Chairman of Western Communities Foundation and Senator, Scott Tannas, is a proud Albertan who was born in High River, Alberta where he currently resides with his wife Taryn. Together, they have four children and two grandchildren.
Scott is Founder and Vice Chairman of Western Financial Group ("Western"), having served as CEO from 1996 to 2014 and became a member of the senate in 2013. Scott's interest in public service was inspired by his father, Don Tannas, who served as MLA of Highwood for many years. After much consideration, Scott ventured into the world of politics himself as a Progressive Conservative candidate in 2012 and on March 22, 2013, he was elected to the senate by The Right Honourable Stephan Harper. Scott also serves as an honorary board member of SOS Children's Villages – Canada.
A true community trailblazer, Scott's passion for giving back has led his work as a donor and fundraiser for many years. That same desire to support the community that once supported him as a young businessman, is what drove him to launch the Western Communities Foundation in 2001. As a charitable arm of Western Financial Group, the Foundation was created to express appreciation and show support for the communities where Western's employees live, work, and play. In 2018, the Foundation reached a milestone and celebrated contributing over $3 million supporting hundreds of community initiatives.
Since 2007, Nancy has been a volunteer, admirer and supporter of the Western Communities Foundation. In 2013, her son's school was destroyed by the floods that impacted High River, Alberta. The Foundation made a significant contribution to restore the school's playground bringing joy and excitement back to children who had been displaced for most of the year; an event that solidified Nancy's commitment to the Foundation.
"Seeing the happiness, the Foundation brings to our community, and in this case children, makes the Foundation's work so rewarding," said Nancy. "I'm proud to be part of a community of passionate and dedicated individuals."
In 2018, Nancy took her deep-rooted passion for giving back to the next step and joined the Foundation's Board of Directors. Prior to joining the Foundation, Nancy has held many leadership roles with Western Financial Group, including her current role as their Chief Financial Officer; guiding the financial strategy and governance of the company. Her extensive financial background and inspired leadership contributes to the financial health of the Foundation.
Nancy holds a Bachelor of Commerce degree from the University of Calgary and holds her CPA and CMA designations.
The Foundation has a long-standing history of creating strong and vibrant communities and as Western continues to expand its reach across Canada, Nancy looks forward to positively impacting many more communities.
Don Tannas, a loving husband, father, and passionate community leader, joined the Western Communities Foundation as Executive Director in 2004 following his retirement from his 15-year position as Highwood MLA.
When asked to share his favourite Western Communities Foundation memory, Don recalled a story about an active girl who was involved in many school sports until she developed cancer in her leg, which led to the leg having to be amputated. Despite this tragic set back, the girl didn't give up. In fact, she took this as a challenge and worked hard to learn how to walk again. After enduring a lengthy recovery process, she went on to be a part of her school's basketball and volleyball teams and was an active participant in many other school activities.
She volunteered at the rehabilitation hospital in Edmonton meeting with other young amputees, like herself, and encouraged them to always see a silver lining in every situation they are faced with and to become active in their community as part of their healing journey. As an active person herself, she overcame her limitations and became an inspiration to others.
Don is excited about the future of the Foundation and our continued support of community-focused programs.
Jennifer Huard joined the Western Communities Foundation as a Director in March 2016 after being anonymously nominated for the position by a Foundation's senior executive. Jennifer began her career with Western Financial Group in 2006 as a receptionist. Her career trajectory has moved quickly and within a few years she was licensed to sell personal lines and continued to develop her talents to sell commercial and financial services. In 2011, Jennifer became manager of Western's Bassano office, going on to lead our Bow Island and Brooks locations in 2015 and 2017.
On top of her growing career within Western Financial Group, Jennifer has been married for 21 years and is a loving mother of two sons who are both currently attending the University of Alberta.
She believes that our people are extremely lucky to have access to the Foundation, to give back to causes we care about and supporting the communities where we live, work, and play.
Her hope for the future of the Foundation is that it continues to grow and have a positive impact in our communities. Jennifer has made it her personal goal to rally as many Western employees as she can to support the Foundation's efforts.
Joe is the Chief Operating Officer (COO) at Western Financial Group and became a Foundation board director in January 2018. He joined Western in 2012 as the Vice President of Business Development. From that year onward, he has held many roles within Western, including Executive Vice President of Northern Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Central Alberta. He also led the financial services, marketing as well as learning and development groups. He became the COO in 2018.
Joe's journey to Western and the Foundation began with a desire to work for a company which gave back to the local community. With that in mind, Western was a perfect fit — the Foundation was a built-in charity dedicated to local communities. For Joe, the generosity of corporate donors and the stories that come from the Foundation are what stand out for him. One story he recalled was a branch which helped their local curling rink raise money for a new ice-processing machine. The rink's machine had broke, which meant curling slid to a halt. He was impressed by how the branch came together to fundraise, which they kicked off with a $5,000 Infrastructure Grant through the Foundation.
Joe's hope for the Foundation is to increase the level of participation in every branch — it all goes back to supporting the community and continuing the spirit of giving back. Outside of Western, Joe enjoys spending time with his kids, Samantha and Matthew (who are currently in University), and his partner Diana.
Kenny Nicholls is the President and CEO of Western Financial Group. He became a Foundation board director in 2016 to support Western's giving spirit and his own values — giving back to the community has always been important to Kenny.
A move to insurance from accounting, where he started his career, highlighted the value and importance of businesses helping customers and communities — it forms meaningful connections, positive change and a sense of pride in protecting what customers value the most. For Kenny, that's exactly what the Foundation does. He recalls the Foundation's outreach efforts during the 2013 High River floods, and to the city of Humboldt, Saskatchewan in 2018 after the tragic accident involving the Humboldt Broncos hockey team. He's proud the Foundation represents the real character and DNA of Western — making a difference and saying "thanks" to the customers and communities that support us.
Originally from Montreal, Kenny moved to Alberta in 2011 with his family when Desjardins acquired Western. After serving as Western's CFO, Kenny became Western's President and CEO in 2017. The move to Alberta turned a family dream of having an acreage into a reality. During the week, he's steeped in the workings of Western. On the weekend, he tends to his horses and spends time with family.
Kenny hopes the Foundation will grow to a point where each community Western serves will get a yearly bursary and infrastructure grant.
Prior to joining the Western Communities Foundation Board of Directors in March 2016, Linda began her journey with Western Financial Group in 2005 where she supported the Foundation's former executive director, Don Tannas.
Prior to becoming a mother of three and grandmother of five, Linda attended the University of Calgary and has enjoyed diverse careers including being a junior-high school teacher, florist and an administrative assistant. Married to a now retired RCMP member, Linda has lived in several communities across Alberta. This has given her the ability to relate to many of the people and projects that the Foundation supports. Over the years, Linda has read hundreds of Exceptional Achievement nominations, but one story will always stand out to her. The story was about a student who bore the tragic event of her mother's suicide yet went on to graduate high school and continued to post-secondary, letting her strength and determination guide her. Celebrating our country's youth for their exceptional achievements and character and contributing to hundreds of community projects, is extremely important to her.
Working with the Foundation has brought many opportunities for Linda including meeting Mr. Hockey, Gordie Howe, who helped promote the work of the Foundation at two of our annual golf tournaments.

Odor Removal From Pets, Urine, Vomit, ...
Stop! Before you use a commercial product that may damage your carpet or
upholstery, call the experts at Win-Win Cleaning Services.
Besides the horrible smell, pet urine and vomit can cause permanent damage to your carpet and upholstery fabrics. Removal of stains and odors, whether from pets, kids, or a crazy weekend, is a science, and Win-Win Cleaning Services are highly skilled in odor and urine removal.
The pH of "fresh" urine is between 5 and 6, which is on the acidic side. Once dried, urine becomes more alkaline, with a pH of 10 to 12. Fresh urine is easiest to clean. Prompt clean up is ideal, as warm, acidic urine breeds bacteria. As the urine dries, the
ammonia can cause a permanent stain on your carpet or upholstery.
The odor and urine removal experts at Win-Win Cleaning Services will tell you that water can actually WORSEN the odor associated with urine. This is why pet owners experience stronger odors on humid days. We will REMOVE pet urine stains and NEUTRALIZE the odors by utilizing specialized enzymes that consume the odor-causing bacteria, and removing all of the alkaline salt deposits that dried urine leaves.
Welcome to California, home of recreational cannabis/marijuana…and the stink that it brings! The smell of cannabis/marijuana products can really stink things up!

It goes without saying that college studying has major differences from any other stage of life. When studying in college In the course of a college studying program, you can be independent from parents, while at the same time there are lots of troubles common among all students. Basically, it is the primary stage life of an adult which that is includes plenty of choices along with momentous decisions. There is no such a thing as surefire recipe during your college education, as usually you will have to be busy with a lot of relevant exercises simultaneously.
Students can experience a lack of time for tackling areas of studies in an effective fashion. Having entered in a educational establishment, it is a common thing when requirements increase, which for sure requires more work ethic a you are a student. It is significant to allocate your time very in a reasonable manner. It is essential to be well aware of your objectives. Unlike attending high school, once when you are enrolled in a college, you might view it as problematic to incorporate such aspects of life as job, classes and socializing. students should have a sensible understanding over all your perspectives, for scholars will have to submit assignments and allocate some moments for social life as well. Another significant facet of college life is interaction with mates as well as educators. A lack of good interaction can be the ground for misunderstandings along with consequential deteriorated performance.
Really affluent mode of life in the meanwhile college education implies that you are likely to have little time to stick to a healthy eating plan, go in for sports and sleep soundly. An excellent eating plan for every college scholar is similar to that of any other individual. Yet, the priority is to consume whole grain, lean meat, and protein along with vegetables. Scholars are not advised to eat excessive amounts of saturated fats and candies. Physical exercises prove to be particularly essential as they allow to tone up muscular system and get rid of fat as well as reduce stress levels. It is advisable to get into a sports team of your educational establishment or visit a gym routinely. Scholars can at least take stairs instead of an elevator, which is a nice training for any diligent learner. Tuneful college lifestyle is impossible without healthy sleeping routine. With no, you can be at risk of have poor health conditions alongside consequential deteriorated academic grades. Normally, a educational establishment incorporates a health center, where you can obtain useful insights into a healthy way of life.
Writing As an Indispensable Component of College Studies
Writing quality papers like essays might be an difficult undertaking for any learner who experiences a lack of time. When you are writing a research paper during a college studying program, you should also exactly adhere to a range of instructions of your mentor. This is likely to require a enormous amount of time you can put into some other spheres of studies apart from essay writing. For more information check this out a2 coursework.
It is crucial to have a clear understanding of the paper's instructions, otherwise you will not be able to hold on to the guidelines of your lecturer. Students also have to obtain accurate information for research writing. Analyzing only reviewed websites is essentially significant in any writing process. data located on the Internet should be taken from reliable websites that as a matter of course have the following endings: .edu, .org and .gov.
As you are try to locate data for your term paper, you have to avoid politically-biased materials that can be obtained from governmental sites. Students are allowed to consider also commercial websites, however, it is a bottom line to take into account their reliability, for some commercial websites have lots of credible materials irrespectively of their status.
Next, it is vital to think over a compelling thesis statement that has to involve a statement of student's views. The key section of your term paper is supposed to be dedicated to the analysis of the arguments you base the research on. The next stage is writing a comprehensive paper outline that will enable you to explore the theme under consideration and arrange every element into the right order. It is sensible to write a draft first before giving a paper to an tutor, as it will show you the weakest parts and offer areas for further improvement.

Have you ever been out in public and see an electrician out working on something? When you're driving down the road and see the electric company out and about working on power lines. Have you ever lost power at your house, and had to call the electric company for an electrician to come out and look at your electrical box and wiring? Many people pay no mind to an electrician. The truth is, without electricians, we would have no lights, television, no power to live in your home. Electricians deserve a huge pat on the back. They are the backbone to your home, making there is adequate amounts of power going to all your devices and home.
To become an electrician, there are certain requirements that must be met. You must possess a valid driver's license, high school diploma, and you must compete an electrician apprenticeship. An apprenticeship is where you will take a course and learn hands on. You must also have knowledge of deep electrical systems, power generators, blueprints, be able to read technical diagrams, maintenance, and repair. Electricians have so much knowledge on electrical devices. Electricians work on electric equipment in factories, homes, commercial buildings, residential buildings. They work on building that are already standing, or ones that are freshly built and under construction. An electrician's main purpose is to install, maintain and repair, power, lighting, maintain control systems, and electrical communications.
Electricians have to know how to use large electrical loads, use of conduit and have knowledge of wiring. The electrician must know the difference between three phase wiring versus single phase wiring and must be in compliance with the National Electrical Codes. If you are in need of electrical wirings being fixed you can find any, commercial wiring poulsbo wa electrician online in your area. They will come fix all of your commercial electrical issues.
If you, a family member, or anyone else you may know needs an electrician to come out and check your house or company, please make sure to call and make an appointment for a professional electrician to come out and check it out. Electrical is a scary thing to play with. If you don't know what you are doing, you can be seriously hurt, or it could possibly lead to death. Always make sure you call a professional. They are licensed and trained to keep your house or company in a safe environment. When an electrician leaves, you should have all of your electrical needs fixed. Always remember how important, electricians really are. If you see a electrical truck parked on the side of the road, remember they are risking their lives to help others. In my book electricians are angels just like fire firefighters. They leave their family every day to come risk their life to help you, your family, friends, and loved ones. Never try to fix your electrical issues yourself, always call a professional. Next time you cross paths with an electrician, thank them, make them feel worthy, they deserve it.

The Two Keys To Postpartum Nutrition And Support
Posted on
Having a new baby at home can be a wonderful, life-enhancing event— adorable little clothes, sweet baby smell, a profound feeling of connection. But during the six weeks of the "official" postpartum period, being a new mom can take a lot out of you as well. Sometimes that can mean that rather than just being tired, a new mom may be experiencing postpartum depression. This can last anywhere from four weeks after giving birth to up to 30 weeks after the little one has arrived.
Postpartum depression can look like anxiety, fatigue, insomnia, crying spells, poor concentration, or mood swings. Just as during pregnancy, it's very important to continue to eat well and take good care of yourself during this time. Whether or not you choose to breast-feed, your body still needs good nutrition and activity to counteract postpartum mood swings.
If you're experiencing postpartum depression, know that you're not alone: 70-80% of women report feeling some sort of gloominess after the birth of their child(ren). Fortunately, we have some easy-to-implement solutions for you to try out. It's important to also work with your doctor, midwife, or doula to see if other methods of treatment might be in order as well.

When you were pregnant, it's a pretty safe bet that you paid close attention to your nutritional needs and those of your baby. Well done! Postpartum, it's just as important to keep eating well. Take a close look at your diet and really assess what's going on. I know you're tired, but it's crucial that you still take good care of yourself. You not resting or being well-fed will translate to you quickly becoming exhausted, which can directly impact care of your kiddo.
If you're a breast-feeding mom, paying close attention to your nutritional needs is paramount. Most postpartum women are deficient in calcium and zinc. The average mom who nurses is on track to lose around 20% of her lean tissue to cover what nursing eats up if she's only eating the basic recommended daily allowance for protein. Other nutrient areas that dip are vitamins D & E, B6, iron, magnesium, and thiamine.
Bump up your diet with high-quality, grass fed, organic meats, nuts, fruits, and veggies. The nursing mom's ability to metabolize and convert food to fuel is running high. This isn't the time to let go of your good eating habits that were perfected during pregnancy.
It's also not a good time to try and drop weight or cut out food groups to do so. If you're concerned about excess carb consumption, cut out grains and add lots of nutrient-rich veggies and some low-sugar fruits. Protein will help with feelings of satiety and stabilize your blood sugar, preventing crashes from inadequate nutrition.
Two Keys to Postpartum Perfection: Omega-3s and an Active Lifestyle
The University of Kansas Medical Center is conducting studies that show that a diet low in omega-3 fatty acids is linked to postpartum depression. Omega-3 fatty acids help with levels of DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) in your body's tissues and is vital for brain health. Women who have low levels of DHA are at risk for postpartum or perinatal depression.
Adding in or continuing to eat wild salmon, walnuts, egg yolks, chia seeds, and flaxseed will help boost omega-3 levels. Green smoothies or omelets are quick, easy, and delicious meals. Salmon can be eaten for lunch or dinner on a bed of spinach or with a side of broccoli.
If cooking or meal planning feels like too much to add to your plate right now, consider reaching out to your support system to help. Groups of friends can be called upon to arrange meal prep and delivery and usually are more than happy to help out. Add to that an opportunity to hold your cute baby and the offers will likely come pouring in!
In addition to keeping up with good eating habits, exercise and other forms of body care are crucial for keeping postpartum depression at bay. We all know that exercise boosts serotonin. The best way to capture this feel-good hormone's benefits is through daily exercise (that's why an energetic walk boosts your mood).
A 2008 study showed that women who exercised one hour per week at the hospital and then twice at home for a period of three months after giving birth were less inclined to show signs of depression when compared with the control group.
Other forms of self-care include massage and acupuncture. Acupuncture in particular is very effective as an alternative treatment to other postpartum depression solutions like anti-depressants or hormone therapy.
Acupuncture derives from traditional Chinese medicine practices wherein a trained acupuncturist activates points on the body via the use of tiny, thin needles. But don't worry— acupuncture doesn't really hurt and holds substantial benefits, including digestive relief, pain relief, and lessening of depression.
This time in your and your baby's lives is wonderful and exhausting, so treat yourself as gently as you would a friend you love. Some days it can be difficult to get going in the morning, much less have a shower or cook a meal for yourself. That's okay. Everything you're doing is for the baby's benefit, and you taking good care of yourself will only help that.
If you notice any signs of postpartum depression, like inability to sleep, fatigue, periods of crying, lack of focus, erratic moods, or anxiety, it's imperative to get support. Know that you're not alone— as many as 15% of other moms are going through the same thing. Help for postpartum depression is available and readily accessible. Speak to your midwife, doula, naturopath, doctor, or therapist and seek out the aid of those who can help with immediate solutions.
Consider joining a group of other new moms as a means to find encouragement, and talk to your friends or partner about what you're experiencing. Just like the instructions for the use of oxygen masks on an airplane, you can't help others if you don't help yourself first.
So make self-care a high priority. Doing so will only help enhance your postpartum experience, and by causality, that of your baby as well.

Day 422
Where will you find the only comic book superhero museum in the country? If you said The Smithsonian in Washington, D.C., you are wrong.
It is in Goshen, Indiana. Run by Allen Stewart, whom we met today. Stewart is a 46 year old realtor who began collecting comic books as a youth. His collection became so large, he build a building behind his house to house these treasures. The museum is designed to look like the Hall of Justice building featured in the 1970s cartoon, "Super Friends."
More than 65,000 superhero comic books and thousands of superhero action figures can be found, including the original Batman suit worn by Adam West in the TV series, above, and this original costume from the Greatest American Hero, worn by William Katt.
Stewart, who graduated from Indiana University at South Bend with degrees in history and teaching, is one of the nation's foremost historians of comic books.

I had worked with two colleagues to develop a solution to the question of "what does agency look like in a ever-more automated city". We all selected images from other artists that had created work similar or related to our work. We had agreed on style and characteristics and created image samples for the presentation. I put it into a power point and saved as a PDF. One member had written down ideas of language choice and approach to the descriptions of our work which I incorporated in the notes section of the presentation.
I was very nervous the day of our pitch and was quite happy that one other group member was able to put work aside to present with me. The first group presented a vision for the first brief, then we were able to present. The company was very polite and engaging with the group prior to our presentation, which gave me some hope that I wouldn't be hung out to dry.
My team member and I switched off presenting our material, and I was happy to get through it. We were given very positive feedback about our work, with comments which indicated that they could be some interest in working together further. I am writing the very abbreviated version of this story, so in short, people who watched the exchange believed that our concepts and images would be the start of contracted work.
After our presentation, the company which we presented to asked for a pdf of our work as they wanted to get in touch with us and give more feedback. I did hear back from the company who said, basically, thanks but no thanks. I have to admit disappointment, and a little confusion. I understand that finding the best creative match is highly individual, and that there was no obligation on the part of the company to do anything other than look at our work. It was just a bit off putting to get really great feedback publicly, then be quietly rejected privately. I have a theory: As the pitches were open for any student to observe, the company reps were restrained from giving specific, and pointed feedback. The nature of the set up may have inadvertently created an environment where the feedback becomes falsely positive. I would recommend that Falmouth consider offering this opportunity again, but that the feedback sessions with the companies would be private.
So, what did I gain? I really enjoyed working with two other students who I might not have gotten to know otherwise. I appreciated the camaraderie and laughs we shared, as well as the challenges of creating a shared vision. I had to push myself technically to produce professional quality blended images using Photoshop. I learn best by doing and am making some significant gains in my Photoshop capability. In addition, I also learned how to create a pitch from a brief, and how to pitch work. I will be pitching a visual project at work and be using a lot of what I learned in this term.

Lawyer Behind Bars Loses Bid for Jigsaw Puzzle
BROOKLYN, N.Y. (CN) – A lawyer convicted of stock fraud failed to convince a federal judge that the jail warden improperly and inexplicably kept him from obtaining a jigsaw puzzle.
Alan Berkun, who is serving six years in prison for securities fraud, said his family tried to order him the puzzle from Amazon.com, but Warden Duke Terrell at Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center invoked a regulation that limits access to hobby crafts.
Berkun filed a federal complaint against the warden on First Amendment grounds.
U.S. District Judge John Gleeson found Monday that the decision may have been unexplained, but it did not violate the Constitution.
"Here, the government has failed to articulate a reason for the prison's refusal to allow Berkun to obtain a jigsaw puzzle," Gleeson wrote. "It merely references the BOP regulations allowing prison officials to restrict access to personal property. But it is tautological to say that the justification for restricting a prisoner's access to personal property is that prisons may restrict prisoners' access to personal property. While I do not doubt that there are legitimate penological interests that justify restricting inmates' access to recreational items such as jigsaw puzzles, the government has not explained what those interests are.
"However, that does not mean that Berkun is entitled to the relief he seeks."
Berkun can blame Turney v. Safley, a 1987 decision from the U.S. Supreme Court that stopped prisons from banning marriage behind bars, for frustrating the right to puzzles.
"Turner applies to restrictions that impinge on prisoners' constitutional rights," Gleeson wrote. "If a restriction does not affect a constitutional right, then it need not be subjected to analysis under Turner at all. Thus, to obtain relief Berkun must demonstrate that he has a constitutionally-protected interest in possessing a jigsaw puzzle."
The 14-page order continues later: "Berkun has failed to show that his possession of a jigsaw puzzle is expressive and therefore constitutionally protected. A jigsaw puzzle generally consists of an image that has been broken into a number of pieces, which are then reassembled. Even if the reassembled image itself were protected by the First Amendment, Berkun has not shown how the act of assembling the pieces is in any way expressive conduct. I therefore conclude that he has not met his burden of showing that the denial of his request to receive a jigsaw puzzle violated any constitutional right."
Gleeson also disagreed that the recent ban is made arbitrary by Berkun's history of piecing together smaller puzzles in the same prison.
"[Berkun] argues that there is no valid reason to limit him from receiving a jigsaw puzzle in the mail because he already received a smaller jigsaw puzzle without any apparent difficulties," the order states. "But the fact that he received one puzzle, apparently in error, does not mean that prison authorities must allow him to receive another puzzle. Prison authorities may restrict access to items even though the prison mail room has the capacity to receive and screen them."
Berkun is serving the rest of his sentence at a federal prison in Miami, which is subject to the same regulations.

Because my life is not so much in the hardcore running and training stage right now because well you know… children… I wanted to put together a few ideas for anyone who may enjoy as it is the season! Some of these items are my favorite things or are things that I've found that are awesome over this past year and added to my collection. This may be the most random gift guide to ever grace the internet, so enjoy.
Kate Somerville Face Wash/Toner/Moisturizer – So right before my 31st birthday this year I decided it was time to up my game in the face wash department… I mean I'm not a 15 year old and maybe using clean and clear wasn't in my best interest long term. I started this face wash and love it. I have pretty normal skin and this has really helped. My skin feels soft, super clean and I think the routine of doing all 3 has helped tremendously. I love the smell and it doesn't dry out my skin at all. I also LOVE this mask – it feels awesome and really shluffs off the old skin. I have the small version and already have gotten a ton of uses out of it.
Divvies Cookies – These would be perfect for your allergic friend who has a sweet tooth! These may only be local to me, but I'm OBSESSED with these cookies and when you're pregnant… you get to treat yourself! ;) Check out their where to find us tab. The cookie sandwiches are my favorite!
Saje Peppermint Halo Rollerball – I recently got the opportunity to try this brand and a few of their products at the Malibu Marathon and let me tell you… this has quickly become an addiction. I put it on before bed and when I know I will be in a situation where I might have heightened stress or tension, like driving to LA at 8:00 am, and it really helps relax me.
OPI Chip Skip Nail Polish – So I go back and forth between not biting my nails and biting them down to nothing, which is terrible. I have been working to keep them polished because I bite them way less that way. This polish is MAGICAL! It works so well and usually chips are my biggest problem. I even take this with me to the nail place when I get a manicure.
Milky Piggy Bubble Mask – This is probably one of the most random finds of the year, but a gem none the less. It's a face mask that really is more fun that I feel like it 'does something' and would be great for a spa night with friends! Just a warning though, be prepared to look like Shrek when the mask is finally bubbled up.
Coffee Mug Sleeve and matching baby headband – So I got this last year and loved it! I have busted it back out for this Christmas season and it's perfectly adorned my red cup. Her shop has so many other cute options too!
Saucony Zealot Reflex – I LOVE These shoes and they are also totally reflective which is awesome when running at night, which I haven't used them to run, but only walk in lately and they offer so much comfort and support and are perfect in the nighttime seasons.
So… enjoy a few of my favorite things and Merry almost Christmas!

ENGIE, an independent power producer is set to fuel several of Cote d'Ivore's buses with compressed natural gas, as the West African nation moves to combat climate change.
Cote d'Ivore's Minister of Transport, Mr Amadou Kone, and several government Ministers gathered this month to launch the ground-breaking initiative as part of the country's commitment to the Paris COP 21 agreement.
The Paris Agreement is a treaty within the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), dealing with greenhouse-gas-emissions mitigation, adaptation and finance.
In line with this agreement, Minister Kone has unveiled a fleet of buses commissioned by the Société des Transports Abidjanais (SOTRA), supplied by IVECO and fuelled by compressed natural gas. ENGIE and Tractebel, an engineering consultancy, collaborated to engineer, supply and install the first ever compressed natural gas (CNG) fuelling station in Abidjan.
The CNG fuelling station is located on in Yopougon, Abidjan, and will facilitate the operation of the new range of compressed natural gas buses.
ENGIE and Tractebel have a unique level of expertise and a local presence that was vital to the success of the venture. They are specialists in delivering infrastructures which provide alternative fuels for green mobility solutions.
The Abidjan station is the first stage in the Ivorian government and public transportation companies plan to increase the number of CNG buses and ensure that the region is working towards fulfilling its commitment to the COP 21 agreement.
More importantly, it will lead the way for other African countries that are keen to further embrace clean technologies. Countries including Ghana, Togo, Benin and Cameroon are monitoring the success of the initiative with the intention of replicating the project.
The particle emission levels will be nearly zero, and their Nitrogen Oxide emissions will be reduced by 60%. The buses will serve within Abidjan's wider urban area.

What are some family fun activities to do on a budget?
Welcome to the intentional family moment. Take a moment with us as we discuss our thoughts on your family related questions. Then join us in our weekly challenge as we work together to become more intentional in our families.
This is Episode 14, hosted by married Coriaria founders Brent and Michelle. This episode is brought to you by Everflect – Your couple's council assistant. Learn more at Everflect.com.
Today's question is: What are some family fun activities to do on a budget?
I think a lot of this is going to depend on the ages of those involved and what your budget is because a million dollars could be a budget but be very big budget.
I think the easy cop out is to say, well, we have a pinterest full of ideas and we have a website full of ideas, but I think it'd be more fun to talk about examples that we have really enjoyed or in general, how you can take any activity as simple as going to the park and make it more intentional.
I think that something that comes to mind first and foremost is that frequently when we're having a hard time choosing what to do, whether that's a meal or an activity or something else, I think that it is that we might have too many choices, and we have difficulty trying to constrain down what we're going to focus. Something that I think has been helpful for us is to ask the twenty percent of everything question, which is that there's five or six categories of things that we consider, things like social, intellectual, creative, service, physical, or spiritual, different activities that could fall into those buckets. And so when we're trying to choose something to do, we start by choosing one of those categories. That helps us to narrow it down into what we are going to consider as an activity.
So some of those are pretty easy go-tos when you're talking about budget, because almost anything service related is going to be time spent in a charity time helping a neighbor in their yard. The other categories are a little bit harder to make sure that you stay in the right balance financially.
Yeah, it can be. I do think that there's this concept of a "naturehood" that gets talked about for physical activities, that there's a surprising amount of green space in many places. I'm speaking about the United States, but I feel like this would apply broadly anywhere where there are parks and other things that can be pretty close to where people live. And if you go and look for them, then you might find that a lot of them would be free activities right out of the gate.
And you can take those and turn them into more intentional. More than just going to the park. You can create a scavenger hunt for any age, really, but especially for toddler/Elementary School age kids, it's kind of fun to do stuff like that. Same goes for other free options in neighborhoods like libraries. There's a lot of fun things you can do at the library for free. More than just going to look at books. A typical date night example is to go and find a couple books that you think describe the other person or to share your favorite childhood books. Or so you could do a scavenger hunt. The library, too. There's lots of different options to turn a typical experience into something a little more intentional.
Something that can also be a lot of fun on a budget, If we're talking about actually spending money because many of these activities we've discussed would be basically free if you have a pretty tight budget. But you're still interested in spending that on an activity, something that can be fun is to split up whatever the amount of money happens to be, and to come up with some competition based on using that resource. So it could be going to a thrift shop and seeing who can find the coolest thing. And you don't have to buy the thing necessarily. You know, maybe it's just whoever finds the coolest item at the garage sale.
Another option would be to see how far can you make that money go in a service activity. If you're going to, you know, take the time to go and serve some place. Would it be possible to maybe brainstorm different things that they could need that you'd be able to then purchase with those resources. There are a lot of things that you can consider in ways that you can divide that up. But ultimately, making it into a competition can be a lot of fun.
You can also take what you already have budgeted for things that you need and turn that into something intentional. For example, we just bought pajamas for our child because they outgrew them. But we specifically chose pajamas that were related to a current holiday, and that became almost like a dress up. And so it became an activity, and it ended up that we put on a play of sorts in the musical, all because of something that was already planned in the budget. And so that one was a little bit less intentional. What if you decided to do something like that intentionally? To create a bigger experience out of something that you're already planning that could make a difference, to even as simple as making dinner. So how can you turn that into a cooking competition or something along those lines?
So what would be a great activity or challenge for this week?
Maybe to think of something that you already have planned or budgeted and to turn it into something more intentional and creative, and to share that idea with us so that we can turn around and give that idea to other listeners.
Absolutely. I think at the heart of a lot of these activities is the meaningful activity is not something that requires a whole lot of money. It's instead a matter of intentionality and especially trying to be intentional, informing those connections with the people that we love most. So we encourage you to get out there and try that. Share what works and what doesn't, and we look forward to hearing from you.
Thank you for joining us. Now go home and change the world by being more intentional with your family.

Mindfulness can cause panic, depression and anxiety, participants report
- |
Mindfulness is increasingly becoming the relaxation method of choice, used not only by individuals but by employers and health services.
Despite claims that the practice, which involves being still and focusing on one's breathing and thoughts, can help to tackle stress and depression, critics have attested to its negative effects - suggesting that it is not simply a harmless way to unwind.
Dr Peter Jones of truthXchange has spoken about the Buddhist roots of mindfulness, explaining that the process of meditation, which effectively silences the conscience, actually creates a mindset "very opposite to the Christian faith".
Studies have also shown that mindfulness can cause adverse effects. In 1992, one researcher, David Shapiro of the University of California, Irvine, found that 7% of those who practiced mindfulness experienced serious negative reactions, such as panic and depression.
Several people have described their personal negative experiences of mindfulness, reporting these same feelings of panic, depression and anxiety.
'Rising panic'
Writing for the Guardian, Dawn Foster reported that she tried mindfulness at work, but found her experience to be the opposite of the intended effect.
In the article, she describes the discomfort she experienced while meditating, as she found herself suddenly unable to breathe:
"I feel a rising panic and worry that I might pass out, my mind racing. Then we're told to open our eyes and the feeling dissipates. I look around. No one else appears to have felt they were facing imminent death. What just happened?"
The effects, she said, lasted for days afterward, leaving her with a "permanent tension headache" and constant unease.
"The fact that something seemingly benign, positive and hugely popular had such a profound effect has taken me by surprise", she said.
Despite the popularity of mindfulness, with large corporations such as Google, Apple and Ikea adopting it to 'benefit' their employees, Ms Foster said that she found it anything but helpful.
Even a year later, she said that the memory of the experience brings a "resurgent wave of panic and tightness in [her] chest".
For others, the consequences have proved yet more serious.
Claire, who went on a mindfulness course as part of work training, found that, despite the initial feeling of relaxation, the meditation soon brought up childhood trauma, which triggered a severe psychological reaction.
"Somehow, the course triggered things I had previously got over," Claire said. "I had a breakdown and spent three months in a psychiatric unit. It was a depressive breakdown with psychotic elements related to the trauma, and several dissociative episodes".
Mindfulness and the loss of self
Christian thinkers have argued that the problems with mindfulness are linked to its roots in pagan religions.
Dr Joe Boot has explained that at the heart of mindfulness is the Buddhist teaching of 'cessation', "in which mental afflictions are removed because the illusion of the 'self' is uprooted".
"There is no true 'I'," he writes, "and this realisation liberates us from any sense of sin, shame, fear or even desire."
He explains that mindfulness ultimately cannot offer true peace, because it does not deal with the core "human problem" of sin.
"Our minds are not fragments of pure consciousness, but each an individual aspect of created spiritual reality, embodied in the human person. Our problems are not only metaphysical – that we are alienated from pure consciousness. The human problem is moral. Our problem is sin."
Wholeness of mind, Dr Boot argues, is found instead in the salvation offered by Christ and the redeeming nature of his love:
"The cure is in facing ourselves and our sins, and by repentance and faith being reconciled to God. In fellowship with God through Jesus Christ, the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Spirit, where perfect love casts out fear. The rule of God in our lives is productive of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit, who is with us forever."

Today's my birthday and I'm 36. I don't even care that I'm 36. I haven't cared how old I was since I turned 25 and got cheaper car insurance. You know what's awesome about being 36? You can do any damn thing you want, you're a full grown adult and you can get excited about your 401K. So, who cares, right?
Tonight, much like I've done every year, I'm going to spend time with my family, both by marriage and by choice, and just be. You can do that at 36, too.
You can do this at 3:
I'm very thankful for a lot of things at 36 years old.
- I have a wife that I'm pretty sure hung the moon. She did, however, refuse to lick my face the other night, which was annoying because I was pretty sure my face tasted like sugar and I didn't want to think I was crazy and now I'll never know!
- I have a 16 year old that's growing into this amazing, compassionate and hilarious man and it's nuts to be able to see how much he's grown since I met him about six years ago.
- I have a wonderful set of parents. I know they question my decisions and might not even fully understand things, but I feel like I always have their support, even if we don't always talk about or acknowledge things. I know they're always there for me.
- I have incredible grandparents, both alive and not, that have taught me about service, unconditional love, warmth and all of the other qualities I hold so close.
- I have balls to the walls friends, both near and far, from teenagers to grandparents, all of whom I love like family.
- I have a stellar job that allows me so much growth and exploration of what I want to do and how I want to do it. It also comes with super co-workers and excellent health insurance, not to mention 100% 401K match!
- Lots of other stuff, too, you know?
Happy birthday to me. Thank you, dear reader, for being here for this one, all the one before (which were probably hot messes from time to time!) and all the ones to come.

It's been pretty busy around here, but despite the new baby and my computer falling apart I was able to put together a few nice changes. In addition to a number of visual updates and quality of life changes, there is a new item which will let you repeat your last craft or build command and a peaceful mob that likes to mine in the underworld. The new item can't be crafted so you'll have to find it in treasure chests (or maybe the new mob drops it..). Read on for more changes.
Mythic Builder: Will automatically craft or build the last thing you made as long as you have the resources for it (doesn't apply to knitting). This can be used to quickly place a line of walls, or since it works with the auto-swing feature, save your hand from breaking from too many button presses during a big crafting session. Has limited uses like a bandage so stock up if you can.
Arcadian Miner: Wont attack first, just likes to walk around and mine the walls. If you do decide to disturb him he wont be too difficult, but he does have a strong self heal if he feels threatened. Has also been known to get angry and destroy repair kits.
Some other changes:
- Added a quick button toggle for PVP Damage to the character menu (works the same as /pvp)
- Font size increased on all buttons for readability.
- Visual updates to status bars, hp bars, and buttons.
- HP bars for anyone other than yourself are colored differently.
- Fixed the bug where HP could go outside the bounds of the bar.
- Most mobs now have a simple attack animation rather than standing still.
- Fixed a bug where mobs would face the wrong way when attacking sometimes.
- There is a 'Lost Password' link directly on the login page.
- Diamonds can now be purchased with a link in game (no site log in required).
- The Player Guide is linked from the help section.
Another change to be aware of is that now whenever a tower receives decay damage one of its arrows will decay as well. This wont happen too frequently thanks to the change that limits decay hits over time, but it will create a bit more maintenance for huge tower lines and give raiders a slight boost against stagnant bases.
I'm still working on some new exciting features and will continue making changes in the background so please report any issues you find. I'm also still investigating some reports with network stability so let me know if you have any helpful information regarding that. As always thanks so much for your support. Have fun!
Edit (bonus changes):
- changed other player hp bars to be colored differently than mobs (your character's hp bar is still green)
- added /ping command which works like /fps, checks your ping every few seconds and displays it
- moved skill exp bar down a couple pixels
- fixed hp bars still going out of bounds on bandage heals
- made it so beds don't show hp bars for fully healed sleepers
- repair kits can now load 50 arrows at a time into up to 3 towers in front of you
- the towers must be repaired first, will be automatically turned on, and it wont take repair uses or resources
- added /take [amount] command to get arrows back out of your towers
- water buckets now get 3 uses of pouring before needing a refill
- water buckets can put out fires (not fire pits)
- fixed bug so pets save their stats through server reboots, now they will stay deadly after training!
