As a leader, attaining a focused mind is paramount to achieving success, as without knowing where you want to go, it becomes so much more difficult to know which steps you need to take.
Gaining simplicity and direction on your ultimate destination is actually very easy when you apply the wisdom principles I have presented below, in the following 3 segments.
- Plan Your Day Before It Begins
- How To Easily Make The Law Of Attraction Work For You
- Begin With The End In Mind
Plan Your Day Before It Begins
Before beginning each day, as soon as you wake up, sit up for a few minutes with your eyes closed and visualise exactly how you wish the day to proceed.
Be extremely clear on what you want to accomplish and what specific tasks you need to undertake. Visualise the phone calls you need to make, visualise the emails you need to write, visualise the successful completion of every single task for the day.
Fast forward your thoughts to the end of the day, and visualise what you have achieved. Live and feel the visualisation like it has already happened.
Only when you are happy with the outcome for the day, should you stop meditating and then wake up and actually implement for real what you already accomplished in your mind.
You will be amazed how fast you achieve your daily goals by doing the above.
Always start with the End In Mind.
The Law Of Attraction
Recently, someone asked me to explain the "Law of Attraction" in a simple coherent manner, from which they could fully understand how this particular law could apply to themselves.
My response was as follows:
If in life you walk like a champion, breathe like a champion, eat like a champion, drink like a champion, dream like a champion, work like a champion, think like a champion, love like a champion, feel like a champion, talk like a champion and read like a champion, what is the only thing in your life you can ever truly become?
The way we manifest and apply our thoughts in our minds, directly correlates to the way we experience the world on the outside.
Everything in life starts with a thought; what we think is what we become. In a nutshell, we attract what we internally project, and this, in essence, is the "Law of Attraction"
Begin With The End In Mind
There is a beautiful story in the ancient scriptures relating to gaining clarity of mind when starting your goals…
Dronacharya (the great warrior and guru to master bowman, Arjuna) had a very simple philosophy to winning all his major battles: "Archery is never learnt on the battlefield."
His principle dictated that the key to any success in life was in the preparation; where champions were made in training, and not in competition.
The foundations for Dronacharya's line of thinking were developed from his intense study of the yoga scriptures, where the rules for success were governed for all to follow.
Yogic wisdom begins any challenge by "keeping the end in mind."
Essentially, this concept believes that everything is created twice, once in the mind, and then in reality.
For example, in order for me to write this article, I first had to think about the subject area, and then decide which elements were to be added and which ones to be deleted.
Only once I had a clear mental picture of how I wanted this post to be completely constructed, did I begin to write.
Even at this stage of the article, I already know how long this page will be, and what paragraphs are still to come.
Another example would be an architect who builds a house. First, they must sit down and plan a series of drawings on how the structure is to be built.
Thoughts need to be transferred onto paper, and only once the blueprint for a completed home is fully documented, can the actual building of the home begin. Everything begins in the mind.
The success of any given project can be directly attributed to the thought processes in the mind before a single task is undertaken.
During the great Mahabharata war, Krishna and his army of righteous soldiers were significantly outnumbered, in terms of both personal and fighting resources.
In reality, Krishna should have been defeated with relative ease, but he skilfully managed to overcome defeat by using the yogic principle of "keeping the end in mind."
In analysing the battle scenario beforehand, Krishna had already mentally thought out how his opponents would attack, how his own army should defend and how his enemies would subsequently respond.
He had meticulously planned and prepared the entire battle in his mind even before a single arrow had been released.
His attention to detail during the mental planning stages ensured Krishna was fully aware of the outcome of the war from the very beginning, and thus, was able to overcome this massive challenge.
We too can learn from the great masters from the past, by applying this very simple yet effective principle in our everyday lives. Each of us has our own journey in life, with our own set of desires and obligations to fulfil.
Whether your dreams are to get married this year, become a successful business owner, focus on your spiritual growth etc, any challenge must begin by clearly thinking through your tasks and actions before taking your first steps.
The more focus and clarity you apply in your initial thoughts, the more likely you are to achieve your personal goals.
By the time Dronacharya had finished training Arjuna, his student had become the most feared warrior in the land. As he pulled back his bow, his only focus in life was centred around the tip of his arrow.
Arjuna would visualise his target had already been struck and mentally determined exactly what he needed to do, before releasing his arrow.
Thus, his target would already have been hit before he had even fired the arrow from his bow.
The great modern-day sage Sri Sri Ravi Shankar recently celebrated a huge 25th silver jubilee anniversary of his humanitarian organisation.
A massive global event was organised, where over 3 million people worldwide (including many heads of states and royalty) had come to visit and pay homage to the great guru.
The sheer scale and exuberance of the event had everybody spellbound, yet Sri Sri Ravi Shankar had foreseen this success 25 years earlier.
Having secured the mental vision of success in his mind right from the very beginning, every subsequent step was taken with clarity and focus to help achieve his goal.
The formula is simple, plan a task right through to completion in your mind, then actually deliver your thoughts into action.
Of course, life has its ups and downs, and very rarely will circumstances move exactly the way we want them to, but planning and action are both complementary to each other.
It may be required to rethink your plan from time to time and re-adjust your action steps, but even this new direction must only be taken once an outcome has been mentally pictured in your mind first.
Most failures in life occur not only due to a lack of planning, but a lack of extending a mental plan right through to project completion.
Begin with the end in mind, and you will greatly improve your chances of being a success in any given task you undertake. If this principle worked for Krishna, there's no reason it will not work for you.

Happy Birthday Tendulkar – The God Amongst Human !
Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar, known as SRT, is the greatest ever complete cricketer who had entered inside the oval-shaped yard. Being an extraordinary and gifted individual, during his nearly two-and-half decades-long career, Sachin surpassed and created many memorable records, which seem to be unbreakable. Started his international cricket career for India at the age sixteen Sachin became the youngest ever cricketer to debut for India at that time. Sachin got his Test Cap for India on 15th November 1989 against Pakistan and in that Pakistan tour of India, The Mumbaikar made his ODI debut as well on 18th December.
But, before that Sachin's name was echoing in the Domestic cricket of India as the Wonder Boy. Maintaining his reputation, young Sachin became the greatest sporting Icon for India as well as for Cricketing Universe. Arguably, he was the single most reason for BCCI to become the Cricketing Superpower. Kicking his cricket career off at the young age, Sachin shared the Indian dressing room with many legends and was also the one-fourth of the Iconic Fabulous Four beside Rahul Dravid, Sourav Ganguly, and VVS Laxman who ruled the Cricket World in their own way.
Born on 24th April 1973 in Middle-Class family of Mumbai, Sachin denied every block roads to realize his dream to play for India. In his Twenty-Four years of International Career, he earned many names like Little Master, Master Blaster, and Record Machine. Despite his five-feet five-inch frame, SRT ruled every part of the Cricketing World like his own yard and the Little Genius from India received many accolades for his heroic effort against the mightiest & fiercest bowler.
As time passed in its own way, Sachin Become the God of Cricket and the father figure for many past, present and future cricketers. The Great Tendulkar retired his cricket gears after playing his last Test against West India on 14th November 2013, however, he drew the conclusion to his limited-over cricket career on 18th March 2012 and coincidentally his last ODI match was against Pakistan. Making the way for new talents, Sachin played only one T20I for India before felt to bid adieu.
Despite his denial to play the shortest version of this game for India, Sachin marked his presence significantly in the IPL, as playing for the Mumbai Indians Franchise, Sachin became oldest ever Indian Player and Captain who registered a hundred in the history of Indian Premier League. In 2013 season, Sachin announced his retirement from IPL as well and since then he is playing the role of a Mentor for MI.
Like a true gentleman of the Gentlemen's game, Sachin always maintained his clean image and left his legacy which will be echoing through the ages. Known for his trademark shot – Straight Drive, Sachin was one of the fiercest and successful Openers of the ODI version in his time when first Fifteen Over fielding rule used to exist. He is reckoned as the Greatest Ever Complete Cricketer on the basis of his batting and bowling tally. Sachin amassed 200 International Wickets combing Test and ODI. And talking about ODI, Sachin once used to be known as The Man With The Golden Arm. He has two five-wicket halls what even Great Shane Warne failed to do so. And inside the oval-shaped grass field, Sachin had the safest hands too.
Late Great Aussie Legend Sir Donald Bradman praised Sachin many occasion and stated him the Best of all time. Sachin Played Six World Cups for India which is a remarkable individual record and till date, he is the only one to do so. In 2011, he was the part of ODI World Cup winning team of India, led by MS Dhoni.
Young or Old or even Oldest, whenever Sachin had walked in the middle with the Bat, he showed that to realize one's dream, one needs to be passionate about that sport. Nothing is bigger than dedication and love. The God amongst human did the unthinkable and unimaginable miracle in 2010. Sachin was the first cricketer in the World who made double hundred in ODI. And he is the one and the only man who has 100th International Hundred after his name. The Superman from India is the only cricketer who played 200 Test Matches.
As the Cricket God reached one more step closer to his first half-century of life, we are celebrating the remarkable career of The Great Tendulkar in his 46 Birthday.

Shot with the Panasonic 100-300 lens. I started with OIS disabled and got zero good images indoors at low ISO. No surprise there. Then I raised ISO a bit and switched OIS on. What a fricken difference :-)
Similar processing to the batch from the other day.
Panasonic G5 + 100-300mm 400iso f/5.6 1/60
Gorgeous. And one of the perpendicular blooms opened today, leaving only one left on the main stalk. The minor stalk continues to grow so this plant is really making up for its barren sibling.
And out the window I test the 600mm EFL of the 100-300 lens. This is not a crop … nice lens

At ones intensely joyous and surprisingly profound, Hasidistock chronicles the incredible journeys of some of the most beloved singers of contemporary Jewish music. Traveling from Jerusalem to New York and back, this exuberant documentary combines a rare insight into Orthodox communities with an infectious soundtrack featuring contemporary Jewish pop songs and ancient melodies. A poetry of love, longing, and affirmation radiates through the music, which captures some of the best sounds from Israel today. Directed by Asaf Galay and Avida Livny, and created by acclaimed Israeli producer Amitai Achiman, Hasidistock explores the status of music in Orthodox society, outlining the creative and economic influences at work around it, how its stars are born as well as the place of women in this intriguing musical scene. Irresistible, intoxicating joy is the emotion conveyed in every frame of this spectacular film that so clearly expresses the sustenance great music provides those who work in and love the genre.

The Outsider
The Story Of Harry Partch
A documentary by Darren Chesworth
Download (.torrent)
Format: avi | Size: 699mb
Runtime: 59mins
Source: daisysaint
"I was a sort of unofficial consultant for a very good documentary film on Partch, The Outsider: the story of Harry Partch, directed by Darren Chesworth, first screened on BBC4 in 2002. Good film treatment of Partch and his work being rare, this 58-min documentary deserves a wide circulation. It includes much footage of Partch, together with interviews with Philip Glass, Gavin Bryars, and most (though not all) of the main Partch heavies: Philip Blackburn, Betty Freeman, Danlee Mitchell, Stephen Pouliot, John Schneider, Jon Szanto and myself." Bob Gilmore, author Harry Partch: a biography
Harry Partch (1901-1974) holds a unique place in music from the United States. Partch rejected the tradition of equal temperament in Western music, and devoted his life to creating a system of just intonation he referred to as 'monophony,' which eventually grew to consist of 43 tones per octave (or gamut). To realize this music, he adapted and invented an array of new instruments and developed new systems of notation.
Partch was born in Oakland, California and grew up in the southwestern United States. The son of former Presbyterian missionaries to China, Partch's earliest musical experiences were the hymns and Chinese songs his mother performed and the abundance of musical instruments and records in his household. In his teenage years he began to write music and accompanied silent films on piano and organ. He moved to California in 1920 and spent many years studying music theory and history, primarily in public libraries; one of his most significant discoveries was Hermann von Helmholtz's On the Sensations of Tone (1863). Throughout the 1920's Partch experimented with modifying instruments and developed his treatise Exposition of Monophony.
In 1930, Partch destroyed almost all of his previous music and began to compose and perform his first 'monophonic' works. He went to England in 1934 on a Carnegie grant to research the history of tuning, and in the process met a number of writers and artists including Arnold Dolmetsch, Edmund Dulac, Ezra Pound, and William Butler Yeats. He returned to the US a year later in the midst of the Great Depression, and spent the next nine years as a hobo, travelling across the country by rail and recording his experiences, all the while continuing to compose and build new instruments. Partch's life as a transient ended when he received a Guggenheim fellowship in 1943; from 1944 to 1947 he was associated with the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
Back in California, Partch published his treatise Genesis of a Music in 1949, worked with composer Ben Johnston, and presented large-scale 'corporeal' performances with his Gate 5 Ensemble, also recording them on his Gate 5 record label. In the late 1950's, he produced two more large-scale works at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and collaborated on three films with Madeline Tourtelot. From 1962 he spent the rest of his life in California, with his final 'corporeal' work Delusion of the Fury (1965-1966) receiving its first and only performance in 1969. Practically all of Partch's music is available on the CRI and innova labels, and has also been recorded on Bridge, Nonesuch, and Tzadik. Art of the States

text: A lawyer for some of the people affected by the B.C. health ministry firings six years ago says his clients are "disappointed and frustrated" to have been waiting more than three months for compensation payments anticipated from the government. "Our clients have been at the centre of this horrible fiasco since September 2012," Gary Caroline said in an email. "They are eager to put this ordeal behind them." In 2012 the health ministry fired six employees directly and a seventh believed himself to have been constructively dismissed due to the employer's actions. It also cancelled or suspended several research contracts. The firings resulted in five wrongful dismissal and defamation lawsuits that were settled out of court, a union grievance process, some of the employees returning to work, and two major investigations. One of the fired employees, Roderick MacIsaac, committed suicide. In April 2017, the B.C. Ombudsperson's office released a report on the firings titled "Misfire: The 2012 Ministry of Health Employment Terminations and Related Matters." The report confirmed that the firings were unjustified and should never have happened. The provincial government hired a retired judge, Thomas Cromwell, to oversee the implementation of the Ombudsperson's recommendations, including revisiting the grievance settlements that had been made with some of the former employees. Caroline's company represents MacIsaac's sister Linda Kayfish, as well as Ramsay Hamdi, Bob Hart and Dave Scott who were fired in 2012. "They are understandably disappointed and frustrated by what they see as undue delay in the processing of Justice Cromwell's recommendations," Caroline said. "That said, they remain grateful for Justice Cromwell's considerable efforts and hopeful that Government will do what it takes to get this wrapped up quickly." Caroline said the government received Cromwell's recommendations regarding his firm's clients and other fired researchers in early June. "We've recently been informed, however, that Government does not intend to process the recommendations concerning our clients until it receives the recommendations from Justice Cromwell for all those claiming payments in connection with the Ministry of Health's firings and contract terminations," he said. "We have no idea how many people this involves." An emailed background statement from the finance ministry said the province is committed to addressing all of the recommendations from [the Ombudsperson's] report, but confirmed it is waiting while Cromwell works to identify all of the people he believes should be considered for compensation from the government. "This is a rigorous process that places justice, fairness and equitable compensation at the forefront," the statement said. "For this reason, settling on payment amounts cannot be treated on a first-come-first-serve basis." A spokesperson for Ombudsperson Jay Chalke's office said he is planning to release an update on the health firings in the next few weeks and declined to comment in the meantime.

Sounds ridiculous that Trump follows Sun Tzu's precepts? After all he doesn't read.
But remember "quickness is the essence of war", and Sun Tzu talked about behaving "without ascertainable shape" to confuse the enemy.
Well Trump acts quickly and uses chaos to confuse friend and foe. He loves chaos.
And he has a point. According to an FT columnist US military strategist John Boyd talked four decades ago about the use chaos
Create enough chaos and you could completely paralyse your foe. If the chaos made life uncomfortable for your own side, no matter.
Btw, Mad Dog Mattis, Trump's defence secretary used the call sign "Chaos" when he was a general. Obama sacked him from Central Command (responsible for US military involvement in the Middle East) because Obama had no balls. Mattis believed in responding to Iran's provocations. Obama preferred to swallow mullah's sperm.

DENNISON -- Trinity Hospital Twin City was recently named one of the Top 20 Critical Access Hospitals (CAHs) for quality in the country.
The Top 20 Critical Access Hospitals, including Trinity Hospital Twin City, scored best among the nation's 1,300 critical access hospitals in iVantage Health Analytics' Hospital Strength Index for quality. The rankings were recently announced by the National Rural Health Association (NRHA). An awards ceremony will be held during NRHA's Critical Access Hospital Conference in October in Kansas City, Mo.
Those hospitals that have been recognized as Top 20 Critical Access Hospital "best practice recipients" have achieved success in one of three key areas of performance:
Quality index: A rating of hospital performance based on the percentile rank across the five categories of Hospital Compare Process of Care measures.
Patient perspective index: A rating of hospital performance based on the percentile rank on two Hospital Compare HCAHPS measures ("Overall Rating" and "Highly Recommend)".
Financial stability index: A rating of hospital performance based on the percentile rank on a set of balance sheet and income statement financial ratios.
Overall: A rating based on the average rating among all pillars of strength.
The Top 20 Critical Access Hospital "winners" are those hospitals who have achieved success in the overall performance based on a composite rating of all ten of iVantage's indices of strength.
"We are proud of the efforts of our providers and staff who have contributed to our hospital achieving this designation," said Joe Mitchell, Trinity Hospital Twin City president. "Being recognized as a top critical access hospital for quality of care means our community can count on us to deliver the services they need now and in the future. This honor marks the third major recognition for us this year, and we will continue to strive to maintain the highest quality of care."
Trinity Hospital Twin City was named "Healthcare Organization of the Month" for January 2015 by the Studer Group, and the hospital earned accreditation by the Joint Commission in February. For more information about Trinity Hospital Twin City, visit www.trinitytwincity.org.

A crash along State Highway 2 as well as the weather are causing traffic delays around Tauranga this afternoon.
Emergency services have been called to a crash on SH2, near the Cambridge Road off-ramp.
A SunLive photographer at the scene says it is just down from the overbridge and St John, as well as fire and police, are in attendance.
"It is holding up one lane."
An email to the SunLive newsroom says police and fire were rushing along Takatimu Drive towards Bethlehem.
"Takatimu Drive is at a standstill to at least Cameron Road intersection."

Traffic along most of the main roads around Tauranga is currently at a stand-still according to live traffic on Google Maps.
Traffic heading towards Bethlehem from Katikati is currently backed up to Snodgrass Road. Traffic heading towards the Mount from the CBD is currently backed up to Chapel Street, and traffic heading towards The Lakes from the CBD is currently backed up to half way down the toll road.

I just read an interview with Donald Trump that was printed in Human Events. And I have to tell you, I am very impressed. I laughed to myself when he said he was going to run or thinking about running, but after reading his statements, I am going to look very closely at him.
He made statements such as Russia shouldn't be telling us how to run our military and how many missiles we can make, etc. He said we won the cold war, not them. True. He also said all those countries that owe us money should be made to pay us back and then we wouldn't have any economic problems. Said everyone in the world uses us and doesn't pay us one single cent for all our ships, planes, men, etc. True. Also said we need to bring our troops home and rebuild our military and then no one would cross us again. We would not have to fight anywhere, just let them know where we stand – and he would definitely do that – and no more trouble from anyone. I'm all for that one, too. He said OPEC should back down and quit acting like they own us. Agree with that.
He also said he cannot believe the pirates taking the huge ships with only a rowboat. Said it wouldn't take him long to get rid of all that. Hooray!
He also said he is definitely pro-life. And I am definitely for that one. Says health care plan must go and would be gone within a short time if he were elected. I am for that one, too.
He said China is using us every day and I agree with that. He said he would put a 25% tax on all imported goods from China and that would solve that problem. I agree with that one, too. Then many of our jobs would open up again and we would be seeing Made in U.S.A. on most of our goods we buy. Hooray!
He also said he knows how to work with the unions and has no problem with all that. If he can work out fair agreements with them, then I would be for that one, too. It's those unfair things I don't like. Not the unions themselves.
He said a lot of other things, too. But I was very impressed with most of his ideas and will be watching him over the next several months to see what happens. I think Huckabee makes a good Tv host. Palin has sort of fizzled. At one time, I thought they would make a great team, but do not see that anymore. I never have liked Romney and don't even know who Pawlenty is and don't care. Newt killed his chances years ago as far as I am concerned. And the younger people are not going to vote for him anyway. Don't know who the Congresswoman is that they keep trying to push, but am not impressed enough to find out either. That is not a good sign.
Donald Trump seems to have what it takes to attract the younger people and I think his conservative ideas will go a long way with the older crowd. So who knows. It may just be President Trump. And who can resist that hair anyway.

Review: Bird Box Is a Featherweight Thriller
Post-apocalyptic horror thriller Bird Box will undoubtedly get plenty of traction on Netflix thanks to the star power of its cast and the evergreen popularity of genre films, but it's an overstuffed concoction that isn't very scary or suspenseful, and it certainly doesn't fly as high as any of the truly great horror films released this year like A Quiet Place, Hereditary and Mandy.
Academy Award winner Sandra Bullock stars as expectant mother Malorie, who's forced to become a survivalist when supernatural forces decimate the world's population. One look at these creatures—who we never see—causes your eyes to glaze over and moisten, then you go insane and commit suicide, by whatever means is handy. After surviving a chaotic early set piece of carnage and destruction on a massive scale, Malorie and her unborn child make it to a house where several strangers who've also evaded the outbreak have found shelter. The house, with windows boarded up, is owned by an unhinged alcoholic (John Malkovich) who's at odds with Malorie from the outset. Trevante Rhodes (Moonlight), Danielle Macdonald (Patti Cake$), Lil Rel Howery (Get Out), Rosa Salazar (The Maze Runner), BD Wong (Jurassic World) and rapper Machine Gun Kelly play other temporary residents. Sarah Paulson plays Malorie's sister.
As you can see, the cast has no shortage of stars. These are fantastic actors, and they will all do great work again, but one of the film's critical flaws is its lack of focus; most of the players aren't given a chance to leave much of an impression. There are too many characters with too little to do. Jacki Weaver, who can have the screen presence of a volcano when given great material, is barely given an opportunity to even register here.
On paper, Bird Box looked like a sure thing. It has a talented cast, an Oscar-nominated screenwriter, and a celebrated director (Susanne Bier) who's done incredible work in her native Denmark (In a Better World) and on British TV (The Night Manager), but it never adds up. Prior to release, and based mostly just on the plot, comparisons have been made to A Quiet Place. This movie has much, much more in common with M. Night Shyamalan's The Happening. Adapted by Arrival scribe Eric Heisserer, Bird Box is based on the novel of the same name by Josh Malerman, which was released four years before A Quiet Place. Malerman has said he wrote the rough draft before The Happening was released in 2008.
It's not easy to make a horror picture with an entirely unseen killer work. The Happening certainly didn't pull it off. The original Final Destination did it rather well. The central conceit of Bird Box—the fact that these people have to shut the light out in order to survive—was a great opportunity for some spooky atmosphere, but the picture, attractively photographed by Salvatore Totino, looks like a well-produced network drama series, rarely eery.

There are interesting ideas in Bird Box, absolutely. They're underdeveloped and they get lost in the mix, though. A theme of how far parents will go to protect their children comes up here and there, but Bullock is far more committed to it than the script is. A Quiet Place explored that thematic territory so much better. That really was the only theme of John Krasinski's gloriously streamlined, airtight fright-fest—the only one it needed.
The storytelling of Bird Box is nonlinear, and a framing device is problematic because it more or less spoils the bulk of the film for us, before it even gets underway. A key sequence at the end of the second act is so unusual, improbable and physically awkward (you'll know it when you see it) that it inspires laughter. It almost seems like it's intended to be funny, but it's not clear if that's the case. Either way, this is the point of the story when tension should be the tautest, and it is deflated.
This strangely funny climactic scene is not the film's most critical flaw, though. That would be a plot thread that essentially states people with serious mental health problems are immune to the effects of the creatures—because, you know, they're already crazy. This is misjudged, not to mention potentially hurtful to people who struggle.
The best part of Bird Box is Malkovich. His performance is at times compelling, at times campy, and never boring—in a thriller that, frankly, is in need of more thrills. Rhodes' charms are luminous as always, but the character he's given is fairly one-note.
Many will see Bird Box, and it's likely many viewers will get a lot of enjoyment out of it—but as a thriller, it's tough to recommend.

Dear Jo'burg, if you want to know how to do markets right, then please, look further north to your sister Pretoria. The lovely city of Tshwane has a gem of a market called the Hazel Food Market, situated just off the Atterbury off-ramp on the N1 North (The same off-ramp you would use to get to Menlyn)
Having visited twice now, I was impressed both times. The sheer amount of different things available for you to eat/drink/buy are extraordinary. Also, people from Pretoria know how to enjoy a market. None of this "sit on a scratchy hay bale" kind of stuff. They come prepared, with table clothes and crockery or with picnic blankets and toys for the kids. They really make an experience out of it, and I was so jealous that I didn't bring my picnic blanket when I visited the night market in early November.
The market is open every Saturday from 8 til 2, and once a month in Summer, they have a night market from 5 til 9pm, which I think is much more enjoyable than a daytime market, as you don't have to contend with the sun beating down, trying to add you to the sunburn survivors list. The next night market is on 7 December, if you want to grab a table, go early, otherwise there is plenty of grass to sit on in the neighbouring garden centre. Hazel Food Market gets packed rather quickly, because it is so popular, but bear with the crowds, have some food and drink with your friends, and chill out for a bit.
I was invited to enjoy a VIP experience, and I got to sample a number of different things on offer. My favourite stand by far was the Amigos Mexican stand (@AmigosMarketMex on twitter). We got to try their Margaritas, which are made fresh while you wait, with lime, tequila and triple sec. They are poured in to a plastic cup (classy) rimmed with a cayenne pepper salt. I love love love Mexican anything, and I was chuffed as chips with the friendliness of the people behind the stand. My boyfriend was more impressed with the craft beer on offer, and he tried the Weiss beer from Draymans Brewery.
Dinner included lamb chops cooked on a big green egg, (which every second person asked about when we were chowing down, everyone clearly loves a good chop), uninspiring flatbread from the world's most surly store holder, the most delicious home made ice cream from Whisk Away Ice Cream (I had the macadamia one – it was the perfect way to end the meal) and deliciously moist cupcakes from Minkie's Cupcake Emporium.
We had vouchers to try out other food and drinks, but after eating our body weight in food, I couldn't bring myself to shove a pie down my *ahem* pie hole.
There are a number of different crafts, clothes, coffee, tea, savoury and sweet treat places, that you have to stop at to buy something to enjoy at home.

2 Kings 1:2 (KJV)
And Ahaziah fell down through a lattice in his upper chamber that was in Samaria, and was sick: and he sent messengers, and said unto them, Go, enquire of Baalzebub the god of Ekron whether I shall recover of this disease.
Baalzebub–lord of the flies
Our Father in heaven,
Israel is a secular nation, a people of loyalties divided between the God of Israel and false gods.
Lord, have mercy. Christ, have mercy. Lord, have mercy.
They place their religious weight on a man-made lattice of ideologies.
Lord, have mercy. Christ, have mercy. Lord, have mercy.
The engineers of this lattice have rejected the chief corner stone. You have laid in Zion a stone, a tested stone, a costly corner stone for the foundation, firmly placed. He who believes in it will not be disturbed.
It is marvelous in our eyes. The Rock, his work is perfect, for all his ways are justice. A God of faithfulness and without iniquity, just and upright is he. O Father, that the citizens of Joppa would not scoff at the Rock of their salvation!
Lord, have mercy. Christ, have mercy. Lord, have mercy.
Just as the Israelites were spared the swarms of flies in the land of Goshen, spare Your children in Joppa. Let their lives be precious in Your sight. Amen.

TES, 16.11.15, education has become dominated by a "morbid focus on qualifications" at the expense of students' and teachers' wellbeing, and the government is "letting down" a generation of young people, a leading independent school headteacher has claimed. HMC member Tricia Kelleher, Principal of leading independent the Stephen Perse Foundation is quoted.
Tricia Kelleher, principal at the Stephen Perse Foundation school in Cambridge, has warned that wellbeing "appears to be quite far down the government's agenda for schools".
In an article published on the school's website, she wrote: "While students are exhorted to pass ever-harder tests throughout their school life, teachers have become the whipping boy for every social ill, tasked with remedying the problems of everyday life, and, of course, ensuring that students achieve ever higher 'standards'."
"Education should be a joy," she wrote. "No longer. Education today appears to me to be about a morbid focus on qualifications and chasing ever higher places in the Pisa [Programme for International Student Assessment] league tables."
Ms Kelleher, whose school achieved the world's best International Baccalaureate results in 2013, said: "The direction of travel for education is about testing, testing, testing – a constant 'weighing of the pig'. What about the learning?
"I think the approach to education in this country is a disgrace. The government is letting down a generation of young people, sacrificed on the altar of standards."
She accused the government of having its "eyes firmly on the prize" of success in international league tables, which she said had led to neglect of "an education which encourages critical thinking, creativity and wellbeing".
Ms Kelleher said that schools should prioritise students' mental health. Students' wellbeing should be "the most important question facing the teachers each day", because if students were "emotionally in a good place" they would be well-placed to succeed at school, she argued.
The head said that schools should have strong teams of counsellors and nurses and should make time for mindfulness coaching.

Air Miles backs Yahoo! incentives
Yahoo! UK & Ireland has teamed up with Air Miles to launch an online loyalty programme called Yahoo! Points.
Yahoo! UK & Ireland has teamed up with Air Miles to launch an online loyalty programme called Yahoo! Points.
Under the scheme, launched today (Wednesday), visitors to Yahoo!'s shopping portal can collect one Yahoo! point for every &£1 spent at participating merchants, including retailers such as Debenhams, Carphone Warehouse and Waterstone's.
The Yahoo! points can then be converted to Air Miles, with ten points being equivalent to one Air Mile, and redeemed against a range of travel and leisure offers.
The two brands will work together to build customer loyalty and encourage return visits to Yahoo! Shopping.
Yahoo! is also talking to other organisations about joining the Yahoo! Points scheme but refused to reveal details of the negotiations.
Yahoo! European marketing director Catherine Taylor says: "Having Air Miles on board will significantly help the launch of Yahoo! Points. This is an opportunity to aid customer acquisition and retention, while also offering benefits to our users shopping on Yahoo.co.uk.
"This is an important step in strengthening our position as the UK's favourite shopping destination."
Air Miles marketing director Mary Thomas agrees there is a "really strong fit" between the two brands, adding: "Through our presence on Yahoo! Shopping we have significantly increased the number of ways Air Miles can be collected."
Air Miles already has partnerships with more than 100 high street outlets including Shell, NatWest and Sainsbury's.

The Australia-India Literatures International Forum held at the State Library of NSW from 4 – 6 September, as promised, generated 'lively discussions from passionate speakers'.
AILIF was officially opened by the Consul-General of India in Sydney, Mr Arun Kumar Goel and it brought together readers, writers, translators, editors, agents and publishers from Australia and the Indian subcontinent.
Mahmood Farooqui skilfully demonstrated Dastangoi, the revival of the art of telling Dastans or epic stories of adventure, magic and warfare by reciting or reading aloud. Sudesh Mishra and Vijay Mishra explored the creativity of Indians who were brought to sugar cane plantations in Fiji as indentured labour in the late nineteenth-century. Prabodh Parikh presented Art and the Writer: Rabindranath Tagore's 2000 paintings.
Seven panels over the three days discussed motivation to write; the struggle against injustice and inequality; the importance of local languages and dialects; alienation from land, animals and tradition; storytelling as protest; the important role that writers have in telling the truth; the power of myth and legend in writing and storytelling. Mamang Dai, Inez Baranay, Subhash Jaireth, Girish Karnad, Malcolm Knox, Manisha Jolie Amin, Roanna Gonsalves, Bem Le Hunte, Michelle de Kretser, Suneeta Peres da Costa, N S Madhavan, Uday Prakash, Christopher Raja, Aashish Kaul and Kunal Sharma spoke about crossing borders, a sense of place, dislocation, the home of the imagination, place as a construct, 'fossilised memory', 'rearranged identity', 'languages as legitimisation' and 'what is Indian anyway'?
Highlights included: gut-wrenching poems by Ali Cobby Eckermann, from her collection little bit long time, which left the audience stunned and lingered on in the mind. Alexis Wright bringing to our attention the importance of ancient lore, the voice of the Elders, temporal rather than linear stories, before reading from Carpentaria. Gogu Shyamala, Dalit feminist and Telangana activist. C S Lakshmi (Ambai), feminist and activist, who revealed her take on the world and her experiences with wit and humour. All of which helped to create a deeper understanding of the challenges regularly encountered.
Award winning poets Judith Beveridge, Michelle Cahill, Kynpham Sing Nongkynrih and Prabodh Parikh spoke about the poetic imagination and treated the audience to their strong and subversive poems.
The final panel session of editors, translators and publishers explained the practical hurdles of publishing books in regional languages and in finding skilled translators; as well as the responsibility of editing and publishing stories in localised variations of english in literature. Kabita Dhara, publisher at Brass Monkey Books Australia, Ivor Indyk from Giramondo Press, Mita Kapur author and CEO of Siyahi, R Sivapriya Managing Editor of Translations and Classics Penguin Books India and Sharon Rundle who has co-edited Indo-Australian books for Picador (Australia, India) and Brass Monkey Books emphasised the importance of publishing transnational writing and translations.
The State Library NSW book shop stocked books by the various speakers, including 'Alien Shores' and 'Fear Factor Terror Incognito'. It was quite a thrill to see them on display there.
Huge congratulations to the organisers, Mridula Nath Chakraborty and Anthony Uhlmann Director of the University of Western Sydney Writing and research Centre; and the State Library of NSW, for this essential and welcome initiative.
AILIF was supported by the Australian Government through the Australia-India Council and the Australia Council; Copyright Agency Ltd Cultural Fund; Australia India Institute; State Library of NSW; The Taj Foundation.

It's All About the Delusionality, Part 1: The Vatican, Iraq:
We know how this shit actually went down. A bunch of cardinals, bishops, the Pope, other hangers-on in man-dresses gathered in Rome and said, with their various cute accents, "Damn, we gotta do something to make people think we're not a bunch of hatemongering bullshit artists who only wanna fuck little boys and engorge our golden coffers with the money of the poor." So, now, there's only a little bit of wriggle room in Catholic teachings to do something that won't completely fuck with people and cause a schism, a la those heathen Episcopalians. What do you do, motherfuckers? What do you do?
You say the babies ain't floatin' in limbo no more. Yep, that'll take care of the bad PR. For centuries, Catholics have believed that dead babies (and fetuses) wouldn't be allowed into God's creepily wide open arms because no one in a man-dress had poured on the babies' heads a goodly dose of holy water, which, as near as the Rude Pundit can tell, means water that the Pope has dipped his balls in. (Followed, of course, by the dude in the man-dress smearing lubricant on the baby's head. Followed, of course, by the baby crying because some dude in a man-dress just tossed water in her eyes and then made her ready for cooking.)
Apparently, this was done after a great deal of "study." Says the document the Vatican put out, "The conclusion of this study is that there are theological and liturgical reasons to hope that infants who die without baptism may be saved and brought into eternal happiness even if there is not an explicit teaching on this question found in revelation." How does the babies gets them some salvation? Well, suffering is always a good way, by "saving conformity to Christ in his own death." So crucified babies are in, as are other victims of "violence." And then there's the chance that God'll just give 'em a pass.
It's really part of the ongoing upgrading in the status of the dead babies since St. Augustine, that repressed fuck, declared that the babies is headin' to hell to burn because babies make Satan's fires glow more brightly. That was in the fifth century. In the 1200s, they upgraded the babies to limbo, but they held the bar awfully low. Now it's all the way to heaven for them babies. Although the Catholics are hedging their bets in an amazingly honest statement: "It must be clearly acknowledged that the church does not have sure knowledge about the salvation of unbaptized infants who die."
Seriously, how is this any different than slicing open a goat and reading its entrails to see what's what?
Meanwhile, over in Mosul, Iraq, gunmen, probably Sunni, separated people by religion, letting the Christians go, and keeping a bunch of Kurds who belong to the Yazidi faith (not an Islamic sect) on the bus they were riding in. Then they, you know, drove 'em somewhere, lined 'em up, and killed 23 of them. The reason had something to do with revenge for a Yazidi woman who converted to Islam for a Sunni lover and then was stoned to death by the Yazidis for it. And there's some shit about Yazidis believing in some angel who some Christians and Muslims believe is the devil and...ah, fuck it.
You wanna know why the war is lost? Because it could never, never be won. We're asking people who live in a state of religious delusion to calm the fuck down and not respond to their delusions. Delusional reality. Delusionality, if you will. We in the West just think our delusionality is so much more civilized than theirs.
But if the great and wondrous West is still trying to figure out if some invisible sky wizard lets the ghosts of dead babies into his invisible sky cloud city, if this is something that grown-ups have to have a "study" about, whether for reasons of public relations or theology, then we are not so far down that historical road from stoning for conversions.
We're not gonna win this war because we're in the middle of the Better Butter Battle. Hell, the Zooks and the Yooks even built a goddamn wall.

The Industrial Sector Offers A Lot Of Value, Dividend Growth And Income – Seeking Alpha
The Industrial Sector Offers A Lot Of Value, Dividend Growth And Income – Seeking Alpha: Editors' Note: This article covers a micro-cap stock. Please be aware of the risks associated with these stocks.
Introduction to the Industrial Sector
The Industrial sector is primarily comprised of companies that produce goods used in construction and manufacturing. Some of the key subsectors include aerospace and defense, construction and engineering, building products and industrial conglomerates. For the most part, these are capital-intensive industries that often operate on low or even razor thin net margins. Consequently, profitability can be very erratic from one year to the next. Therefore, although there are exceptions, finding quality buy-and-hold dividend growth stocks in this sector is tricky.

Assisted Checkin
A station that is setup as assisted checkin requires a volunteer to run the checkin station. From this station type, the volunteer will be able to search for people by name, phone number and bar code along with edit information about a household, add / update barcodes for the household and create new households to check in with.
Setup Station
1. Select the "Assisted Checkin" option from the Station setup screen.
Fill Out Checkin Station Details
1. Give the checkin station a name. This will be used to uniquely identify the station. Reports will show the traffic a specific checkin station has so the name is important.
2. Select the campus that the checkin station is used at.
3. Select the station template that the checkin station is used for. Check out the Self / Assisted Station Setup section of the documentation for information on how to create station templates.
4. Selecting a dropdown in Focus Checkin will show a select list of items. Choose the station template from the list.
5. When all information is filled out, click and touch the "Set up Station" button.
Search Screen
1. The Previous Family button will allow the volunteer go to the last family that was selected. This is useful when the volunteer needs to go back and look at information about the family or they accidentally exited the family screen.
2.The Previous Search button cycles through the past 5 names that were searched for and populates them in the search for family text area.
3. The text area is where a search can be performed. Searches can be in different formats Using the person Steve Smith:
- at least first 3 of first name and at least first 3 of last name (ste smi)
- at least first 3 of last name and at least first 3 of first name (smi, ste) note: a comma is required for Focus Check to understand that the last name is first
NOTE: It is possible to search by a ten digit phone number or by scanning a barcode.
Family Results Screen
1. The Cancel button will return the volunteer to the previous screen.
2. The search text area that populates the search term that was provided. It is possible to alter the search term from here and search again.
3. The family results show the entire family. The individuals on the left are the adults of the household, typically the Head and the Spouse. The individuals on the right are children and visitors of the household. If the image exists, it will display. To select the family, tap anywhere in the region of the family highlighted by the red square.
4. In the event the family does not exist, click or touch the "Not here? Add a Household" button. This will take the user through the add a family workflow.
5. The back button will return the volunteer to the previous screen.
Family Options
1. Add Family Member: Allows the volunteer to add a member to the existing household.
2. Edit family Member: Allows the volunteer to edit information bout a member in the household. The information that can be edited are: First Name, Last Name, Goes By Name, Relationship, Gender, birthdate and Tag comment.
3. Show Visitors: When a family is selected, the visitors are hidden by default. This is to take advantage of real estate on the screen. In order to show the visitors, select this option.
4. Add Visitor: Sometimes a person that is considered a visitor (a neighbor or a cousin from out of town) needs to be added to the household before they can be checked in.Use this option to add a visitor to the household.
5. Attach Barcode to Household: In the event a family member or household needs a new barcode or an updated barcode, use this option.
Selecting Family Members
1. The purpose of the family screen is the indicate who is here today. Even if the person is not necessarily checking into an activity, it is important to select the people that are here today, especially the adults. When kids go to class, the system uses the people chosen here to identify who can pick up the child from the classroom.
2. Once all the family members are selected, hit the next button to choose the rosters to check into.
Select Rosters
For each family member, the volunteer will be presented with the rosters that are available for the individual to check into. There are a few business rules that help narrow down the rosters that are selectable.
- Focus Checkin looks at the age restrictions for both the roster and the activity to identify if the family member should be able to check into the roster. If there is no age restrictions and the family member cannot check into any rosters that have age restrictions, rosters with no age restrictions will be shown.
- The start time of the schedule and the end time of the schedule are taken into consideration when showing rosters. Rosters that start within the next 4 hours will show up and will show up until the end time of the roster. Rosters where the end time has past are not shown cine checking into that roster would not be possible.
Select Multiple Rosters
It is possible to select multiple rosters to check into. If the rosters happen at the same time, the rules of the class room workflow will come into play.
View broader selection
There are instances where the rosters that are shown for a family member are not what the volunteer needs to check the person into. This happens sometimes for example when, because of the date of birth, the rosters that are available are for 5th grade but the family member really needs to be checked into 6th grade.
Add a family member
Adding a new family member allows the volunteer to fill out minimal information about a family member to get this into the ChMS and get checked into a classroom. Once the new family member is added to the family, they will be automatically selected as one of the family members that are here today.
Add Visitor
Adding a visitor to a household allows the volunteer to get a person who is not in the family's household and connect them. It is possible that a visitor already exists inside of the ChMS which Focus Checkin takes into account.
Search for the visitor
1. Focus Checkin requires the volunteer to search for the person before the person is added as a visitor to the family. Sometimes the person exists in the ChMS. If the person already exists, then the volunteer can select that person and check that person in with the family instead of creating a new person.
Select Existing Person
1. If the person that was searched for exists, the volunteer can select that person to add the the family. NOTE: In this case, the visitor is only added to the family for this specific checkin. Next time the family checks in, this person will not be included as a visitor. This will allow Focus Checkin to identify the adults that checked the visitor in.
2. After the person is selected, touch or click the "+ Add!" button. This will take the volunteer back to the family view and the visitor that was selected will be highlighted as here today.
3. If the person that the volunteer is searching for does not exist already, they can touch or click the "Add a new visitor" link to add a new visitor to the family. NOTE: In this case, the visitor will be added to the family as a visitor. Next time the family checks in, the visitor will be shown when the volunteer clicks "Show visitors".
Add New Visitor
If the volunteer elects to add a new visitor, they will be presented with a screen to provide information about the visitor. This information is then saved to the ChMS and the visitor is added to the family. The volunteer will be taken back to the family select screen with the new visitor highlighted as here when they touch or click the "+ Add!" button.

Trick or Treat!!
Growing up in New Zealand in the 80's we never got to go trick or treating. Mainly because Mum thought it was something "only Americans do" but also because no one in our neighbourhood got into it either.
Despite this, we'd still chant "trick or treat, smell my feet, give me something nice to eat!" for the month of October (much to Mum's annoyance), until she finally gave in and handed over the sweets.
These days Halloween is much more celebrated in New Zealand and no doubt we'll have trick or treaters knocking away at our door in a few days, much to Chewie's delight!
So this year I'm joining in the fun with these Trick Or Treat Halloween Spider Web Cookies!
But are they are a trick or a treat?!
Let's take a closer look.
For starters, they're a deliciously soft, dairy, grain and refined sugar free cookie, made with almond butter and the rather "tricky" sunflower seed flour.
If you haven't come across sunflower seed flour yet, it's simply finely ground sunflower seeds and is sometimes also called sunflour.
Why is sunflower seed flour "tricky" you ask?
When you combine sunflower seed flour with baking soda in baked goods, something rather interesting happens.
If you leave your baked goods for a couple of days you'll begin to see greenish blue spots, which initially look like mould!
On closer inspection, however, there's no furriness typical of mould, and that's because it's actually a chemical reaction between the two ingredients that creates the colour.
Perfect for a Halloween cookie right?!
My thoughts exactly.
The question is, are you feeling tricky this Halloween?
If your answer is yes, be sure to make these cookies a good few days before Halloween so that your unsuspecting trick or treaters will get a tricky surprise in the middle of their delicious treat.
Cackle cackle.
I'll leave it up to you whether or not you tell them what they're actually eating.
Happy Halloween!
Trick Or Treat Halloween Spider Web Cookies
Makes: 12 large flat cookies
Prep time: 20 minutes Bake time: 10-12 minutes
50ml coconut oil, melted
100g sunflower flour (ground sunflower seeds)
90g coconut sugar
10g coconut flour
1 tsp baking soda
pinch pink Himalayan salt
1 tsp vanilla essence
1 egg
50g almond butter
100g dark chocolate (I used Whittakers 70% Ghana dairy free chocolate)
50g white chocolate (I used Loving earth dairy free white chocolate)
Preheat the oven to 170ºC fan bake and line two oven trays with baking paper or mats.
Gently melt the coconut oil.
Combine all the ingredients in a food processor and pulse to combine. Alternatively, combine all the dry ingredients in a bowl and stir well. Combine all the wet ingredients in a separate bowl and mix well, then add the wet to the dry and stir together until evenly combined.
Drop spoonfuls of mixture onto the lined baking trays and form into round cookie shapes. No need to flatten as they do so on their own in the oven.
Bake in the centre of the oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the cookies have turned a golden brown and feel set when pressed lightly.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow to cool on their trays for at least 10 minutes, before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
To decorate:
Melt the dark chocolate either in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of steaming water or in the microwave. Drop a spoonful of melted chocolate on top of each cookie and use a spatular or flat knife to spread out to the edges. Next melt the white chocolate and pour into a small paper piping bag. Pipe 3 circles on each cookie and use a knife to draw lines out from the centre to create a spider web design.
Once the chocolate icing has set, store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
