Chapter 942: Bringing Henggong Fish Under Control
Translator: Law Editor: Hitesh
"Not this way, my friend!"
Henggong fish attempted to run, and Man Man, Shaosi, Feng Xing and Yu Mu didn't manage to stop him timely. Nevertheless, Gui Ling swiftly darted up and showed up before Henggong fish's face. The black ruyi held in her left hand transformed into a dark cloud, heavily smashing on Henggong fish's head.
A thunderous bang and a dazzling puff of fire sparkle were generated. Gui Ling's violent attack didn't do any harm to Henggong fish, yet the strong impact force disabled him from steadying his body. It made him fall down from that fiery cloud, then take tens of heavy steps backward in a row.
Gui Ling's eyes shone with a cold light as she chuckled and said, "My friend, what happened back then, we can finish it today."
Henggong fish raised his head. Along with a series of creaking noise, glowing-red scales grew out from his skin while his head turned into a hideous fishhead. Soon, Henggong fish transformed into a giant, red fish, standing on the ground like a man.
With his brightly sparkling eyes, the fish stared at Gui Ling for quite a while, then abruptly burst with an angry shout, "You! You evil woman! Back then, you forced me to guard your place and be your mount! But I, your master fish, have been free and happy all my life…"
Gui Ling snorted coldly, then interrupted him and said, "Aren't you serving Gong Gong now? If I let you escape again today, I would be too ashamed to see anyone in the world! Big brother, sisters, please lend a hand!"
Po, Jin Ling, and Wu Dang flashed over with interest. The four of them stood in the north, south, west, and east, surrounding Henggong fish in the middle. Po's eyes shone brightly as he stared at Henggong fish's red scales and laughed, "Sister, you seem to be in a good mood, and my hands are quite itchy as well. Hehe, my sisters, do you see it? This Henggong fish's scales have natural patterns of Dao hiding in them!"
Gui Ling, Jin Ling, and Wu Dang all had their eyes shining on hearing Po, while looking at Henggong fish from head to toe.
A while later, Wu Dang clapped her hands and laughed, "It's true! This Henggong fish is indeed special. I didn't know he has so many magical patterns of great Dao on his scales. No wonder he's weapon-proof, that not even divine weapons can't harm a hair of his."
Jin Ling gave a faint smile and said, "Getting him to be a mount or a guarding spirit beast, sister Gui Ling, you have indeed made a good choice."
On Henggong fish's scales, layers of natural patterns of great Dao had formed numerous shield-shaped natural spell symbols, seeming to be especially strong and sturdy, even indestructible. With the power of these natural spell symbols of great Dao, Henggong fish was gifted with an extraordinary defensive power.
Gui Ling laughed while slightly waving the black ruyi held in her left hand. Mountain-heavy streams of water surged up and transformed into black lotuses, descending down toward Henggong fish.
Henggong fish was frozen, daring not to make any move.
Po, Gui Ling, Jin Ling and Wu Dang were the famous four disciples of Yu Yu. Back then, Gui Ling was alone, but still, she nearly chased Henggong fish to every corner of the world. Now, the sense of power released from Gui Ling was hundreds of times more powerful than before, but Henggong fish clearly knew that he hadn't improved by much.
He couldn't rival Gui Ling, but if he tried everything to escape, he might still have a chance. Nevertheless, at the moment, in addition to Gui Ling, he was also facing Po, Jin Ling and Wu Dang, who seemed to be even more terrifying than her. Henggong fish racked his brain and pondered for a while, helplessly realizing that he didn't even have a chance to run under the current circumstances.
Seeing Gui Ling launch the move, Po said blandly, "Sister, let me try first."
While speaking, Po waved his hands. A pair of ancient styled swords appeared, being gripped by Po. The swords were covered in tortoiseshell patterns. Two sword light streams flashed across the air. No one on the scene managed to see Po's moves clearly, but fire sparkles were already sent up against Henggong fish's body.
As a long series of clangs was started, Po had already hacked on Henggong fish's body thirty-six thousand times, within a blink of an eye. But even with Po's power, and the pair of supreme-level ancient swords, Po failed to break Henggong fish's scales.
Po put back the pair of swords in surprise, popped out his eyes and looked at Henggong fish. A while later, he praised, "Indeed, strong scales! For such a magical creature, it would be a shame if we kill him."
Henggong fish stared at Po with an extra miserable look. Just now, Po launched thirty-six-thousand hacks on him, but he couldn't even see how Po did it. Although his scales had provided a solid defense that Po's swords didn't even leave a single mark on his body, Po's sword power was similar to the power of Taisi's Nail Head Seven Arrow Book, that didn't hurt his body, but severely injured his soul.
The fish then had large streams of blood gushing out of his mouth, ears, eyes and nose.
Embarrassedly and bitterly, he laughed and said, "Your master fish…no, I, no, the poor little fish, back then, I was trapped in the North Sea as a poor little fish. Gong Gong saved me. Therefore, I swore to serve the Gong Gong Family. People…people…"
Henggong fish pitifully looked at Po and the others and said, "Besides, you killed Snake Xiu. He was my best friend. Now, you want me to serve you> Don't you think it's a bit unreasonable?"
Feng Xing squatted on the roof of a great hall in the distance, chuckled and said, "You can't say this. Gong Gong betrayed the humankind. He is hurting all living creatures in the world. We obeyed the hearts and wills of nature and all living beings, and came to the heaven to stop you from causing a greater disaster…Snake Xiu helped Gong Gong n doing these evil things. We killed him because he deserved to die."
"Henggong fish, Snake Xiu had made too many mistakes. Death served him right." continued Feng Xing, "You're also a dog of Gong Gong, and it would be totally reasonable if we kill you as well. You were supposed to die, but fortunately, our sister Gui Ling wanted to recruit you. You shall just obediently lower your head and do whatever she says. What are you still struggling for?"
Po smilingly nodded at Feng Xing. Feng Xing was smart and capable, also with a great communication skill, indeed adorable! Po truly wanted to invite Feng Xing to join the sect. But sadly, a part of Feng Xing's bloodline came from the God-kind, for which reason, Yu Yu could not take him as a disciple.
Henggong fish showed the whites of his eyes. He quickly blinked his eyes and looked around. He wanted to run, but he couldn't. He clearly understood that he could never escape from all these powerful beings. He wanted to give a desperate fight, but he was severely injured by Taisi and Po in a row. Therefore, he realized that the strong defensive power of his was enough for dealing with the other enemies, but was not good enough to fend himself from these terribly powerful ones.
Remaining silent for a while, Henggong fish suddenly shouted out loud, "Xiang Liu! You nine-headed bastard! Help! Help! I'm encircled! They want me to serve them like a horse! Help! Help me! The heaven and earth great formation, trigger it! Trigger it now!"
Following Henggong fish's shout, dense seven-colored clouds speedily gathered in the sky above the treasury. Colorful bolts of lightning sizzled in the cloud, while a crushingly great pressure descended from the sky.
Gui Ling's look slightly changed. "You chose the hard way! Good, I'll take you, then punish you later!" growled Gui Ling harshly.
Turning around her right hand, Gui Ling took out the long gray streamer that Yu Yu borrowed from Priest Qing Wei. She gripped the long streamer and sightly waved. Countless streams of gray sword power immediately spurted out, roared and bumped into Henggong fish's body.
Henggong fish screamed while a bright fiery light burst from his scales. Even the sword power released from Priest Qing Wei's long streamer couldn't harm a little bit of his body, but the Chaos sword intent pierced straight into his soul, bringing him a soul-deep pain.
Showing the whites of his eyes, Henggong fish fainted.
The tower floating above Po's head shone with clear streams of light while countless colorful bolts of thunder struck down rumblingly.

Baby Boomer women have a new ally
Dallas, TX, May 06, 2015 –(PR.com)– Baby Boomer women have a new ally.
Calypso Blue Organics, LLC, Dallas, TX today announced the launch of its online resource to assist women over 50 in the quest to enhance their natural beauty and overcome the effects of aging. The new site is www.calypsoblueorganics.com and it features the full line of Calypso Blue Organics anti-aging skincare products in a simple and easy to shop format as well as lifestyle and beauty tips for women over 50.
"After turning fifty, like so many other women, I found out the hard way that there wasn't a skincare product in the marketplace that met my present needs," says Karen Dubberley, CEO and Founder of Calypso Blue Organics. "The harsh Texas environment can take a toll and the truth is peri or postmenopausal women desperately need skincare products that will nourish and nurture aging skin. After almost two years of research and testing we have developed a full line of all natural skincare products offered in a shopping experience that is easy to understand and simple to use."
Made in the USA, Calypso Blue Organics products are made from plant extracts, healing botanicals and pure or biologically natural ingredients. Calypso Blue Organics is a cruelty-free company and all products are Paraben, colorant, formaldahyde and harsh surfactant free.
"Our research indicated that Baby Boomer women not only wanted gentle, all natural solutions to overcome the effects of aging but they wanted to learn and shop in an environment that was honest, not condescending, and that avoided the 'bait and switch' pricing and 'subscription' gimmicks that are all too common in today's marketplace," Dubberley added.
www.calypsoblueorganics.com welcomes women "of a certain age" to visit and learn about beauty from one of their own – a woman with the same life experiences and skincare challenges they face themselves.

PEOPLE opt to work from home when they need to balance their parenting and working duties when they have small children. Institutions or businesses ask their employees to work from home when they need to save money on office rental by creating shared workstations. Of course, people choose to work from the comfort – or discomfort – of their own homes voluntarily or involuntarily for various reasons, and doubtless Supreme Court president Štefan Harabin has his own list of reasons for wanting to run the country's key judicial institution from home.
One proffered justification for Harabin's desire to work from home two days a week, or at least the explanation which his office chose to share with the public, is that he is "the chairman and a member of the appeal senate, which decides on the most serious penal cases such as murders, life sentences and organised crime", and would thus presumably benefit from considering them in more comfortable surroundings.
Harabin has once again taken his critics aback, despite consistently exceeding their worst expectations and conducting his tenure of Slovakia's most senior judicial positions as a kind of long-running farce.
The Judicial Council consented meekly to Harabin's request, with the only dissenting voice coming from Miroslav Gavalec, often described by the local media as a critic of Harabin. Gavalec, while admitting that Harabin is also a judge, also suggested that he found it hard to imagine how the boss of the Supreme Court could manage the institution from home, especially at a time when the Supreme Court still does not have a vice president, the SITA newswire reported, citing the minutes of the council's sitting.
Most probably, Harabin's request to work from home was not prompted by a sudden surge of autumn melancholy. It comes at a time when Harabin should be paid 70 percent less than his normal salary, in compliance with a disciplinary punishment imposed on him in July by the Constitutional Court for repeatedly blocking Finance Ministry auditors from checking the accounts of the Supreme Court.
Pessimists would say that the Supreme Court boss managing what, under ideal conditions, should be the ivory tower of justice from his sofa at home only confirms what has been known for ages: that something is seriously rotten in the state of Slovakia's judiciary. Optimists might instead jokingly suggest that the absence of Harabin at the Supreme Court might not be such a bad thing after all. Making his home into his office certainly has a symbolic significance for Harabin and many will interpret it as his response to the fine.
In early September, Harabin called the decision of the Constitutional Court a "hydra of arbitrariness" and used divorce as a metaphor to explain his case: "It is exactly the same as if you are legally divorced and the District Court in Prešov as well as the regional court and Supreme Court confirm this but the Constitutional court disciplinarily sentences you upon a ministerial proposal for bigamy because it did not respect the legal decision of the district and regional court and would say that you as a judge behaved in an undignified manner," Harabin said, as quoted by SITA. He was referring to a decision by a Bratislava district court, which was later confirmed by his own Supreme Court, suggesting that the Finance Ministry could not audit the Supreme Court. Harabin did not respond to queries about whether his request to work from home was linked to his punishment, which according to Sme will cut his pay by €3,500 a month. Recently, the Movement for a Democratic Slovakia (HZDS), in its regular 'talks' with leader Vladimír Mečiar – in fact a self-conducted interview by the HZDS boss and former prime minister which the SITA newswire now runs on three pages as paid content – spoke in great length in defence of Harabin.
And even though the relevance of Mečiar's thoughts, in terms of any serious discourse, is close to zero, they show that Harabin at the Supreme Court represents the legacy that Mečiar left behind. Voters barred the doors of parliament to Mečiar in 2010, by refusing to vote for the HZDS in sufficient numbers to pass the threshold for entry, but they cannot do the same to Harabin at the Supreme Court.
Mečiar was restored to a position of influence by Robert Fico, who picked his HZDS to co-rule the country in 2006. Harabin now lingers as a living reminder to everyone who doubts the ability of certain politicians to direct the country's affairs that it is often not the politicians themselves who cause the most harm, but the actions of their unrestrained cronies. Society is forced to live with their baleful influence for much longer – and does not have the option of working from home to avoid it.

Teachers in the Solomon Islands are continuing with their strike for pay justice.
The teachers, who are members of the Solomon Islands Teachers Association have been on strike since the beginning of March, demanding the payment of money owed to them since 2012.
Despite threats of disciplinary action including sacking, the teachers say they will not return to work until the dispute is settled.
The Solomon Islands government has been in ongoing negotiations with the IMF for continuing credit facilities, as well as being partly dependent on 'aid'. It is doubtless no coincidence that under these conditions it is attempting to cut its spending by failing to pay money owed to teachers. In a letter to the IMF requesting more help, the government promises among other things: "We will contain public expenditure and enhance the quality of public spending", which presumably means that they will cut public spending – and in education that means predominately teachers' pay – but get better 'value for money' in other words more work for less pay.

5. No NFs shall be allocated two (2) consecutive FEI World or FEI Continental Championships in the same Discipline for the same Category of Athletes, unless there are no other suitable applications.
How do you understand this point?
Option 1: No country is allowed to host 2 consecutive World Championships or 2 consecutive European Championships, right?
If World Endurance Championship 2014 was held in France in Normandy, so, World Endurance Championship 2016 can't be held in France again, right?
Option 2: Or can we interpet this point as "no country is allowed to host the Championships for 2 consecutive years"?
If Samorin was the host of European Championship 2015, it can't be the host of World Championship 2016, isn't it?
As we know now, there are three bidders for the World Endurance Championship 2016: Fontainebleau (FRA), Samorin (SVK), San Rossore (ITA).
If we interpret the Article 106.5 in first supposed way, then Fontainebleau is ineligible, because in such case France will host two consecutive World Championships (2014 and 2016).
If we interpret the Article 106.5 in second supposed way, then Samorin is ineligible, because in such case the same venue will host the Championships for two consecutive years (2015 and 2016).
Both Fontainebleau and Samorin are ineligible, because we have another application from third bidder: San Rossore.
So, if the FEI Bureau will announce the new venue of WEC 2016 in Fontainebleau or Samorin, it will be the violation of own rules of the FEI...

Want to know when the fiat US dollar will collapse? Watch the petrodollar system and the factors affecting it. This is critically important, because once the dollar loses its coveted reserve status, the consequences will be dire for Americans.
The faltering strategic regional position of Saudi Arabia, the rise of Iran (which is not part of the petrodollar system), failed US interventions, Russia's increasing power as an energy giant, and the emergence of the BRICS nations (which offer the potential of future alternative economic/security arrangements) all affect the sustainability of the petrodollar system.
My colleague Marin Katusa's mentioned in his book; The Colder War, you need to be aware of what Vladimir Putin is doing. Putin would like nothing more than to sabotage the petrodollar, and he's forging alliances across the planet that he hopes will help him achieve his goal.
At the same time, you should watch the relationship between the US and Saudi Arabia, which has been deteriorating.

I'm inclined to believe Ron over any other politician. That being said this is probably just a segway to his many websites and news letters with gold stock Ponzi scheme sponsors.
Remarkably, the impact of lower oil for Russia's economic growth is not as severe as might be expected. Sustained oil at USD80/bbl would see growth slow by 1.8pp to 0.6%. This compares with the worst hit economies of Angola (where growth is nearly 8pp lower at -2%), Iraq (GDP slows to -1.6% from 4.5% growth), Kazakhstan and Azerbaijan (growth falls to -0.9% from 5.8%).

The dollar isn't going anywhere. You can talk about a collapse all you want.
China and Russia have been furiously signing energy deals that indicate their mutual energy interests. The most obvious is the $456 billion gas deal that Russian state-owned Gazprom signed with China in May, but that was just the biggest in a string of energy agreements going back to 2009. That year, Russian oil giant Rosneft secured a $25 billion oil swap agreement with Beijing, and last year, Rosneft agreed to double oil supplies to China in a deal valued at $270 billion.
"If Russia's 'pivot to Asia' results in Moscow and Beijing trading oil between them in a currency other than the dollar, that will represent a major change in how the global economy operates and a marked loss of power for the U.S. and its allies," Halligan wrote in May. "With China now the world's biggest oil importer and the U.S. increasingly stressing domestic production, the days of dollar-priced energy, and therefore dollar-dominance, look numbered."
"Taken alone, these actions do not mean the end of the dollar as the leading global reserve currency," Jim Rickards, portfolio manager at West Shore Group and partner at Tangent Capital Partners, told CNBC. "But taken in the context of many other actions around the world including Saudi Arabia's frustration with U.S. foreign policy toward Iran, and China's voracious appetite for gold, these actions are meaningful steps away from the dollar."
A small fire erupted on a gas pipeline in eastern Saudi Arabia on Tuesday after assailants shot at a security patrol, security and oil industry sources said, in an incident that may heighten concern about the vulnerability of Saudi energy infrastructure."
"However, the Chinese have a problem in their plans for the yuan. The government has not yet removed capital controls that would allow full convertibility, for fear of unleashing a torrent of speculative flows that could damage the Chinese economy."
"However, "[It] is clear that China is laying foundations for wider acceptance of the yuan," said Karl Schamotta, a senior market strategist at Western Union Business Solutions," as quoted in an International Business Times article."
"Qatar will become the Middle East's first hub for clearing transactions in the Chinese yuan, in a step that could over the long run help Gulf oil exporting countries reduce their dependence on the US dollar."
"It's a clear signal that there is demand from Qatar and some of the surrounding Middle Eastern countries," said Candy Ho, global head of yuan business development at HSBC."
"According to Katusa, de Margerie was "a total liability" due to Total's involvement in plans to build an LNG plant on the Yamal Peninsula along with partner Novatek. The company was also seeking financing for a gas project in Russia despite Western sanctions.
"It planned to finance its share in the $27-billion Yamal project using euros, yuan, Russian rubles, and any other currency but U.S. dollars," Katusa writes, then entices the reader with this: "Did this direct threat to the petrodollar make this 'true friend of Russia'—as Putin called de Margerie - some very powerful and dangerous enemies amongst the power that be, whether in the French government, the EU, or the U.S.?"
That may be a stretch, but Katusa's U.S. dollar reference shows that any developments that point to a move away from the dominance of the greenback are not going unnoticed.

Monday July 8, 2019 – Channel Partner Division of consumable giant LD Products launched a video revealing more detail around the recent Buyers Lab (BLI) independent testing on New Build GOLD Line Cartridges from LD Products.
"Due to high levels of dealer interest, we have created a video which features further details around the Buyers Lab (BLI) product testing process, product evaluations, text samples as well as average image quality score comparisons. This video provides the visual story and behind the scenes look at the process and results." says Christian Pepper, President of the LD Products Channel Partner Division.
"We were thrilled to announce these positive test results in April on two popular laser printer series used in MPS environments. This testing was an industry first and now has provided us with the data results of how our cartridges performed against OEM in a head to head test by a leading 3rd party testing organization".
LD Products believes the new BLI Report will provide dealers with further education and validation on the compelling need to rethink their toner strategy. Based on dealer feedback, the new LD GOLD Line of premium quality new build cartridges is a step up in quality over the leading remanufactured cartridges for up to 70% less than OEM toner prices.
In 2018, LD Products achieved the industry's lowest return rate of 0.1% and in Q1 2019, released a new dealer testimonial page with rave reviews from many of the nation's most prominent dealers.

Latest Chelsea v Stoke odds as the Potters look plenty of value in the latest betting at a big price of 8/1.
Out of sorts Chelsea will look to get their title charge back on track when they welcome Stoke to fortress Stamford Bridge later today.
Jose Mourinho's quest to win the Premier League and Champions League in his first season back at the club is tethering on the brink after key defeats in a week.
CHELSEA v STOKE – FREE BETS!
Chelsea 3/10, draw 5/1, Stoke 12/1
Betfred have announced they are offering free bets up to £25 to spend on any of this weekends football fixtures – More details below!
Click here for upto £25 in free football bets with Betfred!
The Blues relinquished top spot to Liverpool last weekend when they lost 1-0 away to Crystal Palace, with their woes compounded by a 3-1 defeat to PSG midweek in the quarter-final of the Champions league.
Mourinho has mentioned on a number of occasions this season that his side are not ready to win the title and it would appear that the message has now filtered through to the players.
Recently the Chelsea players have looked tired and with the title destination now out of their control Mourinho will need to use all of his managerial know-how to lift morale and prepare his side for any potential slip ups by Liverpool and Manchester City.
Most of Chelsea's woes in recent weeks have come on the road so they welcome the chance to play at Stamford Bridge, the fortress that has helped the club to 44 points this season.
The club lost to Stoke 3-2 at the Britannia earlier in the season but avenged that particular defeat when they knocked the Potters out of the FA Cup. Points and a confidence boosting win as opposed to revenge will be the order of the day on Saturday.
Chelsea will be without the suspended Ramires for the game while Samuel Eto'o and Ashley Cole will be assessed in the build up to ascertain if they ready to return to the squad.
Stoke meanwhile have a poor record in London against the Blues, losing their last seven games at Stamford Bridge and failing to score in their last six visits but they will head to the Bridge in good form with four wins and a draw in their last five games.
That run has lifted the club to 10th in the table and onto the magical 40 point mark all but ensuring their place in the Premier League next season.
Mark Hughes' men will head into the game without Robert Huth and Oussama Assaidi, both of whom are struggling with knee injuries.

News and information about the Government's tax policy work programme, including:
- proposed changes to the laws that Inland Revenue is responsible for
- updates on the progress of bills through Parliament
- policy announcements
Further TAA consultation announced
8 December 2016
Submissions are sought on detailed proposals for amendments to the Tax Administration Act which build on earlier proposals released for consultation in November 2015.
The proposals which support the Government's transformation of tax administration are aimed at helping to get tax right from the start. In particular, they centre around the roles of the Commissioner of Inland Revenue, taxpayers and their agents, information collection, confidentiality and disclosure and the design of a new Tax Administration Act. Submissions close on 24 February 2017.
For more information see the Minister of Revenue's media statement and the discussion document Making tax simpler – Proposals for modernising the Tax Administration Act.
Hon Michael Woodhouse
Minster of Revenue
Media statement
8 December 2016
Feedback sought on modernising the TAA
Revenue Minister Michael Woodhouse today released proposals to simplify and modernise the Tax Administration Act (TAA), as part of the Government's major transformation of the revenue system.
"The Government is committed to ensuring our tax administration is fit for purpose and meets the needs of modern New Zealand," Mr Woodhouse says.
"Today's release of the discussion document, Making tax simpler – proposals for modernising the Tax Administration Act, includes detailed proposals developed following the first round of consultation in November last year.
"A key feature of this consultation is a focus on moving Inland Revenue resources to help taxpayers get it right from the start by providing more advice."
Submissions received in November 2015 showed support for greater flexibility in how Inland Revenue works with taxpayers and intermediaries. They also recognised a desire to balance taxpayers' confidentiality with the need for broader information sharing within government.
"A lot has changed in the way individuals and businesses engage with the tax system since the last comprehensive review of our tax administration settings in the early 90s," Mr Woodhouse says.
"That is why we are undertaking extensive consultation to ensure the TAA is simple and workable for all New Zealanders."
Submissions close on 24 February 2017. More information is available at www.makingtaxsimpler.ird.govt.nz.

Our care has helped millions of people around the world get peace of mind in their moment of need. See what everyone's saying.Share my story Get started now
"I'm a first-time user of Teladoc and am VERY impressed. I signed up in less than 5 minutes, then scheduled a visit. I was diagnosed and had a prescription sent within minutes! I had the visit in the privacy of my office. No downtime or PTO used."
"With five kids at home you can imagine the amount of time spent at doctors' offices as they spread the flu to each other. I can set up an appointment and never leave home. This service is a lifesaver."
"Opened the app and uploaded a couple photos of my skin. About a couple hours after requesting the visit, I received a notification that my condition had been reviewed. The message from the dermatologist was easy to understand and felt personalized."
"I had no fear at all because of the advice I had received in my report and the expert surgeon who reviewed my case. [After surgery], I'm now 95% repaired. It was life-changing."
"I don't like to take off from work to sit in a waiting room. With Teladoc, I went to work not feeling well and a doctor called, listened, and sent in my prescriptions."
"Therapy was intimidating at first, but when you realize it's just talking on the phone, it becomes easier."
"When I was on vacation I developed a rash and I used the Teladoc app, snapped some pictures of the issue, and within a day I got a response from a doctor with an explanation, treatment plan, and medication, and was able to deal with the issue before it got worse."
"I am very grateful to Teladoc. I have lymphatic metastatic cancer. Your service gave me a sense of freedom that I had lost. I have admiration and respect for the Teladoc specialist because of his unique listening abilities and especially the questions he formulated to my treating oncologists."
"Teladoc has helped me begin to rebuild my life while letting go of the fear and anxieties that were holding me back."
"All 3 dermatologist offices in my area are closed on Fridays, which is my day off. The nearest office was over an hour away...so I requested a visit online through Teladoc, uploaded my photos and info. In about 2 hours, I received a response and diagnosis from a doctor."
"So nice to stay home and receive care instead of going to a doctor's office with other sick people. Warm and comfortable care at home, on my time!"
"I was experiencing anxiety and utter panic when I found out that I was pregnant with my third child and knew I needed help. I decided to give Teladoc a try on my lunch break, and have to say that I am feeling 100x better. I probably wouldn't have sought out help if it wasn't for Teladoc."
"Prompt, professional, attentive to my needs. I received a second opinion in an impossibly short time, giving me the confidence to continue with surgery. There is no way this could have been done face-to-face. Thank you to everyone involved."
"I would take my mental health appointments during my lunch break at work. It's been a huge help. I don't feel like it's a hopeless struggle to make time for work and myself now."
"A couple of months ago I woke up to horrible back pain. I explained my symptoms to the Teladoc doctor and he suggested that I go to the ER. Turns out I had kidney stones. Had it not been for Teladoc I probably would have waited until morning."
"Three days before the treatment, I got the call from Best Doctors—it said no cancer. Best Doctors saved my life."
"My Teladoc experience was absolutely seamless, quick, and effortless."
Joe C.
"It's really easy, and you can call even while you're on the golf course or on vacation."
Pearce M.
"I can talk to a doctor anytime, 24/7 from anywhere, whether I'm at home or in the office."
Laura W.
"The first time I used Teladoc was terrific. It was simple, quick, and efficient."
Eugene R.

Equine Assisted Learning incorporates the use of horses experientially to encourage growth and learning. All activities are done on the ground i.e. there is no riding involved. All horses used are mature and well established. Through the use of facilitated activities tailor-made for each specific group, participants can learn about themselves and others and then later work on processing or discussing their findings.
We work through a programme of activities with the participants that encourage them to become aware of their body language, energy levels and behaviour simply by becoming aware of how the horses react to them. The results are naturally evolving. Cause and effect situations are created and the horses give immediate feedback, which is interpreted by the facilitators. The focus is on the horses so participants are less conscious of their own actions and so the process flows freely. We draw metaphors for life from the feedback the horses give. There is no pressure on participants and they can choose how much of the horses' feedback applies to them.
The EAL team is made up of two facilitators, the horses, and the participants. One of the facilitators is the Equine specialist; their main focus is on the horses. The other facilitator is a Mental Health specialist and their focus is on the participants.
In Piper's Hill College, we are enhancing student Wellbeing, through Equine Assisted Learning, in the SPHE course. This weeks topic was communication skills and the class was 1 Erne.
This is a Collaborative Community Equine Education Project. Ballymore Land Ltd have facilitated and supported the process by allowing us the use of a paddock that can be accessed from the school. It couldn't have been done without Don and Liam in Ballymore.

Last Hunter: An American Family Album
$ 24.95
The Last Hunter is an examination of family, life on the land, and those things we hold dear enough to want to carry along, one generation to another.
"I've been waiting for this book almost as long as I've hunted. In beautiful, precise prose Weaver has reinserted me in an America that I too miss, where we lived by and with nature—an America the old need to remember and the young need to know about." Ted Williams, Editor-at-Large for Audubon and Conservation Editor forFly Rod & Reel
Minnesota's Will Weaver has been a hunter since he was a young boy, following in the footsteps of his father, a dedicated and seasoned outdoorsman. As he writes, "in the fall, when Canada geese came through and when partridge season opened, [we] heard the far-off thudding report of shotguns—and in November the heavier poom-poom! of deer rifles." Hunting frames Weaver's childhood memories, his relationship with his father, and his own definition of self. And although one side of his family lineage includes men who would not hunt, or go to war, or carry a rifle, Weaver is caught off guard when his son and daughter show no interest in upholding the tradition of the hunt.
The Last Hunter is a twenty-first-century collection of deeply personal tales—a truly American story. Weaver's heartfelt rendering sweeps us along on a family journey from an isolated North Dakota farm "built around a fork and shovel" to postmodern America. Grounded in telling and luminous detail, The Last Hunter is an examination of family, life on the land, and those things we hold dear enough to want to carry along, one generation to another.
Praise for Will Weaver:
". . . his stories view America's heartland with a candid but charitable eye."
—New York Times on A Gravestone Made of Wheat
". . . pitch perfect. Superb."
—Kirkus Reviews on Full Service
" Weaver . . . is a writer of uncommon natural talent. He's that rare Real Thing,a writer writing eloquently, often between the lines but always with an undertowof passion about what he knows, where he lives, what he's been through."
—Los Angeles Times

Greetings. I'm Maryam Ebrahimpour, and I'm a haircut, formula and chignon expert. Today I want to teach you how to work with formula. This technique can be useful for Sombre, Ombre, Balayage, and color melting.
Tease the hair close to the root thoroughly. Add product to your Meche tape. Fade the product on the hair upward. Also, add the product to the rest of the hair to the tip. We can use decoloring powder and nine percent oxidant. If we want the hair lighter, to the point where it looks white, like a level nine or ten, then you must use nine percent oxidant. If you just want to lighten the hair, you can also use six percent oxidant.
Fade the product upward. It's very important to fade it because it will help you avoid creating visible lines on the hair. I continue this process until the top of the head. Separate another batch, tease the root, and add the product to your Meche paper first so the hair sticks to the Meche without moving. Finally, add the top Meche layer. This is the top of the hair. We still do it the same way. Tease the root to a point where you're left with a thin layer of hair in your hand. Add the product to your foam paper and continue to until I reach the tip of the hair. Fade the product upward, just as I showed you before.
I just wanted you to see how you should add the product. My model hair has added highlights in the front. However, if it didn't I would add the product to the front of the hair horizontally. You only have to fade the top of the hair. As you can see, we already have highlighted here. However, I separate a batch without the highlight in order to show you the technique. We've already applied the highlight to the back. I separated the darker parts of the hair in the front. Tease the root like this and add the product to the rest. You can choose the layers horizontally. Fade the product upward on the hair. Fade it like this and add the top foam paper.
If you notice dark layers of hair under the hair, you can apply the same technique there as well. Tease the hair, and add the product to the thin layer that remains. We do the same on the left side. You can use foils instead of foam or Meche paper, but the foam is usually easier because it won't move or fall of the hair.
Our decoloring process is over. I've gone to a decoloring level of eight or nine on this hair because I didn't want to damage the model. If you pay attention to the highlights, you'll see that there are no visible lines. Teasing and fading the product on the hair made this possible. I'm going to apply a dye and come back. I've applied the dye. I've used Caramel, champagne and natural color. We can use this color mix on a hair with a decoloring level of nine or ten. You can see how there's absolutely no line at the bottom of the hair.
I hope you have enjoyed this item.
Until next time, goodbye.

In Asheville, every day is Small Business Saturday
ASHEVILLE – Before the blue doormat arrived a few weeks ago with the words "Shop Small" stenciled in white lettering, Leslie Hawkins said the Saturday after Thanksgiving had always been business as usual for Spellbound Children's Bookshop.
"I got used to that weekend not being huge for us," Hawkins said of her independent bookstore for both kids and kids-at-heart. "People that were interested in shopping that weekend were heading to the bigger stores."
Big box stores have long claimed Black Friday as the time for early door-busting deals. In recent years, Cyber Monday gave online retailers a new reason to encourage customers to click their way through the holiday shopping season.
However, with her doormat, posters and tote bags ready to go, Hawkins said she thinks this will be the year when thinking small will give Western North Carolina entrepreneurs like herself a big boost for the holiday season.
"People have to see or hear a message so many times before it sticks, but I think it's starting to catch on," Hawkins said. "We want people to shop small year-round, but with Black Friday and Cyber Monday, we want to make a special effort on our day: Small Business Saturday."
The fifth-annual shopping event, which began in 2010 as a project of American Express, encourages people to forgo the large retail chains and instead shop for gifts at local businesses the Saturday after Thanksgiving.
According to a survey conducted by the National Federation of Independent Businesses, consumer spending with independent merchants neared $5.7 billion during last year's Small Business Saturday event.
Though Hawkins said her gut feeling about this year's Small Business Saturday was just a hunch, research backs up her instincts.
During this year's event, 82 percent of U.S. consumers say they plan to shop or eat at an independently owned store or restaurant, according to the American Express Small Business Saturday Consumer Insights Study.
However, the buy local movement is not a new concept in Western North Carolina.
Local is still the new black
One year before American Express dreamed up Small Business Saturday, members of the Asheville Grown Business Alliance had already designed their "Local is the New Black" shirts as a way to remind folks to find an alternative to the big-box store on Black Friday.
"We have a very strong campaign, and we have very strong marketing materials, and we really concentrate on using the ones we already have in place," said Franzi Charen, founder of Asheville Grown Business Alliance and co-owner of Hip Replacements boutique. "You're not really going to see the Love Asheville Small Business Saturday poster come out anytime soon."
The "Buy Local" advocacy group began its grassroots campaign in 2009, and is also the creator of the annual Go Local Card.
The rewards card program brings hundreds of locally owned, independent businesses together each year for a fundraiser. Half of the $16 card price goes directly to Asheville City Schools and the other $8 goes back to Asheville Grown.
"When most communities have kids selling candy bars and wrapping paper, our kids in our community are selling the Go Local Card," Charen said, noting that cardholders get a discount at participating businesses. "It's about connecting schools supporting local businesses, and local businesses supporting schools."
According to American Express spokesperson Nicole Leinbach-Reyhle, communities like Asheville and Western North Carolina may stand to benefit more than others on Small Business Saturday.
"When you have a community like Asheville that rallies together to support shopping at small businesses all year long and then makes Small Business Saturday a celebration, too, that's where we see more success," Leinbach-Reyhle said. "It takes small businesses, communities and consumers to keep small businesses alive."
Jeff Milchen, the co-director and co-founder of the American Independent Business Alliance, agrees. His nonprofit organization has helped more than 90 groups, including Asheville Grown, jump start their "go local" movements for more than a decade.
When people are already knowledgeable about the impact they can make in their community by shopping at local businesses, Milchen said, "It can provide a boost for small businesses from a much higher starting point.
"Small Business Saturday has a very positive impact wherever folks are getting the message out to buy local, but it's certainly going to be multiplied further if groups, like Asheville Grown Business Alliance, continue to raise people's awareness about the benefits of shopping locally throughout the year," he said.
'A ripple effect'
According to a study done by the research group Civic Economics, 48 percent of money spent at mom-and-pop establishments recirculates in the community, compared to 14 percent of purchases at chain stores.
"Spending dollars locally has a ripple effect that extends economic benefits in the region where it is spent," said Heidi Reiber, director of research for the Asheville Area Chamber of Commerce. "For example, when demand for a local product or service increases, a business may spend more in the local supply chain, or they may add staff to their payroll increasing household income."
In addition to investing dollars in the local economy, the event is also about highlighting the community and the businesses that shape it.
"Small business is a very important part of Asheville's economy. More than 85 percent of Asheville Chamber members have fewer than 50 employees," said Erin Leonard, director of communications for the Asheville Area Chamber of Commerce. "It is an opportunity for stores to showcase their products and develop relationships with customers who will return time and again throughout the year."
Making connections
Bethany Adams, the owner and artist of Rhetorical Factory, opened her Haywood Road storefront about six months ago. As a relative newcomer to the historic West Asheville thoroughfare, Adams said Small Business Saturday doubles as a day where she can tell customers both hello and thank you.
"For us, it's like a celebration," Adams said. "It's a chance for people who have been participating in Small Business Saturday and the go local movement to get a chance to shine."
On Saturday, the store opens one hour early at 10 a.m. and will offer surprise discounts for patrons who purchase more than $50 of merchandise.
"I'm sure everybody could grab somebody they know who hasn't been shopping local. With this event, it's an opportunity to spread the word," she said. "I don't think we're anywhere near saturating Asheville citizens with information about what it means to make local, ethical choices."
Farther north at The Shops and Reynolds Village, Hawkins said her bookshop wants to up the ante by also participating in the Indies First campaign.
The initiative asks independent bookstores to invite authors to sell books in local shops on Small Business Saturday. Malaprop's Bookstore/Café will also be participating in Indies First.
This year, Hawkins said she will have two authors in her store instead of one; and when patrons buy a book recommended by one of the guest booksellers, they will receive a 10 percent discount.
"We want to remind people that what we offer, you can't get with a click of a button," she said.
A stronger regional economy
Almost 68 miles from Asheville, Historic Downtown Franklin has been searching for a way to get people thinking about its small businesses during the holiday shopping season.
Unlike larger cities, smaller towns face their own challenges by having less name recognition and fewer businesses in their downtown shopping districts.
However, Town Manager Summer Woodard said it's what makes her hometown different from other cities in WNC that makes it special.
"Main Street is ever-changing," Woodard said. "Within the past five years, you saw Main Street try to capture the outdoors scene with new outdoors stores, a bicycle shop and a ton of new businesses."
To highlight the changes while giving locals and tourists the small-town treatment, the Macon County town has moved its annual Winter Wonderland festival up for the first time in its history to coincide with Small Business Saturday.
"With every festival, you've got to revamp and regroup," said Woodard. "This an opportunity for visitors and residents alike who may not have ventured out to come to a new store that's opened. Even if they don't buy something that day, they may come back to it to shop for Valentine's Day or for a birthday."
The Franklin Main Street Program, like the Asheville Area Chamber of Commerce, partnered with American Express to become a Neighborhood Champion of Small Business Saturday.
In return, American Express provided these partners with free promotional materials, like doormats, tote bags and balloons, to increase awareness about Small Business Saturday.
In North Carolina, there are a total of 105 Neighborhood Champions.
Though the Brevard is not an official Neighborhood Champion, the executive director of the Heart of Brevard said a number of businesses will be participating. He said many see this as a crucial time of year.
"There is a lot of tourism that happens in Western North Carolina, but January and February aren't the best months in the mountains," Heath Seymour said. "Being able to do as well as they can leading into December is key."
In the past year, Seymour said downtown Brevard has seen an increase in demand not only from consumers, but from entrepreneurs looking to open their business.
"We've moved into a position where we have more people interested in opening shops than we have the right space for in downtown Brevard," Seymour said.
Between what he hears from businesses, tourists and locals, Seymour said the growing interest in local shops combined with Small Business Saturday could be the catalyst for a stronger regional economy.
"Asheville is a fairly large shopping hub, but a lot of these other places give a lot of character and life to this whole region," Seymour said.
"Without the small independent shops and galleries, and the different things you can find in these smaller towns, I think the whole region would be less of a draw. Shopping at small businesses can only help these small towns, like Brevard, stay around. It helps keep the doors open, the traffic moving and the people coming to Western North Carolina."

NYC Airports Unveil 'Lactation Suites' for Nursing Travelers
Airlines & Airports Patrick Clarke May 11, 2015
Image via Twitter
Mamava's breastfeeding and pumping pods, formally known as Lactation Suites, are now available to mothers passing through New York's main airports.
According to the New York Times, the four-foot-by-eight-foot pods debuted at John F. Kennedy International, Newark Liberty International, and LaGuardia Airports late last week, just in time for Mother's Day. The three New York-area airports now combine to boast four of the futuristic nursing pods, with two available at Newark Liberty and one each at JFK and LaGuardia.
The convenient suites arrive less than two months after Milwaukee's General Mitchell International Airport unveiled a trio of private stations for nursing mothers. The Wisconsin airport was the first in the U.S. to purchase Mamava's innovative pods.
"Airports can be stressful environments and are busy, and we want to give moms a clean and comfortable area where they can pump or nurse," said Ashley Orgain, manager of mission advocacy and outreach for Seventh Generation, the company that sponsored the installation of the pods.
The brand new New York airport pods feature two benches with enough seating available to fit a family of four and their luggage comfortably.
Electrical outlets and a fully-shutting door provide added convenience and privacy.
Nursing mothers at JFK can find the pod at the JetBlue Terminal, but Mamava has also created an app to assist passengers in finding the Lactation Suites at all three airports. The app is available through Apple and is expected to be available through Android some time this summer.
In addition to New York and Milwaukee, Mamava CEO Sascha Mayer confirmed earlier this year that discussions were underway involving pods at other major airports in Atlanta and Houston.

Default welcome msg!
The skin on your lips is some of the most sensitive skin on your entire body. While the rest of your body has layers and layers skin, your lips have much fewer. This is why lips have that lovely, natural pinkish tint, but it's also why they are so easily damaged and chapped.
For this reason, it is vital to moisturize lips often. The best way to do that is with a lip balm, such as Caudalie Lip Conditioner. This daily lip balm moisturizes and heals lips while also providing them with protection that lasts throughout the day.
If normal, colorless lip balm is too dull for you, you can add a pop of color with Caudalie French Kiss. This is both a lip balm and a lip tint, which delivers moisture via a combination of caster oil, sunflower oil and aloe vera. It keeps lips from looking dry or cracked and shields them from further damage, all while adding a soft, beautiful hue. Caudalie French Kiss is formulated without sulfates, parabens aor phthalates.
Don't neglect that pretty pout of yours: Make sure that you give it the hydration and protection it needs, so you can keep looking your best!

ABC Drops Its TGIT Thursday Night Branding Until Scandal Returns in January
Not the same without Shonda Rhimes' hit shows
Channing Dungey has been ABC Entertainment president for just six months, but she's already mastered an essential element of the job: Keep your network's most important producer happy.
With that in mind, ABC had made an important decision regarding its successful TGIT branding of its Thursday night dramas, all of which have been produced by Shonda Rhimes for the past two seasons. It's holding off on using "TGIT" until Scandal returns in January. (The drama was pushed to midseason this year to accommodate star Kerry Washington's pregnancy.) This fall, Thursday night will feature the first non-Rhimes-produced show in three years, with Notorious filling in for Scandal at 9 p.m.
While TGIT "was an ABC marketing strategy," it has become synonymous with Rhimes and her shows. The most successful TGIT lineup includes Grey's Anatomy, Scandal and How to Get Away With Murder. Rhimes indicated earlier this year that TGIT wasn't TGIT without her shows, tweeting about the next of May's finales, "This is the final night for #TGIT until 2017! See you for #GreysAnatomy and #HTGAWM in the fall!"
Dungey confirmed to reporters at the Television Critics Association's summer press tour in L.A. that ABC will indeed honor her wishes and keep TGIT in mothballs until January.
This was Dungey's first TCA as head of the network, and she admitted she was "a little more nervous" than when she first spoke with the press to unveil ABC's new schedule in May.
Dungey, who replaced Paul Lee as ABC Entertainment president in February, said she was taken aback by the timing of her promotion. "Coming in in the middle of pilot season was challenging," she said. "It happened very quickly, but I'm very grateful for the opportunity."
She has her work cut out for her: The network fell to fourth in adults 18-49 last season, though Dungey said ABC was tied (with NBC) as the No. 1 entertainment network (which, as we must always note, is not an actual thing). And the network has had a successful summer with its Sunday Fun & Games lineup of game shows Celebrity Family Feud, $100,000 Pyramid and Match Game, all of which have been renewed for next summer.
"We're very proud of our brand," which reflects America "authentically, in all its diversity," Dungey said.
This season, Dungey's goals were to strengthen 10 p.m. and to come up with "more buzzworthy, must-see shows." She may have accomplished both with Designated Survivor, the network's new Kiefer Sutherland drama, which people have been buzzing about since ABC screened its first act for advertisers and buyers at May's upfront.
She also has high hopes for her new drama Conviction. "We have been looking for a while to find what we think is the perfect next iteration of the ABC procedural," said Dungey, who wants to see more closed-ended procedurals on the network because it's easier to produce 22 episodes of those each year (as opposed to serialized shows), plus those episodes fare better in repeats.
On the comedy side, the network had been looking for a project featuring a special needs child, which was one reason it gravitated toward Speechless, starring Minnie Driver, which has also been generating good buzz going into the fall.
American Crime, a pet project of Lee's, is "close to my heart," said Dungey. The series "didn't hit our target" in linear but did "pretty well" in multiplatform, she said. Still, it's important for the network to have some shows "that we believe in creatively," she said, adding that she hopes Season 3 will "broaden the base … it's all about the launch and the marketing" to build momentum.
Dungey announced a straight-to-series pickup of a thriller called Ten Days in the Valley, starring Kyra Sedgwick, which will air sometime in 2017. Each episode unfolds over a single day in the 10-episode season, and future seasons may or may not adhere to the same formula.
On the over-the-top front, "we are committed to getting our content to our audience in as many ways as possible," said Dungey, who touted ABC's app relaunch last month.
Looking ahead to the future, Channing said the network is in talks with fellow Disney companies Marvel and Lucasfilm about bringing new Marvel and Star Wars-themed shows to the network.
