School and Party news
Got a couple girls to start spending some of that green!! They were thrilled like they got lucky but it was just the reward for their effort really. Instead of a sweet or a seal they saved and got something useful and... are learning how to count,exchange and use money. It's a "Win Win" situation.
I am starting to gather the partystuff and there is less than half in this photo. Waaaay less than half. The logistics of this party are it's nightmare. Also Tim gave me his horseshoe set for keeps and pointed me towards a kids friendly (not get killed by a rogue horseshoe) version.
Another Japanese adult woman's view of her own country. Always very interesting to get hers and other adult students opinions about what is going on here in Japan.
Nodoka has joined the "Pen Patrol" I may make a special gallery just for all the girls pen collections ;)

text: Hello folks, its me again. This time I've found a great new band called Genesis. Judging by the group's name I think they're a Christian outfit. I'm reviewing a little known album by them called "Invisible Touch" which also happens to be the title of the first song. It's a real toe tapper. It's about … Continue reading Review Rewind: Invisible Touch By Genesis

Letters," and its two-hours-a-week lecturer on the history of Christianity! A full corps of the best men that can be found should be secured, to teach the humanities and the diFinity demanded by the time. First of all, our young men and women must be taught the realities of religion. An accomplished man has been hired to read lessons in Christian history two hours in the week, when he should have been asked to devote himself entirely to the exegesis of those realities of revelation in the reason and conscience of man, of the interpretation of which he might have been so great a master. The future should make amends for the past. The masters of spiritual experience must attempt, in our schools, their best work. Our students must be stimulated to think, and instructed in the methods of sound thought. Logic and philosophy must be no more lost arts among us. All the fields of inquiry must be faithfully worked, and all the best results of honest study presented in our schools. Especially must the history of humanity, and the whole literature of the race, be opened to the inquirer, to disclose all the signs and wonders of God present with man. The accredited traditions of our churches may lose something, many pious conceits may perish, theology may cease to be a thing apart from the reason and conscience of man; but the Christian ministry will make an immense gain, and will become that which the truest spirit of our time, all rational and humane as it is, imperatively demands.
Art. VIII. — THE MASSACHUSETTS BOARD OF STATE
Reports of the Board of State Charities, together with the Secretary's
Reports, for the years 1865, 1866, 1867. Boston: Wright & Potter.
MASSACHUSETTS is held, with some justice, to have been a pioneer State in many of the ideas and methods that are shaping our higher American civilization. Nevertheless, in
several very important steps, she has only followed where others have led the way. In securing the legal rights of women, for example, Rhode Island and several other States were a few years in advance. The present law of evidence is due, more than to any other, to the influence of Judge Appleton, the present enlightened chief justice of Maine, in bringing about important alterations in the statutes of his own State, afterwards adopted here. Again, the position which Massachusetts has taken, and still holds, in the vexed question of prohibitory legislation respecting the sale and use of intoxicating drinks, is the position taken first in the famous " Maine Law" of 1851. And, in the organization of a Board of Public Charities, it is the example set in the great State of New York that (with some modifications) Massachusetts is content to follow.
The Board of Education and the Board of State Charities are the finest examples we have of that ideal aim, in the legislation of a true republic, which makes it the responsible guardian of the higher interests of its citizens. They make a province of legislation which is held in some doubt by such thinkers as Mr. Mill, and definitely excluded by Herbert Spencer; yet one, perhaps, on which the pride, hope, and faith of our people have staked more than on any other. They embody some of the very noblest traditions of New England. They are the interpretation, in our century, of those devout and lofty purposes of a Christian commonwealth, which made the inspiration of the Pilgrim colony, and were at the very heart of English Puritanism. If the scheme of government which they imply — wise, enlightened, humane, caring for every moral as well as material interest of the State - could be perfectly carried out, they would make the nearest approach ever reached, or we may even say attempted, to the true ideal of a Church which should be the soul, as the political organism is the body, of the republic. In actual practice, on the other hand, this work of conscience and humanity, when undertaken by the State, has to contend with many of the difficulties which in this century make a State Church an impossibility, or else a mockery; and we have to acknowledge, that our experience hitherto has convinced some of its most earnest advocates and helpers, that it is a work which the State is incompetent to do, and that it must be left, after all, to the inspiration of single hearts and the aid of private hands.
It is not easy to imagine a group of topics more full of interest to every thoughtful and imaginative mind, than those confided to the supervision of the Board of State Charities. There is, first, the administration of the entire system of penal law, in State prisons, penitentiaries, and jails, – a matter on which more of moral genius and thoughtful humanity has been spent, since the time of Howard, than perhaps on any other, and to results, perhaps, more doubtful and perplexed than any other; a matter in which science, humanity, and public safety seem at length approaching one another, by slow and painful steps. There is, next, the class of institutions whose aim is not punishment, but restraint and reform, to save to the State the frightful waste of moral life, and rescue the germs of a useful and honest manhood out of the corruption of streets and the companionship of prisons; a work in which the way has been led by some of the purest philanthropy and most devoted lives of modern times. There is, again, the invasion of foreign pauperism to be met at the threshold, and shelter to be found for those wretched multitudes whom a common humanity will not suffer to perish at our doors; together with nurture and attendance for those miserable children of poverty and vice, sickly, doomed often to premature death for their parents' sin, whom the State must receive in its charitable arms, as a nursing mother, substituting Christian tenderness for the world's contempt. There is, again, that group of public charities — necessarily public, because too responsible to be left altogether to private hands — which exhibits the miracles of modern science and humanity, in the treatment of the insane, the training of idiots, the education of the blind and deaf and dumb. To these various State charities, besides the cost of the judiciary and the penal system, Massachusetts devoted half a million of dollars in the year 1864, the year of the last Presidential election, — the year which set on foot the severest and decisive campaigns of the war of the rebellion. And it is a
noble testimony which the Board are enabled to give, in their Report covering that year,
" that although in the midst of civil war, with entire prostration of some branches of business, and great fluctuations in others, with high prices of all kinds of provisions, yet the number asking charity from the State during the year has been less than in former years; and that the same was true as to the number dependent on the State at the close of the year. It is also a most gratifying fact, that, notwithstanding the greatly increased expenditures of the State in consequence of the war, not a single object of charity has been forgotten ; all the usual appropriations have been made, and even new calls have met with a ready and cheerful response." — Report for 1865, p. xliv.
It is to the thoughtful and vigilant administration of Gov. ernor Andrew, so decisive as to the acts and destinies of Massachusetts during the civil war, that the State owes the policy of combining the group of penal and charitable institutions just spoken of, under the supervision of a single Board. Side by side with the Board of Education, it is the most definite and emphatic announcement of the motive of its public policy, that the ancient Commonwealth has ever made, unless in the abortive effort to establish a qualified state-church system under the famous " Third Article of the Bill of Rights." And, in judging of its success, it is but just to remember how very wide and difficult is the field in which it has to operate; and how it must encounter, not only all the vexed questions of social science, but a great mass of conflicting interests, prejudices, convictions, both moral and religious, varieties in method and character, jealousies of administration, and animosities of sect. In fact, it is easiest to regard it, just now, less as a department or arm of State administration, than as an organized system for the experimental study of social science itself, in a grand and practical way. And, in its earlier years at least, it would seem even more important that it should be given in charge to competent scientific students of the great social facts it deals with, for the sake of more intelligent future action, than that it should exhibit any very striking, immediate, practical results.
In an organization of this kind, it is understood that the general policy and the working energy of the Board rest mainly with the Secretary, the only officer of it who receives a full salary, and is supposed to devote all his faculties to its service. Governor Andrew's sagacity, discernment, and courage in the matter of appointments, both military and civil, were well proved throughout his administration ; and to them the State owes the choice of the present Secretary. We consider the choice, on the whole, fortunate and wise. Mr. Sanborn is a young man, with a great deal to learn, and a great willing. ness to learn it; of high and cultivated, but not particularly practical, intelligence; of liberal, perhaps we may say radical, sympathiess with the good fortune of possessing the interest and confidence of many of the stanchest friends of humanity; with a positiveness of opinion that is sometimes mistaken for conceit, and a style of criticism that sometimes gives just personal offence; a careful and diligent student of the methods of discipline, charity, and instruction now on trial in the world ; a very intelligent expounder of what may fairly be considered to be established in the maxims of social science, or proved as the result of careful experiment. In particular, his reports and other public papers have already been of real service, in helping to make known the " Irish System" of prison discipline, — which may be considered as the nearest approach yet made to the scientific solution of a moral problem of extreme practical difficulty, - and the recent most interesting experiments in the education of deaf mutes. What may possibly be rash and partial in the judgments he is compelled to register so hastily, in annual reports stretched to cover 60 wide a field, is very sure to be chastened and corrected in time, by the exceedingly practical nature of the topics he must treat. Certainly, there could not be a sterner test, in the field of a man's labors, whether or not he enters on it with convictions and ideas. And it is not at all to Mr. Sanborn's discredit, as a student of social facts and needs, that he grapples first of all with the very plain, prosaic, practical, fundamental question of economy in finance ; though, as we shall see, the prominence he has given it has lent some shadow of excuse to those who overlook a higher sort of economy, and even made

A Shakespearean Christmas
I love this time of year, the singing, the games, the cooking. Many of the things we enjoy today were also enjoyed by Shakespeare, though in different forms…and their Christmases back then ran from Christmas Eve on the 24th all the way to Epiphany on January 6th, hence "the twelve days of Christmas."
There were many games that were played during this time, and Shakespeare's Globe in London has been kind enough to compile a list of some favorite Shakespearean games (personally, I don't recommend "hot cockels," it sounds more violent than truly enjoyable, but if you want to play after reading the description, go right ahead).
Another thing that can't be overlooked when speaking about Christmas is the food. Now, here is something where our tastes and the tastes of the Elizabethans differed greatly at times, but there are still some tasty treats that you can make if you wish to bring some Shakespeare into your holiday. Recipes are linked below.
For a sweet: Leech (it really is a sweet, not the bloodsucker)
A traditional Christmas Pudding
Here's something familiar! Gingerbread!
What would Christmas be without some Mulled Wine or Wassail?
And here's a more modern (and more appetizing, considering the original used animal innards while this just uses sugar, eggs and vanilla)version of Humble Pie.
I'll be posting some more, but please do enjoy this in the meantime, and let me know if you try any of these recipes or if you have your own versions in the comments.

I'm fortunate to be able to say my disability as a Deaf person has positively impacted my current career tremendously in a plethora of ways. I began working for my employer, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, as an intern sponsored by the American Association for People with Disabilities. Almost immediately, I was noticed for my abilities, not for the disability I was born with. Shortly thereafter, a job offer came along. My hiring and onboarding experience was expedited and done with ease because I was a Schedule A Hiring Authority candidate, which streamlines individuals with a qualifying disability(ies) into the competitive federal workforce.
As a federal employee, I'm granted the accommodations I need upon request in order to deliver my best work. Because of the mission, values, and work culture my agency nurtures, I am seen. I am heard. I am valued. This is my first work environment where I've felt like I am not "lesser than" which generates my drive to empower others. The nature of my position allows me the opportunity to advocate through systematic efforts that support populations such as people with disabilities and targeted disabilities. I rise? You rise with me.

Daisy Delight and the Try Stampin' on Tuesday Challenge #325
June 06, 2017
Time for the Try Stampin' On Tuesday Challenge. The design team alternates weeks and this week is our team's turn. I really like this clean and simple sketch.
I adore the new Daisy Delight stamp set, Daisy punch and the Delightful Daisy Designer Series paper. Unfortunately the Daisy punch can not be ordered at this time. I still wanted to use the Delightful Daisy DSP so I decided to create a card that didn't use the big daisy image and instead use the other images in the set.
Isn't the Delightful Daisy DSP beautiful? There are some great floral prints in this pack as well as some more neutral designs. This is a pack of paper that will be an easy one to use.
Product List
I hope you will join in the fun and play along with the challenge. Be sure to head over to the Try Stampin' on Tuesday blog or the Try Stampin' on Tuesday Facebook page and join in the challenge.

At this very moment, people are arguing on the Joomla Forum whether Joomla's Framework should change their license to LGPL or not. The page has reached 17 pages now. Wow. Many posts. Much word. Very debate. Amaze.
Usually, threads on the forum die a quick and painless death, so you know there's a fierce debate going on. In case you don't want to read the entire thread, I will summarize it for you:
- OSM publicly "polls" whether the community wants to "allow" this license change or not.
- The anti-LGPL brigade strikes first.
- A lot of people 'comment' +1. (Seriously, guys. That's 2nd grade math. At least ^2 a vote if you want to have an impact)
- The Pro-LGPL brigade presents their arguments for the change.
- Some anti-LGPL people who know how to use the letters on their keyboard give their reasons why they're against a license change. They've got some solid arguments.
- People start discussing other things, as well (Oooh, popular forum post. This is my change to talk about something completely different!)
- Seventeen pages later they're still going back and forth.
The core issues of the discussion
- The PLT Team wants to switch to the LGPL license. This would allow anyone to use the Framework within propiertary software. Basically, they can use it to build software that's "not open."
- People want the Joomla Framework to rebrand as "something not the Joomla Framework.
The things I don't get
People are opposing the change to the LGPL license because it would give certain people freedoms which they don't have now. I always assumed that this "Freedom" played a central role in Open Source software. I never understood the different licenses. Open and Free is Open and Free, right?
Personally, I don't see how this license change would damage Joomla. Worst case scenario (as far as I can see) is that someone can use the Framework, build something, and never give back any of the code. Isn't the entire idea of a framework that it is used as the foundation of an application, and that you build your application around this specific Framework?
Would Joomla, as a whole, really be "damaged" if someone used it to build AwesomeApp3000 and he never contributed? How can someone damage your project by "not contributing?" Some people seem to think so, and I respect their opinion and sentiment. But the optimist in me says that maybe you're opening the door for other, not-so-strictly-open-source developers to adapt the Framework. And, at some point, some of their work might flow back to said Framework. That's not bad, right?
The Not-Joomla Framework
People suggest a name change, because it might impact the Joomla brand. Others want to keep everything under one roof. I am ot a marketing specialist, and maybe I've got a simple word view, but I imagine a world where the Joomla Framework can exist (under that name) next to the Joomla CMS without being confused.
It is basically what the situation is like today. There's Joomla the CMS, and Joomla the Framework. Are people really confusing the both at this moment? I think the current "marketing" is doing a good enough job to separate the both. You download Joomla the CMS from Joomla.org, you find the Joomla Framework… wherever it's at nowadays.
We should not take "protecting Joomla as a brand" too far. People "get" that there are different products, sharing a same name. People "get" that a Ford Mustang and a Ford V8 Engine are two different things. We should not underestimate the supposedly confused audience, to settle political scores.
The post above are my personal musing on the topic(s) I've been following for a few days. I am not trying to convince anyone of anything. I don't claim I "get" everything which is being discussed. I am not picking sides and I'm certainly not "trolling" anyone. Keep that in mind when commenting. 😀

Living with a traumatic brain injury can be extremely expensive. A recent article in USA Today tells the story of Scott Hamilton, who suffered a traumatic brain injury after he was thrown off his motor scooter while riding to work. In Hamilton's case, the cost of his brain surgery and intensive care necessary to save his life were covered. But, according to the article, the expenses for critical rehabilitation care, which is needed to improve a victim's quality of life and help him or her relearn skills and abilities destroyed by the brain trauma, are typically not covered. These programs could cost anywhere between $600 and $8,000 a day depending on the type of services provided to the patient.
Thousands of patients who suffer traumatic brain injuries as a result of car accidents, slip-and-fall accidents, construction site accidents and assaults are discharged from hospitals to nursing homes, or are allowed to be bedridden in the critical early months when their brains should be healing with rehabilitation.
At least 1.7 million people in the United States suffer traumatic brain injuries each year, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Each year, 50,000 brain-injured patients die, 230,000 are hospitalized and 90,000 survive, but are disabled for life. CDC reports that at least 3 million people in this country live with lifelong disabilities caused by traumatic brain injuries. The cost of taking care of brain-injured patients in the United States is about $60 billion a year for medical care and lost productivity.
Many patients and their families do not know there is rehabilitative care available for those with traumatic brain injuries. Even those who know about it don't realize how critical it may be to start rehabilitation right away. Others may simply not have access to these services because their insurance may not cover rehabilitative services.
If you or a loved one has suffered a traumatic brain injury as a result of someone else's negligence, please remember that you have rights. Our New York catastrophic injury lawyers will provide you with information and help you understand your legal rights and options. Call us today at 1-800-WORK-4-YOU if you have suffered a traumatic brain injury.

Here's our previously shown video from the snake handling school
we attended last March.
"Sighting of the Day in the Bush"
|Our resident monitor lizard came out of his hovel for a drink from the cement pond.
I made one low carb pie for Danie and Louise, who generally follow the banting (low carb) way of eating, as do many South Africans for various health reasons. I didn't make a low carb pie for me. This time I will pass on a pie for myself based on the fact I'm still trying to lose the last few pounds on my diet and pumpkin pie, oh my, I could eat an entire pie in a day. But, not these days.
There are many other items to prepare today with the balance to be completed tomorrow. Thanksgiving dinner, although easy to prepare with recipes in my head, requires a tremendous amount of time to prepare.
Also, Dawn and Leon (owners of Jabula Lodge & Restaurant) are coming for the dinner and bringing "take-away" containers so we can provide all of our guests with containers of leftovers for the next day along with their own pumpkin pie, another one of our traditions. Everyone always enjoys leftover Thanksgiving dishes!
Unfortunately, we couldn't find a turkey anywhere in this area. Instead, we're making one roasted stuffed chicken for each couple to enjoy as they'd like during the meal, taking home the remainder along with side dishes and their full-sized pumpkin pie.
Although there will only be 10 of us dining tomorrow evening I'm making enough for the equivalent of 20 people. Then again, many of us Americans have made the festive meal for 20 or more people.
It would be a lot easier cooking today and tomorrow if it weren't so hot. Temperatures are expected to be a high of 38C (101F) or more including tomorrow. With no AC in the kitchen area and having the oven on most of the day, it will surely be one hot sweaty day.
|In March, at snake handling school, Chris, the snake handling trainer held this black mamba while Tom looked on. For that post, please click here.
We'd planned this date quite a while ago when we anticipated it might actually be the traditional "good-bye" party. One way or another we're hoping to stay until our scheduled flight to Kenya on February 20th if all goes well. No word so far.
OK, enough about cooking. On to our story about a black mamba that Louise shared with us a few days ago. As for today's photos (except for the "Sighting of the Day in the Bush" photo, we'd previously posted them in March.
However, based on today's black mamba story, and my shortage of time we thought we'd repost these few previously shown photos and the links for these specific posts.
Recently, we've frequently mentioned our new friends, Rita and Gerhard, with whom we've been spending a lot of quality time. World travelers themselves we find we have so much in common and we continually share our varied and interesting travel stories and more.
On Monday, this week, they left for a two-week visit to Germany to attend Gerhard's brother's 60th birthday party. They'll be returning before the end of this month.
|Tom was handling a black mamba and did an excellent job although he's not certain he'd want to do this in a real-life situation.
He's always classified that experience as the scariest of his life. If you'd like to read that post, please click here for the photos of the venomous snake and story of what transpired on that fateful and memorable day.
On Sunday, the day before their departure, Rita and Gerhard heard a plop on the floor of the veranda as we had on that fateful day in January 2014, when they were sitting outside, as they do all day too, like us, waiting for wildlife to stop by. This time the "plop" was a mouse perhaps being caught by the snake.
|Although a black mamba doesn't look that scary, a single bite can result in death within an hour, if not treated.
Suddenly, they saw the snake, a black mamba. Louise had given them a sheet with photos of various snakes in the event they'd have to identify one. Here was their opportunity. They grabbed the sheet and were certain it was the outrageously venomous black mamba.
As I had done years ago, Rita couldn't resist taking photos until the snake disappeared near the chimney. What would be the point of calling the rangers if the snake was nowhere to be found? They went about their day with a watchful eye knowing they were leaving the next morning for Germany.
A video that Rita and Gerhard took of black mamba on the veranda.
On Tuesday, determined to get the darned thing out of that house, Louise contacted snake handler, Jaun, (20 something) who'd attended snake school with us. He's very active in the park conducting a tremendous number of services as an Honorary Ranger and all-around caring and good guy.
On Tuesday, he and Louise sat on the veranda waiting for the snake to appear so Jaun would capture it to return it to the wild. By a stroke of luck after only a 10-minute wait, the black mamba made an appearance.
It was only 15 minutes later than Juan had captured the snake with his trusty snake grabber and his expert skill and placed it safely in a bucket with a lid. The intent in capturing snakes is always to return them to the wild where they belong. Mission accomplished, thanks to Louise's boundless determination and Juan's excellent skills.
It sounded as if Rita and Gerhard stayed calm and under control when they spotted the snake which is vital to avoid agitating it resulting in an attack. Black mambas can be very aggressive if provoked.
|For residents of Marloth Park, here is Juan's contact information.
We'd mentioned in yesterday's post that we'd share the costs for the dentist and eye doctor appointments but we don't have the final figures yet since Tom will choose his new eyeglasses next Thursday. The optometrist didn't have the style Tom prefer but he'll be bringing several pairs from his other distant location for Tom to try. Next Friday we'll update this information.
Tonight, hot as it is and as busy as we've been, we're heading to Jabula Lodge & Restaurant for dinner and relaxation. Tomorrow will be another busy day but we'll still be back with more.

Salcura Face Wash – for Clearing Spots and Dry Facial Skin, Eczema, Flaky Skin and Sensitive Facial Skin
Salcura Natural Face Wash is a 100% safe and natural cleansing wash that helps to moisturise the skin and provide the skin with vital nutrients. Natural Face Wash helps to support and soothe the skin and is especially useful for dealing with facial dry skin and flaky skin symptoms. In more severe cases Natural Face Wash is used in conjunction with Salcura Intensive and/or Salcura Gentle.
Like all Salcura products, Natural Face Wash is free from steroids, paraffin, alcohol, parabens, lanolin, anti-biotics and any other harmful chemicals.
Product Summary
Natural Face Wash is a unique nourishing and moisturising skin wash therapy for the face that will moisturise and restore dry, itchy, irritable, flaky, scaly and aggravated skin. Natural Face Wash provides maximum hydration to the facial skin and only contains a natural blend of omegas, vitamins and minerals.
Natural Face Wash contains Omega's 3, 6, 7 and 9, with Sea Buckthorn anti-oxidant extracts, several different natural moisturising and nourishing substances including wheatgerm, lavender and marigold. Most importantly, Natural Face Wash contains a high amount of Pro-Vitamin A, Vitamin E, Vitamin F and Vitamin H which provides the high impact nourishment for the skin. The important vitamins and other ingredients are specially blended to promote cell tissue regeneration and moisturisation. All ingredients protect, nourish and restore the skin cells into new stronger, suppler and better protected skin.
Natural Face Wash Benefits:
Valuable for people who may be prone to dry facial skin, eczema and acne
Moisturises, restores and replenishes to provide healthier and stronger skin
Particularly rich nourishment with Omega 3, 6, 7 and 9 for repairing damaged skin
Excellent protection from damaging substances
Fragrantly invigorates skin, inducing a feeling of refreshment
Leaves skin strong, supple, healthier and richly hydrated
TIP: Salcura Natural Face Wash has been formulated as a natural companion to our skin sprays and all our wash therapies. Used in conjunction with these products you can be guaranteed to have moisturised skin.
What exactly does Natural Face Wash do?
Natural Face Wash will supply the skin with essential Omega ingredients that help to build skin strength and skin health. The ingredients contained in the product are so fundamentally important that the skin will be significantly improved in a short period of time due to the effects that the Sea Buckthorn has on the skin. It has great anti-oxidant properties that feed right down to the lower layers of the skin and thus new skin cells that are born today will surface in a much better condition.
How do I use Natural Face Wash?
We recommend that Natural Face Wash should be applied 2 times a day if the flaky skin, dryness, irritation or rash is moderate. However, if needed, Natural Face Wash could be applied as many times a day as necessary, especially if the skin problem is more severe. You only need to apply a small amount on to the skin and you can gently massage it into the skin. It's very easily absorbed and leaves no residue or stickiness which is very helpful.
How to get optimum results with regular use.
Orthodox medicine i.e. what you normally expect to get from the doctor usually works by simply treating just the symptoms. Salcura offers you an alternative. Our natural approach tries to create a far better balance that supports the body in its own healing process, relieving your skin ailments and indeed making the skin healthier and stronger in order to maintain skin health and fight future skin problems better. The pharmaceutical drugs are perfectly acceptable if used correctly. However, Salcura offers natural ingredients and product remedies that support skin and the body on a much wider scope so that the actual root cause is better dealt with and managed, rather than just merely suppressing symptoms for a short period of time.
We are all individuals and your response to natural medicine is likely to be different to that of the next person. Usually, results are experienced using Natural Face Wash in a very short period of time. Most of our satisfied customers noticed immediate results. Other have reported that it took a little longer before the full benefits were felt meaning it could take 1 to 4 weeks.
We always advise users of our products to use them as instructed. Natural Face Wash, like any other natural remedy or alternative medicine, should be used 3 times a day on average. We also recommend that it is important to use the product regularly thereafter so that the healthy or improved skin condition can be maintained. A regular application of the product i.e. 1-2 times a day will help maintain skin health and well being.
How often should I use Natural Face Wash and why?
Use 2 times a day as and when needed everyday whilst the eczema, dry skin or skin rash irritation or problem persists. You should use Natural Face Wash because it contains many vital properties for skin healing and skin health including Omega 3, 6, 7 and 9.
How long does a bottle last?
Natural Face Wash comes in a 200ml size only. Of course how long the products last depends on how frequently it is used and how large the area to be treated is. On average, a small area can be sufficiently treated with a 200ml bottle which will last 3 – 4 weeks if used daily.
Does Natural Face Wash have any side effects?
No. We are not aware of any side effects from using Natural Face Wash. We normally find that our products in general are well tolerated and because they are so safe in the first place, reactions or side effects are almost unheard off.
Is Natural Face Wash safe during pregnancy?
Natural Face Wash is safe to use during pregnancy and nursing. In fact Natural Face Wash would also be suitable for stretch marks during pregnancy and after giving birth, since the skin elasticity will have suffered during pregnancy.
Does Natural Face Wash really work?
We believe that Natural Face Wash is a high quality and very good product for moisturising dry skin, eczema as well as flaky skin and dealing with skin irritations and aggravation. It has been sold around the world and we constantly get feedback from users about how good it is, which probably also explains why there is a high reorder rate.

TAKE THREE popular investment ideas:
Index funds, which mechanically track a group of stocks;
Sector funds, which allow you to make a bet on one industry;
Performance histories, which are what this annual fund survey is all about.
Mix them together. What do you get? One of the silliest products Wall Street has ever come up with: an index fund that specializes in funeral homes and cemeteries.
The Pauzé Tombstone Fund buys stocks of companies that do things like run funeral homes and cemeteries, make caskets and headstones, or sell burial insurance. There are only nine publicly traded death-care companies, and this fund owns all nine of them, in proportion to their market capitalizations. About half the $3 million fund is in just one stock, Service Corp. International.
What's the purpose? Asserts Philip C. Pauzé (rhymes with San Jose), the fund's 56-year-old founder and manager: "Death is an industry sector that is largely undiscovered. There are more and more people, and they're going to die. The demographics are very good."
A depressing thought, and a lousy investment idea. There's no need to pay Pauzé a management fee if you want to buy a death stock or two.
The mutual fund industry is booming, with $4 trillion in assets. That's a good thing, reflecting as it does a strong economy and a rebirth of saving. It is not necessarily a good thing that close to 10,000 funds vie for your attention, many of them, moreover, with two, three or even four different classes of shares. The whole idea of a mutual fund was to save individuals the difficult task of picking stocks. Now it's almost as tough to pick funds.
You may be tempted to throw up your hands. How can you begin to sort through all the options?
The first rule: Be wary of performance histories that aren't real results of real mutual funds. In the case of Pauzé Tombstone, there is no real history. The fund is only three months old. So Pauzé trumpets a different performance history, that of the index he is tracking.
And what index is that? Something he modestly calls the Pauzé Tombstone Common Stock Index. Earlier this year he chose Jan. 1, 1986 as the base and figured out the subsequent performance of death-care stocks, weighted for their market caps. According to his numbers, since 1986 the index would have handily outperformed the Dow Jones industrial average, the S&P 500 and just about everything else.
Terrific hindsight. For half of that period the index consisted of just two or three stocks, the main one of which;Service Corp.;has been humming.
Do you see the absurdity in this exercise? Anybody could pick a hot stock;say, Home Depot;build an "index" around it, call it the Home Center Index;and discover that the index has beaten the pants off the Dow industrials over the past decade. Yes, you could have made a lot of money in Home Depot or Service Corp. if you had bought them in the 1980s. But is that reason enough to buy the stocks now? Yesterday's hot number is more often than not tomorrow's cold cucumber.
The second rule: Be wary of funds with high costs of ownership. Since Pauzé Tombstone is an unmanaged index fund, in which investment expertise plays no role, you might expect expenses to be low. Wrong. Pauzé Tombstone's prospectus figures annual expenses at 1.13% of assets for Class A shares bought with an up-front sales load. This is nearly six times the expense ratio of the no-load Vanguard 500 Index Trust. Pauzé says the expense ratio will come down if people flock into the fund.
How did Pauzé come by this bizarre investment idea? Well, for years he had been a stockbroker in Houston, where the fund is based and where it's difficult not to notice the success of Houston-based Service Corp., a chain of over 3,000 funeral homes. Also, Pauzé had it in his blood. His father was a casketmaker near Springfield, Mass., and raised the family in a converted funeral parlor. "We had a big family, and it had a lot of space," Pauzé recalls.
That may or may not have been Pauzé's inspiration (he pleads other reasons for starting his fund), but it isn't a good reason for you to buy it;or any of the other hundreds of strange items clogging the fund lists.
Confine your attention to funds that have already delivered good results over at least a few years;"good" in relation to the risks they have taken.
Now focus on funds with a reasonable cost of ownership (load and expense ratio). We've done all this for you in the Best Buy tables that begin on page 122 and in the Honor Roll on page 140. There is plenty of first-class merchandise around. No reason to let someone sell you on something untested.

Thanks to the obscenely cheap airfares offered by easyJet and the rather dismal weather France has been experiencing of late, our family broke with tradition and decided to put off our yearly trip to the south of France until the fall. Instead, we packed up all of our warm weather clothes that had not seen any use since last September and headed down to the Sorrentine Peninsula for a week of culture (Pompei, Herculaneum), good eating (Fiore de Latte, Risotto con funghi porcini e cinghiale, anti pasti di mare, various caprese pastries, gelati and pizza so good it made us speechless) and unbridled hedonism! Okay, let me qualify that last bit -- when you have two children, "unbridled hedonism" translates as "spend all day at the beach collecting rocks and shells" ...not quite what unbridled hedonism used to mean back when I ....ahem ....but I digress.
Oh, and one other thing, this trip also meant a week of testing out my new S&S coupled Italian-made, Dutch-branded racing machine (see all the ugly details here ). Because of the family nature of this vacation, much of my riding started at an ungodly hour when not even the roosters were awake and ended before 10:00. Also, as I am committed to a heavy racing calendar (why I let myself do this at nearly 40, I do not know!), this meant that I had to get some quality training sessions in. Luckily our B&B was at the foot of Monte Faito (1400 metres) and I was able to include several hill climbing sessions. However, I did bring my camera along for some of the easier rides -- please allow me to share them with you in this postâ¦
easyJet is flying us down south while my bike rests undamaged in the luggage compartment. The unpacking of the bike is relatively straightforward. The bag itself is an airline-legal backpack case containing my clothes (in the outside pockets -- thus padding the frame) and my cut and coupled bike. The coupling job included the velcro frame protection pads -- I added the fork padding myself. In about 20 minutes the bike is ready to rock!

One of the best ways to get inspired is to visit local art hubs. You don't have to head to Toronto to see amazing art. In Kitchener – Waterloo, we are so lucky to have a rich and diverse arts culture. Here are some of my favourite Art Spots in Waterloo Region.
The Canadian Clay and Glass Gallery
This gallery is located right beside Waterloo park in a modern, stunning structure that won the Governor General's award for architecture. It shows modern art and installations from a variety of artists working in ceramics, glass and enamel. Their gift shop is just as well curated as their exhibits, featuring a variety of Canadian and local art. Entry is by donation and it is open seven days a week!

A new year is upon us and with the new year come new trends. 2016 will come with many changes and improvements to social media marketing. Technology is constantly evolving and brands are always looking to stay ahead of the trends. Industry experts have already started forecasting for 2016 -- so which trends can you leverage to build your brand's social presence?
Keep reading to explore the top 5 social media marketing trends that we expect to see in 2016.
Continued Emphasis on Security
This year, breaches of security were a major news headline. In the technology industry, LastPass fell victim to a cyberattack that compromised sensitive information such as email addresses and password reminders. This attack occurred on the heels of another major brand attack for the technology industry: Moscow-based security company Kaspersky Lab had information about the brand's newest technology compromised These data breaches brought to light a trend of hackers targeting security accounts which resulted in brands within the industry reevaluating their security processes.
These are just a few examples of security breaches, and such attacks have instilled fear and caution in consumers. Many consumers are wary of giving out any information to brands for fear of having that information obtained by hackers. More secure methods of communication and engagement on social networks such as Facebook and Twitter will be implemented. Facebook, for example, is introducing new privacy features and offering tools that encourage users to be proactive in protecting their private information.
New Platforms Get Gobbled Up
As is the norm in social media, new platforms are always popping up. Whether these upstarts become successful or not is difficult to predict. However, in the past year, the Big Three platforms (Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn) have been acquiring promising and successful networks. The most notable agreement came when Facebook acquired Instagram in 2012. In 2016, we predict fewer new platforms will emerge as the Big Three continue to be diligent in acquiring any prospects. For marketers, this means it will still be cost effective to spend time focused on the biggest networks and much less trying to decide which newer networks will stick around.
Social E-Commerce Integration
Platforms such as Facebook and Pinterest currently feature click-through options for users to link to the store and purchase an item they see on the network. On mobile devices, consumers do not even need to leave the app to make purchases on these networks. This is known as one-click purchasing, a system that Amazon spearheaded back in the late nineties. Amazon has seen great success in this concept, which has resulted in driving more sales online. Social networks have begun adapting this concept to the social platform to make the buying processes that much simpler for consumers. The concept of a "buy" button will soon be cropping up on more social media networks so that consumers can shop easily without ever leaving their beloved social experience. This advertising campaign will aid brands in capturing and converting customers before they even land on the website. Social purchases can also be shared easily, generating even more traction with consumers and their networks. Look for more emphasis on these types of integrations in 2016, which conversions being in the crosshairs of new developments.
Increased Advertising Spends
To make smart investment decisions, brands must be aware of how and where to reach its customers, both current and prospective. With millions of users across multiple social platforms, competition for advertising space online is ruthless. Businesses will begin to spend much more money on advertising. In 2015, money spent on social media advertising increased nearly 34%. It is predicted that news feeds will be dominated by advertisements and brands will spend more money to get the best visibility on networks, in the same way that brands use SEO to maintain higher visibility on Google.
Even More Immediacy
Social media is fast-paced and offers the most current information to users, which makes up a large part of its appeal. Moving forward, we can expect to see information move even more quickly, thanks in part to new networks that encourage and even require instantaneous updates and commentary such as Periscope (owned by Twitter) and Snapchat.
Instead of posting content to your website from days or hours before the image/video was taken, in-the-moment posts feature live action content. What does this mean for social media marketers? While scheduling posts will still be useful for some campaigns, as in-the-moment interaction becomes more prevalent, brands will need to figure out how to work on the fly in order to contribute to these networks and earn a following.
Now is the time to prepare ahead for 2016. Prepare action plans and budgets that will reflect new and upcoming trends in social media. By staying ahead of the trends, your brand will find much greater success on social media in the next year.

The Endless Bailout
Every once in a while there is a confluence of events that conspire to allow the American people a glimpse of the sordid underbelly of our government, finance capitalism, and anti-European-American policies all at once. The bail-out of our banking system, jointly proposed by Treasury Secretary Paulson and Federal Reserve Chairman Bernanke, is just such a confluence.
Failures of our Age: Capitalism and Communism
MOST AMERICANS have grown up under the erroneous assumption that capitalism and communism are polar opposites, because the former system provides for private ownership of property, whereas the latter does not.
Like most effective lies, this misconception is promulgated through the absence of full information, thereby leading to false conclusions.
On its face, capitalism allows for the ownership of private property; but upon closer examination, that ownership is illusory and conditional.

Plato, Bernard Beckett, poetic imitation
Just reading a (really good) introduction to 'literary theory' by Mary Klages (Literary Theory: A Guide for the Perplexed) and came across a section on Plato that put me in mind of Bernard Beckett's Genesis. She is describing his theory of forms… then writes:
"Philosophers use logic and reason to discover truth. Artists, by contrast, evoke emotions by making representations of the world we can perceive through our senses. For Plato, all art was representational; whether in words or colors, poetry or painting, art created pictures of the material perceivable world, which Plato called 'nature.' But since 'nature' was itself only a reproduction, a copy, of what exsisted in perfect form in the realm of the ideal, any art that reproduced nature was merely copying from a copy. For Plato, an artist's work was always twice removed from the world of truth and ideal perfection. …Plato worried that art and artists might threaten social order, because they might distract citizens from the pursuit of the eternal truths which were the only unfailing source of goodness. In Book X of the Republic Plato points specifically to poets and poetry in warning that 'all poetic imitations are ruinous to the understanding of the hearers, unless as an antidote they possess the knowledge of the true nature of the originals.' Though Plato in other dialogues tries to salvage poetry by urging poets to write about the lives of exemplary statesmen to encourage citizens to emulate their virtues in the Republic he reluctantly but firmly banishes all poets as too dangerous to remain in his ideal society." (Klages, p.13)
What interests me about this is not just Bernard Beckett's use (in his YA novel, Genesis) of Plato and of certain of Plato's arguments and premises (as put forward in the Republic), but how Beckett also writes the text to engage the reader in a double reality in which their perception of what is happening is played upon… these different levels are what I most enjoyed about the novel – that and how they are created by intertextuality that is at once overt and covert, …even a little subversive…

Bring Your Deep Learning Model to Kinetica
How can we avoid the data science black hole of complexity, unpredictability, and disastrous failures and actually make it work for our organizations?
According to this recent Eckerson article the key is operationalizing data science:
We, as a field, and I mean academics, scientists, product developers, data scientists, consultants … everybody … need to redirect our efforts towards operationalizing data science. We as practitioners can unleash the power of data science only when we make it safe and find a way to fit it into normal business processes.
Here at Kinetica we couldn't agree more! What's the point of building a brilliant model if you can't actually get it into production? That's the problem we're helping to solve by streamlining this machine learning (ML) operationalization process. Kinetica's GPU-accelerated engine can easily and quickly run deep learning models in parallel across multiple machines. Our CUDA-optimized user-defined functions API, makes it simple to prepare, train and deploy predictive analytics and ML.
In this blog, we'll go through the process of registering and running a trained image classification model in Kinetica. This is an example of operationalizing ML workloads with a GPU data engine to create a quicker path to value for work coming from an organization's data science teams.
Download a trial of the Kinetica engine.
Model Details
The model used here is trained through transfer learning, the base model is Mobilenet. The training dataset is Food101. The model has a top-1 accuracy around 71%. In this example, the model itself is a standalone Google protobuf file. For TensorFlow, the advantage of using protobuf is that it contains both graph definition and parameter weights. In other words, you can use a single protobuf file to load the whole model graph.
Preparing the Input and Output Tables
To prepare an input table, we can use the Kinetica File System (KiFS) to create a table named foodimages and upload images through the UI. You can check out my colleague's previous blog for details about using KiFS.
For the output table, we'll use the following SQL to create an empty table:
Register the User-Defined Function (UDF)
Before registering the UDF, make sure: cluster→ conf→ enable_procs = true, if you're using a GPU instance, read the "Run on GPU" instructions for setup.
You can use the UI to register UDF as following:
Name: foodrec
Command: python
Arguments: Food_predict_kifs.py
Distributed: yes
Files: food101.pb, food101.txt, Food_predict_kifs.py
Execute UDF
Using the UI, go to UDF→ UDF. Select foodrec, click the execute button, specify input table = foodimages, output table = foodclassification, then click the execute button in the small window.
UDF details
Now let's take a look at the UDF itself. There are three files we registered:
Food101.pb: Tensorflow model in protobuf format.
Food101.txt: Contains all the class names, in this example, food names.
Food_predict_kifs.py: UDF code.
For the UDF code, function readLabel is used to read the Food101.txt file into a python dictionary object like {0:"apple pie", 1:"baby back ribs"…}.
The function load_graph loads the protobuf object into a tensorflow default graph. The input tensor name is 'Placeholder:0' with shape [none, 224,224,3]. This allows a batch of images with width=224, height=224, channel number=3. The output tensor name is 'final_result:0' with shape [none, 101].
As the general images may have arbitrary width and height instead of 224×224, we need to get a tensorflow subgraph to do the transform. The function transform builds a subgraph which takes in an image in binary bytes with any width and height and transforms it to 224×224.
The function run_inference_on_image takes in an image in bytes and outputs the class index number. For example, if the prediction is baby back ribs, the returned number will be 1.
All the four functions above are standalone modules. It can be used outside Kinetica for testing. The main function below contains the pipeline to load data from Kinetica database and write it back to the database. In every UDF, proc_data = ProcData() needs to be called before loading input data and proc_data.complete() needs to be called after writing output data into output table. Note here we use a for loop to go through each image. This design is to make sure it can run from a very small Kinetica instance (for example, the CPU version on a laptop) to a large cluster without incurring an "out of memory" error. It's very straightforward to switch to batch mode instead of using the for loop.
Run on GPU
This UDF runs on CPU by default so if you're running Kinetica on GPUs like most of our users, you'll need to do some extra steps to get it set up.
Shutdown Kinetica, modify Cluster→ conf:
enable_procs = true
enable_gpu_allocator = false
Modify Food_predict_kifs.py:
By default, this UDF only runs on CPU, from line 7:
To modify it to use certain GPUs (for example, GPU with index 0):
If your cluster has multiple nodes, and each node has multiple GPU cards, this will force every UDF to use its number 0 GPU card on its node.
If all the GPU cards are available, you can set it as following:
os.environ['CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES'] = str(int(proc_data.request_info["rank_number"]) – 1)
This way each TOM will use the GPU that's attached to its own rank.
Another thing to note is: by default TensorFlow will try to grab all the GPU for each session, this can easily cause an CUDA "out of memory" error. To avoid it we need the following:
This won't be effective by default unless you change the following in the main function:
with tf.Session() as sess: → with tf.Session(config=gpu_options) as sess:
I hope this blog provided a helpful guide on registering your own model in Kinetica! The ability to run your AI and ML workloads on Kinetica alongside streaming and geospatial analytics is incredibly powerful. Keeping all of your data operations on a single engine increases time to insight and enables a wider range of users to leverage the power of your data, from business analysts to data scientists. If you have any problems or questions please leave a comment.

Sales of wine barely increased in total volume terms in 2018, as the new tax scheme discouraged consumption and motivated a shift towards beer. The changes in the legislation had a negative impact on reserve and mid-priced wines, which saw strong increases in taxes, with many brands disappearing from shelves.
Amidst a difficult landscape for wine, sparkling wine was able to see rapid growth, driven by consumption by females, as it is an appealing drink to share at informal gatherings with friends in the afternoon, for picnics, or in the preparation of cocktails, such as Aperol Spritz. Also, the increasing offer of Lambrusco, Cava and sparkling wines with other origins, with a broad range of prices, has been able to captivate the interest of consumers curious for new experiences and new consumption occasions.
2018 was a difficult year for the Colombian economy, and for consumers, who were adjusting to changes in the tax burden; thus curbing expenditure on non-essential products or trading down to more affordable alternatives. Wine was one of the most affected products in consumer foodservice, with consumers reducing or eliminating wine from their orders, because of the strong increases in prices.
Enalia was able to succeed in wine in 2018, leveraging the positive performances of Cariñoso and Sanson. With the changes in law 1816, these products were reclassified as wine aperitifs, benefiting from a decrease in the ad valorem tax from 25% for liqueurs to 20% for wine and wine-based products, allowing it to keep prices steady.
From 2018, Santa Rita, belonging to Diageo, began to be distributed by Marpico. Its strong distribution network was a key point for the change in strategy for Diageo, in an environment of fierce price competition, in which a presence in retailers is crucial for a brand such as Santa Rita, which has a long presence and recognition in the market, with affordable wines for different types of consumers.
In terms of imported wines, Chile remains the most important country of origin, followed by Argentina – seeing no significant changes in recent years. These countries offer a broad range of brands and price ranges which are suitable for different groups of consumers.

Today I revealed some news on Facebook that I'm really, really excited about: My book about Kickstarter will be published by Berrett-Koehler in 2015.
Being a published author has been a lifelong dream of mine. I always pictured (and hoped, in a way) that the book in question would be a novel, but the fates have decided otherwise.
And that's probably a good thing. A novel lets people escape the real world, but the book I'm writing about Kickstarter is all about helping people realize their dreams through crowdfunding, and in a way that adds value to everyone involved.
A while ago I mused that if I became a published novelist, I would need to get novelist hair–something along the lines of a big, bushy beard like Patrick Rothfuss and George R. R. Martin.
But I'm not publishing a novel–this is a work of nonfiction along the lines of a Malcolm Gladwell book (probably the most accurate comparison is Tony Hsieh's Delivering Happiness). So there's a whole new set of hairstyles to consider. They have to exude a sort of nonchalant intelligence.
I haven't received the official author guide from my publisher yet, but I can only assume it's full of recommended hair styles. In the meantime, I'm open to suggestions.
Well, first of all, congratulations are in order, Jamey. As to your query, well, considering BK is a progressive publisher, may I suggest a Jack Kerouac?
Exactly like this? Oh, please put Biddy in the picture, too.
Go bald or go home, Jamey. (Which essentially means "stay home," I guess, since you work from home and almost definitely read blog replies from there as well.)
Really though, what better personal publicity could you get though, than having hundreds of people ask you why you shaved your head?
Please check Jamey's hair line.
