This paper examines three decades of Japanese experience with deposit insurance and failing banks, and analyzes the implications of that experience for bank safety-net reform in other countries. To date, the literature and policy debate on deposit insurance have been heavily colored by U.S. banking history and focus almost exclusively on explicit deposit protection schemes. Analysis of Japan's safety-net experience suggests that (1) deposit insurance, for all its flaws, is superior to the real-world alternative--implicit government protection of depositors and discretionary regulatory intervention in bank distress; (2) a well-designed explicit deposit insurance system that includes a credible bank-closure policy is the starting point for the design of effective private alternatives to a government-run safety net; and (3) the trend toward greater institutionalization of the Japanese safety net--culminating in recent legislation to address the financial crisis--reflects increased political competition and greater emphasis on legal as opposed to reputational systems of economic ordering in that country.
Keywords: Deposit insurance; Bank failure

When you go after your dreams, you will be labeled as different- so embrace it, don't try to fit in!
A word of warning if you've decided to go after your dreams: Really successful people in the world have had one thing in common- they have all at some point been labeled as: Different. They set themselves apart with a tenacity and unwillingness to compromise!
I found an interesting example of this in the Bible: the book of Leviticus. For those of you not familiar with this book of the Bible, it is basically the rules and regulations the Jewish people and priests were to follow strictly.
I always found it odd that God would require so many "unique" and seemingly trivial matters to take up space in his love letter to us. What does how you handle mildew have to do with God's love for us? What does the way the priest dresses have to do with God's plan for the universe? Turns out, EVERYTHING! As I was reading Leviticus this weekend, it struck me that there was one reason God's instructions to the Israelites was so minutely detailed: Their Neighbors. You see, in every way, God wanted his people to be set apart, to be different. He had seen the destruction and disaster caused by the religious practices of their neighbors, and he wanted to protect them from the consequences of evils like child sacrifice, prostitution, and general corruption. He wasn't giving the rules to be mean or controlling, he was trying to, in every single way, set them apart. Leviticus 18 says:
1 Then the Lord said to Moses, 2 "Give the following instructions to the people of Israel. I am the Lord your God. 3 So do not act like the people in Egypt, where you used to live, or like the people of Canaan, where I am taking you. You must not imitate their way of life. 4 You must obey all my regulations and be careful to obey my decrees, for I am the Lord your God. 5 If you obey my decrees and my regulations, you will find life through them. I am the Lord.
So as you examine your goals, keep in mind that to become the extraordinary person you are destined to be, you will have to be EXTRA-ORDINARY or in a word, DIFFERENT!

Police abuse
Posted 3 years ago
Even though whites and minorities commit the same amount of crime, minorities are punished more harshly because of discriminatory policing that targets minority communities. Sadly, minorities bear the brunt of police abuse and brutality. We need federal policies to supervise and monitor police as well as hold wrongdoers accountable.

While interacting with NUST faculty and students, Ms Fernanda acknowledged Pakistan's meritorious contributions to the UN
peacekeeping missions, terming it one of the largest countries to have
contributed to bringing peace in areas marred by insecurity and unrest. She
also lauded NUST for providing peacekeeping training both to local and foreign
troops. She also mentioned that 2030 SDG goals had a direct link with the UN
Security Council Resolution 1325, which emphasises on participation and
protection of women in the UN missions. Rector NUST, in his remarks, extended
his gratitude to Ms Fernanda for visiting CIPS and highlighted Pakistan's
contributions to the UN missions. Besides apprising the dignitaries of NUST
accomplishments, he said that female students and faculty members form a good
proportion of overall NUST students and teaching staff, respectively, adding
the figure is rising with every passing year.

400 Entries for "styrofoam"
What is styrofoam? any idea? I know about foam…but what is styrofoam…can anyone explain me this? Does it have any meaning….I cant think of anything.
styrofoam is hilarious to play with, crunch a bunch up into tiny pieces and then run up to your friend and dump it on their head. sticks like crazzzyy. have fun :)
styrofoam. you can rip it, but it's not as fun bubble wrap or the styrofoam peanuts. the hard-packed styrofoam, no one likes to play with.
this is something that comes in packages and its white and i like to break it into pieces. its really awesome because it looks like snow sometimes but you can also break it into big pices. sometimes the big pieces can be used to build something like a little house or something. usually theres a lot in those big boxes like for my tv
Each small citrus-like segment rubs shoulders with its neighbours, vying for space in a lightweight world.
Styrofoam…that's what they serve our food on at school. I hate it. it's just white and meaningless in it's total articialness. The school could do better than styrofoam. IT reminds me of deprivement. I hate it.
dim sum
organic chemistry misses
the point, if pointing
is your bliss, point west
she misses the point all
the time: grasp the tear
animate the wound
time gathers you to
her womb.
it is a funny thing it is stiff yet crunchy and messy soooo much fun to play with i love uses i for art big presents come wrapped in it..oh joy! the little beads are messy
I saw the four letter word. The frightening letters that together spelled my feelings. The ma next to me had no clue. I was frightened, so I took a sharpie and blacked it out, and I smelled the intoxicating pen fumes and sat back. I looked at the man and he smiled.
Hmm, styrofoam can be a very useful substance if you use your imagination. It can be a wind breaker to keep you warm and insulate from the cold, and you can even build a boat with it!
The styrofoam cups bobbed up and down in the lake like soapy bubbles. They washed up onto by beach, slimy and filled with sand. I threw them into the trash where they filled up the landfill, never to disintegrate.
styrofoam is what was used in the residence halls in college. My roommate, Kristina, is into recycling and the environment. Despite the fact we were both addicted to coffee, she started to boycott the foam containers provided.
styrofoam is bad for the environment went you bite it and tear it to pieces like I used to do in the dug out while I cheered on the girls who weren't horrible at the sport that their dads were proud to say their little one was playing.
Styrofoam. i'mnot quiite sure what it is actually. Someimes its squishy, sometimes is rock solid. Styofoam is itself. I is all it ees to be. Why cant we be like that? Why can't we just be styrofoam, and except that we're different, but still be known as one? Why can't people be like styrofoam?
Meetings. Meetings with people in H&M clothing. A future I've done my best to not let my imaginings digest before it is so.
soft and pliable and easy to make into planets or school projects. fun to play with and look at when you're at the craft store. the main ingredient in a lot of things
Belived that people was running through the woods. But styrofoam was wrong. The people was just having fun. Yep.
Opening the box a small green eggshell popped out. The stuffing that held a prized object couldn't contain itself. His arms went deep in as they yearned to grasp something other than fluff. And then there it was..
Styrofoam is nice and light, perfect to package things in to keep from getting damaged. Kid's also love to play with it when their parents get a nice big package used with that. It sure makes a mess though when they crumble it. I used to like to use it for crafts and paint it. Its got such an interesting texture and shape!
Styrofoam is fun to play with; however, it gets stuck to your clothes and you often have a tough time getting it off of you. It's used to protect things in little boxes or even big boxes.
a flexible yet sturdy material. terrible for the environment except we all use it. dunkin donuts. take out. late night food. feel guilty for using it but unavoidable. so much for going green.
It was everywhere, popping everywhere. It was a sea of white Styrofoam, packing the children together. Hands popped up, screaming lips fought for air. Some were laughing, a crazed laughter that echoed of the linoleum walls and aluminum floors.
styrofoam. doesnt it just look like brand new fallen snow on a quiet sunday morning at big bear mountain? i know it does. because i've a) played with styrofoam and b) seen brand new fallen snow at big bear. let me just tell you though, it is soooo beautiful. i think it was the first time i remember seeing snow. i was quite young. i guess styrofoam is a new concept in this world as well, whereas snow has been here forever.
Making a mess every time its touched the little white pearls of mass irritation spontaneously make their way around the floor as my toddler begins to bite off chunks of the white Styrofoam. My anger strikes me at it's worst I am about to raise my hand to given to my blood thirst, then a bit of Styrofoam creeps up into the fan like snow flakes fluttering down my anger melts away.
lightweight, white, and fluffy. seemingly useless, yet it protects our most precious possessions. its annoying, and it sticks to you everywhere, yet without it, we wouldn't have valuables to cherish. necessary, yet useless.
Puffy cushions are made of syrofoam, and so are all the most comfy things that can be put in a bedroom, living room. Styrofoam is useful in craftivity, arts, and all kind of fun stuff.
Styrofoam can be painted, but not with spray paint because material will disintegrate.
Styrofoam. Makes me think of projects when I was a kid, the nasty taste when you'd have to drink water out of one, and those huge balls at the art store that I still don't understand a purpose for.
styrofoam is one of the banes of humanity. It causes huge piles of mass in landfills and will take thousands of years to disappear from the environment. There are other, better methods of packaging that should be explored before using styrofoam.
so white so hot it burns my fingers but makes the snow fun to look at. Hot coffee, how amazing you are! i wish you would burn my fingers only not my tongue. But i will take the fire.
styrofoam is amazing. you can do almost anything with it. It can make your life better! IF you have a box of styrofoam, you can make a fort, or entertain some friends. It is the ULTIMATE entertainment. Besides bubble wrap of course, but nothing beats that. Styrofoam is a mess though. Oh look, I get to go again! But anyway, after you get all the little pellets on the floor, it's annoying to get it off. Sweepers barely work, and anything else requires so much time. It's fun otherwise though. So yeah. There's my paper. Do I get an A+?

Communication between asset managers or asset owners and the companies they invest in makes for a better investment, according to new research from the Investment Association (IA) and the Pensions and Lifetime Savings Association (PLSA).
The idea of "stewardship", or communicating with portfolio companies to ensure good practice is being carried out, has in the past been viewed by some asset managers and institutions as a tick-box to keep investors happy.
But today's survey has found that good engagement actually has a positive impact on investment decisions and leads to increased value.
Read more: A shareholder row is already brewing over the Investment Association's role in Theresa May's executive pay reforms
"High quality engagement is key to the important role of the investment management industry. It has an essential place in ensuring that companies take long term decisions which offer the best returns to investors and savers," said Chris Cummings, chief executive of the Investment Association.
"The asset management industry must take an active role in engaging on company's strategy in the interests of driving long term value."
The survey shows that, of the respondents which conducted stewardship in-house, almost two thirds reported that engagement with UK companies resulted in better investment decisions.
Asset managers tend to take care of stewardship in-house, while asset owners such as pension funds tend to outsource the activities.

However a "substantial core" are now integrating it into their investment practices and 68 per cent now include a stewardship policy in their statement of investment principles.
Engagement has tended to focus on executive remuneration, although the IA and the PLSA recommend that "other drivers of long term value" should be considered.
"At the heart of this research is the simple message that communication is key to good outcomes for asset owners as well as asset managers," said Joe Dabrowski, head of governance and investment at the PLSA.
"Workplace pension schemes have £1.9 trillion of assets under management in the UK and are therefore keenly interested in not just how an investment performs in the short term but its long-term value. The research highlights the steps that institutional investors are taking on an ongoing basis to ensure that high standards of stewardship are built and maintained."

Tell me what altered the view that you beautifully had
In this world, that I seem to recall, I was loath to regale?
What was given or taken or broken that made you so sad?
Tell me, how did your wonderful heart become suddenly pale?
Dark are the words of the cynic I wear on my skin
And yet I entreat you to see what has never been lost
As I fear that you think that an ending must surely begin
I beg you to see not a chasm, but bridges across
Here, as I cling to the shadows and stay out of view
I mourn at the thought of your heart in depths of despair
Ever burdened by loss or the demons you fight to subdue
So I hold to the notion that nothing is beyond repair
Tell me the words and I'll say them forever again
That the grace of your smile is more than the stars in the night
I'd discard every moniker held and relinquish my pen
If it meant you could see me as anything more than a blight

Thanks for visiting the Vinny's Hockey Team fundraising page. The Vinny's Hockey Team is a looong time in the making. This group of guys played hockey together as a team for over a decade in 90s/early 00s. Although times have changes, we all still love to play the game, sometimes as team mates, other times as opponents, but we all want to help out where we can.
In participating in the 11 Day Power Play we are going to get the guys back together for a long overdue skate and help raise money for the fight against cancer. We appreciate your support. Please consider donating to this great cause.
See you on the ice!
This summer, more than 1,700 pairs of skates will hit the ice to play in the 2018 11 Day Power Play Community Shift to help in the fight against cancer! The 11-day game will be played in continuous, four-hour shifts at HarborCenter in Buffalo, New York. Each shift will feature two new teams. The purpose of this important event is to raise critically-needed funds for important local cancer causes, including: cutting-edge cancer research and wellness programs at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center; supporting programs that improve quality of life for children, adults and families affected by cancer through Camp Good Days; and, granting wishes and amazing experiences to kids with life-threatening illnesses, including cancer, by Make-A-Wish Western New York. Although it may be physically challenging for our players to play four continuous hours of hockey, it will be a walk in the park compared to what some people have to endure in their battle against cancer. Cancer is a disease that touches everyone, and The 11 Day Power Play wants to make a difference, a big difference. You can help make a big difference by supporting our players' efforts in The 11 Day Power Play Community Shift.
As part of our fundraising efforts, we also offer various corporate sponsorships, providing value greatly in excess of the financial contribution. Please contact Sara Schumacher at email@example.com or 716-830-3805 for more information. Team sponsorships start at $1,100 and are first come, first serve.
Proceeds of the 11 Day Power Play Community Shift will benefit our local families while supporting cancer research and wellness programs at Roswell Park, Make-A-Wish WNY and Camp Good Days.
Donations are graciously accepted either online or by check. Please write checks out to 'The 11 Day Power Play' and send to PO Box 4 Buffalo NY 14223.

Are Geographic Restrictions On Content Obsolete? | Techdirt. 9 July 2010
An interesting post which points out the obvious (no sarcasm intended). Boundaries in terms of filtering are disappearing, at least the way they used to be. It reminds me of the major change in the 18th century in France with the abolition of the 'octroi' this tax/customs imposed on anybody entering/exiting a town in France, a tax greatly criticised by the physiocrats and the progressive bourgeois who perceived it as a hindrance to commerce. For France, free market started in 1789 and its following years, when those types of physical barriers allied to taxes were abolished.
I need to enquire about the English side, but I do not recall taxes, after the medieval times, attached to towns. A colleague told me there were tolls on the road though. But I suppose it may not have been very different than the nowadays tolls on the road even though they are very few in England, and much more in France with the motorways.
It is hard to imagine that once upon a time, one could not traverse France and commerce without paying the octroi for each town the merchants were going to. So maybe it is hard to imagine the same freedom today granted when it comes to access to contents, i.e. data, the new valuable good.
Similarly, it is hard to imagine that Governments would allow blockages that would bar people from the internet and/or from websites even for innocuous uses like checking e-mails. See the Turkish story: "People In Turkey Quite Angry Over Google Blockade; While Bureaucrats Defend Policy", TechDirt, 6 July 2010

Pastra Holidays
Pastra holidays put you in the heart of an under-the-radar rural village, where scenic walking routes and chilled-out evening tipples headline the to-do list.
Peace and quiet in Pastra
You'll find the village of Pastra in the Greek countryside, a 10-minute drive from the sand-and-pebble mix that's sprinkled along Kefalonia's southern coast. Just over 100 people call this bite-sized hamlet home, and it's a case of everyone knows everyone here. You can expect an atmosphere that's as laidback as they come, and home-away-from-home levels of friendliness when you stroll through the streets.
World of walking
Pastra's in a prime spot at the bottom of the slopes of Mount Ainos, the tallest mountain on the island. The surrounding area's filled with easy-going walking trails that weave up and down the tree-lined hills. And if you're looking for something a little more adventurous, you can take a drive higher up the 1,600-metre-tall mountain. The routes around here are steeper, but on a clear day you might be able to see some other Greek islands, like Zakynthos, off in the distance.
Stroll around Skala
If you want to break up your days in the countryside with something a bit more fast-paced, then you can take a 20-minute drive down to the coastal town of Skala. It's one of Kefalonia's biggest resort towns, and is known around the island for its collection of cocktail bars and bass-pumping nightclubs. If you're in the mood for a tanning session, there's a good-sized beach here, as well.

Sprawl out on pillow-soft sand at the village of Skala
Hike up the jade-tinted slopes of Mount Ainos

Are your Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Classic Develop Presets missing? Over the past few months, Adobe has changed the way that Develop Presets are stored inside of Lightroom Classic. For most Lightroom Classic users, these changes have been invisible and harmless. For many others though these updates to Lightroom Classic's Develop Preset storage system have caused a lot of problems.
If your Develop Presets have suddenly gone missing in Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Classic then this troubleshooting video is for you!
One of the most common frustrations that I keep seeing applies to those who purchase Lightroom Classic Develop Presets from third-party websites. Many of the websites that sell, or share, Develop Presets have not kept up with the recent changes to Lightroom's underlying Develop Preset storage architecture.
To make matters worse, the internet is full of antiqued, and incorrect, Develop Preset installation instructions. It used to be that there was a folder called Develop Presets which is where this type of file needed to be stored.
With the latest changes though this is no longer the correct location for your .xmp Develop Preset files. Dragging and dropping custom Develop Presets into the legacy Develop Presets folder will not work anymore.
Fortunately, there is a much easier way now for most users to install third-party Develop Presets built into Lightroom Classic. This method, using Lightroom's new Import Develop Preset feature works perfectly for anyone who is storing their Lightroom Catalog on their computer's internal hard drive. Those like me though, users who choose to store their Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Classic Catalog on an external drive, still need to take additional steps to ensure that our Develop Presets are available on any computer that we choose to use with our external hard drive.

A punch up is looming in the Internet property marketing world if latest reports by the FT are true.
Internet giant Google is allegedly lining up the UK to launch a website which would allow estate agents to list their property for free. Currently most agents are reliant on property portals such as Rightmove to list property. This can cost the average agency £325 per month.
There have been many attempts to overturn Rightmove's dominance of the Internet property marketing world but all so far have failed. There have been also many attempts at free direct marketing sites that allow properties to be listed for free. The latest being the website Tepilo backed by celebrity landlord and developer Sarah Beeny.
The entry of Google would have the reach and effectiveness to mount a serious challenge to the likes of Rightmove. The City responded to the rumours by immediately marking Rightmoves shares down by 10%.

REVIEW FROM www.livingtradition.co.uk
|JUDY DINNING "Fine Times" Mawson-Wareham Music MWMCDSP61
Devised to form part of the 'Northumbria Anthology' - a project, partly funded by a Millennium Heritage grant, this CD adds to a continuously expanding collection of songs, poetry and music celebrating the history and culture of the North-East of England. Free-standing too, it's a captivating addition to Judy Dinning's growing body of work that began over 20 years ago with Waiting For The Change a duo LP with Dave Smith on Rubber Records. Since leaving Jez Lowe's Bad Pennies in 2002, and with her role in all-women band, Lucky Bags being somewhat curtailed right now, it's as a member of Real Time along with Joe Wright and Kenny Spiers, that Dinning's flame has been burning stronger and brighter. Her time is surely now.
This debut solo album is packed with assured, thoughtful versions of traditional songs such as Water Of Tyne (from 1812's Rhymes Of the Northern Bards) and plenty of Joe Wilson's words set to tunes by Pete Scott, guitarist in the small, subtle backing group of musicians assembled here. John Dickinson's uncoiling curls of slide guitar in particular, imparting a very delta bluesy feel to songs such as Gallowgate Lad. In fact throughout, the basic, sparse arrangements coupled with a subtle empathic approach showcase the songs themselves rather than being a "listen to us" exercise by the sidemen. A heartfelt recording - it rocks, it exhilarates, it caresses by turns and Judy's voice has a warm strength that could melt an ice-cap!
The final track - the gripping Ne Wark, again one of Joe Wilson's poems has a fuller band treatment and is a telling indictment of 19th unemployment that fizzes along with energy and fire ("Aw wander te places, an' try te get wark where 'call back agyen' is the foreman's remark") - nothing new there then. The title track is a self-penned, heartwarming paen to simpler, though more arduous times written for her father, a Northumbrian farmer and in a folk world awash with emotion-by-numbers performances and performers, true feeling remains a blessed thing.
There is real passion in this sweetly drifting album. Quietly spectacular.

Starting with a Sail
One of the oldest ways to capture wind energy is the sail. Since the very first shipbuilders erected a mast, the simple sail has harnessed more of the kinetic energy in wind for human use than any other structure [source: Zaghdoud].
Sail as inspiration for a high-efficiency wind turbine, then, makes perfect sense, and Saphon Energy hopes to implement it in a sail-shaped turbine it calls Saphonian. Compared to a standard, bladed design, the more aerodynamic, lower-friction turbine can use up to twice the amount of energy in a given supply of wind, using it to create hydraulic pressure to drive a generator [source: Zaghdoud]. According to Saphon, its most recent prototype is more than twice as efficient as a typical windmill-style turbine [source: Zaghdoud].
As an interesting side note, Saphonian takes its name from Baal-Saphon, a wind deity in the religion of ancient Carthage. In particular, Baal-Saphon ruled the wind that would churn up the seas, and he was worshipped by Carthaginian sailors on their journeys [source: Saphon].
Next, at the blade's edge ...

The sun shone in hot, grazing my knuckles with its rays as the air rushed in from the open window smelling sweet and sticky, a mix of mature chlorophyl and highway fumes, and for a second I almost felt peace. I caught a glimpse of another driver, window down, hair blowing in the wind, and I wondered where she was going or what she was doing and I imagined her freedom. I lost myself in a moment of reverie, as I often find myself doing these days, imaging the days when I was free from seeing the reality of life and knowing those days of freedom are forever gone. The moment lasted but the space of a couple inhale and exhales until I heard her tiny giggle in the backseat and I was snapped back into reality; until I felt the massive weight of responsibility suck in around me. Responsibility like the crushing pressure of water that can rush in to any tiny hole or deformity found in a vessel at sea and displace all the air and eventually crush massive structures sinking them, banishing them to the ocean's depths; responsibility so massive it is like an ocean.
She yells, "Fresh air!" and laughs again that magnetic giggle that forces all those around to involuntarily smile.
I smile with a twinge of pain as I think how oxymoronic that something so pure and joyous could suck all the air from my lungs and snap me out of the closest moment to freedom I have felt in the longest time. She is almost 9 but still has the giggle of a toddler, like many of her other features.
We are behind the clock, again, rushing to pick up brother; coming from an appointment at the hospital, to get him, and to go to his therapy. This is the third therapy of the week; it's like soup du jour, every day has it's own flavor of therapy, mostly for her but also some for him. The car sways with the turns, a little too much, it needs new suspension but we can't afford it, therapy is expensive, doctors are expensive, this life is expensive.
"Baby, Mama's had enough fresh air I'm gonna roll the windows up now."
I feel my breath being sucked out the window like the air being displaced by water in someone who drowns, and I just need the window closed; but there is no end to this drowning, no rescue and no death, just the ever pressing weight of responsibility and no way to swim through it.
I hopped out of the car and the sun hit my back warming me, I hear the noises of summer in the background and wax nostalgic for the time I worked summer camp; I love children more than anything else in this world, I love working with children, talking with them, teaching them, everything about them. How could I not know it could be like this? I opened the car door to help my nearly 9 year old out of her car seat, a full 5-pt harness car seat. I have religiously buckled her in and out of a car seat for 9 years and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future; it's easy to forget about the monotony of care when they are stages in the developmental march of childhood until the march forward is halted and becomes a never ending merry-go-round.
I prayed as we walked that nothing behaviorally "unexpected" happened at camp today, to who I prayed I'm not sure, because I stopped believing there could be any benevolent spirit in this world the day I resuscitated my daughter in our living room while her younger brother lay sleeping upstairs. Whatever juju there was left I must've squeezed out of the universe with that prayer, because we managed a successful day at camp and emerged from the shadowy cool basement of the school back out into the blinding sunlight of the parking lot and back we climbed into the car, ball and chain of responsibility following like the shadow of memory that I can't seem to escape every time we enter the car, the one that causes my heart to quicken its pace and my mind to replay every time she slipped into a seizure in that car seat I have buckled her into, the one that is supposed to keep her safe, but does nothing to protect her from her own body. Her body, the one I tragically knitted together for her, irreparably broken and in need of support for the rest of her life, both beautiful and tragic, and eternally entrusted to me to defend and protect.
They asked for music, just more din added to their quibbling, the buzz of the tires, and the constant internal dialogue; scheduling, dinner, scheduling, medications, scheduling, to-do, birthdays, what-ifs, politics, am I doing enough, the general on goings of the mind, ever churning like the constant whirring of the gears of a clock inside my head. It's such a beautiful day, what happened to my freedom? I wonder where that woman was going, wind blowing in her hair as she drove down the interstate. I think this is nothing like I imagined it would be and I know it is never as anyone imagines it would be, but all this with its constant therapies and medications and doctors and emergencies is really so very far from anything anyone could imagine. I love children, they are all I ever wanted, it can't all be crushing responsibility like the water that rushed in and crushed the Titanic like an empty Coke can under foot.
Friends have children, they drive with the windows down, and breathe deep breaths that fill their lungs with sweet air that smells of lilacs and cut grass. They still experience the delicious freedom of life. They take swim lessons and piano, they complain about dance class and the cost of costumes, they worry about reading and enrichment, and what type of organic sunscreen is best to protect their intact children's bodies; they live on the sandy beach and I live in the crushing depths with the rusty wreckage of those who have drown long ago. I live where my lungs cannot expand. My lungs cannot expand because I live in the world of therapies that are a have to instead of dance classes that are a want to; in a world where I look at the medications sprawled out on my kitchen table readied to be dispersed into their neat weekly planner and come to the mind-numbing realization that the cost of one month of these medications combined is literally double the average U.S. yearly income (yes, yearly!); and a world where everyday is spent moving crisis to crisis. I live in a world where I am meant to pretend I can breathe because it is the polite thing to do in the company of those who find breathing so natural. Occasionally I find others like me amongst the wreckage, drowning at the crushing depths, we share knowing looks, and try to help each other the best we can but the problem when you are drowning is there is no way to help another who has sunk to the bottom of the ocean.
I've lived this life so long I've almost forgotten what it's like to have lungs that move in and out easily like the well oiled machines lungs are meant to be. I forgot until I saw a young woman driving down the highway on a beautiful summer day, hair blowing in the wind, and longed for the freedom of healthy children giggling in the seats behind me and a destination unplanned rather than the therapy du jour.

Not all blocks have to be the very same shape, and not all mortar lines will need be the exact thickness. To be able to manipulate the subsequent block's density, the concrete used to create the block is blended with different materials before it's cast. These new blocks promise to earn building construction faster and not as expensive, in addition to result in structures which are stronger and energy efficient.
Concrete and cinder blocks have an extremely raw, industrial appearance, and this feature is something which you can definitely capitalize on in your residence. To lessen waste, concrete block is created in the quantities required for each undertaking and can be recycled. The very first point to understand is that concrete block is created from poured concrete. These steps are frequently used to manufacture concrete blocks.
You may go at your own pace and arrange the blocks in all types of ways until you receive the look you desire. It looks like virtually every time that I do, I come across a new project involving using cinder blocks. Be sure you're taking your time and which you're purchasing the optimal/optimally one for the money.
Many people like this style since it's the sort of design that could uplift somebody's spirits. It's really easy and you may customize and adapt the plan in a great deal of unique ways so that it suits your space. Ask about the wide array of standard and exclusive shapes readily available, to fulfill all your construction requirements.
First point to stay in mind is you don't necessarily need to get rid of your previous trampoline. If you're contemplating making one of these, bear in mind the blocks are extremely heavy. Imagination is typically the limit here.

- 456 kcal
- Easy to transport and prepare
- Approved by a dietician
Technical Information
Open the bag and bring the two ends together till they touch, so that the bottom of the bag opens up like a bowl.
Add 100 ml of hot or simmering water (level 3). Mix with a spoon. Close the zip. Stir the bag regularly during rehydration. Wait for 3 to 5 minutes. Open, stir again and enjoy.
The muesli can be rehydrated cold, with milk for example, in which case it takes more time.
Most of our foods are freeze-dried (with the exception of spices, rice and pasta). This is a sublimation process (passage of water from the solid state to the gaseous state directly). This preserves all the nutritional qualities of the ingredients chosen for the recipes (unlike other dehydration processes). It also helps, and this is very important, to keep the taste of the food intact and limit the use of preservatives.
Our range of freeze-dried meals is made in France.
The beef (from France) is cooked at low temperature (about 70°C) for between 45 minutes and 1 hour before being dehydrated. The other ingredients (starch etc.) are freeze-dried separately.
All the ingredients are then combined, with the spices and aromatic herbs, according to the prepared recipes. Finally, they are put in individual kraft bags.

(summary from IMEMC News, Ghassan Bannoura)
The Fifth Bil'in International Conference for Palestinian Popular Resistance, April 21-23, welcomed a full line-up of speakers including politicians, leaders of Popular Committees, Israeli activists, and international solidarity activists.
After the final conference session on Friday morning, in which workshop groups reported on their conclusions in preparation for the conference statement, the conference participants gathered with scores of other Israeli, international, and Palestinians waiting for the weekly demonstration.
Several serious injuries were sustained. Imad Rizka, 37 years old , from Yaffa, was shot in the forehead with a tear gas canister. He was taken away immediately to Ramallah Hospital by ambulance.
Soldiers fired a great deal of tear gas from both sides of the fence. Demonstrators were forced to retreat, but among those who remained, several were arrested. Soldiers crossed the fence and advanced well into village and detained five people among them one local journalist.
Additional injuries are as follows:
One demonstrator from Italy, struck in the back by a tear gas canister; an Italian demonstrator who was shot in the arm with a new type of weapon; an Israeli activist; Um Samarra, 45, from Bil'in, who was hit in the leg by a tear gas canister; Haitham al-Khatib, cameraman, who was slightly injured; a Palestinian woman from Bethlehem who sustained a leg injury; and a Palestinian journalist named Abbas al-Momni.

Sorry if that offended you, it certainly was not meant that way. I found the entire post to be Z jones referring to you as a quisling to be rather silly and makes me wonder if she has any idea what it means. I am sure very few people these days have any idea of the word. In France after it was liberated that was the typical punishment in the day it could be seen as traumatic but these days having your head shaved would not draw any attention to you even if you are a women. Kind of defeats the purpose does it not?
There are no upcoming events right now.
Why not post one?

What needs to be cleaned, when and how
How to:
- Refrigerator door handles should be wiped down with hot soapy water or a biodegradable disinfecting wipe on a daily basis. Germy, dirty hands touch the handles all day everyday.
- At the end of each week, or before you go grocery shopping, toss leftovers hat have been leftover too long and anything that is past it's user date
- The inside of the refrigerator should be wiped down with a micro fiber cloth and warm water too
- Each season, which is 4 times per years, take a deep dive into the interior and remove things and clean really well. A solution of 3 parts water and 1 part white vinegar works well. Dry the areas as you go

What can you do with 10 minutes when there is absolutely nothing else to do but wait…
Several weeks ago I had to pick up a prescription for my dog at a Walmart pharmacy. I was there at 1o minutes before the pharmacy opened.
I needed to get to work right after I picked up his medication so figured I'd better stay put in line so I'd be first once they opened.
I stood there waiting and realizing while I waited that I had 10 minutes to do nothing.
At first I thought, oh brother, 10 minutes with nothing to do but wait.
But then I thought, hmmm, 10 minutes with nothing to do but wait.
So I looked around at the displays within my viewing range–really looked and thought, this isn't bad at all. It's actually kind of nice to just stand in a line with absolutely nothing to do but look around.
It forced me to take notice of things I might not pay attention to otherwise and while I was noticing nothing in particular I did notice something in particular that I really needed–a magnifying 10x mirror. The one I'd had cracked on a rafting trip two months ago and I'd been carrying it around in my purse ever since. Lately I'd been thinking about replacing it but never remembered to whenever I was in a store.
Now my problem was solved. The mirror display was two steps from where I was standing so I snatched one up.
That 10 minute wait at the pharmacy turned out to be a gift. A time to stop for 10 minutes and pay attention. I didn't need to do one other thing, or be anywhere else. All I needed to do was be still be present and take notice.

STOURBRIDGE are set to travel again after being drawn away to either Gloucester City or Whitby Town in the Emirates FA Cup Fourth Qualifying Round.
Gloucester and Whitby are due to replay tonight at Evesham United's ground with whom Gloucester groundshare.
Glassboys boss Ian Long confirmed he would be attending to run the rule over both sides but revealed: "It's disappointing that we're away from home again and the fact it's not Notts County or Chesterfield.
"But whatever the outcome tonight, they are winnable games, although they will be both thinking the same.
"I couldn't say which one the players would prefer. While Evesham isn't very far to go, the lads might fancy Whitby and a night out in Newcastle afterwards!

Galerie Nichido is pleased to present a three persons exhibition showing the works of Léonard Tsuguharu Foujita, Morikazu Kumagai and Nagare Masayuki. The choice to bring these three important artists from slightly different generations among our representative artists comes from our will to create an exhibition that shows the gallery's historical timeline.
Léonard Tsuguharu Foujita (1886-1968)
Acknowledged as the most important Japanese artist working in the West during the 20th century, Foujita quickly achieved fame among the school of Paris in the 1920
s as an Asia painter, and with his iconic "grand fond blanc", he was able to develop a colorful reputation among the international art scene. Foujita Although Foujita left Japan permanently after Japans defeat of the war, galerie nichido continued to promote his artwork in Japan. From early years depicting endearing women and cats, to later times working on imaginary elfin children and religious paintings, we will present works spanning across the career of the artist to show a rebellion soul who always dreamt of an ideal world waiting to be created, and was able to fulfill those dreams with his own hands.
Morikazu Kumagai 熊谷守一 (1880-1977) was born in 1880. Although Kumagai was well known as a solitary artist, the two still had a traceable relationship regarding their artistic approach: both of them learned western style paintings at school but managed to find their original expression on their own in different ways. In 1938, galerie nichido organized a group show including both Kumagai and Foujita. Since then, the gallery had been working with both artists for a long time, keep on handling their works even after their death. The Hasegawa generation has special feelings for Foujita and Kumagai because of the historical connections between the artists and the gallery that goes beyond a simple business relation.
The turning point is represented by the Japanese paintings he genuinely devoted himself to from 1937, leading him to the realization of his unique style which is characterized by simplified shapes and the contour lines that distinctively embrace them. This sharp style painting which is called "Morikazu's style" became popular, and put a spotlight on Kumagai within the artists' circle. In 1967 he was unofficially offered the Order of Culture but refused it, and lived his entire life as an unawarded painter.
National Museum of Art, Tokyo currently shows his retrospective exhibition titled "The Joy of Life", which is the first held to show in Tokyo in many years, sheds light on the artist's creative process with more than 200 paintings, sketches, diaries, and documents.
Masayuki Nagare (1923-) Trained to be a sword maker, Nagare was assigned to pilot a Zero fighter plane during Second World War. After Japan's defeat, Nagare traveled throughout the war- ravaged country. The sight of endless gravestones and the desire to bring peace and consolation to the souls, he decided to apply his sword-making hands to stone. Since then, Nagare developed serial sculptural forms that maintain a firm connectedness to the Japanese sensibility, whilst at the same time reflecting a modernist aesthetic that transcends cultural identity, enabling his works to travel and be celebrated overbroad. galerie nichido is honored to work with the artist for major retrospectives over the past decades. In this show we plan to present both classical and new works of him to show how the artist continues to spread tenderness through the most hard and persevering materials at the age of 95.

Earlier this month, I took part in World Sepsis Day. For years now, my Welsh Conservative colleagues and I have been fighting tirelessly to raise awareness of this terrible disease.
Sepsis is a life-threatening illness caused by the body's response to an infection such as a urinary infection, or pneumonia, or a cut on your body or an implant of some sort. The list is lengthy and, often, only the primary problem is perceived.
Despite the disease's prevalence, many of us are unaware of the symptoms of Sepsis. At first, they can resemble those of flu – from slurred speech, extreme shivering or muscle pain. But if undetected, one experiences severe breathlessness, unable to pass urine and skin can become mottled or discoloured. For those who have survived Sepsis, many times I have heard the chilling phrase, "I felt like I was going to die".
There were over 12,000 cases of Sepsis in Wales this year, an increase on the previous. Whether this increase is due to an improvement in diagnosing is hard to tell. Despite this, the number of deaths as a result have decreased. But a shocking 5,183 deaths have occurred due to Sepsis in the last three years alone.
I have had my own experience with Sepsis. It was caught very early on by the Nurse Manager at Withybush Hospital who refused to let the locum A&E consultant send me home. The consultant saw a woman with pneumonia, but the Nurse Manager saw a leg so inflamed, it couldn't be put to the ground, the scars of the knee replacements, the rigors, the pain, and saved my life.
I went in for a routine operation, contracted the disease, and nearly died. This is not out of the ordinary.
Although I was one of the survivors of Sepsis, it isn't the end of the battle: around half of us suffer from Post-Sepsis Syndrome. The result is long-term physical and/or psychological conditions ranging from disabling muscle and joint pains to decreased cognitive function.
It only goes to show how comprehensively devastating Sepsis can be.
This is why I founded and chair the Cross-Party Group on Sepsis in the National Assembly, which unites politicians, medical professionals, and stakeholders to limit the spread of Sepsis.
We work closely with THE Sepsis Trust, and have been consistent in our efforts to persuade the Welsh Government to launch a campaign to raise awareness of Sepsis: its symptoms, preventative measures, and the best ways in which to alert patients to spot it.
I have found it encouraging to see the life-changing consequences of Sepsis explored in Coronation Street which has a UK audience more than twice the size of the Welsh population. They didn't pull their punches either – an eight year-old boy developed Sepsis through a simple cut while playing football. The result was having his leg amputated.
It would be fantastic to see such important issues raised through means which have great cut-through value to the public like this, but government can't abdicate their responsibility for public health to entertainment and the arts. They have more of a part to play than everyone. So what is to be done?
A public awareness campaign and much more training of everyone from domiciliary care workers to consultants is vital. There needs to be mandatory training of staff. NHS England have already adopted an effective method of simply displaying the Sepsis Trust's 'Just ask, could it be Sepsis?" poster in ambulances. Why can't we in Wales do the same, as my Cross-Party Group advocates?
One of the people running to replace Carwyn Jones as First Minister runs the NHS in Wales. Another was his predecessor. We hear so many poor excuses for the problems our health service faces from them – but improvements in tackling Sepsis are ready to go. The blueprints exists. So what's holding them back?
If we stop Sepsis, we can save lives.

Known as one of the most influential skaters of all time, Mullen has been at the sport's forefront since the late 1970's. But despite inventing the flat-ground ollie and dozens of other influential tricks, Rodney Mullen doesn't see himself as a star or an icon. For him, the sport and community are more important than any individual distinction.
It is this humble demeanor and genuine passion for skateboarding that make Mullen one of the most inspiring athletes in extreme sports. Today, decades after becoming a professional, he shares his innovative spirit with diverse audiences across the country as a motivational speaker. Outside of the auditorium, Rodney Mullen is still churning out progressive tricks like he has been for the last 35 years.

Editor's note: In a nearly unbelievable chapter of Oregon history, a guru from India gathered 2,000 followers to live on a remote eastern Oregon ranch. The dream collapsed 25 years ago amid attempted murders, criminal charges and deportations.
But the whole story was never made public. With first-ever access to government files, and some participants willing to talk for the first time, it's clear things were far worse than we realized.
Weapons dealers across the country said the commune had bought at least 28 military-style semiautomatic weapons, including 13 Uzi carbines and 15 Galil assault rifles, since the fall of 1984. It also acquired at least one Remington Model 700 bolt-action rifle with a telescope sight.
Individual Rajneeshees bought at least 16 other weapons, though it wasn't clear where they went or who eventually controlled them. The list included two more Uzi carbines, four Springfield M1A1 assault rifles, which are copies of the Colt AR-15, and six .357 Magnums.
In one of my earliest pieces, "Bhagwan's Hypnotic Spell," I recounted that counselors and researchers in the field of mind control and cults believed that Rajneesh was a master of various techniques of inducing altered states of consciousness, techniques that they said he and his assistants used to bind followers to him and his organization. Josh Baran, who ran a support organization in Berkeley called Sorting It Out for people who had left spiritual groups, was my first source on this subject. Baran told me he had learned that Rajneesh and his assistants were extremely skilled in a wide range of techniques for manipulating and controlling people, many of which derived from Eastern religions:
He is quite fluent in various altered states of consciousness, much more than other cult leaders I know of. His techniques include chanting, meditation, Sufi dancing, staring into lights for extended periods of time, and powerful music, all of which induce altered states of mind. What went on at his ashram in Pune was literally a smorgasbord of altered states of mind.
Hilly Zeitlin, a clinical social worker who was co-director of Options for Personal Transition in Berkeley, an organization dealing with cult involvement and related religious issues, said that Rajneesh had made a study of techniques of hypnotic induction used by cults, and told me that he believed Rajneesh to be a "one of the best hypnotists I have ever encountered. The way he uses language, his tone of voice, the way he sequences ideas ... all are essentially hypnotic." He went on to say that "the art of hypnosis is the art of being vague, while pretending you are being profound," an art that he thought Rajneesh practiced masterfully in his lectures to his disciples in Pune. "Rajneesh," he added, "can be even vaguer now by not saying anything at all." Rajneesh had taken a "vow of silence" when he left India for the United States. "Now you can project onto him whatever you want to believe."
Kathleen McLaughlin, an associate professor of religious studies at Lewis & Clark College in Portland, was at the University of Pune from 1977 to 1978 and went to hear Rajneesh lecture at his ashram on several occasions. She told me: "His use of language is wonderful. He is a hypnotic and beautiful speaker who is profoundly psychically connected to his audience. We have an immature understanding of spirituality in the West," she contended, "and since we don't believe in psychic phenomena, we are very vulnerable to them. In India it is understood that anybody who meditates can develop psychic powers—the notion is commonly held that there are such powers and that you can develop them if you want to." McLaughlin said that Western, academically-trained intellectuals are "especially vulnerable to this because they have been trained to use their heads, but not their emotions, and these techniques bypass rational thought."
Zeitlin asserted that the entire social system of the Rajneesh organization functioned to create hypnotic suggestibility in its members.
Zeitlin asserted that the entire social ystem of the Rajneesh organization functioned to create hypnotic suggestibility in its members. "There is an intense effort to break down normal ways by which people measure themselves, under the guise of going beyond or transcending the ego," he said, "and all of this is done in hypnotically binding way. They overload the circuits of the conscious mind and then present you with the alternative of 'inner consciousness.' Meanwhile, dependence on the group has developed." Zeitlin told me that he had found in his interviews with ex-Rajneehsees that they were "extremely psychologically regressed" and that their capacity to relate to others and articulate their feelings was "drastically reduced."
"These techniques, by themselves, are not bad," asserted Baran. "They are only bad when they are used to control and enfeeble people." The problem was that Rajneesh and his assistants were using these techniques "to get people to become followers."
As reported by Krishna Deva, the ex-mayor of Rajneeshpuram who turned state's evidence, Rajneesh was comparing himself to Hitler toward the end, stating that Hitler had been similarly misunderstood when he sought to create a "new man" (something Rajneesh also claimed to be doing). Rajneesh, like Asahara, had a medical facility in which deadly substances of various kinds were stockpiled, and were in instances actually deployed.
n a 1978 issue of the German magazine Stern, a woman named Eva Renzi recounted her experiences in a Rajneesh encounter group. "In the room were eighteen people," her account begins,
I only knew Jan, a fifty-year-old Dutchman. The leader sat down, after he had closed the thick sound-proofed door. Suddenly a woman hurled herself at another and screamed at her, "You make me sick. You are a vampire. I want to scratch your face, you filthy thing." She beat her ... . Meanwhile two women and a young man had got up. The young man threw himself on a girl of about eighteen, and boxed her on the ears with the words: "You are a caricature of a Madonna. You think you're better than us, don't you. You are the worst person here." And then, pointing at me, he said, "Together with you, you bitch. You've got it coming to you, too." The girl's nose was running with blood. She tried desperately to protect herself against the blows. Then the leader took charge: "You probably think that you have control over things. You have not even got control over yourself. You are under total control here."
Renzi was assigned by the group leaders to spend the night with the Dutchman Jan. However, after eating dinner she went quickly to sleep. "Next day, I appeared for the group punctually," she wrote.
I said a friendly "good morning," and icy silence answered me. I sat down. The leader asked what had happened in the previous 24 hours. Then Jan sprang up, pulled me up, and began uninhibitedly beating me. "You whore," he shouted, "you have humiliated me, you cursed woman, I'll kill you." I was horrified. My nose began to bleed. I shouted: "This is your problem, if your masculine pride is hurt." He beat me further. He tore my blouse and threw me on the floor. Like someone possessed he sat on me, beat me with his fists on my head, choked my neck, and shouted: "Say the truth, you piece of filth."
"What truth? Are you out of your mind, are you hypnotized?" I shouted. Suddenly he left me ... . I got up trembling, trying to stop my bleeding nose. "Is this a center for developing a crazy masculinity?" I asked. I thought the craziness had passed, and would go. Then first of all a man dived on me. "Exactly that," he said. "What did you think we're doing here?" Then two women grabbed me, and then the whole group.
"What happened next was like an evil dream," Renzi continues. "'Fight with us, you coward. Will you play holy in here, you whore?' someone said. I fled from one corner to another. They punched, scratched, and kicked me, and pulled my hair. They tore my blouse and pants off my body. I was stark naked, and they were so surrendered to their madness, that I was filled with death-anxiety. My one thought: to stay conscious. I screamed: 'Let me go. I want to get out of here.' At a signal from the leader they let me go."
Renzi concluded her account for the German public of her experience of Rajneesh group therapy techniques by saying: "This craziness garnished with sadism, this fanaticism with world-beating claims, had I not already heard it somewhere before?"

We've been busy 🙂 We dug a pond and what a job! We dug it under the rock and now have the waterfall going over the rock…very beautiful now that it's done!
This is a good picture of the rock deck we just put in. Going with the whole 'rock garden' theme. The yard is so much nicer now 🙂 Of course, many many gardens need to be planted to finish it off.
This is the walkway I built and put in with the slate from the fallen down barn…some of the slate could have been thicker but most of it was pretty good. I've planted irish moss between the stones and some alpine calamint. Both are supposed to be hardy enough for a walkway. Here's hoping!
Kiddo had a great time helping me out yesterday. His sisters weren't home so it was just us. He's a hard worker 🙂 Now he's looking forward to getting some goldfish for the pond.

Electricity theft is a shared problem for customers in the Nigerian electricity industry especially those on prepaid service plan. Most customers are faced with the challenge of paying more for electricity irrespective of whether it was consumed by them or not. Customers often complain of their meters reading very fast, and end up blaming it on the DISCOS, without first checking for the possibility of electricity theft in their homes.
Well, here are some simple Techniques for identifying Electricity theft in the home:
- Start by checking the electricity usage of every device and compare to the meter rate. From there it's a process of elimination. If the meter is registering more usage than you have devices for, then shut off all the breakers.
- If the meter stops, then turn on breakers one by one and compare the usage of that circuit that you measured with what the meter shows. This will identify the circuit that is using excessive power. Once the circuit is located, turn off all devices on that circuit to see it's a problem with a known device or if there's something unknown using power on the circuit.
- For a known device, double check every device when it's used individually against what the meter measures. If it's an unknown device, trace the circuit or consider disconnecting the line/load connection in the circuit to locate the device.
If after running these basic checks you find out the fault is not from your house, you may be a victim of electricity theft – You should contact your electricity provider, immediately.

Hello Everyone,
Guess whose words are these:
"Don't lose life working for a living"
Can you? Ok let me put a pause to this guessing game. They are mine! Sorry if it was in a bad taste but the words need thorough introspection. Let's do it:
I start with myself: Last year August I went to doctor after suffering for almost six months with pain in the elbow. After consultation and X-ray i found out that there was a serious swelling in the tendonitis due to excess work pressure accompanied by my neglect. The treatment course continued for an equal period of six months before returning to normalcy. Though it was not terminal in nature to be discussed on this platform but the severe pain did make me cringe in the course of discharging my duties towards family. Neglect was not worth.
This is exactly what most of…
