This is what my daughter was looking at in my previous post. That mist curling along side the river, the river escaping to the sea, the winter sun nearly reaching the horizon. And when it does lift above the sea here on the East Coast of New Zealand, its rays are the first of a new day for the whole world. We are a day ahead of most countries, which may account for why we are quite laid back - we’re already ahead of things! . . . . . . . . . . . . #littleadventures_bigpictures ...

My sweet girl turned fourteen last month. She is all I could’ve dreamed up for a daughter, and so much more. I learn from her daily. And I love her so much I even let her share my chips. . . . . . . . . . #sunrise#elementscollection

View goals in Te Mata Peak, New Zealand⛰ • Last week some friends and I headed over to Napier for the weekend. After a long drive and encountering every weather condition possible, we made it! We sat and watched the sunset at the top and reflected on how amazing this country is. • Have you been to NZ? #newzealand#travelblog
Room to breathe! 🥰 Sometimes I find that a bit of open space, a bit of peace and quiet and a whole lot of nature is just what the doctor ordered to recalibrate and soothe the soul.❤ How beautiful is this Hawkes Bay Saturday at the top of Te Mata peak? Views for days! . . . #findyourtribe#adventure

Southampton Care Centre residents celebrate Canada 150 with a Proudly Canadian Prom
Flags were flying as the patriotic residents at Jarlette's Southampton Care Centre celebrated Canada's 150th Birthday at their "Proudly Canadian Prom," which took place just a few weeks before Canada Day.
Joined by students from a local high school, the young and "young at heart" laughed, danced and sang as music melted away the generation gap in the spirit of Canadian pride.
Planning for the event began in January, when Southampton's in-house chaplain Eileen Wolfe, along with the home's activity staff and the Resident-Led Events and Clubs (REC) "Decorating Dudes and Divas" met to plan the festivities. Though they can't take all of the credit for pulling off such an amazing event.
In the weeks leading up to the prom the REC "Crafty Hands Club" assisted to make and hang a number of Canadian-themed decorations throughout the home, and especially in the activity room where the main event was to take place. They also created some amazing maple leaf corsages for residents to wear. The REC "Handy Helpers" assisted in organizing the generous donations of suits and prom dresses, ties, scarves and jewelry for the resident to wear. And on Prom Day, Peggy, an esthetician at Indulge, a local business, volunteered her services to beautify the residents. Southampton's hairdresser, Jennifer, coiffed the residents' hair, and volunteers even provided manicures!
On prom day, residents not attending the actual prom were still able to participate in the day as staff dressed them in their best red and white outfits. The menu at the home was also transformed, featuring meals and snacks themed from each Canadian province. And of course, red and white tablecloths and Canadian flag centrepieces adorned the dining rooms.
In the afternoon is when students from Saugeen District Secondary School arrived. They met their senior prom date and presented the residents with red carnations. The happy couples were piped through the balloon arch to the dance floor by local piper Steve Wolfe, where they posed to have their prom photos taken by local photographer Lynn Fryday.
At the end of the day, the entire gang gathered for a heartfelt rendition of the Canadian national anthem that brought tears to the eyes of many patriotic residents.
Although the highlight for many was a letter greeting from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's office, the entire event was a great success! Southampton staff also captured the event with photos and videos so that residents can relive their Proudly Canadian Prom for months to come.

Buffy The Vampire SlayerUber-Vamp mini-bust Buffy the Vampire Slayer - Mwctoys.com Review
Monday 5 September 2005, by Webmaster
Moore Action Collectibles did a series of busts before they went, well, bust, based on the popular series Angel. They did busts for Angel (modern and origin), Spike, Lorne, Cordelia, and Faith. Both Lorne and Spike actually had multiple color variants on the outfits as well.
But when MAC followed the buffalo, Diamond Select Toys stepped in to pick up where they left off. They’ve been producing figures, statues and mini-busts, and have already released 7 of their own in the same scale and style as the previous series. Rather than being based on Angel, these are based on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and have included Giles as a Fyarl Demon, D’Hoffryn, one of the Gentlemen, the Judge, Kulak, Oz and Werewolf Oz.
They have just released their eighth, the Uber-Vampire. You’ll remember this guy from the final season, when he was operating as a pawn for Caleb and the First. Following closely behind this bust should be several more, including a couple Buffy’s and a Spike.
Packaging - ***1/2
Sculpting - ***1/2
The leather tunic looks great, and the undead skin texture works perfectly. Some folks think you need to have an asymmetrical sculpt to look ugly and scary, but the ubervamp proves otherwise.
Paint - ***
Design - ****
The base is also adorned with a symbol that fans will appreciate, and connecting the bases to the characters this way is another nice touch. Although the base isn’t identical to the other bases, the style still matches up.
Value - **1/2
He’s also a limited run of 2000, but that’s probably pretty accurate for the current demand.
Overall - ***1/2
On the flip side, I’m very happy to see them keeping the monsters in the same style. UberVamp fits right in with the other monsters from both MAC and DST, and will look fantastic on the shelf next to them. The paint ops were a tad weak, but the sculpt and design make up for any slight failing.
Where to Buy - You can find them at most comic shops, or online at:
Amazing Toyz has him for $38.
CornerStoreComics has him for $38.
Alter Ego Comics has him for $38.25.
Time and Space Toys has him for $40, but if you’re a Buffy Collector Club member, you can get him for $36.
Related Links - I’ve reviewed some of the past busts:
here’s a review of the four monsters, Giles as a Fyarl Demon, the Judge, D’Hoffyrn, Kulak, and The Gentleman.
and of course, you should check out the Diamond Select site for more info.

Old Time Relijun (US) + Secte + Quasi Una Fantasia + Guillaume Maupin
» Old Time Relijun (US) (Experimental / Noise Rock / Indie)
Old Time Relijun are the rarest breed of band. Insatiable, living raw, always on the margins and consistent as hell. You know what to expect and yet never have any clue what's going to come next. Old Time Relijun give sweaty, compulsively danceable performances that never fail to inflame their audience. Their songs are simple but no one else in the world could imitate them. Their albums are packed with sing-along hits, mixed with sonic experiments and inside jokes. Their loose swagger belies years of practice, fastidious arrangements and gut-level understanding of how music hits you.
Old Time Relijun was born on January 1st, 1995 in a dark and moldy basement in Olympia, Washington. The band stole some popcorn bags, talked a friend out of his inheritance and self-released “Songbook Vol. I” in 1997. They then began their long association with Calvin Johnson’s K Records.
Old Time Relijun maintained its singular identity through every musical landscape over the next dozen years.
Between 1999 and 2007, Old Time Relijun toured like monsters, averaging 150 shows a year in the U.S. and Europe, releasing “Uterus and Fire” [KLP 97], “La Sirena De Pecera” [KLP 110], “Witchcraft Rebellion” [KLP 128], “Lost Light” [KLP159], “2012 [KLP 171] and “Catharsis in Crisis” [KLP 184], The last three albums are known collectively as “The Lost Light Trilogy;” a conceptual triptych integrating poetry, painting, and myth through multiple lyrical and musical threads.
The band toured through 2008 and then quietly parted ways.
2019 reunites Old Time Relijun with newfound level of passionate indignation and a deeper musical vocabulary. There is no better time than this fucked up time in history to “get the band back together”: there is something magical that happens when a deep seeker straps on a guitar and plays rock’n’roll. Old Time Relijun makes music for the revolution from a restless energy that has never settled down.
This is a band that prefers its walls sweaty and smashes the shit out of every single sound you hear.

Les influences de SECTE sont spatiales, mondiales, ésothériques, blues. Le groupe compose une musique instrumentale alternant des envolées à l'amplification sonore puissantes et des parties sensiblement langoureuses et pittoresques.
» Quasi Una Fantasia (Improvisation / Minimal)

John Locke (1632-1704), Guillaume mixes all genres in his very own
blender : reggae, medieval, bluegrass, folk, lo-fi rock, etc.


The wonderful Villa del Balbianello
Italy has a lot of suggestive places, both natural places than historical buildings harmoniously “co-habiting” with Mother Nature. All this is particularly interesting when a director film have to choose where to shoot the scenes of a movie. Today our destination is just one of these locations: the wonderful Villa del Balbianello.
This complex is located in Lenno, in the province of Como, in 1787 Cardinal Angelo Maria Durini wanted it and it was built above a pre-existing Franciscan monastery, right on the tip of the small peninsula of Lavedo “surrounded” by Como Lake.
After the death of Cardinal, Villa del Balbianello had several owners; the last of these, the explorer Guido Monzino, died in 1988 without heirs, left it to the F.A.I. (Italian Environment Fund) which has preserved it in the best possible way.
Starting from the 90s, the beauty of the complex, both the interiors and the gardens, has attracted the attention of film studios and directors from various parts of the world, always looking for unique and fascinating settings for their movies.
In 2006 the New Zealand director Martin Campbell chose the villa as the setting for several sequences of the movie Casino Royale, one of the famous series dedicated to the secret agent 007 of the British intelligence, interpreted by the English actor Daniel Craig.
The charm of Villa del Balbianello has impressed also George Lucas, the famous American producer and screenwriter director who with his holding company Lucas Film has given great emotions with his films to children and adults from all over the world.
The beauty of the complex located on the promontory surrounded by the Lake Como, has convinced Lucas to choose this scenery for some scenes of his famous Star Wars saga.
In fact, at the beginning of 2000 Lucas Film shot, in the gardens of the villa, a romantic scene of the film “Star Wars Episode II – the attack of the clones” in which there are a young apprentice Jedi Anakin Skywalker and the Senator Padmé Amidala, former queen of Naboo, who walk in the spectacular setting of Lake Como.

Il mare dove non si tocca
The Sea Where You Don’t Touch is read in one breath and stays forever in the heart, along with the unique voice of the narrator, a boy with a head full of questions and a heart overflowing with stories. Fabio is six years old, two parents, and nine grandparents. Nine, because he is the only child in the Mancini family, and his real grandfather’s many siblings-lonely, impetuous, dangerously eccentric men-are competing to take him hunting, fishing, and involving him in a thousand other very unchildlike activities. So Fabio grows up without hanging out with his peers, and the first day of school will be a concentration of shocking surprises: his classmates have many toys and very few grandparents, and they amuse each other with strange games with absurd names – hide-and-seek, flag-stealing, fly-tipping. And finally, the most alarming discovery of all, a terrible curse hangs over his family: all males who reach forty without marrying go mad. His grandparents-uncles are there to witness this. Fortunately, beside him are also a taciturn but loving father, mother, grandmother, and a very wise little girl who goes around dressed as a ladybug. A chaotic family that seems invincible, until something totally unexpected happens and upsets every balance. Day after day, from elementary school through middle school, Fabio will seek the ever precarious balance between a private world populated with stories, full of adventure and animated with imagination, and the world out there, confined in a thousand oppressive rules and dominated by the law of the strongest. Amid stumbles, sudden loves and extraordinary encounters, in a rocambulistic, poetic and wacky journey of formation, Fabio will understand that oddities are our inexhaustible treasure of uniqueness, and will come to discover his own vocation as a storyteller hopelessly in love with life.
For your fish no one takes it from you.
It swims oddly, it swims randomly, but here it comes to you.
After the success of Chi manda le onde, which won the 2015 Strega Giovani Prize, Fabio Genovesi returns with a bright and colorful, funny and poetic novel, capable of alternating registers with extraordinary effectiveness and moving us from laughter to emotion in an instant.

A freak head injury while training with Sakshi Malik has forced young wrestler Sonam Malik out of the UWW ranking series event in Rome while Tokyo-bound Deepak Punia and Ravi Dahiya have also pulled out of the tournament for different reasons. (More Sports News)
The Indian squad left this morning for Rome, where the competition will begin on Thursday with Greco Roman wrestlers taking the mat first.
Country's elite wrestlers like Bajrang Punia and Vinesh Phogat are competing in the tournament.
Sonam, who had booked her seat in the Indian team in the 62kg after defeating Sakshi in the trials, got injured while training with the 2016 Olympic bronze medallist at the national camp in Lucknow, last week.
She did not even realise that she has got injured and only when blood started dripping from her head and spilled on the mat, both the wrestlers realised that something has gone awry.
"It was not fault of anyone. It happens in wrestling. It was not deliberate. You don't want to concede any point and give your all. In that moment, injury could happen," Sonam's personal coach Ajmer Mailk told PTI.
"She got five stitches on her head. We brought her back after that and a local doctor examined her on Monday. The doctor said the injury has not healed and stitches can't be removed, so she had to miss. She can't compete with pain and injury," he said.
Also missing, what would have been their first tournament since the coronavirus-forced break, are Ravi Dahiya (57kg), Deepak Punia (86kg) and Jitender Kinha (74kg).
Ravi injured his left knee during the national camp in Sonepat two weeks back, while Deepak is suspected to be down with either dengue or typhoid.
"My knee is still swollen. I was getting ready for this event but what to do. The swelling has come down considerably but the knee is not good enough for competition," Ravi, who is one the three men's wrestlers to have qualified for the Tokyo Games, told PTI.
Deepak, who won a silver in the 2019 World Championship in Nur Sultan, said a bout of fever put paid to his plans.
"It's been one week I am down with fever. It's not COVID. I have got my test done yesterday and awaiting report. It could be dengue or typhoid. There is lot of weakness and I have not trained for some time now," said Deepak.
Jitender, who is one of the three entries in the 74kg along with Narsingh Pancham Yadav and Sandeep Mann, has suffered a shoulder injury and also pulled out of the event.
India had announced a 34-member squad for the tournament.

JetBlue Airways is following its rivals by rolling out a new basic economy fare. The tickets are cheaper, but they lack the perks that come with more expensive fares.
The airline announced Tuesday that it has introduced a new fare class called Blue Basic, CNN reported. The stripped-down ticket option doesn't include advanced seat selection or the ability to change or a cancel a flight. These use-it-or-lose-it fares will be introduced on JetBlue's website Tuesday.
Passengers who choose Blue Basic will board last and can only choose a seat during the check-in process, which begins 24 hours before the flight's departure. Fliers will still have the same access to the carrier's standard array of perks including free Wi-Fi, snacks, drinks and seat-back television. Customers can bring carry-ons, and, as with most other classes of tickets, Blue Basic fliers will have to pay for checked baggage.
JetBlue first announced it would develop a basic economy fare more than a year ago. The airline said in its third-quarter earnings report it expects to generate an additional $150 million in revenue from Blue Basic. The availability of the new fare will "vary by route, date and demand, so not all fares will be offered on all flights," it said.
Basic economy first began with ultra low-cost carriers, including Spirit, before eventually being adopted by major airlines, including Delta, United and American Airlines.
"Our new low fare will be anything but basic, designed to help customers save while still offering the full JetBlue experience," Joanna Geraghty, the airlines' president and COO, said in a press release. "This will attract ultra-low-fare seekers to JetBlue, where we can take better care of them than other airlines do."
The airline is still deciding whether to extend the new fare class when it launches London flights from New York and Boston in 2021. Other airlines that compete on the route, including Norwegian Air, offer a similar stripped-down fare.

German, born 1931
Heinz Mack and Otto Piene’s series of Abendausstellungen (evening exhibitions) in their shared Düsseldorf studio led to the formation of the ZERO group in 1957; Günther Uecker joined the duo in 1961. The name was chosen based on the association of zero with silence and potentiality, not to convey irony or emptiness. Emerging in the wake of World War II (1939–45) and the collapse of Germany’s economy, the group worked cooperatively, often experimenting with cheap, easily sourced materials.
In the majority of his compositions, Mack aims to capture the movement of natural elements, and the ways in which they reflect and absorb light. Simona, a tall, slender construction of repetitive design alludes to the silhouette of the skyscraper—a symbol of mid-twentieth-century modernity. For the artist, however, the column also represents dignity and humanity standing upright in space. Mack has said, “The main thing is that all the artists that were or have been involved in the spirit of ZERO in general are working with structures . . . making concrete not realistic work: it’s just structures—and behind these structures is the idea of light, space, and movement.”

If you are a fish keeper and love to keep them in your home, office, or store, you need to know that it is not a one-time effort. You can't just build a pond and leave it to enjoy the view hoping it takes care of itself. You need to give it proper maintenance from time to time, cleaning up the muck and keeping your water clean. Pond cleaning is necessary and needs to be done regularly to ensure your koi fish and pond enjoy long term healthy environment.
When a pond is installed, it has crystal-clear water and is then filled with plants and fish, you are happy and it's all perfect. But, with the passage of time, the water becomes dark and murky due to all the fish waste. Plants start to decay, fish excrete their waste, algae accumulate, and leaves fall in the pond.
Excess fish food can also make it look grimy. If all this is not cleaned on time, the pond is going to smell bad and would not even worth looking at. So, to clear this sludge, proper pond filtration should be carried out but it's not enough. With the use of an appropriate pond vacuum, you can make certain that every last bit of the pond floor is cleaned up.
Top Pond Vacuum Picks
In no particular order, we have provided below top picks for pond vacuums. Do your research and always consider your pond size before purchasing your pond vacuum. You want to make sure you are getting a pond vacuum strong enough to do the job.
Matala has created a powerful vacuum ready to tackle all the muck and sludge you can throw at it. With a dual motor design and strong enough to pull up water 18 feet vertically, this is an awesome pond vacuum!
Python products are well known and trusted in the tropical fish world. Python offers a budget-friendly pond vacuum designed with the small pond keeper in mind. Simple, yet effective, Python Ulti-Vac can keep your pond clean and save you a few dollars.
Similar to the vacuum you use at home, a pond vacuum works by using air and a motor to suck up the muck, trash and other particles from the pond floor or other surfaces, a pond vacuum works in a similar way to your home vacuum. The only major difference between the two is the medium used. The home vacuum works with air, while pond vacuum works with water.
A pond vacuum is designed to clean the pond by removing all unwanted materials and waste deposited at the bottom of the pond. Water is suctioned with the use of an electric pump to filter out the sludge in the filtration nook. All the solids are collected in this filtration section, and water is pumped back to the pond.
A pond vacuum cleans up not only the surface and bottom of the pond but also the small stones present on the base of the pond. When sludge and algae start dirtying the water, they also settle at the bottom, covering the pebbles. The nozzle of the pond vacuum scrubs the surface of these stones and cleans and the area between them.
Another thing a pond vacuum can be very useful at is cleaning the area around the pond. Due to constant water deposits on the boundaries of the pond, the area around the pond border develops algae, which becomes dangerous and can be slippery. Using a pond vacuum, you can clean it up and save yourself from any sort of slipping injury.
Here is the best part! The sludge filtered and collected from the pond can be used as a garden fertilizer, so instead of throwing it away, you can use it for gardening and plantation. An eco-friendly solution to keeping your pond clean and growing your garden!
Benefits of a Pond Vacuum
Following are the benefits of using a pond vacuum to clean the pond easily, regularly, and without spending too much time on it:
Ease of Use ( you will save time and no back breaking pain! )
The most important benefit that a vacuum provides is the ease with which a pond can be cleaned. Do you really want to be knee deep in your own pond cleaning out debris? Didn't think so.
Traditional cleaning involves calling a professional who charges a lot of money, removing the fish from the pond, and securing the plants. This is clearly a long and tiring process, so most people avoid doing it until there is no other choice. They ignore the debris until it gets too much and it's too late. However, the consistent use of a pond vacuum makes sure that the cleanliness of the pond is not sacrificed.
Saves YOU Money ( an ounce of prevention! )
Another plus point is that it helps you save money. You don't have to call a professional to come clean up your pond, you can take care of it using your own pond vacuum. You need only invest once and reap the sweet harvest forever.
Clears Up Organic Debris
Organic debris is made up of plants and animal waste and remains. When a plant dies and decays, it turns into organic debris. Furthermore, if you feed your fish excessively, some part of the fish food remains uneaten and ends up gathering and decaying at the bottom of the pond.
If the fish food is low quality, it will increase the fish waste and add to the muck. Other pond animals like geese and ducks also excrete their waste in the pond. All these things add up to the dirt and muck you see in the pond. The regular use of a pond vacuum reduces the amount of organic debris and keeps it clean and clear.
Factors to Consider BEFORE Buying a Pond Vacuum
Pond vacuums come in a huge variety, but each vacuum does not fulfill the needs of every pond. So, you have to buy one according to the needs and requirements of your pond. Consider the following points when buying your pond vacuum.
Size of the Pond
The size of the pond vacuum depends on the size of your pond. If it is tiny or a small pond, you can use a handheld vacuum which is compact, lightweight and easy to carry and use. Larger ponds will require other attachments, features and motor power. Not all vacuum ponds are the same and you should always buy a pond vacuum to meet the needs of your pond size.
Type of Chamber
There are two types of suction systems: single chamber and double chamber. Pond vacuum cleaners can use either of them. The type of chamber defines how strong the suction system is. The higher the vacuum power, the better the cleaning.
For deeper ponds, the power of the motor plays a significant role. Pond vacuums that can clean up to 6 ft. deep are the best type. A 1200-watt motor would do for a small pond, but for bigger ponds, a more powerful motor will be required.
Depending on the size and features of your pond, you can look for multiple attachments that come with a vacuum. For instance, if your pond has pebbles, you will need a nozzle to clean the dirt layer on and between the stones. Other attachments include a telescopic pole and thermometer to test temperature in the deeper parts of your pond.
The length of the wand determines how deep you can go without bending over. The size of the pond determines what wand length you would need. Don't get caught with a short wand, unless you like being waist deep in your pond!
Suction Hose Length
This determines how far you can clean while standing at the same point. Similar to the wand length, make sure you have enough hose to reach the furthest depths of your pond.
If you have a big pond, you need to make sure that the vacuum has wheels to move around while cleaning. Like your home vacuum, it is work and pulling around a vacuum without wheels would be a nightmare. Wheels will help tremendously as you move around your yard cleaning your pond.
A koi pond is an investment in your home and you should keep it as clean and stable as possible to enjoy it for years to come. With the addition of a pond vacuum, you will not have to worry about sludge and muck stinking up your back yard, killing your precious koi and fouling your water up. It can be a simple as ducks making your pond their new home or food sitting at the bottom going un-eaten, it all leads to the break down of the health of your pond. Buying a pond vacuum will give you peace of mind knowing your pond water is as clean as possible and your koi fish will thank you for it.

Well, I made it.
Today I had one goal: relax. Oh, and blog of course!
I started the day off with a swim — about 2500m — with the Master’s group. Perfect start.
This was all spread out over 5am til about 4. After my classes, I went to the mall with Chelsea and Megan — there was some retail therapy — so I just didn’t get to lunch. Instead, I grazed, as you can see. I was kind of feeling icky about it, but then Chelsea commented on how good it was that I could eat that intuitively. Andddd I took it and turned it into a good thing instead. 🙂
I also know that I was doing a good job because I got to dinner and still wanted cook! And cook I did…
The biscuits were courtesy of Mama Peas—her Better Bay biscuits. I pretty much stuck to her recipe, but halvsies (and with regular margarine, not the vegan version). I got four good sized (large) biscuits. They were amazing. I always mess up bread things so I am SO proud that they came out, and were crispy on the outside, doughy on the inside, cheesy, delicious…perfection! I didn’t know what to expect with the whole wheat pastry flour, but I was impressed.
The soup was inspired by edible perspective’s broccoli cheddar soup. I took the recipe less to a T so I’ll post my version here! I really am not good at following directions. My version was really green, for lack of a better descriptor. Not overwhelmingly cheesey, but the added cheddar garnish made for some tasty bits in my bowl.
You need to try these recipes!
Brocco-leek and cheddar soup
3 tbsp olive oil
3 leeks, diced (bottom parts only)
2 cloves of garlic, diced
4 small red potatoes, softened (i.e. partially baked) in the microwave
2 heads of broccoli, chopped (doesn’t have to be too small)
6 cups water + 1 vegetable bouillon cube (you could use veggie broth)
½ cup milk (I used 1%)
1-1½ cups cheddar cheese, shredded (mine was light)
Heat olive oil in a large saucepan.
Saute leeks and garlic til soft.
Add potatoes, vegetable broth, and broccoli.
Bring to a gentle boil and simmer til tender (I let mine cook for about 20 minutes).
Remove from heat.
Stir in milk and cheese, reserving a bit of cheese for garnishing.
Working in two batches, puree the soup in a blender til smooth.
Place pureed soup back in the saucepan and heat til bubbly.
Serve, topped with cheddar cheese and paprika (add salt to taste).
Oh man these went well together. I am so glad I took the time to cook. So often we say that we don’t have time to cook — I loved taking this hour today to do this. Maybe it was just that I put my phone far away from the kitchen (after my dish-washing water damage mishap the other week, I’m operating under the better safe than sorry motto), but I felt really relaxed. Score!
Or maybe it was after my interview with Leanne from Healthful Pursuit yesterday. I was asking her questions for my assignment, but I took a lot more from the interview than just insight for my project. Leanne is just as well spoken as she is well written, was really encouraging, and offered two gems I really need to share now (amongst lots of other things I’ll be sharing in the article, I’m sure):
- “In order to be healthy in our bodies, it all starts in our minds–we have to be healthy in our minds.”
- “It’s about intuitive eating…listening and hearing what your body wants.”
I loved talking to her! Girl crush, much. 🙂
Now I’m just relaxing (carrying the theme on) at Starbucks with Nina (love!) because I already did my physio exercises, have all weekend to do work (ha, yeah right), and because it’s snowing. So there.
What are you up to this weekend?
When’s the last time you made a recipe and were really excited about it?
Do you feel like you have time to cook?

This structure, built of local stone by the Works Progress Administration in the 1930s, marks the entrance to the limestone cave which gives the community its name. Two million gallons flow daily from the source, which has been a landmark since long before the establishment of the town in 1832.
In 1931 Dr. J. B. Rolater deeded the cave and 29 adjacent acres to the people of Cave Spring for use as a public park. In the early days local residents were allowed to tour the cave for free, while tourists were charged ten cents.

Yesterday was Ottawa's Pride parade! I didn't get a chance to actually go, but I did help a local organization prep beforehand by... body painting the parade participants! How much fun is that?
I did this mani the night before (Saturday night) and I've gotta tell you, it's a lot more difficult when you're downing something stronger than your average grape juice ;)
I accomplished this look by applying a base coat of white as undies, then layering the neons into a rainbow so they just slightly overlap and blend. I'm a little disappointed that the pink turned more red/orange, but I've gotten a bazillion compliments on them so I guess it's no harm done.
I originally wanted to do an animal print on top instead of the shatter but the rainbow didn't blend as nicely as I'd hoped and the shatter covered more imperfections. Forgive the quality of the clean-up in this photo, intoxication leads to sloppiness. My lesson has been learned. :P
Kinda neat huh? Reminds me a lot of this mani I did a few months ago.
The colours I used were China Glaze Rose Among Thorns, China Glaze Sun Worshipper, China Glaze Celtic Sun, Claire's Lime Yours, Claire's Marine Blue and OPI Black Shatter.


Tampa Bay Shines?
Rhea Law and the Tampa Hillsborough Economic Development Corp. get how many hundreds of thousands of our tax dollars and she wants us to tell her why “Tampa Bay Shines”?
I want my money back.
But, I will share these “shiners” with her for free:
1. Tampa doesn’t tear down historic buildings like the Woolworth building; we let them fall down naturally, on their own.
2. Tampa collects paper and trash on vacant downtown lots to someday recycle into green energy.
3. Tampa allows weeds to grow up on vacant downtown lots to provide habitat for urban animals, such as rats & palmetto bugs.
4. Tampa provides sheltered doorways in abandoned buildings for the homeless to use to relieve themselves.
5. Tampa provides income to the law-challenged by letting unsuspecting tourists wander the downtown no-man’s-land without police protection.
6. Downtown Tampa has a world-class exhibit of graffiti art.
To the response “Well, all cities have these problems” I say, if Tampa wants to attract business enterprise, be unlike other cities, and clean up these eyesores.

Way back in 2015 we planted an artichoke start we got from our neighbor. The small plant eventually grew to be 10-feet tall, its buds quickly growing and flowering, and then it just up and fell over. Sometime in the winter I noticed there were little sprouts growing out of the dead flower laying in the dirt so I transplanted them in the greenhouse. When Spring came I noticed the little sprouts had turned into tiny artichoke plants so I excitedly replanted them in the garden in Spring. Eventually they grew into a towering artichoke fortress blocking out the sun from our small garden, but I determined it was worth it for artichokes.
We waited patiently for the artichokes to reach full size, and then we picked one, boiled it for an hour, and dipped the leaves in garlic butter. You can’t imagine the disappointment we felt when we discovered they were too fibrous to eat. We boiled the next one for two hours and found it was still woody and inedible. What kind of cruel and twisted joke had our neighbor played on us and why did I plant a dozen of these things all over the yard?
Eventually I spotted my neighbor in his garden and asked him about it. He told me the artichoke wasn't a typical artichoke, and that he thought it might be something called a cardoon, a variation of artichoke prized for the stems of its giant leaves, not its hearts. For real, the prize is the giant, scraggly-ass Jurassic Park-looking things. Is there an expression for being “Trojan horsed” but in respect to gardening?
We later learned that by picking the cardoon hearts really early you could eat them as baby artichokes, and if you've ever had fried artichokes at our house that's what it was and I thank you for letting us experiment on you.
Just recently I emailed a bunch of local friends offering them the rare opportunity to experience unlimited cardoon stem/leaf gathering for free and exactly zero people expressed interest. So there they are, giant fake-ass artichokes leafing out, blocking the sun, and eroding trust between neighbors.
Someday I’ll cook these weird things and see whether or not they taste as I’ve read them described—like bitter celery.

Twenty young people from a diverse array of Arsenal in the Community projects will be given the VIP treatment tomorrow when they head to Wembley Stadium with thousands of other Gunners fans for the eagerly anticipated FA Cup semi-final against Wigan Athletic.
The youngsters will enjoy the action from one of Wembley’s executive boxes after being nominated by Arsenal in the Community for their positive engagement and involvement with the department’s programmes over the course of the 2013/14 season.
The projects recognises the wide-ranging nature of the department’s work, which delivers throughout the local north London community across a number of areas such as education, health, sport and social inclusion.
Some of the specific projects to be represented tomorrow include the Kicks and Positive Futures programmes, that provides opportunities through football to disadvantaged youth from local estates and the Premier League 4 Sport programme which gives young people the chance to get involved with various sports within their local community.
The group will be completed with representatives from Arsenal in the Community’s Girls Football programme, which launched successfully earlier this season, the Arsenal Disability Sports Programme and the Arsenal Employability Scheme, which has seen a number of individuals secure accredited qualifications and work with the Club’s catering providers on matchdays.
Alan Sefton, Head of Arsenal in the Community, said: “We are delighted to recognise this group of individuals from our range of programmes across the local Islington community. All of the young people that have been nominated fully deserve this special day, either as a reward for their commitment to a project or in recognition of some of the personal barriers that they have overcome. I hope that they all have a great day and can use the occasion as further inspiration and motivation to achieve their goals.”

Monthly rents in the Brooklyn submarket rising $100 from a year ago highlights the demand for rentals in pricey areas as would-be buyers choose to renting over buying homes, according to StreetEasy Senior Economist Grant Long.
“As a dark cloud continues to hang over the sales market, we’re increasingly seeing those who have the money to buy finding better value in the luxury rental market while they wait and see what happens to home prices,” he said in a statement. “If rents and home prices continue to move in opposite directions, we may see more investors test their luck in the rental market in the hope of cashing in on the current demand for high-end rentals, bringing some much-needed support to the sales market.”
Manhattan and Queens did not fare better, with rents up 3% in Manhattan and 3.5% in Queens, reaching $3,309 and $2,198.
Downtown Manhattan saw the largest increase in its borough, with rents rising 2.8% to a new high of $3,809.
Northwest Queens also saw increases, with rents up 2.9%, reaching $2,318.
The rental market in August also saw landlords offering fewer concessions overall in Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens.
Manhattan rentals advertising concessions decreased 1.3 percentage points to 13.6%, while Queens saw a slight decrease of 0.6 percentage points from last year.
Brooklyn saw the lowest share of rentals advertising concessions in August at 11.7%, falling 2.4 percentage points from last year.

The MG Car Company Limited was a British sports car manufacturer founded in the 1920s by Cecil Kimber. Best known for its two-seat open sports cars, MG also produced saloons and coupés. Kimber was an employee of William Morris; MG is from Morris Garages. The MG business was Morris's personal property until 1935 when he sold MG into his holding company, Morris Motors Limited, restructuring his holdings before issuing (preference) shares in Morris Motors to the public in 1936. On 22 July 2005, the Nanjing Automobile Group purchased the rights to the MG brand and the assets of the MG Rover Group for £53 million and created a new company, MG Motor.
Princess Peach (Japanese: ピーチ姫 Hepburn: Pīchi-hime) is a character in Nintendo's Mario franchise. Originally created by Shigeru Miyamoto, Peach is the princess of the fictional Mushroom Kingdom, which is constantly under attack by Bowser. She often plays the damsel in distress role within the series and is the lead female. She is often portrayed as Mario's love interest and has appeared in nearly all the Mario games to date; with the most notable being in Super Princess Peach where she is the main protagonist.
Organic chemistry is a chemistry subdiscipline involving the scientific study of the structure, properties, and reactions of organic compounds and organic materials, i.e., matter in its various forms that contain carbon atoms. Study of structure includes using spectroscopy and other physical and chemical methods to determine the chemical composition and constitution of organic compounds and materials. Study of properties includes both physical properties and chemical properties, and uses similar methods as well as methods to evaluate chemical reactivity, with the aim to understand the behavior of the organic matter in its pure form (when possible), but also in solutions, mixtures, and fabricated forms. The study of organic reactions includes both their preparation—by synthesis or by other means—as well as their subsequent reactivities, both in the laboratory and via theoretical (in silico) study.
The range of chemicals studied in organic chemistry include hydrocarbons, compounds containing only carbon and hydrogen, as well as compositions based on carbon but containing other elements. Organic chemistry overlaps with many areas including medicinal chemistry, biochemistry, organometallic chemistry, and polymer chemistry, as well as many aspects of materials science.

This section explains the CAF Professional Development (PD) System for both NCMs and Officers with links to applicable opportunities.
It also contains: Foundational Leadership Doctrine (including the new 'Trusted to Serve') for the CAF; information about the OSSIDE Institute and papers written by Sr NCOs attending the OSSIDE Institute; Mentoring; and some PD related messages from the CAFCWO.
To complement Trusted To Serve, a bilingual Military Dilemmas App has been created:
o Apple Apps – search Military Dilemmas
o Google Play – search Military Dilemmas
Based on our doctrine and policies, such as the new CAF Ethos “Trusted to Serve”, my vision for the future is to shape an agile, adaptable, and highly knowledgeable cadre of trustworthy professional non-commissioned members (NCM) that embody the qualities of skilled leaders, dedicated mentors and coaches, and knowledgeable experts.
Through effective career management, a fair and transparent succession plan, coaching and mentoring programs and a robust professional development framework supported by professional military education delivered at the Robert Osside Institute, we will prepare our NCMs for the challenges they will face in the future .
The onus is on each and every one of us to embrace a style of Leadership marked by empathy, compassion, humility, and a relentless adherence to the highest ethical standards.

The book gained significant popularity due to its compelling message and the simplicity of its core idea.
The core idea of “Start with why” is indeed powerful. Simon Sinek argues that successful leaders and organizations don’t just focus on what they do or how they do it but start with understanding and communicating why they do it. By defining their purpose or cause, they can create a deeper emotional connection with their audience, leading to greater loyalty and engagement.

The Infinite Game: This is a book by Simon Sinek, following his previous work on “Start with why”. The central concept of the infinite games is intriguing and thought-provoking. Simon distinguishes between finite games, which have specific rules and a defined endpoint, and infinite games, which are ongoing with no predetermined end. He argues that businesses and leaders should approach their endeavours with an infinite mindset to drive long-term success and avoid getting trapped in short-term thinking.
Overall, “The Infinite Game” offers valuable insights into adopting an infinite mindset to drive sustainable success in a constantly evolving world. If you are interested in leadership, business strategy or personal development, you can find inspiration in Simon. Sinek’s exploration of the infinite game concept.

Fertility legislation in the Czech Republic
Czech legislation on fertility allows, among other things:
Donated gametes (eggs, sperm) and donated embryos
Egg, sperm or embryo donation represent an important part of reproductive medicine. In some countries, these therapies are partially or totally prohibited by law. In the Czech Republic, both egg and sperm donation and embryo donation are allowed under strict compliance with medical regulations and ethical requirements.
Medical requirements include legislatively mandated donor screening, which, in addition to serological testing (for HIV, hepatitis B and C, and syphilis) that is performed again before each donation, also includes genetic testing for the most common genetic mutations in the population to rule out the possibility that the donor is a healthy carrier of one of these mutations. In addition, a detailed family history of the prospective donors is taken.
The donation of gametes in the Czech Republic is strictly anonymous. Neither the recipients nor the donors ever learn any information about the other party. Recipients are only provided with the description of the donors, but no photos.
Donors are only reimbursed for the expenses associated with the donation. Therefore, donation cannot be a substitute for gainful employment and in most cases has altruistic motivation.
are mostly used when the age of the woman and her low ovarian reserve do not allow pregnancy with her own eggs. If the woman knows that she is a carrier of a hereditary disease and does not want to pass it on to her descendants, she can also resort to egg donation.
care used in the case of severely limited or complete lack of male fertility. Sperm donation can also be used in the case of the carrier of a recessive disease. However, there must be a medical reason for sperm donation. Since sperm donation therapy is also a couple therapy, the male partner who agrees to the sperm donation therapy and signs corresponding informed consent with this therapy is legally the father of the child resulting from the sperm donation.
are used when both partners are severely limited in their ability to procreate or are completely incapable of procreation or do not want to take any risk as carriers of hereditary diseases. In such cases, the woman can be implanted with one or two donated embryos agreed with the couple, subject to compliance with all conditions (signing of informed consents by both partners, appropriate examinations of the woman before the transfer).
The basis for the search for suitable donors is the typing form, which is filled out by the couple undergoing therapy. In it, the couple informs the clinic of their requirements for the donor, such as age, height, weight, eye and hair color, blood group, and educational background, if any. The clinic tries to come as close as possible to the couple’s expectations and to offer them a suitable donor. After the agreement, the planning and preparation of the therapy can begin.
The decision to become pregnant with donated gametes is certainly not easy. However, it is an alternative to adoption or childlessness. Humane and responsible treatment of both recipients and donors and strict adherence to ethical principles are basic requirements for these therapies.

Ed Sheeran, 31, and his wife Cherry Seaborn, 30, have welcomed a baby girl.
The Shape Of You, Perfect and Thinking Out Loud hitmaker shocked everyone with the announcement on Thursday evening May 19, especially because the couple decided to keep this pregnancy private.
Sheeran shared a photo of a pair of adorable white booties on a brown blanket and captioned it nonchalantly, “Want to let you all know we’ve had another beautiful baby girl.” He added, “We are both so in love with her, and over the moon to be a family of 4 x.”
It is unclear when Sheeran and Seaborn’s second child was born. A spokesperson for the singer told The Sun in a follow-up statement:
“Ed and Cherry recently welcomed a beautiful baby girl and are on cloud nine.
‘They’re so excited for Lyra to have a little sister and the four of them are currently enjoying some precious family time before Ed heads back on tour.
‘We are delighted for them, and we hope that you can respect their privacy at this special time.’
Sheeran and Seaborn, 30, are already parents to daughter Lyra Antarctica, whom they welcomed in August 2020. At the time, they announced the birth of their baby girl with a sweet message on Instagram.

Bitcoin is not property - South Korean Supreme Court
The South Korean Supreme Court recently held that no charges of embezzlement or misappropriation can be framed against a South Korean ...
OpenSea, the leading NFT market place has reimbursed 750 Ethereum to 130 wallets totaling about $1.8 million, to users who accidentally sold valuable NFTs at well below their market rate through an exploit involving “inactive listings.”
Recently, several users had complained that their blue-chip NFTs, such as those belonging to the Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) collection, Cool Cats, Mutant Ape Yacht Club, and CyberKong had been purchased at old, cheap listing prices. These listings were never canceled on the blockchain, even though the user interface on OpenSea suggested that they had been turned to “inactive listings”.
Sellers who wish to cancel their listings on the NFT platform have to send messages over the blockchain by paying transaction or “gas” fees. To avoid paying the gas fees, users transfer the NFT to a secondary wallet and re-transfer it again. This action led to the listing status as in-active on the user interface.
The feature affected users who had transferred their previously listed NFTs to other wallets without canceling the old listings. Attackers could buy these NFTs at cheap rates by directly interacting with the smart contracts bypassing OpenSea UI and then selling them at much higher current market rates.
According to Fortune, Robert Garcia, 39, a user of OpenSea said he accidentally sold his Mutant Ape NFT for 4.7 Ether (about $11,300). Gracia had transferred his NFT to a separate wallet without canceling the previous listing because he would have had to pay a gas fee, which was over $100 at the time. Garcia said he emailed OpenSea immediately after the unintentional sale, and received a response from them that offered him a refund of 13.8 Ether.
According to the blockchain intelligence firm Elliptic, on January 24, a Bored Ape Yacht Club NFT #9991 was purchased for 0.77 ETH ($1,800) while this family of NFTs currently sell for at least $198,000. Twenty minutes later the hacker sold the NFT for 84.2 ETH ($196,000) – realizing a profit of $194,000. One attacker, going by the pseudonym "jpegdegenlove" paid a total of $133,000 for seven NFTs – before quickly selling them on for $934,000 in ether. Five hours later this ether was sent through Tornado Cash, a "mixing" service that is used to prevent blockchain tracing of funds.

“For me, the findings of this study are a reminder that even though society and individuals may actively reject racism, racial prejudices are increasingly subtle and they can find their way into even the most private and personal corners of our lives.”The study also found that certain independent factors were associated with higher QDI scores and a more critical stance on sexual racism: a college education, past experience with racial exclusion, identifying as gay, and living in a more sexually diverse neighborhood.
After putting these two data sets together, the trend was clear: “Sexual racism…
is closely associated with generic racist attitudes, which challenges the idea of racial attraction as solely a matter of personal preference.” As part of their research, Callander and his colleagues created a new eight-question survey to determine men’s attitudes toward racial preferences on online dating apps like Grindr.
In fact, men who used online dating services more frequently were generally more likely to register as racist on the QDI, which might explain why a full 96 percent of the men in the study reported having seen a racially discriminatory profile over the course of their online dating experiences.
For gay men like Eric, 30, who lives in Atlanta, navigating the thorny issues surrounding race in the gay community is a disheartening “day-to-day experience.” (Eric asked that his real name not be used for this article.) Eric, who is mixed-race, told The Daily Beast that some men who list “no Asians” on their dating profiles have messaged him anyway, explaining that he is “white enough” for them or that he is attractive to them because he can “pass” as white.
Like the sexual racism survey, the QDI asks respondents to agree, disagree, or remain neutral in response to certain statements.
In this case, the QDI included items like “Overall, I think minorities in Australia complain too much about ethnic discrimination,” and “I would feel OK about my best friend having a relationship with someone from a different ethnic group.” Lower QDI scores indicate a lower level of tolerance for multiculturalism and racial diversity.
There has been a substantial amount of commentary about sexual racism among men who have sex with men but, until now, no one has tried to quantify it.
Callander told The Daily Beast that his team’s survey will require further refinement going forward but he called it “a good start.”Sixty-four percent of the men said it is acceptable to state a racial preference on an online dating profile and 46 percent said these preferences do not bother them.
With both sets of survey results in hand, the researchers ran two regression analyses to test for any correlation between them.
The results are bad news for anyone who still believes that a disclaimer like “no blacks” is “just a preference.”“Almost every identified factor associated with men’s racist attitudes was also related to their attitudes toward sexual racism,” the researchers reported.
” suggests that the answer to that question is probably “yes.” Sex researchers Denton Callander, Christy Newman, and Martin Holt asked over 2,000 gay and bisexual Australian men how they felt about race and dating through an online survey.

Sanjay Dutt: I’m completely different from my onscreen image
Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt is busy with the promotions of his next film ‘Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster 3′. Recently at an event, the ‘Bhoomi’ star, who is popularly known for his gangster roles in Bollywood, says he is completely different from the image that he has in his films.
During the media interaction, Sanjay Dutt was asked if the director had given him a free hand in the movie in view of his ‘goon rowdy’ image, to which he said, “No, whatever Tigmanshu used to tell, I had to follow it. And talking about my image, I am not like that in real life, I am a different person.”
Be it ‘Vaastav’, ‘Kaante’ or ‘Agneepath’, the 58-year-old actor who is called ‘Baba’ in the industry, has carved a niche for himself with his negative roles.
Sharing details about his character in ‘Saheb Biwi aur Gangster 3′, Sanjay confessed that this role is completely different from the gangster roles in his previous films.
“I have never played such a character. This is different from ‘Vaastav’ or ‘Kaante’. This gangster is an educated person who lives far away from his family and wants love in his life,” said Sanjay Dutt.
Also starring actors Jimmy Sheirgil, Chitrangada Sen, Mahi Gill, Soha Ali Khan and Deepak Tijori, this is the third installment of Tigmanshu Dhulia-Rahul Mittra franchise ‘Saheb, Biwi aur Gangster’.
It is all set to hit the big screen on Friday.

Falmouth, JamaicaNovember 8, 2016 in Jamaica ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C
The majority of people I speak to don't seem to like Falmouth and they tend to stay in the port area.
The port area is very nice, it's all new and pristine, with lots of stores and bars like Jimmy Buffets Margaritaville, the locals cannot get into the port unless they work there.
So the cruise passengers feel safe there, but, it's not the real Jamaica 🇯🇲.
Outside the port gates things change drastically, and the poverty is apparent everywhere. When you leave the port you do get pestered by tour operators and taxi drivers and the like, but once away from the port things settle down and nobody bothers you.
The town itself is very run down, but the people are friendly enough.
There are lots of local bars and restaurants, although I must admit that the bars don't look very welcoming and I personally wouldn't eat in any of the restaurants, as they didn't look to clean.
All in all I found Falmouth an ok place to walk around, not a great deal to see, but still interesting to see how the locals live.Read more

Vanuatu has changed over to using polymer for all its banknote denominations. We are delighted to offer uncirculated examples of the 1000 vatu note in polymer plastic P16. It features the country arms with a standing Melanesian man on the front. The backs show vignettes of life on the islands with cattle grazing and women preparing food. Limited supply.
These large Yugoslavia 1000 dinara notes are dated 1931 and are printed in pastel colours in that
wonderful French style (P29)
The front features a portrait of Queen Marie who was the wife of King Alexander until his assassination
in 1934. She fled to Britain during the Second World War and died in exile in 1961. In 2014
her remains were returned to Serbia to be reinterred.
Lovely notes in AU/Unc.

He also takes Achilles, his choice for the open warrior position along.

They land in Yellowstone and find the park in the same condition as before the war. They also find the Breed. After the war a group of survivalists settled in a valley in Idaho. The lake they used was later found to be contaminated by chemical canisters dropped by a bomber. The chemicals have transformed the inhabitants into bear like mutants. Now the mutants want to expand. They plan to convert thousands with the contaminated water into the Breed and the humans not turned can be used as the mutants favorite food source.
