It took a little grit for me to finish this one. I think it could have been trimmed back a bit and retained its message. Also, the author stumbles into a bit more humble-bragging territory than necessary. Still, there are some very good, strong points that have been researched, and I‘d venture to say that you can use the information to work on your self-motivation.
This quote is why I (and many others) believe in the importance of continuous learning and reflection. “As a colleague of mine likes to joke: some people get twenty years of experience, while others get one year of experience...twenty times in a row.”
Do you guys ever have days where you think maybe you should leave your life behind for something else? New career. New way of living. #currentfeels
I‘m needing this lesson on Grit from Angela Duckworth this week. #currentlisten
Sometimes you just need the ultimate you are amazing, you can run those miles, lift those weights, be bad ass at your job pep talks.
Audiobooking through the weekend.

Work has just turned into a 💩🔥 , and I‘ll probably be up all night marking assignments as a result. So, today I‘m using all my self-compassion to say #HeyLove, you got this. Oh, and lots of 👆🏼, lots and lots of 👆🏼, and ☕ or maybe 🍷
Sorry ladies, the real world is kicking my butt this month - I‘m going to throw my TBR at it 😊
"In sum, no matter the domain, the highly successful had a kind of ferocious determination that played out in two ways. First, these exemplars were unusually resilient and hardworking. Second, they knew in a very, very deep way what it was they wanted. They not only had determination, they had direction.
It was this combination of passion and perseverance that made high achievers special. In a word, they had grit.”
#Nonfiction no 5 of 12 in 2018
Duckworth explores grit from multiple perspectives, including its components (interest, practice, purpose, hope) and changeability. I‘ve always had a lot of grit but feel I‘ve lost it lately. This helped me see that it‘s still there but certain aspects have taken a hit. While not a how-to, this book can certainly serve as a guide to understanding and increasing grit.
Listened to this one. Some interesting points. Makes me wish I had done a few different things to foster passion and grit in my kids.
Dear morning person,
I have great admiration for you. The way you excitedly get up and prepare for what the day has in store for you. Please give me tips. I find getting up in the morning so hard to do. I force myself to open my eyes and drag myself out of bed. Any kind of help will do.
Night owl in need,
Good ideas in it, but I found you got everything you needed to know from the conclusion. There were interesting anecdotal evidence stories brought up but I found only added one person's side. I found some parts to be contradictory or at least bordering on it.
I've been meaning to post this for days but honestly forgot about it. I read these during the holiday break and loved them, well liked Wonder Woman. Grit was an amazing read. As a person who's easily deterred, this book was sorely needed. It covers how "grit" is mainly passion and perseverance and how we can all benefit from being more gritty. I highly recommend the audio.
I immediately thought of myself when I heard this portion of the book because it fits to a tee. Growing up I was a great student, skating through high school and my first couple of years of college. Unfortunately, things got tough academically, personally, and financially and not being used to adversity it made sense to give up. I'm listening to this with the hope of learning to develop "grit" in myself and The Kid as well.
Still trudging through this one... It's not bad but I'm probably the least "grittiest" person I can think of. I tend to let go when things give me trouble but I'm reading this to maybe help with that...
Somewhere between a pick and a so-so. I liked this idea that we rely too heavily on talent and not enough on hard work and effort and practice, but the book gets repetitive. There is value here, it just could have been a lot shorter.
Did any other Littens follow the Western States 100 mile ultra this weekend? Couldn't help thinking about the grit of all the runners to persevere through tough conditions. This book is fascinating.
I hadn't gotten my mail from the office for a week and I was surprised with all of these goodies!!! So excited. My #BOTM books, #LibertysGiveaways, and my own endeavors were there! I heard about the book Grit and the research that was used from the #podcast Freakonomics and I need it in my life! 😊 🎶 I'm so happy 🎶 thanks so much @Liberty ! #BookHaul #Bookmail
How true is that :-) really good book so far :) have you read this book? What's yours take on it?


With just a couple of days left until the IPL 2023 kicks off, Mumbai Indians' captain Rohit Sharma was answering one-on-one questions from journalists during MI’s pre-season press conference earlier on Wednesday, alongside coach Mark Boucher. When asked about whether or not Arjun Tendulkar is slated to make his debut for Mumbai Indians, the Hitman had a simple remark, “Good question. Hopefully, maybe.”
Arjun Tendulkar, the son of legendary Indian cricketer Sachin Tendulkar, has been a part of the MI setup since 2021 when he was initially bought at the base price of INR 20 lakhs. The youngster who currently plies his trade for Goa in domestic cricket didn’t get the chance to play in the first phase of IPL 2021 in April/May and got injured midway through the second phase of the season in September/October, thus ending any hopes of making his MI debut back then.
In 2022, there were many rumours and clamours among the fans about Arjun Tendulkar’s potential debut for Mumbai Indians but the team management instead preferred giving a chance to the likes of Hrithik Shokeen and Ramandeep Singh ahead of Arjun.
Mark Boucher, the head coach of Mumbai Indians also left a hint on when Arjun Tendulkar might make his debut for the franchise. He said, “Arjun is just coming off a slight little injury. So, he is going to be playing tonight and hopefully, we can see him do what he can do. I think he is playing quite a bit of cricket in the last, sort of, 6 months. It’s been very good for him as a bowler so yeah, if we can have him available for selection, it'll be very good for us.”
Mumbai Indians are scheduled to play their IPL opener against Royal Challengers Bangalore at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. Captain Rohit Sharma will be looking to marshal his troops and start their campaign with a win against a very challenging opponent away from home.


Providing sidewalks and bike lanes on this segment of SW Capitol Highway has been a community priority for more than 20 years. This segment, between SW Garden Home Road and SW Taylors Ferry Road, hosts over 8,000 vehicles per day, is served by TriMet’s #44 bus line, and currently has no sidewalks, bike lanes, pedestrian crossings or standard stormwater facilities.The City’s project development process for this corridor began with the Capitol Highway Plan in 1996 and continued with the SW Capitol Highway Plan Refinement Report in 2011 and the Capitol Highway Corridor Stormwater Concept Design in 2016. In each of these cases, the City faced challenges in developing a buildable project with limited funding and challenging physical constraints. Now, with Fixing Our Streets funds available to leverage other funding from PBOT and Environmental Services, the City can move forward. The project is the single largest enhancement project funded by the Fixing Our Streets gas tax approved by voters in May 2016.
As soon as funding was secured, PBOT staff gathered input on this long-awaited project from the Southwest Portland community, including a July 30 neighborhood walk hosted by the Multnomah Neighborhood Association (MNA) and several meetings with the MNA Capitol Highway Subcommittee and the Southwest Neighborhoods, Inc. (SWNI) Transportation Committee. PBOT also released a series of cross section concepts in fall 2016 for public comment and presented these concepts to the city’s Pedestrian Advisory Committee and Bicycle Advisory Committee.
PBOT developed a preferred roadway cross section concept based on this feedback and past planning efforts including the 2011 SW Capitol Highway Plan Refinement Report and the 2016 Capitol Highway Corridor Stormwater Concept Design. Available funding is not sufficient to provide complete sidewalks and bike lanes on both sides of the roadway, so the proposed cross section includes compromises that provide safe, functional facilities at lesser cost.
Community feedback revealed a strong preference for continuous sidewalk on the east side of the roadway to access the viaduct to Multnomah Village and the walking route to Barbur Transit Center, and this has been incorporated into the design. Continuous bikeways in both directions are also proposed, including a northbound “protected” bike lane separated from the roadway by a planter strip of low shrubs and occasional stormwater facilities. An earlier proposed buffered bike lane was removed from consideration based on comments preferring additional protection from motor vehicles, which is also consistent with city and national design guidance for bike lanes on major roadways. On the steeper west side of the roadway, a separated multi-use path is proposed to host southbound bicycling and bi-directional walking.
Environmental Services will partner on stormwater management efforts along the roadway, and look for opportunities to improve drainage issues in adjacent neighborhoods within the four basins (see map) in the project area. The project, which is early in the design stage, may include features such as neighborhood stormwater facilities, green streets, ditch enhancements, and underground infrastructure.
The project design will continue to be refined through the end of 2018. Construction will begin in 2019.
Please contact the Project Manager with your comments and questions:

We are in lock down during the coronavirus pandemic. It’s April 2020 and we have just cancelled the three hoarding support groups that were due to run this month in Berkshire. We are essentially in quarantine and being asked to stay at home. The media has been crammed with news of supermarket shelves being stripped of toilet rolls, eggs, pasta and paracetamol amongst other essential goods. Reports of hoarding mentality fill our newspapers and social feeds. Is it hoarding or stockpiling? It’s not the right time to argue this point. All I do know is that our behaviour right now is as a result of the unknown, of uncertainty and fear.
“Historically we have hoarded as a natural response to being unable to gain easy access to certain foods and essentials, of being ‘stuck inside’ during bad weather. There are generations of ‘just in case’ hoarders hateful of waste and fearful or running out” – Extract from Jo Cooke’s book Understanding Hoarding
We are anxious, feeling confined, worried about finances, isolated and with social distancing, physical contact has been restricted and we feel disconnected from our friends and family. There’s a void, there’s a panic, and a fear. We have lost our sense of control. We want to feel safe. Control and lack of control play a huge part in our behaviours and our habits. Tins in our cupboards, bread in our freezers, hand gels and tissues provide comfort and control in a world that feels uncomfortable and out of control. We feel safer with stuff.
The current crisis has made us recognise that there is a propensity for all of us to hoard. Hoarding is a recognised mental health disorder and between 2-6% of the population are affected by this disorder. Hoarding can be triggered by many factors including trauma and bereavement, depression and grief.
I would hope that as we gain some insight into our own behaviours during these challenging times, that we will appreciate and recognise how difficult it can be for someone who exhibits hoarding tendencies. As we come through this crisis together let’s also come together to conquer hoarding with kindness and compassion.

Argentina win junior hockey title
July 11, 2005 10:56 IST
South American champions Argentina scored a last gasp-goal to win the Rabobank Junior World Cup hockey tournament shocking Australia 2-1 in the final at Rotterdam on Sunday.
Pedro Ibarra, the man with a golden arm, scored from a penalty corner in the 70th minute to help Argentina win the title.
Ibarra, who had scored the golden goal in the team's 2-1 success against Spain in the semi-finals, repeated the performance by converting a set-piece that was completed after the full-time hooter.
Argentina displayed tremendous resilience as they turned back a 0-1 deficit, after Australia's Colin Hennessey converted a penalty stroke in the 34th minute for his 15th goal of the tournament.
Lucas Vila flicked in a penalty stroke to put Argentina on level terms after 40 minutes.
Thereafter, the match swung from end to end with both teams surviving some close calls.
If Argentina forwards fumbled from close, the Aussies found Juan Espinosa a difficult man to beat at the other end. The Argentine goalkeeper brought off several great reflex saves to deny the Australians.
With both teams having equal share of the exchanges, it was anybody's game until Argentina received a penalty corner seconds before the close of regulation period and Ibarra came up with a withering shot to the board for the match-winner.
Argentina, who had finished runners-up to India in the 2001 World Cup at Hobart, thus maintained their unbeaten record in the current event during which they played eight matches, winning seven, including 3-1 against Australia in the Super 12 league and drawing goalless with Belgium.
The final standings:
1. Argentina; 2. Australia; 3. Spain; 4. India; 5. The Netherlands; 6. Germany; 7. Pakistan; 8. Korea; 9. England; 10. Malaysia; 11. Belgium; 12. Egypt; 13. South Africa; 14. Poland; 15. Chile; 16. Mexico.


When a co-worker came to Robin Whatley and told her it looked like rain in the CSU Bookstore, she wasn’t expecting an indoor storm.
“He told me it looked like rain, and I thought he meant outside. I went to the front and saw water pouring from the ceiling lights and fans. It was pretty crazy,” said Whatley, a recent CSU graduate and student manager at the bookstore.
Whatley was describing the scene Thursday morning around 10 a.m. when a water line began spilling water through the ceiling and into the main checkout area of the bookstore.
John Parry, bookstore director, explained the cause as he understood it.
“There’s a water line that runs up there, and someone doing work upstairs turned on a water valve that wasn’t capped,” Parry said.
Student Supervisor Kristol Taylor was caught off guard by the sudden torrent of water that started while she rang up purchases at the cash registers.
“We were ringing up the registers and (a customer) said, ‘do you know that you’re leaking’ and everything just started crashing down,” Taylor said. She said it only took seconds to go from a slow pour to a downfall.
Store employees began hurriedly searching for ways to keep the water from ruining merchandise and equipment.
“We got everybody out and started moving registers,” Taylor said. “We started moving all the merchandise out of the way and covering registers with plastic bags.”
Parry said the employees did a good job of protecting the store and keeping the damage “minimal.”
“By the time I got here, employees had gotten buckets, covered registers and moved merchandise,” he said. “We have some cash registers we’re still looking at. The ceiling and carpet are wet. Some drawers (of merchandise) were filled with water, so we had to throw that merchandise out.”
Parry said that since the bookstore is set to begin a remodeling process in a few weeks, the ceiling will probably be replaced as part of the remodeling process.
Students needing to buy books and supplies can still do so; the bookstore remained open during the flood and is still open for business.
There was one silver lining to the whole situation, Parry said.
“We’re just glad it didn’t happen last week,” he said. “We would have been in trouble with the number of students in line.”

Hello there, I used to be somewhat a competitve runner. Now, too many pounds later and too many excuses kept me away. Now I'm hoping that running with group will renew my running and former passion.
Fantastic group of runners, mixed levels allowing to push towards a nice workout pace.


Plans for a new Museum of London on the site of derelict Smithfield market buildings have received a £180m boost by the City and the mayor.
The City of London Corporation announced it would give £110m towards the project’s £250m cost. The mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, also pledged £70m.
Khan said the museum would be a jewel in London’s crown. “From the outset of my mayoralty, I pledged to make culture a core priority and I’m proud that this is the biggest ever cultural investment made by any mayor of London to date,” he said.
“The world’s greatest city deserves the world’s greatest museum, which is why I’m delighted to announce £70m of funding for the new Museum of London.”
The museum was established in 1976 and tells the capital’s story from 450,000BC to the present.
It has more than 6m objects and is held in huge regard but has had a longstanding problem: location. It is housed above a busy roundabout near the Barbican and can be difficult to find unless you know where you are going. It also desperately needs more space.
The plan is to move it to West Smithfield, next to the new transport hub being created at Farringdon because of Crossrail.
The new building would save what are the last remaining derelict Victorian structures in central London and give the museum 8,000sq m (86,000sq ft) of permanent gallery space and 1,500sq m of temporary exhibition space.
Using a design by architects Stanton Williams and Asif Khan, the plan is to retain much of the fabric of the original market buildings. The museum entrance would be filled with light, architects say, because of a “landmark dome” while spiral escalators would go down to a vast underground chamber housing the galleries.
The museum hopes it will double its number of annual visitors from 1 million to 2 million.
Mark Boleat, the chairman of the City’s policy and resources committee, said: “It is widely recognised that the current building at London Wall does not allow the museum to expand and flourish, and that the former market buildings are in a poor state of repair.
“The approval of this significant contribution makes good business sense and is a major step forward towards the creation of a new Museum of London, both iconic in design and unparalleled in the way in which it tells the capital’s vibrant history.”
The museum’s director, Sharon Ament, said the pledges were “fantastic news” which provided a springboard for the fundraising drive.
“Working with our design team we can now move forward confidently with detailed plans for the new museum and remain firmly on target to open the new museum in 2022.”
The museum hopes to make its planning application in 2018.
The departure of the Museum of London from the London Wall site would then free up the area for a proposed new concert hall, a new home for the London Symphony Orchestra under Sir Simon Rattle. That plan is still a long way off with Rattle last week acknowledging it was an if, not a when.

Martinsville Cup schedule to mirror those used elsewhere this season
NASCAR announced Tuesday that “enhanced” two-day weekend schedules would return this year and be used for 12 of the 36 Cup Series races.
The first is this weekend at Martinsville Speedway. Qualifying for the STP 500 will be held Saturday after the Camping World Truck Series race. Qualifying was held on Sunday for last October’s playoff race.
The schedules feature two days of Cup action to go with three total days of on-track activity (Camping World Truck Series teams practice Friday at Martinsville, for example). The weekends also will have a rotating schedule of Cup drivers participating in interactive opportunities for fans.
Enhanced schedules are set for both Martinsville races and the following race weekends:
Richmond I and II, Kansas (May), Chicagoland, Kentucky, Pocono (July), Watkins Glen, Bristol (August), Indianapolis and Talladega (October).
The concept of such race weekends for Cup was implemented in the second half of last year at Martinsville, Indianapolis, Pocono and Watkins Glen.
Also, the Kansas race in May, the September Richmond race, the Kentucky race in July, and the Bristol race in August had Cup cars on track two days those weekends.

A while ago I showed you a sneak peek of this living room I was working on and it’s finally done! Note these photos were taken by me!
Photos by Maria Killam
The existing panelled wall was oak and did not match the new hardwood floor so we first painted it the colour of the rest of the room (BM Everlasting or Thousand Islands). Then we decided it really just needed to be the trim colour as panelling usually either is either wood stained or the colour of your woodwork.
So here’s the room before any furniture was purchased. This piece of art we moved to the hallway because it was too big for the mantle
This client had lots of her own artwork but most needed re-framing, so we took about 10 pieces to my framer Kent Picture Framing here in Vancouver on the West side and chose new mats and frames for all of it. (I forgot to take a before photo of the frame on this one)
I propped it up on the mantle with another little treasure we found in my client’s house.
We would have loved to hang drapery in this room but there was a bulky heating unit at the bottom of the window so we installed a boxed pleat valance with banding to tie in with the cranberry armchairs. I loved this rug my client actually found on her own from a local carpet store in Richmond.
We replace the old sconces with these from Schonbek to tie in with the fireplace cover.
My client Savannagh had always wanted a camel back sofa so we had it custom made (along with the English arm chairs). I think this sofa is my favourite piece in this room. It’s covered in Orvis fabric from Robert Allen (one of my favourite workhorse upholstery fabrics).

Salesforce to buy Tableau, bolstering analytics offering
Salesforce has announced a deal to buy analytics platform Tableau in an all-stock deal.
The leading CRM provider will pay $15.7 billion for the company, in a move that will bolster Salesforce's insight and visualisation offering.
The acquisition is the latest in a string of deals that demonstrate the martech industry's increasingly large bets on analytics.
Last week Google announced its intention to buy insight platform Looker, which will be integrated into Google Cloud.
The acquisitions could bring new tools to marketers looking for more effective ways to analyse and act on the data they are collecting. While data gathering has become significantly easier and cheaper, there have long been concerns that the tools allowing for useful visualisation and interpretation of that information have failed to keep pace.
Commenting on Salesforce's purchase, Tableau president and CEO Adam Selipsky said: "Joining forces with Salesforce will enhance our ability to help people everywhere see and understand data."
Salesforce chairman and co-CEO Marc Benioff added: "We are bringing together the world's number one CRM with the number one analytics platform.
"Tableau helps people see and understand data, and Salesforce helps people engage and understand customers. It's truly the best of both worlds for our customers, bringing together two critical platforms that every customer needs to understand their world."

Indonesian coffee tasting / Finissage Kebun Sejarah
Sunday 28th November, 2021 from 15.00 – 18.00h
Finissage of Kebun Sejarah with lecture and Coffee tasting
As the final culinary part of the Kebun Sejarah exhibition, we will be hosting a special coffee event ngopi dulu (going for a coffee) on Sunday, 28 November 2021. The afternoon addresses the growing Indonesian barista culture in which coffee bars are emerging everywhere serving regional coffees.
We are exploring ways to invite baristas from different countries. In addition to an Indonesian barista and various coffee beans from different Indonesian islands, we are thinking of inviting Ethiopian coffee specialist Kaffa Coffee with Ethiopian coffee ceremony, Vietnamese drip, Turkish ibrik coffee or coffee from Guatemala. The finissage will probably also include a lecture by a historian on the ‘Columbian Exchange.’
Detailed information about this finissage will follow shortly. See also the pages about the sambal tasting on Sunday 31 October 2021 and the Kebun Sejarah cooking workshops for children on Thursday 21 October 2021.

Ego-bashing trip to Davos
The World Economic Forum has pretty much always been, as some media have called it, an ego trip for the Forbes 500 Richest List. This year it has been an ego-bashing trip – not something everyone wanted to sign up for.
A magnet for the rich and powerful, the World Economic Forum in the Swiss ski resort of Davos has always been the flame for the moths of global finance and politics, but the times, they are a-changing.
The world economy is in chaos, banking is in crisis and the mood in Davos is more sombre than suave. The media headlines echo this sentiment: ‘Chief executives make their Davos excuses’ (Financial Times); ‘Caviar days are over for Davos crisis debate’ (AFP); ‘A chill wind blows through Davos as global crisis bites’ (Telegraph UK)
As the financial movers and shakers struggle to find a way out of this crisis, they are conveniently forgetting the fact that most of them could be named responsible for causing it in the first place. Ironic that criticism from them is still in abundance, and criticism, according to Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, is best avoided.
“Only a year ago from this rostrum we heard the words of American representatives about the fundamental stability and cloudless prospects of the U.S. economy. But today the pride of Wall Street and the investment banks have practically stopped existing. For the past year they have had to acknowledge losses far exceeding their profits for the past quarter of the century,” said Putin.
As this year’s keynote speaker, he took thirty minutes to put forward his ideas on aiding the global economy:
“One must not allow oneself to skip down to isolationism and unbridled economic egoism. Even if amid crisis a certain strengthening of protectionism becomes inevitable, we will still need to keep the sense of proportion. The second possible mistake would be excessive interference into the economic life of the country and the absolute faith into the all-mightiness of the state”.
This statement definitely hit the bullseye with some of the world’s top economic and industrial movers-and-shakers in the audience.
“Mr. Prime Minister, you spoke of the dangers of excessive government involvement, and I found myself really struck by that comment and surprised to hear it,” noted Michael Dell, Dell Computer CEO. “Six months ago I would have never imagined hearing that comment from yourself, but I have to say I completely agree with you”.
This year’s WEF was certainly unlike the forums of previous years. Many CEOs dropped out, the new U.S. Administration was virtually unrepresented, and tensions were clearly high, as arguments took place both off and on stage.
Tear gas fired during violent Davos protest
Protests at the Davos World Economic Forum have turned violent in Geneva, Switzerland, with police using tear gas to disperse demonstrators.
It is reported that a crowd threw bottles at police when they were blocked from entering the city centre.
A police spokesman estimated that there were 350 to 400 people in the crowd. He said there have been 16 arrests, though dozens more protesters were briefly detained.
The rally, which was not authorised by city authorities, was organised by a coalition of leftists from trade unions along with anarchists known as the Black Bloc.
The forum, held in the elegant Swiss ski resort Davos, is an annual event. This year it is being held amid the global economic crisis and growing unemployment.
Participants at the forum – the world's business and political leaders – are increasingly blamed for the current state of world affairs.
Violent protests are rare in Geneva, though in the past decade a number of rallies have been staged by opponents to globalisation.

From the homemade to the seriously sophisticated - these are the best Lego cars ever
London taxi maker bought by Chinese for £11m
The maker of London’s iconic black cabs, Manganese Bronze, has been sold to Chinese car manufacturer Geely for £11.4m.
The deal ends months of speculation surrounding the debt-ridden company, which went into administration last October with the loss of 99 jobs.
Pricewaterhouse Coopers, the administrators put in charge of finding a buyer for the beleaguered company, agreed the deal overnight. It will safeguard the jobs of those remaining at the company with Geely, the firm’s largest creditor, saying it will continue to assemble the TX4 in the West Midlands.
It’s the first bit of positive news for Manganese Bronze as there were fears the company would be broken up or see production moved to China. TX4s are assembled from kits made in China which are then shipped across the world.
Geely, which also owns Volvo Cars, already owned a 20 per cent stake in Manganese Bronze. The company was plunged into difficulties last year with the discovery of a major steering fault which halted production and led to a severe cash flow crisis. More than 400 taxis had to be recalled.
The company hasn’t made a profit since 2007 and made a loss of £3.6million in the first half of 2012.
The news this morning will thus be a welcome relief for the 107 employees at the Coventry plant. It also ensures the iconic black cab lives on to fight another day.

Our camp uses a composting toilet system, which requires very little water and is excellent for soil regeneration. Such a system utilizes decomposition and evaporation to process waste. What is not evaporated, we mix with wood chips. This remains an active process in which aerobic bacteria transform the waste into fertilizing soil.
Due to the important contribution of the bacteria, the final product is non-harmful and safe to use. This is why we spend a great deal of effort to ensure a hospitable and warm environment for the process, especially through our very cold weather.
All of our water is locally-sourced from the Moho River. It is UV triple-filtered for use in our cabanas, main lodge, and garden.
These washcloths are suitable for several uses, biodegradable, compostable, and made from 100% botanic fibers. In their compressed form, they can fit in the palm of your hand. However, when used with water, they expand to full-sized washcloths.
The lodge exhibits a variety of clever construction and building methods. In addition to the guest suites, much of the site areas and buildings are creatively housed within reused shipping containers- though you would never be able to tell from the beautifully designed interiors.
Again, the use of blue jean pants as insulation material is also characteristic of the unique construction. This lodge has created a truly enchanting, admirable, and serene space for all who come to visit.
The lodge entrance way mixed reused, crushed asphalt with the base gravel, in order to reinforce the non-paved driving trail.
Our camp is thoughtfully designed to take full advantage of available natural light, within our domes. Not only does this serve to save on indoor lighting, it provides for a magnificent outlook on our extraordinary surroundings.
On one of our roofs, we maintain this rooftop garden. Not only does it allow for a more efficient use of space, but it also serves to help cool the roof in the summer, as rooftop gardens can provide better insulation than standard tar or gravel use, and help to remove heat from the air.
In addition to our lodge’s hybrid energy system, we have completed the construction of 16 stand-alone indirect solar water heating systems of 150 liters each. To date, the use of this system has succeeded in saving 370 MWh of electricity.
As well, we have created a reverse osmosis water treatment plant, with a capacity of 80 liters per minute. This has allowed us to clean over 14,000 m3 of water, to date.
This lodge uses an extraordinary amount of reclaimed materials in its construction. Seen here are some of the sample builds, displaying the incorporation of reclaimed barn wood and tin roofs into the base designs. As with many of the other site features, this provides for a wonderfully rustic and raw accent to the grounds.
We use a set of thermosiphons to heat water for the camp. The water supply travels through the system, being heated by the energy transferred from the sun to a solar collector. Even in cold areas, solar energy may be harnessed and utilized toward a variety of applications, such as this one.
Our camp uses a biofiltration system to allow for the treatment and reuse of wastewater from the bath, including showers and toilets. The system is comprised of a bioreactor and 5 layers set for water filtration, including a layer of California worms. As with our composting toilets, bioreactors use microorganisms to degrade pollutants biologically, and thus release water that is safe to be placed back in the soil.
Most of the vegetables and fruits we eat at the lodge are harvested in the garden by our gardeners. SHI (Sustainable Harvest International) also provides workshops in this garden, and guests can volunteer if they choose to. We have some animals, two horses that substitute as lawn mowers, and pigs that help with composting.
The lodge uses a number of reclaimed water troughs around the site, as large planters for a variety of flowers and plants. They fit in well with the surroundings, and create the aspect of raised flower beds.
Our cabanas mimic the thatch homes still built in the Toledo district of Belize. The thatch roofing helps regulate inside temperature, and provides extremely excellent insulating properties. This makes it a perfect feature for keeping rooms cool in the summer and warm in the winter. The thatch is made from a local plant called bayleaf which, if harvested at the correct time, can last up to 30 or 40 years.
Our septic system is a composting system whereby the water flows into a septic tank, and then to soak a field. These fields are contained in large block vats, lined with several feet of PVC pipe, then covered with earth and banana trees. The banana roots form a dense mat which then absorbs the water and nutrients from the vat, creating a closed system of bio and phyto (plant) remediation (restoring balance). As a result, our land and river are waste free.

The Dallas Fed Manufacturing Index is a manufacturing-focused index of business activity
The Dallas Fed conducts its Texas Manufacturing Survey monthly, and it’s similar to many of the other regional Fed surveys, like the Empire State Manufacturing Survey, the Chicago Fed National Activity Index, or the Philly Fed. These are all diffusion-type indices that ask respondents whether a certain metric is increasing, decreasing, or staying the same. It subtracts the percentage of people reporting a decrease from the number of people reporting an increase to come up with the results. In other words, if businesses are asked about their hiring plans, and 30% say they intend to add to payroll, 45% say they’re holding steady, and 25% say they’re decreasing payroll, the index would be 30 – 25 = 5. That’s generally how all diffusion indices work.
The Dallas Fed survey asks about output, employment, orders, prices, shipments, inventories, capacity utilization, prices, capital expenditures, and some other indicators. It asks respondents for their six-month outlook and usually about a subject in depth.
Highlights of the survey
The Broader Business Conditions Index fell to 4.4 after rebounding to 6.6 in June. Overall, it looks like growth in manufacturing is back to its spring highs. Production fell from 17.1 to 11.4. Capacity Utilization fell 3 points to 12.2, and shipments rose to 17.7—the highest reading in six months. Prices paid and received were flat.
On the labor front, the employment index rose to 9.3—its highest reading in nearly a year. Plus, 18% of firms reported increasing headcount, while 9% reported layoffs. Most manufacturers noted no increase in compensation costs.
Impact on mortgage REITs
Interest rates are the biggest driver of mortgage REIT returns, and nothing in this report would encourage the Fed to change its current course. The employment indices were encouraging, and the prices paid and received were flat. This is consistent with the Fed’s current path: tapering quantitative easing as the labor market improves and leaving short-term rates as low as it dares as long as inflation behaves. Still, it’s been a painful adjustment period for the REITs—as the ten-year bond has sold off, mortgage REITs, like Annaly (NLY), American Capital (AGNC), MFA Financial (MFA) and Hatteras (HTS), have under-performed.
Increasing rates are a double-edged sword for the REITs. On one hand, continued low rates mean their cost of leveraging their portfolio is low, but on the other hand, they take mark-to-market hits on their portfolio even as interest margins increase. Although increasing rates will decrease prepayment risk for the REITs, increasing real estate prices would allow some FHA borrowers to refinance into a conforming mortgage and save on mortgage insurance payments. Prepayments will negatively affect the mortgage REITs as they’re forced to reinvest into lower-yielding paper.
The continued volatility in the bond market will negatively affect mortgage REITs, as mortgage-backed securities generally perform best in a stable interest rate environment.

Threat of imports brings added fears to area cotton farmers
By WAYNE BOARD
A-J Farm Editor
As if South Plains cotton farmers didn't have enough to worry about, the threat of imports is again looming on the horizon.
In fact, says Carl Anderson, the market is already beginning to adjust U.S. prices to a level that is in line with possible imports which could start hitting in March of next year.
''A big factor that market forces are dealing with is the expected depletion of Step 2 funds that support user certificates,'' says Anderson, Texas Agricultural Extension Service economist.
''If these funds are used up as projected by the end of this calendar year, then Step 3 import provisions will likely trigger import quotas.''
In the USDA's July report, the 1998/99 world situation featured higher expected beginning stocks and lower consumption. World cotton demand remains virtually flat.
China's anticipated shift from net importer to net exporter lowered their stocks about 2.0 million bales to 14.8 million, said Anderson.
Because the market is facing the likely loss of Step 2 user certificates, producer pricing strategies are extremely important during the next several months, Anderson said. A market rally back to the 76-78-cent level for December 1998 would provide producers the chance to price from one-half to most of their expected crop.
Because world prices are well below U.S. delivered prices in northern Europe, the 80-cent price resistance on December 1998 may be able to overcome a sustained price rally based only on a short crop.
''Speculators have started to reduce their net bale commitments during the last two weeks,'' said Anderson.
''They spent about nine weeks working from their largest net short positions in April to their largest net long positions in June.
''The market in mid-July appears to have accounted for the lower yields expected across Texas and California at this point. Given the adequate world supply of cotton and market adjustments to account for the likely loss of Step 2 payments, it is advisable to protect against a price decline.''
Anderson said the July reports were neutral for U.S. and slightly bearish for world stocks. The June and early July price rally was based mainly on adverse weather and a short crop.
Because of the surplus in China, the weakened Asian economies reducing exports and strong textile imports from the U.S., demand is weak.
Despite all that, the cotton market should have support in the low December 1998 area and may recover to the 76-78-cent range, he said providing the crop is 15 million bales or less.
The latest report indicated less U.S. production, mill use and exports from the previous month, he said, pointing to yield-reducing hot and dry weather in Texas. Areas in Georgia and Alabama are also under stress, while production in the mid-South is doing OK, he said.
''The short crop is expected to limit both mill use and exports to about 11.0 million and 5.0 million bales, respectively. As a result, ending stocks were projected to increase 100,000 bales to 3.0 million, even with a small 15.0 million-bale crop,'' Anderson said. ''Favorable growing conditions across the Delta and Southeast regions during July are critical to reaching the projected crop size.
''Unfortunately, U.S. mill use and exports are expected to decline. Mill use faces increased imports of textile goods and strong competition from man-made fibers.''
Anderson says that the expected crop in exports to 5.0 million bales from the 1997-1998 exports of 7.4 million, stems from the loss of China as a major buyer, coupled with the economic slow down and decreased exports associated with the Asian currency crises.
The usage of cotton for 1998-1999 totals only 16.0 million bales. That compares with 18.8 million in 1997-1998 and 18.0 million in 1996-1997.

Prose Poetry- As the Violins Play in the Background
My Life-My Journey-My Ending
Poetry By HC Porter
- Prose Poetry- Kept in a box of secrets
Prose Poetry Online by HC Porter Kept in a box of secrets reflects the journey of life and becoming oneself, despite the mistakes you make to keep yourself stagnant in life.
- A Poem- The way the payment hurts
When life is no longer simple and you feel lost, sometimes the day doesn't seem to have an end. Emotions of rage overtake simple moments, tears interrupt thoughts and what happens is now up to you. This is a poem about becoming yourself and moving fo
- Prose Poetry-Wasted Days
How would you view the story of your life if your re-read it? Wasted Days is the review of life as it was written and felt by the writer. Prose Poetry By H.C Porter.
I can control what it is I want out of life
As the violins play in the background
I sway into the darkness and try to tell if something is left here
I am not to believe the rumors that my heart once told me would be okay to feel
It is a secret-
I am not dead-
I am alive and I know where I can begin.
I am giving up a mask-
And I will face the world
I am no longer a child
I am no longer a girl
It is okay to be afraid,
Of what I have discovered on my own
As long as I still hold my breath
And take the steps forward into a new world.
Feelings and emotions escape to release me,
In the perfect distance the earth curves beneath the tremble of weak knees
Shutter-Silence- Seep into the earth
Endless moments- they belong to someone other than who I am in her
Sounds lift me up, as reality of thought brings me down,
Take away my breath- give me another way out.
It once felt like home, the places where I still step.
My feet are planted on the ground- as the floor around me begins to collapse
I loved the way you touched me,
I didn’t like the way you felt,
I gave away my heart to you,
And you managed to break it.
Don’t you dare judge me!
I have already judged myself.
I do not need your opinions of how i should feel this regret
I carry my past with me,
I carry the lies you tell,
Don’t bother to make this right anymore
I have stored my sins somewhere else.
Never have I felt worth it,
Never did I ever feel I was any good at life
I have spent many years wasted
Trying to decide if I could be good at anything to make my life worth while
You have assured to me I couldn’t,
You assured to me I was done
You assured to me I needed you to make me into a 'someone'.
I don’t need my mistakes to be shown to me,
I already recognize them.
I don’t need for anyone to tell me,
I should be someone else
Sick and tired with the world collapsing around my trembling heart
Telling me I should be ashamed of how I manage to make something more than anything that you are
You are not so much better,
That I could not be better than you.
I hold the truth within my heart
And I do things because they are the right things to do
Would it have been so bad to hold me up to the light?
To point out to me in the darkness, that you can still see the stars?
Why was it a competition?
Why was I filled in regret?
Why can you not see me?
Why can you not help me figure things out?
Always working harder,
Because I have to fight
A constant struggle to get a chance to make myself worthwhile.
So sick of a reputation, that I didn’t create myself.
So sick and tired of suffering for the payment I didn’t deal to need to regret.
You picked and choose what it is I should be
And I finally got tired of it
Little do you know?
As your words cut through your lies
I have grown into someone strong
And I can control what it is I want out of life
I can fight through the chains and the dungeons you have given me
I can get out of this world so I can start at the beginning of living..

Okay, Readers! This is, unfortunately, the last chapter of my Danny Phantom story. (crowed cries) BUT, (crowd stops) I am going to write a sequel soon! (crowd cheers, whistles, etc.) So read this story and review it! It starts out two weeks after DP's escape from Gertrend, okay? (crowd nods) Another thing, this is kind of sad…sorry. That's it!
Disclaimer: I do NOT own Danny Phantom or his friends or enemies. I do, however own Gertrend and Jenny Templeton/Mystic Phantom.
I walked casually down the school hallway with Sam and Tucker close behind. We were all sort of quiet still, after what had happened two weeks ago.
Most of you know about my skirmish with Gertrend and his ghost girl, Mystic, but no one knows how it ended. I guess you have the right to know, but let me just say that the end isn't pretty. It was depressing
Flashback: Sam, Tucker, the ghosts, and I burst into the huge throne room. We didn't even give Gertrend time to react. Although, the thing didn't need it. He jumped right into action, firing red ecto-beams at us. One hit Skulker, sending him flying back into Walker and into the ghostly guards.
"Hey! No one does that but me!" I yelled, preparing to blast Gertrend.
"Tsk. Tsk, Daniel. You can't win. I'm stronger than you."
"Yeah, right." I rolled my eyes, but I was soon to find out that he wasn't bluffing. The next thing I knew, all of my friends/foes were trapped in red ectoplasmic boxes that creature had created.
"Let us out!" I screamed.
"No, but since you refused me, Daniel, I have no choice but to kill you." he growled. He held out his hand and closed it into a fist. At first, nothing happened. No huge explosion, no instant death, but then the boxes slowly closed in. My eyes widened as I realized what was happening. He was going to crush us to death!
"You won't get away with this!" I yelled as the box threatened to crush me. I tried to break free, but nothing worked. I heard my friends grunts as they tried to escape.
"Daniel, Daniel," he said standing, his hands behind his back. He walked up to my box and came towards my face. "I'll always get away with anything. I can't die. Nothing can stop me."
"Except me!" came a familiar voice. I heard an agonizing scream echo through the room as a red light burst out of Gertrend's chest. The sound was terrifying, but then I realized that he wasn't the only one screaming.
She screamed as loud as the mad man did.
"What's going on?" I yelled, frightened.
"I-I'm sorry, Danny." she gasped before dropping onto the ground. The light had stopped and the boxes evaporated.
"Mystic!" I cried out. I ran to her, not caring whether Gertrend was alive or dead. I took the young girl's head into my hands.
"Mystic!" I screamed again. I was relieved when her eyes fluttered open.
"Danny, I'm sorry." she said, a tear dripping down her cheek.
"For what?" I said smiling. "You didn't do anything. Now, hush. We'll get some help."
"No." she said gasping for breath. She grabbed my hand and pressed it to her cheek. "Don't leave me, please."
"But if I don't, then I can't get help." I pleaded, tears forming in my eyes. She put a hand to my face.
"I don't care. I would rather die looking at your face than the back of a EMT truck." she laughed.
"Shhh." she said stroking my cheek.
"Alright." I said. "I'll stay."
"I'm…s-sorry…I d-didn't t-tell you." she gasped. She was fading, fast. And there was nothing I could do to stop her death.
"Tell me what?" I smiled.
"That it would kill me. I j-just…knew y-you wouldn't…h-have l-let me d-do it."
"Why did you do it?" I asked, silently begging God to keep her here.
"To save you, Danny." she stated as clear as crystal. "I-I told y-you…"
She stopped and her eyes closed.
I love you. came a voice in my head. I jumped, but I realized it was her.
I love you, too. I thought back.
No you don't. the voice laughed. You love, Sam.
"S-Sam." she rasped. Sam hurried over to the dying form in my arms.
"Yes." the gothic girl said, trying not to cry.
"T-take c-care of D-Danny."
"I will." she whispered, a tear falling off her face.
"T-thanks. Danny," she looked at me as she said my name.
"Take care of yourself, and don't let those ghosts beat you up too bad."
"I won't." I laughed.
We sat there for hours, but it seemed like minutes. Mystic's breathing steadily slowed. After a while of silence, I heard her speak for the last time.
"I love you." And then she was gone.
"NO! Come back!" I cried out. The tears, which I had tried to keep at bay, poured out of me now. They fell all over the small body in my hands.
I don't know how long I cried, but finally Tucker got me up. Sam grabbed my hand and looked sadly at me, tears dripping down her pale cheeks.
That all happened two weeks ago, but it felt like just yesterday. The regular jokes had kept up between the three of us as well as the ghost butt-kicking, but sometimes, when we thought about Mystic it was hard.
"Hey," Sam said shaking my shoulder. "everything's fine. We're doing fine."
"Yeah," I sighed. "I know." I grabbed her hand and kissed it. After what had happened to Mystic, we had gotten together.
We'd never really expressed our feelings for each other because we thought we had our whole lives ahead of us, but when Mystic died we realized life was too short…and it was also her dying wishes.
We walked a little farther to the edge of the school yard when it happened. I heard a giggle, a familiar one. A black haired girl stood just in front of us. I gasped and stared at my two friends. They were just as surprised.
Before I knew what I was doing, I whirled the girl around to face me. There, as plain as day, was Jenny Templeton/Mystic Phantom.
"Mystic?" I said staring into those hazel eyes.
"Ummm… my name's Jenny. Jenny-"
"Templeton." I finished, my mouth gaping. Mystic looked at me, impressed.
"Do I know you? Or are you just psychic?" she giggled.
No but you are, I thought to myself.
"Uh, no. You don't remember me?" I asked desperately.
She shook her head. "No, I'm sorry, should I?"
I thought for a moment. I stared into her eyes, looking for some hint of a joke, but there was nothing but seriousness in her eyes.
"No, I guess you just reminded me of someone."
"Oh, well, I hope she's pretty." she giggled. "See you later, um…what's your name?"
I smiled at her even though I felt let down. "Danny. Danny Fenton."
"Cool name. See you later, Danny!" she yelled as she hopped into a car and drove away.
I stood there, dumbstruck. How could she not know me? Remember me? I shook my head. Was it all real? I looked back at my friends, they were just as dumbstruck as I. Sam was the first to regain her composure.
"Who's up for Nasty Burger?" she laughed.
"Me! No veggies, please!" Tucker yelled.
"Double meat for me!" I yelled back.
"You two are so gross."
"I am the box ghost! Beware!" came that irritating ghost's cry.
"Hold that thought." I said running behind a tree. I transformed into ghost boy. "This will only take a second.
"We're right behind you!"
The gang was back…
THE END…FOR NOW!
Hope you guys enjoyed that! It was a little sad, but had a happy ending! Review and tell me what you think about it! Sorry if you guys didn't like the DP and Sam pairing, but I had to do it! Sorry! Review please, still!

It is once again a boom time for the titans of American business, with corporations posting high profits on eye-popping earnings statements; yet unemployment remains stubbornly high (with few signs pointing to a rapid acceleration in hiring on the horizon).
New York Magazine has a theory that partially explains the disconnect—corporations now need far fewer employees to run the show. In a recent piece entitled "The Hiring Gap"—comparing the top ten most valuable companies in the nation in 1964 with the top ten today—it is clear that corporate earnings are rising exponentially while the number of employees required to run those companies is either similar or far lower (especially when you consider how many more people are in the workforce these days).
A few interesting points:
• Only two companies on the 1964 list appear on the current list—GE and IBM. • In 1964, the single largest employer (AT&T) had more employees than the combined 2011 workforces of Exxon, Berkshire Hathaway, Apple, Microsoft, Chevron, and Google. • Berkshire Hathaway is #2 on the current list, with a market cap of $405 billion, and 260,000 employees. It is worth noting that those are the total employees at companies owned by the investment firm—only 21 people work at the company's offices. • In 1964, Kodak was tenth on the list, booking a market cap of $40 billion and employing 81,500. Tenth on the list today—Google, with a market cap of $183 billion, and employing 24,400. • In 1964, AT&T topped the list with $254 billion in market capital, and 758,611 employees. Today, Exxon Mobil is in first place—with $412 billion in market capital, and 83,600 employees.

How would you react when someone spilt ketchup on your new dress?
How would you behave when your car has dashed into another vehicle when your son was driving it?
What is your reaction to your kids painting on your walls ?
When your son/daughter fails a subject ?
Our actions today decide their behaviors tomorrow. Its very well known that children are a map work of their parents, they reflect what their parents are and their lifestyle is. We are now going to understand some specific behaviors. Lets understand their adolescence behaviors which is a result of their childhood conditioning.
– Loud Adolescence – When they are loud and like to create a scene about every small thing, they are loud Adolescence. They are a result of parents behaving in the same manner. Since they cannot prove themselves, they gain attention through blow things out of proportion.
Attention Seeking Adolescence- These are attention seeking ones who have either been deprived of love or they have had some sour childhood experiences. They suddenly would fall ill or they involve themselves in situation where they are the center of attraction.
– Narcissist Adolescence – When the love for your own self is more than anyone in the world and self esteem has turned into self pride, it’s a state of Narcissist. These kinds of people are attracted to their own selves and they derive pleasure in self praise. Most commonly they are attractive in their physical appearance.
– Depressed Adolescence- When there is no pleasure derived from the environment and when adolescence prefer corners of the house, they come into the category of depressed adolescence. They do not like to talk to anyone much and they prefer to stay quite.
– Rebellious Adolescence- When parents say RIGHT they go LEFT. They do not care about anyone, they are more like the stone hearted creatures , absolutely emotionless. They most of the times don’t even know what they want but they always want to do what others stop them from doing. This is most of the times when parents have been quarreling amongst each other and have not been listening to each other.
– Lip sealed Adolescence/ Indecisive – They do not have an opinion of their own, most of the times they are dependent on others like siblings, parents and teachers to take their decisions. Most of the times even for small things they get extremely confused. This is most of times when parents pressurize their kids towards something, so he loses his self capability to choose and decide.
– Hyper active Adolescence- Some of them are hyperactive, they stand first when a responsibility is given. They are always ready to take charge, most of the times they are good leaders and they could actively motivate a team.
– Happy-go- lucky/ content Adolescence – They are the happy ones. They always have a smile, they are content with themselves and people around them. They balance emotions and practicality. They are a fruit of happy parents and happy relationships.
A good way is to identify where you want your child to stand and they behave with him accordingly behave them. Do not forget when you plant seeds of a particular type, you get a huge tree of the same type in years to go.
Thanks & Regards
