The Cooper Institute has been extraordinarily fortunate to have Board of Trustees rosters that have been laden with very high profile achievers not only in their specific professional disciplines but also within their community and their respective philanthropic intents. The current Board is no different as is exemplified in recent awards that have been bestowed upon three of our trustees in 2007. [See our current Board of Trustees.]
The 2007 Woodrow Wilson Public Service Award
Dr. Kenneth Cooper, founder and chairman of the board of The Cooper Institute, has been named recipient of the 2007 Woodrow Wilson Public Service Award. This award is given by the Washington D.C.-based Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars of the Smithsonian, a nonpartisan institution that explores national and global issues. The award is given to individuals who have served with distinction in public service and have shown a special commitment to seeking out informed opinions and thoughtful views in the public interest.
Dr. Cooper will be joining other prominent Texans who are past Woodrow Wilson Award Award winners; among them, Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, The Honorable Ron Kirk, Joseph Goldstein a Nobel Prize recipient and fellow Cooper Institute trustee from UT Southwestern Medical Center, the late Raymond Nasher and Gov. Rick Perry.
The 2007 Horatio Alger Award
Roger Staubach, longtime Institute trustee, is one of 10 recipients of the 2007 Horatio Alger Award, as the Horatio Alger Association celebrates its 60th anniversary. This award is given to those who have overcome adversity to achieve great success through the American free enterprise system. The award and its annual recipients serve as models and reminders to our country's youth that America still is the land of boundless opportunity for anyone.
As a U.S. Naval Academy graduate and then Hall of Fame quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys, Mr. Staubach founded and is now chairman of an international, Dallas-based commercial real estate company, The Staubach Company.
The 2007 Linz Award
Ray Hunt, chairman of the Hunt Oil Company and a Cooper Institute Board of Trustees member for over 20 years, has been named the 2007 recipient of the 78th annual Linz Award. Sponsored by the Dallas Morning News and the Zale Corporation, the award is given annually to a Dallas County resident whose civic and/or humanitarian efforts have benefited and impacted the lives of Dallas County residents over at least a 10-year period.
While many of Mr. Hunt's contributions to the city of Dallas are numerous and well documented, he has a preference for quietly going about the business of giving back to his community without pomp and fanfare and does so on a regular basis.
We salute these three gentlemen, thank them for their tireless efforts for so many causes, and consider it a privilege to have them as an integral part of our governing Board of Trustees.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) on Wednesday will impose an indefinite moratorium on carrying out the death penalty, arguing that the cost, finality and racial imbalance among death-row inmates make the punishment immoral and a public policy "failure," according to planned remarks released by his office.
"I do not believe that a civilized society can claim to be a leader in the world as long as its government continues to sanction the premeditated and discriminatory execution of its people," Newsom plans to say. "In short, the death penalty is inconsistent with our bedrock values and strikes at the very heart of what it means to be a Californian."
His plans prompted a sharp rebuke from President Trump on Wednesday morning.
"Defying voters, the Governor of California will halt all death penalty executions of 737 stone cold killers," the president wrote in a tweet. "Friends and families of the always forgotten VICTIMS are not thrilled, and neither am I!"
Newsom, who took office in January after serving eight years as the state's lieutenant governor, has long opposed the death penalty. He is Catholic, and his faith has sometimes guided his policy decisions, including his long-standing opposition to capital punishment.
He also has gone against the Catholic Church on other policy matters, most notably as a champion of same-sex marriage as San Francisco's mayor and through his time in state office.
As part of his remarks Wednesday, Newsom plans to say that "The intentional killing of another person is wrong. And as Governor, I will not oversee the execution of any individual."
No executions are scheduled in California. The state last carried out an execution in 2006 when Clarence Ray Allen, a 76-year-old diabetic convicted two decades earlier of triple murder, was put to death.
California has proposed changing its lethal drug protocol, and a judge is reviewing the change amid legal challenges.
Twenty-five death row inmates in the state have exhausted their legal appeals.
Despite California's reputation as a liberal bastion, the nation's most populous state also has by far its largest death row population. The inmates are more than double the population of the second-largest death row, in Florida.
Even as California has shifted left on several criminal justice issues, voters have chosen to retain capital punishment, rejecting a 2016 state ballot measure to abolish it. In that same election, state voters narrowly approved a measure to speed up the pace of executions by limiting the time for appeals to five years.
Given its size, any change to California's death row carries immediate implications for the status of American capital punishment. Newsom's order comes as the punishment is on the decline nationwide, with executions less common and fewer states carrying them out. Last year, 25 people were executed, significantly down from the 98 executions nationwide in 1999.
Governors in Pennsylvania and Oregon have announced their own moratoriums on the death penalty. Washington state had been under a similar moratorium, and last year its Supreme Court struck down the death penalty there as "arbitrary and racially biased."
Lawmakers, courts or both have abandoned the death penalty in Maryland, Connecticut and Illinois, among other states, in recent years. Elsewhere, officials have struggled to obtain drugs for lethal injections in the face of intense opposition from pharmaceutical companies .
Some states have begun looking to other methods besides lethal injection, the country's primary method of execution. Tennessee used the electric chair twice last year and Utah made the firing squad its backup method of execution. Oklahoma has said it will use nitrogen gas for all executions going forward, an unprecedented move.
About 60 percent of California's death row inmates are people of color, and a number of studies have shown that those convicted of killing a white person are far more likely to face execution than those who kill African Americans and Latinos.
Newsom will cite the fact that many of those executed in the past year nationwide have had mental impairments, and that over the past 45 years, 164 death-row inmates have later been found innocent of their crimes and released. Five of those cases occurred in California.
Taking those issues together, Newsom will declare that the policy "has been — by any measure — a failure," placing him at odds with President Trump, who has repeatedly called for the death penalty after mass shootings and terrorist attacks.
California has spent more than $5 billion since 1978 on its death penalty program.
"It has discriminated against defendants who are mentally ill, black and brown, or can't afford expensive legal representation," Newsom plans to say. "It has provided no public safety benefit or value as a deterrent. It has wasted billions of taxpayer dollars. But most of all, the death penalty is absolute. Irreversible and irreparable in the event of human error."

As voting day is pretty much upon us now I thought I'd write a little post about my dilemma/frustration about this particular election.
Firstly, I'd like to quickly mention that the featured image for this post (also below) was conceived and expertly drawn by a friend from my hometown – Calum A.B. McMillan. He's been drawing for years and I particularly like this political piece. I know some very talented people 🙂
For me this election has been the one with the most urgency and also the one that (from my experience) my generation has been the most involved in yet. Everywhere I turn people are being urged to vote and take part in political discussions (which is great!) and I've personally done more research in the run up to this election than any other.
There is one thing, however, that greatly disheartens me and leads me to believe that all of this research and discussion will ultimately be useless. In my opinion, and particularly in the past few years, there is no point in voting for anyone other than the SNP in Scotland. Every other party is so dramatically behind the SNP in all of the polls and also in previous elections. If you're passionate about Labour regaining power or the policies of the Liberal Democrats you have to make the decision between voting for the party whose policies you're passionate about and, therefore, essentially wasting your vote or going with the masses and voting SNP.
Now don't get me wrong, I actually agree with the majority of the SNP's policies. I read most of them through the other day. I particularly agree with their proposition to halt UK arms exports to Saudi Arabia immediately, BUT I think that their rhetoric is often preoccupied with referendum talks. I would, personally, be far more impressed with them if they focused on politics first and foremost whilst making plans for a second independence referendum on the back burner.
By voting SNP Scottish people are clearly expressing their wish to have people who are primarily concerned with Scottish issues in the House of Commons. I don't disagree with that, but it does remove a massive chunk of what used to be, majoritively, a Labour stronghold (worth noting that SNP oppositions do seem to be changing a little). What does this do? It increases the likelihood of the Conservatives achieving a majority. We have had a Conservative government for roughly seven years now and, personally, I look forward to the day they fall from power. Unfortunately, despite the abomination that has been Theresa May's campaign, that doesn't look to be any time soon and I feel relatively powerless to stop it.
I'm going to play devil's advocate here because I think it should be mentioned, the massive success of the SNP in Scotland does also block the Conservatives from gaining many seats in Scotland, so in that interpretation it makes the possibility of the Tories winning a majority a bit less likely.
To be honest, I'm confused, and it has taken me a long while to decide who I want to vote for. My main point is that in Scotland it is relatively certain that the SNP will win most seats. My advice to anyone in England who wants to see the Tories out is to put their personal views with regards to which specific progressive party they prefer to one side and vote for the Tories' main, progressive opposition. Blocking them from seats is the only way to deny them a majority. Basically, everyone needs to USE THEIR VOTE!
This was more thoughtful than usual and I'm aware that this post could open me up to some criticism. So I'll end by saying I completely respect everyone's individual views, these are just my own. I'm not in any way trying to tell anybody who to vote for. Just stating what will probably be the most effective choice for those who are similarly minded to me!
Also if any of my politics is like straight up incorrect please let me know as I'm no expert but trying to learn!
Until next time,
J x


text: Nigeria is Africa's most populous country, a designation it wears with pride. It had more than 182m citizens in 2015, according to the World Bank, and is poised to have the world's third-largest population, behind India and China, by 2050. But that figure and the extrapolation are based on Nigeria's 2006 census, which was probably exaggerated. Parliamentary seats and central government money are handed out to states based on population, giving politicians an incentive to inflate the numbers. In 2013 the head of the National Population Commission (NPC), Festus Odimegwu, said that neither the 2006 census nor any previous one had been accurate. He resigned soon after (the then-government said he was fired).

The first step in purchasing or selling your home is to find a realtor that you feel comfortable with and communicates well with you. When selecting a Realtor, knowing who the Realtor really represents is very important. A listing agent really represents the seller. Can a listing agent represent both the seller and buyer? Yes, but is that the right choice. A buyer's agent only represents the buyer. During our introduction meeting, we will discuss the different agent relationships. We will also identify your needs and wants.
The Financial Process
This is the second most important topic to discuss. We will discuss why this is important, how you can go about being pre-approved, and what will be the impact on your credit score. If not being at least pre-qualified, you may end up wasting a lot of your time looking for your new home. I will help you find the right mortgage person/company for your needs
Resales - Short Sales - Foreclosures
We will be happy to discuss the pros and cons of each.
The Contract Process
We will review the contract, the seller's disclosure, the initial deposit, selecting an attorney, and how a contract is processed including the different stages of the contract.
The Contract was accepted - now what?
There are additional deposits, inspections, title insurance, homeowners insurance, home protection plan, and much more.
The Closing
This part of the buying process includes the mortgage commitment, walk-throughs, attending the closing, and how I and Coldwell Banker work with you after you have purchased your new home. Don't forget to ask me about our free HomeBase management system.
This is also a very important step in buying or selling a home. The realtor and future home buyer or seller get to meet each other, ask questions, set a plan of action and much more.
We are Internet Proficient and able to communicate with you wherever you are via e-mail, e-fax, e-signature, texting, and creating a web page if needed.

Here's one guy who knows where he wants to go. With him is a caretaker, very discreet and quiet, as if hoping to balance out the outré nature of his charge. "JEFFERSON AND BROADWAY," the fellow repeats, crinkling plastic while he sits down, slurring out the location as best he can.
I get on the mic as we approach the zone: "Coming up next is,"
"Like the man said, Jefferson and Broadway, our stop for Swedish main campus..." I wish I could say I timed it perfectly, but it was just slightly off. We're in the real world, after all.
In the gospel tradition of call-and-response preaching patterns, I buoy up his declarations:
"Oh yeah,"
"Uh-huh, you got that right,"
"Gettin' it said-"
"There it is," I say as we reach the highly anticipated location.
"JEFFERSON AND BROADWAY," he roars, by way of thanks.
Suddenly he loses all motor skills in his arms and legs, and has to be dragged off bodily by his able caretaker, clunking down the steps. I get the impression they've done this before. The caretaker looks at me with a rueful smile, shaking his head when I offer to help. "JEFFERSON AND..."
There's Mo, driving the 3 on the other side, in the Central District. He pulls alongside opposite my 4 and leans out his window. He's smiling. He says, "this is so much fun!"
"I think so too!"
"Only for us though!"
"Yeah, probably just you and me!"
And some other operators, of course. It's an acquired taste.

5 Ways to Avoid Being Eaten by Bears
When discussing thru-hikes safety is always a primary concern. Many hikers get asked whether they are carrying a fire-arm or not, but few rarely do.
So, if I'm not taking a gun what I going to do about my safety? I decided to research other ways to avoid wildlife troubles and being eaten by most of them, or more specifically, bears.
5 ways to help prevent this disaster:
1.) Sleep with your food in your tent: if that bear wants your food he'll have to fight you for it! Chances are, after hiking 2-300 miles, your inflated ego coupled with your new, emerging muscles will turn you into what you believe is the next Chuck Norris…if not, I'm sure your banshee screaming will do the trick.
2.) Be Tarzan: that's right, if your Chuck Norris moves fail – climb a tree! If he follows you up you can simply swing with ease from tree to tree while the poor bear climbs down one and up the other in a futile attempt to catch dinner.
3.) Paint with all the colors of the wind: if Tarzan doesn't work maybe Pocahontas is more your style. Pet him on the head and give him a hug. You could even tell him how cute he is…"He's so fluffy I'm gonna' die!"
4.) Take a selfie: this has become the newest fad with wild animals and its pretty obvious why. Let's be honest, they are so photogenic and selfies with moose and bears are pretty awesome. And as if that's not enough, they have feelings too. Don't you think they want the picture of them and their new snack- I mean best friend- to be the new internet sensation? Say cheese!
5.) Trip your hiking companion and run the other way: even bears can only eat so much at a time. If all else has failed and it comes down to you and a fellow hiker you should definitely go with the former. If you happen to be hiking that section of the trail all alone I'm sorry…who would you like your fellow hikers to notify when they find your body (if they find your body)? Perhaps you should have that list somewhere in your pack (not in your pants because its possible they won't be found either).
Ok, reality check
Ok, ok, ok. If you actually read all the way through this list I hope you laughed at least once. I'm sure it didn't take long to figure out it is satire. But, if you happen to fall into that 2% of the really-not-so-bright population, I'm telling you now: please don't actually try the above 5 things because I was kidding….and you might actually get eaten.
Safety is a big concern on this trip and I don't want to minimize its importance, but I can't help having a few laughs during this planning process. Hope some of ya'll do too.

Fliers face flight woes Saturday as winter storm heads north
Air travelers faced another day of delays and cancellations Saturday as an early-season winter storm moved from the South toward the Northeast. All big airlines were waiving changes for flights to a number of destinations across the East.
Nationwide, nearly 860 flights had been canceled and another 4,600 delayed as of 7:45 p.m. ET, according to flight-tracking service FlightAware.
FLIGHT TRACKER: Is your flight on time?
For the second day in a row, Atlanta's airport was the hardest hit. More than 415 flights had been canceled there so far on Saturday. With that total, about one out of every five flights in Atlanta had been canceled for Saturday. On Friday, nearly 1,200 flights there were canceled -- are more than 40% of the schedule.
The Atlanta disruptions were particularly troublesome for Delta Air Lines, which operates its busiest hub at the airport.
FRIDAY: Snow in Atlanta! Flight cancellations spike as storm intensifies (story continues below)
"Prolonged wintry precipitation and plunging temperatures continue to adversely affect Delta's hub operation in Atlanta," the carrier said Saturday morning. Delta said the storm forced it to cancel 970 flights Friday close to 300 so far Saturday.
Southwest, the No. 2 carrier in Atlanta, also has been forced to cancel more than 130 flights across the nation on both Friday and Saturday.
By Saturday morning, the travel woes had expanded beyond the South. By mid-morning, snow had begun to fall in New York, Washington, Baltimore, Boston and Philadelphia. Snow totals were forecast to be less than 6 inches for most of the region, a relatively modest amount for a region used to wintry precipitation. Still, the weather was causing problems at airports.
At the Baltimore/Washington International – a major base for Southwest and Spirit – 88 flights had been canceled as of 12:40 p.m. ET, FlightAware counted. That accounted for close to 15% of day's flights.
Most of the region's other major airports also were seeing above-average rates of delays and cancellations. At Newark Liberty, about 10% of the day's flights were canceled and another 15% were late.
Other airports where fliers were seeing notable disruptions included New York LaGuardia; New York JFK; Washington Reagan National; Boston; Raleigh/Durham; Columbus, Ohio; and Richmond, Va. Though none of those were gridlocked, some delay and cancellation problems ranged from nuisance to significant disruption.
The ripple effect of the problems in Atlanta and the Northeast were being felt across the nation.
In Florida, for example, about 30 flights had been canceled at Orlando International – mostly fallout from the problems in Atlanta and the Northeast.

On Saturday we made the most out of the St. Patty's festivities and decided to wear green--that's really all the further we got...
Hunk chose ribs for dinner, while the Punk and I satisfied a much needed pasta craving. Good thing we're not Irish or we would have disgraced our heritage.
Naps were enjoyed, a string of random but delightful foods were eaten, and ducks were chased.
I also got to take a car ride into town--alone. Did you the know that the hum of an engine can actually be therapeutic--it was divine (who knew there was still quietness in the world)?

Online Ad Spend Tied To Olympics Expected To Reach $100 Million: Lehman
Of the $1.5 billion that marketers are expected to spend on advertising tied to the summer Olympic games, only $100 million will go towards online, said Lehman Brothers internet analyst Doug Anmuth during a conference call the investment bank hosted. Naturally, NBC and its marketing partner Microsoft (NSDQ: MSFT), stand to benefit the most from the related digital ad spend. But Anmuth expects Yahoo (NSDQ: YHOO) and AOL (NYSE: TWX) to leverage interest in the games, which kicks off in Beijing on Friday, for their sites and should also see some ad dollars heading their way as well. To a lesser extent, Google (NSDQ: GOOG) should benefit somewhat from search activity and from the Olympics highlights that YouTube will be showing as well.
— The shift to digital: A large part of the Olympics' revenue will be incremental, said Art Ventura, SVP, ad sales, for Cablevision's (NYSE: CVC) MSG Media. He and Brad Adgate, SVP, research for Horizon Media, noted the weak ad economy will surely have some impact. And so, NBC has to price aggressively, therefore each unit is producing less revenue than it might have been expected. Secondly, because of the panoply of choices from cable to digital, the ad market surrounding the Olympics is not that tight anymore, even in the midst of a presidential campaign.
— Sports' strength: Art Ventura, SVP, ad sales, for Cablevision's MSG Media: "Obviously, the economy is a question mark for everybody. But sports doesn't have much a of DVR issue around it; people want to watch it as soon as they can, not later. Olympics is still a safe harbor for ad dollars, as are most sports."
— Digital packages: How will other online outlets affect NBC's take? Mike Shields, Mediaweek's senior editor, digital, said he doesn't think the NBC will have to worry about competition from other sites taking away audience from NBCOlympics.com. For example, YouTube will only have about three hours a night, while MSN will direct users back to NBC's website. He did say he was surprised that the network didn't go after long-tail sports for the website or that it tended to avoid internet-only advertisers.
— Sponsors drive ad spend: In a report that accompanied the call, Lehman compared past ad sales levels and concluded that official sponsors of the Olympic Games are buying roughly 50 percent of the available ad inventory both on television and online. Telecom, soft drinks, corporate imaging and movies are showing strong interest. Retail advertisers supporting

I can't believe kids are about to head back to school already. Summer is coming to an end and fall is around the corner. You know what that means? Halloween! I would like to say a big Thank You to Costume Discounters for giving me the opportunity to review one of their Halloween Costumes.
Check out the costume that I chose... the 3-Piece Flower Power Costume in 3X/4X... yes that's right, I'm not embarrassed to admit it. Now that I have my costume, I can't wait until the Halloween parties begin! So make sure you go check them out... The lowest discount prices on costumes for all ages!
I received a complimentary costume from Costume Discounters, to try in exchange for my honest opinion, and a review of my experience. I did not receive any other compensation or incentive nor was I required to write a positive review. Individual results or experiences may vary.

(VEN) - With the aim of encouraging tour guides to improve their performance in order to better meet the needs of travellers, the Vietnam Tourism Association's (VTA) Vietnam Tour Guides Association (VNTG) is launching a pilot program to rank guides on the basis of their knowledge and skills.
According to VTA data, Vietnam currently has more than 23,000 guides for inbound and outbound tourism, and the figure is almost 30,000 if voice-over guides and guides at specific tourist attractions are taken into account. However, only about five percent of these guides have signed a work contract with tour operators, while the remaining 95 percent work on a freelance basis.
VTA Chairman Vu The Binh said the service by freelance tour guides is often substandard, negatively affecting the tourism sector's prestige. At some tourist attractions, guides are required to meet fewer and fewer conditions and requirements, he said.
The EU has helped the VTA's Vietnam Tour Guides Association launch the guide-ranking program. VTA has also signed an agreement with the Directorate of Vocational Education and Training to improve tour guide knowledge and skills.
Bui Van Dung, Deputy Chairman of the Vietnam Tour Guides Association said tour guides would be rated on their performance, knowledge and tour operator's assessment. Tour operators have welcomed the program.
By classifying guides into categories ranging from three to five stars, the Vietnam Tour Guides Association hopes it will be easier for travel firms to hire and pay adequate wages to tour guides. Nguyen Cong Hoan, Deputy General Director of Hanoi Red Tour Company said standards for tour guides are important given their integral role in the service and travel agencies like his company.
After the pilot program, the Vietnam Tour Guides Association (VNTG) will formulate criteria and ranking regulations to
enable all tour guides to join the rating from 2019.

We here at Ring of Fire are not alone in our observation that Donald Trump is a fascist, even Ted Koppel holds a low view of Republican presidential front runner. During an interview with Fox News' Bill O'Reilly, Koppel explained earlier comments he had made likening Trump to Benito Mussolini.
"Well, he's got a lot more hair," said Koppel of Trump. "But the fact of the matter is that he and Benito Mussolini have this sort of arrogant approach in which they say very little in terms of substance, but the manner in which they say it gets the crowds excited."

Tomorrow I'm being interviewed with another survivor on a radio show/podcast. The first part of the interview the host would like us to tell our story and how we recovered. The women who I'm being interviewed with is a powerful advocate who brings awareness to sexual assault and trafficking. She speaks to first responders, and police officers coaching them on how to talk with someone who has just been sexually assaulted. I'm going to be talking about surviving trauma and living with PTSD. We both get to promote our books, which is always a bonus!
When I tell my story, I don't go into detail, I don't want to trigger myself or anyone else who may be listening to me speak. I have done enough talks to be able to read the audience and have learned what to say and not say. In a nutshell, I tell people I survived unimaginable abuse for the first 20 years of my life, with continued threats to stay silent. I worked hard to repress my past until a family tragedy jarred my memories and I couldn't keep them under lock and key any longer. Despite living with PTSD, I've worked hard the past eight years to learn the truth of my past. I'm determined to help destigmatize mental illness, particularly PTSD, by speaking and writing openly about living with this disorder.
The second part of the segment, we will be interviewed by a local high student. This is the main reason I said yes to the interview. How cool is it to be interviewed by teenagers? She is going to ask the following 3 questions:
- What should you do if you're being abused?
- What should you do if you know of a friend who is being abused?
- What could people have done to better help you?
I'm so grateful for how interactive the blogging community is when it comes to comments. I would love to know how you would answer these questions. Any of the questions? Parents, what would you like your children to know? Younger people, what would you have liked or want to know? Survivors, how would you answer any of these questions?
Your input is greatly appreciated!

I've put together a little assortment of items that I think would be great to bring if you're invited to one of these showers. Have you ever been to a Stock the Bar shower? What'd you bring?
side note: when I went to the liquor store to buy part of the gift the guy working told me I was too pretty to drink Jose Cuervo. Should I have been offended that he thinks I have terrible taste or flattered that he thought I was pretty? I was too thrown off by his comment to ask him plus it was about to storm and I needed to get back to my car before I had to figure out how to hold an umbrella and 2 paper bags full of alcohol. He was kinda cute though so I guess I'll just have to go back and ask next time.

Mood Makers
Are you in the mood for love? Maybe you're not quite ready yet? Well, once you start bringing romance back into your life or even if you're trying it out for the first time, you will start to experience a wonderful new mood inspired by your new love affair with your spouse. Start off slowly with the traditional romantic gestures like holding doors open, flowers, candy, little love letters and special attention to his or her needs. Once you make these romantic gestures habits in your marriage, you will find that your appetite for more romance and other similar moods will increase with time. You can satisfy your appetite with some fun and sensuous as well asromantic ideas.
When you find that you are ready to implement romantic acts into your daily routine with your spouse, be creative with what you can come up with. For example, you can buy decorative pillows for the bedroom with "Tonight" and "Not Tonight" printed on either side. You can use this as your own private signal for each other and your intentions. Other couples will use more subtle indications as to their intentions with you in the bedroom.
When you want to think of your own, you can make up your own 'code' to say whenever the mood strikes you. Maybe your wife will say "I'm getting tired" and then you can say, "Well, then let's get you to bed." Try something even more subtle like saying the same word three times in the same sentence like 'blue' or another obvious word. Walk up to your partner and begin humming 'your song' in his or her ear. Pull a Carol Burnett and tug on your ear lobe- whatever you both agree on will be a small form of your own private foreplay that will make you want to rush home and make love!
Sometimes it takes something extra special that both you and your partner enjoy to get in the mood like chocolate! Chocolate is one of the few things that most men and women share a love for and never tire of. You can use chocolate in a number of ways to spark romance or initiate a little foreplay with your partner. You can always, of course, present your spouse with a gift of their favorite chocolate and that is sometimes enough to get him or her in the mood. Try bringing his or her favorite chocolates to bed one night and feed each other. You can always be selfish and only allow your spouse to lick off what melts on your fingers. Also, you can 'accidentally' get some melted chocolate on your spouse! Lick it off, say that it tastes so much better on them and do it again and again!
Make plans to take a vacation completely focused on chocolate together! Two of the world's most famous chocolate factories are the Nestle chocolate factory in Broc, Switzerland and the Hershey Chocolate factory in Hershey, Pennsylvania. Some people even believe that chocolate is an aphrodisiac. Why not test this theory on your own chocolate vacation fantasy?

Prison is a 50 billion dollar business..they have to keep the beds filled.
Where are they built? Rural areas. Away from loved ones.
Who is in control there? No one that can relate to the prisoner.
How many men of color are represented behind bars? Over 50 percent…the next 9 years are crucial for the 3rd grade boys of color because 50 percent will drop out, meaning high school and college will be less of a reality. The chances of them earning slow money diminishes when the chance to earn fast money increases.
We need to give our children a heads up. We are going on 3 generations of our men of color being locked down…if I had 10 sons, 7 are at risk for doing time…it's time to save our boys..too many men behind bars that look like me.
It's not my son today, but one day it could be and I hope we care enough to make sure all of our sons are making good choices and avoiding getting a record.
This is why behavior in school is crucial. Many are failing tests because they cannot comprehend what's on the test, so the negative behavior becomes a coping mechanism of sorts, to mask the behavior.. I can remember the individuals that were in my third grade class who were failing and acting up are dead or in jail AND were fatherless…we gotta get the dads back on their jobs…..
50 Billion….
Prison is a 50 billion dollar business..they have to keep the beds filled.

Reliance Jio Introduces New JioFi Bundle With Offers Worth 1,999 INR For 1 Year
Ever since the commercial launch of the Jio 4G services, the company has been offering an array of offers for the consumers, providing a great value to its users over the other networks. The company launched the JioFi devices as well, which is essentially a Wi-Fi modem that allows the Jio 4G data to be used even on non-4G devices. We saw the company launching a couple of different variations of the same like JioFi 2, JioFi 3, etc. and now, it looks like we some new offers for the same.
As you can see from the screenshots that are embedded below, the company has come up with a new offer in which the users buying a JioFi device worth 1,999 INR will get one year worth of free Jio services, which stacks upto the cost of the JioFi device. Well, the offer is pretty much self-explanatory. It is as simple as buying a new JioFi device and getting offers worth 1,999 INR. First of all, to begin with, this could be a great offer for someone who is yet to get a Jio SIM since he/ she does not have a 4G smartphone. This is pretty much the best offer that is out right now for the JioFi device.
Well, in order to avail these benefits, there are certain things which you need to follow. First of all, you have to purchase a new JioFi device for this. So the existing JioFi users won't be able to take advantage of this offer. However, as mentioned earlier, if someone is planning on buying one, then this is the right time to do so. Once you purchase the JioFi device, you need to get a new SIM card with JioFi offer plan as well. There is a total of four offers to choose from. Also, it is worth noting the fact that this is a Jio Prime exclusive offer only and hence it is mandatory to have the Prime membership. However, this is not something to worry about since it is included in the value which you are getting back.
Talking about the FRCs (First Recharge Coupons), they are all listed in the screenshots above. As you can see, they include the 99 INR for Jio Prime membership as well. Any other plan which you select the post that will be offered to you as a part of this offer which translates to the price at which you will purchase the JioFi device. Do make a note that this does not translates to 1 year of free unlimited services. There are limitations and you need to go through the offer thoroughly before selecting one. Let us know your thoughts on this.

We're a family of five living in an 850-square-foot condo in downtown Toronto. How did we get here?
Let's begin in 2014, when my husband Kiran and I had our first child, Isha. Rather than buying a house — which would have cost us well over a $1 million and leave us living paycheque to paycheque servicing the mortgage — we opted for a smarter investment in a smaller space.
We bought a house-to-triplex conversion in Bloordale Village and took up residence in a 900-square-foot unit within. It had one bedroom, one bathroom and a shared laundry space. Our goal was to eventually convert the triplex into a single-family home when we needed it. As time passed, however, we realized that we enjoyed our compact lifestyle. A smaller unit was easy to maintain, gave us access to the city and was a short walk to restaurants, street festivals and parks.
We put off the renovation, rented out all three units in the triplex, and moved into a rented two-bedroom-plus-den condo in 2015. We had our second child, Kian, the next year. We adapted by turning the den into a nursery, but by then things were starting to feel a little cramped.
"The positives outweigh the negatives for our chosen lifestyle."
That's when Kiran came across "Minimalism: A Documentary About Important Things" on Netflix. It had an immediate and profound impact on us. We didn't need more space — we needed less stuff. We started by purging old textbooks, garbage bags full of clothing, random kitchen gadgets and shoes. Little by little, the space opened up.
In 2018, when our third child, Josh, was born, we felt confident we didn't need a bigger place to call home. Make no mistake — it's definitely cozy in here — but the positives outweigh the negatives for our chosen lifestyle.
And you know what? After a full year as a family of five, we're still not yearning for more floor space. Here are some ways we keep things organized and clutter-free.
Furniture and decor
We found it essential to avoid bulky furniture like a coffee table, wide shelving units or a three-piece sofa set. Instead, we went for condo-sized furniture found at stores like IKEA, BLVD Interiors and CB2.
Throughout the condo, we have pieces that stow easily — folding chairs hung behind bedroom doors, a large table with wheels that folds away — and don't have a dedicated dining table, freeing up floor space.
As for decor, we try to keep things as simple as possible. We don't have many decorative pieces and very few photographs. Using neutral colours helps the space look less cluttered.
Organization and storage
The crib, our beds and couch have storage spaces beneath them, fitting slim containers containing diapers, paper towels, toilet paper, baby wipes and travel essentials. Our ceilings hit 8.5 feet throughout, so we took advantage of this with tall, narrow shelving units and cabinets.
The back of every door in the condo also has some kind of over-the-door organizer to store things like our ironing table, cloth diapers, shoes and miscellaneous cords and chargers.
Every closet, storage cabinet, pantry and shelf contains clear containers, labelled baskets and bins for things like craft supplies, hats, tools, baby items, dry goods, shoes, toys, disposable plates, cups and cutlery.
Clothing and closets
In order for everything to fit in our closets, we created capsule wardrobes for each family member. Most of our clothing is basic and neutral, and can easily be mixed and matched to create a variety of outfits. We each have approximately 40 to 50 pieces of clothing and we're working on reducing that number.
In the kids' shared bedroom, we added a second rod to maximize their closet space and added labelled clothing dividers to give each garment a home. Our master bedroom is approximately 200 square feet, and a regular-sized dresser or chest of drawers would not fit. Instead, we repurposed slim shoe storage organizers to store clothing.
Morning routine and bathroom situation
The key to avoiding hectic mornings: two bathrooms. One has a shower and the other has a bathtub. Around 5:30 a.m., Kiran and I take our showers and prepare for the day before the kids are awake. We give our kids baths in the evening.
When the little ones do wake up, they take turns brushing their teeth in the master bedroom's ensuite bathroom. They still need our help, so while one parent helps one child brush, the other parent helps the other child dress.
Meanwhile, Baby Josh is usually happily eating away in his hook-on high chair.
Saving and spending money
The great thing about living a more minimalist lifestyle is that you'll waste less money on things that you don't really need. We estimate we save approximately $300 to $500 a month on things like shoes, clothes and gadgets.
That said, we still spend a lot of money, we just choose to spend it differently. We gravitate toward experiences like vacations, restaurants and activities with the kids.
We're also able to afford services that make our lives a lot easier. During my maternity leave, we were able to put Kian in full-time daycare. Daycare costs in Toronto range into the thousands every month, depending on a child's age. We also have a housekeeper that helps us with laundry, cleaning and meal prep three evenings every week.
With a smaller mortgage compared to a full-sized Toronto house, we have been able to put our money to work for us. We now own several income properties.
The downsides
Since our children are still small and always want to be around us, they're not craving their own space — yet. However, as they get older, I'm sure they'll want more privacy.
The limited space means you have to consistently dedicate time to decluttering, and you have to be very organized in order to live comfortably. Luckily, I actually enjoy simplifying and organizing, and I've been able to apply these skills to Tiny and Tidy, where I teach others how to declutter their homes and get organized.
Lastly, we don't have a large foyer or mudroom. When we're all heading out the door in the morning, it can get a bit cramped when trying to put on our shoes and jackets at the same time.
We truly believe that our lifestyle has brought us closer together, allowing us to play and interact with each other more — if only because we can't really escape one another.

Rhythm is our universal mother tongue. It's the language of the soul.
On November 12th it arrives, The Full Moon in Taurus, the culmination point of a six month period originating on May 4th 2019.
With Passion and Discipline combined in rhythmic union at the heart of this Full Moon cycle, I am reminded very much of this poem, a humbling reminder of the significance of "timing"
To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
A time to be born, a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
A time to love, and a time to hate; A time of war, and a time of peace.
The cards that I am associating with this particular Full Moon, are The Six of Disks, The Six of Cups, Death & The Hierophant.
At the heart of this cycle lies a virtue to be gained through "practice over time", and with its origin at Beltane, this cycle has been one of passion and fecundity, but not of the "wham bam thank you mam" variety!
Here we have discovered that matters are often not brought to successful fruition by a single flamboyant event, or indeed one wild passionate encounter, but rather by the measured and committed application of devotion, a persistence that slowly builds to manifest something that is strong, steadfast, consistent and above all enduring.
Relinquishing that which has outlived its use, has been the requisite action of this cycle, to surrender to the process, fully and unconditionally, whilst allowing the "new" to take root and to slowly grow. Any attempts to hold on to threads from a past that is lost, may well have proved not only difficult, but indeed damaging to the ability to focus attention on any newly emerging tender life that has lain in our hands.
Falling in a tight conjunction with the asteroid Vesta, this Full Moon speaks out strongly for acts of self renewal, generated by the need to be whole within ourselves, to be true to our own nature, a desire to be free of self judgement and of the judgement of others.
Strongly connected with the fire of the Kundalini, Vesta gives the opportunity to redirect the life force within, so that rather than promoting relationship with "other" this asteroid fosters the importance of relationship with "self" as a foundation for any other relationship that might come after. This suggests that the fertile, sexual and passionate images associated with this entire cycle have had at their heart, the desire to bring about a stronger and more authentic union with the personal, as a necessary foundation for the work that lies ahead.
The Astrologers Diary
The Full Moon every month offers an opportunity to release old cycles, and as an Astrologer, I find it to be a useful exercise for myself and in working with others, to use the energy of each particular Full Moon, according to the Sabian Symbol that it falls on, together with the position in which it falls in the Natal Chart. Such considerations can be invaluable in steering through ups and downs, and in becoming "easy" with the ebb and flow of what life brings.
This particular Full Moon highlights the following cycle:
New Moon in the 15th Degree of Taurus: May 4th 2019:
HEAD COVERED WITH A RAKISH SILK HAT, MUFFLED AGAINST THE COLD, A MAN BRAVES A STORM: The courage needed to meet the crises precipitated by social ambition…… what is revealed here is CHARACTER under adverse circumstances.
Full Moon in the 20th degree of Taurus: November 12th 2019 :
WISPS OF WING-LIKE CLOUDS STREAMING ACROSS THE SKY: The awareness of spiritual forces at work……… this image concludes a process, having experienced which the individual should find themselves more securely established in their own original nature, receiving the BLESSINGS of super-natural forces.
Falling across my 5th 11th house axis, for me, this cycle has been very much about getting out into the wider world, enjoying "activities" with my younger child. Encouraged by the endless of enthusiasm of "mid-teen" energy, I have had to really "step up to the plate" in terms of "guiding" him into the wider world…. something that taxed my energy somewhat, but which also re-connected me with activities that I had enjoyed in my (rather distant) youth!!. Needless to say, a great deal of fun and laughter was had, and I am already looking forward to another round of "the great outdoors" next year!! These themes match up wonderfully with the house positions in my chart, and I can clearly see that the consistency and the "work" put into, in this case, the "play" has paid off, with new-found confidence, new friends in new groups, and new skills. I can definitely relate to the Sabian Symbols of this cycle!!
This kind of "house-keeping" engendered by the Moon's cycle can be invaluable in keeping "on track" with life, rising to the inner rhythms, and flowing with the lunar tides. Knowing which houses the Full Moon falls in, and whether it is in close aspect with any planets in your chart can be an invaluable tool, along with the wider cycle of the Progressed Moon, for discovering the secret rhythms of your daily life.

My name is Joanna Grant, I am an Astrologer, Tarot Reader and Writer, who lives for now in the South West of Ireland. Throughout my life, I have watched as the planets have woven their stories into my life; as Jupiter has brought me the desires of my deepest longings and as Pluto has torn my life into shreds, and eaten the remains. I have answered the clarion calls of Saturn, as he has brought me to new lands, to hardship, and also to deep learning, and have also witnessed that he has never left my side. Uranus has ensured that I have not stayed in any one location for very long, whilst Mars & Venus have led me by the nose on far more occasions than I care to recall, but who have also brought their passionate creative spirit to the fore in my life. Neptune has beguiled and confused me, but also entranced and inspired, whilst Mercury has made certain that I have studied the reasons "why" for everything to the "nth" degree. The Moon, my eternal guide on this journey and the lady of my own chart, has given me my deep love of The Stars, steering me ever onwards along the path to seek The Sun.
At this stage in my life, it is time to give back….. and my long knowledge of Astrology leads and informs my practice in offering guidance and empowerment, helping others to lead a more authentic, productive and magical life. You can read more about me here.

Feingold Diet Food List: Learn What Foods to Avoid and What Ones Are Allowed
Benjamin Feingold
Dr. Benjamin Feingold (June 15, 1899 - March 23, 1982) was certified in Pediatrics and in Pediatric Allergy. He wrote and co-wrote numerous publications in the field of allergy and basic immunology. In the early 1970s, he reported a link between diet and allergic conditions. Although some, including other pediatricians, were skeptical, many children have benefited from his program. Below is a brief discussion on what conditions can benefit from this diet and how it works, along with a Feingold diet food list, including foods that are and are not allowed.
Feingold Diet
The diet is not only meant for children, it can also benefit adults as well. Basically, it is a test to rule out certain foods that can cause allergic reactions or sensitivities, which can lead to problems such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, Tourette syndrome, autism, depression, dyslexia, irritable bowel syndrome, asthma, eczema, ear infections, migraines, sleep disorders, bedwetting and aggression. The first stage is to eliminate certain foods for at least four to six weeks. The second stage, after improvement is noticed, involves gradually reintroducing foods. This will help the person to identify which foods can and cannot be tolerated.
Feingold Diet Food List
Foods to Avoid
Eliminate foods containing:
• Artificial colors - Check labels for words like "color added", "U.S. certified color", "food coloring" and "FD&C yellow No. 5".
• Artificial flavors - Check labels for words like "artificial flavoring" and "flavoring".
• Antioxidant preservatives - These include butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA), butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) and tertiary butylhydroquinone (TBHQ).
• Aspartame (Nutrasweet) - This is a synthetic sweetener.
• Salicylates (a major ingredient in aspirin) - Foods containing salicylates that should be eliminated with this diet include all berries, almonds, apples, apricots, bell peppers, cherries, chili peppers, cucumbers (including pickles), currants, grapes, nectarines, oranges, peaches, plums, prunes, tangerines and tomatoes. Coffee and tea should also be avoided. This is not a complete list.
Other food additives - If eliminating the above foods does not show improvement, Dr. Feingold recommends avoiding corn syrup and foods containing monosodium glutamate (MSG), hydrolyzed vegetable protein, nitrites or nitrates, sulfiting agents and benzoates.
Other popular allergenic foods - If there is still no improvement, you may want to avoid milk and other dairy products, eggs, wheat, corn products, chocolate and soybeans/tofu.
Foods Allowed
Foods allowed on the diet include bananas, beans, beets, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, cantaloupe, carrots, cauliflower, celery, dates, fresh meat and poultry, grapefruit, honeydews, kale, kiwis, lemons, lentils, lettuce, mangoes, mushrooms, oats, onions, papayas, pears, peas, pineapple, potatoes, rice, spinach, squash, sweet corn, sweet potatoes, watermelon and zucchini. This is not a complete list.
You do want to be careful with this diet to prevent nutritional deficiencies.
Foods are not the only restrictions in this program. Over-the-counter medications and products like toothpaste containing chemicals should also be eliminated.

Centuries: Year in Review 20th Century (19th century - 20th century - 21st century)
Decades: 1910s 1920s 1930s 1940s 1950s - 1960s - 1970s 1980s 1990s 2000s 2010s
Years: 1960 1961 1962 1963 1964 1965 1966 1967 1968 1969
Events and Trends
The 1960s was a turbulent decade of change around the world. Many of the trends of the 1960s were due to the demographic changes brought about by the baby boom generation and the dissolution of European colonial empires.
- Bay of Pigs
- Civil rights movement
- Cuban Missile Crisis
- John F. Kennedy assassinated in 1963; his brother Robert F. Kennedy assassinated in 1968.
- Martin Luther King Jr. assassinated on April 4, 1968.
- LBJ's Great Society program
- Hippies, drug culture & Rock and roll converge at the Woodstock Festival & Concert, 1969.
- Increase in crime, Los Angeles Watts Riot, 1965, Chicago riot, Democratic National Convention, 1968
- Rise of the baby boom generation to adulthood; Sesame Street debuts on PBS.
- The sexual revolution
- The rise of radical feminism
- Growing popularity of religions other than Christianity, and of atheism; Time Magazine asks: "Is God Dead?"
- The Vietnam War and protests, leading to Kent State University shootings in May, 1970
- The growing hegemony of ultra-liberalism in universities and other institutions
- The rise of political correctness and the bashing of the Western canon
- The rise of the drug culture
- Rock and roll develops, diversifies, and becomes very hip. The Beatles eclipse Elvis Presley.
- Widespread riots in France
- Suppression of uprising in Czechoslovakia
- Sweden abandons driving on the left side.
- The United States puts man on the Moon; geosynchronous satellites revolutionize global communications.
A fascinating page, but it should be renamed somehow; I'd rather not do it myself, but perhaps 1960s in the United States. Of course, many of the same events were occurring in Europe at the same time. Would be interesting to learn what the European experience at that time was.
Perhaps the different continents should just have subpages off of each decade's page. Then have the main page highlight the more global events such as the Vietnam war, the sexual revolution etc..
On the same page is the way to go. Many history books attempt to give a disjoint history along geographic/regional boundaries. This does little to encourage a worldwide view of each timeframe. These pages for each decade are meant to be a jumping off point/summary of major events/trends and also to facilitate a continuous timeline of all events/things/people mentioned in wiki. We should avoid anything but short one liners for each trend/topic/event to keep the decade list page readable.

When USA Gymnastics announced its five-woman team for the 2012 London Olympics, four of the five names went largely unquestioned.
Jordyn Wieber, Gabby Douglas, Aly Raisman and Kyla Ross were all various shades of shoe-ins based on the results at U.S. Olympic Trials in San Jose.
Then there was the fifth, young McKayla Maroney.
Maroney finished just seventh in the all-around competition at the trials, many paces behind her main competition for the fifth spot, Elizabeth Price.
Upon seeing Maroney's name in the starting five, you could hear a collective "What Gives?" rise up from the Price partisans.
Indeed, there is plenty to question about Maroney's inclusion.
National Team Director Martha Karolyi is essentially betting that Maroney can do two things for the U.S. team in London:
1) Post a big score on vault during the team competition.
2) Win an individual gold medal on the vault apparatus as she did at last year's World Championships.
That's it.
If Maroney fails to deliver on both—particularly the first, since Karolyi's primary purpose is to construct a gold-medal-winning team—her selection will have been in vain.
To those who have followed women's gymnastics at past Olympiads, that might not sound like such a crazy wager.
Apparatus specialists are commonplace in a sport where the slightest misstep or difficulty rating can separate gold from silver.
Or at least they were.
You might remember that the famous 1996 American team had seven members (hence the nickname, "Magnificent Seven"). That number dropped to six in 2000.
London will mark the first Olympics where each team is allowed just five scoring members.
The effect of those rule changes has been to squeeze out specialists like Maroney.
Prevailing wisdom tells us that teams can't afford to retain a gymnast who does just one thing well. It puts too large an onus on the rest of the four team members, who must together fill all three spots in each of the other three rotations.
And if one wants to counter that wisdom as Karolyi has done?
Well, one better be right.
