Alumnus scoops top award at Chelsea Flower Show
Nottingham Trent University landscape design graduate Matt Keightley has scooped a top award at this year's Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Chelsea Flower Show.
Nottingham Trent University landscape design graduate Matt Keightley has scooped a top award at this year's Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Chelsea Flower Show.
The 29-year-old – who graduated from the School of Architecture, Design and the Built Environment - won the BBC / RHS People's Choice Award for designing 'Hope on the Horizon' for charity Help for Heroes.
Inspired by his brother Mike who is currently serving his fifth tour of Afghanistan with the Royal Air Force, the garden echoes the Help for Heroes ethos; to inspire, enable and support those returning heroes during their recovery and beyond.
Backed by Matt's employer, Maidenhead-based building and landscaping firm Farr & Roberts, the garden was sponsored by the David Brownlow charitable foundation, which represents the complex and progressive path of recovery experienced by wounded, injured and sick military personnel, veterans and their families.
Matt had never designed a public show garden before this years' event. His design also won a show garden silver gilt medal.
"I am absolutely ecstatic to receive this award. It's a real honour," said Matt.
"It's not just for me, but for all of the brave men and women who have served their country and for those who have returned and are now going through the recovery process. These guys are the true inspiration for the garden and where it all began."
Bryn Parry, co-founder and chief executive officer of Help for Heroes, said: "Help for Heroes is all about 'doing your bit' and the garden that Matthew has created does just that."
The garden will now be moved and set within the grounds of Chavasse VC House, a Help for Heroes delivered recovery centre in Colchester, Essex, part of the Defence Recovery Capability.
Doug Wilson, director of Farr & Roberts, said: "We are extremely proud of Matt. He's done a tremendous job and worked extremely hard to get where we are today."
While at the University, Matt was given support in setting up his own business by The Hive, Nottingham Trent University's centre for enterprise and entrepreneurship. After graduating, he ran his own landscaping company based in Richmond Upon Thames before teaming up with Farr & Roberts.
Lindsay Purssord, senior lecturer in Architecture, Landscape and Design, at Nottingham Trent University, who was one of Matt's lecturers, said: "I'm delighted that Matt's garden has gained recognition from the RHS and general public alike.
"Informed by a clear and moving narrative, the design's strong geometric forms contrast with multi-textured, soft-toned planting to create a beautiful garden that I'm sure will be enjoyed by all who use it."

'Tis the last Nonfiction Book Club book of the year, as recommended by a former coworker to the group. Next year, 2020, all book club selections will have been voted on by the group as a whole.
From the Back Cover:
Near the end of the nineteenth century, food was dangerous – lethal, even. Milk and meat were routinely preserved with formaldehyde, and rancid butter was made edible with borax, best known as a cleaning product. Unchecked by regulation, food manufacturers put profit before the health of their customers. Then in 1883, Dr. Harvey Washington Wiley was named chief chemist of the United States Department of Agriculture, and he began to campaign tirelessly for food safety and consumer protection. Deborah Blum brings to life this hugely satisfying David and Goliath tale, driving home the moral imperative of confronting corporate greed, which speaks resoundingly to the enormous social and political challenges we face today.
This review is both reflection on this particular book, as well as a reflection of this year, the first of my new nonfiction book club. After spending most of last year reading nonfiction much more than fiction, and my previous book club imploding, I missed the camaraderie book clubs offer. I love having a group of people to talk about books with – people who read things differently than I do, who have different opinions, different backgrounds, different everything that enriches our conversations at book club.
It threw me for a loop when one of the women at book club this week said she wasn't sure there would be as much to talk about with nonfiction as their is with fiction and I was tremendously confused. As much as I have enjoyed fiction books of all flavors over the years, I feel real life, from memoirs, to science books, and everything in between, has much more to offer a book club than fiction. But that could be my new inherent bias – are any readers in book clubs that read both? What would you say offers a richer conversation?
But on to The Poison Squad! This book came recommended to the group by a former coworker at the book store (and my friend), and she sold so many copies of the book to customers that I had to know what it was about the book she loved so much. While the synopsis does a pretty good job of hooking a potential reader in, my favorite parts of the book involved the more biographical aspects of the story – the focus on Wiley's own life, particularly the way he treats the employees of the Department of Chemistry, and notably the secretaries.
Whenever any of his many antagonists, from the Secretary to the President, come after him, the staff of the chemistry department are always quick to support him, because he has always shown them all kindness and compassion, helped them with their work, and been an approachable and friendly human being. He endeared himself to all the women of the Gilded Age, aligning himself with suffragettes and the temperance movement (and also the makers of straight whisky), and the entire Heinz enterprise. His many allies made by defending pure food joined him in his political and congressional fight for legislation to support pure food and food safety standards.
Overall, The Poison Squad is a well written and terrifying look at what Americans used to be offered as a food substance that frequently did not include any actual food products. While there is still a certain amount of unknown in what we eat today, at least we have more information and can rest comfortably assured that our produce is fresh, our milk is free of formaldehyde, and the ingredient label is (mostly) accurate.
Rating: 8 out of 10 stars
The Poison Squad is the perfect gift for…
lovers of all things strange science, culinary professionals, and American history buffs – it cover so many topics, there's many people this book would be a great gift for.
Where to Buy
In the USA, I recommend purchasing through IndieBound or your local independent (most of us received signed copies from the publisher!), in the UK, and many other parts of the world, I recommend Blackwell's, and if neither of those cover where you live, I recommend checking out your local booksellers! Independent bookstores are vital parts of every local community and I wholly endorse supporting your local stores versus Amazon.

Gazzaniga has a population of 5,000, is in the mid-Seriana Valley 19 kilometres from Bergamo at an altitude of 386 metres and covers 14.65 square kilometres. The two hamlets of Rova and Orezzo are annexed to it, the latter in a dominant position 676 metres above sea level; the main conurbations are Masserini, S. Rocco, Rova and Ela.
The name Gagianiga comes from medieval Latin word gazzo, meaning a wooded area, Gageniga in the Bergamascan dialect. Prehistoric remains were found in the Corna Altezza cave above Rova at an altitude of 650 metres near the border with Aviatico: they consisted of graves of the Copper Age, ursus, marmot and fox. At the height of the medieval period Gazzaniga was part of Honio, a kind of federation comprising municipal areas of the mid-Seriana Valley formed for various purposes including economics and political. The confederation came to an end on 1263 on the instructions of the Chancellors of Bergamo.
Orders and statutes reached Gazzaniga, together with those of Rova and Fiorano, and were rediscovered by Antonio Tiraboschi. They were a copy of the original code that had been lost and was called Missalettus, dating back to 1260. The transcription is from 1748: the code is composed of 12 sheets containing 78 orders. The original is kept at the Civic Library of Bergamo section 5, 1/7).
The municipality's coat of arms shows a magpie (gazza in Italian), which was derived from the name of the village.

As far as parking lot mishaps go, this is about as bad as it gets. The driver of this rental van just bonked a beautiful little Porsche into a canal. It's so swift, so perfectly aligned, it's almost hilarious. Until you put yourself in the shoes of the Porsche owner.
This groaner of a clip comes to us by way of Unbound, a London-based book company that calls itself "the world's first crowdfunding publisher." The company tweeted photos of the poor Porsche in the drink this morning:
The folks at Unbound sure know how to spin a story. A few minutes later came an update:
Eventually, the car was removed, though it was looking a little worse for wear after its bath:
Then came the big reveal: Unbound had gotten security camera footage of the incident as it happened:
Wanna see what happened? Unbound's neighbors, a coffee shop called Pedlar Coffee, caught footage of the incident as it unfolded. Warning: There's some adult language in this video clip.
Oof. It seems like the van driver couldn't see the tiny Porsche in their mirrors, and assumed the parking spot was empty. Perhaps they had their mirrors adjusted too high to catch the roofline of the low-slung 356. Perhaps they were just distracted. Either way, it's almost comical watching that van—which appears to be from European rental agency Sixt—punting the poor Porsche into the waterway.
Thankfully, folks on the scene report that the baby-blue Porsche was a replica, rather than a genuine 356 Speedster. That's a relief, as it means the car is valued at far less than the incredibly rare late-1950s Porsche it's styled after. Still, it's some bad luck for the owner.
As for the folks at Unbound, they seem to realize the quality of the video footage they got their hands on:

How To Cook Turkey London Broil
How to cook turkey london broil?
1. Marinate
2. Roast in a 375˚ F. oven for approximately 40 - 50 minutes
3. Remove from the turkey from the oven when cooked through (at 165 F.), and keep lightly covered to rest for 15 minutes. Slice across the grain and place on a platter and keep warm.
Keep reading for more about turkey london broil and to get my famous recipe.
There are three things that intrigue me... first and foremost is food and the many ways it can be turned from nourishment into an edible work of art. Next is words... the written, the spoken, the meanings. And finally there is history. The history of our people, my people, antique furniture and old photos. Along with these very separate subjects is often a chance for them to come together, especially for us food writing chefs.
Old recipes and those with interesting names are also fun for me to work with. Where did they come from, and what has made them endure the test of time and the counting of calories? Who was the first one to create a dish, and who was the first one to put it in a cookbook? A modern day favorite is the Caesar Salad, which does not hail from the Roman Emperor Caesar, but from the Grand Master Maitre d' Hotel at the brand new Waldorf Astoria of the 1930's. Or was it the Italian Chef Caesar Cardini, living in Mexico in the 1920's?
Once I've learned a new fun foodie fact I do my best to cook the dish, at least once. Every year on New Year's Day, (the one in January), I cook up a big pot of Hoppin' John ~ an African American dish prepared on this day during the sad time of slavery as a special treat. It's said to bring luck for the new year. And twice a year I make an Apple Brown Betty, for the one reason that my great-grandmother's name was Betty Brown.
My collection of foodie words was recently picked through when I was questioned about a Turkey London Broil. It sounds so fascinating, so delicious, such a new and interesting meal to put on the table. And with the wonder of Thanksgivukkah just recently passed, this is a perfect time for some edible word play.
A Turkey London Broil is another name for a boneless, skinless half turkey breast. But don't be disappointed that it is nothing more exciting, as this wonderful cut of fowl offers so many options for a quick and light supper.
Weighing in at roughly a pound and a half, they don't shrink much during cooking, and can serve several portions. As any day-after-Thanksgiving cook knows, the leftovers are great, too.
The turkey breast has very little, to no fat content and can dry out quickly if not cooked properly. Recipes abound for a traditional Beef London Broil, and the same goes for its turkey counterpart. Dry rubs, marinades and brines are all savory starts to imparting flavor into the meat. Additionally, sauces and gravies add a velvety texture.
As with all meats, once cooked, allow it to rest for 10 - 15 minutes before slicing. Be sure to carve it against the grain using a long sharp knife.
While I make a big to-do about my whole roasted brined turkey on Thanksgiving, I like to go a little easier the rest of the year, with moisture inducing marinades or sauces for the turkey breasts. I hope you enjoy the recipe I've included here.

BREAKING: Trouble in Biriyani Cart Land?
A few reports have come in today about police activity in front of the Vendy Award winning Biriyani Cart (on 46th and 6th.) According to Lunch'er Chris it might have had something to do with the crowds of people waiting on line for biriyani in front of Cafe Europa (the generic Midtown deli on the same corner):
"So I was down at Europa (on 6th and 46) grabbing my standard boring salad and on my way out I notice the manager talking to a couple cops. I heard him complaining about the crowds for the Briyani Cart blocking the sidewalk, which is kind of odd considering it doesn't really effect the entrance at all. Anyways, you might want to ask the Briyani guys if the cops have been bothering them today at all."
Just confirmed with Meru, the owner of the Biriyani Cart, that the cops did in fact show up earlier today- and have just now returned for a second time to issue tickets.
According to Meru, the police showed up around 1pm today, and told all the carts on the SW corner of 46th and 6th that they would have to leave (that includes two halal carts, the Biriyani Cart, the Biriyani Sandwich Land Cart, and the Carribean Spice Cart.) Biriyani Cart was told it had something to do with parking over subway grates, but he's parked in the same spot for 6 years without ever having a single problem from police.
With the exception of Meru's second cart (Sandwich Land) which packed up and left, none of the other carts (including the main Biriyani Cart) had left as of 3pm so the police just showed up again and are taking down vendor permit and license numbers as I type this. Carribean Spice has now left the scene, but the rest of the carts remain for now.
Updates coming as soon as I know more…
Prediction: New Carts & Trucks Are About to See Some Serious Backlash

If this is true, then I have no qualms about walking into europa, asking to see a manager, and giving him a piece of my mind. Europa is not the kind of place i'd ever go to eat, so they certainly arent losing business from me thats for sure.

Stonehurst, with its' ethos of "fine living – naturally", is a 'black sky' development, discouraging light pollution and encouraging sustainable home design, water saving, environmentally sensitive building techniques as well as alternative energy use.
The estate's design guidelines are aimed at ensuring that Stonehurst integrates synergistically and sensitively with its mountain backdrop, as unobtrusively as possible.
The rationale behind the bold, contemporary architectural approach is to inspire the creation of homes that are symbiotic with nature.
With building footprints and roof forms that work empathetically with the topography and natural contours of the mountainside location, a key objective is to integrate the internal and exterior spaces – thus bringing the outside inside.
Varying, fragmented roof forms, separated by flat sections and complimented by pergolas and verandas, minimize the impact of buildings against the mountainside vistas.
The use of natural building materials such as stone and timber in dark and neutral tones ensure that homes blend seamlessly with the natural environment.
The character and aesthetic appeal of the Estate as a whole is delivered through the use of fynbos gardens, courtyards, avenues, water features, terraces, pools, pergolas and fences which are integrated to link land, water and built forms.
Courtyards and gardens create sheltered external spaces, whilst views of the valley, False Bay and the surrounding mountains are optimised through the intelligent planning of individual erven locations.

Presqu'ile Bird Report for 24-30 May 2019
This was probably the last big week of northbound migration, although some later migrants will continue for a few weeks. There were several days with good songbird migration and a big shorebird grounding occurred on 26 May.
Forty-eight BRANT were seen on 29 May. A lingering pair of RING-NECKED DUCK continues in the marsh off the Camp Office viewing deck. Five WHITE-WINGED SCOTERS were noted on 28 May. LONG-TAILED DUCKS can be seen far offshore on calm days with a high of 125 on 27 May. A few COMMON MERGANSERS were seen along with the more numerous RED-BREASTED MERGANSER, which peaked with 48 on 27 May. A RED-THROATED LOON in breeding plumage was off the beach on 27 May and three more there on 29 May.
Both AMERICAN and LEAST BITTERNS are putting on a good show with reports almost daily from the marsh off the Camp Office and the causeway (Presqu'ile Parkway) marsh. GREEN HERONS have been unusually scarce this spring but one was seen on 30 May. A nesting pair of NORTHERN HARRIERS was seen doing a food exchange on 27 May. VIRGINIA RAIL and COMMON GALLINULE were reported almost daily from the marsh.
A significant grounding of shorebirds, mostly DUNLIN and SEMIPALMATED SANDPIPER, occurred on 26 May when migrating birds were met with NW wind and fog. Although the beach is largely underwater the birds spread out on waters' edge along the entire length of the beach and fed non-stop all day. The next morning almost all were gone. In all there were 3632 birds of 12 species on the beach. The high counts from various observers were as follows: 45 BLACK-BELLIED PLOVER, 4 SEMIPALMATED PLOVER, 4 KILLDEER, 4 SPOTTED SANDPIPER, 30 WHIMBREL, 1 RUDDY TURNSTONE, 40 SANDERLING, 2500 DUNLIN, 2 LEAST SANDPIPER, 1 WHITE-RUMPED SANDPIPER, 1000 SEMIPALMATED SANDPIPER, and 1 SHORT-BILLED DOWITCHER. In addition WILSON'S SNIPE and AMERICAN WOODCOCK were also present but not on the beach. Small numbers of BONAPARTE'S GULL were mixed with other gulls all week with a high of 18 on 28 May.
A Rock Pigeon, somewhat rare in the Park, was reported on 27 May. Most of our records refer to lost homing pigeons. COMMON NIGHTHAWKS were seen most evenings in small numbers near dusk with a high of 8 on 26 May. RED-HEADED WOODPECKERS are showing signs of nesting with copulating pairs seen at two sites. An OLIVE-SIDED FLYCATCHER was reported on 26 May. YELLOW-BELLIED FLYCATCHERS were seen on several days with a high count of 3 on 26 May. A YELLOW-THROATED VIREO, a scarce migrant at best, seen on 29 May was getting late. Similarly a BLUE-HEADED VIREO seen on 27 May was late. A CAROLINA WREN was reported without further details on 26 May. A HERMIT THRUSH on 29 May was very late.
Warblers were once again well represented this week with most expected species seen, especially the later migrants like BLACKPOLL, WILSON'S, CANADA and MOURNING. Unquestionably the star of the week was a stunning KENTUCKY WARBLER that sang its heart out for several hours near Jobes Woods on 26 May and allowed most local birders the chance to see this southern over-shoot at Presqu'ile for the first time.
Two CLAY-COLORED SPARROWS were reported singing in the Calf Pasture field through the week. A report of a VESPER SPARROW without further details was made on 26 May. Although this species nests sparingly in the area, it is unknown from the Park at this season.
Needless to say we local birders would love to hear promptly of any rarities that visitors find so if you see something rare, please feel free to call or text my cell (613-243-4161) or Bill Gilmour's cell (613-475-4219) and we will get the word out to the local birding community. Thanks.
Directions: Presqu'ile Provincial Park is located on the north shore of Lake Ontario, just south of the town of Brighton. It can be reached from either Hwy. 401, or Cty. Rd. 2 and is well signed. A Park map can be found in the information tabloid available at the Park gate. Presqu'ile's two offshore islands – Gull and High Bluff – support a large multi-species colonial bird nesting area and access is not permitted during the breeding season (10 March-10 September).

My case only arrived this morning so I haven't road-tested it as it were, but it's just as beautiful as I was hoping - looks and feels really good. So delighted to have discovered this company making such beautiful (and sustainable) products.
On top of the quality of the product, it arrived incredibly quickly, in minimal and recyclable packaging, and the customer service I received was excellent. I can't recommend this case/company more highly.

Really awesome cases and even better service!
More than a year ago I bought a wooden snap case for my Galaxy S7 Edge. Fast delivery (to the Netherlands) and good quality case. Last week my case has slightly broken and then the case did not fit on my phone anymore. Bummer, because my 1-year warranty was just finished before.
I contacted the support desk and they really did deliver awesome service by sending me a new case of my own choice, even an upgrade.
Great cases, great company.
This phone case is awesome, it fits perfectly, looks just superb and is one of a kind. I haven't seen it anywhere else with all the phones out there with cases on them it is great to be an original.
Great looking case and compliments my S7 Edge really well. I like how it's not too chunky and fits really well.
I love the looks of the wood but I am a little concerned about the lack of protection provided by the case at the top and bottom of the phone. The case fits around the sides of the phone well but there is nothing at the top or bottom to protect from damage.
my girlfriend has got an S6 with a woodsnap case, while I grabbed this one for my S7 for a bit more added protection. I was pleasantly surprised at how grippy the sides were, and I'm still getting used to the fact the buttons are smooth. This definitely adds a slight bulk, but nothing to really complain about. While I completely understand that the wood grain pattern is completely natural and somewhat random, the pattern I received isn't as nice as I had hoped. Still, great price, great service, and happy I made this purchase!
This case is sleek durable and we'll made. I was surprised to see that it was real wood backing when I received it, not just one of those textured stick ons. And knowing that no two wood patterns are the same, it truly is a custom case

I was reminded of this during the 3 days that I was choking down heaping piles of unseasoned lentils and steamed beets. It was less noticeable how disappointing mealtime had become during the weekdays when I was distracted by work, but I really noticed what a huge role food plays in my enjoyment of life when Friday night rolled around. No going out to dinner to celebrate the end of a long week, no meeting up with friends to unwind over a glass of wine, in other words: no fun. I spent my Friday night trying to muster up the energy (which was waning at this point) to make my "dinner" while I watched 16 and Pregnant with Laura, who was enjoying a glass of wine and a real dinner. F.
So, what was the point of this again, I wondered? What are the real benefits of a detox? The proponents of a detox diet claim that it's benefits are to: reduce the amount of toxins and pollution that enter our body, improve immune function, cleanse our digestive tract, and purify the blood. However, none of this is scientifically proven and there's little evidence that they actually do what they claim to. So is it a waste of time then?
While detoxing did lessen my enjoyment of food (read: life), it was an overall positive experience. Even though I did have a faint hunger pang that remained with me for the full 3 days, I generally felt good: energetic, light, and clear minded. Depriving myself of eating whatever I wanted all the time made it all the more enjoyable when I did start to eat normally again too. Really though, it was a good little kick to snap me out of the bad eating habits I had been falling into.
So, what now? This week has been all about practicing my dad's "Everything in Moderation" philosophy and easing back into normal, healthy eating without giving in to my guilty pleasures. I've also been keeping a food journal and noting everything I eat and how it makes me feel to see if any patterns arise. A food journal is also a good way (for people like me especially) to prevent yourself from overindulging. If I've been eating good all day and want to splurge on some cookies that someone left in the office kitchen, I might think twice if I have to account for it.
A few healthy food switch suggestions from Whole Living:
Sweet potatoes to white potatoes
Croutons to walnuts
Mayonnaise to avocado
Milk chocolate to dark chocolate
Iceburg lettuce to romaine lettuce
Cream cheese to almond butter
White flour to whole wheat flour
Vegetable oil to canola oil
Sour cream to yogurt
But there's a lot more to wellness than nutrition so my next posts will be more focused on other aspects of well being and Whole Living. More to come…

After 21-year-old Logan Lerman's beloved performance in last year's The Perks of Being a Wallflower, our newfound favorite leading man is back on the big screen in Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters, the second installment of the action-adventure franchise. The movie hits theaters today, but the rising star made some time to spill about why this movie is bigger (and better) than the first, how he chooses his roles (Indies? Check. Blockbuster? Check!), and what he does in his down time.
So, congrats on the second installment of the Percy franchise. How did it come together?
Well...last minute! I got a call when I was filming another movie, and they were like, "We're doing it!" So I just hopped from that movie and went right into production on Percy.
Where did you shoot?
The first part of it shot in Vancouver, and then we shot in New Orleans, which was cool. It's an awesome place with a great culture. We had a good time.
On your days off did you go see music and enjoy the culture there?
I did, yeah. I also turned 21 there so that was fun. That's a good place to turn 21.
What was it like to be back together with the cast?
The gang's back together and we're all good friends. It was a fun reunion. On set, we just have a good time.
What do you like about your character?
I really admire and respect his loyalty to his friends. That's something I responded to about him. Percy's a good role model. There's nothing I can really say about him that I didn't like or wouldn't do.
How'd you train for the role?
We spent free time perfecting fight sequences. It's physically tough work. It's grueling!
What can we expect from this film?
It's very different from the first movie. It's a lot lighter, and it's fast paced-—once it starts, it doesn't stop. It's bigger than the first film, with more monsters and action sequences. Fans of the book are going to like this one more. The first one didn't feel as faithful to the tone of the book, and I think fans were disappointed. This one feels a lot more like what the book is, so I think they'll like that. Hopefully!
As for the movie choices you make, your career takes you from a big movie to an indie movie in a given year. And you rock each role! How do you choose your projects?
Well, usually it's based off of the filmmaker, or just the best role that I can find—and the most challenging. Most roles in my age range aren't interesting, but now that I'm getting older, there are more interesting scripts out there. I want to do different characters—tough characters—and things that scare me, and also just collaborate with good filmmakers. I try to be a part of films with directors that I really appreciate. And I've fought hard for some roles.

November 25 was White Ribbon Day- the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women.
Vale AM Jane Hutt, marked the day in the Senedd with members of the Dinas Powys WI. She said:
"Shockingly, in Wales and England, 2 women a week are killed by a current or former partner and 10,000 women a week experience sexual abuse. This is unacceptable, and we must do all we can to eliminate this devastating human rights violation. I raised this issue in the National Assembly last week and asked the First Minister for an update on how the Welsh Government supports White Ribbon day. I was pleased that on White Ribbon day, Finance Secretary Mark Drakeford and the Leader of the House and Chief Whip, Julie James announced £1.2 million of EU funding, alongside £300,000 directly from the Welsh Government for the £1.7 million Limitless programme during a visit to Welsh Women's Aid in Cardiff."

USF St. Petersburg campus Faculty Publications
The dynamics of cladoceran assemblages in response to eutrophication and planktivorous fish introduction in Lake Chenhai, a plateau saline lake.
Document Type
Publication Date
Lake Chenghai, a brackish lake located in southwest China, has changed from oligotrophic to mesotrophic and finally eutrophic conditions since the 1990s. In the late 1990s, planktivorous icefish were introduced into the lake, which dramatically altered the fish population. A paleolimnological evaluation using the cladoceran remains was conducted in order to analyze the effects of increasing nutrient load and fish introduction on the cladoceran community of this lake. Our results showed that the dominant cladocerans were littoral species, with a low abundance of planktonic Bosmina in the sediment. Increasing eutrophication since the late 1990s greatly enhanced the abundance of cladoceran assemblages, especially for the species that prefer eutrophic conditions. Meanwhile, the species which prefer oligotrophic conditions were extirpated. The changes in Daphnia ephippium length suggested that the planktivorous icefish have varying effects on the body size of different species.

Dr. Doom was one of my favorite comic book villains almost from the very start.
I have forgotten whether Fantastic Four #200 was the first or second issue of the series that I acquired, but it was certainly among my earliest purchases, generally, when I began collecting comic books beyond the Transformers series. It was a splendid superhero book, and obviously I perceived greatness in its villain, and I still do. Many have written appreciations of Dr. Doom over his half-century existence, and I could happily reiterate the character's established strengths. Instead, though, I want to focus on an aspect that I'm not sure I have seen highlighted before, at least not from this angle.
A couple of weeks ago, fellow alumnus of Fantastic Four fandom Sean argued that recent adaptations have mislaid the optimism which is as much a key to the concept as elemental superpowers or familial bickering. I thought it was a very valid observation about the Fantastic Four as characters and series. (I have not seen the films, though I suspect the analysis hits its target there as well.) More recently, this proposal inspired a sort of corollary involving the series' premier villain: part of what makes Dr. Doom a great foil for the FF is a contrasting pessimism intrinsic to his own character.
Doom's contrast with his nemeses' aura of optimism functions on a number of levels, which of course range well into the obvious. His first-ever appearance presented him as the antithesis of the Fantastic Four's rowdy, adventurous optimism; page one, panel one features a man in a death's head iron mask flanked by a vulture, right beneath the story's title, "Prisoners of Doctor Doom!" Neither Lee nor Kirby rank as the most subtle of storytellers, as a general rule, and they certainly were not in this instance. He's called Dr. Doom. Is there more to add?
I think that there is, yes. Realistically, most supervillains represent "doom," in contrast with the good guys, fighting to feed our hopes. Lots of bad guys have forbidding costumes and props to match, too. In the case of Dr. Doom, I think the name proved particularly appropriate, but most of the reasons special to this character only emerged as time went by.
Doom has in fact been something a blend of optimism and pessimism, from his first appearance through every generation since, in his individual story, actions and attitudes. In his basic origin, included in that first-appearance issue, Dr. Doom is established as a man who never, ever, ever gives up no matter how overwhelming the circumstances. This has remained part of the character since. (I know I'm not the only one who thinks of that harrowing scene from the original Secret Wars with a measure of awe.) This is probably more a determined character than one representing hope in any way, yet there's a complexity here that has persisted.
Over the course of decades, Dr. Doom gradually evolved more and more into a man of bad means more than bad intentions, less like the inherently evil Red Skull and more like the would-be mutant liberator Magneto. When a villain like the Red Skull gains power, the result is always a horror; his end-goal is simply pain and misery for all but himself and perhaps a few equally sadistic allies. When Dr. Doom has power, though, the result has increasingly often been a paradise; a paternalistic paradise, but one of sufficient contrast with not only other bad guys, but the real world around us, that Doom has worked effectively in the role of hero on many occasions.
This "tough love" side to Doom is nonetheless informed by a pessimism that does place him opposite the Fantastic Four's hopefulness. Dr. Doom is an irredeemable pessimist about humanity. He wants paradise for the world—but believes the only chance for this is by seizing power away from the inferior intellect and integrity of everyone else. Doom of course is a genius, but the Fantastic Four's leader Reed Richards is his match and nonetheless adheres to a mid-century American belief in freedom and progress. Broader hopefulness like this, Dr. Doom has no time for. The Doomwar limited series of several years back illustrated this dichotomy of narrow, self-based hope and broad pessimism about all the rest of us particularly well, but it has really been implied since writers first began to develop Dr. Doom as more than a simple selfish tyrant.
I think, though, that pessimism is tied into one more aspect of Dr. Doom that lies even deeper in the concept, as well as the character's history.
Regardless of his professed intent Dr. Doom mostly appeared as an oppressor to his people, feared and resented, up until John Byrne's stories in the early 1980s. Yet long before Byrne introduced the pessimistic argument that Doom might represent the best possible outcome, at least for his own kingdom, the very fact that he had a people, had a kingdom, represented an ongoing intrusion of pessimism from The Fantastic Four's earliest years.
Lee and Kirby themselves first introduced Dr. Doom's status as ruler of Latveria in Fantastic Four Annual #2, as far back as 1964. Back before the decline of our space program. Back before Vietnam, before Nixon; almost back into the optimistic Kennedy era which Sean notes as background to the series' creation. All the way back then amid cheery Silver Age goofiness that mostly persisted, even after Kennedy's assassination, at Marvel until the 1970s. Way way back then, Fantastic Four introduced a supervillain as absolute ruler of an entire nation… and left him in charge.
It never really struck me until recently how modern this seems. Latveria is a made-up nation, yes, and even within the Marvel Universe it was located somewhere in eastern Europe where Americans could, at the time, probably take for granted that things were "different" somehow. Even so, unlike the world's real-life dictators Dr. Doom was by 1964 a regular character within the Fantastic Four's own world, as he has remained since; I recall one or more analyses referring to him as the team's "fifth member." Yet he also held real political power over a whole nation of fictional, but otherwise "real," people.
The king of the Skrulls was a rotter, but the same went for the Skrulls themselves, plus they were all space aliens. Likewise the Mole Man had vaguely intelligent "moloid" subjects, but these were mute drones, obviously a subhuman "other."
When "real people" were involved, bad guys didn't get to stay in power. In another of their early stories, Lee and Kirby introduced "The Hate Monger" as dictator of another made-up nation, but the Fantastic Four toppled him by the end of his first appearance. A few years later, the mad tyrant Maximus appeared in control of a hidden nation of superbeings; perhaps Maximus got an extension because his subjects were called "Inhumans," although they mostly appeared as human as the rest of us and by his second appearance Maximus got the boot as well.
Dr. Doom broke this rule. Smashed it, even, Hulk-style. The Fantastic Four thwarted Doom's dream of further conquest again and again, but Latveria remained perennially under his (literal) iron boot. I suspect that this mostly owed to novelty, more than thematic intention; we'll never know for sure, but I recall Lee once enthusing about how the Fantastic Four couldn't simply put Dr. Doom in jail because he could claim diplomatic immunity, suggesting a view of Doom's status as mostly a clever gimmick. Later, by the time Lee and Kirby had both departed the title, it had become a convention. As I recall, Dr. Doom was not really replaced as head of state in Latveria—at least not for more than a single story or in favor of any kind of popular government—until the 1978 story with which I introduced this post.
Ignoring "Marvel time," 14+ years is a pretty good run, and while Doom has been chased from power multiple times during my life, he always returns. Significantly, Byrne's restoration of Doom after the 1978 coup set the pattern for most that have followed: for the most part, every government that replaces Dr. Doom tends to be just as bad and often worse.
In one sense, of course, this is a kind of literary convenience, especially after repeated use. It might also be seen as a kind of literary kludge for the fact that Dr. Doom ruling an entire nation of ordinary "real" human beings doesn't seem to fit, thematically, with the optimistic spirit of the Fantastic Four. On the surface, the suggestion that—given a succession of horrible alternatives—those human beings in some sense choose absolute rule, by Doom, papers over this. Yeah, he's mean and bossy, but people settle for him as the least bad option; hey, not all that different from voting in America, right? Close enough, at any rate, for government work, eh?
On a very deep level, though, I think the tradition of Latveria never having a genuinely good option from a liberal democratic perspective cannot be "smoothed over," but does not need to be, either. That's not really unrealistic. Along with Sean's blog, part of my inspiration for this post comes from a recent read of Circling the Square, a book about the Egyptian revolution. A revolution, like many, where dictatorship fell… popular elections and representative assemblies even followed… and yet things didn't seem to improve. Nor seem likely to improve, particularly when another autocratic government assumed power to restore "order" much like the old one. That's not at all unrealistic, sadly, nor is it hopeful or optimistic.
In one sense, such discouraging realism is nonetheless out of place in The Fantastic Four. But I believe that its ongoing presence in one particular place—the series' master villain throughout its history—adds a tension which makes for a more compelling antagonist, which makes for a more compelling concept as a whole.
(Though, of course, your mileage may vary. This is me we're talking about; searching for a title today I liked "Doom vs. Hope" but then realized I had better qualify it, lest it very naturally appear to be yet another overt political jeremiad.)

On April 18, 1942, airmen from Washington's McChord Field, who have volunteered for the dangerous mission, launch bombers from an aircraft carrier to attack the Japanese home islands. The attack, made soon after America's entry into World War II, becomes known as the Doolittle Raid after its flight leader, Lieutenant Colonel James H. "Jimmy" Doolittle (1896-1993). All 16 aircraft on the raid are lost. Of the 80 raiders, five die in crashes. Japanese forces capture eight men and execute three of them. One of the captured aircrew dies in captivity. The survivors will gather every year to remember their fellow airmen; in 2013, with four raiders surviving, three will meet for a final toast to the mission and the memory of their comrades.
McChord Field Training
McChord Field, located near Fort Lewis outside Tacoma, became an important B-25 training base that produced outstanding aircrews. McChord's 17th Bomb Group was the first bomb group to receive the B-25s and quickly became the most expert in their use. Aircrews from the 17th instructed new trainers and earned the nickname "Daddy of Them All."
When it came time to select crews for the raid on Tokyo, the 17th Bomb Group dominated the list. Among the McChord-trained 17th Bomb Group aircrews were Major John A. Hilger (1909-1982), Captain Charles Greening (1914-1957), Captain Edward J. York (1912-1984), Captain David M. Jones (1913-2008), Lieutenant Everett W. Holstrom (1916-2000), Edgar McElroy (1912-2003), H. F. Watson (1916-1991), Travis Hoover (1917-2004), Denver V. Truelove (1913-2008), Charles J. Ozuk (1916-2010), Ted Lawson (1917-1992), and Jacob DeShazer (1912-2008).
The Attack
In February 1942 the 17th Bomb Group was ordered to Columbia, South Carolina, to fly coastal patrols. It was also to provide crews for the Tokyo bombing raid. Volunteers from the 17th were sought and told that they would fly an extremely hazardous mission. The volunteer group was detached and sent to Florida to train for carrier launches. B-25B bombers for the raid were sent to a modification center for installation of added fuel tanks and removal of equipment to lighten the aircraft for longer range. Captain Greening, the mission armament officer, designed an accurate bomb sight that cost just 20 cents. After the raid, it was dubbed the "20 cent bombsight" and the name stuck.
On April 18, 1942, sixteen B-25 bombers lifted off the U.S.S Hornet to attack Japanese home island targets. Each B-25 had a crew of five. The mission flight leader, Lieutenant Colonel Jimmy Doolittle, was pilot of aircraft 1, the first to launch. Aircraft 1 was the first over Japan and bombed a factory. Doolittle then turned the plane toward China where it crashed into a mountain. The crew survived and Chinese civilians escorted all to safety. Greening and his aircraft 11 crew fought off Japanese fighter planes and bombed a fuel storage facility before running out of fuel and bailing out over China, where they also made it to safety with Chinese assistance.
Among Washington-raised crew members on the raid were Fred Braemer (1914-1989) and Wayne M. Bissell (1921-1997). Staff Sergeant Braemer, a 1935 Ballard High School graduate from Seattle, was a bombardier on aircraft 1, Lieutenant Colonel Doolittle's bomber. After the raid Braemer attended flight training and was commissioned a lieutenant. He retired in 1968. Wayne Bissell, a Vancouver High School football star and graduate, was a bombardier on aircraft 9, which bombed the Tokyo Gas and Electric Company. This crew bailed out over China and survived.
The Raid's Impact
All 16 aircraft on the raid were lost. Japanese forces captured eight raiders and executed three of them. One of the captured airmen died in captivity. Five others died in crashes. The U.S. Navy Task Force 16 that carried the bombers paid in deaths and injuries as well. Chinese civilians helped the downed crews escape and return safely to Allied bases. They did this at an incredibly heavy cost, with some accounts estimating as many as 250,000 civilians were killed by Japanese forces in their search and as reprisals.
The 80 Doolittle Raiders received the Distinguished Flying Cross. Lieutenant Colonel Doolittle was promoted to brigadier general, skipping over the rank of colonel. He also received the Medal of Honor. While the raid itself caused only limited damage, it gave a huge boast to American morale. It was a minor setback for the Japanese but it did mean that senior Japanese military leaders who had promised the homelands were free from attack had been upstaged by the Americans.
The raid also caused Japanese military leaders to divert naval forces to protect the home islands. Admiral Isoruku Yamamoto (1884-1943), Commander of the Japanese Combined Fleet, rushed plans to capture the Midway Islands to establish a safe perimeter and then attack Pearl Harbor in retaliation. The Japanese defeat at Midway set America on course for victory in the Pacific.
Post-raid Careers
After a leave, Ross Greening flew 27 missions from a North Africa base before being shot down in 1943 and spending nearly two years as a German prisoner of war. When the war ended, he proposed and then headed the "Army Air Force POW Exposition." Greening remained on active duty until his death in 1957.
Following the raid, Fred Braemer flew 26 missions in the China-Burma-India theater. He returned on leave to Seattle in July 1943 and appeared at a war bond rally at Seattle's Victory Square on July 26, 1943. Following this leave he attended flight school and received a commission. He left the Army Air Force in November 1945 and returned to Seattle. He reenlisted during the Korean War and served until retirement in 1968.
Sergeant Wayne Bissell came home on leave to Vancouver in July 1942. He attended many events and was honored as a hero during his time at home. The Vancouver Eagles Lodge had him as the principal speaker at its American War Heroes Day celebration. He had an East Coast assignment then went to flight school where he earned his commission on July 28, 1943. Lieutenant Bissell served in the Southwest Pacific until his discharge in July 1945.
Sergeant Edward J. Saylor (1920-2015), who served on aircraft 15 as an engineer, earned a battlefield commission on March 4, 1945. He remained in the Air Force and received a regular commission in October 1947. Saylor retired as a lieutenant colonel on October 1, 1967, and settled in Washington.
Raider Reunions
After the war, the Doolittle Raiders held reunions to recognize devotion to duty and honor their departed comrades. A central feature of the reunions was a collection of 80 silver goblets, each inscribed with a crewmember's name, presented to the raiders in 1959 by officials from Tucson, Arizona, and preserved at the National Air Force Museum between reunions. Over the years, as raiders passed on, their goblets were turned over. Kept with the goblets was a bottle of 1896 Hennessy cognac, which had been presented to General Doolittle (who was born in 1896) on his sixtieth birthday. The plan had been that the last two raiders would open the bottle to toast all the departed. However, in 2013, the final four surviving raiders decided to gather that year for the toast, rather than waiting until only two survived.The February 2013 death of Major Thomas Griffin (1916-2013) left four living Doolittle Raiders: Lieutenant Colonel Saylor of Puyallup, Pierce County; Lieutenant Colonel Richard "Dick" Cole (b. 1915); Sergeant David Thatcher (b. 1921); and Lieutenant Colonel Robert Hite (1920-2015). They decided to hold what would likely be the final reunion, and open the cognac, that fall. On November 9, 2013, Cole, Saylor, and Thatcher met for the ceremony at the Air Force Museum in Dayton, Ohio. Health issues prevented Hite, the last survivor of the eight raiders who had been captured by Japanese forces, from being present, but he was represented by family members. Others in the invited crowd of 600 included family members of deceased raiders, Air Force officials, and relatives of Chinese civilians who had helped the downed airmen. Cole opened the 1896 bottle and he, Saylor, and Thatcher made the final toast to the memory of their comrades. Lieutenant Colonel Edward Saylor died in Sumner, Pierce County, on January 28, 2015, at the age of 94.

The Nedbank Ke Yona Team have replaced Shakes Mashaba with Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates legends Doctor Khumalo and Jerry Sikhosana.
The duo will work alongside Mashaba's former right-hand man Khabo Zondo. Mashaba and Zondo have been part of the talent search programme since its inception in 2013.
Asked for a comment on why Mashaba was overlooked this time around, Nedbank's sponsorship manager for football Tutu Ntuli referred this website to PR and communications manager Keenan Klizanie, who could not provide proper answers.
"We need some time to get back to you about that," Klizanie told KickOff.com.
"You need to allow us some reasonable amount of time to make a response to you. We'll get back to you sometime early next week."
In his recent statement about Khumalo and Sikhosana being part of the Nedbank Ke Yona technical team, Ntuli said: "We are delighted to have three respected figures in South African football leading KYTS this year.
"Nedbank is a long-time investor in the future of football in South Africa and we are proud to bring star quality and decades of football experience and guidance to players. These individuals will be of great benefit to the youngsters.
"It is a dream of many of these young players to work with coaches who have truly seen it all in their careers and played at the very highest level."
Khumalo has 50 caps as a Bafana Bafana player and has coaching badges obtained through the South African Football Association, English Football Association and German Football Federation.
Sikhosana will always be remembered for the goal he scored against ASEC Abidjan in The Buccaneers' African Champions Cup triumph in 1995, as well as for discovering top talents like Thabo Matlaba and Teko Modise.
On Saturday the Nedbank Ke Yona talent search will be at Thohoyandou Stadium. The trials kicked off in East London last weekend.

We can't Overlook…
What would you tell the customer in this situation? You are a driving examiner and you have to fail an applicant because they ran a stop sign. An amateur would explain that, "It's policy to not pass anyone who runs a stop sign." A professional however, would rephrase the statement to, "Running a stop sign is a safety issue that we just can't overlook. So, you didn't qualify today." The phrase "we can't overlook" something gives the same information as "it's policy", but sounds more reasoned and acceptable.

An online community is a living, breathing entity. It is made up of human members who each have their own opinions and tastes. If you make the decision to change something about your community that your members do not like, it could spell disaster.
There is a way of preventing this – ensure you involve your members when it comes to decision making.
Single-mindedness can ruin a community
As I have said before, you do not run your online community – your members do. If they are not happy, they will leave. It is your job to keep your members happy and keep them involved and engaged within your community.
Forgetting that your members are the life-blood of your community can spell disaster. You should never make large-scale changes to the look or behaviour of your website without involving your members in your decision making.
What may seem to be advantageous to you, may not be to the majority of your members. What may be a beautiful design to you, may not be to the majority of your members. Everything you do and every decision you make, needs to be geared towards satisfying them – not yourself.
If you develop a community solely to your own tastes, you will alienate your members. If they do not feel valued, they will go elsewhere.
How to involve your members in decision making
It is so easy to involve your members in decision making, I am amazed not to see it happening more frequently. If you want to know how your members will react to something, ASK THEM!
All too often it seems that community developers feel they have to 'second guess' their members and predict their tastes and needs. Why use guesswork when all you have to do is ask?
Asking your members what they want is not a sign of weakness or a lack of ability on your part – it is a sign of strength that you are willing to listen to and understand your members. It also makes your members feel more valued and involved in the community.
Before any redesign you should publish drafts and invite comments. Before you change any of the software within your site you should set up a test area and invite comments. Before you change any rules or conditions you should notify your members and invite their comments.
You will never get everyone to agree on your plans or proposals but by inviting feedback and involving your members in your decision making you will be ensuring that you cater to the majority. If you keep the majority of your members happy, you are on the path to success.

Year of the Tribe – Then and Now
Maybe this year, 2017, will turn out to be the year of the tribe. It would be nice for the city and organization after coming so close last year. This season's twenty two-game win streak sure was thrilling to witness. I am not sure we even won two in a row back with my time with the Indians. Things just seemed to fall apart for me and the team. If want to read about our stadium in 1982, click here, it typified my play there.
At the start of the 1982 season, there was such hope and enthusiasm as you will hear in this interview of some of the new Indians' players, including me. We surely believed it would be the year of the tribe when the Cleveland Indians would put it all together and not be their usual also-ran selfs.
I had just been traded to the Indians that offseason and was out to prove I belonged in the major leagues, along with wanting to turn the tribe into a World Series team. That is always the goal at season's beginning, no matter how overmatched a team may be. We had hope with a retooled team of some new young players and seasoned veterans. 1982 would surely be the year of the tribe.
It all came crashing down quickly for me. I stunk it up and had to be the worst player in the big leagues that year. This interview may have been the highlight of my time in Cleveland. Oh, how I wish I could have a chance to do it all again with what I know now. Haha, it doesn't work that way. At least, my interview went smooth, even though my time there was anything but that.
So cool to see old friends, Chris Bando, Jerry Dybzinski, and Von Hayes.

Northvale motorcyclist killed in Closter crash
CLOSTER — A Northvale man riding a motorcycle was killed in a Friday night crash with an SUV on Herbert Avenue, authorities said.
Late Friday night, authorities canvassed the scene, shining lights on the black SUV with front-end damage as they placed numbered markers around the vehicle.
An unmarked police vehicle attempted to stop a 2017 Yamaha FZ1 motorcycle traveling at "high rate of speed" a few minutes before the crash, said Police Chief Dennis Kaine. The officer had to stop the chase near Homans Avenue due to the unsafe speed of the motorcycle.
At 7:52 p.m., the motorcycle crashed into the driver's side of a 2017 Infiniti QX6 as it was making a left turn into a driveway on Herbert Avenue, Kaine said. Both vehicles were traveling north.
The motorcycle driver, a 23-year-old man from Northvale, was taken by the Closter Ambulance Squad to Hackensack University Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead, Kaine said. The driver of the SUV refused medical attention at the scene.

Police are not releasing the name of the motorcycle driver, as the investigation is ongoing, Kaine said. The Bergen County Prosecutor's Office Fatal Accident Investigation Unit is assisting with the investigation.

Vama Shah, who has lived a few houses down from the accident scene for three years, said she hears bikes outside somewhat often. It's still a pretty quiet street, Shah said, and she didn't realize what had happened at first.
"I was just eating dinner and I heard a thud," she said while standing outside her house Friday night. "All of a sudden all these police were here."

The Box Story
I counseled a parishioner who was dissatisfied with his work for a religious agency.
"I can do the work," he said, "but my heart is not in it."
Meanwhile, he was pondering the possibility of a new job that was "closer to his center."
Plus, he disclosed having chronic back pain for the last few weeks, and when he referenced his job, he always gestured as if it was distant from him.
Months later, he thanked me for telling the "box story."
He said it got him unstuck and he became free to choose a new job.
The box story went something like: "It sounds that the job you're doing is like picking up a heavy box.
However, it is not the box that is heavy; it is your position in relation to the box that makes it heavy.
If the box were at your feet, you'd bend at the knees and lift.
No problem.
However, the box is on the other side of the table, away from your center, and you have to reach over to pick it up.
Stooping over that far must be tough on your back."
Rabbi Edwin Friedman, author of Generation to Generation, used to say that what makes for burnout is not overwork.
It is not long hours.
Most people work hard.
The burn-out results from the stress of the relationships (the triangles) within the work.

True Christian living requires us to live according to Kingdom standards which bring Heaven to earth.
And if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul, then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy darkness be as the noon day, and the Lord will guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not. (Isa. 58:10-11)
In Isaiahs beautiful rhetoric quoted above, he likens the loving, caring soul to be like a watered garden. What do watered gardens do? They bring forth and nourish new life. Because they contain the ingredients for new, healthy life, they have the power to bring it forth. We, as Christians, who are committed to growing more and more like Christ, and who hare His spirit within us, also have tremendous power to bring forth new, enhanced life in those we affect. One incredibly effective way in which we can bring new life to others is through affirmation.
To affirm means to state or assert that something is true or valid. Anything we do or say to someone else that indicates that the person has value, or real worth, is affirming.
The ultimate affirmation was when Jesus died on the cross for our sake. He certainly showed us we have great value.
Affirmation makes a lot more difference than we commonly think. Being told, Hey, you did a great job, can shift a persons mental and emotional state to the positive for the whole day. When a persons mental and emotional state goes more to the positive, so does his physical state. In other words, because our mental, emotional, and physical systems are all interconnected, frequent affirmations can actually help someone become healthier. Affirmations affect deeper than on a conscious level. They affect on a gut level. They can actually enable and empower others to have the strength and motivation to do things better and to be better people all around.
Affirmations can change attitudes to the good side. They can greatly improve relationships. For example, if all the members of a dysfunctional, problematic family were to somehow decide to verbally, and in other ways, affirm everyones good behaviors, the family would improve dramatically. Everyone would do better and be happier.
I am reminded of a conversation I had with a high school basketball coach years ago while on a long train ride. He said that his training policy was not to emphasize what the players were doing wrong, but to emphasize what they were doing right. They won the tournament!
Then, too, I recall, while teaching a class in psychology, I had given the students the assignment to sincerely compliment three people during the week, and to then report back as to the peoples responses. Well, I was very gratified to hear that the recipients of the compliments were very pleased, appreciative, and brightened up. One student stated that the man he complimented even offered to wash his car!
Lets Make Affirmation a Habit!
Of course, we should never affirm, or compliment someone when he or she does not deserve it, or to merely gain some advantage for ourselves. But, opportunities to genuinely affirm, or compliment, pass us by every day! Undoubtedly all of us have noticed someone who looks especially nice or who has done a good job of something and we have said nothing. Well, probably all of us have had the experience of completing a really hard job and nobody notices how deflating that can be. But, if someone looks at that job and says, Boy, that looks great!, we feel warmth coming inside us, and we smile and thank him. We feel good about ourselves and about the other person. (Affirmation can do a lot to fight depression, too, which is epidemic in our society.)
Compliments are not the only way to affirm. Including people in social events is another way, so are phone calls, and gifts, and helps, and expressing concern. In fact, all loving actions are affirming because they are evidence to the receiving person that we feel he or she has real worth and are wanted. Loving affirmations affect persons on more than a conscious level, they affect on a gut level,
A Case for Going Light on the Put-Down Side
In considering the converse, we cant abandon constructive criticism, or correction. We all have limits set on our behaviors, from God, from our society, and from the others around us. Infringement of those limits generally carries negative consequences, mild or severe. We cant condone sin, inappropriateness, or outright carelessness. But, in our dealings with others, when we need to correct or disagree, we can still do so in as unhurtful, tactful manner as possible.
For example, we can preface a negative comment with a positive comment, such as, Thats a beautiful dress youre wearing, but did you notice your slip is showing. Or, you have done so many nice things for me, Ill be you just forgot to return the book I loaned you. You have grown so much spiritually, Ill bet you will conquer that bad habit yet! Hopefully, when we include positive comments along with criticisms, we let the person know that we do notice the good efforts he or she has been making, and the person does not then feel totally put down.
Consequences of Overloading the Negative
Receiving too many negative responses from others is very destructive to anyone. The individual feels put down, devalued, and disempowered. The person usually feels bad about him or herself, and likes the critic a lot less, especially if the criticism seems unfair or too harsh. Trust in the relationship is damaged. Emotional, mental, and physical health suffer, sometimes very badly and very long term. Usually, depending on the severity and frequency, the criticized person will not, and cannot, do as well. Feelings of happiness and joy take a nose dive. Similarly, not inviting a relative or close friend to social events, not calling, not helping, not being reasonably attentive has negative, not merely neutral effects, especially if repeated or long-term. Children brought up with criticism overload usually become very discouraged angry and act out negatively. The jails and prisons are full of such people. Or, children can become withdrawn and inhibited. Neither negative state is conducive to doing well in school.
In referring to Christians who discourage other Christians, Jesus was adamant against this. But if any one of you causes one of these little ones who trusts in me to lose his faith, it would be better for you to have a rock tied to your neck and be thrown into the sea (Matt. 18:6). We should have a lot of sermons on that one!
Where Do The Animals Fit In?
Animals, referring to those in our care in some way, benefit greatly from affirmation similar to humans. Attention paid to them, good boy, good girl, treats, being taught skills, being taken places with us, being given a comfortable environment, and the like all show them they are loved and valued in a real way. I know my dog gets excited and feels important when it is time to walk to the mailbox, or to go bye in the truck. Expert horse trainers maintain one should always end a training session with a maneuver the horse does well, which leaves the horse feeling good, because he can be successful and because we are pleased with him, Absence of affirmation, and repeated criticism and punishment, cause animals to become miserable and to languish or develop behavior problems. Same rules apply as for humans!
A Most Powerful Tool for Betterment
Isaiah was right, profound thinker and deeply spiritual man that he was. Loving, caring people do bring life to others, humans and animals. Im convinced that love and affirmation go together. Its hard to believe that one can be loving without being affirming. Also, leaving out deserved affirmations, and overloading with harsh criticisms, is certainly not loving. The importance of this topic cannot be overstated.
Noticing the good in others demonstrates good manners, graciousness, caring, and sensitivity to the feelings of others, human and animal. Such gestures also help to heal hurts others have previously experienced from people not so sensitive. Expressing affirmations also models such positive social behavior for others.
My goodness, no matter how you look at it, expressing affirmations seems to be a good way to go, and a way which Jesus would applaud!

12 Days of Christmas: Day 10 - This or That?
This is a survey that I have seen out in blogland a few times this past week. I figured I would use it for one of my days of Christmas! Feel free to play along!
1. Christmas Eve or Christmas Day? Christmas Eve was usually the day we opened our gifts growing up. I like the idea of opening up most gifts on Christmas Eve, just my sisters and my parents, and then enjoying the rest of the evening and Christmas day with the extended family.
2. Giving or receiving? I love, love, LOVE giving and finding the perfect gift for people... sometimes it makes me go crazy though, becuase I have a hard time deciding!
3. Real or artificial tree? I love real trees. My parents have gotten real ones for the past few years, and those Frasur Furs smell wonderful. The mess of pine needles is so worth the smell real trees give!
4. Angel or star tree topper? This one is a hard decision. I would have to go with Star, just because I have a really pretty one for the top of my tree and love it.
5. White or colored lights? Depends. I remember when my mom started decorating two trees. The upstairs tree was bigger with white lights and crocheted angles and pretty decorations. The downstairs tree was smaller, but had all of our kids ornaments (bought and homemade) on them with colored lights. I would like to be able to do both!
6. Tinsel or garland? Garland. I have it on my banister and above my cupboards, wrapped in white lights. Love it.
7. Wrapping paper or gift bags? Definitely wrapping paper. However, I lose patience with ribbons and bows, because they all fall off and get destroyed in my years of transporting them home. I have memories of my mom taking my gifts and adding a "little extra" before giving them. :)
8. Stockings: Before or after presents? After, preferably on Christmas Day morning since we usually opened most of our gifts Christmas Eve.
9. Snow or no snow? MUST HAVE SNOW ON CHRISTMAS! I couldn't do it any other way. It's just so magical! However, I can do without the 20 inches we got last Christmas Eve, that kept us home and not able to travel to visit family.
10. Candy canes: Eating or Decorating? EATING!
11. Hot chocolate, apple cider, or eggnog? I will pass on all three. Ask me if I want a Tom and Jerry and I am all over that!
12. Cookies: sugar or gingerbread? Sugar cookies... unless they are soft gingersnaps.

How to quickly and comprehensively improve the condition of your body and the shape of your silhouette?
There is no person who would lead one hundred percent healthy lifestyle. For most of us, eating healthy, dietetic meals is intertwined with eating random dishes bought at the market or a roadside stall, and days or weeks of training are intertwined with periods of limited physical activity.
We don't manage to fully change our lifestyle for a variety of reasons, but most often it's because we're busy and lack time. Work and household duties make us feel tired and exhausted after a hard day and we don't think about practicing sports or preparing healthy, time-consuming meals. So we go the easiest way, sit in front of the TV and eat something from the fast food or delicatessen.
Due to an insufficiently active lifestyle and shortcomings in our diet, we gain 2-3 kilos every day, and our health and well-being are becoming increasingly less ideal. The Hey!Gummy dietary supplement has been designed to correct all these shortcomings of health and beauty!
The product will be a perfect solution for everyone who wants to use a simple and effective way to get rid of excess weight, lack of vitality, upset metabolism and minor ailments that come and go, instead of going on restrictive diets and time-consuming treatments.
Hey!Gummy – a highly concentrated superfood in the form of a sweet treat
Who among us didn't enjoy eating jelly beans as a child? Some of us still do today. While ordinary jelly beans contain a lot of sugar, are fattening and have no health benefits or even harmful properties, Hey!Gummy jelly beans are good for your figure and are a bomb of valuable bio-substances! Abounding in natural, high quality ingredients, they show a whole range of beneficial actions and improve the condition of our body on many fronts, from improving digestive processes and reducing excess weight, to building immunity.
Hey!Gummy gels are an interesting alternative to supplements in tablets and capsules, and also a treat for people with a taste for sweets. They have an interesting, unique and excellent taste and, most importantly, they are not over-sweetened, which is the case with many similar products.
Hey!Gummy jel ly beans taste good, remedy body flaws and reduce ailments which most of us encounter on a daily basis.
When it is particularly worth reaching for Hey!Gummy:
- When we suffer from overweight and are looking for a way to regulate metabolism and accelerate weight loss.
- When you are struggling with acidification, digestive problems and excess toxins in your body.
- Looking for natural ways to normalize cholesterol and blood sugar levels.
- When we complain about low immunity and high susceptibility to colds and infections.
- When we often feel bad.
- When we are overworked, overtired, lacking energy and when we complain about being in poor shape.
- We want to easily and comprehensively improve our health and appearance without the need to supplement a dozen different products.
Hey!Gummy – an extraordinary formula based on a priceless ingredient
Probably each of us has heard about the health properties of apple cider vinegar, but not everyone knows how beneficial and versatile its effect on our body is. It is known first of all as a fat slayer, however, it has also many other advantages, such as building healthy intestinal flora or deacidifying the body. Why are we talking about apple cider vinegar here? Because it is the base ingredient in Hey!Gummy. Anyone who has not yet taken advantage of the benefits of apple cider vinegar, or has wanted to but was hindered by its specific, very strong taste, should try Hey!Gummy.
Just 2 gelcaps a day are enough to quickly solve many problems that plague us. A daily serving of Hey!Gummy provides us with an optimal dose of high quality apple cider vinegar, but what is important, its characteristic taste and aroma bouquet remains carefully hidden. When we eat the jelly, we don' t smell any vinegar in it at all, so we can enjoy the benefits of apple cider vinegar without being exposed to its sharp, tart taste.
It is worth noting that the apple cider vinegar in Hey!Gummy is completely natural and uncut. What's more, apart from the apple cider vinegar powder, you will also find mother vin egar in the supplement, which is a volcano of bioactive ingredients.
