A quick post for fellow Blogger Harry, check out his work here if you haven't already seen it http://fisharry.blogspot.com.au/
I base my figures on either old credit cards or tongue depressors, using standard gap filler. The rule set I use has x2 figures on a base representing about 30 men, a single figure on a base about 10 men
Then a drop of super glue is added.
Finished. You get hundreds of stands based from a tube of gap filler, which is workable and washes out in water. As me old mate Foster would say... "model on Harry".

My smoke detector won't stop chirping.
I'm pretty sure someone murdered his mother with a sword because of last week's show.
I try to drown it out with my soundboard but it won't work.
My show next week may be cancelled because I've burned my house down. On purpose.
Out of spite.

Some engineering teams have been piloting a weekly pulse survey. We are expanding this practice to all engineering teams. This page outlines the current method by which we have launched the weekly pulse survey to help other directors launch their own.
Survey results are presented in a Sisense Dashboard called Engineering Pulse Survey (Resources on Sisense).
The dashboard includes a number of filters, including the engineering group (e.g. Configure, Monitor, Plan, etc) and the engineering team (backend, frontend, security, etc); survey results can also be aggregated to different levels (weekly, monthly, quarterly, or yearly) and the date range can be updated to reflect a specific time period.
This dashboard is auto-refreshed every Friday morning, though it can be refreshed at any time, by clicking the refresh icon in the upper right area of the screen.
The Director of Engineering - Ops sends out the weekly pulse survey through Google Forms. A template of this form can be found here. To start your own survey, make a copy of this form and follow on to the next steps. Tip: Create an email alias for the team members you would like to send the survey to. This insures that it only takes a few seconds to send the survey weekly. It is best to have a sheet per team reporting to the same manager.
The results are piped into a corresponding Google Sheet.
For each Results sheet, a corresponding tab needs to be created in the sheetload.pulse_survey sheet in the Sheetload folder on Drive (Due to sensitive data, this is a limited access folder).
The tab needs to be named
pulse_survey_group_team, e.g.
pulse_survey_configure_be for the backend Configure team.
In that tab, go to spot A1; type
=importrange("urltoresultssheet"), "Form Responses 1!A1:D138").
After hitting enter, there will be an initial permissions error that can be solved by reselecting A1 and granting access.
The four columns should then import.
The columns should be the timestamp then each of the three questions.
Do not edit any column names or results.
The next step is to be sure Sheetload can read and ingest the new tab. The Sheetload readme is the SSOT for the following steps, but an abbreviated version is included for ease of info.
pulse_survey.pulse_survey_group_team convention (there are examples in the file.)
analytics/transform/snowflake-dbt/models/sheetload/base (location) following the naming convention of
sheetload_pulse_survey_group_team.sql; this is a pretty straightforward SQL file and should follow an existing example.
table_list list set beginning on line 7 in
analytics/transform/snowflake-dbt/models/sheetload/xf/engineering_pulse_survey.sql (Location) to add the new dbt model; follow the existing syntax example of
ref('filenamewithoutthe .sql at the end').
After following these steps and getting the MR merged, these will get picked up on the next Sheetload and dbt runs. The Sisense dashboard can always be refreshed to reflect the latest information. New team names and group names will be auto-picked up by Sisense and can be used as filters.
Please share the results of the survey with your team member on a weekly basis. This ensures transparency as well as reinforces the value of this survey. It is important to note that a big element of this survey is providing a safe place for individuals to give feedback, express concerns or highlight an important point. The comment field should be private and only visible by the director administering the survey.

The topic of Generational Curses (GC) is one that has been debated over the years in Kenya. What I have heard and experienced in my interaction with proponents or opponent of this subject is hearty and heated discussions filled with subjective experiences that were devoid of scripture – It is what Paul calls in Colossians 2:4 fine sounding argument. In places where scripture was cited, it was done out of context to support preconceived ideas about the subject. Unfortunately, this is not only true of this topic but of many other controversial subjects as well. This issue is mostly derived from misinterpretation of the specific scriptural passages. I will sample a few here:
Exodus 20:5 (NIV)
You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me,
Exodus 34:7 (NIV)
Maintaining love to thousands, and forgiving wickedness, rebellion and sin. Yet he does not leave the guilty unpunished; he punishes the children and their children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation."
Numbers 14:18 (NIV)
'The Lord is slow to anger, abounding in love and forgiving sin and rebellion. Yet he does not leave the guilty unpunished; he punishes the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation.'
Deuteronomy 5:9 (NIV)
You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me,
Deuteronomy chapter 28 is a famous chapter in the Bible that people go to as well in defense of the teaching of Generational Curses (GC).
Before embarking on what I perceive to be the right biblical view of this subject, let me first address some issues that may lead people – especially Africans– to embraces GC. The two big ones are culture and experience. Most people are bound to their cultures and experiences more than they would want to admit. For example, in Kenya when someone dies there are general rules – cultural norms – that begin to unfold almost automatically.
Friends gather to condole with the bereaved family for as long as it will take for the family to lay their loved one to rest. During this time the bereaved family is obligated to feed the mourners, some who would set camp at their home until after the burial. Part of condoling with the family is to raise money that will cater for all the burial expenses and any pending medical bills. I am convinced that this raising of money for funeral arrangement is not simply a matter of inability – although to most it is – it is a cultural experience.
For example, when Mutula Kilonzo, a prominent politician in Kenya died in 2013, friends and colleagues raised a whooping 13 Million Shillings for his burial. It wasn't because his family was not able to raise this money, it was because when he died the cultural norm started to unfold automatically – people, friends, family and colleagues did what they do when someone passes away. The Kilonzo family is one of the richest in Kenya. After his death, stories circulated in the media of how he spent more than 700,000 Shillings a month to feed the wildlife he kept in his farm. You can complain that the money could have been used for better causes but the people that lined up to give would disagree with you vehemently. Why? because this is what people do when there is a death in Kenya.
Think of what would happen if you behaved contrary to these unwritten rules. (You would be doing what sociologists call ethnomethodology: deliberately disrupting social norms in order to learn about them.) For example, if your friend died, do not show up at their home during the matanga. Refuse to give towards their burial expenses because you are angry as to why they are spending so much money burying him than they did medically treating him etc. Chances are, you will elicit hostile responses from your friends, members of the community and most notably from the family of the bereaved. In some quarters your refusal to participate may make you a suspect for their death.
So, to take this as an example, when the Bible enters into peoples' lives, cultures and experiences it comes in as an outside opinion. It enters into already established norms and as long as it does not interrupt them it is acceptable. In places where it challenges the cultural and experiential norms it is rejected or 'modified' to fit the norms.
This creates a temptation to make the Bible relevant to the respective cultures it comes into. This in my estimation is the biggest cause of heresy and false teaching. Those who are entrusted to stewards God's word bend it to fit their respective cultures instead of bending their cultures to fit the Bible. This I believe is the case with this subject of Generational Curses.
Now that we know this, how should we engage this matter in a biblical way. I will suggest that we be sympathetic, understanding, sensitive and patient (2 Timothy 4:2). There are people who hold to this teaching with a strong belief that they are rightly handling the word of God. They are victims of false teachers. Others are perpetrators, they know it is wrong and they stubbornly continue to teach it because it drives their agendas. I am more interested in helping the former and exposing the latter.
Let's examine one of the verses I mentioned above closely as a sample on how to handle this case biblically.
Exodus 20:5 (NIV)
You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me,
This verse is in the context of the Decalogue, which is a fancy word for the 10 Commandments. "Nothing in Exodus 20 is described as "commandment" or "law" or the like. To be sure, the words presented here by God do indeed command His people most solemnly to act in ways that are basic to His covenant, but their significance goes beyond that of routine "laws." What the chapter contains—in particular, the Ten "Words" (dĕbārı̂m)—is more like the content of a national constitution than merely the content of one section of codified law or another."[1]If I were to use the Kenyan legal corpus as an example, it will be the equivalent of the Kenyan Constitution – it is legally binding.
Verse 5 is the second commandment. The first commandment forbids the Israelites to have any other god apart from Yahweh. What it meant, was that even though there are many other "gods" in the visible and even in invisible universe (Psalm 82; John 10:34-36) God demands that only He be worshipped as the Sole Divine God! God's people who have seen His mighty deeds and have experienced His mighty salvation, if they turn their backs on God to worship other God's would be the highest level of betrayal. To do this would elicit stern and severe punishment, namely the eradication of persons responsible and those that come after them who would learn from them to worship other gods. God will not pardon the second-generation sinners because they are merely doing what they learned from their first-generation relatives.
This does not mean that sin is inherited through bloodline by birth[2], but it is inherited through learned rebellious behavior against God's will. God will not punish innocent generations for the sins of their ancestors. "Fathers shall not be put to death because of their children, nor shall children be put to death because of their fathers.Each one shall be put to death for his own sin." Deuteronomy 24:16 (ESV). See also 2 Kings 14:6.
I like Pastor James Muthee's treatment of Deuteronomy 28 in explaining how people apply it in light of Generation Curses (Below is a excerpt from the sermon notes preached at South Coast Community Church on November 11th 2018 ):
Most of these curses are derived from Deuteronomy 28. Some of these are
Emotional instability, fear
Deuteronomy 28:28The Lord will strike you with madness and blindness and confusion of mind,
Hereditary family sicknesses
Deuteronomy 28:21The Lord will make the pestilence stick to you until he has consumed you off the land that you are entering to take possession of it.
Chronic wounds
Deuteronomy 28:27The Lord will strike you with the boils of Egypt, and with tumors and scabs and itch, of which you cannot be healed.
Barrenness, impotence, female problems
Deuteronomy 28:18Cursed shall be the fruit of your womb and the fruit of your ground, the increase of your herds and the young of your flock.
Family breakdowns, divorce
Deuteronomy 28:30 You shall betroth a wife, but another man shall ravish her. You shall build a house, but you shall not dwell in it. You shall plant a vineyard, but you shall not enjoy its fruit.
Lack, poverty, inability to produce
Deuteronomy 28:17Cursed shall be your basket and your kneading bowl.
No ambition, vision, direction
Deuteronomy 28:29 and you shall grope at noonday, as the blind grope in darkness, and you shall not prosper in your ways. And you shall be only oppressed and robbed continually, and there shall be no one to help you.
Bondage and slavery
Deuteronomy 28:43-44 The sojourner who is among you shall rise higher and higher above you, and you shall come down lower and lower. 44 He shall lend to you, and you shall not lend to him. He shall be the head, and you shall be the tail.
It is not hard to see how most Africans who are already superstitious[4] by nature would embrace such teaching. The above interpretation of Deuteronomy 28 fits into the plausibility structures of how Africans think about, talk about and believe about curses. Superstition is a comforting shoulder to lean on when we are ignorant about a subject matter and cannot conclusively explain it.
If our only frame of reference is culture and experience and we are looking to the Bible to support our presuppositions, we will end up believing this false teaching. In our minds it is not false because it makes cultural sense.
Friends, brothers and sisters, if you are in Christ you can live your life free from fear that your ancestors' curses and misfortunes will follow you or are following you. God has a wonderful plan for your life and to accomplish it He sometimes not only allow bad things to happen to you but permits them as well. He does this for His glory. I understand that this can be a very confusing thing to wrap our heads around.
David Hume, the famous 18th-century philosopher, framed the issue as succinctly as anyone: "Is [God] willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is impotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent or mean. Is he both able and willing? Whence then is evil?" "The problem of evil is a very simple one to state. There is evil in the world; yet the world is said to be the creation of a good and omnipotent God. How is this possible? Surely a good, omnipotent God would have made a world free of evil of any kind."[5]This is a tension that we must learn to live, because if we don't, we can end up talking ourselves in to believing that God does not exist. "A God who is good and all-powerful cannot allow evil to exist, but evil does exist, therefore there is no good and all-powerful God."
Going back to the subject of Generational Curses, we have to know that the biggest curse that ever happened to any living human was the curse that Jesus Himself bore. In the Old Testament we read, "And if a man has committed a sin worthy of death, and he is put to death, and you hang him on a tree, his corpse shall not hang all night on the tree, but you shall surely bury him on the same day (for he who is hanged is accursed of God)"(Dt. 21:22-23). We have to remember that that Jesus committed no sin (Heb. 4:15; 1 Pet. 2:22), but somehow, He was cursed of God.
What does it mean that Jesus was cursed, Paul explains it in his letter to the Galatians, chapter 3. He says, everyone who does not keep the law of God perfectly, is "cursed" (Gal. 3:10). If this is the case then we are all cursed because no one could keep it perfectly (Rom. 3:10, 23). Therefore, we have to conclude that everyone is under the divine curse.
There is, however, another side to the picture. Christ "redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us" (Gal. 3:13). God through Jesus because He loves us so much stepped in and took our place. Jesus bore the force of God's curse. This was necessary to satisfy His divine justice — Rom. 3:26). So now in Christ we are set free from the curse of sin and He who the Son sets Free is Free indeed (John 8:36).
God's desire is not to curse His people but to bless His people! In Exodus 20:6 He contrasts what He would do to a rebellious generation with what he would do to an obedient one. In this verse we see God's real wish: "…showing love [HESED] to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments." Do you notice the contrast here? From 3 to 4 generation to a thousand. God's desire is to fill the earth with God worshippers and not with idol/god worshippers.
The biggest Curse that can befall a human being is not poverty, bareness, family breakdown, diseases etc. the biggest curse that can befall a human being is to reject the Life that God has given us in Jesus Christ and in turn be rejected and separated from God forever. The biggest blessing that a human being can get on this earth is not generations of wealth, kids, health, great marriages etc. (don't get me wrong these are good things and we should desire them). The biggest blessing that a human being can be part of in this life and the life to come is to accept and be accepted by God through the sacrifice of His son Jesus on the cross. This acceptance gives us the gift of Sonship (John 1:11-12) and an eternity with God our creator and father.
Now, I know that I may not have answered all your questions specifically, but I what I hope I have done is given you a framework on which you process this really difficult topic of Generational curses.

South Thames College launch inaugural Seva Project event in support of Mental Health Awareness
South Thames College hosted a series of workshops and classes promoting good mental health and well-being, staff and students worked in collaboration with expert practitioners to address various issues.
Seva is a Sanskrit word that describes the act of selfless love. Staff and Pupils worked with practitioners to provide a platform for discussions and opportunities, creating focus groups and mentor and support groups, with the aim to build an inclusive environment through positive discussion and action.
We ran a series of Workshops from 'Mental Health is Wealth' by Inside Out UK to a workshop on Yoga & Meditation practises to help improve Mental Health. Cricketer, Monty Panesar was also in attendance and participated in a Q&A with students, sharing his advice.
Level 1 Childcare Learners Host Employer Fair
Learners from Level 1 Childcare have hosted a very successful Employer Fair for local Early Years providers.
As part of the event, held at the South Thames College Wandsworth Campus, the learners hosted 10 local organisations, including Noddy's Nursery, Little Bees, and The Play People.
During the morning Childcare learners from Levels 1 to 3 were able to talk to the employers, and gain an understanding of the types of jobs available, and expectations of staff in them.
The event proved to be so successful that 5 learners have now been invited for job interviews with some of the different providers who attended.
Learners from the School of Health, Sport, Business, and Salon Services recently supported local charity Wandsworth Oasis with running their 30th anniversary production of Bizet's opera, 'Carmen'
The show took place at Wandsworth Civic Suite, and as part of the evening Health & Social Care learners hosted a stand in the refreshments area, providing information on the work of Wandsworth Oasis, and HIV/AIDS.
In addition to this, Business learners supported with events management, by helping to set-up the venue, act as Ambassadors, and manage the registration desk at the start of the evening.
Callum Kantounas, pictured below, – Level 3 Building Services Technician Apprentice has been put forward by WSP for the Mentor National Apprentice Award. This award is recognised by the Institute of Apprenticeships.
His employers and the college have completed the application showing how he has worked above and beyond. Callum has also had to put together a portfolio of work that he is doing in the workplace and to show he is up to the standards required.
Many of our students use their new found skills to generate income and set up in business or as freelances.
Francoise, pictured below, sold her first piece at this year's Merton Art's Festival. She has attended our glass making course, building up her skills, making supportive friends and growing in confidence, and has found a welcome additional source of income.
Barista Training from South Thames College Apprenticeship Students live at the Civic Centre
The South Thames College Business Centre represented the College Group at the Wandsworth Employment Fair held at the Wandsworth Civic Centre and were given the stage for an hour to present and demonstrate Barista skills.
The presentation, which covered the skills and knowledge required to become a Barista was given by one of our Level 3 Hospitality apprentices from Putney Pantry, together with one of our Trainers. The event was well attended and the presentation was reported Live on Riverside Radio.
Espressos, Cappucinos and Lattes were flowing; all with impressive art work.
Pamela Hurley, one of the Partnership Managers based at the Tooting Business Centre, and Sarah Horrell represented the Group at the Sutton Business Awards which took place at the Holiday Inn Hotel in Sutton on Friday the 14th June.
The Business Centre sponsored the Award for Training and Development and both Pam and Sarah were invited to greet the winners, Stage Coach Performing Arts, to say a few words and present the award, on behalf of the South Thames Colleges Group.

Written by: Dr. Askari on April 27, 2011 @ 8:27 am
In light of Oral Cancer Awareness Month, celebrities have brightened their smiles and improved their health by kicking the tobacco habit. Here's how and why some stars finally gave up their tobacco habits.
Catherine-Zeta Jones: The award winning actress and wife to Michael Douglas began smoking as a teenager. She decided to quit because of her fear of that secondhand smoke would harm her children.
Kelly Ripa: This co-host of Live With Regis and Kelly revealed that she was a closet smoker. She had quit prior to having her children and then started smoking again while shooting Hope and Faith. Ripa put down the cigarettes a second time after encouragement from her co-star, Faith Ford, and took up exercise instead.
Matt Damon: The star of the Bourne movie triology realized it was time to quit when he looked at the consequences of what smoking can do to you. He quit smoking with the help of a hypnotist.
Anthony Hopkins: This star of The Silence of the Lambs officially dropped the habit decades ago, but still struggles with random cravings. When he feels a craving coming on, he picks up Allen Carr's The Easy Way to Stop Smoking to reinforce his reasons for quitting.
Jennifer Aniston: This Friends star was a self-professed chain smoker for years. In 2007, she did an extreme detox to cleanse her system and added yoga to her daily routines. Not only was she able to give up cigarettes, but caffeine as well.
Jon Daly: This Comedy Central star started smoking when he was 15 years old. In 2000, he finally gave up cigarettes and replaced them with chewing gum.
Over 7,500 people die annually from oral cancer. Studies show that tobacco use is the number-one cause of oral cancer. If you are a tobacco user and have not had an oral cancer screening, contact Dr. Aziza Askari of Comfort Dental Spa at (248)566-6490 to schedule an appointment.

Lucid Energy, a Portland, OR-based hydrokinetics start-up company, has pioneered what it calls a "water-to-wire energy recovery solution" that allows large, gravity-fed pipes to moonlight as electric power plants.
The LucidPipe Power System produces electric power from an in-pipe turbine that harvests energy from the flow of water inside large gravity-fed pipes. By extracting excess head pressure, the turbines are not supposed to impede the the flow of water. A single turbine can produce as much as 100 kilowatts of electricity. Fully-loaded with a series of LucidPipe Power turbines, a single pipeline can produce more than a megawatt of electricity at a levelized cost between five to nine cents per kilowatt-hour.
Per Lucid Energy's website:
LucidPipe utilizes a unique, lift-based, vertical axis spherical turbine that fits inside of large diameter (24"-96") water pipes. Water flows through the hydrodynamic turbine, generating power as the turbine spins. The hydrodynamic turbine has been carefully designed and lab-tested to maximize efficiency and power generation without interrupting the flow of water. As velocities increase, power production increases. Due to the lift-based design of LucidPipe, the system generates power across a very wide range of flow conditions, volumes and velocities.
Over the past two years, Lucid Energy has piloted the in-pipe turbines in water pipelines at the Western Municipal Water District in Riverside, California. The pilot produced more than 20 megawatt hours of electricity. Riverside Public Utilities plans to deploy a permanent system in Riverside later this year.
The turbines cost between $3,000 and $5,000 per kW.
Lucid Energy, which has received more than $4 million in funding over the past four years, including more than $1 million from the U.S. Department of Energy, is targeting water-intensive industrial, municipal and agricultural facilities as early adopters for the water-to-wire technology.

I have seen this for the very first time. It looks pretty impressive. I am agree with the concept of substituting ingredients. I will prepare such olive using Indian Food Recepies and share with friends.
I would never have thought to try something like this, but it looks so good! I've been cooking with different olive types and trying out different oil recipes. Maybe I'll put baking with them next on the list!
I do like traditional sables, but with the olives they were something very special. I will definitely make this recipe again.
Your meanderings (meaning, your writing) in your Posts just keeps getting better and better. Just enjoyed reading the first paragraph. Didn't like David's seaweed sébles but loved these. And, you're right, just like the loaf cake, we can go all different ways with this mixture. It's that good. But, of course, you know me, I have to wait until the rest of you more creative adventurers give me suggestions. The only improvements/changes I had in mind, per Mardi are oilier olives and sea salt topping. So, thank you for yours. I think you sliced yours bigger than I did and I love the looks of yours. Like you, I cannot wait to make these again.
Great post!! I loved your photo of the cookies before they were baked. As per my post, I cannot figure out how to make the darn things round when shaping them and your photo gave a great tip. Also, your idea of not going into a store while watching your calories is a great one. I need to get on that bus!
These looks so good!! Great pictures! I like the substitute of cornstarch for potato starch.
This looks delicious, as I was reading your blog I needed a bite, YUUUM!
THese do look ridiculously good. At first I don't know if they were a dessert or an appetizer, and now I think I could use them either way! ~ David
Not so hard to make, right? My son and I are the only ones at home that enjoy eating olives, so this could be just for both of us.
Pierre Herme is the man. love it.
Hey - a stand mixer is one bowl too 😉 Your cookies look great and your dough is perfect- I am still trying to figure out what I did wrong with mine. I still preferred the seaweed sablés we made earlier though...
Lovely shortbread! I think with a glass of white wine would taste just perfect 🙂

|Life is much simpler in Flow Chart format... illustration from the brilliant XKCD
When life is very complicated I tend to become quite stressed. When I become stressed, my pain usually gets worse. A good way for me to prevent this from spiraling, is to sit down and start pruning away non-necessities.
These days I've been pretty strung out, with the book launch, new blog project and big move all at the same time, healthier people than I would have trouble. I'm hanging in there, sort of... but the problem is, I'm spending energy I need in order to make it through the winter. So I need to cut back and prioritize quite harshly in order to take care of myself.
When I'm really tired, even the simplest tasks seem completely impossible and my mind is muddled with endless lists... If I catch myself falling into that "I have to do EVERYTHING and I have to do it NOW!" frenzy, I sit down and make a mind map with all the things worrying me. When I get them down on paper, they're usually not as many or as urgent as I think. So I check which of them I really need to do something about, and which of them I really need to do something about today. At that point I'm usually left with only one or two things, and it's all quite manageable...

In the heat of the dot-com bubble, a few of my friends opened brokerage accounts and started trading. Listening to their exploits, I realized that I had no idea what they were talking about.
So I went to the library, and by complete chance (quite fittingly!) picked up Burton Malkiel's "A Random Walk Down Wall Street". I loved the book. In the book, Malkiel lays out a compelling case for why both technical and fundamental analysis don't work.
Over the next year or so, I devoured all the "general investing" and personal finance books (Bogle, Lynch, Solin etc.) in the library. I became convinced that indexing was the best way to go. I still believe in the virtues of low-cost index funds, and nearly all my retirement money is parked that way.
However, I am getting ahead of myself.
Along the way, I read Warren Buffett's essay "The Superinvestors of Graham and Doddsville". It planted some initial seeds of doubt. If a group of investors belonging to a certain cult materially outperformed the indexes over long periods of time, there had to be more to the story than "random walks". After reading "Contrarian Investment Strategies" by David Dreman, I began understanding the psychological and structural underpinnings that made value investing work.
As an experiment, in 2001, I took all of my savings and split them into two unequal parts. The large part ($5000), I stuck into a Vanguard index fund. The smaller part ($2500), I put into three individual stocks.
That was roughly in proportion to my belief in the logic of indexing and value investing.
Then I went to get my PhD, find a wife, and land a job.
In 2008, initial rumblings of the Great Recession were audible. I have a natural contrarian streak, which springs up from slumber when things get bad. Once again, I stuck in all of our discretionary savings into the stock market, and some high-quality stocks (Berkshire).
Seth Klarman once said:
Value investing is at its core the marriage of a contrarian streak and a calculator.
I was born with one part (the contrarian streak). In 2008-2009, you did not need a calculator!
I lucked out. The Great Recession was good to me. Unfortunately, not as good as it could have been, if I had been more prepared. Since 2009, I've been spending about an hour or so, casually reading books, forums, and blogs on value investing.
I've also amassed a motley bunch of stocks in my portfolio. Some have worked out; some haven't. Overall, I've done modestly better (~1%) than S&P since 2007. This is surprising, since I have made lots of mistakes – both of commission and omission. I will happily admit that I've been lucky – all my positions were based on reading somebody else's analysis, and then performing some superficial "due diligence".
My "critical" analytical contribution has been minimal.
The one thing that I've had going for me is my innate psychological ability to get excited when things are bad, and endure short term pain.
Short-term masochism, for long term hedonism. Haha!
In summer 2016, I resolved I was going to work on the "calculator" part of Seth Klarman's equation more seriously.
Thus far, I have only been a consumer of other people's valuations. I thought I could buy stocks like I buy items on Amazon. Read enough reviews, and you get a reasonable idea of what you should buy.
Now, I am going to try to learn how to do valuations, all by myself.
This blog is my notebook.

But you better do it before Barack's new HUD rules turn every small community into little Chicagos.
Gruntington Post [Pentwater, Michigan] – Due to the overwhelming gloom that seemed to be gripping Americans around the normally happy time of the 4th of July week, the staff here at the Gruntington Post took it upon themselves to travel to the north woods in the Great Lakes region to find remnants of a cheerful America. Of course, we had to purposely avoid vast areas of the lake country that are infested with Democrats, like the entire State of Minnesota. Luckily, there are still lake beach communities around Lake Michigan that are majority Republican (and hence, happy, prosperous places) because they are populated by conservative refugees from the cities of Detroit and Chicago and Green Bay.
We ended up in the small coastal town of Pentwater, Michigan, mainly because that's where we blew out a clutch on the Gruntmobile. Unfortunately, getting your 15 year old Toyota Corolla repaired in the lower peninsula of Michigan is not always a friendly experience, this still being Ford, Dodge and Chevy country, after all.
Still, it only goes to show you the lengths of sacrifice that we are willing to accept in order to bring the real story to our readers. As you can see in the photo below of the deck at Gull Landing on Pentwater Harbor, we spent our downtime vigorously researching the local culture. We left no local blues band unheard, no fried walleye platter uneaten and no extra-tall mojito undrunk in the service of our readers.
Also, we faced considerable danger on a daily basis from the freshwater sharks that infest the waters of Lake Michigan. This was necessary to experience the local flora and fauna and the unique character of the local brews that the natives there carry onto the beaches in rectangular boxes called "coolers." We found it all very intoxicating.
After a while, all we could do is lay on the beach and stare up at the sky at the clouds. I obsessed on this cloud for a while(below) because it looked, to me, like a T-bone steak. But that might have been the beer toxicity kicking in.
We noticed that the locals along this part of the freshwater coast do a lot of boating in a variety of watercraft. Many keep fit paddling long indian boats that the locals call "canoes" or "kayaks," like the guy in the center of the photo below, and we did a fair amount of that, ourselves, until it became obvious that it was a lot of work. A few mojitos later, and that pain was all a distant memory.
And what of the local politics? We spent some time talking to locals, especially the mechanic who fixes all the local vehicles in town, it being too isolated here to have any large garages or dealerships. Bruce and Nancy Maynard run their 3-bay auto shop at the edge of Pentwater, and they were good enough to take on our clutch job, even though it meant working the Saturday after the 4th to get us back on the road. Bruce is an amazing master mechanic, a Vietnam veteran and a brilliant raconteur who spent 20 years running a shop near Aspen Colorado and worked on all the vehicles of the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band while he was there. He had the Colorado license plate and other paraphernalia on the wall of his shop to prove it. He also took very good care of us.
I expected the area to be Mitt Romney country, and for it to be possibly hostile to Trump for that reason. According to Bruce, that probably isn't true at all. He seemed to think there was a lot of openness to Trump as a candidate, and there was especially an enormous amount of hostility toward Hillary Clinton. That was music to my ears, as you can imagine.
The conclusion? Small town America still rocks in the month of July. It's good for the soul. You should give it a try, if only for a week. The rental rates in this part of the Great Lakes were surprisingly low, I thought, and were certainly much lower than comparable places in Florida, Gulf Coast or Mexico.

HORNELL — To lift American spirits, wine was on the menu in Hornell.
This week, The Brute: A Finger Lakes Focused Wine Bar opened its doors and asked patrons to open their hearts and wallets for a good cause.
In the aftermath of Sunday's mass shooting in Las Vegas, which was labeled the worst in American history, leaving 59 dead and more than 500 wounded, individuals, businesses and organizations have responded.
Inspired by the establishment of a fund by the Clark County Executive Steve Sisolak, which quickly topped a $10 million goal, The Brute's owner Justin Recktenwald wanted to help.
"We have a great venue and the ability to showcase something incredibly positive, so why wouldn't we?" Recktenwald said.
The venue in the heart of Hornell's Main Street, usually open Thursday through Saturday, opened a day early for the special "Standing Together" event.
One hundred percent of tips and a dollar from every drink poured went directly to the cause.
Musical entertainment was provided by Luke Gardner and Josh Wightman, who played a variety of new and old country tunes, as well as a few of their own original songs. Their services were also donated.
Upon hearing the news on Monday morning, Recktenwald had the same feelings most people did, no gesture was too small. Around the country, endeavors as small as bake sales and lemonade stands have aided the fund for Las Vegas.
"Every small business owner around here and 99 percent of our customers are all involved in some kind of charitable events or organizations," he said. "In small towns we come together during horrific events and we've had one after the other lately."
The shooting came on the heels of several powerful hurricanes making landfall in the U.S. and its territories in the past month. Additionally, political tensions have been high in Washington.
"I wanted to take minds off all the divisiveness in our country lately," Recktenwald said.
By the end of the night, $1,200 was raised.
An update posted by Sisolak to the Go Fund Me page he started thanked all Americans for doing their part.
"Our community is grateful for the outpouring of support from folks all across the nation and all around the world. Tens of thousands of people have made their voices heard and are standing up to hate and standing together to support the victims and their families during this difficult time. We want to thank you for your generous contributions," it said.

She now wants this loser slave to lay down on her back just to lick the dirty bottom of her shoes! She would love to have them nice and clean to party tonight so why not use this loser slave at her feet? She makes him stick his tongue out to lick the bottom of her shoes and takes one of her shoe off just to give him a whiff of the inside! That was a very long day with her shoes on so she also takes them off to smother his face with her smelly bare feet! She was bare feet all day long in her shoes so they are now ultra sweaty for this bitch slave! She makes him sniff them hard and lick that sweat at the bottom of her precious soles! Sophia also wants him to stick his tongue out again just to suck and lick all the dirt in between each of her toes! What a Bratty Chic!

WASHINGTON (CBS4) – The weekend holiday could bring a decision on a program that allowed undocumented immigrants brought to the United States as children to stay and work in the country.
The kids are known as DREAMers after the DREAM Act.
President Donald Trump is reportedly close to announcing whether or not to keep the Obama-era program.
Colorado Republican Representative Mike Coffman says he's called on Congress to extend the DACA program.
"It's to force a vote in the House for a bill that I introduced in January, a bipartisan bill, called the Bridge Act, that essentially puts DACA into law to take care of the Constitutional problems and extend it for a three year period."
That vote is expected to happen Tuesday.
Coffman believes it has enough support to pass.
Attorneys General from ten states are preparing to sue if President Trump doesn't roll back DACA on the grounds that President Barack Obama overstepped his authority.
They've already won a similar lawsuit.
The White House says President Trump could make his decision any time over the holiday weekend.
Some Colorado DREAMers are planning a school walkout on Tuesday as a show of solidarity.

How To Purchase Ikeja Electric Token
Background information about IKEDC, address and customer care contact
The Ikeja Electricity Distribution Company (IKEDC) is a public liability company and one of the 11 major electricity distribution companies or DISCOs with the license to generate, distribute, and market electricity to households in Lagos mainland. IKEDC service areas include Abule-Egba, Ikeja, Akowonjo, Ikorodu, Shomolu, and Oshodi.
IKEDC head office is situated at Obafemi Awolowo Way, Alausa, Ikeja, Lagos
Customer Careline:01-7000-250, 0908-794-0825
In this guide, you are going to learn the various ways by which you can generate Ikeja Electric meter token and get your prepaid meter credited successfully.
The 2 basic ways to generate prepaid IKEDC meter token
- By using smart meter card code
- By recharging online using a smart device (e.g. Android, iPhone or Laptop)
Generating Ikeja Electric tokens using smart meter card code
The steps involved in generating IKEDC prepaid token through smart meter is highlighted below:
- Visit any of the disco offices close to you with your smart meter card.
- Present your smart card to them. (This card also contain your meter number)
- Request and pay for the credits you can afford.
- You would be given a slip containing a 20-digit code (which is your prepaid token) and a receipt as proof of successful payment.
- Go to your prepaid meter and enter the token which is the 20 digit code, through the UIU Keyboard correctly on the LCD screen.
- If you enter the token correctly, the screen will display "ACCEPT" which means that you have successfully recharged your prepaid meter. If the screen displays "REJECT", this means the code was not accepted probably due to error while entering the meter codes and the recharge FAILED.
As you can see, this process requires you to always visit the business centers of the electricity distribution companies around you with your meter card. However, another alternative you have is to recharge online. Buying prepaid meter token online is easier, faster and more convenient.
Generating IKEDC token online using any internet-enabled device
You can always recharge your Ikeja Electric prepaid meter online anytime and anywhere you want with nepa.ng. You do not even need to leave your current location at all as the platform allows you to enjoy simple and fast payment for your electricity bill right where you are.
You can buy your Ikeja Electric token with these few steps listed below:

2. Here, you'd see different DISCOs listed on the platform. Click on the Ikeja Electricity Distribution Company and enter necessary details such as meter number, phone number, email, and the number of electricity units you want to buy then click the "submit" button.
3. Review and confirm your order summary, then select your preferred mode of payment (i.e. Bank transfer or via credit card) and enter your card details appropriately.
4. The system accepts your payment details if entered correctly and then takes you to the final page which shows you that your order has been confirmed. Your token is sent to your mobile number and email address immediately.
Enter this token correctly on your Ikeja prepaid meter, then you have the electric prepaid meter credited automatically.
The process is a very easy one. It saves you time, energy and cost of transportation to the nearest bank or electricity distribution company.
I hope this helps someone out there.

Jakob Nielsens list of Web-Design Mistakes for 2002 is the usual Nielsen read. Some useful points for any web designer. I did get a little chuckle with point #5 (Blocks of Text). It seemed to contradict what he does on useit.com.
Jakob Nielsens list of Web-Design Mistakes for 2002 is the usual Nielsen read. Some useful points for any web designer. I did get a little chuckle with point #5 (Blocks of Text). It seemed to contradict what he does on useit.com.
Keep in mind that Nielsen tends to focus on a very narrow field of web sites...namely commercial web sites, and often specifically commercial ecommerce web sites.
So take his advice in that context.On Jan.21.2003 at 03:45 PM
Here is a question, how seriously is this guy taken by web designers? There are times when his articles or writings seem like bad April Fool's jokes. He seems to know a lot, though. I'll be honest, I hadn't heard of the guy untill 3-4 months ago.On Jan.21.2003 at 03:55 PM
A lot of what Nielsen has to say is common sense. He just takes things too far to one side of the spectrum. Nielsen is good at pissing designers off with his "I know all" attitude. I find he really discredits the science of visual communication and doesn't give us enough credit. Not everyone on the net is a 60 year old Luddite.On Jan.21.2003 at 04:26 PM
How seriously is he taken by web designers? Too seriously!On Jan.21.2003 at 05:11 PM
He has to be respected by the mere fact that clients listen to him.
He tends to oversimplify issues, but that's what sells. That's what is easily digested by CEOs who ultimately make the go/no-go decisions and writes the check for the vendor, so it's important that web developers at least listen to Nielsen.
"Nielsen is good at pissing designers off with his "I know all" attitude."
I've found that the visual designers that are most pissed at his rants are those that debate whether or not the type on a web site should be set at 8px or not. In otherwords, most designers with some understanding of basic accessibility and usability issues don't tend to get overly upset with his common-sense comments.
Like I said, though, Nielsen tends to speak about a very narrow niche of sites. His comments are appropriate for that niche, and only tangentally appropriate for any other type of site.On Jan.21.2003 at 05:32 PM
My parents used to work with and sit on panels with Jakob. A lot of what he says today, he's been saying for many years, so they tell me.
As Darrel mentions, he oversimplifies a lot and in deeper discussions in information design, like on the SIGIA lists, he rarely comes up.
What he has done, as is also mentioned, is bring a lot of credibility to the field of usability and allowed information designers to piggyback on that, when it used to be incredibly difficult to educate large clients on the purpose of it.
Being published as well as his newsletters, help to bring about points that may not have a chance to be brought into the mainstream, and even though a lot of it may be common sense to the average interactive designer, a lot of it is still not being employed. Other books published, like the Design of Everyday Things, might seem relatively obvious, but for some they're innovative - and still, today.
He still remains to be very antagonistic, and a bully. My Dad said he saw a panel with Clement Mok and Kajob Nielsen on together, which I would have liked to have seen.
On a side note, whenever I do web concepts that need a photograph of a "corporate ugly mug shot" I usually use one of Nielsen's that you can download off of his site. It always freaks the client out - prompts a question as to who the hell he is, and I get a small chuckle.On Jan.21.2003 at 06:13 PM
> Kajob Nielsen
I'm proposing that he now be called - Kajob.
Sorry for that blatant error.On Jan.21.2003 at 08:07 PM
Just about everyone I've ever come across tends to hate Jakob. For usability info, I prefer WebWord. Often, the actual concepts aren't all that different, but they don't take on such a high and mighty tone.On Jan.21.2003 at 08:26 PM
Of course, those that find Nielson high-and-mighty tend to be high-and-mighty graphic designers ;o)On Jan.21.2003 at 10:06 PM
I agree with SU, I get frustrated at the way he makes sweeping rationalizations too — like there's only one kind of site out there and they should all follow his guidelines.On Jan.24.2003 at 12:33 AM
I see it like this. Try to get to know as much about the psycho / demographic target, hard/software statistics and the brand vision of the project. From there you can make an educated rationalization on where you can take it.
Categorizing "Corporate" as one classification is wrong. The corporate culture and attitudes from say Citibank and the target that uses their website can be entirely different than that of the corporate attitude and the people who surf Ikea (granted there is a crossover).
Digital design for corporate clientele doesn't always have to be boring. It's like saying; All print material - in order to be read most clearly by most people - have to be formatted like a dictionary... set in 20 pt. Arial.On Jan.24.2003 at 08:38 AM
Digital design for corporate clientele doesn't always have to be boring.
Who said it has to be boring? Nielsen emphasizes usability.On Jan.24.2003 at 09:28 AM

I don't know much about Whitney K. It appears to be an outlet for BC's Konner Whitney to indulge his more Dylan-esque songwriting tendencies. He may or may not also be an associate of fellow Vancouverite Patrick Flegel (he of Cindy Lee and Androgynous Mind fame, among other projects you may have heard of). I assume they spend most of their hypothetical time together reminiscing about the Grizzlies.
"Ode to the Old Ways" lurches along, like a Blood on the Tracks session played back at half speed. Then the bridge hits and transports the whole song to the East Village circa 1977 before stumbling back to the old dirt road it drove in on.

Is Pope Francis a Heretic?
Source: First Things
By Thomas Weinandy, O.F.M. Cap.
Nineteen theologians and academics recently released a letter to all Catholic bishops throughout the world, accusing Pope Francis of being a heretic and urging the bishops to take action, even canonical, in order to rectify this dire state of affairs.
There is no need to repeat the concerns expressed within that letter. They are well known, and have already been critiqued by many theologians, academics, priests, bishops, and even cardinals. What makes this open letter unique is its formal charge of heresy. This is an extreme position to take, as the authors themselves admit, but they believe that, given the critical situation that has developed in the Church, such a position is merited.
Undoubtedly, many of the statements Pope Francis has made are ambiguous, and therefore troubling—for they can be interpreted in both an orthodox and a heterodox manner. What is most disconcerting is that erroneous interpretations, those contrary to the Church's doctrinal and moral tradition, are often propounded by bishops and cardinals—those who want to implement misguided teaching within their dioceses and urge that they become the norm within their national jurisdictions.
In view of this, many of the concerns addressed in the open letter are valid, some more than others. However, the fact that Pope Francis articulates these positions in an ambiguous manner makes it almost impossible to accuse him rightly of heresy. (This is, in a sense, a saving grace.) Those who interpret his ambiguous teaching in a manner not in keeping with the Catholic faith may be heretical, but the pope is not, even if the pope appears to give silent approval to their erroneous interpretations. Thus, I think that the letter's authors have gone beyond what is objectively warranted. Yes, there are grave concerns and important doctrinal and moral issues at stake—ultimately the truth of the gospel itself. But the manner in which they were presented, the conclusions drawn, and the actions proposed will not help rectify the present crisis within the Church. Actually, the open letter makes it more difficult for others to appropriately critique the ongoing doctrinal and moral chaos within the Church, a disorder that will continue to intensify as this pontificate progresses.
Why do I say that? First, let me speak of the bishops to whom the letter is addressed. Yes, it is disheartening, especially for the laity, that the bishops do not speak out more forthrightly in defense of the Church's authentic doctrinal and moral tradition. Yet, if bishops do maintain the integrity of the gospel within their own dioceses, this in itself is a major achievement, given today's oppressive and fearful ecclesial atmosphere. Their silence, then, may be a guarded expression of their displeasure with the present pontificate.

Rally Co-ordinator Anthony Wallace responds to Melbourne Metaxas Meltdown and describes the events of the night
I have been the rally coordinator and campaign manager for Equal Love for 7 years and I am upset that our action last night saw the 1st arrest and the deployment of capsicum spray.
Equal Love have been campaigning for Marriage Equality since the amendment to the Marriage Act under the Howard Government which set out to specifically deny the right of same sexed couples to protect their relationship and assets through the legal entity of marriage.
Our rallies have grown dramatically in numbers and support and we now have come to expect many families and young people to be in attendance and always announce our actions as being a safe space for such people.
Our motivation to facilitate last night's protest was to oppose the agenda of the ACL. The ACL have placed themselves as the biggest and most vocal opponents of Marriage Equality in Australia. We recognise that they are only a small group but they are heavily funded with 14 staff on the payroll nationally and strong ties to the political right.
It has also been investigated that of all the issues that the ACL should be addressing, they have issued more than 120 press releases in a 6 month period opposing LGBTIQ rights and freedoms. In stark contrast the next highest number of press releases issued from the ACL in the same period, with a little over 20 was on human trafficking.
It is clear without a shadow of a doubt that the ACL exist purely to oppose equality for LGBTIQ people. They along with the Government of the day are our suppressors and therefore we will do all we can to call out their bigotry and do what we can to shut down their hate speech.
Last night we gathered at Scots Church on Collins st for a peaceful but very vocal demonstration against the ACL's agenda and against their decision to fly in the polarising American Christian who has equated Gay Rights as the new Nazi movement, Eric Metaxas.
Eric Metaxas has written books opposing Marriage Equality and is campaigning in the US to reverse the supreme court decision. He is also fuelling debate in the States regarding Trans people and pushing for them to not be permitted to use amenities of the gender they identify.
We formed a path along the pavement and commenced chants and heard from speakers. Numbers began to grow and it was clear that a small fringe group was forming. They stood out as never in my history have I seen people at our rallies cover their faces in what appeared to be their preparations of things getting violent.
Equal Love are opposed to people being pushed to the ground, spat on or denied their right of passage. Though we would always hope that people would hear and see the damage their organisation does and decide to turn around and not support such an event.
This isolated group formed a human chain which then prevented the bigots from entering their event at which point police then started to push and disperse some of our contingent. Things calmed for a while before someone, believed to be a Rise Up member arrived, which caused the masked bandits to charge at him and a scuffle erupted on the street where police deployed capsicum spray and two men were then arrested and handcuffed.
A scuffle broke out

Star Wars: The Last Jedi.
Two years ago Star Wars roared back into the collective consciousness of the world as The Force Awakens dawned a new era for the saga. The installment left many viewers speechless and eagerly anticipating this return to a galaxy far, far away. Luckily in this era of Disney's rule, the wait was only 2 years (with a nice side of Rogue One in the middle) for Rian Johnson's addition.
In this episode of The 602 Club host Matthew Rushing is joined by Jedi Council members Bruce Gibson and John Mills to talk about Star Wars: The Last Jedi. We discuss context and history, writing 101, the characters, the "chase", almost death, Crait and Luke battle, lost hope, humor, music, ships and our ratings.

10 Practical Automotive, Ballast Wiring Diagram Ideas
Related photos in this diagram:
Other recommended diagram ideas:
Automotive, Ballast Wiring Diagram - As mentioned on the issues web page, hid bulbs are arc lamps that run a hard and fast current through electrodes in a sealed quartz tablet. The voltage drop is ready ~85v after ignition (20kv) and warmup. Like any arc lamp, electrons bounce off the negative (-) electrode, and impact the tremendous ( ) electrode, causing the ( ) aspect to run hotter and wear out quicker. To counter this impact, all oem ballasts and most aftermarket designs ship ac contemporary to the electrodes, alternating every electrode among ( ) and (-), so that each electrodes wear calmly.
It is beneficial for some vehicles to use a relay harness when installing an concealed conversion package. From time to time in case your vehicle has a low voltage difficulty, drl or a canbus trouble the relay harness will bypass the manufacturing unit wiring and pull power straight from the battery. Also the usage of a relay harness for your concealed installation is a good way to decrease the warm-up time of your bulbs.
A lighting fixtures relay harness is most usually used in aftermarket hid conversion kits to pass the manufacturing unit wiring with a purpose to get around complicated digital manage structures or to allow a better rate of present day to be added to the bulbs. A relay wiring harness makes use of a 30amp fuse blanketed energy cord that at once connects to your effective terminal at the battery. An automobile relay is used to tug signal from a supply (headlight connector) that triggers power to be drawn from the battery. There are two units of cables intended to offer power to an concealed ballast. There also are separate floor wire terminals that need to be connected to the chassis to finish the electric circuit. As previously stated, this product is maximum generally determined used in aftermarket xenon retrofits but also can be useful when trying to get the most mild output from aftermarket or oem halogen/incandescent mild bulbs. Any lights machine can advantage from accelerated modern capacity within the wiring. Gtr lighting offers a wide array of plug and play relay twine harnesses for h7, h8, h9, h10, h11, h13, 9004, 9005, 9006, 9007 and more.

Tomato Nutrition Data: Everyone knows the health benefits of juicy, sweet tomato. Do you know it can also help you get gorgeous skin?
Why rely on expensive for salon treatments or the beauty products when you can get the same results at a fraction of the cost? How, you might ask? By checking what's inside your fridge.
The ordinary tomato vegetable is a treasure trove of beauty ingredients just waiting to tap.
7 Reasons for Tomato Why It Is Great For Your Skin & Face
7 Top Amazing Tomato Benefits For Your Healthy Skin
1. Shrink pores:
Tomato juice will work as an excellent astringent. Mix atleast one spoonful of the tomato juice with 4-5 drops of the lemon juice and then apply on your face. Rinse with the lukewarm water to shrink open pores.
2. Fight acne:
Among other benefits of tomato for the skin can include its ability to fight acne. Apply a mashed tomato all over your face. Wash it off after an hour and then apply a good moisturizer. With these regular use, you will notice a reduction in your acne.
3. Remove blackheads:
scrub with the slices of tomato for blackhead affected areas which can help you to cure your skin of this annoying problem.
4. Cut out the oil:
Oily skin? No more. Blend with tomato piece into juice and cucumber, and apply it on your face using a cotton ball. Done regularly, this will reduce facial oil secretion.
5. Remove tan:
Back from a sunny vacation and then want to remove that tan? Cover your entire face with the pulp of a mashed tomato and then wash it off with cold water after 15 minutes. If you are in a rush, add at least two tablespoons of milk to the mashed tomato and wash off after 5 minutes with Olay Moisture Balance Foaming Face Wash with the Vitamin E.
6. Freshen skin:
Dull, irritated or sunburnt skin can be repaired with curd and then tomato face mask. Apply this mixture to your entire face and let it sit for a minimum 20 minutes before washing it off with the lukewarm water. Curd nourishes with the protein while the tomato will cool the skin.
7. Get fairer skin:
A juice of tomato and then the honey can give you a more equitable and get more glowing complexion. Banish dull and then drab the surface with this magical blend.

1. If you have a combination of skin, you can make a cleansing mask using tomato juice and avocado pulp. Your skin is to hydrate with the avocado, and the tomato does the job of an astringent.
2. Rejuvenate the oily skin with the refreshing combination of the tomato and with cucumber. The natural astringent of properties needed to soak up the oil and can prevent the skin from dehydrating too much.
3. The moisturizing property of the olive oil combines with the tomato for a face with only dry skin, leaving it soft and then supply.

Little Burrito is one of the rarest cats in the world
by Robert Hudson
Little Burrito is a healthy little kitty, full of energy and fearless curiosity. Burrito is a very special kitty that many people have never seen before. What makes Burrito so special? Burrito is a BOY.
You see Burrito is what is known as a tortoiseshell, a genetic mutation that combines two colors: black/brown and orange- in many different shades. The same condition may also include white which some people refer to as Calicos. They are almost always female. That is because brown and orange fur color in cats is usually determined by the female pair of X chromosomes. A male "tortie" essentially has both the X chromosomes of a female and the Y chromosome of a male. Males in many species are usually born with an X and Y chromosome, while females are born with two X chromosomes.
A male tortoiseshell cat, born with brown and orange fur, occurs in 1 in 3,000 births. A male tortie is almost always sterile and unable to breed. When one is born, it is a genetic anomaly.
Burrito was found abandoned along with his littermates and brought to Dr. Erin Henry at the Animal Welfare Association in Voorhees, New Jersey.
"When I turned little Burrito over I was so surprised," Henry said. "I've examined thousands of kittens while working at AWA and they are so rare that he may be the only male tortoiseshell I'll ever see again."
No two Torties or Calicos look a like. The color combinations seem to be random with no well defined common pattern. Variations can be very dark browns and black with only hints of orange or white, or blotches/patches of colors, or a combination of light, rather washed out colors with just a few spots of bold colors.
All domestic breeds and mix breed domestics can have this abnormality- long hair, short hair… If a cat has a coat of hair, it may be born with this! Sorry hairless cats!
Cat writer Ingrid King and author of the book 'Tortitude' describes Torties:
"Tortoiseshell cats have very few or no white markings, as opposed to calicos, who are tri-colored cats with larger areas of white fur. Sometimes, the colors are more muted. These torties are known as dilute torties. Very dark torties with a lot of black in their fur are often affectionately called "chocolate torties." Occasionally, the typical tortoiseshell colors are also seen in a tabby (striped) pattern; these cats are referred to as "torbies." Tortoiseshell markings appear in many different breeds".
She also states that Torties and Calicos are "fiercely independent, feisty and unpredictable. They're usually very talkative and make their presence and needs known with anything from a hiss to a meow to a strong purr."
Burrito will not be able to Father children, but he will fit right in to a loving home that wants a cat with swagger!
