Now that you've learned how to choose a reliable broker, it's time to open your first trading account! Brokers usually try to make this as easy as possible, so opening a trading account can be made in three easy steps:
- Choosing an account type
- Registration
- Activating your account
Choosing the Account Type
The first step in opening your trading account is to select the account type you want. There will usually be two options: opening a personal account and opening a corporate account.
Brokers have also offered "standard," "mini" and "micro" accounts in the past, with the difference in the minimal lot size that you can open with the account. Nowadays, many brokers allow you to open custom lot sizes so this isn't a big deal anymore.
Trading with custom lot sizes is very popular as you can easily manage your risk per trade, especially if you are new to the market or an inexperienced trader.
The account registration involves submitting some documents to confirm your identity. This will usually vary from to broker, but with stricter regulations of retail forex trading there is no way around this. Sending a document that confirms your identity and address (like an electricity bill for example) will usually be enough.
Account Activation
After you have completed the steps above, it's time to wait for the broker to do his part of work. In a few days, you should receive an email that confirms your account is activated, your username and password to log on to the broker's system, and several ways to fund your account.
After you fund your account, you're ready for your first live trade!
But, before opening a live trade, you should make sure that you've traded on demo account for at least a few months to get a feel for how the market is moving. Being profitable on a demo account doesn't mean you will be profitable on a live account! Trading on a live account with real money involves different emotions that you need to control to become successful in the long run.
Even when you open a live account, always have proper risk management and never deposit more than you're ready to lose!

I have said here before in a very long post on RP that the Army should emphasize that every Soldier is a rifleman just like the Marine Corps teaches that core philosophy, and that they should fundamentally alter their basic training to adopt many of the mythological aspects and symbolism in being a Warrior of Democracy. The Army's History is chock a block full of wonderful examples where cooks, clerks and baker's with no more than their Basic training, helped defend against getting overrun, whether by the Germans in WWI, the Nazis or Japs in WWII, the North Koreans and Chinese in the Korean War, or the NVA/VC in the Vietnam War, and right up to Iraq and Afghanistan Wars. Army basic training should emphasize the mystique in wearing the US Army Soldier's uniform and the Earning the title of Soldier, and with the specific MOS De-emphasized. The Esprit De Corps should come from earning the right to call yourself "An American Soldier." The saddest thing I ever heard from a recent Army basic training grad was that he did not feel special to graduate from Army basic training ( a feeling he said was common in his recruit training company). Every Marine that graduates from the Crucible and Boot Camp invariably says that next the the birth of their kid, that was one of the greatest moments in their lives. I cannot believe the Army cannot replicate that if they wanted to. Imitation it is said is the greatest form of flattery. I wish my KIA grandfather's Army the very best in Success in improving the way it makes Soldiers out of Civilians.

CPT (Join to see) - Captain, I disagree. Every recruit going through Army basic should graduate as a rifleman. Basic training is where it should happen as an inclusive part of the recruit regimen. For that same reason everyone should PT qualify. How can one be called an American Fighting Man or 7Woman when they can't pick up a rifle and use it? PT capability reduces fatigue and enables any service member to perform better!

I don't disagree with you. The Army is trying to turn it around with a 22 week Basic with mandatory passage of basic rifle qual and APFT test. It used to be that way in the before the global war on terrorism took hold and SJWs took office. You are right about the rule of threes as well. It was that way in 07 when I went through OCS.

It is simple, pride. Correct me if anything i say is incorrect because I am in the army. I have had a few interactions with Marines and one thing ive always noticed is they are proud to be where they are and what they are doing. Im not saying there is no one proud to be in the army because i know of a lot of people that are. But in the marines rank isn't just handed out like the army. Im sure awards are the same way. I have little knowledge on the promotion system for the marines but in my expierence that E-4/lance corporal is one of the most feared NCOs. Where as the army it is handed to you at 2 years at most and refered to as the sham shield. The army is concerned about feelings and everybody is a winner. It is also acceptable for someone who is not combat arms to not know how shoot there weapon. The army concerns themselves with admin far too much and to little on continueing to train in there job or basic infantry tasks. The basic fundamental needed pride. Proud to be a soldier, as well as understanding that a soldier is more than a cook, mechanic, clerk, and truck driver. Supposedly in the army we are soldiers first your job second but nobody from the top down enforces this. Its all about lets keep these guys happy and let them leave at 1500. Our METL (mission essential tasks list) is based on what your unit should be capable of doing. The warrior skills level 1 is tasks that should be annualy trained on but every body forgets about it after basic training. These tasks are things from react to direct fire to land nav. I love being in the army I am proud to wear my uniform and train my soldiers but that is all I can do right now is change my little part of the army.

Just one correction: E-4 is a Corporal; Lance Corporals are E-3s and not NCOs. However, when necessary, a senior LCpl is capable of leading a fireteam in battle, though it is typically a position held by a Cpl.

We want your business to have maximum engagement with social media, so here's an explanation of the shadowban and some tips on how to get around it.
What is the Instagram Shadowban?
Instagram hides your posts from people who don't follow you. Even when you apply hashtags, they go unseen and unsearchable by those who aren't yet following you.
Why does it exist?
The shadowban is in place to deter spammy or inappropriate behavior. The issue is that repeatedly used hashtags (that aren't spam) are being lumped into the ban.
How can I tell if my business is affected?
-Check your hashtags using a friend's Instagram. If you see them, you aren't affected.
-Use an Instagram shadowban analyzer.
How can I lift the shadowban?
-Don't use banned or broken hashtags in your posts. Use unique hashtags instead!
-Don't use software that violates Instagram's terms of service. This means that auto-posting software (this doesn't apply to the "later" option) can result in the post being shadowbanned. In some cases, your entire account can be shut down as well.
-Avoid big surges in Instagram activity. Be aware of how many photos you like, comments you leave, and accounts you follow because too much may get you mistaken for a bot.
-Avoid being reported by other users.
-Take a short break from Instagram. Just take a few days off and your shadowban can be lifted. When you come back, be sure to post manually.
-Report your shadowban to Instagram. Say This: "My post isn't showing up with the hashtags I've put on them." Don't Say: "I am losing engagement due to the shadowban on my hashtags." Also, don't tell them your account was hacked because that team doesn't work with the shadowban.
-Consider switching from a business account to a personal account. The reason for this is because business accounts are more likely to be negatively impacted by a shadowban, which leads them to buy ads. Switching to a personal account may help you fall off Instagram's radar.
I hope this guide helps you better maneuver your Instagram account and improve your engagement. If you need further explanation or have any questions, please feel free to send me a follow-up email at [email protected]!

LEWISTON, N.Y. — Many of golf's greatest players have played in the Porter Cup. It's one of the top amateur tournaments in the world. While Tiger Woods played in the tournament and had a hole in one, he didn't win it. Phil Mickelson on the other hand, won the Porter Cup in 1990.
The first round tees off Wednesday, July 24 at the Niagara Falls Country Club.
While it was a wet spring, it has been dry enough that NFCC pro John Boss told 2 On Your Side that a little bit of rain wouldn't be a bad thing.
"We were under water until about a month ago and now believe it or not we need some rain so hopefully the remnants of the tropical storm is going to give us some rain starting tomorrow," Boss said.
There are no defending champions in this year's field. Chun An Yu, a senior at Arizona State is considered the favorite in this year's Porter Cup.

My mental health placement with International Medical Aid taught me so much about not just mental health and the mental health system in Kenya, but also about myself. I completed my placement at Port Reitz Mental Health and Substance Abuse Unit and I only wish I would have had longer. Port Reitz taught me strength by surviving and adapting to minimal standards of working conditions due to lack of funding. The undying support by the staff was above impressive considering the limited resources they have. Additionally, the stigmatization around mental health in Kenya was at the forefront of challenges experienced by staff and patients alike. It is very confronting to accept that for so many families they are related to 'crazy people who have lost their mind' to quote many family members directly.
I have a deepened interest in creating awareness of mental health and mental illness in Kenya and other African or third world countries who deserve to be educated on the need for mental health facilities but also in order for them to understand their own family and community members who have been struck with mental illness. This is how I would like to shape my career, working in these respective countries to help combat the stigmatization surrounding mental illness, and Port Reitz has definitely helped me understand the need for this and the way that the families need to be educated.
My first day was difficult and heavily confronting, especially seeing men in blue and white striped clothing in the isolation unit. The prison like structure at Port Reitz is a very difficult environment for staff to confidently and efficiently assist in the patient's recovery. My second day created a change in me, when a young patient was walking beside me saying 'don't be scared.' It was in that moment that I realised that perhaps my body language had shown I was reserved, and that was the last thing that I wanted the patients to feel. We had arrived at Port Reitz being debriefed that the patients could be violent, and that was the understanding that I had in the beginning. I wasn't scared of the illness, but I was scared of the ideas about the patients that had been pushed onto me. The heavy sedation of the patients meant that I never actually saw them act out or be violent, and with me they were grateful, interested and always showed a smile. Their happiness was contagious because it was a little bit of hope that I needed to see in what could be such a difficult place to seek such an emotion.
The staff at Port Reitz were so committed to ensuring I had a fulfilling experience, and I could not thank them enough for the time and effort they put into ensuring that I was gaining everything possible from my time there. But amongst my gratefulness, they were so thankful that I had been there, a feeling I could not comprehend as I could never have done as much for Port Reitz as it did for me. I learnt so much about counselling in my time with the clinical psychologist. It was interesting because many outpatient cases will only ever visit for counselling once, which meant that much different counselling approaches needed to be taken compared to Western cultures in which clients will often come back multiple times.
During my time at Port Reitz there was a visit from the local MP who made numerous promises to the hospital, ones that I knew he was not necessarily obliged to follow through with. I wrote him an email myself, hopefully making him a little bit more accountable for what he had said, but also as a desperate plea to do something for a place that had shared so much love, generosity and compassion with me. The political system severely underfunds and does not recognise mental illness and the needs of these hospitals to continue functioning adequately. However, it is only recently that my own country, Australia, has been able to combat these fears and misunderstandings surrounding mental illness. I only wish that I could bring our politicians together and let the Kenyan government be more educated on these issues. The government body should be the first people to promote mental health awareness, but without this structure in Kenya the mental health facilities and those suffering with mental illness will continue to suffer because the stigmatisation is at the forefront of the challenges for both staff and clients.
Whilst I cannot discuss specific counselling cases, I can guarantee that each one gave me a unique cultural perspective on the differences between Western and Kenyan approaches to dealing with relative issues, and the challenges that cultural and religious views can have on dealing with specific cases. It is not possible to throw Western ideologies and ways of counselling into Kenya because that would neglect the cultural differences that are so apparent and necessary when dealing with individuals.
Overall, I would not change my experience with IMA for the world. I am so privileged to be invited into Port Reitz and be immersed in the environment of both the staff and the patients. A piece of me will stay with this hospital forever.

Verse 1
I will sing the wondrous story
Of the Christ who died for me.
How He left His home in glory
For the cross of Calvary.
I was lost, but Jesus found me,
Found the sheep that went astray,
Threw His loving arms around me,
Drew me back into His way.
Verse 2
I was bruised, but Jesus healed me;
Faint was I from many a fall;
Sight was gone, and fears possessed me,
But He freed me from them all.
Days of darkness still come o'er me,
Sorrow's paths I often tread,
But the Savior still is with me;
By His hand I'm safely led.
Verse 3
He will keep me till the river
Rolls its waters at my feet;
Then He'll bear me safely over,
Where the loved ones I shall meet.
Yes, I'll sing the wondrous story
Of the Christ who died for me,
Sing it with the saints in glory,
Gathered by the crystal sea.

BUYER BEWARE! Mercury Retrograde May 18-June 11: What NOT To Buy!
MERCURY RETROGRADE is starting tomorrow, Monday, May 18th and will last until Thursday, June 11th.
DO NOT PURCHASE ANYTHING ELECTRONIC Computers, Tablets, Televisions, Radios, Stereo Equipment, Cameras, Phones, Appliances, (Washers, Dryers, Refrigerators, Microwaves, Stoves, Crockpots, Toasters, etc). Anything that is run with electricity and/or has electronic chips/processors in them, (which, nowadays, includes almost everything), SHOULD NOT be purchased on a Mercury Retrograde.
DO NOT TRAVEL OR MAKE RESERVATIONS This includes Airline, Train, Bus, Cruise Tickets, Hotel Reservations, Excursion packages, etc. etc. If it can at all be avoided DO NOT TRAVEL, even by car, on a Mercury Retrograde, nor make future travel plans on a Mercury Retrograde. Of course, one has to live! *lol*, but be extra careful when driving around town. YOU may be a great defensive driver, but others are not. Be especially alert during this time as accidents abound while Mercury Retrogrades. Why? Because Mercury rules both cars and travel!
DO NOT SIGN ANY CONTRACTS! Buying a house, Selling a house, Lawsuits, Any kind of Loan, (College, Car, House, Credit, whatever). Do not place an Ad in the paper. Do not List stuff for sale on Ebay, etc. DO NOT SIGN ANYTHING until the Retrograde is over. I cannot be emphatic enough about this!!!!!
DO NOT HAVE/SCHEDULE SURGERY, ETC Of course, this speaks to Elective surgery; any kind of surgery that is 'scheduled'. Emergency Surgery is a different story. This admonition also goes for Dentistry. If it can be 'scheduled', don't have any work done during a Mercury Retrograde; nor, schedule during a Mercury Retrograde any future work to be done. Wait until Mercury goes Direct to make appointments.
DO NOT START ANY NEW PROJECTS Exercise, Diet, Kitchen/Bath Redo, tearing your car apart and replacing with a new Transmission/Engine, etc. Don't start a new Learning program/Educational classes. Don't try a new Recipe. Don't even try a new Restaurant! *lol* Don't have new Carpet/Flooring installed, Roof repaired, etc. etc. WAIT until Mercury goes Direct on June 11th.
MERCURY RETROGRADE is a time to lay-low, take a breather, relax, THINK about future plans NOT take action on those thoughts. It's a time to make sure that all the i's are dotted and t's crossed before signing on that dotted line. It's a time to get your ducks in order, double-check everything, let every contingency come to light BEFORE signing on that dotted line or taking action on any new projects.
It's an adult TIME-OUT. And, while often frustrating because we feel like a charged-up horse being held at the gate, this time is SO conducive to putting our best foot forward to ensure that the wonderful plans and expectations we had in mind are actually fulfilled without extra cost, time, effort, and aggravation. June 11th is when the gate will open again and we can run like the wind to fulfill our dreams.
Don't forget that it works on children too. You may find them more cranky, demanding, and frustrated at this time; which just so happens to be the perfect time to teach, and experience, PATIENCE… theirs and our own.
Remember, 'For every thing, there is a Season'.
Mercury Retrograde IS NOT the Season for any 'thing', any 'action'; it is only for dreaming our future. Get those dreams firmly in mind. Dream of how wonderful, beautiful, and happy this 'dream-come-true' is gonna make you. And, when the gate opens again, THAT is the time to then MAKE IT HAPPEN, MAKE IT MATERIALIZE.
The last MERCURY RETROGRADE of the year will take place from Thursday, September 17th to Friday, October 9th.
Andrew Lessman doesn't post here…please consult your doctor about your health.
I will take your advice into consideration. BUT, if they put the Bose Radio on sale on May 29, I'm throwing caution to the wind and buying one! lol 🙂
I don't know much about the above….I am not superstitous. But I do know one thing. Only purchase what you can afford. Do not charge up your credit cards beyond your ability to pay it off each month.
Hmmm…on Tuesday my cat gets her 'lion cut with plume' haircut, ears cleaned, bath, nails clipped and I have to drive her to her beauty appointment…hope this is okay but sounds iffy…
Will let you know how it goes.
She so loves her 'do'!
?.•**•?Hello there FaireMaden, interesting, very…. This has to do with Alignment of Mercury? Wondering what sign you are, if you don't mind, astrologically? Double Scorpio here with LeoRising, Thank You, I see some turbulence already, with my niece wanting to call off her wedding over nonesense, and he's avoiding her now too:)?.•**•?TD, have a great day, and thank you for your information. Do you know anything about biorythms? just curious, I follow mine:)?.•**•?
Very interesting FaireMaiden. Thank you for the info. I will try my best to follow it. My gut feeling
tells me if I do it will be smoothe sailing for me.
?.•**•?THANK U SO VERY MUCH for your help, I was very involved with ASTROLOGY, have had my yearly done in New York, by Kenneth Dickerson, he was right on with me. I found it extremely fascinating. Wow, this was so long ago, I know he's passed by now, yet he was wonderful:)
I don't feel like your typical scorpio, double no less, I am way to easy, I wear my heart on my sleeve, people hear I am scorpio and they think I am going to sting. I am soaring always, not ready to sting anyone, yet your time of birth has a lot to do with it, plus you always have the way you were taught, development in young years of personality, and coming from a strict Italian upbringing, not many believe, and I just chuckle:) THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH:) You are very informative, and on the money. I enjoyed this:) td
Thank you Faire Maiden! This is certainly something to think about.
Hi Beautiful FM,
Can I travel to the beach 5 hours away? If not, how about the lake 1 hour away? I could rent a hotel room close to the lake, but that is not my preference. :womansad:
I have asked for a couple of days off after the holiday.
This is freaking me out. my anxiety is in overload right now:(
Well, I had to buy Adriennes Skin Spa Home Facial Kit with RTC Capsules. With the price that it is including the serum and capsules, coupon 154614 of $15.00 off plus I had $5.00 spendable kash and 4 flex I couldn't pass it up. And 30 days to return if I don't like it.
But it's still the 17th my time so should be ok!! But thanks for the warning. Hmm and would battery operated be considered electronic??
I would also say do not start a job. I started the job I have now on 02/25/2013 the start of Mercury Retrograde.
The experience has been like walking with one tennis shoe and one high heel. :womanfrustrated:
I booked a hotel a little over 1 hour from the house. I will go shopping. There is an outlet nearby.
A nice lake is about 20 minutes away from the hotel.
I looked at the hotel site and called in to book because I had questions about an upgrade.
She quoted me a much higher price for the stay. I told her I could book it cheaper on the hotel
I was told to book it myself, and the price would be honored.
She was right! :womantongue:
Faire is being married alright?:womansurprised:
Hi there again, FaireMaden, I am so enjoying your thread, am wondering if you do this for fun, I know when I had my chart done it's very intricate checking out where all our others signs, I have to dig up my chart, hope it lasted through the hurricane sandy, unsure. I know I had a lot few in Cancer, I am married to an Aries, lol. I believe I have some signs in Cancer, but I know I am not a Cancer definitely, my sister is. Do you know her walk resembles a crab, seriously.
I know what Scorpio's are capable of, what direction they like to go, that part of me is very investigating, and always reading, I seek every direction for knowledge. It's why I had to obtain so many degrees in education, and still seeking, but not at this time. Thank You, I have found myself from a child to now, as a caregiver, very adventurous in mind, no fear of opening a business, and try to stay level. I am going to look for my chart… I see Happy Birthday is in order …Wishing Pixie a very happy Birthday with many more beautiful and blessed days for You:) Pixie:)
off to look for my chart:) thank you again FM, xox td xox

Hello everyone! How are you? Climate change is not a phenomenon that is only detrimental to the environment and our health but it could also...
What Is the Level of Negative Impact that One Cup of Coffee Has on the Environment
The beverage that awakens us in the morning, and in the afternoon served with some treat, restores our desire for life. Probably some for us, though rare ones, while drinking their daily dose of coffee, thought about how much the influence it has on the environment, instead of "Ugh, does an alternative economic system exist in which we do not have to get up early in the morning to earn money for food?". Or eight o'clock in the morning is only my notion of "early dawn" as well as this thought is just mine?
Anyhow, today I am dealing exactly with that – how much collateral damage is made by seemingly harmless habit.
Consequences on biodiversity
Coffee thrives in tropical and subtropical climates at high altitudes. It grows in the shade of tree trunks, and with plants and animals from the environment contributes to the enrichment of biodiversity.
Due to increased market demands, since the 1970s, coffee has been cultivated in sunny conditions on plantations. With the necessary fertilization, this technique creates higher yields, but eliminates the diversity of flora and fauna.
Imagine a reddish juicy cherry that has a grain of coffee in its center, instead of a seed. Its way to your coffee pot starts exactly in this form. The process of separating a greenish-blue grain from a thick, bitter velum and sweeter interior results in an enormous amount of residues, pulp and parchment.
During the six months of 1988, the processing of about 547 thousand tons of coffee in Latin America produced 1.1 million tons of cellulose waste and polluted 110 thousand cubic meters of water per day.
Due to the recognition of the problem of waste in coffee production, in recent years we have witnessed significant progress in the field of its solution – coffee husks are composted and mixed with animal manure, and used to stimulate the growth of agricultural crops.
Carbon footprint
Carbon footprint is a measure of total greenhouse gas emissions directly or indirectly caused by individuals, products, companies or events. Or in our case – a cup of coffee. Its measuring unit is CO2e.
What is the participation of different types of this beverage in the production of pollutant
- 21g CO2e – black coffee, if you boil the exact amount of water you need;
- 53g CO2e – white coffee if you boil the exact amount of water you need;
- 71g CO2e – white coffee if you boil twice he amount of water you need;
- 235g CO2e – big cappuccino;
- 340g CO2e – big latte.
Although compared to the pollution dimension of heating systems and vehicles, the contribution of coffee is very small – it is not imperceptible. If we drink four cups of black coffee in one day, we will surely drop 30kg of carbon compounds in a year in the atmosphere, as much as a car that has crossed about 65km. Three big latte coffee a day? The amount of harmful substances, for which we are responsible due to this simple ritual of caffeine use, is increased up to twenty times and equals to that one produced by a plane that has crossed half of the European continent.
The biggest impact on the has – milk, which is a common culprit for two-thirds of the total footprint of coffee with this addition – more than growing coffee and boiling water together.
One of the reasons for the share of milk in the carbon footprint is that it comes from cows that emit a high level of methane as ruminants, about 23 times more dangerous gas compared to carbon dioxide.
An obvious way to reduce the harmful effect of your cup on the environment is to reduce or avoid milk in preparation. This will adversely affect its nutritional value, but we could compensate for lost calories with biscuits or chocolate. I recommend white Delhaize with coconut and cornflakes. Thank me later! Someone who is more persistent in proper nutrition than me could completely skip additional treats – and carbon pollution.
Water pollution
Coffee bean processing is a serious ecological threat to watercourses. The main source of pollution are plants for processing. The release of harmful organic matter from the plant causes the algal blooming of water and "steals" the oxygen from plants and animals settled there.
Because of the presence of other plants, traditional cultivation technique relie on a much smaller amount of chemicals than industrial plants. "Sunburn" coffee requires an intensive use of pesticides that cause the risk for the health of people and the health of nature.
A non-profit research organization, the World Resources Institute, conducted a survey that revealed a high level of exposure of people to harmful pesticide influence in Latin America and other developing countries. The removal of coffee from the shade of trees to the Sun is related to the increased use of nitrogen fertilizers that participate in the nature pollution.
Replacing traditional, supposedly inefficient, coffee-growing methods – with the sunny one – was fatal for 2.5 million hectares of forest capacity, only in Latin America. Uncontrolled wood logging threatens the ecosystem, atmospheric dynamics and the quality of water quality.
Soil quality
The consequences of newly introduced agricultural practices in growing coffee have effects on the soil as well. Soil parameters have changed, and plantations of reduced vegetation also face erosion.

What photos are most worthwhile in a photographic survey? Think about what needs to be photographed and from where. Some subjects like coastal trees and the range of the tide will need to be photographed from a distance. The distribution of mussels or the invasion of weeds will require closer photos.
The next page has some ideas of what could be photographed. Every location will be different and you might just have something unique that will indicate change in the environment.

Ragoutsaria Carnival in Kastoria
A friend of mine asked me to join him to AEGEE event "Ragkoutsaria: The crossroad of Greek and Balkan culture" whick took place in a town in northern Greece. I had no idea what is AEGEE, Kastoria nor Ragkoutsaria but it didn't really matter so I decided to join him.
On Sunday the 5th of January we tried to get to Kastoria (On that day I learned that's the name of the town where we're going) by hitchhiking. I didn't really work out since the only one who stopped for us was a police man saying you shouldn't stand here next to the highway... After these well spent five hours we took a bus to Kastoria which was ridiculously expensive, 78e for return ticket.
We arrived to Kastoria on Sunday late evening and started to get to know people there. Slowly I started to learn what is AEGEE as well (non-profit student organisation for international young Europeans where students are organising events for other students and meeting together somewhere.) We staid at some kind of scout shelter which was just a perfect place for this kind of thing.
We staid in Kastoria for four nights and during that time I learned more about Kastoria, Ragoutsaria (a carnival which takes place in Kastoria), the history of Greece and I met a bunch of great people. We did some sightseeing, attended the carnival and went for horse riding. I got a cold and didn't sleep enough but it was worth of it.

LEEK United manager Dan Berrisford has arrived home from China this week after completing the charity run of a lifetime…along the Great Wall.
He joined over 2,000 other competitors on Saturday 20th May to take part in The Great Wall Marathon, widely regarded as one of the toughest in the world.
Dan, aged 30, spent almost eight months preparing for the challenge, which he undertook in aid of three charities close to his heart.
"It was undoubtedly the hardest thing I have EVER done –26.2 miles of pure torture," said Dan, of Northwood, Stoke-on-Trent.
"I feel so proud to have finished the full marathon, but a lot of people who started didn't make it; the temperature at the highest point on the wall was recorded as 43 degrees –the hottest it's ever been for the race –and at least 50 people fainted due to the heat."
Although he was not competing with a specific target time in mind, Dan completed the race in six hours 26 minutes –almost three hours longer than his time for the recent Manchester Marathon.
His traveling companion and fellow Stoke FIT (Friends In Training) running club member Michael Beasley, of Burslem, also successfully completed the Great Wall run.
The causes Dan will divide his fundraising between are: the Stroke Unit at the Royal Stoke University Hospital –where his aunty's life was saved after a suspected severe stroke (which turned out to be viral meningitis); Bloodwise, an organisation dedicated to improving the lives of patients with all types of blood cancer, following the death of a colleague from leukaemia; and The Donna Louise Trust, in memory of a close friend's young son.
During his preparation for the race, Dan's training diary was published on the Society's website, and he also posted regular blogs from China during the trip.
He has set up a fundraising page for anyone who wishes to sponsor him.Back to news

Dr. James LaPlant, inaugural dean of the VSU's new College of Humanities and Social Sciences, has taken on the added position of the College of Sciences and Mathematics, VSU's other new college.
A dean was in place for the College of Sciences and Mathematics but made the decision to back out at the last minute. Dr. LaPlant stepped in on July 1 to fill the void.
"There were multiple options being considered," he said. "I said, 'however I can help out, I'm willing to serve'."
Dr. LaPlant has taught Political Science at Valdosta State for over 20 years and served as the associate Dean for the College of Arts and Sciences.
While taking over as dean of two colleges seems like a huge task, Dr. LaPlant seems happy to be the one to take on the responsibility.
There is currently a search being conducted for a new dean. Dr. LaPlant, who's chairing the search committee, hopes to find someone with great administrative experience in science and mathematics, excitement about coming to a university like VSU, and eagerness to help build research, graduation and retention rates.
Though those aspects are important to the search committee, LaPlant said what's most important is finding someone who's willing to meet with students in those colleges.
In fact, students even have a say in the process since because an upperclassman student is on the search committee for the new dean.
The committee hopes to interview candidates in October and have a new dean to take over the College of Sciences and Mathematics by January.
Last year, VSU made the decision to divide the mega-College of Arts and Sciences, which consisted of more than a dozen departments, into two smaller, more focused colleges.
Thus the College of Humanities and Social Sciences and the College of Sciences and Mathematics were born.
According to Dr. LaPlant, the decision to have two separate colleges came from the university wanting a greater focus on things such as mission, undergraduate programming, and research along with many other aspects of education in its respective programs.
The decision also brought many mixed feelings among the faculty and staff of the college, but Dr. LaPlant saw it as a good move that would launch VSU on a "positive trajectory for the future."
He sees this separation as a good idea for many reasons including his ideas for a community advisory board, better internships and career opportunities for the students in these colleges, and even hopes of fundraising and engaging current students.
"[With the two new colleges] students will have a better sense of connection to their college," LaPlant said. "The key to success is the faculty, staff, and students."

Hi, I'm using Access that comes with Office 365. I have a customer that has a main office and three remote offices. The three remote offices will have an Access front-end database that I would like to link back to the Access back-end database at the main office. I know I could output new data at each remote office to an Excel spreadsheet format and have it emailed to the main office and then imported into the back-end, (through code on a main office front-end form). That doesn't seem to be the best way and although I can automate several of the steps, it is still steps that I would like to eliminate. If their entries could be made directly into a table(s) that are accessed by the main office, that's a much better way. I thought I saw something about being able to use SharePoint that comes with Office 365 and essentially store some tables in SharePoint that could be accessed by the main office and remote offices. Is this a web database?
I'm looking for advice and documentation on how others have addressed something like this. The remote office's inputs are fairly small but they occur on a daily basis.
Any ideas?
Thank you in advance,

...from my wedding gift to Jeremy! We were looking through it over the weekend and remembering God's goodness as we walked together into married life. I decided to make this art journal by altering an old book I found. I love the old funny drawings and the text showing through in places!
Journaling and scrapbooking are important to me because it helps me to remember what God has done. I love to look back and celebrate His faithfulness and that He is trustworthy. It also helps me to work through what I'm learning, so I did several of the pages during our time in marriage prep class at our church. I'm so excited about this journey that God is leading us through!
I wanted to show you just a few pages....
We were thinking about adding a little to it each year and Jeremy mentioned how amazing it could be to hand it to our kids someday and share with them the story that God wrote for our married life! Through hard things and beautiful things God has been so faithful to us.
happy Wednesday!

sunday, rest day. most of my sundays are spent catching up with reading books and articles. i understand rest is integral physically and mentally, allowing me to recover after an active and demanding week from both work and lifting. i understand rest allows my body to repair and strengthen itself. i understand it helps be recharge my batteries, giving me a good work/life balance. i understand it can help prevent over-training.
while sunday is a rest day, i become antsy and restless.
grip training is something i do often, as it is so easy to incorporate into my training. immediate benefits from various lifts; whether it's gripping a sandbag, swinging & lifting kettlebells (purposeful thick handles), thick bar or towel pull-ups. i'm very conscious of the importance of strong hands. seriously, how often do we use our hands?
barbell wrist curls
barbell wrist extensions
hand-to-hand stone pinches
barbell 2 x 10 reps
stone pinches 2 x 15 reps
barbell work for lower arm strength, build the forearms a little.
stone pinching to work fingers, especially thumb strength.

Sweet Briar College Alumnae Rally & Raise $3 Million To Save Their School From Closing
When they found out earlier this month that the all-female Sweet Briar College in Virginia was closing, students, faculty and alumnae were understandably devastated at the news. But now, a new alumnae group calling itself "Saving Sweet Briar," has raised $3 million and is determined to help save the 112-year-old school from closing, The New York Times reported. The group is also seeking answers from the Sweet Briar administration, demanding that the college's finances be made public, and faculty members have voted unanimously to oppose the decision to close Sweet Briar.
In a statement, the Sweet Briar faculty requested a meeting with the board of directors, to discuss alternatives. But the administration, which said the school will have to close in August due to "insurmountable financial challenges," says the funds raised so far are not enough; its consultant estimates Sweet Briar needs $250 million to keep operating, the Times reported. When he announced the closure, Sweet Briar president James Jones cited two major factors which led to the school's financial woes.
…the declining number of students choosing to attend small, rural, private liberal arts colleges and even fewer young women willing to consider a single-sex education, and the increase in the tuition discount rate that we have to extend to enroll each new class is financially unsustainable.
According to the "Saving Sweet Briar" website, the school's board of directors did not tell the larger community about the financial difficulties prior to the abrupt closure announcement, and "no viable alternatives were considered to save the college." The group is skeptical of the $250 million figure, and an editorial in The Roanoke Times applauds the alumnae's efforts and calls on the Sweet Briar board to resign.
Sweet Briar's alumnae are now actively engaged in trying to raise money to save the school. Let them take over. If the existing board is right, then a new board would surely come to the same, sobering conclusion.
The Roanoke Times editorial points out that the nearby University of Maryland, which has more than 27,000 undergraduate students (much larger than the 500-student Sweet Briar), has an endowment of $250 million, and questions why the smaller school would need the same amount of money to keep operating.
Sweet Briar's mission statement says the school "empowers and educates young women to build and reshape their world however their passions lead them." It seems like a determined number of the school's alumnae are doing just that, taking the skills they no doubt honed at Sweet Briar to try to save it.

Got up and left early this morning to head south toward Sea Ranch, CA about a 45 minute drive from my Tiny House. It's not raining so I will take advantage of the dry weather as much as possible.
Stopping at Bowling Ball Beach I take the short walk down to the water to view this interesting formation. Sadly the tide was up and the waves were crashing on the point you needed to get around to see this site. Not wanting to get swamped by a wave I decided to forgo the view and save it for another time.
At Sea Ranch I follow a Coastal Path to the ocean and walk along the bluff to enjoy the crashing waves below. Beach access has been roped off due to high tides and rouge waves so I enjoyed the view from above. I remember back in the 1970's when Sea Ranch was getting started as a community and it had some wonderful alternative architecture in the area. The location I was at, sadly had many pretty tacky large modern style homes with a few nicely designed coastal homes mixed among them.
A short drive south brought me to the Sea Ranch Chapel. Completed in 1985 this non-denominational chapel used for prayer and meditation was designed by James Hubbell an artist and architectural designer using his creative talents at using local natural materials along with gifted local contractors, craftsmen and artisans to build this free flowing structure that appears to reach skyward while blending in with the surrounding countryside. Gifted by Robert and Betty Buffum, the grounds surrounding as well as the structure are open to the public 365 days a year.
Light rain is starting to come down but will not stop me from visiting Port Arena, CA to walk out the short pier and around the town to see the town so close to my rental. It is a nice town although being the off season many stores were sadly closed. I had heard there was free internet in the Public Library so I went in to dry off and check my e-mails that I have ignore for a few days.
Heading back to the Tiny House I decide to close out the day with a walk out to the headlands by my place. Sadly halfway out, the rains started again and increased in intensity. Getting back to the room, I was wet but happy. About 10 minutes after I returned the heavens opened up in a rain storm that continued late into the evening. At my place I changed into dry, warm, comfortable clothes for he evening, made dinner lit the fire and again sat reading for the evening listening to the rain coming down on the roof. So peaceful.

It was a week of excitement and celebration for the students of Shaw Avenue, Forest Road and Clear Stream elementary schools as they celebrated their sixth-grade graduations on June 20, 21 and 22, respectively.
After each class watched a video montage of their time in elementary school, they received words of encouragement from Superintendent of Schools Dr. Nicholas Stirling, members of the board of education and their respective building principals.
Retirees were commended for their years of service to the district, and students impressed with musical performances as well. At Shaw's graduation, students sang "Keep Your Head Up" by Andy Grammer and "See You Again" by Wiz Khalifa (featuring Charlie Puth). Following their dazzling renditions, the band performed "Good Time" by Owl City and Carly Rae Jepsen. At Forest Road's graduation, the string ensemble and sixth-grade audience wowed the crowd with "Something Just Like This," by Coldplay and the Chainsmokers and "Ain't It Fun" by Paramore. They closed out their performance by singing "Don't Stop Believin'" by Journey. At Clear Stream, the students performed "Time to Say Goodbye" by Teresa Jennings and "Breakaway" by Kelly Clarkson, touching their loved ones and teachers.
Following their performances, the Valley Stream 30 sixth-graders received their diplomas and officially said goodbye to elementary school. Now, they embark on their next challenge — middle school.

rough night. i made the mistake of watching a show online that involved a crew in a submarine trapped 2000 feet down and consequently i had trapped and alone dreams all night. not at all what i needed.
i called a friend at 1230 am just because i felt like i was losing it. i love that my community has volunteered to help me through this. he prayed with me and i returned to fitful sleep. the dreams were still dark and unreasonable. they made no sense and yet i was terrified to wake unless that caused me or someone else to be lost forever. i woke with a start more than once.
rough night. now i have to figure how to fill my day.
