Food plays a huge part in the Jordanian culture. Jordanians love to eat and to invite people. When you get invited they will push you to eat a second or even a third plate. If you want to upset a Jordanian is by not eating enough. So be prepared!
Jordan, due to its geographical location has culinary influences from Africa, other Middle Eastern countries, and the Mediterranean.
If you are a food lover like us, then you should try one of the dishes on this list!
Bread will be served with almost everything you order.
Olive Oil you can find it on every table. It seems like Jordanians dip everything in olive oil.
Za’atar is wild thyme mixed with other herbs, sesame, and salt. Dip your bread into olive oil and then into Za’atar. DELICIOUS!
Hummus is a dip made from chickpeas that have been cooked and mashed, blended with tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and salt. We ate hummus at least 2 times a day when we were in Jordan.
Our absolute favorite Jordanian dish! You can not leave Jordan without trying Mansaf. Mansaf is a dish of rice, lamb, and jameed. Jameed is a dry goat-milk yogurt used to pour over the rice and lamb. This dish is garnished with bread and nuts.
Mansaf is important in Jordan, Jordanians make this dish to show their wealth. It’s also common to eat at celebrations and festivals.
We had the best mansaf in Amman.
Al-Quds Restaurant -Â Al-Madina Al-Monawara St 220, Amman, Jordan
Maqluba means literally upside down. Maqluba includes meat or chicken on the bottom, rice, and spices, all cooked together in one pot. Once the dish is ready, the pot is flipped over onto a big plate, so the rice stays on the bottom and the meat or chicken on the top. Maqluba is garnished with parsley and nuts.
We had a delicious maqluba cooked by Omar’s grandmother.
Falafel is a deep-fried ball made from ground chickpeas. You can eat them for breakfast or as a snack. Falafel balls are often stuffed into a sandwich.
We had the best falafel in Amman.
Hashem Restaurant -Al Malek Faisal St, Amman, Jordan
Musakhan is a Jordanian and Palestinian dish of slices of bread, chicken, and lots of olive oil. The ingredients are stewed together until the onion, chicken, olives, and bread are tender and the spices have blended and harmonized.
The taste will blow you away, it is sweet and sour. This dish is very popular in the winter.
One of our Uber drivers invited us at home to have musakhan with him and his family.
Another typical dish is mujadara, a mixture of rice, and lentils seasoned with lots of cumin. It’s also a favorite for vegetarians.
We cook it a lot at home because it’s easy to prepare.
6. Warak enab
Warak enab, are grape leaves stuffed with rice and meat, cooked in a giant pot. You can eat it cold or hot. This dish looks simple but takes lots of effort and time to prepare.
We had the best Warak Enab in Amman.
Sufra Restaurant – Al Rainbow St 26, Amman, Jordan
Kibbeh consists of meat, bulgur, and onion, formed in a ball shape. You can eat it as a starter or as a side dish.
We really love kibbeh!
We had delicious Kibbeh in Sufra Restaurant in Amman.
8. Shorebat addas (Lentil soup)
One of the most ordered dishes in restaurants is this lentil soup. This soup immediately heats you up and strengthens your immune system.
We love lentil soup and make it a lot at home during the winter season.
9. Chicken Liver
Commonly served as a mezze dish, along with dishes like hummus and moutabel, chicken livers is another Jordanian dish to complement your meal.
The chicken livers are typically sauteed in olive oil and seasoned with garlic, parsley, and salt. It’s not our favorite dish but Jordanians love to eat it. You can eat it as a side dish.
Zarb is a Bedouin Barbecue that is cooked underground for four hours. First, the meat is marinated with spices and placed on a tray with vegetables. Then the tray is placed into an underground oven that has been pre-heated. The oven opening is then covered with sheets of Aluminum foil and a carpet before being buried in sand and left for four hours. After four hours the meal is served.
This was one of our favorite dishes in Jordan!
We had a bedouin barbecue in Wadi Rum.
Sun City Camp – Wadi Rum, Jordan
This Arabic pizza is essentially a round of dough, topped with zaâ€™atar, olive oil, and can be topped with cheese, eggs, or meat. It’s baked in a brick oven.
You can eat this pizza as breakfast. We had one with za’atar and cheese in Amman and it was delicious!
Bait Al Manakish – Abu Azzam Commercial Complex, Mahmoud Al Thaher St 5, Amman, Jordan
Shawarma is a dish consisting of meat cut into thin slices, stacked in a cone-like shape, and roasted on a slowly-turning vertical rotisserie or spit. It can be lamb meat, chicken or beef.
We had a shawarma sandwich from Reem in Amman. It’s a very famous place. They serve more than 5000 sandwiches a day.
Reem Shawerma – All Kulliyah Al Elmiyah Al eslamiyah St 54, Amman, Jordan.
Two layers of pita bread, filled with minced lamb, onions, and parsley. The ara’yes are grilled so that it turns golden brown and crispy on the outside.
We had ara’yes in Aqaba.
Khubza & Seneya – An Nahdad St 18, Aqaba, Jordan
Kanafeh is made with white cheese, topped with crunchy pastry, then drenched in sweet syrup and topped with crushed pistachio and cashew nuts. The Kanafeh from Habiba Sweets in downtown Amman is DELICIOUS!
Habiba Sweets – Mohamed Taha Al Harahsheh Complex, Al Madinah Al Munawarah St 197, Amman, Jordan
Jordanian coffee, or Al-Qahwa, is made from coffee beans roasted very lightly or heavily from 165°C to 210°C and cardamom and is a traditional beverage in Arabian culture.
In Jordan, we learned how you offer coffee to your guests. You have to serve coffee with your right hand. Another rule is that coffee must always be served to your left.
Whenever a guest comes to visit, you must be ready with a cup of hot coffee because cold coffee is considered rude. Arabic coffee is a bit too strong for us but worth trying!
Jordanians drink mint tea after every meal for digestion. Sipping a cup of mint tea was our favorite evening ritual.
You can find a fruit juice stand on every corner in Jordan. We love to wander around with a fruit juice in hand.
We hope you enjoyed this list! Have you ever tried one of these dishes, or which one would you love to try? Let us know in the comment section below.

Swinney explains how the Tigers responded from that 2012 Orange Bowl loss set the stage for its current run
As Dabo Swinney watched from the sideline during the worst bowl defeat by any team in the history of college football, he never wavered from his plan and how he was going to turn Clemson back into a national champion.
In 2011, Swinney’s Tigers did some things no other team did in the previous 20 years at Clemson. They won the program’s first ACC Championship since 1991 and became the first Clemson team, and just the eighth overall, to win at least 10 games in a season since 1990.
But even with all that success, the season ended on a sour note. The Tigers lost four of their last six games to close the year, including an embarrassing 70-33 defeat to West Virginia in the 2012 Orange Bowl.
After the game, a lot of fans and the media bashed the Clemson program. They made fun of it and made it a joke. But Swinney said they never listened to all the outside noise. Instead, they kept their head down and continued to work.
“It was just one game,” he said. “If you let one game define you or one bad moment define you or destroy you … it is really how you respond to things in life. Bad things happen. Sometimes things just don’t go the way you plan them. I’m sure everything has gone according to your plan in life … like everything.
“It is how you respond. You get better. You grow. We had a lot to learn. We had a culture and a program where we were in the infancy stages of trying to get better.”
Swinney said after the Orange Bowl loss, he stuck to the plan and so did his players. They allowed things to develop and they continued to get better. They did not sit around and worry about what other people were saying. They moved on. They got past it.
They moved on to have an even better season the following year, winning 11 games and beating LSU in the 2012 Chick-fil-A Bowl in Atlanta. They followed that up with another 11-win season in 2013, including a victory over Ohio State in the 2014 Orange Bowl.
“Every great anything in life, whether it is a company, a football program or an individual, they all have one thing in common and that is resilience and perseverance,” Swinney said. “I can promise you, they have all failed. They have all failed big time. But it is the resilience, it’s the perseverance, it’s the will to keep moving forward, it’s the willingness to learn and develop and let those things develop you. I never wavered ever. Ever! We just went back to work. What’s next? How do we get better?
“That’s what was so great about the 2012 team. We won 11 games. We took the next step. We beat LSU. That experience helped us. It is not crazy to say. That is the reality. I do not think we are here today without that moment to be honest with you. It is all a part of your journey and that was just a part of our journey.”
Clemson is still in the midst of its journey as the Tigers, with a win over The Citadel on Saturday, can record their seventh consecutive 10-win season. Prior to the 2011 season, the Clemson program had just seven 10-win seasons combined.
The Tigers (9-1) also find themselves in a very familiar spot. They have already won their third straight ACC Atlantic Division title and because they’re No. 2 in the latest College Football Playoff Committee Rankings, they’re in position once again to make the CFP for a third straight year.
“This year, I don’t know how it is going to end. I hope we win another national championship,” Swinney said. “Wouldn’t that be awesome? We would be in three national championships in a row and win two of them, how awesome is that? Why not?
“That is how I think. That is how I dream. If we are going to dream, let’s be extravagant about it. You don’t low ball it. You never know, we might just do it. But if we don’t, we will pick ourselves back up, go back to work and try to get better, and go do it again. That is how I go about everything. I always have. I have never been any different. I have had a lot of failure. I have had a lot of criticism and a lot of … those things have never changed how I think.”
Swinney says he tells his players all the time that there is only one thing they can control. They can’t control what they look like. They can’t control where they are born or who their family is or what house they grew up in. They don’t control any of that.
“But you control how you think,” he said. “You control your attitude. You control your mindset. You control your drive, your courage, your heart, you control those things. Don’t let other people or other things take that away from you. If you can maintain that, then sooner or later, you will breakthrough in whatever it is you are doing.
“(The 2012 Orange Bowl) has been a long time … it has been seven years ago and we have won a lot of ball games, but it is also a good reminder, and you listen to all of those talk shows and you look at all the internet reports and read all the clippings, you know it is just a reminder that you can’t let those things paralyze you. You have to be able to stay focused. Put your blinders on, and go about your business.”
With a win on Saturday, Clemson can improve to 80-14 overall since the start of the 2011 season, Alabama is the only other program with at least 80 wins in the last seven seasons.
“We have had unbelievable success,” Swinney said. “There is really only one other team that’s been consistent and that is Alabama. We have won a bunch of games the last seven years, and Alabama has won a few more. So now it is a different deal. Even when you have had great success the criticism is still going to be there. Just like when you don’t have a lot of success, it is just the way it is.
“You give somebody a pot of gold and they are going to ask, ‘Where is my silver?’ If you give them a pot of silver, then it’s ‘where is the gold?’ That is just life. That is just how it is. You just embrace that. You don’t worry about those things. You just stay focused and you have a set of core values that you believe in and you let that be your compass in everything that you do. And if you are not successful, you can look in the mirror and know you did the very best you can and at the end of the day that is what it comes back to – the man in the mirror and how you think.”
Swinney believes Clemson is where it is today because of how the players and the coaches responded and handled the 2012 Orange Bowl loss. Instead of feeling sorry for themselves, they went and looked at what happened and figured out how they can learn from it and get better.
That team and that game set the stage for all the success, including last year’s national championship run, the program has had since.
“That is why we are here. We have had a bunch of young people that have come through here and they have bought into that,” Swinney said. “They have been able to do a lot of things that a lot of people did not think we could do.
“That is what is fun about this team. They just think they are supposed to win. That is a great quality to have. And when we don’t win, nobody is panicking or pointing fingers. Just congratulate the other team and move on from there.”

It's a shame that they don't ship international, is it that hard to get German optics in The States?
My experience was ok, the scope was like new and it had the original instruction-manuel from the G3/SG1 and of the scope with it delivered.
The scope was allready mounted on the correct mount and it was proper installed.
I also ordered a Hensoldt FERO Z24 at an other dealer, www.vollmer-armory.com , but the site seems to be offline at the moment.
The scope that I received from Vollmer was a complete set :scope, cleaning-kitt, case, illumination-unit for about 320 euro.

Modern Warfare has gotten a variety of new modes and playlists for multiplayer, giving people more ways to play after the April 21 update landed across PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
With Modern Warfare Season 3 very much in full swing, developers Infinity Ward have pushed through a playlist update that’s injected more new content into the game.
This patch introduced a new Operator as well as a revamped playlist that keeps the fighting at a close distance. For players who wanted more intensity in their games, Infinity Ward have bringing Cranked back to Modern Warfare for more high-octane action.
Cabin Fever playlist and Cranked
The new playlist restricts the mosh pit with small-to-medium-sized 6v6 Multiplayer contests where there’s bound to be high kill-counts throughout every game.
The new Cabin Fever 24/7 playlist brings classic multiplayer modes to smaller maps like Rust, Shipment, Shoot House, Hideout, and Hackey Yard.
A lot of players know these maps for the chaotic action that springs on a dime, but the devs have also brought back Cranked, a mode where people have to constantly keep in motion to get kills before they blow up for not collecting eliminations fast enough.
New weapon bundles & Operator
In terms of new content to unlock, Modern Warfare has gotten two weapon bundles along with a brand new Operator that takes after a member of the U.S. Special Forces. The new character’s name is Ronin, who can be purchased and used in Multiplayer or the Warzone battle royale.
For the two weapon bundles, CoD players can pick up the ‘Fool’s Gold II’ and ‘Toxic Ooze’ packs that contain individual Legendary blueprints. Fool’s Gold II comes with the Deep Pockets blueprint, as well as a print for a ‘Bankroll’ epic weapon, calling card, emblem, and spray.
Meanwhile a green weapon variant is included in the ‘Toxic Ooze’ bundle. The ‘Sludge’ Legendary weapon has a biohazard emblem on the face of the gun with green waste shown on the top of the gun.
Gunfight Trios tournament
Gunfight Trios has made its return to Modern Warfare and was immediately included as a new tournament option in multiplayer.
Teams of three players go up against 15 others on maps like Cargo to battle for dominance, with winners receiving exclusive cosmetic items as a reward.
April 21 update patch notes

The former flagship store of a longtime Richmond hardware business is making way for a global grocery chain’s second area location.
Demolition got underway this week at the vacant Pleasants Hardware store at 2024 W. Broad St., where a Whole Foods store is planned as part of Sauer Center, a years-in-the-making 200,000-square-foot development from the real estate arm of neighboring spice maker C.F. Sauer Co.
Crews with Fulton-based S.B. Cox were busy Thursday taking down the building that had served as Pleasants’ home base since 1975. Sauer purchased the local chain in 1989 and sold it last year to Virginia Beach-based retailer Taylor’s Do It Center, just before the Broad Street location closed.
The 45,000-square-foot Whole Foods store will mark the chain’s second Richmond-area location, adding to its West Broad Village market in Short Pump.
L.F. Jennings, based in Falls Church with an office in Henrico, is the contractor on the Whole Foods building, which is designed by Henrico-based Freeman Morgan Architects. L.F. Jennings’ local work has included the Wegmans-anchored West Broad Marketplace center in Short Pump.
The Whole Foods building is scheduled for completion in fall 2018, according to L.F. Jennings’ website.
The rest of Sauer Center will add retail and office space in multiple buildings, including a pair of old Sauer-owned warehouses along Hermitage Road behind the company’s headquarters and spice factory. Sauer Properties also owns the former Virginia Department of Taxation building to the west of the Whole Foods site.
Sauer Properties has said it plans to own and lease all the buildings within the development. Lee’s Famous Recipe Chicken, whose building at 2200 W. Broad St. Sauer Properties does not own, will continue to operate within the new retail and office center.
Sauer Properties’ other developments include the 175,000-square-foot Stuart’s Crossing Shopping Center at Brook Road and Virginia Center Parkway. Its real estate portfolio includes several holdings in Carytown, including Need Supply Co.’s recently expanded storefront.

The intriguing aspect about the movie is that people never know if Willy (father) is telling the truth or not. This way the story is on going captivating cycle of stories and new characters transforming it into something addicting. The idea in Burton’s film is the inception of stories and what about them is based on reality thus making the audience continuously fixated with the issue, a strong example of hypnotization being used in Burton’s film is the last scene in the bathtub, a simple dialog with a straightforward. Death of a salesman consists of a basic simple story with predictable components thus making readers think logically towards the importance of its existence. Why does an average family trigger so much significance?
Stardust memories: The film now has become an essential part of Woody Allen’s work and will be used as a film that captures a certain turning point of his career. Given that adds to the value as the fan base will look at the film very differently than they did back then. ‘“Stardust Memories” is a disappointment. It needs some larger idea, some sort of organizing force, to pull together all these scenes of bitching and moaning, and make them lead somewhere.’ - Roger Ebert January 1, 1980
How has context influenced the presentation of some of the main Themes and issues in Baz Luhrmann’s modern film version of “Romeo + Juliet”? Baz Luhrmann’s contemporary film interpretation of William Shakespeare’s timeless tragedy Romeo and Juliet, explores the resonating social and religious values inherent in both the Elizabethan era and the 20th century, allowing us to understand the significance of contextual differences in influencing the presentation of universal issues. Film techniques are utilised to emphasise the modernisation incorporated in Luhrmann’s re-exploration of the Shakespeare’s play, and enhances the audience’s understanding of religion in the texts as well as the conflict between love and hate amid social chaos, that presides within the 16th and 20th centuries. Baz Luhrmann establishes the 20th century context as a world of moral corruption that echoes the social disorder in Shakespeare's play, in which the feud between the rich and powerful Capulet and Montague families embodies a hate that fuels the ongoing social chaos within the appropriated contemporary setting, “Verona beach”. Influenced by the modern day context, Luhrmann adopts the indiscriminate usage of guns in place of sword fighting to depict violence and lack of social order caused by an “ancient grudge”.
David Denby creates a strongly negative view of a popular movie. He first builds a strong ethos via a wide range of background knowledge, builds the common ground between readers who might holds different views and him through logos, and uses great connotation and influential vocabulary and metaphors to validate his illustration by pathos. In terms of ethos, with valid academic background from Columbia College and Stanford University, David Denby is a well-known film critic of the New Yorker. His identity suggests his authenticity in film reviewing and background in the film industry. For instance, he mentioned in the second paragraph that, “The ‘All about Eve’ business with dancers preying on one another was retained from a discarded screenplay by Andres Heinz, who worked on the final version of ‘Black Swan’ with Mark Hyman and John J. Mclaughlin.” By showing the audience insiders’ insights from the film industry, Denby shows his familiarity with
Larkin highlights the absurdities of the advertisements on show in ‘Essential Beauty’, which offer apparatus that in actuality, are never as utopian in the harsh realities of this world, as described by Larkin presenting the extravagant adverts which appealed to the target audience by captivating and manipulating them in order that they should purchase the products on offer. Dannie Abse uses his poem, ‘Welsh Valley Cinema’, to reveal how the audience in the cinema were enticed by the films and went to the cinema in an attempt to escape their mundane lives; however they have the struggles of returning back to reality after their sensational experience. The poem begins in stanza 1 by describing ‘frames as large as rooms’ and ‘block the ends of streets with giant loaves’, these ideas link in with the overpowering and dominant vibe that the adverts gave off, since they were so overshadowing that they simply dominate the outdoors as if to emphasise the power of advertising, however what is offered is just a picture of illusion. A further implication to how the adverts prevailed the outdoors is ‘Screen graves with custard’, where people are declared to forget about the difficulties of life such as death and are instead granted ‘custard’, yet the consumers should not be so wound up in the fantasy world of adverts where everything is perfect and should be more worried what is beyond the advertisement and what is right in front of them, which is the truth of real life struggles. Larkin is perhaps using this to rebuke the attitude many had towards the advertisements that were suspected to be genuinely tempting, though in reality the temptations were glorified and therefore when obtained were little like what the consumers expected.
Lars Von Trier Lars Von Trier, an important and prominent Danish Auteur director once said in an interview that “for (him), stealing from the cinema is like using letters of the alphabet when you write”. The films of Lars von Trier show that he has had many influences in crafting and producing his films. The given quote helps to understand his approach to film and how he adapts film language, and even creates his own, in order to delivery an intended message to the audience. To be able to understand what is impressive able von Trier’s approach to films and what makes him an Autuer director, we need to be able to understand his influences, which are wide and extensive, so as to be able to comprehend their impact on his style of directing and the structural, technological and thematic explorations in his films. Von Trier was known to be more consistent as a director than he was with his visual style.
The film makes you think about what is really happening and what is only in Jacob’s mind, therefore the narrative style itself could be a representation for what’s happening inside Jacob’s head. It also educates the viewer about Jacob’s life before the war, which explains why Jacob acts the way he does now. The choppy narrative style of the film does a great job in drawing the viewers in. The quick flashes of graphic scenes not only capture the viewers attention, they also make the viewers feel emotions such as worry, fear, or even compassion for Jacob. The movie’s opening scene is of Jacob and his fellow soldiers being attacked during the Vietnam War.
Shantel Wilson English Essay 2 Adaptation is the taking on of new skills or adjusting your own to make your environment suitable to live in. When making a book into a feature film there certain aspects of a book that are changed to fit all into a movie while maintaining the integrity and keeping the moral, plot, and meaning of the book. The book Pay It Forward was turned into a movie and of course additions and omissions were made but the plot and moral of the story remained the same. When comparing the book to the film the first thing to notice that was dramatically different was the name and description of the teacher. In the book his name is Ruben St. Clair and is a forty four year old black male who is also a war vet meanwhile the movie has him as a white male with burn scars all over his face named Eugene Simonet.
Also the documentary has to take the audience on a journey, emotionally or mentally, throughout occurrences in the characters lives. Thirdly there must be a good closing of the film that pays off for the characters and the audience. When we watch movies or TV shows or movies we know that they are fictional dramas. We also know that they are scripted shows which can manipulate the way we think and feel about the film. The producer does this to position us in a specific way.
Stanley James Granz writes about the origins of postmodernism in his book A Primer on the Postmodern: “Many historians place the birth of the modern era at the dawn of Enlightenment... it became the God of human intellectual quest to unlock the secrets of the universe in order to master nature for human benefit and create a better world”. (Granz, 1996) It is important to familiarize ourselves with Enlightenment in order to understand postmodernism. The term is used within the European philosophy and refers to the time we know now as the Age of Reason. An example of the quizzical, curious state of minds of people living in this era can look no further than the first encyclopaedias, which were compiled and published during this period. Rather than be content with what history had taught them, they would seek the truth, rather than settle for superstition and fear.

Sushi is on the way to the Park Boulevard West building along the trolley tracks in the East Village. The owners of The District are venturing into sushi to help fill a culinary gap in the neighborhood; the same reasoning that prompted them to open their sandwich shop on Market Street in 2012.
Co-owner Michael Blair told Eater that addition to serving sushi and craft beer, The Parlour will also be a wine bar and offer meat and cheese plates, salads and soup. The 1,110-square-foot space will be open for lunch and dinner.
Their beer and wine license may not go through until May or June, but they should be up and running with food later this month. Blair, who sits on the board of the East Village Association, says that though they're still focused on strengthening the neighborhood's food scene, he and his partners expect to eventually branch out beyond downtown.

MARRERO, La. — LSU may be faltering late in the season, but linebacker commit Michael Divinity hasn’t lost faith.
Divinity, a 4-star linebacker and the fifth-rated prospect in Louisiana, remains solid on his commitment to LSU despite the Tigers dropping back-to-back games to Alabama and Arkansas.
In fact, he maintains the utmost confidence that LSU is bound for a rebound.
“Everyone has their games, and in those (last) two games, Alabama came out on top and Arkansas came out on top,” Divinity said Wednesday after receiving his Under Armour All-American jersey. “LSU is going to bounce back. I promise you that. They’re going to bounce back.”
Divinity pledged to LSU early last month over the likes of Texas A&M, Arkansas, UGA, Florida, Ole Miss, Mississippi State, South Carolina and Tennessee.
Among the reasons why the John Ehret High School standout remains intrigued by LSU is his opportunity for early playing time.
Divinity will graduate in December and plans to enroll early at LSU, which he hopes translates into early playing time.
“There’s definitely an opportunity there,” Divinity said. “From talking to (defensive coordinator) coach (Kevin) Steele and (defensive line) coach (Ed) Orgeron, I can’t wait. I’m going to graduate early and get a great start for spring ball and hope I can start as a true freshman.”
Since committing, Divinity said Texas A&M has continued to make a push for the linebacker.
Aggies defensive coordinator John Chavis, who held the same position at LSU from 2009 to 2014, and secondary coach Terry Joseph have spoken to Divinity about committing to A&M, and also bringing along teammate De’Jon Harris.
Divinity said he hasn’t decided if he’ll visit Texas A&M.
“I’m still committed to LSU at heart,” he said. “I’m solid right now. Texas A&M is talking to me, trying to get me to switch over. Right now, (Harris) is committed to Arkansas, and whatever he chooses, I support him because he’s my family.”
As for Divinity’s own interest in A&M, he said: “Right now, I don’t know. But time will tell.”
Divinity will make an official visit to Colorado along with his teammates Harris and Caron Baham, a Missouri commit.
Divinity is rated as the No. 4 outside linebacker in the nation.

Wet, and in some cases wet and freezing, weather in all California growing regions this year should produce gaps, said Doug Ranno, chief operating officer and managing partner of Salinas, Calif.-based Colorful Harvest LLC.
The industry was in the midst of one of those gaps the week of March 26, and forecasts for more rain promised more gaps, Ranno said.
“There are windows where there’s traditionally a lot of fruit available, and there won’t be this spring,” he said. “People are going to have to have to get used to prices being higher.”
On March 28, the U.S. Department of Agriculture reported $14-16 for flats of 12 1-pint containers of medium and large strawberries from California, up from $13-14 last year at the same time.
Shortages were coming at the worst possible time, said Cindy Jewell, director of marketing for Watsonville, Calif.-based California Giant Inc. — right before Easter, which falls on April 8 this year.
“The estimates are for really good production, but for right after Easter,” Jewell said March 27. “This week and next week will be a little dicey.”
In addition to the moisture, cool temperatures were slowing the growth of fruit in late March, Jewell said.
Jewell said upward pressure on price would be tempered by the knowledge that highly promotable volumes were just around the corner. California Giant is encouraging retailers to think of Easter as a launching pad for aggressive spring promotions, once the sun comes out and volumes start hitting.
It was hard to know when markets would stabilize, Ranno said. A “good run” of dry, sunny weather was one prerequisite, he said.
According to The Weather Channel’s March 29 forecasts, Watsonville was expected to get rain March 31 and April 4-6; Santa Maria March 31 and April 5-7; and Oxnard April 6-7.
Quality was good in late March, Ranno said, but in many cases fields were too wet for pickers to get to them.
“There’s nice, red fruit hanging in all regions, but it’s hard to get out in some cases,” he said.
Jewell also reported excellent quality.
As of the week of March 26, Mexico and Florida had effectively finished and Colorful Harvest was sourcing the majority of its strawberries from Oxnard and Santa Maria, Ranno said.
Light volumes were shipping from Salinas/Watsonville, he said. Those volumes would pick up steadily through April.

I open my refrigeration, no more food left again. Time to go do some shopping again tomorrow. Luckily, I do have some frozen meals in the freezer, which I batch cooked them about a few weeks ago and put each portion in a takeaway box or a freezer bag. Then, I put them in the freezer for an easy, quick meal later when I don’t feel like cooking or running out of food again, but don’t have time to go shopping. I take a box of chicken green curry out of the freezer and put it in the microwave for about 4-5 minutes. In the meantime, I add a good amount of water in a pot and bring it to a boil. Add the Thai rice flour noodles into the boiling water. Lower the heat to medium heat and boil them for about 2-3 minutes. Keep stirring them to loosen them up. After 2-3 minutes, I turn off the heat, remove the pot from the heat and drain the noodles. Then I add cold water into the pot and place the noodles back into the pot with cold water in it, to cool the noodles down and to let them expand their texture. Thai rice flour noodles are the only noodles that you need to let them cool down in cold water before you can eat it. Then I drain the noodles and let them sit to dry for about 3-5 minutes. By the time the noodles are ready, so the chicken green curry. I then take the box of chicken green curry out of the microwave, transfer the content into a big bowl and add the noodles. Mix everything together and eat. It’s yummy!
The sun starts shining a lot now. Luckily, I did have the blinds installed yesterday. So I pull down the blinds to block the sun from coming into the studio. That’s better. And by the time I finish writing a blog post which I’m going to do in a minute, the sun will already subside. I turn on my laptop and start writing this blog post. After this, I will finish reading the novel. I did not finish it earlier today because I took a nap. When you read constantly, your brain gets tired. So, it needs some rest. When I am done with the reading I may feel in the mood to continue to work on my manuscript. Or maybe, I will watch a good film instead.
I sometimes like to make Thai iced coffee when I feel like drinking delicious drink for the summer.


A State-of-the-art Early Learning Center Now Occupies the Site of the Abandoned Project
Just recently, families, community leaders and public officials celebrated the grand opening of a state-of-the-art early learning center, providing education and care to 198 children from birth to age 5, in the Upper Clinton Hill neighborhood in Newark’s South Ward.
However, the site of this facility, 30 Demarest Avenue, has a troubling past.
As noted in a 2005 NYTimes article, this area was designated for a once-promised brand, new University High School. As a result of that designation, and the eminent domain policy that existed at that time, the land was flattened, and residents were displaced. Adding insult to injury, the high school was never built, the area was abandoned and unsafe–leaving residents frustrated. However, in 2018, a new promise to the Clinton Hill neighborhood came to fruition. In a massive effort that included a collaboration between community leaders, the Maher Charitable Foundation and full support from Mayor Ras J. Baraka, the area has been salvaged and turned into a modern, innovative hub for the community’s tiniest learners.
Speakers at the grand-opening event underscored how this new investment in the Clinton Hill community aligns with their shared commitment to ensuring that every child in Newark gets off to a safe and healthy start in life and that long-time residents of Newark benefit from renewed interest in the city.
Mayor Ras J. Baraka, had this to say:
“I am proud to see such a modern, beautifully designed facility built in the heart of the Clinton Hill community. This center represents a course correction on a failed promise made decades ago. It represents the effectiveness of collaboration between the community, the Maher Charitable Foundation, Newark City Hall and so many others. And it serves as another testament to the incredible resilience of our City. This early learning center will have an integral role in shaping the minds of our youngest Newark residents, in a caring, safe and creative environment that they deserve. My administration will continue to provide any support needed to ensure the success of this center in the years to come and encourage similar meaningful initiatives to come forth and help move Newark forward.”
The center was designed in collaboration with two experienced early childhood providers, La Casa de Don Pedro, the city’s largest community-based early childhood provider, and Clinton Hill Community & Early Childhood Center (CHCECC), which has operated a high quality early childhood program in the neighborhood for more than 30 years. Maher Charitable Foundation constructed the center with a nearly $20 million investment.
M. Brian Maher, Chairman of the Maher Charitable Foundation, paid homage to the community for their their unwavering push to restore their neighborhood:
“We at Maher Charitable Foundation are honored to join together with local community leaders to rectify a failed promise from over 20 years ago. Together, we believed that this center could serve as the physical cornerstone of the neighborhood revitalization program being pursued by Clinton Hill Community Action and others. This facility provides a beautiful, comfortable, and safe place for children to receive quality care and to play and learn. This facility should serve as a model across the state and across the country. I would encourage corporations, foundations and others who have the means to invest in local communities like Clinton Hill to seek out opportunities to do so.”
The new building enables CHECC to expand its PreK services – serving an additional 45 children and moving all 150 children out of temporary classroom units. It also enables La Casa de Don Pedro to provide much-needed care and education to 48 children from birth to age 3 in the neighborhood. Clinton Hill Community Action, the nonprofit community development organization working to revitalize the neighborhood, will manage the facility and lead the broader effort to showcase the new center as a model for NJ’s expansion of high quality early childhood education.
Longtime resident and now Executive Director of the Clinton Hill Community Early Childhood Center, DeNiqua Matias, focused on the community impact during her remarks:
“This building is a dream come true. We are now, for the first time, able to serve children and families in a building designed especially for their education and care. It makes a difference for the children, their families, the teachers and the entire community.”
The center was designed by Rich Alderiso of DI Architecture Group and built by Donnelly Construction and features:
• 40,000 square feet of learning space
• 16 classrooms filled with natural light
• Inner courtyard play area
• Multipurpose room with 200-person capacity available for community use
• Family Childcare Hub & Resource Room
• Commercial kitchen with state of the art equipment

About the Maher Charitable Foundation
Since 2009, the Maher Charitable Foundation has invested in high quality early childhood programs, and advocacy for making those programs more widely accessible, affordable to families, and of higher quality. In addition to helping to design and underwrite the Pre-K Our Way advocacy initiative that resulted in expansion of New Jersey’s high-quality pre-K to 180 school districts, the Maher Charitable Foundation has funded the expansion and construction of three state-of-the art buildings to provide child care, Early Head Start and pre-K to children birth to age 5 in Newark and Passaic. The mission of this NJ-based, family foundation is to improve vulnerable children’s life chances by increasing their opportunities to access high quality early childhood education.

First annual Vishnevafest Brings Unique Companies to Moscow
By Ryan Wallace
With a trio of performances ranging from traditional to theatrical, the second evening of the 1st annual Context: Diana Vishneva Festival offered an eclectic roster to the Russian audience. With a change of venue, at the Gogol Center in Moscow, the event began softly to the sound of piano and ended to the booming sound of applause.
Opening with a contemporary duet, one of the UK’s best contemporary dance companies, the Richard Alston Dance Company, set the stage for the evening. Entitled “Unfinished Business”, the duet was choreographed to one of Mozart’s final sonata’s K533. Composed in the latter end of his life, the piece took advantage of the emotive adagio, incorporating classic ballet technique and lyical movement in a silently graceful duet. Following Mozart’s cues, the pair advanced as the music led and were sent back to the beginning of their dance when the piano sonata repeated. Creating beautiful lines, while also bringing out the emotional depth of Mozart’s sonata, “Unfinished Business” perfectly blends the classical nature of the music and the modern contemporary technique. Imbuing a graceful femininity to the male moves, while still remaining overtly masculine, the contemporary movement allowed for freedom to interplay between strict gender guidelines—a motif that continued throughout the night.
Following the duet, the entire company took to the stage in an ethereal performance entitled “Illuminations”. An homage to celebrate British composer Benjamin Britten’s centenary, “Illuminations” set to motion the intensely tumultuous love affair between 19th century poets Arthur Rimbaud and his mentor Paul Verlaine. Famously known for his contributions to the decadent movement and influence on modern art and literature, Rimbaud’s passion and pain were embodied in the dancer’s contemporary motion. Breaking down the expectations of the audience, the piece defied tradition in innovative and inspiring ways. Bringing forward a male primary to center stage, disavowing the stringent tradition of gender roles in the theatre, and integrating stunning emotion into their movement through a blend of contemporary and ballet techniques, the Richard Alston Dance Company gave the Moscow audience a modern way to look at traditional theatre. With a strong male lead at the helm of the piece, and a depiction of a provocative historical love-affair, there was no surprise that the performance ended in a standing ovation.
Changing the ambiance and appearance of the stage, the next piece “Rooster” by the Suzanne Dellal Center and the Israeli Opera brought the audience into the illusive land of dreams. A multi-dimensional play, choreographed by Israeli dance choreographer Barak Marshall, “Rooster” blends theatricality, comedy and high-energy dance into a wondrous performance that pushes senses to new heights. A stark contrast to the technique of ballet, the staccato movements of the Israeli dance instantly grab the audience’s attention as carnivalesque music paints a picture of a dreamland. With impressive timing and near-flawless synchronizations, the intricate and concise isolations showed an impressive technique all its own. And just as sharp in movement as it was in wit, “Rooster” offered the audience as much an opportunity to laugh as to revel in the unique nature of this contemporary dance style.
Bringing not only different, but unique dance companies to the Russian audience, the Context: Diana Vishneva Festival is pushing back the veil of contemporary dance. Bringing stark contrast to the Moscow theatre scene, the festival is quickly becoming a hub for unique contemporary choreographers and companies alike.

According to a press release dated April 23, 2009, the complaint alleges that Oppenheimer Core Bond Fund, while representing itself as conservative and appropriate as “a long-term investment” and as “part of a retirement plan portfolio” was exceeding its own risk controls by investing in high-risk, highly leveraged bets that directly conflicted with its stated conservative strategy. The Core Bond Fund lost more than 35 percent of its value in 2008 and another 10 percent in the first three months of 2009 alone.

The Fund was also offered by several retirement plans and annuities. Defendants are charged with violations of the Securities Act of 1933 and the Investment Company Act of 1940 for issuing false and misleading statements as to the Fund’s overall strategy and investment objectives in the Fund’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The case continued in a related filing also filed in the U.S. District Court of Colorado, Ferguson, et al. v. OppenheimerFunds, Inc. et al., case number 09-CV-01186. According to the Amended Order signed on September 29, 2009, Dr. Pattison is appointed Lead Plaintiff for the Class and Dr. Pattison’s selection of the law firm of Labaton Sucharow LLP as Lead Counsel and The Shuman Law Firm as Liaison Counsel for the Lead Plaintiff and the Class is approved. On October 13, 2009, the Lead Plaintiff filed a Consolidated Class Action Complaint, and the defendants responded by filing two motions to dismiss on December 3, 2009.
On March 2, 2010, the Court entered the Order signed by Judge John L. Kane granting the unopposed motion to consolidate. Specifically, according to the Order, In re: Oppenheimer Champion Fund Securities Class Fraud Class Actions, Civil Action No. 09-cv-00386-JLK-KMT (consolidated with 09-cv-525-JLK-KMT) and In re Core Bond Fund, Civil Action No. 09-cv-01186-JLK-KMT (hereinafter referred to as the Fixed Income Fund Actions) and Donald L. Cohn and Karen S. Cohn v OppenheimerFunds, Inc., et al, Civil Action No. 09-cv-02738-JLK-KMT (hereinafter the Cohn Action) are hereby consolidated for discovery purposes only, pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 42(a). The law firm appointed as Lead Counsel in the Fixed Income Fund Actions (Lead Counsel) shall be principally responsible for overseeing and conducting the discovery in these consolidated actions.
In May 2010, the case was stayed pending mediation, and on July 22, 2010, the stay was lifted. On May 19, 2011, the parties filed a Stipulation and Agreement of Settlement, and an unopposed motion for preliminary approval of a class settlement. The proposed settlement is in the amount of $47,500,000. The settlement was preliminarily approved on June 1, 2011. The final settlement hearing was set for September 30, 2011.
On September 30, 2011, Judge John L. Kane approved the distribution plan, the motion for award of attorneys' fees and reimbursement of expenses. The settlement was approved and all claims asserted in the Consolidated Class Action Complaint were dismissed with prejudice and without costs to any party except as otherwise provided in the Stipulation.

For example, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) will look into companies that routinely pay out rebates late. By law, companies must send rebates by the time promised or, if no time is specified, within 30 days. And state officials are filing complaints against companies that fail to track or pay rebates properly.
Rebate offers can be a double-edged sword. They’re great for stimulating sales on your high-cost, slow-moving products and boosting new market entries.
But fraud risk is ever-present. Plus, if the rebate strategy is too successful, it can cut into your profits.
To improve your rebate experience, follow these four tips:
1. Offer rebates during tough times. Discounts do better when the economy is slow and worried consumers are more sensitive to price.
2. Take them online. Consumers are more receptive to rebates online, according to the Promotion Marketing Association of America (PMAA). Nearly one-third of Internet users respond to online rebates, compared to about 5 percent of respondents offline.
3. Participate in bundling programs. Join with other businesses to bundle offers into a rebate booklet. Shoppers redeem them en masse. And books make it easier to track redemption.
4. Build a defense to fraud. Reject claims that don’t meet your terms or conditions. (The feds report an increase in counterfeit or stolen “proofs of purchases” being submitted in bulk.)

What makes the islands of Tahiti so unique and romantic?
With air smelling of sweet Tahitian vanilla and breathtaking sunsets bursting with colour, the islands of Tahiti are undeniably one of the most romantic places in the world.
In addition to the destination’s natural beauty, tranquility, and privacy, the islands of Tahiti offer an array of diverse experiences combined with rich Tahitian culture. Immersed in a world of majestic mountain peaks, turquoise waters and white-sand beaches, visitors to the islands create memories through authentic experiences that cannot be found anywhere else in the world. For centuries, the Tahitian people have referred to this as “Mana.” Mana is a life force and spirit that surrounds and connects all living things.
The islands of Tahiti are much closer than many think, just an eight-hour non-stop flight from Los Angeles with daily departures on Air Tahiti Nui. Receiving as many tourists in an entire year as Hawaii gets in about 12 days, and only a few more hours in the air, makes the islands of Tahiti the perfect honeymoon getaway.
There are a total of 118 islands and atolls spread out in five archipelagoes that comprise this South Pacific paradise. The three archipelagos most sought by visitors are the Society Islands, comprised of Tahiti, Moorea, Bora Bora, Huahine, Raiatea and Taha’a; The Tuamotu Atolls or “Tahiti’s Strand of Pearls,” include the atolls of Rangiroa, Manihi, Tikehau, and Fakarava; and the Marquesas, or “The Mysterious Islands.”
So what makes the islands of Tahiti so unique and romantic?
Intimate resorts, small peaceful villages, and miles of quiet pristine beaches explain why Tahiti is ranked #1 in the world for “alone time.”
The world’s most perfect hotel room for couples! Traditional thatched-roof bungalows built with all the amenities of a first-class hotel room are perched above the turquoise lagoon waters.
2017 marks the 50th anniversary of their invention in the islands of Tahiti. In many of the rooms, tropical fish swim below as visitors can look through the glass floor or coffee table. Bungalows feature a private balcony with stairs to the warm water below creating the perfect place to relax in the sun, jump into the warm water, or enjoy the sunset views. Surrounded only by water and sky, you can enjoy both breakfast (often delivered by canoe) and the sunset (seemingly delivered by the heavens).
Embrace and share in the warmth and welcome of your Tahitian hosts whose love for their islands is seen through music, dance, and flowers.
Experience true relaxation and rejuvenation at one of the many luxurious Polynesian spas while nurtured by the tropical ambience. Enjoy spa treatments for two at one of the many resort and cruise ship spas. Surrounded by a backdrop of natural beauty and floral fragrances, there is no better setting for relaxation and rejuvenation. Enjoy herbal rain showers, body wraps in banana tree leaves, or fresh-flower baths.
The world’s most romantic voyages depart every week for Tahiti’s most beautiful isles. Voyage within the legendary South Pacific aboard luxurious cruise ships, super yachts, or freighter passenger that travel between Tahiti’s most beautiful islands.
Enjoy the perfect place to do everything or nothing at all. Jump in the lagoons by diving, snorkeling, or boating or explore the islands by safaris, hiking or shopping.

Depending on the size of your tank, pressurized CO2 may be overkill. I would say if your tank is 30 gallons or under you just don't need it. Yeast setups work fine. For larger tanks if you are willing to drop $300 or so it is fantastic.
Two 1 GA desktops, a 5 gallon, a 2.5 gallon, a 10 gallon, a 20 gallon, a 25 gallon, and two 75 gallon tanks, all planted.

Financial writing at its best helps you find or notice transcendent experiences, to do more than just make or save a dollar for the sake of money.
And for me, the transcendent experience, in a nutshell, is feeling that you are connected to something larger than yourself, that there’s some order in the universe.ALAN LIGHTMAN
One night, the physicist and author Alan Lightman was in his boat off the coast of Maine. All alone, he decided to cut the engine and turn off the running lights, enveloping him in deep silence and utter darkness. Then he lay down in the boat and gazed up at the pinhole fires of the stars above.
As told to Sean Carroll on the Mindscape podcast: “I felt like I was falling into infinity. I felt like I had lost all sense of my body or time or space, and I was just part of the cosmos. I felt a connection to something much larger than myself, and I felt that the infinite expanse of time before I was born, and the infinite expanse of time after I will be dead, all of that seemed compressed to a dot.”
I bet most of us have had similar transcendent experiences, whether with the assistance of drugs or not.
I’ve felt it at times while running, when the world without and within seems to simultaneously expand and contract. I know my city more intimately — the wildlife, the trees, the neighbor’s garden — while at the same running longer distances expands the size of the city I know. Internally, I come closer to my spirit while understanding how large it can grow. All together, there is an indisputable feeling of oneness — an infinite world outside of me mirroring and infinite world within.
From these experiences we can derive new lessons, new ways of thinking. For me, it has been to accept pain and exertion and connecting to the wider world through motion. For Lightman, it is to better understand and appreciate the secrets of the universe.
The belief that you are connected to something larger than yourself can lead to a more satisfaction in all areas of life, including money. We can frame it as a shift from the materialistic norms of society to a greater sense self and purpose, which leads to more positive financial outcomes.
It is transcending superficiality — the need for a faster car, bigger house, etc. — to live with purpose. It is discarding the egotistic self (I) for a greater meaningful self (we). The competition between these two is often why people make mistakes.
There is an irreducible opposition between the deep transcendent self that awakens only in contemplation, and the superficial, external self which we commonly identify with the first person singular.THOMAS MERTON
Instead of using money, you are cultivating it to support your values, that which is bigger than yourself.
That elevated feeling, the sublime, of a more lasting nature, is why research shows experiences bring more happiness to people than possessions.
Here are some financial experiences that can feel transcendent as we defined above:
To live with a sense of meaning every day.
The ability to actually enjoy the fruits of your labor, rather than want only more.
To do work that you want, not that you have to.
Never having to rely on anyone else.
Managing money as if it is not for you but for a greater cause.
Balance between happiness now and happiness later.
To humbly invest money, recognizing you cannot predict much less control the market.
An optimistic view of the future, that you are a vital part of something bigger — human progress — so you are eager to achieve your goals and help others.
Expressing gratitude for the things and life you have rather than tirelessly spending in an effort to change it.
Success is getting what you want; happiness is wanting what you get.DALE CARNEGIE
Can financial writing lead to transcendence?
At its core, financial writing is meant to help people make better financial decisions. So, the question can seem a little too deep.
But when you think about how those financial decisions can determine our quality of life and how money can be focused on meaningful purposes, it’s worth asking. As a writer, you should guide people toward those ends.
No one is going to read a blog or article and feel fully transcended. Again, maybe if drugs are involved. But at its best, financial writing can show you the door. And that is not a small thing. All the reader has to do then is walk through, to make the decisions with the knowledge of what bigger, happier things are possible.
Five pieces of financial & non-financial writing and one reason why I recommend reading them.
I admire Tony Isola for his dedication in helping teachers achieve the financial well-being they all deserve. I envy him for concise yet full writing style. Here, he gets personal with a list of his most valuable lessons in life. They are worth anybody to learn and live, too.
Philosophy in the time of COVID
From infection rates to economic and market trends, data has been top of mind during the pandemic. Eric Weiner, author of “The Socrates Express: In Search of Life Lessons from Dead Philosophers,” asks us to instead search for wisdom. He deftly shows us how we can take the ideas of famous philosophers to overcome the adversity of these trying times.
7 habits of highly effective runners
From a writing standpoint, this is a great example of repurposing a well-known work, “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.” But Mario Fraioli is a better writer than just that. This list is chock full of information and inspiration, which you can apply to other parts of your life.
This article from Adam Grossman has good strategies for being productive but without all the stress that often comes with competing priorities. But what makes it great is that he backs it up with a lot of useful research. Take note!
” ‘Write whatever comes into your head,’ she said. ‘Don’t think, just write.’ Aviad tried to stop thinking. It was very hard.”

To protect the cargo ships essential to the continuing existence of the fledgling Coalition of Planets, the captains of the United Earth's Starfleet are ordered to interstellar picket duty, with little more to do than ask "Who goes there?" into the darkness of space.
Captain Jonathan Archer of the Enterprise seethes with frustration, wondering if anyone else can see what he sees. A secret, closed, militaristic society, convinced that their survival hangs by a thread, who view their neighbors as a threat to their very existence – the Spartans of ancient Greece, the Russians of the old Soviet Union, the Koreans under Kim Il-sung – with only one goal: attain ultimate power, no matter the cost. The little-known, never-seen Romulans seem to live by these same principles.
The captain realizes that the bond between the signers of the Coalition charter is fragile and likely to snap if pushed. But he knows that the Romulans are hostile, and he believes they are the force behind the cargo ship attacks. If asked, Archer can offer no proof without endangering his friend's life.
To whom does he owe his loyalty: his friend, his world, the Coalition? And by choosing one, does he not risk losing all of them? What is the solution to a no-win scenario?

Fourteen months ago I published my first article on LinkedIn. I was pushed by the desire to inspire others and serve more. I am encouraged by the response I get from my readers and people reaching out to me to let me know that they have been touched by what I have written.
At the beginning of this year I committed to myself to publish one article per month; so far so good. I also decided that I will be sending to those who subscribe, a weekly email with my “Tip of the week”. However, up until today, I have found all sorts of “good” reasons to not start the weekly email broadcast: my website is not ready, I don’t have time, I need people’s permission to send the first email, what am I going to talk about every week, people won’t like it,…, and many more excuses.
In reality, I was letting my fears hold me back. Fear of being judged, fear of the effort required, fear of being disappointed and disappoint my readers, etc… But I think my biggest fear is what Marianne Williamson’s quote below summarizes:
Can you relate to this? Have you let your fear of being successful hold you back? What project or action have been delaying up until now? My message to you in this very first issue of my brand new tip of the week series is simple:
Whatever your plan, Start now! Don’t wait to be great!
Call to action
- Take your journal now and write down your goal
- Set deadlines to complete your project as well as intermediary milestones
- Start taking action TODAY!
- Hold yourself accountable and get an accountability partner or a coach
- Review your progress every day and celebrate each and every wins, small or big
Peace, Joy, Love
