Disputes with financial institutions in other EU countries
FIN-NET (the cross-border out-of-court complaints network for financial services) is a mechanism that allows unresolved disputes between you and a financial services provider that is based in another European country to be settled out of court. FIN-NET is a network made up of the existing national complaint schemes for financial services in Europe. FIN-NET aims to:
- Provide you with easy and informed access to out-of-court redress in cross-border disputes
- Ensure the efficient exchange of information between European schemes so that your cross-border complaints can be handled as quickly, efficiently and professionally as possible
- Ensure that out-of-court dispute settlement schemes from different European Economic Area countries apply with a common set of minimum guarantees for consumers.
FIN-NET is only an alternative to judicial redress and decisions or recommendations of out-of-court bodies are not enforceable in the same way as court decisions. However, in the majority of cases, financial institutions do follow the recommendations of the complaint body even if they are not binding.
How FIN-NET can help you
How your complaint is handled by FIN-NET
When you receive all the necessary information about the relevant complaints scheme and you have decided to file a complaint with it, you can leave your complaint with the FIN-NET member in your home country. If the FIN-NET member in your home country does not deal with the complaint itself, it will transfer it to the relevant scheme in your financial service provider's country. In some cases, it may be more efficient to contact the relevant complaints scheme directly and in these cases, the FIN-NET member in your home country will ask you to do so.
FIN-NET schemes aim to allow you to make your complaint at least in the language of your financial contract or the language in which you have usually dealt with your financial service provider.
Member schemes of FIN-NET handle cross-border complaints with the same efficiency and the same level of care as they handle domestic complaints. If the complaints scheme needs any further information or documentation from you, it will contact you directly. If the scheme needs more general information, that is, information about the legislative framework for consumer protection in your country, it will co-operate directly with the FIN-NET member in your home country.
Member schemes of FIN-NET are linked through a Memorandum of Understanding which lays down the procedural framework for cross-border co-operation and basic principles for out-of-court dispute settlement. The Memorandum of Understanding includes a declaration of intent from participating complaints bodies to apply the quality standards set out in European Commission Recommendation 98/257/EC on principles applicable to bodies responsible for out-of-court settlement of consumer disputes.
This Recommendation consists of 7 principles, which include:
- Independence of the dispute settlement body to ensure the impartiality of its actions
- Transparency of the scheme to ensure that you have all the necessary information about the procedure and that the results obtained can be objectively assessed
- An adversarial procedure to ensure that you can present all your views and are informed about the arguments of the other party to the dispute
- Effectiveness of the procedure to ensure that you will benefit from the advantages of an alternative dispute settlement, that is, you have access without being obliged to use a legal representative, a procedure that is free of charge or of moderate cost, a procedure that is swift and a dispute settlement body that assumes an active role, thereby enabling it to take into consideration any factors conducive to a settlement of the dispute
- Legality to guarantee that the decision taken by the dispute settlement body does not deprive you of the protection afforded to you by the relevant consumer protection legislation
- Freedom to ensure that the decision taken may be binding on you only if you are informed of its binding nature in advance and specifically accept this after the dispute in question has arisen
- Representation to ensure that you can be represented in the procedure by a third party if you wish.
Only schemes that the European Commission has been notified about by their member states can participate in FIN-NET.
How to apply
The FIN-NET website can provide you with information about participating out-of-court dispute settlement bodies in each EU/EEA country. Specifically, the guide can provide you with information on:
- The structure and coverage of the settlement schemes in each country
- The nature of each settlement body's decisions
- The time and award limits
- Charges (if there are any)
- The average time taken to handle the dispute
- Languages you can use in the procedure
If you have a complaint against a financial services provider located in another country, you can use the FIN-NET form for cross-border financial services complaints.
You can also find information how to use FIN-NET in its consumer guide to settling cross-border financial disputes out of court (pdf).

Many people say that, but if you want to pass exams in English, be sure to say "She did so badly...".So do I. You need comparative at there.
or you can say that " She did so bad in the tests that she didn't expect a result like this
but after better in the final exam.
Past perfect uses verb form to place one action before another. In this sentence that is not necessary. You don't need to put "expect" in past perfect because there are plenty of time cues already.I would add: ...than she had expected.... First she had some expectations as to her performance on the tests and then she did the tests.
I am not native speaker though, just guessing...

01 Jul WordPress Website Care Plans
is your website performing at its absolute best?
Your website is fundamental to the success of your business. Think about it. It generates revenue, attracts new customers, potential business partners, and suppliers. This is why it's so important to ensure that your website is always functioning at its very best, and is available 24/7 without interruption.
is your site (and business) vulnerable?
Without proper updates and maintenance, content gets old, software can become obsolete, domain names expire, and you may find that your website malfunctions, is hacked, or simply disappears! Where does this leave your business?
Keeping your website backed up, up to date, secure, and functioning at its very best is a time consuming, tedious task which is best done by a technician specialising in that field. Technology in the world of websites and search engines is constantly evolving, and it is important to keep abreast of the latest developments.
but can't i perform my own updates?
It may be tempting to try to do all of this on your own, but is that your area of speciality? Do you have the time and skillset it takes to do this effectively, or should your focus stay on what you do best – your business. Just as you choose to take your car to a mechanic for regular maintenance, it makes sense to have your website maintained by a specialist. And, just like with cars, regular maintenance is a lot more cost effective than crisis management. This is our playing field, and we are proud to say that we are exceptional at what we do!
specialist care and attention
We know websites – the code they are built upon, and all of the variables which work together to enable it to function. We know WordPress software – we've been using it for over 10 years now, build sites with it every day, and choose to have our own site built with it.
So, we're in the best position to keep your website up and functioning, with current content and software, fully secured from risk of hacking, fully backed up, and presenting your business to the world at its very best 24/7!
how do we do this? with one of our website care plans.
We have a range of levels of Care Plans on offer. No matter which one you decide to choose, working with us means that you will have specialists working on your website to continue to drive attention and customers to your business. We will perform a specific number of small tasks on your website each month to ensure that every aspect of your website is perfect.

'I've known Jeff for fifteen years. Terrific guy. He's a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side.' - Donald Trump, 2002" The quote is from a 2002 New York Magazine profile of Epstein. (emphasis added)www.haaretz.com/us-news/trump-praised-terrific-guy-epstein-who-likes-women-on-the-younger-side-1.7453257
Fixed it for you.
Sorry you so consistently cling to your whine about the Dems, but I think on this one issue, we can all agree - all religions, all political parties, everyone - that anyone who knew about what Epstein was doing and either condoned it or ignored it deserves to get publically shamed, at a minimum. Those who actually participated in it should get to see the inside of prison.
I'm sick to death of wealth = a get out of jail card, while at the same time, a low income guy caught with a joint gets railroaded into hard time.
We need to clear all the nonviolent drug offenders out of the jails and start arresting the real criminals, regardless of their income.

About PQDT Open Search
This descriptive phenomenological study investigated Anglo Saxon Americans' lived experience of self-identity. The focus was to determine if construction of their self-concepts was influenced by Ancestral connectedness, characterized by: (a) lived recognition of one's Ancestral origins and the experience of connection to one's larger constellation of familial lineage, (b) reverent encounter with one's Ancestors on a daily basis as expressed in Ancestor communion, and (c) felt responsibility to ensure the Ancestors' continued well-being and positive disposition toward the living through the practice of remembering the Ancestors in active storytelling, prayers to the Ancestors, and the making of libations and offerings to the Ancestors. Three Anglo Saxon Americans participated in the study. Each participant completed two half-hour, one-on-one, in-person interviews and also completed a demographic questionnaire about his or her background. Participants were asked to describe (a) their identities and how they understand themselves, (b) their understanding or definition of Ancestor, (c) how they think about their Ancestors, and (d) how their connectedness to their Ancestors influence their self-identities. Giorgi's (1985, 2009) four-step descriptive phenomenological method was used to analyze the data and produce a psychological description of the phenomenon studied. Study results revealed a general structure for the Anglo Saxon American self-concept in relation to Ancestral connectedness consisting of eight constituents: (a) a lack of importance placed on the question of self-identity, (b) an emphasis on individuality and separation, (c) a negative approach to self-identity, (d) changes in self-identity independent of Ancestry, (e) awareness of the White race and its privileges, (f) socioeconomic status, (g) an unconscious Ancestral influence, and (h) no establishment of a positive Ancestral influence on self-identity. The results also revealed a limited amount of conscious understanding of one's Ancestral origins and personal connection to a larger constellation of familial lineage, suggesting partial fulfillment of the first criterion of Ancestral connectedness. However, this was the extent of the lived experience of Ancestral connectedness in relation to the Anglo Saxon American self-identity formation.

text: John Neporadny Jr. 38 Report post Posted October 31, 2019 Lake of the Ozarks bass in November are on the move from the shallow foraging areas to their deep wintertime haunts. During their migration bass seek out some fast food spots where they can chow down on baitfish. These fast food spots are usually some type of cover found throughout the lake. Bass use the cover as rest stops and ambush points to nab a quick meal before heading out to their winter homes. Savvy bass anglers at the lake look for these hotspots to pinpoint migrating bass during late fall/early winter. Rocks are one of the best hotspots for finding bass in November at the Lake of the Ozarks. Baitfish and bass are both attracted to the warmth of the rocks that absorb and retain the sun's heat even on cold November days. Former Bass Fishing League (BFL) All American champion Marcus Sykora looks for wind-blown rocky banks in November because he knows bass will be feeding heavily on baitfish there. "I actually like to fish hard transitions where the bank goes from big rock to little rocks or some sort of continuous blend of some ledge rock, gravel and some good size rock in it," he said. Waking a 1/2-ounce spinnerbait with tandem willowleaf blades is Sykora's most productive tactic for catching bass on the rocks. "Waking a spinnerbait mimics a lot of the things bass are feeding on in the rocks and it causes not only a hunger strike but also a reaction strike," Sykora said. "I also like to (wake spinnerbaits) a lot because it is a great way to cover water." The tournament competitor positions his boat over 12 to 20 feet of water and points the boat's nose at a 30- to 45-degree angle to the bank. By presenting his lure at that angle, Sykora can keep the spinnerbait in the strike zone longer. He retrieves the spinnerbait fast enough so its blades bulge the water but don't break the surface. Sykora suggests always paying attention to where the sun rises and sun sets when fishing the lake in November. Even though the water is cooling down and the sun is providing warmth throughout the day, bass on the shady banks bite better than fish on the sunny shores. "Sometimes on those bright bluebird sky days it is really tough to catch bass," Sykora said. "So that eastern bank in the morning is going to get a little more shade there throughout the day than on that western bank. So a lot of times in the morning I will run those east/southeast banks because they have shade." On sunny afternoons, Sykora switches to the west/southwest banks because those banks have more shade then.

The Austrian Alps are known for their absolutely fabulous compelling ski resorts that attract thousands of winter sports fans from all around the world. But the reasons people are heading to the Alps include but are not limited to skiing – there are plenty of winter outdoor activities that anyone can enjoy. Alpine ski resorts provide almost unlimited opportunities to have fun off the slopes, so those, who are not yet in love with skiing and snowboarding can also join the groove and enjoy the Alps to the full. So, what are the other activities on offer apart from skiing and snowboarding?
Once an activity for kids, tobogganing has become one of the funniest and exciting winter activities that provides an overwhelming experience to the whole family. Tobogganing is extremely popular in the Austrian Alps for skiers and non-skiers alike. You can enjoy tobogganing in Ischgl, Alpbachtal Seenland, Soelden, Kitzbuehel, Innsbruck and its surroundings, as well as other Austrian ski areas. What can be more exciting than spending fun time with your loved ones when riding down a toboggan run followed by stopping at one of the cosy mountain huts for some gluhwein or traditional Tyrolean delicacies! Alpbachtal Seenland offers several toboggan runs of different length and difficulty – from 0.5 km (suitable mostly for children) to 4-6 km for sporty tobogganing fans. Depending on the resort you can ride a toboggan during the day or at night. If you want to have a blast and feel like a kid again then tobogganing is a must-try!
Ice-climbing is another mind-blowing activity for those who want to get an adrenaline rush. Isn't it more than exciting to climb artificial ice walls, frozen waterfalls or icefalls? The Austrian Alps are just perfect for ice-climbing and many ski resorts offer it as a great option for an apres-ski activity. Lech am Arlberg is a great starting point for you to get acquainted with ice-climbing. There are numerous climbing routes of different difficulty, stunning scenery and fantastic Alpine atmosphere. Another place to get icy-cold fun is the Gastein Valley. Adventure and adrenaline are guaranteed when discovering a fascinating world of ice-falls. Other best places for ice-climbing in the Austrian Alps include Lech am Arlberg, Pitztal Glacier, Renk waterfall, as well as Grünsee waterfalls in Salzburg. You can arrange a private tour with an Alpine guide matching your skills and energy level. The peaks of Tyrol are welcoming everyone who enjoys great mountain landscapes, altitude, excitement and active-living experience!
Paragliding is one of the most exciting adventure sports you can enjoy when staying at one of the Austrian ski resorts. Incredible sceneries, free-flying and feeling of absolute freedom… Wouldn't you like to see the Austrian Alps as the birds do or get sky-high thrills when looking at the stunning Alpine peaks? There are many ski regions offering paragliding. Soll and the neighbouring Wilder Kaiser is home for tandem paragliding flights. Depending on weather conditions and thermals you can enjoy the flight from 5 to 30 minutes. St Anton provides paragliding attraction to all who wants to discover gigantic massifs and enjoy the beauty of the wonderful region of Arlberg – mountain ranges, glaciers, valleys, rivers and lakes. Paragliding in Kitzbuehel is a fantastic chance to see the area from a different perspective. People say that once you have tried it, you will want to come back!
Besides paragliding, tobogganing and ice-climbing, other winter outdoor apres-ski activities available include ice-skating, curling, hiking, snowshoeing and many more you should try when enjoying your ski holidays in the Austrian Alps. You will experience plenty of exciting moments with your friends or family while riding a toboggan, skating or taking a walk in snowshoes.
All of the above resorts can be easily reached by Alps2Alps.com airport transfers. Providing door-to-door private transfers, Alps2Alps covers all popular Alpine destinations and ski resorts from and to main airports, such as Geneva, Basel, Zurich (Switzerland), Chambery, Lyon, Grenoble (France), Munich, Friedrichshafen, Memmingen (Germany), and Salzburg, Innsbruck (Austria). If you are travelling by train, affordable transfers from and to all regional train stations, such as Annecy, Lyon, Geneva, Moutier, Aime and Bourg St Maurice are also provided.

Ten Years Later, Chemical Safety and Justice for DuPont's Teflon Victims Remain Elusive
Poisoned Legacy: PFC Contamination: No Place to Hide
PFCs in people
PFCs were first detected in human blood in 1976. Dr. Donald Taves of the University of Rochester's School of Medicine and Dentistry found that some of the fluoride in his own blood was organic and not related to the fluoride added to public drinking water supplies. Taves and his collaborators tentatively identified one of the chemicals as PFOA. (More than 20 years later, 3M said this was likely a misidentification of PFOS.) (Taves 1976, 3M 1999)
Over the next two decades, more than a dozen studies were published on blood levels of PFCs in the general population. In 2001 – four years after its futile worldwide search for blood samples not contaminated by PFOA and a year after it agreed to phase out PFOA and PFOS – 3M submitted a study to the EPA that found PFOA in the blood of 96 percent of 598 children tested in 23 states and the District of Columbia. In 2003-2004, the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, conducted by the Centers for Disease Control, found PFOA, PFOS and 10 other long-chain PFCs in 98 percent of a representative sample of the U.S. population. (NHANES 2015)
In 2005, EWG and Commonweal, a public health non-profit, obtained through the Red Cross samples of umbilical cord blood of 10 American newborns. Testing by two independent laboratories found that all ten had PFOA, PFOS or seven other long-chain PFCs in their blood – the first publicly reported tests to confirm that these chemicals could be passed from mothers to babies in the womb. (EWG 2005) In 2009, EWG and Rachel's Network, another non-profit, commissioned tests on the cord blood of 10 newborns from African-American, Hispanic and Asian-American mothers and again found PFCs, including some of the next-generation replacements, in every one. (EWG 2009)
After decades of pollution from DuPont's Washington Works plant in the mid-Ohio Valley, levels of C8/PFOA in people there were extraordinarily high. In 2003-2004, the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey had found that the average level of PFOA in Americans was 4 parts per billion. (NHANES 2007) The C8 Science Panel found that the average in blood samples from the mid-Ohio Valley was 83 parts per billion. (Steenland 2009) The median level – the point at which half the samples were above and half below – was 28 parts per billion.
Blood levels in some groups sampled near the plant were even higher. The median level of C8 in people living closest to the plant, whose drinking water that came from the Little Hocking, Ohio, water district, was more than 224 parts per billion. The median level in workers currently employed at the plant was more than 147 parts per billion, and in former workers it was almost 74 parts per billion. C8 levels were higher in children, in people who ate local vegetables and in those who drank well water rather than public water. (Steenland 2009)
How do PFCs get into us?
People get contaminated with PFCs in just about every way imaginable – from drinking water, food and food packaging, indoor air, household and workplace air, carpet and furniture treatments, clothing, cosmetics, non-stick cookware and many other products. There is much uncertainty about how much exposure comes from each source. Early studies pointed to food and water as major sources and suggested that consumer goods were not significant. (Trudel 2008, Washburn 2005) A later study of blood serum levels found that indoor air in the workplace could be an important exposure pathway. (Fraser 2011)
Recently, EPA has suggested that the widespread presence of PFCs in human blood indicates that products treated to be stain-proof or waterproof could be a source. (EPA 2015B) In occupants of homes that are regularly treated with stain-resistant sprays, PFC levels can be much higher than in the general public. In children, who come into closer and more frequent contact with carpets and dust, levels are almost always higher than in adults. (Beesoon 2010, Mondal 2012, Toms 2009)
In 2009, EPA measured the chemical content of 116 products commonly treated with PFCs and estimated the typical amounts in a U.S. home. (Guo 2009) The results showed that more than 95 percent of PFCs in the home came from carpets and carpet treatments.
Upholstery, floor treatments and textiles also bring PFCs into the home. Non-stick pans contribute relatively small amounts. (Figure 1) In some people the indoor environment accounted for half of typical PFOA and PFOS exposure, but for the general population, food accounted for 67-to-84 percent of PFOA exposure and 88-to-99 percent of PFOS exposure. (Haug 2011)
Figure 1. Sources of PFC exposure in a typical U.S. home.
Source: Environmental Working Group, from EPA. http://www.oecd.org/env/48125746.pdf
How long do PFCs remain in the body?
The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) has been testing for PFCs in the general population since the late 1990s and measuring the chemicals' half-lives. (The half-life is how long it would take for half of the chemical to be eliminated from the body, assuming no additional exposure.) The half-life of PFOA has been calculated to be 5.4 years, although some studies suggest it may be shorter. (Olsen 2007)
PFOA levels in the U.S. population decreased by more than 40 percent between 2000 and 2010 and likely have continued to drop as the 2015 phase-out date drew nearer. (NHANES 2014) (Figure 2) Sampling by the Norwegian Institute of Public Health shows a very similar trend in Norwegians. (Haug 2009) This study also measured the rapid increase of PFC levels in blood serum that occurred between the mid 1970's and 2000. (Haug 2009)
Levels of PFOS are higher, but over the last decade the average level in Americans' blood has dropped from more than 30 parts per billion to fewer than 10 ppb, indicating that the 2002 phase-out is lowering the overall body burden. (Figure 3) (NHANES 2014)

WorkSafe BC video shows effects of asbestos exposure23 Apr 2009 by Wendi Lewis under News, Organizations, Video
A video produced by WorkSafe BC (the Workers' Compensation Board of British Columbia), which is dedicated to promoting workplace health and safety for the workers and employees of the province, provides a fascinating glimpse of how asbestos fibers affect the body. British Columbia is the westernmost Canadian province, and WorkSafe BC serves areas including Vancouver Island, Lower Mainland, BC Interior and BC North.
The short video mainly illustrates asbestosis, a severe scarring of the lungs caused by the inhalation of microscopic asbestos fibers. However, these fibers also can cause mesothelioma, a deadly cancer that most often affects the lining of the lungs, but which also can affect the stomach and/or the heart.
According to WorkSafe BC, since the year 2000, more workers in BC have died from asbestos disease than any other workplace injury.

Out Of The Darkness: How can you pray when your heart is broken?
SOURCE: Taken from an article in Discipleship Journal/Robert Boardman
Sometimes it feels like you're drowning in it.
No matter how much we try to fight it, suffering is a part of life. It may be in the form of a broken body or a broken heart but, sooner or later, it will come.
Pain can make us or break us; When it hits full force we have two choices: to blame and reject the God who could have prevented it, or to trust that it is part of His perfect plan for our lives. Pain is the crucible in which real faith is formed.
In Psalm 77, Asaph shows us how personal anguish can lead to growth. His pilgrimage shows us four crucial steps that lead from despair to joy.
Asaph had an exceptional ability to be honest about spiritual struggles. His honesty shows in each of the eleven psalms he wrote (73–83), whether he is confessing his own failures (Ps. 73:2–3) or admitting his confusion over God's strange ways (Ps. 74:1). He knows us. He understands our innermost struggles, our abject hearts. He puts words to our wretched feelings. Yet he perseveres by faith to praise, and from his perseverance we can take hope.
It's natural, when we suffer difficulty, to think first of ourselves, to pray first about our personal needs. And Asaph was no exception. In Psalm 77 he wrote,
1 I cried out to God for help; I cried out to God to hear me. 2 When I was in distress, I sought the Lord; at night I stretched out untiring hands and my soul refused to be comforted. 3 I remembered you, O God, and I groaned; I mused, and my spirit grew faint. 4 You kept my eyes from closing; I was too troubled to speak.
Notice Asaph's focus in these first four verses: I cried out, I was in distress, I sought the Lord, I stretched out untiring hands, my soul refused to be comforted, I remembered you, I groaned, I mused, my spirit grew faint, I was troubled. Some people condemn this kind of preoccupation with one's own feelings as selfish, yet it can be the first step toward healing—if it leads us to seek help beyond ourselves. After all, God is thinking about us, too. He loves us. He desires our greatest good.
While God cares about our suffering, He is more concerned with molding our lives so that we will bring Him more honor, glory, and praise. But our private pain, at least at first, prevents our understanding that.
It is never easy to turn to God for help. By nature we are proud. We would rather maintain our independence, even as failures, than acknowledge our dependence on God. We will cast all our cares on God only when we are honest enough to admit that we are overwhelmed by them (1 Pet. 5:7). If we try to cover up the pain, or pretend it is not there, we are really relying on our own efforts to deal with it. So looking first within ourselves and becoming aware of the pain that is there is the first step toward growth.
In 1945, I had returned from war in the Pacific with a serious injury and a new hope: life in Christ. In the U.S. Naval Hospital in Farragut, Idaho, my spiritual life was beginning to grow as my body slowly mended. Then I met Jean. Her beauty, her personality, and her godly character captured my heart, and I was in love.
Then one day in 1947 a thick letter came. Even before I opened it, I knew instinctively that it was a "Dear John." The heart I had given her, Jean had returned smashed, crushed seemingly beyond repair.
I cried out to God in anguish. And as I poured out my pain, confusion, and fear before His throne, over time, He began to collect the broken pieces and painstakingly accomplish His skilled repair work. (Interestingly, when God did finally give me a wife, her name was Jean, too.)
God is our refuge. He waits eagerly to take us in, to listen to our heart's cry, to care, to comfort, to mend. But first we must admit that we are hurting. The feelings we attempt to hold within will someday burst like the walls of a dam, sending raging waters upon the unsuspecting in the peaceful valleys below and causing inestimable damage.
Now Asaph shifts focus. No longer does he look only at himself and his troubles. He looks at God. And what he sees, he doesn't like.
Shaken by what, from all appearances, is a failure of God's love and faithfulness, he assails God with questions:
7 "Will the Lord reject forever? Will he never show his favor again? 8 Has his unfailing love vanished forever? Has his promise failed for all time? 9 Has God forgotten to be merciful? Has he in anger withheld his compassion?"
Asaph is in such turmoil that he questions the very character of God. Yet God does not destroy him. He recognizes the desperate cry of a wounded heart, a confused heart, and sees it as a necessary step toward faith. God is never angry or upset over a person's honest questions.
In 1970 in Seoul, Korea, God saw best to take to himself the small daughter of our friends Paul and Sukja Yoo. During a severe water shortage in one of Seoul's steamy, humid summers, the Yoos kept their tile bathtub filled with water in order to have a minimal supply. In an unattended moment, little Hiju, intrigued by the prospect of playing in the water, tumbled in and drowned.
Paul and Sukja asked God, "Why?" God understood and welcomed the question. In His own time and way, He answered their anxious hearts.
The cry of our Lord Jesus Christ on the cross echoed Ps. 22:1: "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far from saving me, so far from the words of my groaning?" He questioned the Father, but trusted Him for the answers.
The glorious resurrection was an answer to His impassioned plea. And in time there came multitudes from every tribe, kindred, tongue, and nation whose sins were washed away in His sacrifice on Calvary.
For every believer, there are times of darkness when we do not have answers to our questions. But during those times we can and should ask God honest questions about ourselves, our circumstances, our ministry, our loved ones, family, enemies, our future . . . end then believe Him for amazing and wonderful assurances. "Who among you fears the LORD and obeys the word of his servant? Let him who walks in the dark, who has no light, trust in the name of the LORD and rely on his God" (Is. 50:10). He teaches us to wait after asking our questions in order that we might learn to trust Him wholly, even without answers.
Until this point, Asaph has been involved in a great struggle. He has wrestled with the deep problems of his own soul and the hard circumstances around him.
God's seeming inactivity in response to the psalmist's prayer brings bewilderment, but it does not prevent him from making a very important decision. He says,
10 Then I thought, "To this I will appeal: the years of the right hand of the Most High." 11 I will remember the deeds of the LORD; yes, I will remember your miracles of long ago. 12 I will meditate on all your works and consider all your mighty deeds.
Beginning from verse 10, Asaph begins to come out of the darkness. Now the tempo of his outlook begins to change. Notice the "I will's" in these three verses. Asaph is choosing to reflect on God despite his suffering, overwhelming circumstances, and the bewilderment of God's silence. He is no longer carried along by the circumstances of his trial and his questions.
Asaph's willingness to do this reveals a meek and lowly disposition. He stops fighting against God and opens his heart to His answers. His struggles in prayer begin to cease.
God honors this kind of humility; He responds to one who will think upon His mighty acts. "This is the one I esteem: he who is humble and contrite in spirit, and trembles at my word" (Is. 66:2).
And as Asaph begins to focus on the power and faithfulness of God throughout history—and perhaps even earlier in his own life—he gains the perspective he needs. He begins to see his own struggles in the context of a longer, larger work of God through history. He begins to anchor himself in the immovable foundation that will counterbalance present appearances.
Surely God brought salvation then, if He showed compassion then, if He fulfilled His promise then—surely He can do so now, for me, in the midst of my torment. Such might have been Asaph's thoughts as he clung to the reassuring facts of God's dealings in history. He may not have had an explanation of his own sufferings yet; he may not have seen their outcome yet. But this he knew: God had delivered His people before; He could deliver him now.
So it is with us. Reflecting on the past faithfulness of God brings spiritual equilibrium to our lives. When we remember what God has done for us in the past, we know that once again, even in the midst of a great test, He could lift us up, bring solutions, and reveal Himself to us. Looking back gives us perspective on the needs of the present and the possibilities of the future.
Now, in answer to his own doubts and complaints, Asaph sets forth in praise the specific things God has done that give him hope:
13 Your ways, O God, are holy. What god is so great as our God? 14 You are the God who performs miracles; you display your power among the peoples. 15 With your mighty arm you redeemed your people, the descendants of Jacob and Joseph. 16 The waters saw you, O God, the waters saw you and writhed; the very depths were convulsed. 17 The clouds poured down water, the skies resounded with thunder; your arrows flashed back and forth. 18 Your thunder was heard in the whirlwind, your lightning lit up the world; the earth trembled and quaked. 19 Your path led through the sea, your way through the mighty waters, though your footprints were not seen. 20 You led your people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
Remember how self-centered the first section of this psalm was? Sixteen times in six verses Asaph had spoken of himself—"I," "me," "my." Contrast that with his words in this last section. Not once in eight verses does he refer to himself. His focus is entirely on God: on God's holiness, power, redemption, faithfulness, and tender mercy. Meditating on these things delivers Asaph from the bondage of depression and self-pity and ushers him into the liberty of exultant praise.
Warren and Ruth Myers say this about praise:
One of the most dramatic stories of the power of praise is found in 2 Chronicles 20. When King Jehoshaphat of Judah learned that Moabite and Ammonite troops were advancing on Jerusalem, he stood before the people and acknowledged his powerlessness before God. God promised that He would deliver them.
So sure was Jehoshaphat of God's faithfulness that he appointed a group of men to march in front of his army "to sing to the LORD and to praise him for the splendor of his holiness." And "as they began to sing and praise," God caused the enemy armies to turn upon each other. Every soldier of Moab and Ammon was dead before Jehoshaphat's troops reached the battlefield.
Praise is the ultimate weapon against the forces that would defeat us, as well. If we would only praise God by faith, as Asaph did, it could lead us to amazing victories, both in our personal lives and in our ministries.
Taking our eyes off ourselves and choosing to praise God is the final step toward growth in the midst of suffering. Praise proves we are "sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see" (Heb. 11:1). Our spirits rise, God regains His place at the center of our lives, and we become "transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing glory" (2 Cor. 3:18).
C. M. Hanson wrote, "Praise is like a plow set to go deep into the soil of believers' hearts. It lets the glory of God into the details of daily living." Let us say with the psalmist, "I will praise God's lame in song and glorify Him with thanksgiving. This will please the Lord more than an ox, more than a bull with its horns and hoofs" (Ps. 69:30–31).
What worked for Asaph can work for us, too. In the midst of our greatest difficulties, we can be transformed from despair to adoration if we will be honest about our own feelings, ask the questions that haunt us, remember how God has worked in the past, and praise His holiness, faithfulness, and love.
We must not bury our feelings. Hiding them merely lets them fester end spread. Instead, we must expose them to the healing air of communion with God.
Neither must we hide our doubt inspired questions, however impertinent they might seem. They'll be no surprise to God. We might as well get them out in the open where they can be objectified and answered.
But when we've asked our questions, we must be honest enough to listen for answers, too. And we will find those answers in the miraculous works of God recorded in Scripture, in history, and in our own past.
Finally, as we are reminded of God's faithfulness and steadfast love, let us praise Him. And as we focus our hearts on God's power to work on our behalf instead of on our own suffering, we will be freed from the bondage of despair.
In our deepest distress, when we cannot see the path down which God leads us, we can be sure that, as our Good Shepherd, He leads us by the hand. The reasons for our trials may not yet be revealed—may never be this side of eternity. But we know who goes before us, and by what He has done we can be sure of what He will yet do.

XIII. The Jordan
If any one should ask, What is the Jordan? answer, It is the river of the Torah.
They celebrated the Passover after they crossed the Jordan, and on the second day of the feast of the Passover manna disappeared, and they ate from the products of the land and made therefrom unleavened bread. Then they began their seven years' war against the enemy, and on the seventh month of the seventh year they conquered their enemies entirely, and were rested, and erected the tabernacle on Mount Gerizim, which is the chosen place of the dwelling of the Most High God. They built the stone altar in accordance with the command of God, and offered due sacrifice, and fasted during the great day of sin covering, and celebrated the Feast of Tabernacles. On that day the high priest Eleazar Ben Aaron began to read the law to the people from the copy handed to them by Moses, the apostle of God, written by his noble hand, as we see in Deut. 15:1, "At the end of seven years," in the first year of rest, when the children of Israel shall celebrate the feast and appear before the Lord thy God in the place which he chose, shalt thou read before them this Torah in the hearing of the children of Israel. He

began its reading on the feast day, and on the seventh day it was finished. It is said that he used to read to them some book each day.
He would stand on a high place, and would raise his voice so the whole people could hear his words and understand the meaning, and the import of the Torah, — what was to them pure and what was impure, the verses that were intended for men and those that were intended for women, all that God commanded that they should do and perform. Compare Num. 31:12: "Gather ye the people, men and women, and the children and the neighbors and the strangers," that they may hear and be instructed. Some learned men say that, on account of the large number of people and the large space occupied by their tents, the high priest could not make himself understood to the farthest as well as the nearest to him, and therefore he used to adopt two plans: either to gather them in separate numbers and read to each; or to read to the chiefs of the people, the men of understanding, and have them instruct the rest. And God knows best.
It is said that whenever seven years would pass, when the year of rest would take place, the high priest used to enter t...

In a way, this is a stupid question. All of face issues and there is no denying that we try to resolve them by 'deep' thinking. But the question is, does it really help us solve the issue.
(for clarity: what I mean by issues here are situations where we need to take a decision but not sure what. Typical examples are a relationship problem, making a job change, handling a conflict. I don't really mean those issues that we solve say as part of our job)
I had lot of issues that I faced in life, and many were unexpected and threw me out of balance. Many times, they gripped my mind, in a way I was not able to shake them off. I played them in my mind repeatedly with slight variations. And I thought I was trying to think deep on the issue. This goes on for sometime and I am all the more confused and down. At some point, I feel I cannot handle this and I discuss the issue with my close friends or my spouse. Believe me, people are just waiting for you to ask their opinions. Most of the time friends and spouses give you advices that you want, not what you need.
And when I look back, most of those issues were resolved either by natures best remedy – time, or just by the way the sequence of events turned out to be.
Either way, what about the time, energy and effort spend on brooding over them?
Later in life, I realized that there has to be a better way to handle these issues. After lot of trial and error, I have found a working two step process for resolving such issues.
STEP 1 – Understanding the issue
I found, typically when you approach an issue, you just don't see the issue alone, it comes as a whole package. The first challenge is to segregate them. I try to think of these four elements:
- Relevance of the issue – is it something that needs to be resolved in the first place? Is it just a question of ego or solving it will impact my life in anyway? How significant is it in the whole scheme of things?
- My assumptions – What are my assumptions? This is the toughest part, especially when it comes to relationship problems. I would have assumed that someone doesn't like me or he has a vested interest in doing this..
- My emotional involvement – This is also very very important. The emotional aspect makes it difficult to solve issues, especially related to relations. More emotional we are about the issue, less logical we are.
- The past and the future – How much am I influenced by what has happened in the past and my plan for the future. This is also important because typically we don't see issues in isolation. We view them as continuation of something that happened in the past. This also means that we might be prejudiced. On the other side, the issue might be arising out of a fixed concept that we have about something in the future.
I put these things on paper separately and try to be as honest and logical as possible. Most of the time this step itself will help you segregate the real problem from all the mess around it and you have the clarity to solve it easily. But sometimes, this is difficult, especially when I am emotionally involved in the issue. The I go to step 2.
STEP 2: Taking alternative views
I find someone whom I respect and who I am sure has a bigger view of life and experience. I ask for a short appointment. Then I present him the problem in an 'as a matter of fact' tone and seek his views. This really works because the person is not emotionally involved in the issue and can really give me a very logical picture of the whole thing. This helps me overcome the emotional barrier that stopped me from seeing the issue. (Sometime it may be needed to repeat step 1 after this once again)
Believe me, you can solve things much more easily and effectively.
What I didn't realize though at that time was that there is a feedback process working. When you do this a couple of times, your thinking patterns get modified and this becomes your natural way you think. Going forward, I would also expect the issues to come down significanly, because they were created by those same thinking patterns.
It's a slow process, but works….

Influential, aspirational and motivating are words that best describe non-fiction work. There are no fictional characters, no imaginary plots, no unreal world, no illusory consequences and no fictitious story – everything in fact is very much real, right from characters to plot, story to consequence. Most of the times non-fiction works are interpretations of real events through the eyes of the writer. As such, it is a greater task on part of non-fiction writers when it comes to writing – they have to be accurate with the information they provide. High precision and great intellect are strong characteristic features of non-fiction writers. Having said that, does non-fiction work seem like serious works of literature? In fact, just like any other genre of writing, non-fiction covers a wide range of topics, biographies to travel, history to self-help, parenting to gardening and so on. Britain has had the privilege of being the address of some of the most versatile and supremely talented non-fiction writers since centuries. These literary figures have left an ineffaceable mark on world literature with their works. James Burke, Anthony Burgess, Henry Bond, Stephen Hawking or Cedric Charles Dickens, steward of Dicken's literary legacy, the country has predominantly produced some of the greatest non-fiction authors who enjoyed unprecedented global popularity for their works. Know in details about their life and works with this section.

Temporary Floor Protection - A Product Guide
December 2017
Your floors need special protection when undergoing remodeling, during new construction, moving heavy furniture or equipment, and for other events beyond day-to-day use. Protecting flooring is practical and saves money. A spill of paint, the drop of your hammer, a scratch from heavy furniture cost thousands of dollars in replacement and repair costs. This post describes surface protection products for floors so that you can make informed choices on the best product to use for your preferences. Varieties of Protection Packaging:
Floor protection merchandise is commonly packaged as either:
(1) Products by the roll: Included in this are common adhesive films, rolled paper products and rolled textile protection. Protective materials purchased through the roll can be measured thick by mils (e.g., 2.5 mils thick as much as 48 mils thick).
(2) Products through the sheet: Such as corrugated plastic, masonite, and also other rigid protection. Protective materials purchased from the sheet are generally measured in depth by the inch (e.g., 1/4-inch thick) and normally come as 4 feet by 8 feet.
Paper protection would work for many hard surfaces and resilient surfaces but can not work well to shield carpets as it could tear when flexing under footsteps. Paper merchandise is breathable to ensure that glue fumes and cement curing vapors can escape. One disadvantage in paper products since they require tapes to secure these phones flooring and tapes can frequently leave adhesive residue when removed. Common paper protection products include:
Polyethylene (PE) films can be purchased as self adhesive rolled films varying from 2.0 as much as 3.5 mils in depth. They trap any moisture from escaping so they mustn't be suited for any floors which might be curing. A couple of the great benefits of polyethylene films are that films will flex and contour so they can be used on carpets and also hard surfaces. These films don't offer any impact protection and therefore are normally rated abbreviated term using 30 to 90 days only. Polyethylene films focus on one-time use and never use recycled materials which makes them an inadequate choice in sustainable protection. Protection films can be found in a number of adhesion "tack". Hard surface protection films will have a lower tack and color than carpet protection which needs a more aggressive glue to carry onto carpet fibers successfully.
Plywood and Masonite are generally used as protection on commercial projects with plenty of visitors. Masonite is often a wood product produced from wood fibers unlike plywood that's a genuine sheet of thin wood. Both plywood and Masonite are offered from the standard sized 4 feet by 8 feet and are higher priced per square feet than paper or polyethylene products. Masonite is frequently 1/8 or 1/4 inch thick. Plywood is often 1/4 inch to 3/4 inch thick. Both products provide impact protection with a various floor types and provide adequate protection against heavy equipment use or furniture moving. Both plywood and Masonite are breathable and reusable however they are bulky to handle and store. These wood sheets should be applied to the surface of a softer protection such as a rolled textile while they easily scratch flooring. These sheets are very effective to shield carpet because they prevent wrinkles when rolling heavy loads in the carpet. Plywood and Masonite tend not to offer moisture protection and can be harder to reduce to size than other protection types.
Textile products are commonly made of recycled cloth. Moreover, these rolled protection products usually have advantages for example skid resistant backings or breathable plastic liners. For wood floors, these specialty textile rolls are recommended because they are breathable, skid resistant, reusable, often leakproof and straightforward to cut to size.

Alex Davis graduated in 2013 with a degree in Drawing & Applied Arts where she focused on digital photography and print. Since leaving university she has expanded in both 2D and 3D using techniques such as laser cutting and printmaking processes.
Alex's inspiration comes from her surroundings. She takes photographs to capture images that could disappear. She takes photographs of graffiti knowing that in time the image will change or transform. In essence, trying to capture a moment, which is not dissimilar to her major influencers and established photographers Robert Frank and Robert Capa.
As Bristol is Alex's hometown and her inspiration, in these recent works she wants to combine the history and the modern and the challenge of "what is more beautiful?" She hopes to inspire people with her work so they can really see what is around them and to question "is there beauty in the ugly?" and "what is art?"
By using the printmaking technique, photo-etching, it gives the photograph another quality, sometimes softer and almost magical and at times a harsh statement.

!! History Commons Alert, Exciting News
Shortly after the announcment of Osama bin Laden's death on May 2, 2011 (see May 2, 2011), some commentators are surprised to find that bin Laden's compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, is only 800 yards away from Kakul, an elite military academy that is Pakistan's equivalent of the West Point academy in the US. [New York Times, 5/6/2011] This fact made targeting the compound with a drone strike very problematic. One unnamed CIA official says, "All [a drone-fired missile] has to be is about 1,000 yards off and it hits the Pakistan Military Academy." Additionally, Abbottabad is home to two regimental compounds, and many military families live there. [Washington Post, 5/6/2011] Too Long Not to Know - Hassan Abbas, a former Pakistani official who now teaches at Columbia University, says that there was a tight net of security around Abbottabad because of concerns about terrorist attacks on the many sensitive military installations there. The town was thoroughly covered with security guards and soldiers. Abbas says, "If he was there since 2005, that is too long a time for local police and intelligence not to know." "Willful Blindness" at Best - Former CIA officer Arthur Keller, who worked on the search for bin Laden, says the locale of bin Laden's compound raises questions. He says that bin Laden must have known that the area has a high concentration of military institutions, officers, and retired officers, including some from the ISI's S Wing. The ISI is Pakistan's intelligence agency, and the S Wing is the part of the ISI many experts believe has worked with and protected some Islamist militant leaders (see March 26, 2009). Keller says that bin Laden also had to be aware that the town has a higher level of security, checkpoints, and so on, than many other Pakistani towns. While living near a military academy helped ensure bin Laden's compound would not get hit by a US drone, there were safer towns to hide from drones. According to the New York Times, Keller does not understand why bin Laden would live in Abbottabad "unless he had some assurance of protection or patronage from military or intelligence officers." Keller says, "At best, it was willful blindness on the part of the ISI." [New York Times, 5/6/2011]

Emerging Scholars Program
The Harvard College Emerging Scholars Program is an academic enrichment program that seeks to support STEM-interested students who are enrolled in introductory calculus. The program itself provides auxiliary support in a variety of ways, outside of a participating student's enrollment in Math M.
Participation in a year-long Emerging Scholars seminar: A weekly seminar with math department faculty will focus on higher-level problem solving & cognition and offers students the opportunity to apply mathematical concepts to fields of interest. Complex multi-step problems and in-class projects are chosen to highlight problem-solving techniques such as generalization, induction, analogy, variation, reverse engineering, and specialization. Students collaborate to build mathematical models, critique arguments, analyze data, and present policy recommendations.
Personalized academic advising and support: Students participating in the program will have access to an experienced and knowledgeable team of academic advisors, which include long-time members of the Board of Freshman Advisors and alumni of the College, with faculty connections across the university.
Unique opportunities to engage with faculty: in an engaging and insightful faculty lunch series.
Extracurricular social events: such as field trips, movie nights, coffee hours, and other excursions on and off campus.
Math 1b summer study abroad in Italy: In the summer of 2018, the Scholars cohort will have the opportunity to take a semester abroad in Italy, completing Math 1b (and one other course) there before their sophomore year. Students find living and studying abroad an exciting and transforming experience.
The opportunity to pursue service volunteering: in the Cambridge-Allston community is available through a variety of relationships with area-based non-profits.
Questions may be directed to Hakim Walker at firstname.lastname@example.com.

It's been about a month since I've "officially" embraced my new job as stay-at-home-mom, and just like any new job, I am adapting, changing habits, making adjustments, doing the best I can to get an A+ status with the boss -- which in this case, is also Me.
I've also had some well-meaning loved ones question my decision to be "just a mom" ... throwing all career plans, talents, potential and what-have-yous up in the air to change diapers, do the laundry, and tend to a crying infant.

Not worth the price
This only works best if you're in a dark environment. Don't use it in a lit room thinking it will brighten your picture because you won't see any difference. Not worth the price in my opinion.
If I had to do purchase again, I would go for the least expensive one

Await the perfect planting moment.
Every garden has it's own microclimate, and the better you understand yours, the better your garden be. When your microclimate, and the needs of your crops meet is your sweet spot of abundance. This is the moment to hold out for. When conditions for each crop are perfect – boom! We've got our grow on people.
If you're up north you'll be planting kumara and tomatoes outside already – lucky you! My soil has only just landed on 15 degrees. A week or so here and I'm good to go for sowing beans. +3 more degrees and tomatoes, zucchini, cucumber, kumara and pumpkin will be in their happy place. Patience is rewarded.
It's easy for me, this waiting when my greenhouse is full of all our summer goodness – tomatoes, peppers, aubergines, dwarf beans, cucumbers, melons, basil, zucchini – all the heat lovers growing great guns.
Without my greenhouse, I'd never achieve all our food growing needs. If you're into growing your own vege and live somewhere cool, you need a greenhouse too!
What I'm sowing and planting this November
The seedling operation really amps this month, then tails off to a steady hum come December. Here's my take on raising really good seedlings.
Growing your own has many advantages. You can grow 2 or 3 or whatever you need each time, and you get to choose from a wide selection of varieties. This takes time and space though, so if it isn't for you, check out Awapuni nurseries online shop. I love their good selection and newspaper-wrapped plants – no plastic pots hurrah!
Direct sow and plant
- Little and often patches of quick greenery like rocket, spinach, coriander, lettuce and mesclun. Check out my easy peasy salad growing ways.
- Direct sow root crops of beetroot, radish and the last lot of carrots.
- Direct sow cornflowers, cosmos and calendula. Think of your flowers like your crops – a steady succession to keep your garden buzzing.
- Once the soil is steadily sitting at 15 degrees direct sow your first lot of green beans and my favourite of all – shell-out beans.
- Kumara slips are about to go in (any day now!) I'm waiting for the soil in my kumara bed to hit 18 degrees – it's getting a gee-up under plastic as we speak.
- Yams can be planted out if not already done.
- Perpetual beet and parsley are heading off to seed. Let them go! They'll feed the beneficial insects on the way to providing a new generation of plants for you late summer. Meantime plant new seedlings out and you've got a self-care cycle of plants to eat and new plants coming on for a year-round supply. These humble guys are the backbone of the gardener's kitchen. Full of minerals and goodness and always there in the background for dinner whenever there's a lull or gap in cropping.
- Direct sow phacelia and buckwheat in any gaps for living mulches beneath and beside plants that need bees for pollination.
- Harden off seedlings before planting out. Give them a few days outside and then a few days and nights before planting to adapt them well for a smooth transition.
A few important jobs
- Weeding begins! Don't let them get a grow on my friends or you will create a big horrible mission later. Make life easy and get them while they are small. Buy a hoe (I love my hula hoe) and whip around once a week or dollop a thick layer of mulch on top of weeds.
- Check your garlic. Dig one up to see if its forming bulbs. Fresh garlic – hurrah!
- Be sure to thin out earlier sowings of beetroot, parsnip and carrot to 10cm as they hit four leaf, for good size crops.
- Set up awesome, robust frames for growing on.
- Protect all potatoes you plant from now on in with wondermesh, or other cover of choice, to keep the psyllids out.
- Have Neem on standby to easily manage sucking insects. They will come. And if it's warm at yours maybe there already. Like weeds, you must get on top of them at the first sign. Don't let them get a strong foothold – it'll wreck your crops and your peace of mind. Here's why my favourite is Neem.
Brassica free = cabbage butterfly free!
You will notice there are no brassicas on my November planting list. That's cos cabbage white butterflies start-up soon and I'm not that keen on managing them. Besides which we've just had 8 solid months of eating broccoli and cabbage – it's time for summery things!
If you are growing spring cabbage or broccoli get ready with some insect mesh, the same fine mesh that keeps psyllids out will keep the butterflies from laying eggs on your precious cabbages, thereby preventing the caterpillars in the first place. Although the moths look haphazard, they are brassica seeking missiles, so cover your crops in an obsessive no holes way. Any little gap and they'll be in there laying up a storm.
Derris dust alert! Let's stop with the Derris Dust. I know its easy. I know Grandma used it. But it's super toxic! Rotenone, the active ingredient in Derris dust is a neurotoxin (why would ya go there) and fatal to many of our important beneficial insects – parasitic wasps, ladybirds and dragonflies to name a few. Canada has outlawed the use of it on gardens and looks like USA is going the same way.
In the greenhouse
A greenhouse is a high-stress environment, all that plastic and heat makes it so. It needs a bit more TLC to get through the summer. Start it off strong with big healthy seedlings and hummus rich soil.
- A weekly spray with high-quality seaweed feed keeps cells strong, boosts nutrient uptake and both of these things together prevent sucking bugs. The very best seaweed feed in NZ is Oceans Organics. Buy it in bulk through Agrisea if, like me, you got a bigger sized garden. Add Neem or EM or other herbal brew like stinging nettle if need be.
- Leave a bit of wild in your greenhouse to provide an ongoing mixed mulch – the very best soil conditioner! Sow greencrops/ companions in every gap (apart from the north side), and let them flower away to entice the bees. I use nasturtium, borage, mustard, lupin, African marigold and shoofly. Chop them back when they encroach on the crops and pile on the soil.
- Tomatoes, dwarf beans, zucchini, melon, eggplants, chillies, basil and cucumbers are growing like rockets in the warmth. Keeping an eye on soil moisture hits the job list.
- De-lateraling the greenhouse tomatoes is in. I do this to create single leaders that'll grow up strings. The airflow is important for disease prevention, and it makes spraying and picking a dream.
- Tray sow another lot of summer companion flowers like zinnias, sunflowers, marigolds and cleome.
- Tray sow outside basil, zucchini, cucumber, corn, beans and tomato
Give your seedlings the best start
A strong start makes all the difference. So much depends here on what the soil and climate are like at your place. Whether the wind whistles through, whether you get 10 – 2 sun or not, whether your soil is warm, but lacking in nourishment (sand) or is heavy and wet, lacking warmth and air (clay). Mitigate whatever unfavourable factors exist at yours.
- Planting a puny two-leaf seedling in the garden is like kicking your 4-year-old out of home – too vulnerable! Leave seedlings in their pots until they have 4 – 6 leaves and their roots fill the container out. Now plant them out. Grown-up and ready to handle it.
- Make the transition from the cosseted world of the pot to being planted in the garden a gradual one. Leave them outside in their pots for a few days and nights to get acclimatised.
- Build a shelter around summer crops if the weather is still up and down at your place at planting time. Use an old window, some clear plastic stapled to stakes, or a clear bucket with its bottom cut out.

Haryana cop shot dead by young criminal
An officer of the Haryana Police was shot dead and a constable injured in firing by a youth near Haryana's Rohtak town, 70 km from Delhi, police said on Saturday.india Updated: Jul 06, 2013 11:11 IST
An officer of the Haryana Police was shot dead and a constable injured in firing by a youth near Haryana's Rohtak town, 70 km from Delhi, police said on Saturday.
The victim, sub-inspector Balwan Sharma, who was posted as in-charge at Kharawar police post was shot at by an unidentified youth near Kheri Saadh village on the National Highway No. 10 late Friday night, police said.
Constable Harvinder Singh also sustained gun-shot wounds in the attack, and was admitted to the Post-Graduate Institute of Medical Sciences (PGIMS) here. Doctors said he was out of danger.
The police officials were returning in their jeep after investigating a case when the attack occurred.
Police said that the jeep was stopped by three workers of the industrial township on the outskirts of Rohtak. They told the police officer that a youth with a weapon had snatched their money and mobile phones, and could be nabbed from that area, where he was roaming.
The police officer managed to get hold of the young man and made him sit in the jeep. The young man opened fire at close range from a pistol, killing the sub-inspector.
He fired at the constable too, and made good his escape.
The workers who had made the complaint also fled from the spot.
A man passing by on a motorcycle saw both the police officials lying on the road in a pool of blood, and informed local police. The victims were rushed to hospital, where doctors declared the sub-inspector dead.
No arrests have so far been made in the case. A case of murder has been registered against an unidentified young man.
This is the fourth attack on police personnel in Rohtak, the home district of Haryana Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda, in the last six months.
A retired inspector and a sub-inspector were murdered, and four other policemen sustained injuries in different incidents.

Why You Should Beware Debt Consolidation Scams
Debt consolidation scams may appear to be your savior at first glance, but they often make everything much worse. They are expensive and highly predatory. If you are struggling with debt, whether it's credit cards, medical expenses, or anything else, debt consolidation is rarely a better option than Chapter 7 bankruptcy. The Dangers of Debt Consolidation Scams There are a variety of ways that these debt consolidation scams will drain what little cash you have and do significant damage to your credit score. Here are some of the ways that debt consolidation can hurt you: High Monthly Payments – Debt consolidation companies commonly require higher monthly payments than any of your creditors would. While a creditor may agree to a debt settlement of half or even less of the principle owed, debt consolidation companies are not typically as generous. Monthly Service Fees – Most debt consolidation scams require a monthly…

I don't have a lot to report, I promise I'll post more when the weather warms up and I actually have things to write about.
But I've been keeping busy - I started saving larger steel cans and I painted them with Rustoleum, poked a few holes in the bottom and put on a layer of poly - voila! plant pots!
I also whipped up an apron last night from scrap fabric from my Halloween costume and left over ribbon from my wedding a couple years ago. Not perfect, but not bad for not having a pattern. At least I won't have any more spaghetti sauce splatters on my shirts. (Try saying that 5 times fast. lol)
I finally got around to taking a few 'before' pictures of my balcony.
You can just see the lemon verbena I kept inside this winter, and the dormant sage sitting outside. The white dish pans are for lettuce.
The curtains (a necessary indulgence to keep out the summer heat - and they're so pretty) didn't allow me to get a good wide shot. So, I had to venture outside - not bad, it got up to 50 degrees today!
I figured out that the last frost date is May 12 (about 2 weeks later than where I grew up. Boo.) So I'll be starting the Stevia and Scallions inside around April 1. At the same time I'll plant the peas, borage and cilantro outside. Everything else either gets direct seeded after danger of frost, or I'm buying plants to save myself the trouble.
And I'm still agonizing over how to do the railing planters!

Migraine Statistics
Did you know 5% of all people have had a migraine by the age of 15? With age, that percentage increases, leading to an estimate by the National Headache Foundation that 28 million people in the U.S. experience migraines.
No one is quite sure what causes migraines, but it seems they are often triggered by external factors. Knowing these factors can help individuals take steps to reduce the onset of these debilitating headaches, so they can live more pain free lives.
Migraines Headache Triggers
Food Allergies – Often it is not the food itself that triggers them, rather it is a chemical or preservative in the food or beverage that causes them. Some common culprits include: aged cheese, alcohol, pepperoni, hot dogs, lunch meat, and MSG. Up to 30% of migraine sufferers may experience these debilitating headaches because of a food or beverage related additive or preservative.
Emotional Stress – Our bodies are equipped with self-defense systems, which often go into defense mode when external factors try to invade our bodies. When a person experiences stress, certain chemicals are released into the brain. The release of these chemicals can cause vascular changes, which can lead to migraines.
Caffeine – This can occur in people because they either consume too much caffeine, but it often occurs in people who do not get enough caffeine. The blood vessels of a person who is addicted to caffeine develop a sensitivity to a certain amount of caffeine. They become dependent on receiving the proper amount of caffeine.
Migraines and Upper Cervical Care
If you suffer from migraine headaches, you can take steps to alleviate them. Though, the proper care from an upper cervical chiropractor can determine the cause of your headaches and make sure you receive the proper care. Changing your diet or avoiding situations that may trigger these headaches may mean changing your lifestyle, but a NUCCA specialist can make adjustments to your upper cervical spine so your brain and body communicate better.
