Whether Jacksonville is the home of the most red light runners in the state is a matter of dispute.
It seems that way.
Surely, you have waited at a green light while a line of cars turning left pass through the red light in front of you.
Surely, you have felt you were being pushed through the red light by impatient drivers behind you.
The epidemic of red light runners is dangerous. There aren't enough police officers to keep everyone in line.
Thus, a number of Florida cities have begun taking photos of autos running red lights, then fining the owners.
That proposal was made in Jacksonville, too, but not yet implemented. The first reason is safety.
A study was made of seven cities that have used red light camera systems. There was a decrease in the type of crashes likely to create injuries, mostly in right-angle crashes. There was an increase in rear-end crashes.
Thus, the best intersections for these camera systems would have higher traffic volume and large numbers of right-angle crashes, reported the staff analysis by the Florida Senate.
But no less a motive is revenue. Government is looking for ways to replace lost revenue, and this is a convenient source.
Now a bill is moving through the Florida Legislature that would set standards for using photos to catch red light runners. It's called the Mark Wandall Traffic Safety Act, for a Manatee man who was killed in 2004 by a red light runner.
Among the key items in the bill:
Penalty: A fine of $150 would be assessed for running a red light. This would not be a part of the driving record of the operator, no points would be assessed and may not be used for purposes of setting motor vehicle insurance rates.
Revenue: 60 percent go to the city or county, 20 percent to the county court and 20 percent to hospital trauma centers.
There are exceptions:
- Driving through the intersection to yield to an emergency vehicle or as part of a funeral procession.
- Driving through the intersection at the direction of a law enforcement officer.
- If the vehicle was reported as lost or stolen at the time of the violation.
- If the driver passed through the red light due to a medical emergency.
- Or if the driver had already received a traffic citation for the alleged violation.
If this is what it will take to make drivers slow down and drive more safely, while freeing police officers for other activities, then it's worth being passed.
Consider it a user fee to support the Florida's trauma centers, while also saving lives.

This is a guest post from Sara Shay of Your Thriving Family, and second in a series of two on gifts that don't fit your family (but it's not about size). See the first installment right HERE, which covers how to thank someone for something you don't want.
Now for the practical stuff. When you get gifts from family, friends, or acquaintances that don't fit your eating or healthy living philosophy, what do you DO with them?
Pre-Screen Where you Can
I felt a little weird when I started do in this. But, not only can I remove unwanted gifts, I can limit what they have at one time and set some aside for later. This is really easy to do for gift bags, wrapped gifts are a little harder – but you get inventive.
You are the parent. Just because it was given to them, doesn't mean they have to keep it, open it or eat it. What happens when the inevitable, "how did you daughter like the whatever" question is asked??? Use your judgement. If my family has genuine reactions to foods and products I am honest about it – and as we eliminate chemicals and unhealthy foods we do have reactions.
This even goes for toys you would rather your children not have. Perhaps you don't do Barbies, or princesses or guns or violent toys. Or maybe your house is just overrun with all the noisy toys it can handle. You have the right to say no. You have the ability to speak with your children and tell them why.
Teach Your Children Grace and Thankfulness
This goes for us moms as well. Always say thank you. Always smile. Even if it is a corn-syrup, GMO, cream filled, soybean oil chocolate Santa Claus. Take it, pocket it and throw it away later!
We haven't done any grains for our 15 month old yet; we are waiting till his molars come in. Recently my 7-year-old told me one of her classmate's little brother's eat crackers. I explained to her that she did too when she was his age. But I have since done a lot more reading and research. We are doing what is most healthy for our family. This is what is best for our family. Theses are the guidelines our family lives by. That family isn't bad, they are doing their best just as much as we are. Just as I have learned not to be preachy or judgmental, we also have to pass that on to our children.
Instead of, "no thank you, we don't eat that" – a "no thank you" will suffice. Many times if it is, "here's something for the road," we simply take it.
Lead By Example
Pretty self-explanatory – don't be the do as I say parent. Be the do as I do parent. Share your struggles with your children. Personally, I have had a hard time kicking soda to the curb. When I am verbal about that with my children, they call me on it! I don't want my children to have the same struggle I do. I know they will have their own, but there are many I can prevent.
If needed, allow little indulgences. Instead of withholding, which can send children on a binge when they get the chance, create safe places. Allow the small piece of forbidden candy or food when at social gatherings. Split the junk between the family – cause each kid doesn't need their own fudge cookie.
Trash It
Seriously! In December, I walked into my kitchen to discover two "chocolate" laden advent calendars. After exclaiming "Seriously", in my exasperated, I-really-need-to-stop-using-this-as-a-replacement-for-something-else-tone – I put on my boots, walked out the the trash can and tossed it in.
Sometimes it isn't worth the time, effort and space in my home awaiting a new destination. I know it feels wasteful! But wouldn't you rather not add that waste in or on your body, or your kid's?
Bless Someone Else
A while back I remember a thread of comments on Kitchen Stewardship discussing the ethical implications of donating less than healthy foods, like enriched white wheat pasta . . .At the beginning of all my transitioning and learning I wanted to chuck it all! I desired to purge my kitchen and start over. I started viewing foods, cleaners and such as poison. Why would I want to "bless" someone with poison?
The truth is, there are people out there who have no problem buying Cheerios and Chips Ahoy cookies. And there are plenty of families who would be blessed by this food and other items. We cannot force our standards onto others, everyone has to come to their own decision.
Send It Away
I often times purge and fill a large bag with all the junk that has accumulated and send it off to work with my husband. It is out of the house and his students and co-workers get a little something as well! You'd be surprised what disappears in communal kitchens.
Another great place is youth groups or community centers or hand it off to your child's teacher to add to their kitchen. Ironically, doctor's offices and hospitals are appreciative of these items as well.
Note from Katie: I can hear you getting your fingers ready now to disagree with this part…and my personal opinion is that I only give junk away to somewhere that they'll already have exactly that junk that I'm giving and asked for more. So I'm not adding to the mess, just avoiding someone else having to buy the junk that I just moved out of my house. If that makes any sense at all…
Re-Gift It
If is isn't perishable and not "too bad" have a stash. Sometimes it is food stuffs, or lip gloss and sometimes smallish toys – that we just DO NOT NEED. Then I have my own little store for kid's birthday presents, treat bags for parties or the tooth fairy's stash.
Lose the guilt
After a couple years of doing this, I am over it. Who ever gives us these things truly wants to add to our lives. They don't want to cause me stress over what to do with it. They aren't looking to start an internal struggle within me. They desire to bless me and my family the best way they know how.
Now, what to do about those half empty baskets that started this whole rant…
It was clear that I had removed a bunch of stuff from them – they were now half empty. So I simply, combined the baskets from Nana, Grams and the few things I had purchased, into one basket for each child. My children were excited and knew no difference. They didn't know that there was a grocery bag full of peeps and cotton candy and more. They were happy with what they had! And a few weeks later, about half of what did pass the first filter went to school as well.

Rs.160 mn for fertilizer subsidy in GampahaPublished : 12:01 am October 30, 2018 | No comments so far | |
(54)reads |
By L.W. Ariyaratne
Some Rs.160 million has been allocated to the Gampaha District to provide a fertilizer subsidy for 2018/19 Maha Season, National Fertilizer Secretariat Assistant Director Nimal Dharmakeerthi said at the Gampaha District Agriculture committee meeting.
"Under this scheme, 11,513 hectares of paddy lands will be cultivated while 2,854 metric tons of fertilizer will be made available to the farmers," he said.
He said under the fertilizer subsidy programme the farmers, who are members of Farmer Organizations and owning not more than two hectares of land and using organic fertilizer, and irrigated by major/ minor/ irrigation tanks or by rainwater were eligible for the subsidy.
These farmers will be issued with 50-kilo bags of fertilizer at Rs.500 each.
"The total acreage of land in the Gampaha District which can be used for paddy cultivation is 17,068 hectares. As per the statistics available at the Gampaha Agrarian Development Department, 9,777 metric tons of paddy harvest had been recorded for the 2013/14 Maha season paddy cultivation and in 2017/18 10895 Metric Tons of paddy harvest had been recorded indicating a progress.
"During the 2018/19 Maha season, the target for paddy cultivation is 11,513 hectares. Out of which, 1695 hectares would be irrigated by major irrigation projects, while 3483 hectares would come under minor irrigation activities and the rest 6,335 hectares would be irrigated from the rainwater," he said.
Mr Dharmakeerthi said that under the subsidy scheme, during the 2018/19 Maha season, urea and other types of fertilizer would be made available to the farmers of the Gampaha District the cost of which was estimated at Rs 160 million.
He said that with the aim of achieving the targets for a bountiful harvest a preliminary programme of preparation would be launched.
Two weeks prior to the commencement of the Maha season all arrangements in procuring the fertilizer and distributing it among the Agrarian Services Centres, and educating the local Agrarian Services Officials and other relevant officers are to be undertaken, with the view of an efficient manner in the process of fertilizer distribution.
"In addition, the issues that surfaced during the 2018 Yala season will be identified with the assistance of the field officers and steps taken to restore normalcy. The main thrust of this action plan is to ensure that the farmers receive their quota of fertilizer well in time," he said.
Under this scheme, 11,513 hectares of paddy lands will be cultivated while 2,854 metric tons of fertilizer will be made available to the farmers

If you're a freelance writer you may have heard people recommend trying to find clients on LinkedIn. Perhaps in years past it wasn't a big deal to let the sleeper social media network be a background app but those days are over. LinkedIn is now a viable option for securing excellent freelance writing gigs.
How to Find Clients on LinkedIn | Prospecting Tips for Freelance Writers
I see a lot of freelancers posting in networking groups about how they're frustrated with low rates from traditional publications and don't know where to look for those niche clients who pay well. For freelance writers searching for stable, corporate clients, LinkedIn may be their shining beacon of hope.
There are good reasons for freelancers to consider prospecting on LinkedIn. For example,
- Popular freelance marketplace go-tos like job boards and content mills are competitive and there are more disappointing rates then there are decent ones
- Writers are discovering more magazine contracts filled with rights grabs (extending to television and movies) and imndemnity clauses, which don't favour the freelancer
- Journalists are finding fewer job opportunities as newsrooms get smaller and dailies are shut down. As a result they're moving into content marketing or busines to business writing
Here is what your LinkedIn profile needs
- A professional and/or decent headshot
- Accurate keywords describing what you do (nothing fancy or clever, what would your ideal client type into the search bar? Use those words)
- A descriptive summary using keywords that will resonate with your ideal client (What problems do you solve? How can you help?)
- Plain language—people are here to do business
- Bonus: the more niche, the better
How to use LinkedIn to find clients
Before you do anything, figure out how the platform works and learn the conventions. I've already mentioned people come here to do business but it goes deeper than that. Look at what type of articles and other content people publish. Pay attention to the style of comments people leave. And notice the conversations happening. They're unique to this platform so make sure you're aware of platform expectations.
Once you have a handle on the decorum, consider publishing a few articles on LinkedIn Publisher related to your area of expertise. These should be targeted at your ideal client and solve a problem they're having.
Now you're ready to start connecting
Connection type 1: search the platform for your ideal clients.
Oh, and make sure you have a good idea of who you're looking for.
For example, if you're prospecting for mid-level IT businesses, who do you need to connect with in the company? A marketing manager? If you're interested in publishing in a niche trade magazine perhaps you'll look for an editor. Narrowing your search will help you focus on the best possible matches and will streamline your efforts.
Basically, think of common titles your market would use to describe themselves (CEO, accountant, sales manager, etc.) and use those when searching.
When you're clear on your prospect then you can look for these people either using the LinkedIn Advanced Search or LinkedIn Groups.
Once you find people who fit your current client focus, reach out and request a connection. Make sure to add a personalized message to your request but don't pitch anything yet. You're just networking at this point.
These people may or may not accept your requests but for the ones who do, send a thank-you message and ask a question. But still, no pitching. All you're doing here is getting to know them a bit. Small talk. You could see if they work with freelance writers but I'd even be careful jumping into that question right away.
If the conversation progresses and the manager/editor/prospect wants to see more this is the time to send your Letter of Introduction (LOI).
Want to learn more about LOIs? I recommend reading Jennifer Goforth Gregory's blog.
Connection type 2: Connect with people who have viewed your profile.
LinkedIn lets you know who has viewed you profile. Pay attention to this! If the person who viewed your profile seems like a good fit, then send them a connection request with a personalized note.
This more or less follows the same process as above but I might be a little more casual at first, asking questions like what they're working on these days and what they're up to in general.
But if it seems like they could use a freelance writer then jump back into business mode and get your LOI ready and send it over.
Regular prospecting on LinkedIn can take as little as 15 minutes per day using the free version where you send a few connection request, comment on threads or post articles. But if it becomes an important client source you may want to consider upgrading your account to increase your search and messaging credits, as well as other perks.
One more thing. You may be interested in my free resource library. This is where I keep my files, downloads, ebooks, worksheets and whatever else I manage to create. I love sharing what I learn and want to keep adding to this library so it becomes a wealth of helpful goodness.
This is a free resource but I do require a password to access the library itself. You can get access by popping your email address into the form below.

NEW: L'Alsace at fingertips

Organic and biodynamic farming is not only about vines and wines. Discovering a more global way to do it is the deal of our workshops, tastings and wine adventure offers, have a look at the reports and book one yourselves
With the hands, thenoze, the taste... another ay of discovering vineyards! for sighted and non-sighted, it is the new workshop at VIGNOBLE KLUR, read more about its establishing.
Objects, calendars, herbal infusions, the préparâts, pictures on big screen, exchanges throughout a wine-tasting of 3 wines....and everything clear and understandable...Join us for this workshop created in 2014, details here
A season rich in cycling stops, Andiamo, Bike Air, Movélo, bachelorettes parties or stag night, every one of them stormed for the grand crus by small paths. Maps, gps and bikes furnished. A good way to discover wine tourism in Alsace, 1st cyclable region in France !
The Jenkins Family travelled to Katzenthal and reported in Huffingtonpost. "Well, it was pretty clear that to make my fantasy a reality I'd have to go abroad. So when we were invited to visit friends in France, I started planning a road trip that would take us through the famous Alsace region. Ideally, I want to stay in that little cottage at the vineyard and learn a little bit about what makes the region and its grapes so special. I found that place in Katzenthal through Vacations Abroad. The cottage was owned by the vignoble Klur, who was happy to share the winemaking process, from caring for the vines and picking the grapes, to pressing the grapes and letting their juices fall into wooden vats hidden in a cave beneath our accommodations. "Here," Monsieur Klur explained in a thick French accent, "winemaking is a family business. We welcome everyone." A small playground and pool kept the kids occupied while we took care of work in the mornings, and then we were off to explore the castle and the vineyards. We even watched glider planes and hot air balloons soar above the stately scenery. And people seemed happy to see the kids. I don't want to feel like I'm a bad mother. And my kids shouldn't feel uncomfortable because they had this experience. I liked the way that the vineyard was more than just a commodity in Europe, but also a way of life. Is it possible to have the same experience here in the U.S.? Maybe. I just haven't found it yet."
This new guide deals about best places to stop to discover wines, vines and winemakers all around France. Use it to drive around on small romantic roads discovering terroirs and grappe varietis.
Of course in Alsace stop by at Vignoble KLur in Katzenthal for a food and wine pairing, a vineyard walk, a tasting or a vacation time.

99% Of World's Elevators Now Playing Kygo Tunes
In breaking news from America, it has been reported that Kygo, the unofficial pioneer of tropical house, has signed a $2.5million deal that will see his music exclusively played in ninety-nine percent of the world's elevators.
The Norwegian producer, real name Kyrre Gørvell-Dahll, has become synonymous with "beige and bland" music, the likes of which has been found playing in elevators since they first started to appear in building in the mid-nineteenth century.
Elevator expert Peter Storey spoke to Wunderground, "The history of music in elevators, or lifts as they're called in Europe, is actually quite interesting," he told us. "Well, actually, now that I think about it, unless you're a massive elevator nerd, like me, it's probably pretty boring but, fuck it, I'm going to tell you a little bit about it anyway."
"When elevators first started to appear, around 1865, there was none of these fast speed elevators going up and down at a million miles an hour," continued Mr Storey. "Far from it, they were extremely slow, it could take up to an hour to get up ten flights and only very rich people would use them so they would hire a musician to stand in the lift and play music all day long to keep them entertained."
"From there, the way the music has got to the elevator has evolved quite a lot," explained Storey. "We've had bands playing live from the bottom of the lift shaft, on board gramophones and eventually music piped directly, but the one thing that has always remained constant is the unoffensive, bland and monotonous tone of the music, which is what makes the deal with Kygo work so well."
"This is the very first time a deal like this has been done and it's going to be great for the elevator industry," claimed Storey. "The one thing people want in elevators is to feel safe and by having the same bland music playing in them all over the world it creates a feeling of familiarity, which helps to create a feeling of safety."
So far, Kygo has yet to comment on the deal, with sources close to the Norwegian confirming that he has spent "the last twenty-four hours recording one hundred new tracks" that will be used as part of the deal.

I am not a morning person, therefore I am not a breakfast person. Breakfast to me, is the most boring meal of the day. Unless you live in Asia, but we'll get to that later. Here in Europe, breakfast is usually bread, butter, jam, nutella, etc. I have had asian friends ask me what I'm feeding my kids for breakfast and when I tell them, their responses were somewhere along the lines of "why are you starving your kids?!", " breakfast is the most important meal of the day!" and "that's bordering on child abuse".
You see, in Asia, breakfast is a huge thing. And the choices for it are ENDLESS! Just to name a few of my favourite breakfasts, we have braised duck porridge (my absolute favourite!), dry tossed noodles (I still haven't found a recipe for that), fried carrot cake (savoury, not sweet), nasi kuning, Indonesian meatball in broth and wanton noodles. Notice that it's all savoury and involves meat? That doesn't mean that we don't enjoy the Ol' bread and jam though. In fact, we have a very unique jam that's pretty much exclusive to Singapore and Malaysia.
Kaya is a very rich and smooth spread made of just three ingredients and a lot of elbow grease. Okay, maybe not elbow grease but your arm will get tired. The recipe I have here is the most basic recipe for Kaya to which you can add all kinds of flavour. Although, we usually only have Kaya in two flavours, original and Pandan.
I've never really been a big fan of Kaya but my husband and daughter are. When we ran out of the Kaya I had brought back from Singapore, she bugged me for weeks to make some. So I caved and made a batch. When I asked her if it was as good as the store-bought variety, her answer was simply, "better". With a huge grin I might add. How my heart sang!!
For this recipe, I used German rock sugar, Kandiszucker, because I wanted the caramel flavour that is typical of Kaya. But I had to grind it in a mortar first or it would never dissolve in the mass. If you can't find Kandiszucker, you could use light brown sugar or half white sugar and half chopped Palm sugar. Or you could try caramelizing white sugar first by cooking it in a separate pan. That's what I've found in other recipes but have yet to try out myself. If you do, let me know how that turns out.
Kaya (Coconut Egg Jam)
- 1 cup sugar (Kandiszucker)
- 1 cup eggs
- 1 cup coconut milk
- *2 pandan leaves, washed and tied into a knot. I didn't use any this time because I didn't want to buy a pack of 10 leaves just for this.
- In a metal mixing bowl, combine all ingredients and mix well. If you are using Pandan leaves, add it in only after the sugar has fully dissolved in the mixture.
- Find a pot that the mixing bowl will sit snugly on. Fill the pot with about two inches of water and bring it to a boil. Then lower the temperature so that the water is just simmering at a gentle boil.
- Place the mixing bowl on top of the pot (the water should not touch the bottom of the bowl) and keep stirring as the mixture slowly cooks. It will take a while before it starts to thicken. However, don't let it stand or you will get scrambled eggs instead.
- If the mass starts to clump up, don't worry, run your hand-held blender through it then return it to the heat and keep stirring.
- When it's the consistency of mashed potatoes, it's ready. This can take anywhere from an hour to two hours depending on how much Kaya you are making. This particular batch took only about an hour. Transfer the mass into sterilised jars and close the lid on it. When it's cooled, you can keep this in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. Or longer, but check for mould before eating.

I got the coolest surprise today! REB had something delivered in the mail from Olivia Munn and I immediately called him asking what it was. He told me to open it and it was two autographed magazines! Various celebrities took part in My Mag and had a magazine made just for them and then mailed them out to their fans, signed. Olivia jumped on board and said she'd send signed magazines, and REB did this for me! He also got an autographed magazine when she was on Maxim for himself.
I adore Olivia Munn. Not a lot of people like her. Even she knows that people don't like her. People have their issues with her saying she tries too hard to be awkward or whatever, but I completely disagree. She's a nerd at heart, loves video games, loves her fans and the Olivia Munn Fan Group (OMFG), full supporter of E.B.B.G.A.S.F., is gorgeous and loves pie. What's not to love? A lot of people think I'm weird and awkward, but that's who I am, too! If you don't like it, you can leave, kthx.
I could go on and on about how awesome she is, but it speaks for itself. She's cool and I find it refreshing to know that there's another nerd out there not afraid to be the way she is.
What I do know is that REB is the absolute best. He knows how incredibly nerdy I am about some things, just like Olivia, and I just love that he gets how nerdy I am. Hell, I get how nerdy he is. I got him an autographed photo of his two favorite characters from Battlestar. We are nerds at heart and in love. It's a perfect fit.

- How to Use a Pussy Pump
- List of 6 Best Pussy Pumps
- 1. Doc Johnson Pussy Pump Pink Vaginal Pump
- Conclusion
Although the pussy pump might not be among the most famous sex toys, then it certainly is a hit with all the women. Within the following guide, we answer the question of how to get the best pussy pump for you or your second half.
What Is A Pussy Pump?
A pussy pump has been placed over the entry of the vagina and above the clitoris to get the largest possible amount of stimulation. When the air is pumped from this pump the pussy muscles contract and it's often regarded as a miniature work out for your clitoris.
What Can A Pussy Pump Do?
Many pussy pumps produce a suction which subsequently creates the genital region engorged, quite sensitive, and may even result in an orgasm.
Therefore three things are obtained when you utilize one:
- The clitoris gets sensitive which lead into the most effective clit orgasms.
- Visual: you receive engorged, swollen vagina and a few people adore the appearance of this.
- Enhanced sexual encounter — libido.
Pussy pumps can also be used for medical purposes to treat female sexual issues associated with anorgasmia.
From the medical perspective, they also help to boost the blood flow in genitals– that is both healthful and pleasing.
How to Use a Pussy Pump
- Lubricate the outside edge of this pussy pump employing a water-based lube — that can help to make an air-tight seal.
- Make sure that the quick-release valve, situated under the pump bulb, is shut and just allowing air out, not in.
- Press the pussy pump chamber against the desirable place (some pumps match over the whole vulva while others are made for only the clit) making certain you attain a firm seal.
- Keeping one hand on the pump chamber, squeeze the pump bulb until you feel suction.
- Publish the bulb and inspect the seal from the skin. The pump chamber ought to be kept in position via suction just and it shouldn't come off from your skin unless especially pulled. When it's not sealed from the skin, then continue to maintain it in position and maintain pumping!
- Continue squeezing and releasing the bulb of this pussy pump till you're able to feel and watch your labia swelling at the room. It'll feel a little odd in the beginning, but it ought not to feel debilitating.
- As soon as your skin is pushing from the chamber, you'll find it tough to pump some farther — that is the greatest you'll have the ability to pump into. Press the fast release valve under the bulb and permit air to enter the chamber.
- Gently remove the pussy pump and revel in the beautifully swollen, excitingly engorged appearance and incredible texture to a clitoris and vulva!

Book Review: City of Savages, Lee Kelly (2015)May 4th, 2015 11:06 am by mad mags
A Wild Ride through Post-Apocalyptic Manhattan
(Full disclosure: I received a free copy of this book for review from the publisher. Trigger warning for rape and violence.)
Somehow this ruthless city is home to my sister. Where for me, it will never, ever be more than a cage.
If no one's out there, then what's keeping us in?
Sisters Skyler and Phoenix Miller were born and raised in Manhattan; from the wild forests of Central Park to the gleaming glass apartments in Battery Park, the island is the only home they've ever known windows 10 herunterladen firefox. But their home is also their prison. Along with several hundred fellow survivors, Sky and Phee are prisoners of war: World War III, in which the Red Allies (China, North Korea, and Russia) simultaneously attacked New York City, Washington, D.C., Los Angeles, and San Francisco, with the ultimate goal of conquering the United States. That was more than sixteen years ago, in March of 2016, and still the war rages on.
When Manhattan was first attacked, a lucky few survivors found safety in the subway tunnels – including their mother, Sarah. But as the months dragged on and supplies dwindled, many of the refugees were forced to the surface, to beg the Red Allies for mercy. Though most of the men were shot on sight, the women and children were imprisoned in cages once meant for lions and tigers: the Central Park Zoo, now transformed into an internment camp herunterladen.
Eventually a leader emerged in the form of Rolladin, who persuaded their captors to move them to the relative comfort of the Carlyle Hotel. As the war dragged on and the soldiers combed the wreckage of NYC for "holdouts" – tunnel feeders and raiders – the POW camp grew. Eventually, when the Red Allies withdrew to follow the war west, Rolladin and her "whorelords" – warlords recruited from the prison population – were left in charge, to manage this "oasis in the middle of a war zone." While no doubt an improvement over enemy occupation, Rolladin is an unyielding and oftentimes cruel warden, seemingly drunk on power adobe reader kostenlos herunterladen vollversion. And yet she has a strange and inexplicable affinity for the Miller family.
The story is told from the alternating perspectives of Sky and Phee: Sky, the older, more delicate and bookish sister, who dreams of worlds far away; and Phee, an impulsive, tough-as-nails scrapper who cannot imagine living anywhere else. When the Camp's relative calm is disrupted by the arrival of four mysterious strangers, the sisters must work together to uncover the truth about the island's past, present, and future – a truth that's tangled up in their mother's past, which she keeps so closely guarded. (Luckily, Sky discovers and steals her journal, so we're blessed with Sarah's voice as well!)
But that's only the first half of the story frei downloaden deutsche zeitschriften. Their journey carries them all over the island; they're pursued on the surface by Rolladin and her warlords, and hunted through the tunnels by cannibals gone mad with hunger and darkness; crushed under one dictator's thumb, only to find themselves in the clutches of a creepy cult leader. Just when they – and we – think it can't get any worse, it does. It's a wild ride with a true Godzilla vs. Mothra ending. (As in SPN episode 4.10:
DEAN: I got to hand it to you, Sammy. Bringing them all together all at once — angels and demons. It was a damn good plan.
SAM: Yeah, well, when you got Godzilla and Mothra on your ass, best to get out of their way and let them fight.)
City of Savages has more of a YA feel than I expected (given the brutal title and description), but that's not a bad thing html editor phase 126.96.36.199 kostenlos download. I loved the sibling rivalry between Sky and Phee, two very different young women who share an unbreakable bond despite their dissimilarities; as the oldest of four kids, I can definitely relate. Delicate, inquisitive, and classically beautiful, in the world Before, Sky might have been a model or a writer – whereas Phee, with her big mouth and bigger fists, was all but made for this new, savage world. The juxtaposition of these opposing traits – old vs. new, then vs. now – in siblings so close they're practically two halves of a whole is intriguing; I can't help but wonder where each girl might be had WWIII somehow been avoided herunterladen.
But. Once Kelly adds Ryder to the equation, things get a little annoying. It's not so much the sisters competing over a guy that bothers me – but when you're prioritizing romance over escape from a psychopath who murders and rapes in the name of G-O-D, then yeah. That's a little over the top ridiculous.
Though there doesn't seem to be much racial diversity in City of Savages, there's a marvelous plot line wherein the girls' mom, Sarah, falls in love with her husband's sister, Mary. The two were taking Sky to the zoo when the war broke out; subsequently, they were trapped underground for seven months, during which time Mary cared for this little family. While she never knew her father, Sky is outraged on his behalf upon reading about the affair in Sarah's journal; Phee, on the other hand, adopts a more pragmatic approach – basically, it's not cheating if you think he's dead. This might be the only time I took Phee's side in the whole book.
(To quote one of my status updates: Phee's a bit of a shit, isn't she? Older sister talking.)
Kelly's world building is wonderful as well: from the farms in Central Park to the tiny wilderness that blossoms along the Hudson River to the use of the zoo as an internment camp/prison, she paints a world rich and vivid with detail. While I was able to correctly guess at some of the plot twists (Sarah + Mary; The Standard), others came as a complete shock (the exact nature of the relationship between Rolladin and the Millers; I thought that Phee might be Rolladin's daughter, perhaps with Tom).
Some of the language rubbed me the wrong way, though. For example, the word "bully" pops up with weird frequency, usually to describe behavior that's far beyond bullying: rape, torture, war crimes.
And the story wraps up with a page from Sarah's journal, now in Sky and Phee's possession licitly: "I will give them a chance at a real life in this city that's been raped and left for dead." Nope. No. No thank you. Just no.
A city is an insentient object – a collection of bricks and concrete and cable wires and trees – and as such cannot be "raped." Its citizens can be raped, sure; and many of them were, including Sarah. (Many, but not all, which also disqualifies the use of "city" as shorthand for every person therein.) But let's not minimize their experiences by misusing the term in such a way that promotes rape culture, okay?
Things that are rape: Rape.
Things that are not rape: War. Bombing. Internment. Cannibalism. Murder. Logging. Habitat loss. Pollution. Taxes. Losing in a video game. Getting an F on a test. Someone bogarting your weed. You get the idea.
(This review is also available on Amazon, Library Thing, and Goodreads. Please click through and vote it helpful if you're so inclined!)
Comments (May contain spoilers!)
Diversity: While Manhattan is invaded by Chinese, North Korean, and Russian forces, we rarely see the soldiers – save for the kindly Xu, who escorted Sarah and her toddlers back to Central Park in the early days of the occupation. There really doesn't appear to be much racial diversity here. However, there's a marvelous plot line wherein Sarah falls in love with her sister-in-law Mary during their seven-month stand-off in the subway tunnels in the immediate aftermath of the attacks. I won't say more because spoilers, but their relationship plays a large role in events to come.

Reported crime in Ottawa was up 13 per cent in 2018, according to a new annual report released by the Ottawa Police Service.
There were 3,926 criminal offences per 100,000 residents, not including driving-related charges, up from 3,524 in 2017.
But Ottawa police are saying there is no reason to be alarmed by the increase, and that it can be partly attributed to changes in how crimes are reported.
"Despite the recent increases, the severity and rate of crime in Ottawa remains well below results from a decade ago, and significantly below the national average," says a police release accompanying the new report.
"Based on the information provided when reports are received," the release says, some incidents where information or witnesses are scant are now "captured as a criminal offence as opposed to a call for service."
In other words, police say that because of changes in how crimes are reported, incidents investigated by police are more likely than before to be classified as criminal offences early on.
Police say these sorts of early reports would previously have only been classified as "disturbances," which they say is less nuanced and does not fall under the criminal code.
The report also says the violent crime rate went up eight per cent, while the non-violent crime rate went up 12 per cent.
The "number of violations resulting in death" — which includes murder, manslaughter, and other such offences — held at 17, the same as the previous year.
The cost of policing the city also went up four per cent, from $289.2 million to $300.5 million.

Why Fur Fashion Makes the Best Holiday Gift
It's a well known fact that fur has a lackluster reputation within the fashion world. An unfortunate amount of people refuse to indulge in it, citing ethics and/or animal cruelty as their main concerns for boycotting such amazing pieces of apparel. However, if you're on this blog, there's a good chance you either don't believe the hype or—at the very least—are the slightest bit curious about real fur accessories for one reason or another. No matter your reasoning, you should know you've found one of the best possible sources of information on fur fashion! Fur accessories are an amazing gift option for a loved one, whether they love fur fashion or just fashion in general. Here are a few reasons why!
It's the Perfect Winter Gift
Winter can be one of the most unpleasant seasons of the year. A durable, warm winter coat can make the season easier to tolerate—and the warmest types of coats you'll be able to find in today's market will typically be made from fur. Since the beginning of civilization, people have relied on fur apparel to protect themselves from the cold. In fact, that's how today's vintage fur coats originally came into being. By gifting your loved one a fur coat, you guarantee them the ability to protect themselves from the cold, while looking stylish in the process!
It's A "Green" Gift
If you and/or your loved one are the environmentally conscious sort, you may hesitate to give gifts because of the potential waste of resources. You don't have to worry about this very valid concern when you choose to give real fur accessories. Fur apparel is pulled only from animal species with plentiful populations. This means the amount of minks, rabbits and various other animals will not be jeopardized by the fur industry; they are constantly replenishing their population both naturally and with the help of fur farms. Fur fashion provides you with an easy gift choice as well as peace of mind.
You'll Be Giving Small Businesses a Hand
As popular as fur fashion was and is, the amount of people involved in its creation is much smaller than you may think. Each piece of fur apparel is typically made in a painstaking process undertaken by several small groups of individuals: caretakers who raise animals for their pelts, harvesters who collect the pelts, organizations who select only the highest quality pelts and auction them to furriers and, of course, those who craft the fur apparel itself.
None of these workers would thrive without the support of fur enthusiasts like you and/or your loved one. Thanks to your investment, you're able to fuel an important livelihood and millenia-old industry.
If you're on the lookout for an excellent fur gift for someone you love, our team at Morris Kaye Furs in Dallas and San Antonio would be happy to help you! Get in touch with us today to sample our inventory and learn more about our one of a kind service.

Back in the day, there was no Fortnite, there was no social media, and we had to entertain ourselves in the great outdoors. Games consoles were once extremely primitive and the home game console boom began in the mid-80s with 8-bit consoles like the NES and original Sega Master System.
There were games consoles, computer games and arcade games way before the mid-80s, but this bought the power of gaming into so many homes and really marks a turning point for the video game industry as a whole.
With the recent trend of rebooting old games consoles and video games so veteran gamers can take a walk down memory lane, Climadoor (or should we say Nostalgio) made these really cool '8-bit video games' that imagine classic childhood playground pastimes as cartridges that would go in your retro console.
Childhood Pastimes Reimagined as 8-Bit Retro Video Games
Conkers Kid – Playground Revenge II
An absolute staple of the British school playground, Conkers is where kings and queens were made. Conkers is a game whereby you gather the seeds of a chestnut tree, find the biggest or sharpest one and attach a piece of string to it. You then do battle with others, in the form of hitting another person's conker as hard as you can to try and smash it.
Schools have clamped down pretty hard on Conkers, either forcing contestants to wear protective goggles or banning it all together. But with Conkers Kid, Nostalgio's 8-bit game, you can play to your heart's content. Become the playground champion by toppling the evil bully!
Jump Rope Master
The original test of balance, agility, timing and fitness. Jump rope is a universal playground game and no one will ever know what is so satisfying and fun about jumping over a moving rope. The thing is, in real life, once you mastered the timing of the jump, it just became a test of physical endurance and got a bit same-y.
In Jump Rope Master, you are an agility ninja who has to dodge flameballs and flame throwers whilst jumping the rope. Everything is more fun with ninjas and fire.
Mega Kerby – Sidewalk III
A vintage childhood pastime, now with an added injection of danger. Kerby is so simple, but so good. Kerby is a two-player game. You stand on opposite sides of a road, facing each other and with a bouncy ball, like a football or basketball, you take turns in throwing the ball at the kerb. The aim is to get it to bounce off the kerb and to catch it on the rebound. You could play for points or you could simply play until you got bored.
In Mega Kerby – Sidewalk III, you have to dodge pedestrians, cyclists and cars whilst aiming for the kerb, which you would sometimes have to do in real life. A frantic game of skill and timing, this is a true classic.
Musical Chairs in Space 2020
A guaranteed feature of every children's birthday party, Musical Chairs is where s*** got real. If you haven't played before, the premise is simple. Say you have a group of twenty people, nineteen chairs are put out and everyone must walk in a circle around the chairs. Music is played and every time the music stops, you must scramble for a chair and sit on it. Why we were forced to play this at every party, we don't know. Everyone would cheat, someone would always end up crying and whoever's birthday it was would generally be allowed to advance to at least the quarter-finals no matter what.
Musical Chairs in Space is different. Nostalgio's take on the game has you fighting for a seat in space. What's at stake? Only the entire fate of the galaxy. Stay alert, be quick, float really obviously by a chair because literally everyone cheats at this game, your entire life depends on it.
Pat-A-Cake Wars
Pat-A-Cake was an exercise in dexterity and rhythm. It involves memorising a weird sequence of hand claps with a partner, often accompanied by a song to help you keep pace. On the playground, it was simply a satisfying thing to do and if you could keep it going long enough, you felt like you had transcended the minds of mere mortals.
In Pat-A-Cake Wars, you must use this dexterity to bake a cake as quickly as possible. Watch out for that evil baker, though!
Pooh Sticks Racer
From the legendary stories of Winnie the Pooh, any child that went for a walk in the countryside has played this game. All you need is a bridge over running water, and some sticks. You pick your stick, drop them on one side of the bridge (the direction the water is running from), run to the other side and see which stick comes out first. It was so simple, but so thrilling.
In Pooh Sticks Racer, you must navigate tumultuous rapids. Dodge rocks, waves and swirly-whirlies to win the ultimate race.
Tag, it, tiggy, tick, smee, cops and robbers, British bulldog – these are all variants of the original playground staple: Tag. Depending on what region they hail from, people will either agree or vehemently disagree that it's called tag but it's called tag. It stands for 'touch and go' and is another almost insultingly simple game. One person is the tagger and you must run away from the tagger, if they touch you, you are now the tagger. Simples.
Tag-Man is Nostalgio's take on the game. It's Pac-Man meets Tag. Power-ups, chasers, boosts, Tag has never been so fun.

David Warsh does a great job tracing his career and the scandal over his oil deal in Kurdistan.
Galbraith also helped push corruption in Afghanistan into the headlines in this country. Thus, he helped create the current impasse on Gen. Stanley A. McChrystal's recommendations.
Inside the beltway, the deciders might want to downplay the issue because what's a little corruption among the right kind of people. (Hey, he's John Kenneth Galbraith's son, not some hick like Sarah Palin).
Warsh, though, shows why these peccadilloes have big consequences:
Galbraith's enthusiasm for Kurdish independence always undermined Bash administration war aims in Iraq – there's nothing new about that. But the the disclosure of his financial involvement in Kurdish affairs muddies the issue because it impairs American credibility in Iraq. Faisal Amin al-Istrabadi, one of the architects of the law that governed Iraq after the US ceded control in 2004, told the Times reporters, "The idea that an oil company was participating in the drafting of the Iraqi Constitution leaves me speechless."
Of course, the same thing happened with Russia during the 1990s (Warsh discussed that in his article). American interests took a hit while insiders tried to get rich.
Worst of all, the press largely ignored the story. (Lawrence Summers is one of the righteous DC elect you see). How bad is Washington's memory?
Deputy Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers provided some measure of cover for his old friend Shleifer when the Harvard scandal broke in 1997. After becoming president of Harvard University, in 2001, he again shielded Shleifer from the consequences of an ultimately successful Justice Department law suit. And as chief economic strategist for the Obama administration, he enlisted Nancy Zimmerman, Shleifer's wife and a successful hedge fund operator, in a "kitchen cabinet" of informal advisers, according to a Times dispatch earlier this year. The story of Harvard's Russia scandal is barely known outside a limited circle of specialists in foreign aid.
Yes, by all means. Let's have more stories about Carrie Prejean and her sex tapes. Let's set 11 journalists to work "fact checking" a book by a former VP candidate. Clearly there are no real stories to cover in Washington.

Devils forward Taylor Hall underwent arthroscopic surgery on his left knee, a person with knowledge of the procedure confirmed to NJ Advance Media.
The Devils said Hall will begin rehab immediately, and he will be evaluate in the coming weeks to determine a return date. The team has 18 games left during 2018-19.
The injury has limited him to just 33 games this season. Hall missed two games in mid-December before returning for four more games, but he last appeared in a game on Dec. 23. Hall has been working out and rehabbing in New Jersey in an effort to avoid surgery since last playing.
During his rehab, Hall has intermittently skated on his own, but he was usually restricted to off-ice work. The Devils never gave any indication he was close to making the next step to on-ice activities with teammates.
Buy Devils gear: Fanatics.com, NHL.com, Lids, Dick's Sporting Goods
The surgery marked the second time in three seasons with the Devils that Hall had surgery on his left knee. He underwent a procedure to repair a torn meniscus on Nov. 16, 2016.
He missed only eight games following that procedure, returning to the lineup on Dec. 1, 2016.
if Hall has another quick turnaround, there's always the possibility he plays during the final five weeks of this season.
But given his already lengthy absence and the seemingly extra precautions the Devils have taken to make sure Hall is 100 percent healthy when he returns to the lineup, there is a chance he does not return to the lineup this season.
If Hall doesn't play again this season, his attention will turn to the summer, where he will be eligible to sign a contract extension for up to eight years with the Devils after July 1. If he does not sign an extension, he will enter the final year of his contract in 2019-20 before potentially becoming an unrestricted free agent on July 1, 2020.

I'm sure this thread is dead, and this is a dumb question, but I really want to get the renders for the battle stage to use for an OBS overlay. I've looked everywhere, and I ended up here but I still don't know how to get this specific PNG. I just want the stage, curtains, pretty much just the battle arena for the overlay. Any help or advice would be appreciated. I'm desperate lol...

Paper Mario TTYD HD Texture Pack v1.9 (April 1st, 2020)
you would probably be better off taking a screenshot at a very high resolution in dolphin. otherwise all environment textures are simply dumped in the environment folder

I can't run Dolphin on this laptop I'm more than sure, and I went ahead and downloaded all the textures from the HD pack and unzipped them on my PC. I've went through environment a few times, and even the rest of the folders, and yet I just simply don't see the stage or in battle curtains. Literally everything else from the backgrounds to the stage props, but neither those two PNGs. Even the golden mushroom that's on the curtains and even the ones from the opening. I'm beginning to thing that it must use multiple textures for it or something, I really didn't think it would be this hard to make this Paper Mario Overlay for my stream LOL
EDIT: I'm slowly realizing how many different floors each area has when you battle. I've identified the stage supports and the back if the chairs, but its so hard to tell which assets are which out of context haha.
EDIT 2: Okay I'm going out on a limb and saying that maybe the curtains are not redone in the texture pack. I'm looking at footage from someone playing the Dolphin HD pack and the textures all look like what's in the pact, all except the curtains. Even in the HD version, they are textured as though it's made from fabric and there simply is not texture like that in this pack. They have the flower curtains from the hooktail battle, but not this red star checkered fabric curtain. I'm sorry for pouring, this has become my white whale apparently.
dump the textures yourself, it takes like 2 minutes
if there aren't textures, take a screenshot like the other person told you
if you don't want to do either of those things, go use a screenshot on google or something
idk if anyone still checks this thread, but I whipped up some more HD textures if you wanna add them to the pack.
They're mostly Zess T. recipes, with a few misc. textures thrown in: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1ibVW7XdjyTlqN0aHuE6wLJAyIhRrgKa9
Apologies for the double-post, but I made some more textures. Mostly misc. environmental stuff.
You can download them here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1eFXK3sRaUAAQh_Ti-D90YUiq3Jfgkf-M

Thanks, I've finished 82 retextured png files to help out as well, that is, if you'd like the help. I'm currently working Hi-Res Textures on Paper Mario for N64. Still trying to get some help. Anyways, I've been working on textures to make this pack complete.
Just Finished all of Prince Mush's Textures of which you can download below. Iv'e put a lot of care into him, enjoy!

Jim: The Winner
My older brother, so sturdy and proud in youth, now lies small and feeble in the antiseptic hospice bed, an IV relentlessly dripping saline and morphine into his blue, withered veins. I listen to his final battle against the cancer in every ragged breath.
"Andy," he rasps weakly, beckoning with a bony finger.
I lean close. "I'm here, Simon."
"One. Last. Thing." His voice is no more than a quavering whisper.
I hold one gaunt hand while his other reaches toward me. "What is it, Simon?"
A shaking fingertip gently touches my tear-streaked cheek and he painfully gasps, "Tag. You're…"

Tanya: Untitled
He lay slumped in the bushes in front of me, his breath slowing, eyes flickering from side to side in a belated panic. One of his lungs was collapsed, and I could hear it wheeze through the ragged gash in his chest.
I could call for the police and an ambulance. I knew CPR. I could keep him alive long enough for the paramedics to reach him.
I grabbed him and laid him flat on the ground. His pulse was slow, but he was alive. Good. I removed his shirt, and slowly began carving the word "pedophile" into his stomach.

AF 510 Accuracy of Completion
The ASCB Safety Assurance Officer recently visited the Army Incident Notification Cell (AINC) – part of the newly formed Army Safety Centre at Army HQ (with CESO(A) absorbed within) – and the SO2 AINC wished to convey a short reminder about the importance of `510` accident reporting from a sports perspective. This gets a mention on your Self Assessments (the early stages of 1st LoD Assurance from your perspective) and on my Part 2 Visits, but equally important to reinforce from an Army HQ perspective as well. Below is the short summary and I would ask that you just remind and revise across all of your organisers and competitors of the importance of accuracy in completion.
Thank you for taking the time to come to the ASC and discuss and listen to issues we find with the 510s being reported.
• Firstly I would like to say we want to continue to encourage ALL Army personnel to report ALL incidents which occur, no matter how minor.
• Secondly, it is important for the people in the sports world who are reporting to distinguish between activities that are 'AT' and the ones that are 'sport' . This may seem trivial to them, but it allows a much 'cleaner' and informative data set with which to work. This could lead to valuable lessons within the Army Safety space.
• I would also like to convey that we want to build a positive attitude towards incident reporting. It is both beneficial for the individual as well as for the organisation that we get as many incidents as possible reported.
• We would also appreciate if all reports came in excel rather than in PDF format although this is mostly the case.
ACSO 3216 (THE ARMY'S SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM – NEW ISSUE APRIL 2019) gives detailed information about other areas of the AINC/DAIB reporting processes – specifically Ch 10 – and I would encourage all of you to take time to read and remind.
Many thanks.

I am a crafter, quilter, mother, wife, and child of God. Creating things keeps me sane in a very crazy world. I dabble in a little bit of everything; a jack of all trades, master of……some. 🙂 I like to tear things apart and create something new and beautiful, like God does with me. 2 Corinthians 5:17 "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!" and Revelation 21:5 "He who was seated on the throne said, "I am making everything new!" Then he said, "Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true."
7 thoughts on "About Me"
I just finished a quilt from your "free patriotic quilt" pattern and absolutely love it! It is the first quilt I've hung on the wall display area in our new home, and I'd love to send you a picture, but I can't figure out how. I'd also like to post a pic of it to some quilt groups I belong to on facebook, but I'd like to credit you for the pattern. How do I do that? Thanks so much for this lovely pattern!

Separation Coaching
Do you wonder deep down whether your relationship is coming to an end? Do you sometimes feel you are just going through the motions?
Do you tell yourself some days:-
Who has the perfect marriage?
Is it really that bad?
I know they are a good person.
It is not like they do not work and provide for our family.
They are not violent or even abusive.
They are not cheating on me.
Better the devil you know.
Then again on other days:-
I am not in love with them anymore.
I do not want them anywhere near me, let alone have sex.
We have nothing in common.
They really bore me.
I know I could do better.
I am only here out of habit and it is far too scary to leave.
I do not want to hurt them.
Is this really the rest of my life?
So it goes round and round and you find yourself stuck in a loop, often for years. You find yourself becoming more and more resentful as time moves on.
So!!!! How do you break this cycle?
Many clients have told me one day they just wake up and think ''''''''' STOP '''''''''''
It can be likened to jumping off a cliff into the unknown, but we all need someone to help break our fall.
Before you take the decision to dive off the cliff which can often be the point of no return, are you absolutely sure you have taken all the steps you can to save the relationship?
What are the main issues involved? Does the good outweigh the bad?
Have you sat down and really talked to each other?
Does your other half know how you really feel and if not is that part of the problem?
Are either of you prepared to compromise? Is there any middle ground?
When you are being totally honest with yourself, is there any way you are being unreasonable or unrealistic?
Choose your words carefully, once out of your mouth they cannot be taken back.
Consider going to Couple Coaching.
However if you know you have reached the point where there is nothing left then may be separation is your only option.
This can be extremely worrying, and you can often feel very lonely and frightened which may impair your ability to act and think clearly. I know personally how this feels having been through it myself. You cannot see the wood for the trees but I promise you it does get better.
Many people go to friends and family for advice at this difficult time but often their well intentioned concern for your welfare can be conflicting leaving you even more confused.. You feel totally exhausted and have no idea where to turn or what to do next. You just want it to stop!
At this stage for some going to see a Coach can be their lifeline. To have someone who is totally removed from the situation, that you can trust enough to say whatever comes to mind unfiltered, without judgement, and in total confidence can be totally liberating. You get the opportunity to unpack what is really going on and look at all the different perspectives available to you.
I will support you throughout this painful process and help you create your action plan enabling you to move forward.
I offer a free thirty minute phone consultation to find out where you are at the present time and what you need to effectively move your life forward formulating a plan for your future. This also gives both parties the opportunity to see if we fit? As we will be working so closely together respect and trust is imperative for the process to work effectively.
My fees are £75.00 per hour.
However for a block booking of six or more sessions I offer a 10% discount.
After Divorce Coaching
During the divorce process you are likely to be under a level of emotional pressure you have never experienced before. Divorce is not unlike bereavement and you should expect your feelings to be all over the place.
You may get locked into whose fault is it? Where did I go wrong? How could he/she do that to me. One of you may even be in denial and bury their head in the sand.
Each persons experience is unique. Let yourself grieve it's normal to feel shock when a relationship ends, and it can take time for the reality to settle in. You will have good days and bad days give yourself time.
You will not be very rational at this difficult time and your emotions will probably run wild ranging from anger, guilt, frustration, feeling lost, confused, overwhelmed and will I ever stop crying. You need to accept your decisions may be impaired by these emotions.
The more you open up with me and unpack your emotions, the more we can take a look at all the different perspectives available to you.
When you can accept what has happened, the easier it will be to let it go and move forward to creating your new life. Now it's time to reclaim yourself. Who are you? What's important to you? What are your talents and gifts? How do you want to spend the rest of your life?
Let go of negative thoughts, try to keep a level head with your Ex it will increase your self-confidence. The more positive you are on the outside, the more positive you will feel on the inside too. We will work together to brainstorm the practical aspects of your divorce helping you realise you can come out of the fog into the sunlight and look forward to a new future.
