First is to get the sand out of the plastic rocker panels. Did my brakes last week and found them pretty sandy when i pulled the covers. Anyone have any other suggestions?

I used to think I was a somewhat seasoned traveler. Maybe not curry or cayenne, but a nice blend of sea salt, garlic, and some green herbs.
When I decided to go to England for fecal microbiota transplant, I realized just how far removed I'd become from the jetset.
I'd only flown once in the age of smartphones, and the last time I flew across the Atlantic, I had to use minutes on a prepaid calling card to talk to my mom from a landline when I got there. #itsbeenawhile
Planning that trip was a beast. So many details. To top it all off, my brain felt like mush because of the supplements I was taking pre-transplant. (I know a lot of us in the autoimmune community often feel that way. #spoonie)
So, I now you my tips and travel hacks to make your next trip a little less stressful.
(I plan to write a post specifically about planning a medical travel trip to Taymount Clinic in the future, since there seems to be very little info online.)
Here we go… drumroll, please…
1. Global Entry or TSA PreCheck
I knew that paying extra to breeze through security (at least on the way there) would be worth it.
It was.
Of course, as soon as I mentioned that I was doing TSA Precheck, some trying-to-be-helpful jerkface (cough *my brother* cough) told me I should have done Global Entry instead because I was traveling internationally and it expedites the customs/border process.
[Insert panic attack here.]
Luckily (or maybe not so much), when I researched Global Entry, it appeared to take several months and a faraway trip to do the interview.
Not worth it to save an hour or so on one trip.
Precheck, it is.
When I went to schedule an interview for Precheck, I was surprised to see that there was a nearby office that hadn't been on the list before. I had planned to wrap it into my trip to Kalamazoo for colon hydrotherapy (another story entirely).
I went to this makeshift-looking office on the other side of town and was done within ten minutes.
My three-year-old son said he had fun. LOL
Then, we went to Costco and out to lunch. Good day.
Easy Peasy.
You know what else was easy peasy? Walking right through the metal detector, grabbing my bags, and being on my way. I was kind of looking around like, "that's it?"
But no one seemed to be chasing me down for additional inspection of the random food items in my bag, so I kept on walking.
The only negative was the rude dude who totally cut in front of me while I put my passport back in my bag. If I'd been in England already, I'd have given him a dirtier look and a lesson on queuing.
Money well spent, I tell you.
2. Mobile Passport app
Who needs Global Entry when you can just use this app to answer the border/customs questions?
Download it, put in your passport info, answer five questions right before you get off the plane, and voilà.
I almost want to keep it a secret so the lines stay short.
O'Hare airport needs to get its sh-tuff together when it comes to organization and signage, but once I was in the right place, getting through the border was seriously no big deal.
3. Noise-canceling headphones
In all my prepping and perusing, I read an article on bulletproof.com about travel hacks. I was all like, "Ooh, great idea, Dave Asprey! Use noise canceling headphones to filter out the airplane noise so my brain doesn't have to!"
And then I realized why gajillionaire tech people have them and not me. The "good ones*" are $350! Umm… not feasible for two flights.
Granted, I could probably use them in future #momlife to filter out the whining of munchkins, but I'm not usually a headphones kind of gal.
I read reviews of some cheaper ones on Amazon, and they were just bad.
Until somehow, I ran across some that had OK reviews*. Most said the same thing that I'll paraphrase here: "These kinda sorta work on an airplane. They're not Bose*, but they're aiiiight."
$55? Sold.
At the very least, don't forget some earplugs, especially if you have sensory issues or trouble sleeping through noise. (You'd think I'd be able to sleep through noise. I try every Saturday morning to sleep through the Paw Patrol and sonic booms of my kids jumping off the couch, but alas, I'm not that talented.) I have ear plugs in my purse at all times, just in case. I've used these on a flight* and these smaller ones* in a noisy hotel room.
Update: I do use the headphones at home. They're great for podcast listening while cooking! Too much Bluetooth exposure makes my brain feel a bit scrambled (maybe I need a tinfoil hat…), but it doesn't bother me as much as it used to.
4. External battery phone charger
I can't even tell you how much this charger* saved my life while traveling. My iPhone is a couple years old, and battery life isn't the greatest. I used my phone for all kinds of things from boarding pass to navigation to entertainment. It could NOT die on me.
I figured out that this charger could charge it up fully at least once and partially again after that. Total lifesaver when you need to figure out which late night train will get you "home". Or you're bored on an old school plane without screens. Or you first arrive at your AirBnB in England in the middle of the night and realize the power converter you brought doesn't work.
5. Sea Bands
I'm not going to rave about Sea Bands* and say that they, in themselves, prevented any and all motion sickness while traveling, but I think they did something. For the price, they're worth a shot.
I think that acupuncture and acupressure are extremely valuable healing modalities. Sea bands work by activating an acupressure point in the wrist that can help prevent motion sickness. Make sure to put them on BEFORE you're at risk for feeling sick!
Plus, there's a pretty cool skater boi vibe when you're wearing wristbands. See pic above.
6. Snacks
Wait, you can bring food on an airplane?
Yes, yes you can.
I've had so many questions about what I brought and how I got it through security that it may merit its own post someday. Suffice it to say that solid food is no problem as far as security goes. You may have trouble with customs/border force, but I did not. (Whew.)
Some of my favorite meals/snacks were:
- Simple Mills seed crackers–original* in general, or garlic & herb* is really good with lunchmeat!
- Plainville organic turkey from Costco (I ate it soon enough that I didn't need an ice pack to keep it cold, but if I did, I would fill a Stasher bag* with ice from the airport.)
- Go Raw bars* (these aren't my all-time favorite but good in a pinch)
- Dried apples (Bare apple chips* are my favorite!)
- Snap peas with hummus
- I fit one of the single-serving Costco hummus containers in my TSA quart bag*. It apparently counts as a liquid. I then put more in my checked bag with an ice pack.
Hot tip- I like to bring my own glass water bottle* with tea bags to fill with hot water once I'm past security. Add a collagen packet* and BAM, delicious and nutritious herbal tea.
7. Foldable duffel bag
I knew that I would be coming home from England with more crap than I left with. Literally. I brought implants home with me.
I bought this bag from Amazon to bring home the extras. It's lightweight, easy to zip, and comes in purple, so I had to get it.
8. Backpack
Seems obvious, but a backpack is a super handy "personal item" when traveling. I needed both of my hands for the rest of my intense luggage. I can't even imagine how much a backpack would be necessary when traveling with children.
I knew I wanted a backpack for the actual travel portion of my trip, but I couldn't find my old one (from my Freshman year of high school… #theydontmakethemliketheyusedto)
I only had three days before I left, so I turned to my trusty friend, Amazon Prime. This backpack came highly reviewed and was right in my price range. I love the gray fabric and the fun striped lining! I just wish it had more pockets. I feel like putting my stuff in there was like throwing a rock into an abyss, never to be seen again. That said, it does fit a surprising amount of stuff, and the front pocket isn't easily accessible (a good thing if you're among pickpocketers or not paying attention).
Someone in the long "drop off your bags" line at O'Hare commented on it and asked how I liked it so far, and mentioned that she had been thinking of getting the same one. I admitted that I'd been using it for approximately twenty minutes so far, so I had no idea.
Now that it's been on two trips, I can say it's durable and handy!
9. Amber glasses
Last but not least, I brought along a couple biohacking-esque things to help me adjust to the time difference. Though, who am I kidding, I didn't sleep much while I was in England. (Thank you, sunrise at 4 AM).
I bought new amber glasses* so I could try and convince my body that it was night when I arrived at the airport in London. It was nighttime, but the bright fluorescent airport lights would have told my retinas otherwise. Blue wavelengths of light inhibit the body's production of melatonin, the sleep-inducing substance the body creates when it's bedtime. Cool, eh?
Amber glasses can block the blue so that you feel sleepy at the right time. I use even cheaper safety glasses* when I'm home, but I thought these other ones would be slightly less embarrassing to wear in public at the airport.
I also brought along some supplemental melatonin, just in case. I don't recommend using it on a regular basis, but I was afraid of being up all night because of the five hour time change. (This is not medical advice, talk to your medical professional if this is something you'd like to try. It's definitely not right for everybody, and it's my opinion that the body may reduce its own capacity to make melatonin if it's been supplemented a lot.)
Are you a seasoned traveler? What travel hacks do you have for the unseasoned?
Happy globetrotting!

A Critical Music charity fundraising album project for Oxfam's refugee crisis appeal, featuring tracks donated by Current Value, Enei, Foreign Concept, Halogenix, Hyroglifics, Klax, Sam Binga & Signal. Over the last two Christmas' the team at Critical huddled together and decided that rather than let some sought after unreleased music sit idle on their hard drives they would put it to use and offer people the chance to download the tracks in return for donating something to charity.
This year is no different and we at Critical have all gone through the vaults and put an album together, again for an important cause. We have chosen Oxfam's Refugee Crisis Appeal which is something close to all of our hearts. Millions of people have been forced to flee their homes, to run for their lives and risk the safety of their families. Oxfam urgently need to help more people in Syria, Jordan, Lebanon and closer to home in Europe, too. You can read more about the appeal here – http://bit.ly/1NC8wOe
100% of the proceeds go directly to the charity.
Please give generously and enjoy the music!
Merry Christmas from all at Critical Music

I quite like this ring, although there were two grievances I had with it: I ordered a size 7, but it's obvious I was sent a size 6. I had a 7 in mind so I could wear it on middle or index fingers. But this ring is same size as my other size 6 rings and will only fit the ring finger on either hand. But that's okay. I will wear it on those fingers. | Also, I didn't realize it would be so small.The cut-out cross is very small and doesn't show up that well. Still it's a pretty little ring and I didn't want the hassle of sending it back. I have happily worn it, and will continue to enjoy wearing it. I just should have ordered a slightly thicker band so that the cut-out cross would have been larger.
This ring bent just taking the tag off. Very thin. Not worth the price

dainty and light weight. Perfect for me and exactly what I was looking for.

Handsome ring. High polished silver and sturdy.

I love the way it looks , however, it's rather thin and therefore somewhat flimsy. It loses it shape easily and I must be careful so it doesn't eventually break. Maybe make it a bit thicker?
I love this jewerly. It looks just as expected. Both rings are beautiful! Shipped next day and I got it in no time. Thanks! I will definately shop with Christian Jewerly again.

3ST recently had a chance to speak with Jake Lloyd, DC SCORES Communications Manager, to learn more about the tips and tools he uses to keep this diverse audience of children, parents, stakeholders, schools, coaches engaged with his organization.
Managing communications in a program like this means, simultaneously, communicating information about the program to a number of different audiences –each with specific needs. It also means keeping local business and individual donors updated on needs and accomplishments. Additionally, Jake helps Senior Director of Development and Communications, Daniel Meloy, with small online fundraising projects and the annual DC SCORES Cup.
He is keenly aware of the role that social media play and decides which channel to utilize, and how, based on the information he's trying to convey and audience he's trying to reach (see tips, below). And it's really impressive (and helpful to us!) that each day, Jake dedicates a block of his time to catch up on the trends in social media.
With the most recent economic downturn, it became apparent that the contributions from businesses are not something that a nonprofit can always count on. And with an annual budget of $2 Million, that's a sizable nut to crack. So, like many other nonprofit organizations, it became imperative to find a way to diversify funding. In this case, they leveraged the social networks of individual donor via crowdfunding and peer to peer fundraising.
A Page from Jake's Playbook
Facebook: Ideal for fun, "fluffy" or feel good messaging. This is the best outlet to reach coaches and parents, so keep the messaging in line with that audience. Pictures are a necessity: research shows that posts with pictures get three times theengagement than merely text. Here are some other really useful Facebook posting tips from Social Media Examiner
Twitter: According to Jake, this channel tends to be best for engaging partners, as it allows for maintaining a presence within an online community. For example, perhaps they connected through a grant application at first. Twitter allows an easy way to keep that partner in the loop on how DC SCORES is putting that grant to good use. It's also perfect for saying "Thanks for coming out to the game". There is also a rule that anytime the staff interacts with a partner or funder it's tweeted out. By doing this, it acknowledges, thanks, and brings that funder to more of a stakeholder level.
But with so many different themed messages and constituents, it can get hairy. So, Jake is a fan of TweetDeck which is a free app which helps organize your Twitter account, making it a much more efficient place. He loves how he can customize the content of the tweet for a specific segment of their 2300 followers. With this tool he can create lists about topics and he can create a list of top followers (those that interact with DC SCORES frequently) So, if they are running an online campaign, he can send direct messages to get them involved.
Linkedin: This channel tends to keep a more professional tone and appearance. It's best for reaching a demographic of older stakeholders from corporations or on boards. You can look at Linkedin as the formal presentation for your nonprofit and check out this advice on how to make it look its best.
Instagram: Even more than Facebook, this channel is completely reliant on pictures. It's the newest frontier for DC SCORES, as they just joined in March after being asked by kids in their program "why aren't you on Instagram?"
So it is the most effective channel for engaging the kids in the program. Think of it as Facebook for the younger set. As such, it's a great tool for cultivating a culture of DC SCORES that can span the years from childhood through adulthood. The children who are active in the program today can become the volunteers and stakeholders of tomorrow. Here's some help on how to get started using Instagram for your nonprofit.
An unexpected benefit? With continuing engagement, some children who participated in the program at school age return later in life to volunteer. And after that, who knows how they'll play a future role in DC SCORES.
Do you have an example of incredible engagement that you'd like to share with us? If so, email email@example.com with a summary.
About: DC SCORES DC SCORES uses a team-based approach providing youth with the arts, athletics, and academics that will engage, enrich, and improve their lives. DC SCORES builds teams through after school programs for 1,500 low-income DC youth at 47 schools by instilling self-expression, physical fitness, and a sense of community.

Dear Spinnoff Athlete,
Weight loss and Sports nutrition
Weight loss seems to be the big topic at Spinnoff this week as Summer lurks 8 weeks from now .
The easy way that works is Booze and Bread products
( yes spelt too ) Pasta and white Rice .
If you cut out these foods, double your fruit and veggies and stop drinking wine and cocktails you'll lose weight fast.
Pasta and rice needs to get cut out too. Replace with cans of white beans ( high in protein) and quinoa.
Add fish meat and eggs to your meals , so you feel full and are having enough real protein.
Eggs contain Iron and Vitamin D and B and if you stick to organic eggs they are really clean healthy food.
Dairy is actually very good for you in spite of popular press. Dairy products contain B vitamins , Vitamin A , Vitamin D, Calcium , Potassium and magnesium . Cutting out dairy means you also reduce your intake of these important vitamins.
Use full fat everything , low fat is also low nutrients and very often high in sugar.
Don't bother with protein powders unless you really are an athlete or you want to have bulky muscles.
Sports nutrition is not actually sugary water drinks and high glucose bars . You don't need these powders for everyday life and if you're not a body builder .
It's eating real food so your body can be at its best to be lean ( not thin ) strong, and efficient as possible.
Eating real food is the main rule in life .
Nutrient bars and so many trendy new foods are fattening and NOT real food or required at all.
I know people and the marketing industry want to think that magic formulas and special diets are required but trust me this simplifying works a million times better than all the other stuff you can do.
Vodka with soda water ( single shots) with lots of fresh lime or lemon juice if you feel deprived of alcohol.
Remember that alcohol really affects your mental health so if your having wine regularly and feeling anxious or a bit down in the daytime , it is often connected.
I know it takes discipline to change habits but discipline is required in life and once you tackle the first 3 days of any habit it really is much easier.
We also find on our Spinnoff food plan that having a 5 hour treat days on a designated day ( mine is Friday ) when you can have all the stuff you're cutting back on it helps mentally.
The rule is don't change the day off ever so if you miss the designated day you have to wait until the next week . Then schedule a Spinn class for the day after your cheat day so you feel fresh again and you get the endorphin high #winning
Discipline . Motivation may die but discipline will make you succeed.
So set routines and schedules not great big far off goals and dreams.
That way when your Summer clothes are required you don't have all the mental chaos and shopping depression.
These next 8 weeks we are concentrating on weight loss and endurance spinn classes with lots of arm and ab work before our stretches.
The summer push is on .
If you have some time we would love a review on Facebook at Spinnofflondon
The weekend is filling up fast so get booking !

Uplifting the Needy
David Barun Kumar Thomas, an IIT-ian, left his job with IBM in 2003 to start India Nirman Sangh, a voluntary effort aimed to empower and uplift the standards of the rural poor in Palani Hills area of Tamil Nadu
In the backward Palani Hills region of Tamilnadu, India Nirman Sangh, a voluntary organisation started by an IITian, is working to improve the living conditions of the poor, particularly women. The organisation works to win the trust of the people in a village by forming small thrift and savings groups and then arranging for micro credit through local banks. The group uses this money to give loans to their own members who may need the loan for a variety of reasons. Peer pressure among the members ensures a near hundred percent loan recovery rate. Over time, the groups begin to take up local issues such as sanitation, drinking water supply, the problems in the local ration shop etc. and using collective strength, they are often able to bring about dramatic changes. They ensure proper implementation of government welfare schemes and collectively resist both goondaism and police high handedness. They also voluntarily came forward in 2007 to take up and implement a government scheme to build toilets for each home and completely eliminate open defecation in three
Some of the groups have also started tiny businesses – running grocery shops, ration shops, tea shops, distilling and bottling eucalyptus oil, processing and packaging Kodaikanal coffee, anufacturing inexpensive sanitary napkins and running a carpentry workshop. India Nirman Sangh incubates these businesses and helps them run profitably and professionally.
India Nirman Sangh is led by David Barun Kumar Thomas (IIT Kanpur 1977). David left IBM in 003, came to Kodaikanal and since then has been involved in community development. India Nirman Sangh has a small budget and is entirely funded by donations from individuals. The Directors do not draw any remuneration or enjoy any fringe benefits from the

PHMSA agrees to provide public notice of hearings
Federal pipeline safety hearings are getting a little more open.
The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) has agreed to a request to post advance notice of enforcement hearings, so reporters and the public can ask to attend.
The request was made by the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press (RCFP) and E&E News, which have been pressing PHMSA for a more open process.
"In response to your request, PHMSA will include hearing scheduling letters in the publicly accessible case records," PHMSA Chief Counsel Paul Roberti wrote in a letter to RCFP.
PHMSA already posts records pertaining to enforcement actions on a page of its website. The records include enforcement documents sent by the agency and the company responses. But up to now, the agency generally has not posted the dates of hearings in advance.
Hearings have long been held behind closed doors when companies have challenged PHMSA enforcement orders. Earlier this year, E&E News and RCFP challenged that practice, threatening legal action to gain access to a hearing on Cheniere Energy Inc.'s Sabine Pass liquefied natural gas export site in Louisiana (Energywire, March 21).
PHMSA officials agreed to open the hearing to the press and public, although the presiding officer wound up closing several hours of the daylong hearing in Houston. The agency explicitly made no commitment to open up future hearings.
Following that, RCFP attorneys asked PHMSA to make public the dates of future hearings in advance so the public can request access. Roberti's June letter was a response to that request.
"This is a positive step toward greater transparency that will allow the public to better monitor and understand what PHMSA does and how it does it," said RCFP Legal Director Katie Townsend.
But PHMSA noted that public notice won't necessarily mean public access. Roberti said that if reporters want to attend a hearing, they need to request access in advance, and the agency will evaluate the request. Presumably, members of the public could also request to attend, having gotten notice of the hearings.

Here you'll find articles and resources for STEM+Arts education, also known as STEAM. Topics include science, technology, engineering, math and arts education and range from research reports to feature articles to profiles of makerspaces to news about new STEAM and STEAM initiatives in schools.
Microsoft and VictoryVR have made a library of virtual-reality-based science content available free to schools that are using headsets running Microsoft Windows Mixed Reality.
Robotics programs across the country are appealing to non-STEM-oriented students too, even as they learn science, tech, engineering and math (along with a whole bunch of soft skills) on the side.
To help educators understand how to set up STEM-oriented 3D printing experiences for their students, MakerBot, which sells 3D printers, has put together a bundle of free resources for teachers, available in its educator program.
While dissections are an integral part of most biology classes, many states now have laws in place that give students the right to opt out of animal dissections. The new solution offers schools an option, starting with a VR frog, which is expected to be available in this quarter.
The project was undertaken by video game lover and STEM coach, Jennifer Snyder, who saw the gear in use at the University of North Carolina Charlotte and added it to her wish list.
KinderLab Robotics has released a new curriculum for early elementary grades designed to support education in robotics, coding and computational thinking. "Growing with KIBO - A Progressive Robotics Curriculum for Grades K–2" also offers integration with arts and literacy activities.
English language learners are underrepresented in STEM fields, in both college and on the job. To understand how education can better work with these students (who could speak one of 350 different languages in the United States) is the topic of a new report from the National Academy of Sciences.
A new 3D printing technique developed by University of Michigan researchers is producing results in one-one hundredth the time of conventional printers.
A Michigan district is hoping voters will agree to a $39 million bond to cover capital needs, security and the addition of makerspaces to every school.

What is there to do in Trinidad?
Let's join Hayden, Clinton and other Old Blue alumni from nearby Venezuala on a rugby tour of Trinidad and Tobago for this epic adventure in January.
Trinidad and Tobago (/ˈtrɪnɪdæd …
The island of Trinidad was a Spanish colony from the arrival of Christopher Columbus in 1498 until Spanish governor Don José María Chacón surrendered the island to a British fleet under the command of Sir Ralph Abercromby in 1797.[17]During the same period, the island of Tobago changed hands among Spanish, British, French, Dutch and Courlandercolonizers more times than any other island in the Caribbean. Trinidad and Tobago were ceded to Britain in 1802 under the Treaty of Amiens as separate states and unified in 1889.[18] Trinidad and Tobago obtained independence in 1962 and became a republic in 1976.
As of 2015, Trinidad and Tobago had the third highest GDP per capita based on purchasing power parity (PPP) in the Americas after the United States and Canada.[19] It is recognised by the World Bank as a high-income economy. Unlike most of the English-speaking Caribbean, the economy is primarily industrial[20] with an emphasis on petroleum and petrochemicals; much of the nation's wealth is derived from its large reserves of oil and natural gas.[21][22]
Trinidad and Tobago is known for its Carnival celebration and as the birthplace of steelpan, the limbo, and music styles such as calypso, soca, parang and chutney.

We work constantly with churches which are looking to hire new staff members. One of the most surprising pieces of counsel we offer is this: In hiring church staff, competence is not the main thing!
For example…your First Church hires a lead musician. His talent is unsurpassed. He is a master of his instrument his voice is remarkable, as is his ability to engage people in worship. You assume that he will raise the musical excellence on your music team. You are filled with hope.
Initially, all goes well. But then things begin to unravel. He doesn't get along with people. He is not a team player. He seems more committed to being up front than to serving in and forwarding the mission of the church. His priorities simply do not match the core values of the church.
Sound familiar? Hiring the right people is essential for success in the church, in any organization. A key difference is that churches generally find it harder to fire an employee. If and when the firing eventually occurs, it usually takes so long that the damage done lingers for a long time.
While churches should, of course, improve their processes for firing people that they need to let go, the better thing to do is to hire the right people in the first place. Too often we end up hiring based on competence, which then leads to firing for character.
Often, when a church is ready to fill a position a team begins by drafting a list of competencies needed. Skill sets, experience levels, knowledge base and education are all at the top of the competencies list required. The first interview begins with a recitation of those competencies. Then, maybe a question or two about character or values is thrown in for good measure. But this misses the mark.
Character and values that are a mismatch to the culture and values of the congregation is the number one reason we see when employees are let go in a church.
In light of that, process should start with exploration of the culture, values and character of the applicants and comparing that to the culture and values within the church.
You can't instill values in a person. They exist in the person already. Hires that do not share your values and culture will dilute them.
Zappos is a company that embodies hiring and firing based on values. Zappos is overtly willing to hire and fire people based on their clearly stated core values, completely independently of their job performance. They are ready and willing to do this completely independent of the person's ability to have the skills to execute the job. This is remarkable, and remarkably smart.
So where do you begin?
First, clearly articulate the church's culture: core values, character, ethics, relational style. You cannot match the person to something you are not clear about yourself.
Second, draw up a list of personal characteristics and values that match the culture of the church. Every hire, no matter what the position, should be a match.
Finally, it is now time to talk about competencies for the particular position. If the potential hire fits the culture of the church well but is lacking in some competencies, hire that person right away and spend the money, time and effort in providing what they need to grow into those competencies. You will not regret it later!

Kitchener, Ontario, with her husband Ron and four bun babies: Tegan, Pepper, Butters & Beckett. She graduated from Indiana University of Pennsylvania with a BA in English and an MA in Literature. She's wished to be a Vampire since age five. She hopes to one day work full time as an author, since there are many, many books living inside her head.
cashew flour crust pizza and treats made with xylitol and almond, coconut or cashew flours.
trilogies featuring Maura & her family!Â
the hideous error in judgement executed in collusion with her best friend, Valdamir, and adoptive sister, Susie, Maura has been cut off from the pair's friendship and support, forbidden by both her father and the fallout from the dire outcome to see either of them. The heartbreak she suffers, brought on by the weight of these estrangements, is only intensified by the continued mysterious absence of her supernaturally-destined mate, Ron…whose disappearance delivers
grave consequences Maura would have never dreamed possible…
Maura cannot yet comprehend, the young changeling will be forced to guard her back with every step, as she comes to realize this member of her vampire family would love nothing more than to bring about her demise. Aldiva's wrath calls forth other members from both Vancouver covens, forcing them to rush to Maura's aid—even though her father, their king, has expressly forbidden the other vampires to initiate contact with his daughter. Will her extended family on
Vancouver Island obey, abandoning Maura to her doom, or will they instead rebel against Maxwell's wishes in order to save her life?Â
unsolicited enemy, the unlikely vampire princess will find herself drowning as she is pulled down into the depths of a far more devastating crisis…one which may condemn her to a fate she considers much more undesirable than death. But in order to tear herself free from the deadly pull which is drawing her under,
Maura must enlist the help of her preternatural family, exposing her newfound friends to a danger none of them have ever had the misfortune to face before. Can she be saved or will the riptide drag Maura under…along with those she loves the most…Â
Trilogy, the first of several trilogies to come, the reader will delve even deeper into the secrets guarded by Maura's father, the mystery of Ron's role in her life and the identities of the mysterious Vancouver Island Coven members who have, up until now, remained hidden in the shadows. This trilogy rounds out
the segment of Maura's life during which she discovers she is a member of The Born—a human destined to complete her transformation into a vampire! This series of young adult fantasy novels has been enjoyed by readers of nearly
every age and are found by them to be dramatically different from any other vampire books they have read in the past. Discover a magical world filled with fae, angels, elves, pixies and other enchanting creatures in addition to two families made up of some of the most likeable vampires—for the most part—to ever

I gasped before I could squash my alarm. She loved to come out with statements rife with shock-value just so she could laugh at my reactions. Although she did this often, I still hadn't learned to quell my startled expressions, placing myself again and again at the mercy of her dark humor—a fitting element of her unique personality.
I tried to beat her at her own game. "Absolutely.†I affixed a warm smile in place and lifted my wrist to her. "Just a sip, okay?â€
She called my bluff. "Oh! I was hoping you would grant me permission someday! You do smell delightful.†Millicent did take a sip of me, albeit a tiny one, but it earned her another deer-in-headlights-of-a-very-large-truck expression from me.
"Mmmmmm…†She licked her lips before throwing back her head and filling the kitchen with her dusky laughter. "Seriously, though, you taste very nearly like him.â€
I took that as a compliment.

From strict Stand Your Ground laws to a strict judge overseeing the Zimmerman trial working long hours and weekends and nights, the Zimmerman trial jury sequestration rules were anything but strict and allowed for unsupervised visits of up to two hours with family and friends during the weekends. According to an agreement obtained by WFTV and their reporter, Kathy Belich, after the trial concluded, Judge Nelson entered into an agreement allowing for unsupervised visits meaning alone time with family for up to two hours. Unsupervised means that potentially anything could be said or read without a sheriff or court personnel present during the visits. More disturbing is the fact that the media and public were not made aware of the arrangement during the trial. All that was known during the trial was the jurors would be away from their family during the trial.
The secrecy and undisclosed agreement during the trial is but one more insult to what many believe is an unjust verdict. If the jurors were allowed visits of two minutes, it would have been enough to taint the verdict. Two minutes is sufficient to sway a juror's mind with a comment from a close family member. Now, presumably, the jurors were told to refrain from discussing the case or anything about the trial. And as we saw in court, jurors were always reminded of the instructions each time the court took a recess.
The secrecy on the limits of sequestration found only after the trial concluded only adds fuel to an already burning fire that the jury verdict was tainted. It started with the not guilty verdict, continued to juror B37's TV interview and now this stunning and new revelation of unsupervised family time. Many African Americans who are distrustful of the criminal justice system working in their favor have one more example to show how the process can be compromised. And the fact that the sequestration agreement was not known to the media during the trial, although everything except bench conferences were live streamed, further leads to a more than bad taste in some people's mouths.
The revelation of unsupervised family visits will not change the verdict. George Zimmerman cannot be re-tried. Double jeopardy disallows it. There are rules against juror misconduct. It's unlikely that any family members will come forward to say they discussed the case. But with juror B37's TV interview and possible book deal with her lawyer husband, just hours after the verdict, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to think that discussions did occur and possibly before the verdict.
The shroud of secrecy around the sequestration agreement further darkens an already dark moment in the outcome of the Zimmerman trial for many African Americans. Florida Stand Your Ground laws and judges, like Judge Nelson, can be strict when they want to be and relaxed when they should be strict. I previously applauded Judge Nelson's presiding over the trial except she failed in perhaps, the most important function of the Zimmerman trial, jury sequestration.

Whether its caroling in the snow, building gingerbread houses, or posing for photos in matching Christmas sweaters, the holidays are full of family traditions.
Bob, Donna and Clint Hansen of Maui Luxury Real Estate LLC have their own family tradition—one that continues to brighten the holidays for kids in need. For the past two decades, the Hansens have collected thousands of toys for the Friends of the Children's Justice Center of Maui. "When you see the sparkle in a child's eyes, you know it is the right thing to do," Donna said. "The children who benefit have been through such trauma in their innocent lives."
It is a sobering reality: According to the National Children's Alliance, nearly 700,000 American children are victims of neglect or physical or sexual abuse every year. That's why Hawaii's Children's Justice Centers are so important. The centers are programs of the Hawaii State Judiciary and were established by the state legislature in 1986 to ensure a fair and neutral process for the handling of reports of child abuse. Today, there are five centers statewide: West Hawaii, East Hawaii, Oahu, Kauai and Maui (the Maui center also serves children living on Molokai and Lanai who are flown in for interviews and medical examinations). Each center is designed to make children feel safe and comfortable while being interviewed about reports of child abuse, particularly sexual abuse, and as witnesses to crimes. On average, the state's Children's Justice Centers see an estimated 1,300 children per year—and many of these children arrive with no more than the clothes on their backs.
That's where organizations like the Friends of the Children's Justice Center of Maui step in to help. Like its counterparts on Oahu, Kauai and Hawaii Island, the Friends of the Children's Justice Center of Maui supports the Children's Justice Center, promotes community awareness of child abuse and neglect and provides services to help children recover from the damaging effects of their abuse.
Among other things, every holiday season, the nonprofit collects and distributes toys to abused and neglected kids of all ages throughout Maui County. And for many of them, it's the only gift they'll receive.
Simply put, these toy drives make Christmas wishes come true. "Because of people like the Hansens, we've never had to say no to a child," said Paul Tonnessen, executive director of the Friends of the Children's Justice Center of Maui. "They are phenomenal."
Throughout the year, the Hansens round up gifts, gift cards and cash donations; the toy drive kicks into high gear after Thanksgiving and culminates with an annual party at the family's home in mid-December (however, the Hansens will continue to collect donated toys until Monday, Dec. 22). All of the donations stay in Maui County and will be distributed to children on Maui, Molokai and Lanai.
Bob, Donna and Clint say they are forever grateful to those who support the toy drive every year. "There are a lot of beautiful people that contribute to this important event," Donna said. "One of the many is the outstanding support given by the Jackson Rancheria Band of Miwuk Indians, who donated thousands of dollars to help the Maui children with their needs."
The Hansens encourage others to support the Friends of the Children's Justice Center of Maui in any way they can. "Just know that you are making a child have hope—they will know someone cares and they are not alone," Donna said. "Our children are our future; give them a chance with whatever you can. There are many ways to give back, your time being one thing."
And there's still time to contribute to the toy drive. You can bring a new, unwrapped gift for children of any age (or a gift card or check made out to the Friends of the Children's Justice Center of Maui) to the Hansens' office during normal business hours in the Wailea Town Center, 161 Wailea Ike Place, Suite A-106. You can also call 874-8473 to schedule a pick-up.
Or, you can drop off donations at the Friends of the Children's Justice Center of Maui office, which is located at 1773-A Wili Pa Loop in Wailuku. For more information about the Friends of the Children's Justice Center of Maui, visit www.mauicjc.org or call 986-8634.

Freight significance much greater of latest US-China tariff threat
The US imposed 25% import tariffs on $34 billion of Chinese imports arriving from 6 July with an additional $16bn of tariffs imminent but US officials are also considering raising the level of planned tariffs on a further $200 billion of Chinese import goods from to 25% as the trade dispute between the two countries escalates.
How manufacturers and their transport partners re-engineer supply chains to manage higher tariffs will be a complex process; but one certainty, according to analysis by logistics investment analyst Stifel, is that the impact on transport costs and logistics strategies will be inflationary and negative.

Asia-Europe: Weak demand threatens box recovery
Weak consumer confidence in the UK and sluggish retail demand in Germany have dragged down freight volumes between Asia and Europe during the first half of the year, despite a generally bright picture for demand elsewhere, according to a new report from Drewry.
The slowdown occurs as yet more ultra large tonnage is being deployed on the Asia-Europe trade. Westbound slots in July were up by 10% compared with last year's figures. The Drewry report stated that Westbound spot rates were heading below the psychologically important barrier of $1,000 per 40ft container. Not only was this rate erosion causing spot prices to undercut annual contract rates, but it came at a time when lines were facing a sharp spike in fuel costs.

Asia-US: Peak season looking happier for carriers with transpacific freight rates set to rise

On the Asia-US east coast trade, spot rates rose 8.9% to reach $3,099 per feu, and analysts predict that carriers are set to enjoy a better peak season than in 2017 – at this point last year, spot rates had begun to decline.

Greek freight carriers eye for domestic rail network
Freight transport by rail is the least developed sector of the Greek rail market, with revenue not surpassing more than 20 percent of the total. According to the internet information service Railway Applications Section (RAS), of the Greek rail sector's revenues of 62 million euros in 2016, only 12 million is related to freight.
This situation is due largely to the country's focus on developing road-based passenger and freight transport. Indeed, until recently, the country's largest port, Piraeus, had no rail connection. The already long existing line to the port of Thessaloniki needs a major upgrade.

ADB to provide USD 80 billion for Climate Action in Asia-Pacific Region
The Asian Development Bank (ADB) has pledged to provide $80 billion in climate financing to South Asia and the Pacific over the next decade under its new Strategy 2030. Due to the disastrous impacts of climate change, countries in Asia and the Pacific are at the highest risk of plummeting into deeper poverty if mitigation and adaptation efforts are not quickly and strongly implemented.
The ADB intends to ensure that 75% of the number of its committed operations will be supporting climate change mitigation and adaptation by 2030, thus aligning its aspirations with major global commitments such as the Paris Climate Change Agreement, Sustainable Development Goals, the Financing for Development agenda, and the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction.

1 1/2 cups ground walnuts
1/2 cup ground cashews
1 1/2 cups cooked brown rice
1 1/2 cups fresh breadcrumbs
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 onion, chopped finely
2 large eggs
about 10-12 fresh sage leaves, finely chopped (*I used 5 fresh, as I am not a huge sage fan, I think double that amount would be very over-powering, but that might be just me)
400g (14-ounce) tin chopped tomatoes (*I used two large fresh tomatoes, seeded and chopped)
1/2 teaspoon salt
freshly ground black pepper
2-3 potatoes, chopped
generous glug of milk (*I used about 1/4 cup soy milk)
knob of butter (*I used 1 Tablespoon)
Prepare the ingredients:
For me this meant shelling and grinding the nuts, cooking the rice, processing the breadcrumbs, frying the onion in the oil til brown and cooking the potatoes for about 20 minutes and mashing them with milk and butter. (*I bought my nuts already shelled and ground them at the local natural food store. I prepared the rice as per normal directions with a 2/1 water ratio, and boiled the cubed potatoes for 15 minutes)
Mix nuts, brown rice, breadcrumbs, fried onions, eggs, sage leaves, tomatoes and seasoning. Adjust seasoning according to taste. (*I added garlic, cumin, black and white peper and salt) The recipe said to mould into a roll and cover with mashed potatoes. My mixture was not that firm so I decided to spread it in a lined and greased 22cm square tin and spreading a thin layer of mashed potato over the top. (*I didn't even try to mold it, just put it in a loaf pan and covered it with the mashed potatoes)
I baked the nut roast in the oven at 170ºC for about 50 minutes and then for 15-20 minutes at 220ºC until the mashed potato was browned and starting to crisp up. It reheated well the next night in the oven without any foil over it because mine wasn't that brown. (*I baked it at 325ºF for 45 minutes and then broiled it for 5 minutes to get the top crisp, I would keep an eye on it the last 10 minutes, remember I am at a very high altitude and that effects cooking times).

The Museum of the Year 2016 has been awarded to the V&A. The £100,000 prize, the biggest museum award in the world and the largest arts accolade in Britain, was presented to the London institution by the Duchess of Cambridge at its neighbouring establishment, the Natural History Museum, yesterday evening. Organised by Art Fund, the prize is annually given to a museum or gallery that has demonstrated imagination and ground-breaking achievements in the last 12 months. Previous winners include Yorkshire Sculpture Park, The Whitworth, and the British Museum.
Selected for its significant transformation in 2015, the V&A has welcomed nearly 3.9 million visitors to its sites and engaged with 14.5 million audiences online through its innovative and record-breaking exhibitions. Notably, a recent retrospective on the late London-designer Alexander McQueen entitled Savage Beauty attracted 493,043 viewers from 87 countries, while its Europe 1600–1815 galleries opened to great acclaim last December. The iconic art and design museum's India Festival of exhibitions also drew an international audience with displays of the rich and varied culture of South Asia.
The V&A was handpicked from a line-up of nationwide finalists including Arnolfini (Bristol), Bethlem Museum of the Mind (London), Jupiter Artland (West Lothian), and York Art Gallery (Yorkshire) by an expert jury comprised of: Gus Casely-Hayford, Curator and Art Historian; Will Gompertz, BBC Arts Editor; Ludmilla Jordanova, Professor of History and Visual Culture, Durham University; Cornelia Parker, artist; Stephen Deuchar, Director, Art Fund.
Deuchar, who is also chair of this year's judges, said: "The V&A experience is an unforgettable one. Its recent exhibitions, from Alexander McQueen to The Fabric of India, and the opening of its new Europe 1600–1815 galleries, were all exceptional accomplishments – at once entertaining and challenging, rooted in contemporary scholarship, and designed to reach and affect the lives of a large and diverse national audience."
Last night's ceremony welcomed an array of guests from artists Antony Gormley, Grayson Perry, Michael Craig-Martin, Cornelia Parker, Mat Collishaw, Gavin Turk and Yinka Shonibare to Museum Directors Nicholas Cullinan, (National Portrait Gallery), Sir Nicholas Serota (Tate), Martin Roth (V&A), Sir Michael Dixon (Natural History Museum), Charles Saumarez-Smith (Royal Academy of Arts), and Axel Rüger (Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam).

We have all experienced the service of an employee who clearly does not want to be there, and most of the time, we get angry and complain, but there's always a part of us that understands them, too. A career expert designed some questions to ask yourself: are you actually in the right job? One of the questions is this:
Do you have room – and the energy – to grow? Every year should bring fresh challenges. It's a giant warning sign when your job theoretically leaves you room to grow, but you lack the energy to tackle those "challenges." Are you being pushed to grow in a direction that holds no interest for you?

So, with the 4th of July around the corner and knowing that we will be up later than usual snacking I wanted to have something sweet on hand ready to go! This takes some planning but not much! All you need is one ingredient! Yes, that's right –Just one ingredient! BANANAS!
The planning just requires time for the bananas to freeze. This can be accomplished in 2 hours but ideally overnight!
Some things to add that make this treat feel like a guilty pleasure:
Frozen Chocolate chips- My fav!
Reese's Pieces Peanut butter cups chopped
Chocolate syrup
Peanut butter
-Really if the main ingredient is JUST a Banana you can add any topping you like and feel good about it!
- Take a ripe Banana
- Slice it up into quarter sized pieces
- Place in an air tight container and place in the freezer for at least 2 hours but overnight is better
- Blend chopped bananas in blender or food processor
- At first the bananas will look crumbled and smashed. Scrape down into blender and keep blending.
- They will become gooey like banana mush but scrape down with a spatula and keep blending.
- They will begin to look like oatmeal again scrape and blend!
- Then like magic they become soft served ice cream! If you are adding any fixings like chocolate chips or Peanut butter this is when you add it!
- You can Eat your banana ice cream then but it will be soft or freeze again in an airtight container until solid and ENJOY!!!!
👉🏽Why this is good for us runners:
After glycogen is used up in about the first 15 minutes of exercise, the body begins to use energy reserves such as fat stores to fuel running. Eating bananas before or after a run helps to provide or restore, respectively, carbohydrates.
There are 105 calories and 27 grams of carbohydrates in one medium banana!

Children's Helpers Worldwide is aiming to support two aspects of ORT SA CAPE's work in Cape Town. The first allows children from disadvantaged areas to gain exposure to science and technology directly, through doing robotics and visiting the Science Centre. The second trains teachers to effectively teach children how to read, which has a great impact on their progress in all subjects, including maths.
Research shows that, in South Africa, 6.5 million children under 6 are deprived of critical early learning opportunities. For every 100 children entering school, 40 will complete their Matric exams (in their final year of high school); 28 will pass; 4 will study further and 1 will graduate with a degree in science or technology. In addition, many children are not able to read well by the time they reach Grade 4. Teachers at that stage have not been trained to teach basic reading skills.
ORT SA CAPE's science workshops allow children from impoverished communities to gain exposure to science, technology, engineering and mathematics (the STEM subjects) through doing robotics. Through robotics, the children develop innovative solutions to problems, create something from scratch according to their own ideas, and engage practically in teams. The literacy trainings enable teachers to teach more effectively and this has a multiplier effect as it will impact many disadvantaged schools.
These projects are part of ORT SA CAPE's wider programmes, which include educational research, evaluation and training. The children's workshops build the confidence of participants and can inspire a long-term interest in the STEM subjects. This opens the children's minds to the possibility of careers in STEM. The literacy trainings will ensure that teachers in disadvantaged areas are better equipped to deliver a quality education. This will give the children more opportunities for the future.
This project has provided additional documentation in a PDF file (projdoc.pdf).

Each year, the CDC invests in a national awareness campaign to educate the general population about the importance of influenza vaccinations and encourage continued vaccination through December, January and beyond.
This year, the National Influenza Vaccination Week (NIVW) will be observed from December 7th-13th. It's still not too late to get vaccinated, so hop on the bandwagon to good health!
The flu can be a serious disease that can lead to hospitalization and sometimes death. Anyone can get sick from the flu. While the flu can make anyone sick, certain people are at greater risk for serious complications from the flu. These people include:
- children younger than 5, but especially younger than 2
- adults 65+
- pregnant women
- American Indians and Alaskan Natives
- people with medical conditions including asthma and neurological and neurodevelopmental conditions
Symptoms of the flu can include fever, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, body aches, headache, chills and fatigue. Some people may also have vomiting and diarrhea.
The CDC recommends that everyone 6 months of age and older receive an annual flu vaccine, as it can reduce flu illnesses, doctors' visits, and missed work and school due to flu, as well as prevent flu-related hospitalization and deaths.
Flu viruses are constantly changing. Each flu season, different flu viruses can spread and they can affect people differently based on differences in their immune systems. Even healthy children and adults can get very sick. Because of this, the composition of the flu vaccine is reviewed each year. If needed, the vaccine is updated to protect against the influenza viruses that research indicates will be the most common during the upcoming season. Even in years when the vaccine composition does not change, new flu vaccine is manufactured every season because all seasonal flu vaccine expires by the end of June.
Protect your family this year from the flu by getting yourself and your family members vaccinated at any one of our ProHealth locations in Pensacola, Gulf Breeze, Milton, Santa Rosa Beach, Fort Walton Beach and Crestview.
