The Humber Renewables Awards
2013, which are dedicated to the Humber's green energy industry and
showcase the "talent" the region offers the sector, brings together
individuals, businesses and other organisations which are all
playing their part to make the area a leading centre for low-carbon
For the second year running
Rollits is sponsoring the Humber Renewables Champion category at
the Awards, which take place on Friday 1 March at The Deep in
The Humber Renewables Champion
section is aimed at an individual, company or public sector body
that has passionately shouted about the merits of the region,
raising its profile in the renewables arena.
Mark Dixon says: "Rollits is
strongly committed to the energy agenda and the Humber Renewables
Awards showcase the region's best talent in this sector. Last
year's awards highlighted all the renewable energy initiatives in
this region, bringing together all the key players in a
star-studded event.

anticipation following the decision to grant planning permission
for Green Port Hull, has set the scene for local companies such as
the Spencer Group to gear up for the renewable opportunities that
lie ahead.
"Last year we launched our new
website highlighting our sector expertise in the renewables arena
which draws together multi-disciplinary expertise from across the
firm to service the renewables sector.
"We continue to advise landowners and
developers on a whole range of renewable energy developments, in
particular wind energy, hydroelectric schemes and PV advice. The
current planning system remains a challenge for all those involved
in this sector.

landowners throughout Yorkshire on wind farm developments at all
stages, and has helped many agricultural clients to maximise the
returns offered by wind energy installations.

experience in biomass, photovoltaic technology combined heat and
power plants and hydroelectricity developments and work on behalf

Welcome to the Reid House, located in Matthews, North Carolina.
Built by Edward Solomon Reid in 1890 by a local businessman and later sold to his dear sister Ellen in 1893. That year, Ellen married Dr. Thomas Neely Reid (they had the same last name - but weren't related).
Dr. Reid graduated from City University of New York and settled in Matthews to practice medicine in 1889. He served until his death in 1946 aged seventy-eight.
He was a colorful figure in town, beloved by his patients. Dr. Reid was one of the first people in Matthews to trade his horses for the "new fangled" automobile.
The house was named for Miss Nancy Reid, the youngest of Dr. and Mrs. Reid's daughters. She was born in the house on January 9, 1898 and lived there until her death on January 25, 1986.
She was well educated and taught in the Charlotte Mecklenburg School System for thirty-five years. Mrs. Sarah Redd of Columbia, South Carolina, a niece of Miss Nancy's, inherited the house upon her death.
Mrs. Redd generously gifted the house and property to The Matthews Historical Foundation on December 31, 1987.
The Reid House is considered unique because it was one of the few Victorian Queen Anne style homes built in Mecklenburg County. With its design of gingerbread cupola, Chinese Chippendale porch railing and rounded turret it has remained a wonderful example characteristic of Victorian style.
The large windows, still with the original glass, the height of the interior walls, nearly 12 feet, and the woodwork and cross molding above the windows all are evident in homes of this era. Unfortunately, the furniture is not original to the house but is period correct.
The gazebo was constructed in 1996, using the Chippendale woodwork pattern found on the front porch as a guide. It makes a wonderful addition to the large backyard.
Hope you enjoyed the Holiday open tour.
Have a blessed Christmas week,

- Offers considerable benefits for sportspeople keen to improve their performance.
- Reduces cramps, soreness and muscle fatigue.
- Increases the body's metabolic rate.
Extensively studied, citrulline offers considerable benefits for sportspeople keen to improve their performance. Like taurine, citrulline may help reduce the accumulation of ammonia in the body, so preventing cramp, soreness and muscle fatigue.
As a precursor of arginine, citrulline also promotes the production of nitric oxide, a compound with vasodilatory effects beneficial for muscle activity. To increase nitric oxide synthesis, other arginine supplements are available such as the complexes Acetyl L-Carnitine Arginate and Arginine Silicate Inositol, and the specific form Arginine Alpha Ketoglutarate.
Citrulline is a non-essential amino acid which the body produces from other nutrients under the right conditions. Together with ornithine and arginine, citrulline plays a particularly important role in what is called the urea cycle, in the liver.
In the course of this cycle, the toxic ammonium ion is converted into urea. Any disturbance to this cycle - which is essential for eliminating toxic metabolites of nitrogen - can result in a lethal build-up of proteins such as ammonia in the blood. Citrulline or arginine supplements are often recommended to treat such problems. Citrulline is also a precursor of the arginine produced during this cycle.
French researchers have recently shown that citrulline modulates muscle protein metabolism in old, undernourished rats. Preliminary studies suggest that it may directly stimulate protein synthesis.

Multiple departments knock down fire at apartment complex in North Richland Hills
Just before 1:30pm this afternoon, North Richland Hills and automatic aid departments responded to an apartment fire in the 5500 block of Lewis Court.
Light to moderate smoke was showing from the roof upon FD arrival. Watauga FD, Richland Hills FD, and Haltom City FD all responded to assist North Richland Hills. Bedford FD sent their Light & Air truck as well.
Fire was confirmed in the walls and attic of the two-story apartment building, making it difficult for the firefighters to locate and knock down. The fire was running in the walls and up into the roof.
The fire was officially declared out at around 2:45pm.
Thank you to Michael Beard for these on-scene photos.

Organizers of Sunday's march said around 2 million people took part, a substantial increase on the 1.03 million claimed last week and against expectations of lower turnout following violent scenes outside the legislature on Wednesday. Police said 338,000 people took part Sunday. Large numbers of protesters gathered in the city's Victoria Park just after midday Sunday, donning black and wearing white ribbons on their chests. Many carried bunches of white flowers to honor a man who died after falling from a building Saturday while holding banners opposing the extradition bill."We buy the white flower to hope that he can rest in peace," said 23-year-old Michael, who works in concessions and gave only his first name. Like many others around him, he carried a sign saying "Freedom is Not Free."On Saturday, Chief Executive Carrie Lam, the top official in Hong Kong, said passage of the bill would be suspended and a second reading due to take place this month canceled. There is no timeline for discussions around the bill to resume, Lam said, and she indicated it likely will not pass this year.Faced with yet another huge protest over her handling of the bill, Lam issued a rare apology Sunday night, admitting "deficiencies" in the government's work had led to "substantial controversies and disputes in society," causing disappointment and grief for citizens of Hong Kong.But for the protesters, neither the suspension nor the apology was enough. They fear the bill could be used to extradite residents to mainland China for political or inadvertent business offenses and are pushing for it to be shelved completely. "We need to come out and tell the government we cannot approve this China extradition bill," said Michael, adding that he believed Lam would continue to push for the bill at a later date. "We need to stop this because Hong Kong is a very special place. The economy, the culture, it's a special one for the world," he said. Members of the early crowd were predominantly young people, but they were soon joined by families.Aerial shots along the protest route, from the city's Victoria Park through the downtown area to Tim Mei Avenue in Admiralty, showed the crowd at standstill, as crowd numbers continued to surge throughout the afternoon and into the early evening.Mandy, who turned 18 on Sunday, said she didn't attend the first anti-extradition protest on June 9 when organizers estimate more than 1 million people — about one in seven of the city's population — took to the streets in a peaceful march against the legislation."Through this week I think the problem has become more and more serious and I should stand out. So I joined this campaign today," she said. "I think this protest is more important than my birthday so I come here," she said. Chik Kim Ping, 65, and her husband Tse, 70, traveled from the New Territories in the north of the city to protest the extradition bill. "It's important for us to do this for our children," Chik Kim Ping said. "We are old and don't have much time left. We won't see what's going to happen in 2047 (when Hong Kong fully becomes part of China) but our children will."Police presence on parts of the march was more or less invisible, a stark contrast to Wednesday's heavy crackdown involving hundreds of officers in heavy riot gear using tear gas and rubber bullets.
No violence
The decision to go ahead with Sunday's protest followed violent clashes between police and protesters Wednesday, after tens of thousands of mostly young people surrounded the city's government headquarters, forcing legislators to postpone a debate on the bill. Organizers of Sunday's demonstration called for authorities to drop charges against the 11 people arrested during protests Wednesday, amid widespread criticism of police tactics. Many of those attending Sunday's march carried signs with the slogan "stop killing us" alongside images of bloodied protesters.Up to 5,000 riot police fired 150 rounds of tear gas, rubber bullets and bean bag rounds during the course of Wednesday's clashes. The number of tear gas canisters used was almost double the amount fired during 2014's pro-democracy Umbrella Movement, when the city was brought to a standstill for 79 days.Videos from Wednesday's protest showed police spraying tear gas directly into protesters' faces and beating them with batons.Speaking after Lam's news conference Saturday, pro-democracy lawmaker Claudia Mo said protests would continue throughout the city until she steps down."If she refuses to withdraw, to scrap tRead More – Source

12 Seconds to Success
When shoppers walk into Disneyland, a Las Vegas casino, a CVS or any retail giant's store what they don't know is that their entire customer experience has been carefully scripted by neuroscientists, marketers, psychologists, and geographers to optimize how much a shopper spends.

How Trader Joe's kicks Amazon and Whole Foods butts
There is NO local business product or service that Amazon does not want to take over. Do not think your local business is too small or that you can hide behind your local niche, quality, and service? Rethink your point of view. Or better yet – decide to fight back and win.
They aren't idiots. Facebook and Google don't advertise.
Facebook, Google, Amazon, Microsoft, and many other billion-dollar big tech companies don't spend on advertising because they know that advertising doesn't work, is corrupt with fraud, and cuts into their profits. They are billion-dollar companies because they sell advertising.

Customer Stalking!
Stalking is what perverts and crazy people do. Stalking is when someone is fixated on someone else and follows that person around. It is creepy. Amazon and the retail giants are stalking your customers.

Once famous for the 'Bolsover Buckle', and home to Bolsover Castle, Bolsover is less well known as the birthplace of the 'forgotten geographer' Peter Fidler, the first person to map parts of Canada and the first to find coal there. Visit the Peter Fidler Reserve and look out for the stone cairn that commemorates his connection to Bolsover.
Bolsover Castle isn't really a castle, even though it looks like one, it's an elegant 17th Century mansion. The site on top of the hill would certainly suit a castle and, in fact, there was a Norman castle built there. Charles Cavendish, the son of 'Bess of Hardwick', pulled the castle down and built his mansion there. It was finished by his son William, who added state apartments and the massive indoor riding school. Now owned by English Heritage, the Castle is open to the public all year round and hosts a series of living history events in summer.
Bolsover was mentioned in the Domesday Book as the property of William Peveril. William may have been the illegitimate son of William the Conqueror and Bolsover became the family seat. It was the Peverils who built the 12th Century castle that Charles Cavendish demolished in the 17th Century.
Today Bolsover is increasingly popular for the specialist antique shop, Bolsover Antique Centre, the Food and Drink Festival ad independent cafes serving local produce.
Markets in Bolsover are held in Cotton Street on Tuesdays (8.30 am1 pm), and Friday, with a flea market from 8.30 am-1 pm on Thursdays.

OTI License Renewal Process to Begin in Mid-2017
The Federal Maritime Commission indicated recently that the launch of the online ocean transportation intermediary license renewal process has been pushed back from late 2016 to mid-2017. The FMC notes that a total of nearly 5,000 OTIs will need to have their licenses renewed over a three-year period. This requirement is one of numerous changes to the FMC's OTI regulations that were finalized in October 2015.
According to an agency press release, at a Nov. 17 meeting FMC staff reported that significant progress has been made in building the information technology-based system that will be used for OTI license renewals and in beginning to advise regulated entities of the procedures for complying with the new requirements. In February 2017 the FMC will officially contact the first group of those qualified to have their licenses renewed and provide them with user names, passwords, and instructions on the process for completing license renewals. The new system will communicate with regulated parties via email, so OTIs are encouraged to confirm with the FMC's Bureau of Certification and Licensing that they have submitted an accurate email address to the agency.
Further information about the OTI license renewal process can be found here.

Dear Editor;
There have been many complaints coming forward about the Catholic School Boards in Edmonton and Calgary advising against giving the HPV shot against cervical cancer to young girls. When one thinks of the outcome of the thalidomide project, one ought to start first with considering the question as to whether there should there be reasons for skepticism of the current HPV vaccine plan.
Canadian Family Action Coalition (CFAC) was the first to check out concerns about the HPV vaccine for cervical cancer. It reported, 'We had read of the harmful effects from this HPV drug — blindness, paralysis, etc, numbering 2,200 —- as reported by reputable US agencies such as NVIC, the National Vaccine Information Center (U.S. based).
CFAC found that the new Gardasil vaccine had undergone less than four years of testing, that relatively few girls between the ages of nine to 15 years were involved and that consequently there is no answer about the vaccine's longterm safety. Some have characterized the vaccination program as a huge Canadian experiment with young schools girls as the guinea pigs and with side effects unknown, e.g. could young girls be rendered sterile at some future time.

Harry Potter was the book of my childhood as it is for a lot of people. So of course, I was naturally stoked to find out they were building The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios. Besides the great attractions, I'm in love with their food. The weird and totally bizarre treats are not only reminiscent of the books, but they also taste pretty darn good.

text: Yield to maturity is a basic investing concept used by investors to compare bonds of different coupons and times until maturity. Zero-coupon bonds come with no recurring coupon payment, which makes their yield to maturity equal to the normal rate of return on a bond.The formula for calculating the yield to maturity on a zero-coupon bond is: Yield to Maturity = (Face Value / Current Price of Bond) ^ (1 / Years to Maturity) - 1 Consider a $1,000 zero-coupon bond with two years until maturity. The bond is currently valued at $925. To get its yield to maturity, divide its $1,000 face value by its current value of $925, to the 1 over years until maturity. Then subtract by 1. The equation produces a value of .03975, which is rounded and listed as a yield of 3.98%. If economic uncertainty makes an investor more willing to hold a bond, the bond's price will probably rise, which will increase the denominator in the formula. As a result, the yield will decrease.

Jeff Overall
Founder and CEO, PolarPro
A native of Newport Beach, CA, Jeff Overall is the Founder and CEO of PolarPro, the company he started in 2011 from his college house during his senior year at the University of California Santa Barbara. Since then, Overall has led a massive expansion of the PolarPro brand from a singular product into an enterprise encompassing a diverse array of products for action cameras, consumer drones and smartphones.
PolarPro was born when Overall brought a professional solution to a traditionally consumer market. As a member of the ski team, Overall was frustrated by the poor footage he was capturing from his GoPro camera. The seemingly-ubiquitous action cameras were becoming more common on the slopes, but its technology met its limitations shooting on California's sun-washed snow. After some duct tape prototyping, PolarPro was soon taking orders from its patented snap-on lens filters from teammates and other ski fanatics.
While he continues to make time to get out and explore the world, Overall has continued to drive PolarPro's explosive growth to include a diverse product catalogue for urban and off-grid adventurers alike. The PolarPro team, made up of action sports enthusiasts and cinematographers, now includes 14 employees at its Costa Mesa, CA headquarters, and its products are distributed to major consumer electronics retailers in 57 countries throughout the world.
In November 2015, Overall appeared on ABC's popular Shark Tank series where he was able to parlay a bidding war amongst the show's celebrity investors into a million dollar on-air deal with Sharks Mark Cuban and Robert Herjavec. He has been profiled in industry-leading business publications such as Forbes and Business Insider; and under his leadership PolarPro has been honored by the Orange Country Business Journal with a 2016 Innovators of the Year Award.

If you followed a few posts from last year you might notice I started an open source project, blogged on it 3 times and then nothing. Three things happened. First, I hit a couple of road blocks slash speed bumps that slowed me down and discouraged me. Second, I became fully contracted with a bit of a commute which took away time for side projects. And, third I recognized that NIOS running Linux was at least passe and at most never relevant given that FPGA SoCs come with ARM processors now and running Linux on a NIOS is probably not practical.
So, now I am back to NOT fully contracted, ready to fight through road blocks and speed bumps and looking for something relevant. If you have been reading my recent posts, and by you I mean me, since based on the stats for this blog it is more of a personal journal than a publication, then you know I have been exposed to all of the open source platforms at the ESC conferences as well as crowd funding and entrepreneurship. So, I am off on another side project until one of three things happen (see above).
I am open to suggestions if anyone has a good one.

Too many people think that moving to an apartment is super-easy. After all, it couldn't possibly be as difficult as moving to a house, could it? Actually, it can be! In fact, it can be a little trickier in some ways.
To help you successfully get all your belongings safely into your next hacienda, try these apartment moving hacks:
- Use elevators whenever possible. Sure, you want to get lots of exercise on moving day, but that doesn't mean you should kill yourself on the stairs.
- Use freshly laundered dish towels and linens instead of rough, dirty newspapers to support fragile items like glasses and plates. That way you won't have to clean everything.
- Make a map of your apartment on paper, including the measurements. Then, measure your furniture to be sure it fits. If it doesn't, you'll know before you get into the apartment — and you won't move furniture you'll just have to get rid of anyway.
- Use packing as a chance to throw away, give away or sell items you no longer want. You may even want to hold an indoor "yard sale" to get rid of major items if you're totally redoing your apartment.
- Consider hiring professional movers if possible. That way, if anything is damaged during the move, you'll be protected. On the other hand, it's fine to get friends to help out — if you can find ones with strong backs and great attitudes!
- Learn how to take apart your furniture, like kitchen tables. Many people don't realize that even solid wood furniture can sometimes be taken apart to make storage and transport easier.
- Wait to clean your old apartment until after you leave. It's so much easier than cleaning it before moving day.
- Color-code all your boxes. Then, be sure everyone knows which color represents which room. (e.g. red is the dining room, yellow is the bedroom)
- Use smaller boxes to pack your books. They weigh more than you think! If you only have larger boxes, pack the bottoms with books and the upper two-thirds or three-quarters with lighter objects.
- Keep your clothes on their hangers. Zip-tie the hanger tops, cover them in a garment bag or plastic bag and move them to your new closet as-is.
The goal for your move should be simplicity and stress reduction. Be sure to take breathers throughout the day and remind yourself that, before long, you'll be able to relax with your own things in your new place.

November 9, 2018
The results of the 2018 midterm Congressional elections are still coming in and Jewelers of America has prepared a summary of the major changes on Capitol Hill and what they could mean for key issues that affect jewelry businesses.
Jewelers of America's legislative counsel, Haake & Associates, headquartered in Washington, D.C., kept a close eye on the 2018 elections to determine control of Congress. Timothy Haake has decades of experience with Capitol Hill and private sector legislative and regulatory policy. What follows is their breakdown of the results and what it means for legislation that could affect jewelry business.
The Results: Success for JAPACAs of this writing, 15 candidates supported by the Jewelers of America Political Action Committee (JAPAC) won their elections in the House and Senate. This ensures that JAPAC, which is the only PAC that represents the fine jewelry industry in Washington, D.C., continues to have an impactful voice on Capitol Hill. The makeup of the new Congress could offer opportunities for bipartisan issues that Jewelers of America advocates for, like sales tax fairness, to gain ground.
House of RepresentativesIt was a partial "Blue Wave" as Democrats were able to win enough seats in the House to wrestle control from Republicans for the first time since 2010.
- House: 225 Democrats, 197 Republicans (13 races undecided*)
SenateRepublicans retain the majority they've held since 2014 and gained several seats.
- Senate: 51 Republicans, 44 Democrats, 2 Independents (Independents caucus with the Democrats) (3 races undecided*)
*Results as of November 9, 2018
What It Means for Jewelers' Issues
Sales Tax FairnessJewelers of America has fought for decades to level the playing field for our brick-and-mortar member retail stores. With the U.S. Supreme Court decision in June to overturn the 1992 Quill Corp. v. North Dakota case, we've won a victory to achieve this goal. However, we believe Congress may still need to act to create a federal framework for online sales tax collection.
Impact of New Congress
If Congress does need to step in, it could be in a better position to do so.
- Rep. Bob Goodlatte (VA-6), Chair of the House Judiciary Committee, who staunchly opposed sales tax fairness is retiring, opening up the opportunity for new leadership. If new legislation is needed and introduced, this change could help clear a path for passage, which had previously stalled in the Committee despite having bipartisan support.
- With Democrats taking over the House, Rep. Jerrold Nadler (NY-10), the highest ranking Democrat on the Committee and supporter of sales tax fairness, could take over as Chair.
- The measure has consistently had bipartisan support in the Senate, where long-time Republican champions of sales tax fairness remain in office. Therefore, we do not expect the new makeup of the Senate to have a major impact on introduction of any new bills or eventual passage.
What's Next
- For now, Jewelers of America and other proponents of sales tax fairness like the National Retail Federation are taking a "wait and see" approach as states implement legislation in the wake of the Quill decision.
- Jewelers of America will continue to watch the issue closely and provide information and education to members (like our recent September webinar) on how they can best comply with the changing sales tax landscape with the Quill decision.
FTC: "Made in USA" designationUnder an existing Federal Trade Commission (FTC)standard related to "Made in USA," the point of origin of materials used in the manufacture of jewelry is the only consideration when determining whether or not that jewelry can use the "Made in USA" designation. We believe this is misguided and ignores the work and skilled labor of the U.S. jewelry workforce.
Jewelers of America continues to push for an update to the FTC's standards on this issue. During JAPAC's D.C. Fly-In held in June, jewelers received positive reception from lawmakers on both sides of the aisle when discussing "Made in USA." More recently, Jewelers of America helped craft language included in a letter from the Senate Appropriations Committee to the FTC asking the Commission to clarify its position on the issue.
Impact of New Congress
- If the FTC doesn't address requested changes from the Senate Appropriations Committee, it and Congress could take steps to change the requirements. Given the issue has bipartisan support, we do not anticipate major changes in strategy with the incoming Congress, and JA will continue to push for changes to the current requirements.
Last-In, First-Out (LIFO) Accounting MethodRepeal of LIFO would deal a potentially fatal blow to companies in the jewelry industry that use the long-standing method of accounting for inventory. Jewelers won a key victory in the fight to preserve LIFO last year, when repeal was kept out of tax reform.
Impact of New Congress
- Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle could continue to see repeal of LIFO as a very favorable revenue-raising option as they look to reduce the deficit. LIFO is safe for now, but we continue to watch the issue closely as the political winds shift.

You are currently browsing the daily archive for Friday, October 3, 2008.
When you finish reading this, you must read my friend's blog… Jeff Carter had a fun time at his own license branch.
Saturday I searched in vain on the internet to find the DMV's hours. I could not even locate a telephone number for the Centerville branch. I arrived at 2:01pm – they closed at 2:00pm.
This morning, I left the house after Jose headed off to school, arriving at 7:53am. I sat in the parking lot and at 7:58am seven cars zoomed in – and I mean ZOOMED. The parking spaces around me filled up and immediately, people were out of their cars. I brought the average age in the parking lot down to 80 years. I am certain a few actually remembered starting the car with the crank! These people were in the building before I even got out of my car, and one lady was on a walker.
Inside, everything moved fast and by 8:04am I was having my photo taken. I asked the lady if the DMV had a special where you could have Christmas card photos made from your license photo… no.
I sat down to wait with four others who just had their photos taken. The lady on the walker was complaining because they were taking so long! The two men on either side of her agreed. I sat there smiling to myself. The gentleman next to me began chatting and I learned he grew up in Alexandria, Indiana which is about seven miles from where I grew up.
In less than a minute they called my name. The three complainers were aggrevated that I already had mine. As the lady handed me mine I heard her say, "Oh, no! A malfunction."
The walker lady bellowed, "Why did he get his before we got ours?"
The lady tried to explain, and then apologized for the malfunction. I started past the lady and she asked, "Why did you get yours first?"
I smiled and said, "There's not as many wrinkles to touch on my photo."
All four were slapping their legs and howling.
I pulled out of the DMV and headed to the National City Bank. I had lived in this particular Centerville neighborhood for eight years and could not believe how much it had grown with all the new businesses. It was mostly open fields from 1995-2002. I waited in line, looking for the ATM. I decided I would just do the window.
I pulled up to the window, noticing there were no machines to suck the money into the bank. The window opened and the lady, dressed in a cute shirt and sun viser asked, "How may I help you?"
I said I wanted to make a deposit… her face contorted, and then she began howling.
"This is Starbucks, now."
I drove off without getting an order…
At 9:00am my neighbor lady, Kay, took me to breakfast to celebrate my birthday at First Watch. We had a delightful time and then walked over to Tuesday Morning.
Tonight, I will head up to Wayne High School to join Loretta Henderson and her daughter, Mara, for the Wayne vs. Fairmont game. Her oldest daughter, Kayla, is the team manager, but I am sure I will see her. Uncle Darin always seems to be a hit with these two darlings. Loretta and I were at KMS together, and she is now a principal in Tipp City.
Saturday is a tailgate picnic for the band, and then a contest at the OSU stadium in Columbus. I have never been to this sacred site, and am excited to do so.
There Is Only Now
It can be easy for us to walk through the world and our lives without really being present. While dwelling on the past and living for the future are common pastimes, it is physically impossible to live anywhere but the present moment. We cannot step out our front door and take a left turn to May of last year, any more than we can take a right turn to December 2010. Nevertheless, we can easily miss the future we are waiting for as it becomes the now we are too busy to pay attention to. We then spend the rest of our time playing "catch up" to the moment that we just let pass by. During moments like these, it is important to remember that there is only Now.
In order to feel more at home in the present moment, it is important to try to stay aware, open, and receptive. Being in the present moment requires our full attention so that we are fully awake to experience it. When we are fully present, our minds do not wander. We are focused on what is going on right now, rather than thinking about what just happened or worrying about what is going to happen next. Being present lets us experience each moment in our lives in a way that cannot be fully lived through memory or fantasy.
When we begin to corral our attention into the present moment, it can be almost overwhelming to be here. There is a state of stillness that has to happen that can take some getting used to, and the mind chatter that so often gets us into our heads and out of the present moment doesn't have as much to do. We may feel a lack of control because we aren't busy planning our next move, assessing our current situation, or anticipating the future. Instead, being present requires that we be flexible, creative, attentive, and spontaneous. Each present moment is completely new, and nothing like it has happened or will ever happen again. As you move through your day, remember to stay present in each moment. In doing so, you will live your life without having to wait for the future or yearn for the past. Life happens to us when we happen to life in the Now.

I Really liked this song, it has A KIngdom Hearts (Suare Enix and Disney Credit) feel to it(it might be from the piano, they use it a LOT) It's on my faves.

THIS."
Please contact me if you would like to use this in a project. We can discuss the details.

The rail ministry last month launched a mobile application for ensuring safety and security of women passengers in Mumbai suburban trains. That, however, was just the beginning. Union minister for railways, Suresh Prabhu has chalked out at least seven key ideas that will be implemented soon to beef up the poor passenger security record of the railways.
The ministry is planning to create a data bank of criminals and ensuring intelligence gathering in advance. The idea is to track criminals expeditiously and arrest them for trial. Prabhu has already sought help from the forensic departments of multiple state governments for creation of the first-of-its-kind databank for use by Railway Protection Force (RPF) and General Railway Police (GRP).
Prabhu's office is also busy chalking out a plan to roll out "Mahila Vahini", a specially-trained force to check crimes against women in railway premises and trains. "A proposal for the creation of the Special Force has been sent to both the Finance Ministry and the Home Ministry , " Prabhu recently said. The issue needs urgent attention of agencies given the recent rise in instances of attacks on modesty of women.
Also, Indian Railways is already working on installing Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) cameras in passenger coaches and platforms after addressing privacy issues to keep a constant eye on criminal activity. Such electronic surveillance to detect criminal activity has already been deployed successfully in the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) network in the national capital.
Suresh Prabhu recently told a gathering of Director Generals of Police (DGPs) of two dozen states he also intends to use ex-army personnel to manage security on Indian Railways network and infrastructure. He has plans to put in place a mechanism for regular sensitivity training for railway security forces to sensitize them of the passengers safety related issues.
The rail ministry is also mulling working out a mechanism for immediate evacuation and shifting of injured persons from railway premises to hospitals so as to save precious human lives . The recent spate of accidents on trains, including fire in coaches and derailments, highlight the need for such speedy action in the aftermath of an incident.
Lastly, the Railway Minister is exploring the possibility of imposing on-the-sport fine on the lines of traffic violation fine, in case of any security violation . The ministry is trying to empower the Train Ticket Examiners (TTEs) to move quickly to get an First Information Report (FIR) booked in case of violations and also address the issue of jurisdictional complexities of forces – RPF, GRP and district police.

Sorry to be bossy, but you simply must read Capital in the Twenty-First Century. It's a big ask. Thomas Piketty, the French economist, who is now a global intellectual superstar, has produced a work of some 700 pages, crammed with statistics and not a little theory. Moreover, his radical thesis has been widely publicised in innumerable admiring reviews.
That thesis - in case you have been living in a cave for the past month - is as follows. It is the natural state of affairs in the free market system for returns on capital to be higher than the rate of growth of the economy (and thus the rate of growth of incomes).
As a consequence, the owners of capital and particularly the owners of substantial capital pull further and further ahead. The consequence is not merely rising inequality but - in time - a growing role for inherited wealth in determining the distribution of rewards and privilege. As Piketty says in the book's most quoted line, 'the past devours the future'.
Many questions flow from this argument and the compelling case Piketty builds behind it. First, why has this tendency so far escaped our attention? One reason lies in the Panglossian determination of most of the economic academy to argue, against the facts, that capitalism is in essence a self-correcting system that may distribute rewards unequally but does so fairly on the basis of market value.
There is also a specific historical reason. In the 19th century, having capital was seen as a better route to economic security and social status than earning an income.
Thus, by the early 20th century, the total value of capital in the UK and France was six to seven times national income.
But that changed dramatically between the First World War and the 1960s. Factors including the cost of military mobilisation, the threat of revolution, inflation and population growth led to what Keynes called 'the euthanasia of capital'. After the war, the ratio of national capital to income fell by about half and, along with it, the contribution of capital ownership and inherited wealth to inequality.
In policy analysis, it's vital to be able to distinguish a trend from a cycle. It was not a skill possessed by those who interpreted the post-war trend towards equality as irreversible. But reversible it certainly was, and, thanks to the policies promoted by a resurgent neo-liberal movement, we are back to the position of capital domination of a century ago.
As wealth begets wealth (the more capital you possess, the better your rates of return) and a variety of factors leads to slower growth in the developed world, inequality and the importance of inherited privilege are set to become more entrenched. As Piketty notes, today's fabulously rewarded corporate super-managers will refresh the rentier class by bequeathing great wealth to their descendants.
For those who think economic outcomes should relate to merit (surely a constituency that stretches beyond the left, if only because the legitimacy of capitalism is in question), there is a second big question: 'What can be done?'
It is possible events could reverse the cycle. What is being called the 'second machine age' of intelligent robotics, along with migration and higher birth rates, could raise the long-term growth rate, something that both reduces the advantage of capital and makes inequality more tolerable to the less well-off. But, many think new technologies will actually further polarise winners and losers.
Whatever the future brings, new ideas and new policy will surely be needed. Piketty's main proposal - a global wealth tax - has been widely decried as unrealistic. This is a book about the flaws of our economic system but it also highlights the frailty of democracy. The mid-20th-century governments that reduced the power of capital not only felt they had no choice but also had greater confidence and public legitimacy than today's enfeebled and despised political class.
Ultimately, the egalitarianism of democracy is bound to confront the polarising effects of unfettered capital accumulation. On what terrain that battle will be fought and the scale of casualties that result are issues that will decisively shape the coming era. The more people who read Piketty, the more likely it is that policy makers will see the need to act before social upheaval and unrest force their hand.
And if you're still not convinced, Capital in the Twenty-First Century is also entertaining, well written, and crammed full of the kind of information and analysis that makes you want to throw down the book and find someone to share it with.

To help your child deal with a scary event she's seen in the news, lend her your ears.
Children react to upsetting stories and images in many ways.
"At first, children may need up to 20 minutes to process their reaction to something stressful," says Dehra Harris, MD, a Washington University pediatric psychiatrist at St. Louis Children's Hospital. "They may try to avoid the subject if they're feeling overwhelmed."
During this time, help your child feel better with lots of hugs and comfort, and tell her that she's safe.
Upset feelings can last for several weeks, and that's OK. But you might need a doctor's help if you notice she is:
- avoiding friends
- becoming more attached to you or another caregiver
- eating more or less than normal
- not sleeping well
Question and Answer
If you notice your child is upset by something he's seen in the news, wait until he's ready to talk about the event before you bring it up. And before you talk—listen.
"Parents often want to say the right thing," Dr. Harris says. "Listen first. Then ask questions to understand what your children feel. This way, you can tell them what they really want to know."
Dr. Harris suggests sitting down with your child in a quiet place with your phone off. Tell her you know an event has upset her. Ask her what she thinks and how she feels about it. Answer her questions as best you can. If you can't answer something right away, tell her you'll think about it and get back to her. Importantly, ask her what you need to do to let her know she's safe.
"You want to set yourself up as a source of information," Dr. Harris says. "With support from you, your child can grow from the experience."
A pediatrician or pediatric psychiatrist can help your child deal with trauma. For help finding a doctor, call St. Louis Children's Hospital at 314.454.KIDS (5437) or toll-free at 800.678.KIDS.

It's great nowadays that people have access to short form shows on YouTube for free. The everyman like you or me could easily come up with something, write it, shoot it, and throw it up on YouTube without any powers denying us permission to release it into the world.
One particular show of which I've become quite a fan in recent years is the extremely popular gaming trivia show entitled, "Did You Know Gaming?" In small 5-7 minute videos focusing either on a particular game or game series, the producers lay out tons of interesting facts and trivia in the most comprehensive manner. For geeks and gamers, it's a pretty great show.
Yesterday, they released a video on Batman: Arkham Asylum and it was awesome. I thought I knew a lot about the game, but of course, DYKG taught me a lot. For instance, I was intrigued to find out that Arkham's groundbreaking freeflow combat system was originally supposed to be based on rhythm and music. It sounds like a cool idea, but I can't say I'm unhappy with the result.

Tonight I sat in my hot tub again. It seems to a place where I connect with Jesus and people as of late. Bekah and I sat and talked about life, freedom and what it's like to know the deepest parts of us free of resentment, lies, shame and oppression.
As we talked, I would feel a little nudge to look in a particular part of the sky. Each time, I turned my head and stared at the sky. The stars shown so brightly and the wind, a soft presence reminding me of Holy Spirit and his constant presence, like air we breathe, blew across my face. As I'd face in the direction prompted, I'd look to the sky and within a short period of time I'd see a falling star.
I have a thing for falling stars. They are like a shinny gift from Jesus. A reminder that he loves me and that all of creation sings His glory. Five times I was prompted. Five times I turned. Five times I waited and watched. Five times I was met with a falling star.
The last star was seen just before the clock turned to 12:00, greeting my birthday.
The conversation. The cool breeze. The company. The times praying. The tears. The reminder that God is bigger than those things that kill, steal and destroy and the falling stars were a perfect way to enter into this day.
I am so thankful to have a God who loves me so deeply that He gives me gifts.
This year, not only did Jesus give me shooting stars, He gave me my heart.
If you've been reading my blog for the past month you know that I've been struggling. I've felt lost. I've felt as though I had no idea what I wanted out of life and I was broken. In the past week, I was given my heart back.
Ezekial 36:26 says I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh.
He will give me a new heart, removing from me a heart of stone and give me a heart of flesh. This is the gift I was given this year and I am so thankful.
Today, I celebrate my Jesus. He is good and he has invited me into the goodness of the land of the living and I am new.
