I've been walking in the Brecon Beacons for many years now so it's always a nice surprise to discover a new path to the peaks or a new viewpoint. We were lucky enough to go on a Survival Training Weekend recently with a local company who was teaching parents how to safely take their children into the hills. The basis of the weekend was around the tragedy of Little Tommy Jones who died in the hills aged 5. The course taught us and refreshed existing knowledge about exposure/hypothermia, making a shelter, attracting attention, map reading, etc. Part of weekend was a walk up to Llyn Cwm Llwch – this is a walk I have never done so I went into overdrive with my camera, clicking away. At one particular rest point, I spotted a couple of trees through which Pen y Fan and Corn Du could be seen so I crouched down on the ground and took a photo.
As we walked further up the hill, it became apparent that we were going to get wet – the biggest clue was the dark clouds and the rainbow. It always pays to look behind you as I would have missed this rainbow otherwise.
After the weekend was over, which we thoroughly enjoyed, we drove back towards home. As we drove, we spotted another fantastic view of the hills that we'd never seen before. We turned the car around and parked in a gateway. This was a perfect way to end the weekend – that and a lasagne with a pint of Hobgoblin in the local pub.

Newly Trained EMD Saves Baby.
Hello Fred, my name is Barry Laird and I am a dispatcher for GoldStar EMS in Port Arthur, Texas. I would like to thank you for the wonderful class that you provided to us.
I would like you to know that because of your class, exactly one day after I recieved my certification card I EMD'ed a call of a 3 week old infant not breathing. I am very pleased to announce that due to the out standing training that you gave me I saved that babies life.
I instructed the mother and father to give rescue breathing for 35 minutes while waiting on the ambulance to come from a very long distance. The residence was in a rural community. My partners dispatched our new BO 105 Helicopter called Angel-1 from our Angel flight program.
The baby is alive and well when only 2 weeks ago the baby was puple and not breathing. I personally on behalf of my self, my partners, and the babies family would like to thank you for a job well done.
I remember what you told me the last day of class after it was over, you said to me " I can always tell when some one will be good at it and your one of them ". Thank you for beliving in me. I also have a copy of the tape from the long call where you can hear the baby cry for the first time....It was heart renching..
Thank you again,
Barry Laird NREMD

1995 Moreau "Vaillons" Chablis
Stony pineapple, a hint of flower and flint; that's the perfume. Fine intensity and good acidity, with a somewhat loose-knit structure and plenty of fruitiness. Nice, long finish with an apply sort of tinge. Not the very best Chablis has to offer, but delicious on its own terms, a good deal at $22, and an object lesson to California winemakers about how to make a good, inexpensive, unoaked chardonnay.

Have you ever faced with iTunes error 1604 problem when you trying to restore iPhone from iTunes or upgrade to a new iOS version? If you do and don't know what to do, check this post and get solutions to it.
Many iPhone users have complained that when they try to restore iPhone but iTunes can't pass the "preparing iPhone for restore" stage, it fails and displays unknown iTunes error 1604. They have tried so many times but still can't get iPhone working. Why this iTunes error appear? What should we do when we facing the exact same problem? Keep reading and check the details.
According to Apple Community, the iTunes error 1604 is often related to USB timing. That is to say, it is a hardware issue. The issue may be the result of a problem with your USB port, or the dock connector to USB cable, which connects to both your iPhone and computer. Regardless of where the issue originates, the error will stop the progress of your iPhone's restore process. To solve this problem, please try these following steps one by one.
Make sure your iTunes is the latest version. Open up the options menu and check if your iTunes is the latest version. If not, please update it to the latest version. Please keep internet connection active during the updating process. After the updating process is finished, restart iTunes and try to restore again.
Check your USB port. Use the USB cable that came with your device. If you don't have it, try a different Apple USB cable. Switch to a different USB port on your computer. Don't plug into your keyboard. Switch to a USB port on a different computer.
Click on update/restore to begin the process in DFU mode.
If this iTunes error 1604 still exists after you have tried every solution above, you might need an alternative software. Here we recommend PhoneRescue for iOS to help you to restore iPhone without iTunes.
PhoneRescue is developed to save lost data and files in the most convenient way. It enables you to get back everything essential for you in every possible way.

Student feature of the week - Ellen Haverkamp
Leder Students Bring Solutions to the City During Construction in Internal Case Competition
Our internal case competition this year focused on the loss to businesses due to city construction. We partnered with the City of Edmonton to create a case where our students could come up with solutions for the City of Edmonton and small businesses around the city to manage the loss they face when there is construction.
As a frequent small business visitor, I often see a blocked road or lots of construction and it immediately turns me in the opposite direction. Often times I don't even bother trying to get to the final location if there is lots of construction. So, the city and small businesses wondered, how we can come up with a solution to aid small businesses who are struggling due to the lengthy construction time periods.
Seven teams were formed, and they got to work interviewing businesses, looking at other cities who have programs in place to reduce the impact on small businesses, and creating a solution. All the teams had awesome ideas, but one team truly had a good understanding of a way to mitigate the impact. Faith Carnegie, Diquita Cardinal, Jenae Charlebois, and Deserinque Ricketts, decided on creating a Construction Mitigation Program. This would involve having communication and public meetings so that construction workers, business owners, and customers could have a voice in what would help to minimize construction disruption. The program would also include free advertising around the city for particular businesses in construction zones. A few more perks to the program would be partnering with underground parkades to provide additional free parking, street art, and grants for businesses facing long term construction. Finally, the program would have program liaisons who would be in charge of communicating with the businesses to keep updated on the struggles they are facing and find ways in attempt to resolve the issues.
It is great to have the opportunity for our students to help solve, real-life and current issues. A big thank you to the City of Edmonton for partnering with us and a congrats to all the teams who came out and participated. We are looking forward to what next year's case might bring!
Meet Ellen Haverkamp, third-year student at the Leder School of Business visiting from Ede Christian University, Leder's partner school in the Netherlands. We asked Ellen few things she liked about Leder, King's, and Edmonton.
"I love King's and the Leder school of business because they have such a great international student program. The King's community is definitely one of my favourite things; there is always something going on or something to do which builds a strong community. I love the nature here in Canada and am excited to try out snowboarding. Here my favourite course would have to be International Business, while in the Netherlands I really enjoyed the Advising course. I love studying, so after I graduate I plan to go and do my masters in Human Resource Advising."

Highlights of the GE Outstanding Students Award Presentation Ceremony and Tea Reception
On 25 January 2018, the "GE Outstanding Students Award Ceremony" was held to recognize students who have excellent performance in GE courses, GE activities as well as enthusiastic contribution in community services. We were honored to have Ms. Esther Wong, the Patron and Vice-President of HKBU Century Club, as our guest to present the awards and share the fruitful outcomes with us in the ceremony.
After the award presentation, the five awardees shared their whole-person learning experience in GE courses. They believed that GE courses helped them in their career path since they could learn different useful skills such as public speaking and IT knowledge. Besides, they participated in various GE activities such as outing to the New Life Social Enterprise, volunteer trainings and so on.
GE courses and activities help students to achieve the goal of whole-person development. They become well-prepared for the challenges in school life and workplace through interdisciplinary learning in different GE courses outside their major studies, as well as participation in thought-provoking and engaging activities outside the classroom.

The idea for this article came to me knowing it would be posted on Labor Day, but the message here knows no season. We all have opinions, beliefs, and experiences with work and because of those things, we have developed working habits. My goal today is to give you some new input that will help you think about work in new ways, and hopefully help you get better results.
I remember a day when I was about twenty, my dad and I were in a field doing a physically difficult job in the beating sun. We took a break and he said, "That's why you are going to college, so you can work with your brain, not your back." Dad's comment pointed to a point we all recognize – that there are different kinds of work.
I, like my dad, am a believer in work.
Some people share the perspective of author Jerome K. Jerome who wrote, "I like work; it fascinates me. I can sit and look at it for hours."
All kidding aside, others share a belief closer to Dwayne Johnson who said, "Success isn't always about greatness. It's about consistency. Consistent hard work leads to success. Greatness will come."
Mr. Jerome was likely thinking about physical labor, after all that is the work we can see, and might want to avoid. The work "The Rock" is talking about could be hard physical labor, but can clearly transcend that kind of effort.
I am suggesting you think about work differently, or at least giving you suggestions of some things to consider. As you read what follows, don't just nod your head. Ask yourself if you are thinking in these ways. More importantly, ask yourself if you are working in these ways.
Work Smart. You've heard it; work smart, not hard. It sounds good, but it isn't that simple. First, smart work can be hard, so don't think of these as opposites. Working smart means using the tools at your disposal effectively, knowing that other tools could help, and using them too. These tools could be physical tools, technology, processes, or mental models. Using a variety of tools well is working smart.
Work Thoughtfully. Working thoughtfully requires a change of pace. When we plan, we are working thoughtfully. When we reflect on past experiences before diving into the next one, we are working thoughtfully. Stop and think – that is the first step in your effort, and sets up the job that follows to be more effective.
Work Purposefully. What are you working for? What are you trying to accomplish? When you are clear on your answers to these questions, your work will be far more effective and rewarding. As a bonus, when we are doing something that is meaningful to us, it feels less like work – we aren't making ourselves do it, we are doing it because we want to.
Be Willing to Work Hard. Everything above can be hard. It can make you physically, mentally, and emotionally tired. But you won't reach your goals, won't reach your potential, and won't have success without the willingness and ability to get to it.
On this Labor Day, or any day, make your goal not just to labor or work, but to do the right labor at the right time for the right reasons. When you do that, you will have greater success and greater rewards. That is a new way to think about work.

Most of us have heard of road rage. But the road is not the only place anger takes place. There have been several incidents in my lifetime of people who have been so angry at work they have taken a gun to work and killed several employees. It makes you kinda scared to even want to work out in the public. I remember there was a postal worker who just went
Consequences of anger
Definition : a strong feeling of annoyance. Displeasure, or hostility.
What happened when your angry according to Pshycology today anger releases the stress hormone and that can destroy nuraons in areas of the brain associated with juedment and short term momory. Anger can weeken the immune system.
What the Bible says
According to the bible, there is a whole host of problems that arise from anger but I think I will let that be for another post. The bible also tells us in Ephesians 4:26 not to let the sun go down on our anger and in Proverbs 19:11 A person's wisdom yields patience; it is to one's glory to overlook an offense. Proverbs is probably one of my favorite books in the bible. It's like a condensed source of wisdom. I could overwhelm you with the sheer amount of verses that talk about not letting anger get the best of you. I heard one paster say something akin to when the bible mentions something at least once then you need to listen but if it is mentioned twice then you need to head it and if it is 3 time then don't falter to put it into action.
Just a little more
Most Christians buy into the whole don't get angry. Now I don't agree with the whole idea of never getting angry. However, letting it eat at you and burn inside you dwelling on it. This is where the problem lies. I think that is what It means in Ephesians about not letting the sun go down and your anger. Choosing to let it go and let God take care of it. As it says in Proverbs 23:11 for their (the righteous) Defender is strong; he will take up their case against you. In other words

Welcome to The Disability Insider Blog, the law blog published by me, Kathryn L. Blevins, owner and attorney of Blevins Law, LLC. I am a former disability claims examiner for Social Security disability benefits, turned social services program manager, turned lawyer. I went to a public interest law school that focused on providing quality services to clients that needed it the most, and that has stuck with me in my private practice. This blog is one of the ways in which I try to make the law and lawyers accessible to everyone.
The Disability Insider Blog will discuss issues pertaining to Social Security benefits (Supplemental Security Income and Social Security Disability Insurance) and veterans' benefits administered by the Department of Veterans Affairs, or VA. You will find posts on new laws regarding those benefits, tips and tricks on how to get approved for those benefits (yes – even without a lawyer sometimes!), and other news that I think you might find helpful. My practice also works with people to help them prepare for those unfortunate circumstances we could find ourselves in but don't like to think about – when you are so ill that you need someone you trust to make healthcare decisions for you. To that end, the blog will also discuss issues pertinent to getting your affairs in order, end-of-life care, and other issues regarding planning for those situations.
I will post at least once every week, and will touch on all of the topics discussed above. Be sure to subscribe to the blog so you can get email updates every time a new post is published. Also follow me on Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn.
About Me
At Blevins Law, LLC, I combine my passion for mental health and disability rights with my experience advocating on behalf of disability applicants to provide you with comprehensive representation for your disability and healthcare planning needs. Blevins Law is based in the greater Washington DC metro area, and focuses on Social Security disability benefits, Veterans' Disability Compensation benefits, and advanced medical planning. Fortunately, due to the nature of Social Security and Veterans' benefits, Blevins Law can serve clients anywhere in the U.S.
A Family Affair
As a child I often joined my father at work, where he led a non-profit organization specializing in the vocational training of adults with disabilities. This exposure to a "person first" approach to disability rights cultivated in me a passion to serve people living with disabilities. Later in life, after helping a close family member navigate continued health crises, my interest in disability rights turned into a personal desire to help people get the care and benefits they need, protect their families, and prepare for the difficult times in life that most of us avoid thinking about.
A Social Security "Insider"
I began my disability career as a claims examiner for a Disability Determination Services (DDS) office in Virginia. DDS is the office that reviews Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) applicants' initial claims and first appeals, called reconsideration claims. Thus, while at DDS, I reviewed medical and non-medical evidence to determine whether applicants met the Social Security Administration's stringent definition of "disability." Thus, I have received the same training that all current DDS claims examiners receive, and I know how the system works. Importantly, I understand how to present a case that is easy for DDS to approve and hard to deny. Because this same medical criteria applies at higher levels of review, I can also use the same techniques to get your claim approved even if you have been denied two or more times.
After spending time at DDS, I quickly began to see how challenging the process was for applicants, and how devastated applicants were to be denied benefits. Frustrated with the status quo, I left to spearhead a social services program developed to help applicants successfully navigate the Social Security process. All of my clients were homeless or at risk of becoming homeless, and diagnosed with serious mental illness. Thus, most clients had little to no consistent medical treatment, and those that did were unable to provide many details. Many were also struggling with some form of substance abuse, which is not considered a disability for Social Security purposes and can complicate an applicant's chances of approval. Despite these many challenges, while leading this program I increased the approval rating for my clients to nearly three times the national average, and trained other local service providers to do the same. However, some claims were so far into the appeals process, or so legally complicated, that the assistance of an experienced disability attorney was still necessary. Unfortunately, many attorneys were reluctant to accept such complicated, "long-shot" cases. As a result, I decided to fill the void myself, and left to attend law school.
After graduating cum laude from the University of the District of Columbia David A. Clarke School of Law, I entered private practice handling post-conviction criminal defense matters. One of my greatest pleasures was helping clients who struggled with mental health impairments and substance abuse. Always one to root for the "underdog," I found criminal defense work immensely rewarding. However, disability work continued to call for me. As a result, Blevins Law, LLC, was born.
A Military Spouse with a Passion to Help
As challenging as the Social Security process is for applicants, so too can accessing VA Disability Compensation benefits be for veterans. In speaking about my experiences with Social Security disability benefits, I often met veterans who told me the same story: long processing times and seemingly arbitrary disability ratings left them wondering whether this country was committed to taking care of its veterans. As the spouse of a twice-deployed veteran, this was and continues to be unacceptable to me. Many of my husband's former unit members were injured in combat, and though many years have passed since they were deployed, they continue to struggle with getting the highest disability rating they deserve.
Contact Me
If you have questions about how to handle your Social Security disability or VA Disability Compensation claims, or health care planning, contact me. You can email me directly at firstname.lastname@example.com, call the office at (301) 531-4420, send me a message on the contact page of this blog, or visit my firm's website. Though I do check and respond to comments on this blog regularly, any questions about your specific case or situation should be directed to me through one of the three methods described here.

I hate being fat. Other people seem to hate the fact that I'm fat, too. Strangers have told me to lose weight as I've walked down the street; TV shows and movies crack jokes about women who look like me; and when I make a self-deprecating but lighthearted joke about "my fat ass" not fitting into a dress or a narrow chair, well-meaning acquaintances have delicately tried to assure me it's not true, as though my size — my factual and undeniable physical form — were something I should not accept.
But even worse than being a fat woman is being an unhappy fat woman. As the fat-positive movement continues to grow, with blogs showcasing people of all sizes becoming confident fashion stars on Tumblr and Instagram (love you, GabiFresh!), I can't just quietly be a fat person. Thanks to the tummy that hangs over the top of my jeans, the chin the doubles up when I lower my head and the upper arms that wiggle every time I wave, I am an example that fat people can and do exist. I'm not just a person — I'm a fat person. And in a society that time and time again rejects fat people — mocks them, judges them, assumes things about their health and social status — every time I leave the house, I am forced to be a positive example.
But I'm a traitor, and I've been carrying this guilt for too long. I love that the fat-positive movement exists. I love that because of it, seemingly more and more people are learning to love and not hide their bodies. But even with all the inspiring greatness out there, I still hate that I am fat. I will kick and scream on Twitter about people who cruelly fat-shame others (looking at you, Ricky Gervais and 85 percent of Reddit users), but truth be told, I privately fat-shame myself on a regular basis. There isn't a day that goes by when I don't look at my stomach or thighs and think, "Gross."
It's not like I haven't tried to change my attitude, and my opinion about myself doesn't apply to others. I have friends in a variety of sizes who rock the shit out of sexy dresses and cute outfits — they embrace every curve and bump and wear bright colors and tight clothes (both of which are plus-size no-nos, judging by the bland, tent-like offerings in your average department store), and they proudly post selfies showing off each day's efforts. And they are babes. Do you hear me, ladies? You are total babes!
But I am not a babe. At least, not in my own mind. And the fat-positive movement has not changed that. In fact, to be honest, it has made it worse. It has made me even more self-conscious, because the one flaw of the otherwise fantastic fat-posi trend is that there's no room to discuss the possibility that you might not feel so positive about being fat.
My husband has no complaints, my closest friends don't seem to care, but for whatever reason I can't apply the admiration I have for another woman's confidence to myself. Despite the fact that I've been the same dress size (18) for several years, I treat my body like it's temporary. I don't bother trying to dress myself in anything beyond a baggy hoodie and the same pair of Gap Curvy jeans because I'm not going to be in this body much longer. I will lose weight. I will get back to the size I was 10 years ago. I will start running again, I will stop eating candy, and I will be able to wear a pair of jeans for more than a few months before my thighs wear a hole through the cheap denim.
I own seven T-shirts that fit me without hugging my tummy or arms a little too tight — two of them are literally falling apart — but I have three boxes full of clothes that haven't fit me since George W. Bush was in office. I hang onto those size 8 Lucky jeans I wore when I was 24 as though they'll come alive at night and whisper motivating weight-loss secrets into my ear as I sleep.
I want to love my fat ass as much as I love the fat-positive movement, but I can't help but feel like a flaw, a bad example, a traitor. I am evidence that not every fat person is OK with the fact that they're fat, and I hate that.
But I hate that I'm fat even more.

Light Millennium ("LM") is proud
to launch its new "RUMI &
CLARKE Inspirational Writing Awards Project"
as an OPEN CALL TO ALL globally
in conjunction with educational institutions
and after school programs at local levels.
This unique project coincides with the
800th Birthday of Mevlana Celaleddin
Rumi (1207 - 1273), which is also
inspired by internationally 2007-RUMI
YEAR (UNESCO), and legendary living author
and scientist Arthur C. Clarke's 90th
Birthday (December 16, 2007).
"Awards" part of the
program solely aims to encourage and involve
students actively in inspirational writing
process based on RUMI & CLARKE's visions
with a hope that RUMI & CLARKE's visions
will help connect students at both local
and global levels with Eastern and Western
philosophies and will greatly serve removing
prejudice from both parts towards one
another as well as from students' minds.
For this very reason, this project has
both local and global purpose and perspective.
For the local part of the project, we
are seeking to collaborate with schools/educational
institutions at levels from elementary
and after school programs (from elementary
to high schools) to college and universities.
The Light Millennium is honored and excited
to present an annual Writing Awards Project
which will build a bridge between the
13th Century Middle Eastern philosopher
and poet Mevlana Celaleddin RUMI, and
a Western visionary, pioneer scientist
and legendary author Sir Arthur C. CLARKE,
who has marked the 20th and 21st centuries
with his visions. This project aims to
encourage children and youth, from elementary
school to the university levels, to generate
positive ideas with regard to connecting
the East & West. Through a writing
contest based upon RUMI's & CLARKE's
visions in literature, arts, science,
and the future, LM endeavors to foster
a bridge between EAST & WEST, which
will promote mutual understanding, as
well as cultural exchange and enrichment
among the young generation. With
the "Awards" part of the project,
we encourage young people from all ways
of life to be part of this project, in
a celebration of these "Two
Universal Men"s Visions.
For the first year (2007), we aim to collaborate
with at least one elementary, one middle,
and one high school, as well as one college
or university. However, the project
will be open to ALL globally via On-Line
submissions and to all students from elementary
to university level.
We would be interested in collaborating
with your educational institution for
procuring writing submissions from your

Abstract: Introduction: When the Roma fell ill in the past, they used herbal home remedies to treat diseases. If the remedy failed to cure the illness, they called the local healer. Today, most Roma visit physicians. This study investigates health beliefs and practices held by the Roma people in Slovenia and their response to febrile illnesses.
Methods: Field interviews using a semi-structured questionnaire were conducted in the vicinity of Kočevje. Sociodemographic data were gathered and recorded manually, and the interviews were tape recorded. Qualitative analysis was performed by three researchers. Special attention was paid to data validation.
Results: The majority of Roma are not acquainted with thermometers and therefore do not use them. About onethird of the interviewees knew what the normal body temperature should be. Only 15% of the Roma population take their body temperature when they are feeling unwell. One-half visit their physicians. More than half of the population take paracetamol or aspirin when they feel feverish. More often, they resort to tea and emphasize the healing effect of sweating.
Conclusion: The Roma beliefs and practices regarding health and fever are instructive and show how impoverished a narrow biomedical approach can be. Failure to use technical devices, such as thermometers, and lack of familiarity with the numerical values defining the border between normal and elevated body temperature, nonetheless do not mean that the Roma take inappropriate measuresin response to illness. Illnesses (including fever) can also be recognized without these tools and can be appropriately responded to by drinking teas, using compresses, and taking fever-reducing medications.Keywords: Roma, illness, thermometer, fever, activity, doctorPublished: 05.04.2017; Views: 398; Downloads: 77 Full text (236,53 KB)This document has many files!

Abstract: Objectives: Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) measures a patient's subjective experience of his or her health status. We aimed to show how the presence of chronic diseases and satisfaction with family physicians (FPs) were associated with the HRQoL of a Roma population.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out in May 2011 on a representative sample of 650 Roma living in Prekmurje, Slovenia. The EQ-5D questionnaire was used for measuring the HRQoL of the Roma. Demographical data, 12 groups of diseases diagnosed in the last 12 months and satisfaction with FPs were included in the questionnaire.
Results: The response rate was 88.3% (574), of which 56.4% were female, and the average age of the participants had a mean value of 40.2+-12.7 years. The presence of cardiovascular problems with risk factors for them or presence of musculoskeletal disorders were strongly associated with the presence of pain (Cramer's V = 0.40 and 0.46 respectively). There was a strong association between the presence of mental disorders and anxiety and depression (Cramer's V = 0.58). The average satisfaction with the family physician was 3.9 (mean+-1.10) on a five-point Likert scale. There was no significant association between HRQoL and satisfaction with the family physician.
Conclusions: Roma with chronic mental health problems had the lowest HRQoL in the Roma population. More attention should be paid to this subgroup of Roma in family medicine, and interventions should be provided. High satisfaction with their FPs is not associated with the observed quality of life variables.Keywords: quality of life, Roma, patient satisfactionPublished: 05.04.2017; Views: 444; Downloads: 83 Full text (232,60 KB)This document has many files!

Check Out This Adorable Dairy Packaging
by Natalie Mouradian on 09/19/2018 | 4 Minute Read
Storience designed the adorable yet modern packaging for Laptaria cu Caimac, a family-owned Romanian dairy brand.
"Two young entrepreneurs wanted to expand the activity of their 20 years old family business (one of the biggest and most efficient cow farms in Romania), by building a dairy factory. An integrated dairy business has the advantage of great quality control. Paired with the owner's passion for tasty products, the new dairy brand's differentiator was quickly obvious: top quality products, minimally processed (with the farm in the factory's yard, there's less need for processing)."
"While for some brands the difficulty lies in finding and defining their differentiators, in this case, the challenge was to prioritize them, in order to avoid the 'too good to be true' feeling:- Traceability of the milk- Natural products: no powder milk, no additives, the milk as given by the cow (variable fat), minimal processing- Integrated business- High care standards for the cows- Perfect safety: no human or air contact with the milk; ultra-modern factory- Glass-based, eco-friendly packagingWe called for consumer research to learn about consumer interests and prioritize these differentiators based on their relevance. The results indicated that people cared most about traceability of milk and its minimal processing. In a market where producers can use powder milk at leisure without even mentioning it on the packaging, natural milk with traceable sourcing was deemed a clear winner.""Whereas the good, natural taste of dairy is something Romanians keep looking for in traditional markets, where peasants bring their handmade products, modern life standards bring along food safety expectations that these small producers cannot guarantee. Also, they do not have the force to enter modern supermarkets. We figured our client's brand could bring together the best of both worlds: offering consumers fresh and natural products, minimally processed, as from traditional farms, while ensuring food safety and supermarket presence."
"To emphasize traceability, we agreed with the client that transparency will be part of their business philosophy. Further on, to build on this red thread, we made transparency a feat of the product packaging. Milk and yogurt would sit in glass bottles and jars, while the cheese products would get a see-through, resealable packaging.For now, the brand sells five products in supermarkets: milk (the flagship product), yogurt, clotted cream, fresh cheese, and aged cheese. But its ambition is to constantly create new recipes."
"The name 'Laptaria cu caimac' was created by the client to convey the idea of top quality dairy. The Romanian word 'Caimac' depicts the protective fatty layer that forms on top of natural, minimally processed milk, but it is also used connotatively to mean 'the best things.'To sweeten the bold, black shape of the blown-up L initial, we added the friendly cow illustration that the farm business had already used in its logo. Thus, we also showed the link between the two sides of the business."

Note: This story is a snarky little branch off of one of my most popular Bellesa stories "Comings and Goings" – a tale about a sneaky hookup in an airport bathroom thanks to the wonders of modern dating technology. You don't have to read it to enjoy this one, but it provides another layer of context. (And it's a pretty decent smutty read in its own right.)
Despite the fuzz of post-orgasm bliss blurring the corners of my vision, I floated my way back safely to my gate. Plopping back down in the same chair I'd sat in before, I pulled my phone out of my pocket and found two message notifications.
One from the Wow Girl—a kissing winky face and a waving hand.
And one from you.
You: It's getting, um… harder and harder to wait for your arrival. The anticipation has been quite literally painful.
Me: I can imagine.
You: Have you thought about what you'd like me to do to you as soon you get here?
Me: Mm… I haven't really been thinking about you at all.
You: Oh…
Me: I've been a little distracted.
You: What's up? You okay?
Me: Oh yeah, everything's fine. I just had a very scandalous encounter with a gorgeous lady here at the airport.
You: Oh did you now?
Me: I did.
You: Will you tell me about it?
Me: Hmmm… Not sure I should… Do you think you handle it in your condition?
As soon as we settled and booked my long overdue visit nearly four weeks prior, a moratorium was placed on your orgasms until my arrival. For reasons I'll probably never understand, you were always only too willing to torture yourself for my enjoyment.
You: Ha. I've made it this far, haven't I?
As I crafted a quick summary of my antics in the ladies' room not 10 minutes prior, the pre-boarding announcement for my flight rang out over the intercom.
Though your response to my story was nothing more than a simple Mmm, I could feel the rumble of your low groan through the screen in my palm.
You: I didn't expect it to be *that* scandalous.
Me: Serves you right for underestimating me.
You: I promise to be more conscientious in the future. But you have to admit, that was a little mean.
Me: You love it.
Him: I never said I didn't. It's just that there are only so many ways a guy can subtly adjust himself in clear view of his coworkers.
I squirmed in my seat at the thought of you squirming in yours.
Me: I love knowing how much frustration I bring you.
You: Would you like to see what that kind of frustration looks like?
Me: Yes, please.
I took a moment then to look around at the other people sitting around the gate. Still, so many of them had eyes glued to their own screen. I wondered if any of them suspected what I was up to, if they were able to pick up the musk of arousal emanating from me (that I was only too aware of then, myself). I wondered too if any of them were as eyeballs-deep in a filthy moment as I was…
My phone vibrated in my palm, bringing me back to the task at, uh, hand.
I prepared myself for the incoming message—composing my frame and freezing my face in a look of casual nonchalance. Just as the gate attendant made the general boarding announcement, I unlocked the screen. Your pixelated perfection filled the text window and my mouth watered like I'd just opened a fresh jar of dill pickles.
You always got your angles just right. Your hand placement at the base, adding just the right amount of constriction to make your cock's head—which was oozing with just a hint of translucent precum—blush a deeper shade of red. You were poking (with gusto) through your open fly, the ends of your open dress shirt acting like starched stage curtains—a perfect frame for the stage of your well-kept thatch of pubic hair and all that was nestled there—and the white, natural lighting wherever you were painted the whole canvas with an angelic sheen.
Never underestimate the potential of an excellently shot (keyword: welcome) dick pic, my friends.
Me: Oh my… I might need to go back to that bathroom stall for a minute.
You: You should definitely do that.
It seemed though that time had passed while I was caught up drooling over your lovely cock. The announcement for final boarding on my flight blared over the speakers.
Me: Too late. Boarding now!
You: Right. I'll see you right after work tomorrow then. Let me know when you land! xx
Me: Will do. xoxo
As romantic as I find airports, the inevitable plane part of the experience can leave a lot to be desired. And for that transatlantic flight, I found myself in a middle seat between two large, particularly oblivious men.
No, I don't know why I didn't just pony up the extra few dollars to select my seat to avoid this exact situation. I travel enough to know better…
Thankfully, the simmering aftereffects of my bathroom orgasms left me all pliant and dozy. I fell asleep before we even left the tarmac.
And I was sleeping pretty soundly too until I couldn't ignore the increasing pressure coming at me from either side, popping me like a pimple back to consciousness.
The acrid look I gave each of these vicious manspreaders could have bored a hole straight through the earth's core, but do you think they noticed?
Spoiler alert: they didn't.
At first, I refused to move and pressed subtly back into them. But whether it was because they were that oblivious to my existence or just didn't care to acknowledge it, this technique didn't bring about any change to the situation.
Needless to say, I was nonplussed.
I checked the time. Great—only 5 more hours of this…
With his mouth open wide enough to create an echo chamber for the rattling snores already creeping up from his throat, the man to my right was sleeping as peacefully as I should have been. Meanwhile, the man to my left was plinking away on his laptop, the screen set to brighter-than-brightness in the otherwise fairly dark cabin.
I figured that my best bet was to try and go back to sleep and pretend all of this just wasn't happening. With my headphones in to drown out the snoring and my eye mask to block out the tiny sun next to me, I then tore the scratchy plane blanket, which I'd been absently warming between my thighs this whole time, from its plastic bag and carefully tucked it over one shoulder and then the other to drape my front, doing my best not to touch the men any more than I had to like it was some nefarious, life-size game of Operation.
Elbows were still poking over the edge of my armrests while their knees touched my outer thighs, but I crossed my legs and my arms under my blanket, zipping my body up as tightly into its midline as it could go in an attempt to create a sliver of separation.
That was as good as it was going to get.
It nearly worked too. Until the monster of a small child behind me kicked the back of my seat.
I ripped off my eye mask and huffed hard through my nose while my shoulders crawled up even closer to my ears. You've got to be fucking joking me…
I was ready to flip the proverbial table.
Lips pursed, jaw clenched, eyebrows sewed together at the bridge of my nose… My whole body was in a state of disdain and my grimace would have been obvious to anyone who looked. Everyone but those two loathsome orangutans, apparently.
The tighter I clamped down on myself, the more concentrated the pressure at my core grew. The energy in me then was dense, like all the air had been strangled out and all that was left is hard, packed, suffocating tension.
And then, my pussy gulped for air.
Now, I was admittedly caught off guard by this sudden contraction. It probably a lot to do with the fact that I was still coming down from having hooked up with that babe in the bathroom and the anticipation of finally seeing you again after our time apart. But there was also something cathartic in this sudden and immediate tension that I couldn't help but dig deeper into. So I did precisely that.
Focusing on my whole pelvic region, I pressed my thighs even closer together. I clenched everything from my abdominals to my knees, working my way down to more and more isolated spaces until only my vaginal walls were pulsing in on themselves. Every concentrated squeeze brought me a little closer to the edge, though it was difficult to maintain any sort of rhythm; the more excited I got, the more my discipline waned. My closed eyelids mimicked the pulsing contractions in my cunt, squeezing a little harder along with each one, rolling my eyes even deeper into the darkness at the back of my skull.
As I went through my clandestine exercises, I thought about how much the mere existence of these two obtrusive men had upset me. I thought about how much more conscientious and self-aware you were and the way you touched me, the way you were going to touch me in half a day's time. Somewhere between that train of thought and the echoes of the encounter with my Wow Girl, I slipped away and found myself blissfully enveloped inside my own body.
Until the sleeping one shifted and pulled me back to the world where they still existed. With his face tilted towards me, I could feel the idea of his breath on my shoulder. I glowered at him and clamped down on my next contraction, holding it as long as I could as I shot daggers into his forehead. My chest heaved a little harder into my crossed arms while my thigh twitched against him and my knees shuddered.
Utterly ambivalent to what was happening right next to him, he didn't so much as stir.
In that same moment, the man on the other side adjusted himself and his knee knocked into my other side. Just as I turned to glare at him, he scratched his balls and set back to work on his keyboard. My lip curled; I hated him even more for that. I harnessed that animosity and squeezed down with more intent on my pelvic floor. The tension between my legs was growing so intense that it nearly hurt, which only made me want to chase it even more.
I turned back to the seat in front of me and closed my eyes. My clenching was fairly steady and rhythmic, but the volume that had been flushed out before was swelling back in again. The solid density of my frustration melting, filling my spaces with liquid need. I was ready then to dive in.
Slowly, without disturbing the men on my armrests, I slinked one hand down, sliding it beyond the waistband of my pants. I stared at the sleeping man as I did so, daring him to look at me and still have no idea what was going on under my blanket. I was met with a surge of heat as I carefully dipped my finger into the wetness pooling there and traced slow, tiny circles around my swollen clit.
It didn't take long then.
I pressed my tongue to the roof of my mouth, scrunched up my face, and braced myself as a slow and sultry release bloomed and washed over me. Pushing out while holding myself in, my heart pounded into the forearm still wrapped around my midsection. I kept my breath as steady as I could, exhaling slowly through my nose. I glared at the unperturbed snoring man, imagining the growl I wanted to snarl at him as my impressively silent orgasm melted in me, through me, flooding my constricted limbs.
In the dim of the cabin, I breathed through the more subtle reverberations still thumping softly into the cushion beneath me and laughed softly to myself. Who knew there was an upside to the manspreading pandemic?
Eventually, I pulled my hand away from the comforting warmth radiating from between my legs and wiped my fingers on the scratchy blanket. Without further hesitation, I jostled the gross snoring man awake with that same hand.
"Excuse me, I need to get up."
Groggy and disgruntled, he fumbled with his seat belt, reluctantly standing to make way for me. I didn't thank him for moving; I gave him a smug grin on my way past and headed to the toilets.

The ENERGY STAR Connected Thermostat specification requires that the providers of the thermostats gather data about how the products are used in homes, to analyze and aggregate as a way of showing that their product saves most consumers energy. (EPA does not collect any information about single consumer's home, only averages over large groups of homes). Most of the products that can do this are WiFi thermostats, though thermostats that use other types of communications, like z-wave, can also be included.
Most homeowners can save energy with programmable and manual thermostats, if they use them carefully. However, a long history of research eventually showed that most people didn't use them that way - so EPA stopped letting them earn the ENERGY STAR in 2009. In contrast, the results for connected thermostats, using information about how customers actually use them, demonstrate that the savings will largely be realized.

In our CloudJumper blog, we devote a lot of time talking about how we benefit our partners: our great solutions — Cloud Workspace & Cloud Workspace Management Suite — for building your MSP business; and our long-term experience in the industry and that we fully share our knowledge to your benefit; not to mention the great opportunity to help you help your End Customers feel totally secure, in case anything ever goes wrong.
But, What About the End Customer? We've Got Them Covered too!
In this article from CIOReview, the writer goes through the benefits of the cloud, calling it "the optimal technology for business." Yeah, we are more than on board with that notion, and we also fully agree with the points they bring out as to why! So, here is our twist for Workspace as a Service:
Increased Collaboration | More and more companies are operating just as we do at CloudJumper, where I often joke that our headquarters are in the cloud! While our support teams are all centrally located in the Research Triangle in NC, the rest of us work from home offices across the US. That puts an extra challenge on us, how do we all stay connected? Of course, we use a number of 3rd party apps to stay connected for meetings and more, but when it comes to true collaboration, it's all about Office 365 for us! We use OneDrive to share everything and connect across teams and with management. So much better than emailing 23 versions. Which was the right one again? HA never again!
Ability to Access from Anywhere | Somewhat of a corollary to the last, but only slightly. I just have to put this out there! I have been using some version of our WaaS solution since the year 2000! As an end user, there are few people who have been working in a cloud environment longer than me. The two things I fear about retirement are losing my Adobe Cloud subscription and not having access to our environment!
Okay, so this is a personal story, but it highlights the value of the cloud: try this with your average on-prem solution! I needed to bring my dad an Excel spreadsheet I was working on for him – at 90, you don't email, you give him a print out! Well, half way to his house, I realized I'd forgotten one of the docs! No worries, I got on his computer, logged in using an HTML browser and got immediate access to my desktop! It took me longer to turn on his computer than it did to get that document spitting out of his computer! Without CloudJumper, I would have wasted a ton of time!
Enhances Data Security | Simply, yes! For our development team, cyber security is job 1! They work incredibly hard to ensures our solutions are inherently secure. Ask them what keeps them up at night, and they will tell you answering the question: what's coming down the path in a year and how do we solve that now? They never rest on what we have today…they never will! Remember Wanna Cry and Bad Rabbit? We do, as total none events!
Flexibility | Oh do I want to talk about how we can help our partners get into the cloud how its best for their business…but not this week! Today, we're talking about the End Customer! The Cloud is as flexible as the End Customer needs it to be!
• Need more storage? 30 seconds later, it's done!
• Need even more security? Just add optional Multi-Factor Authentication!
• Need special end user control functionality? We've got you covered!
Better Document Control | We have already answered this question above, yes, it's true! Instead, let's talk End Customer control. It means having a portal where the End Customer admin can (de-)provision their users, add storage and more.
Better control also means scheduling resources to automatically cycle up and down based on the business's work hours, while NOT taking away their flexibility to access the network 24-7, during just-in-case times. Our patented hibernate & wake technology that we couple with resource scheduling gives you and your End Customers complete control.
Greater Integration | I know, right now, you're thinking hybrid clouds. Yes, of course! But, let's go past that! In 2019 and beyond, integration is all about Microsoft and how this incredibly important player is affecting the cloud! As a Microsoft proclaimed, "leading partner" in the development of their Windows Virtual Desktop solution (WVD), CloudJumper's partnership with Microsoft allows your End Customers access to the best of Microsoft and Azure, and WVD when it's available later this year!
Are you ready to bring your End Customers to the cloud? Ready to begin building a recurring revenue stream that can help spring-board your business into the stratosphere? It's time to partner with CloudJumper!

Are all churches equally good? God calls us from every walk of life, and people in various denominations love Him, so does it really matter where we go on Sunday morning?
"One Lord, one faith, one baptism." (Ephesians 4:5)
While there is only one body of Christ—those who are born again of the Spirit of God—and God calls us to Himself regardless of where He finds us, it does matter where you go to church. This is because the place you go every Sunday will influence how much of God's Word you are exposed to, how accurately the teaching reflects the Bible, and whether you are taught only what the Bible teaches or extras that people have made up over the years. In other words, it will either help you grow in your knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, as God instructs us to, or hinder you.
The biggest obstacle that keeps many people from finding a church that faithfully represents God's Word is their background. Being taught from childhood on that turning away from a particular church will damn you is a significant deterrent to finding a good church. Yet we need to understand that, difficult as it is to accept, not everything various denominations say is true. Merely claiming you will go to hell if you turn away from a particular religion does not mean you actually will. You have to look at what the religion stands for; what it teaches. If it teaches differently than what the Bible teaches, it does not speak for God and has lost any Biblical authority, notwithstanding misinterpreted Bible verses used to back its claims.
In 2 Timothy 2:13 the apostle Paul tells Timothy to, "Hold fast the pattern of sound words which you have heard…" We are to hold fast to the clear teaching of Scripture. While Catholicism is not the only denomination guilty of misrepresentation, let's discuss the verse "…You are Peter, and upon this rock I will build My church…" (Matthew 16:18) used to claim legitimacy. The Bible was not written in English, so we need to consider the meaning of the words in the original Greek. The two important words in this passage are those translated "Peter" and "rock." The word used for "Peter" means "little piece of rock or chip" as in "chip off of the old block." The word "rock" is "boulder or huge, massive rock." Peter had just acknowledged that Jesus was the Christ, the Son of the living God, and Jesus was saying that Peter evidenced a little bit of the kind of true, strong, boulder-like faith that He would build His church on. It is not a validation of the claim of Catholicism as the legitimate church authorized by Christ.
Besides misrepresenting God's Word, some churches add to what the Bible says. It is a human tendency to embellish what God says; somehow we seem to want to add our own two-cents' worth. The Jews in the Old Testament did it; in addition to the revealed Law God had given, their leaders added a multitude of additional rules and regulations. Unfortunately some churches these days have done the same. Jesus condemned it in the Jews, and we are not to do this either. Revelation 22:18-19 specifically refers to the content of Revelation, but it is reflective of how God feels when we alter His Word: "For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book; and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part form the Book of Life, from the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book."
Misrepresenting or altering God's Word aren't the only things churches can be guilty of. Some churches do not seem to distort the Bible; unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be much of the Bible message preached either, even if they do officially read some verses during their services. 2 Timothy 3:5 speaks of people "having a form of godliness but denying its power;" we are instructed "from such people turn away!" You should be able to summarize what the message was about after listening for twenty minutes or more. If you can't, chances are you're in a church that clings externally to an appearance of Christianity, but isn't actually teaching you what God says.
It is very important that as we start to understand who God is and what He teaches we find a church that clearly teaches His Word without misrepresenting it, or adding to or omitting from it. Humans demand loyalty, but it is God and His teaching we are to cling to. Jesus' disciples were beaten for teaching about Jesus and commanded never to speak in His name again and Peter answered,"We ought to obey God rather than men." (Acts 5:29b) This is our example. It is God who created us, it is God who redeemed us; He is the One we owe obedience to.
Dear Lord,
Thank You for the simple truth of what You say in Your Word. Help us overcome any hesitancy we may have and find a local church that faithfully teaches the Bible so we can grow in our knowledge of You. Impress on us how important this is, and reassure us that rejecting You, not a particular church body, is what damns people. Amen.

A personal message from the president of Quantum Care: After treating patients for 35 years I began to notice that much (not all) of what I and many other doctors did to help people in need could have been done by the patient themselves. I gradually came to the realization that, with some training and the right tools an individual could have a huge impact upon their own health as well as that of their family. Today, with the health care system we now have, there is a very narrow range of problems a medical clinic or hospital can handle. Obviously, trauma care and acute, life-threatening illness belong in a medical setting. However, what about the other 99%? No physician will EVER have what I would call the proper amount of physical time to give to you. They are just too busy. And, think about this: Is that their job? It is not. You are responsible for you. You are responsible for what you think, what you believe, what you eat, what you drink, and how you live your life. With just a little training and the right tools, you can have a profound impact on your overall wellbeing, on ALL levels: physical, emotional, mental, financial, spiritual, you name it! There are some fantastic teachers and health promoters on the internet. If you put in the time, you can find information about all the things you need to completely change your life for the better. Some of the areas that are extremely important involve diet change, stress reduction, exercise, meditation, and various other important life style changes. However, one area that is routinely left out from most self-healing programs and protocols is the absolutely vital and powerful transformational healing approach known as Energy Medicine. The articles on this website are excellent that cover just exactly what is Energy Medicine, so I won't go into that here. Suffice to say, we've been able to help all kinds of folks with all kinds of challenges, including, health imbalances, financial issues and problems with negative emotional attachments. The tools that have helped all kinds of people are inexpensive, effective, easy to learn to use, safe, and work on a much deeper level, than just simply altering a symptom here and there. One should always strive to seek what we call the "Root Cause" of any imbalance in our lives. Philosophically speaking, something we refer to as a "symptom" is not really the problem…it's simply the messenger. If a man knocked on your door and started yelling that your car was on fire, would you grab a garden hose and turn it on him, or your car? Sound crazy? Everyday thousands of people develop a symptom and then set out to treat that symptom. Two of our favorite catch phrases for Quantum Care R & D are: "Helping others, help themselves" And…. "When you learn how to move energy, you've got the world by a string" You have no idea how powerful these words are. But, you are welcome to learn by spending some time on our site.

Does immigration travel ban apply retroactively?
WASHINGTON – The U.S. Supreme Court will soon decide whether a federal immigration law that prevents lawful permanent residents who have been convicted of certain crimes from traveling abroad without being denied reentry applies to convictions that occurred before the law was passed.

Frank Murphy is in his 46th and final year as Cork GAA secretary, while Dr Con Murphy is in his 42nd season as medic to the county's senior teams.
Whether it be on the pitch, the committee room or the dressing room, their dedication to the cause is absolute. Whether it be in Goleen or Gweedore, there's never been a need for surnames when discussing Frank and The Doc.
When they step down from their respective roles, both will inevitably be sprinkled with garlands from on high, but the ones nearest will be dearest to them.
They've been getting a taste in the past week, with both honoured in Cork — Dr Con Murphy named Cork Person of the Month for February, and Frank Murphy awarded the Hall of Fame at the annual Cork City & County Youth awards.
"Dr Con is a giant in Cork and GAA circles," said Cork Person of the Month organiser Manus O'Callaghan.
"His involvement with Cork teams stretches back to 1956 when he served as mascot for that year's All-Ireland final. He's been involved with 25 senior Cork All-Ireland-winning teams, as well as numerous successful minor and U21 teams. And he's been a great friend and confidant to multiple players and UCC students over the years."
The Doc said he was "humbled and very much appreciative" of the recognition.
From referee to county secretary — he says he was only a modest player — Frank Murphy's frontline involvement with Cork GAA extends over half a century.
Since his contract was again extended for a further 12 months, he is currently in his 46th year as secretary of the county board, being one of the first full-time officials when he was first appointed in December of 1972.
At the time, he was building a reputation as a top-class hurling referee, who was well ahead of his time in embracing the idea of continuity of play, long before the GAA introduced an advantage rule.
Former Examiner GAA correspondent Jim O'Sullivan said: "In 1971, he took charge of the All-Ireland senior hurling final between Tipperary and Kilkenny, a game which is often remembered for the fact that Tipperary star Babs Keating finished in his stockinged feet. For Frank, what made the year especially memorable was the fact that he also refereed the inaugural All-Ireland club final, the National League final, and the Munster final."
At home in Cork, he refereed no fewer than ten county hurling finals, as well as one in football.
The Hall of Fame Award was sponsored by Gurranabraher Credit Union.

plants and the trees and get in touch with Mother Nature! My whole intention is to, one day open & own a wellbeing centre which I will call 'Zen Zion, Wellness Retreat. You may be saying "it's only a dream", but with faith, persistence, perseverance and
intention, 'only a dream' can become a reality... When I dreamed up my vision of the future, I saw our home, our garden, our wellness centre... Reiki, meditation, aromatherapy, massage, holistic counselling and many other services will be available from our
centre along with 7 Chakra rooms that people from a distance will be able to stay in so as to be able to enjoy what we offer... I am an accredited meditation teacher/holistic counsellor and I also do intuitive and card readings... I'm not any different from
any of you... But I do have belief in what's possible and... Dreams... Our zen garden... Hopes... Our Wellbeing centre... Aspirations... A home run business that offers all services to all people's seeking guidance and enlightenment... Reality... A dream come
true... Our lives... Happy and fulfilled and knowing we've meant more to life than just living... Thank you for all your donations, cost cutting and time and effort that has been put into Zen Zion... The place where dreams begin to become reality, you have
helped a dream enter into a state of fruition... Now I'm back to me and I am now 2 years post breast cancer, I will be out there making this dream become a reality... Getting my hands dirty and proving to everyone... Dreams really can come true!
