Unilateral multicystic dysplastic kidney is the most drastic anomaly of the metanephros development. The frequency of the disease has been estimated at 1/4,300 live births. The main concerns of this disease are the follow-up of the involution of the cystic structure and the development of a compensatory hypertrophy of the contralateral kidney, the risk of a contralateral urinary tract malformation and an ipsilateral genital malformation in male as well as in female, the risk of a nephron reduction with hypertension and the progression to chronic renal failure, the risk of an association to a mutation in the HNF1-β gene. The risk to develop a neoplasy in the cystic structure is likely to be similar to those of the general population. The post natal follow-up has to deal with these different issues and to select patients that will need long term follow-up at adult age.

Banknotes featuring a same-sex marriage were considered in Canada, just a few years after marriage was redefined in the country.
The idea was put forward to the Bank of Canada by a market research group that was being paid over £300,000 to look into new banknote designs.
However the proposal was rejected and new banknotes featuring a war memorial and a ship have now been unveiled.
A law which brought in same-sex marriage was passed in Canada in July 2005.
In 2008 market research firm The Strategic Counsel drew up a number of image ideas for new banknotes.
Focus groups were given “the freedom to generate the widest possible range of ideas”.
Other ideas considered – and later rejected – were a black hockey player, a turban-wearing mounted police officer and children of different ethnic backgrounds building a snowman.
However the Bank of Canada eventually settled on an icebreaker ship, a World War I memorial and a medical researcher as pictures for the notes.
The revelations about the controversial same-sex marriage design were revealed by news agency The Canadian Press. It obtained heavily censored internal documents under a freedom of information law.
In October last year it was revealed that Canada was embroiled in a row over a poster which promoted polygamy in schools.
The poster declared: “Love has no gender” and showed a variety of relationships including an image of one man and two women, and two men and one woman.
The poster was one of five different designs, including one that bore the words: “We’re here, we’re queer, we’re in your school”.
In June last year it was revealed that hundreds of people have been penalised for opposing gay marriage in Canada since same-sex marriage was brought in.
The National Review, one of America’s most widely read political magazines, said there have been between 200 and 300 proceedings in less than five years.
Public employees have been disciplined, businesses have been sued and churches have been threatened with sanctions over their matrimonial beliefs.

Micronized progesteron in complex pregravid preparation and pregnancy management in women with recurrent pregnancy loss on the background of chronic endometritis
Keywords:recurrent pregnancy loss, chronic endometritis, micronized progesterone, Utrogestan®, pregravid preparation
Purpose of the study: to determine the effectiveness of micronized progesterone with antibacterial therapy in the complex of pregravid training and during pregnancy in women with recurrent pregnancy loss on the background of chronic endometritis.
Materials and methods. It was assessed the course of pregnancy and childbirth on clinical and instrumental grounds with a prospective analysis of reproductive losses in women with recurrent miscarriage and chronic endometritis. 45 pregnant women with recurrent miscarriage on the background of chronic endometritis formed the main group and were prospectively examined. Main group were divided into subgroups: I subgroup – 24 patients who were included in the study at the stage of perconception training; subgroup II – 21 patients who were included in the study with a diagnosed pregnancy for up to 12 weeks. The control group consisted of 32 pregnant women with a normal course of previous pregnancies without a history of reproductive loss.
Results. Patients with recurrent miscarriage and chronic endometritis who received a complex of preconception training with support of the luteal phase with micronized progesterone showed a statistically significantly lower percentage of clinical symptoms of threatened abortion, with no significant difference in control group. Thus, only 2 (8.3%) patients lost pregnancy in the I subgroup who received the proposed preconception therapy, and 6 (28,5%) women lost pregnancy in the II subgroup who started taking micronized progesterone only from the moment of pregnancy diagnosed.Conclusions. Obtained results prove the effectiveness of the micronized progesterone (Utrogestan®) at the stage of pre-pregnancy training in women with recurrent pregnancy loss and chronic endometritis, as evidenced by the percentage of reproductive losses. The universality of routes of administration for micronized progesterone and possibility of its use throughout pregnancy contributes to individualize of treatment regimens

Last summer, Bartolotta Restaurant Group LLC wanted to add a sign on the north side of its Mr. B’s-A Bartolotta Steakhouse in Mequon.
Doing so would have given the restaurant, at 11120 N. Cedarburg Road, more visibility and, according to Bartolotta, a level playing field with Café Hollander, located kitty-corner at Mequon Town Center.
However, the application did not meet the requirements of Mequon’s multiple-page signage ordinance and was denied by the city’s plan commission. So was the appeal that followed in the fall.
Instead, Bartolotta was allowed to put the “Mr. B’s” name on the sign for Riversite shopping center, where the restaurant is located.
Mequon has long been known for its strict development rules (like its signage ordinance), large homes and modest-sized commercial buildings. But now, the city has slowly begun to embrace the concept of mixed-use developments.
The city’s first mixed-use, urban-style development, Mequon Town Center, was completed about two years ago in a district, also called Mequon Town Center, that city officials had planned for several years. Now, two more projects are planned to complete the town center district: Spur 16 and Foxtown.
Mequon offers unique challenges and opportunities for real estate developers. Maintaining some of the strictest design and development rules in the region, Mequon has earned a reputation as one of the most difficult places in the area to do business. But at the same time, Mequon is also one of the most affluent communities in the state, making it a desirable location for both residential and commercial developers.
“Our building standards and engineering standards tend to be a little more stringent and we tend to be a little fussier,” said Mequon Mayor Dan Abendroth. “Anything too big, too wide, too tall or that generates too much traffic is going to run into a lot of problems here.”
If a homeowner wants to put decorative bricks in front of her house, the bricks must go all the way around the property.
Buildings cannot be taller than the tree line, with the exception of Columbia St. Mary’s Hospital Ozaukee on North Port Washington Road.
Commercial developments must be less than 50,000 square feet, which means a big box store will never be allowed in Mequon. Walmart has tried, unsuccessfully, to get approval for a store there.
“We know it costs more money and makes the economics of a commercial project more difficult so we don’t get as many, but we don’t want to create regional attractions,” Abendroth said.
Early years of development
Like most municipalities, Mequon’s standards for development are based on its land use plan. Mequon’s was first developed in 1985 and now is in its 10th edition.
Connie Pukaite, who served as an alderwoman from 1981 to 1986, mayor of Mequon from 1986 to 1992, and alderwoman again from 2014 to 2017, helped develop the original plan.
In the early 1980s, when the country was in a recession and experiencing double-digit inflation, Pukaite said Mequon residents were in favor of expanding the tax base because the cost to operate the local government was increasing and so were the property taxes.
“People wanted development, but they also wanted Mequon to remain a quality community, so we really worked on developing that first comprehensive land use plan,” Pukaite said.
At the time, more than two-thirds of the city was open farmland. Located about 20 miles north of downtown Milwaukee, Mequon spent decades as a farming community with vacation homes peppered along Lake Michigan and the Milwaukee River.
Abendroth, 63, moved to Mequon in 1983, buying one of those vacation homes along the river that abuts a 100-acre nature preserve. Like many of the baby boomers who moved to Mequon in the 1980s and 1990s, Abendroth wanted to get away from the city.
After the early ’80s recession ended and the economy took off, there was a huge demand for housing in the suburbs, Abendroth said. The farmers were selling their land to developers and the property was zoned residential.
From the mid-1980s and into the ’90s, Mequon experienced a housing boom, with 200 to 300 houses being built per year. The city’s first shopping center, Mequon Pavilions, 10930 N. Port Washington Road, was also built.
When Pukaite became mayor in 1986, she said the development pressure was tremendous.
“Even though we were developing really lovely subdivisions and neighborhoods in the mid-1980s and ’90s that are now very much in demand and desirable, people did not like them,” Pukaite said. “You will always find people who do not like to see any change that development brings. And people like to complain more often than not.”
The tax base began to grow very quickly.
When Mayor James Moriarty was elected in 1992, longtime Mequon residents wanted development to slow down, said Abendroth, who began serving on the Common Council in 1986.
Pukaite views her successor’s term as fearmongering.
“(Moriarty) was able to pander to the fear in people that change would ruin Mequon,” Pukaite said. “It hasn’t ruined Mequon. People want to come here today. And people born and raised here are still here. That is the kind of balance we have tried to bring to Mequon.”
By many accounts, Moriarty was combative, serving six tumultuous years as mayor. A 1997 Milwaukee Magazine article described Moriarty as a “blunt, confrontational politician who kept a Nixon-like enemies list and could be vindictive toward those who opposed him.”
In 1996, Alan Harrington, a former alderman, filed an ethics complaint against Moriarty, claiming that instead of leading, Moriarty “assaults, humiliates and degrades residents.”
Moriarty, who served two terms and declined to run for a third in 1998, could not be reached for comment.
Abendroth, whose wife is Moriarty’s second cousin, agreed Mequon’s government was not collaborative under Moriarty. However, the development restrictions were, and still are, what the residents have asked for, Abendroth said.
Mequon Town Center
In 2005, the concept for the Mequon-Thiensville Town Center, a downtown district three miles west of Mequon’s existing retail concentration of strip malls at West Mequon Road and North Port Washington Road near I-43, was first discussed.
The plan was going to incorporate two parcels of land owned by Mequon developer Cindy Shaffer and parcels owned by the City of Mequon.
Original designs called for bringing buildings closer to the sidewalk and moving parking to the rear of the commercial buildings.
Despite buy-in from both communities, the 3-acre mixed-use project took 10 years to complete.
The economy crashed and Shaffer later partnered with Milwaukee developer Blair Williams, owner of WiRED Properties LLC, who had experience with Main Street-type projects. Before Mequon Town Center, Williams completed the Ravenna project on North Oakland Avenue in Shorewood, which includes 20 apartments and 8,100 square feet of retail space.
In 2015, the Mequon Town Center development opened, with two four-story buildings that include ground-floor retail space and 28 high-end apartments, northwest of Mequon and Cedarburg roads.
Café Hollander opened in 2016, and the development has a total of 36,000 square feet of restaurants and retail, including Colectivo Coffee, The Ruby Tap, Elements Massage and Health in Balance Physical Therapy.
Like Bartolotta, Williams and Café Hollander owner The Lowlands Group LLC didn’t get all of the signs they were hoping for when Hollander was being developed.
During a Jan. 12, 2015 plan commission meeting, Williams argued with plan commissioners about the merits of a glowing red roof sign that would have featured the world “Hollander” and the restaurant’s lion logo.
Roof signs are not allowed in Mequon’s sign code, although Outpost Natural Foods, 7590 W. Mequon Road, was granted one after agreeing to back the sign with a screen wall.
Williams, who did not want to be interviewed for this story, argued in 2015 that the sign was needed for traffic passing by quickly on West Mequon Road. Williams also said that when a building is all one color, it feels more like a strip mall than a retailer’s brand.
Mequon plan commissioner David Fuchs, who was not in favor of the restaurant’s contemporary architectural style, said the sign felt too industrial and did not fit with Mequon.
In the end, with the majority of plan commissioners objecting, the roof sign was removed from the proposal.
Abendroth admits signage has been a “terribly, terribly difficult” issue in Mequon over the years.
“People don’t want big, obnoxious signs, but then businesses want big, obnoxious signs,” Abendroth said. “The chamber even got involved to rewrite the sign code. So we rewrote the sign code to allow for more flexibility. But I don’t think that stopped anyone from complaining. It’s a never-ending battle.”
One professional who has worked in municipalities across southeastern Wisconsin said sometimes elected officials and city staff give designers freedom to develop an interesting catalytic project, and other times they don’t understand the necessity.
He gave the example of Drexel Town Square in Oak Creek and The Corners project in the Town of Brookfield, where traditional signage rules were overlooked so both projects would become the unique cornerstones of those communities.
“When a community tries to design by committee, it is always a very difficult process for developers, to say the least,” he said.
Another developer who has worked in Mequon said the planning department micromanages while “small-time, backroom politics” takes place, making it impossible for developers to do successful business.
“I believe Mequon is getting development in spite of the leadership,” he said.
Despite the overall success of Mequon Town Center, some members of the community have still complained that the development has brought too much traffic to Mequon.
Others don’t like the buildings’ proximity to the sidewalk.
“Change is always hard,” Shaffer said. “But I think overall, from the community, I have heard a lot of positive things – especially from younger couples, who are so glad to have a place to go and love having Café Hollander or Colectivo.”
Shaffer and Williams sold Mequon Town Center to Plover investor Rolly Lokre, principal of real estate development firm Lokre, in December 2016.
Shaffer said she never intended to sell the property, but Lokre, who paid close to $20 million for the development, made an offer that she could not turn down for her investors.
As Mequon Town Center was opening, the city continued the momentum by issuing a request for proposal to develop 14 acres of city-owned land directly west over the railroad tracks, north of West Mequon Road.
A handful of developers competed for the project, including Shaffer and Williams.
Shaffer’s project, to be called Spur 16, was chosen and she purchased the property for $60,001.
“We knew what we wanted to see there, so we gave the land to someone who would do what we wanted there,” Abendroth said. “Even after the Town Center success, it is controversial. People say it’s a backroom deal. Or it’s because we knew her. Well, the next best proposal was Blair, and we know him, too.”
Abendroth said Shaffer’s $27 million proposal was chosen because she is incorporating the original buildings on the site.
“The other proposals offered a sea of apartments and a couple of strip buildings,” Abendroth said. “She had a unique proposal with concrete plans. And she basically has it leased out.”
Spur 16, located at 6300 W. Mequon Road, will include St. Paul Fish Co., Anodyne Coffee Roasting Co. and Purple Door Ice Cream. The Mequon Public Market, which is expected to be open by early fall, is also part of the development.
The project also includes 146 luxury apartments and 10 townhomes that are expected to be occupied in December.
“It’s important that we address the challenges of things like traffic and parking while making sure we are bringing great amenities, restaurants and lifestyle choices to the people of Mequon,” Shaffer said.
Pukaite, who rejoined the Mequon common council from 2014 to 2017, said Mequon Town Center and the development that is now taking place west and south of it has been very intentional.
“I’m very pleased with the way things are going. Frankly, I’ve been chomping at the bit thinking it is moving a little slow,” Pukaite said. “What we wanted was a place where people could identify as the downtown of Mequon. Milwaukee has many neighborhoods and many areas to shop, but there is a downtown district. We wanted to create a downtown district.”
Directly south of Mequon Town Center, on 17 acres of blighted land, a $50 million project being called Foxtown is also in the works.
Foxtown, which is the third phase of the envisioned Mequon-Thiensville Town Center district, is being developed by Thomas Nieman, owner of Mequon-based Fromm Family Foods LLC.
Milwaukee-based Stephen Perry Smith Architects Inc. is the project architect.
The project will include The Foxtown Brewery and Restaurant, which will be housed in a building dating back to 1857 located at 6411 W. Mequon Road. Previous breweries at the site included Jung Brewing, Mequon Brewing and Opitz & Zimmermann Brewing.
The property includes two levels of lagering caves that were used before the invention of refrigeration to age and cellar beers. Nieman will incorporate the caves into the brewery.
The project also has mixed-use buildings with ground-level retail and office or commercial space on the second floor, a 23-home “pocket neighborhood,” and a possible extended stay hotel.
Approximately 96 luxury apartments will also be developed by Bob Bach of Saukville-based P2 Development Co. on land currently used as a school bus parking lot.
The project will be developed in phases between 2018 and 2020, according to plans submitted to the city.
With apartments included at Mequon Town Center, Spur 16 and Foxtown, the city has been meeting recently to discuss putting limits on the number of apartments and types of multi-family developments that can be built in Mequon.
One of the stipulations will be no more than 16 units in a building and the apartments must be part of a larger project, Abendroth said.
“We’re afraid that with a couple hundred apartments coming now, we will saturate the market,” Abendroth said. “We don’t want to make any of them unsuccessful by having too many.”
Some longtime residents and elected officials have balked at the idea of apartments altogether, which angers Pukaite.
“It’s sad that people think apartments will bring an element of people we wouldn’t want in Mequon,” Pukaite said. “When my husband and I first got out of school, we couldn’t afford a house. I’m that ‘element’ they don’t want in their community. Every city, every community should have the capacity to embrace a wide range of citizens – even those who don’t have the same resources as the very well-established.”
At 46 square miles, Mequon is the fourth-largest city (geographically) in the state; but with limited sewer service, much of the development was confined to the southeast corner of the city.
Over the past 30 years, Mequon has morphed from a farming community into an affluent suburb with McMansions situated on sprawling parcels of land.
Whether the commercial development that has occurred during the past decade has happened in spite of the elected officials, as some developers have said, or due to careful land use planning, depends on perspective.
But Mequon and Thiensville residents no longer have to leave their city for a craft beer. Or a massage. Soon, they will have their choice of gourmet ice cream flavors and their own public market.
“There is still an element of people who will criticize everything we have done and how we got to it, but I hear a lot of good things,” Abendroth said. “I live in a small house that overlooks 100 acres. Personally, I don’t care if any of this (development) is here. But I realize for a city to succeed it has to do certain things. From a business standpoint and from a community standpoint, it is a wonderful thing to have.”

Junior Mohawks Beat WR at Home
The Piggott Junior Mohawk football team hosted Walnut Ridge last Thursday at Parker Field, and posted a 22-12 win over their visitors. The Tribe got a big night from eighth grader Joe Carpenter, as he carried the load en route to the conference win.
Neither team was able to get on the scoreboard early in the game, with Carpenter scoring the first of his two touchdowns late in the frame on a 63 yard break-away touchdown run. Jason Jeffries added the two point conversion and the Tribe led 8-0.
The tally remained the same throughout the remainder of the first half, and into the third, before Carpenter broke his second long touchdown run-this time carrying it to paydirt from 62 yards out. Again, the two point conversion was good as the Mohawks led 16-0.
Late in the quarter the Bobcats would answer, as they hit on a 16 yard touchdown pass. But, the conversion attempt was no good, as the Tribe led 16-6.
Midway through the fourth quarter the Mohawks would add to the total, as Kyler Smith broke free for a 51 yard touchdown romp. Failing to convert, the Tribe moved to a 22-6 advantage.
On the following drive the Bobcats would get the final score of the game, which came on an 80 yard pass reception and run. Again the point-after attempt was no good, setting the final score.
Carpenter led all rushers with 228 yards on 14 carries, and two long touchdown runs. Meanwhile, Smith finished with 67 yards on seven carries, and a touchdown, and Jeffries had 17 yards on five totes and a pair of conversions. As a team the Mohawks dominated the stats, racking up 327 yards in total offense while holding Walnut Ridge to 164ówith nearly half those yards coming on the late TD.
Thursday night the Tribe will travel to Hoxie for their contest with the junior Mustangs, kickoff is set for 7 p.m.

This assignment is concerned with the documentation of comprehensive understanding about the ethical dilemmas that nurses pass through the course of their nursing practice that demand careful decision- making on the part of nursing professionals. This is because each individual possesses unique genetic predispositions and environmental- driven attributes that develop individualized thinking patterns, feelings, emotions, perceptions, attitudes, outlooks, orientations, morality, decision- making, problem solving, intelligence, personality and behavior due to which attainment of universality in terms of clinical decision- making is something next to impossible. Nursing Codes of Ethics present the best possible solution of this problem that assist nurses in challenging decision- making scenarios. These standards include beneficence, nonmaleficence, confidentiality, autonomy, justice and fidelity (Bell, 2015).
Given situation (Fry et. al., 2011)
In the given situation, the patient is suffering from terminal illness; prostate cancer and additional adversity in terms of myocardial infarction. Currently he is there in the Recovery Room from where he would be shifted to Coronary Care Unit where a staff nurse; Mr. Packard is appointed to cater his condition. Mr. Packard shifts the patient to CCU and takes good care of him; takes extraordinary advanced measures to stabilize him, monitors his vital signs constantly. His vital signs demonstrate gradual improvements but soon he meets a Cardiologist who tells him that patient has located an advanced directive about not to resuscitate. He soon meets one of the relative of Patient who confirms the news about patient’s advanced directive but it was still not located. Soon he is instructed to communicate conservative care practice to the patient where his situation starts deteriorating. One internee and CCU resident approach Mr. Packard and communicate that patient is being treated cruelly over conservative care measures. After knowing about Advanced Directive, they advise Mr. Packard to turn the IV drip of dopamine off so that patient could be relieved from the cruel treatment permanently.
Application of codes—my decision
Based on the above presented case study, Mr. Packard should NOT turn the drip of dopamine off because of several reasons. The first reason encompasses the suspected presence of Advanced Directive. Since, the Cardiologist and patient’s relative are claiming for the Advanced Directive without any evidence in hand. There is an equal opportunity that no Advanced Directive was determined by the patient and both the persons are assuming it erroneously. A nurse must take any step in the light of appropriate evidences particularly when it revolves around saving any life (ANA, 2015).
Secondly, the principle of beneficence and nonmaleficence suggest that nurse must take any action that fosters patient’s biopsychosocial well- being and they must avoid any action that brings harm to the patient (ANA, 2015). If Mr. Packard slows the IV drips down, it might act as a substantial threat against patient’s survival due to which both the ethical codes would be challenged. Under the influence of these two codes and potential absence of Advanced Directive, I believe that patient must be provided with the advanced care measures. Another reason for the resuscitation is the improving condition of the patient under advance care measures; as his vital signs indicated gradual stabilization such as heart rate, blood pressure and body temperature (Baker, 2005). Patient was conscious as he responded to the verbal commands of nurses, moved his limbs, gripped Mr. Packard’s hands, responded to the pain and opened his eyes. All of these signs indicate his eventual recovery.
Although resuscitating the patient will fulfill the principles of beneficence and nonmaleficence yet it would undoubtedly threaten and challenge the principle of fidelity. The principle of fidelity suggests that nurse must remain cooperative to his staff and other members of healthcare organization (ANA, 2015). He must abide by the decisions made by the authorities at every cost; he must act within his scope of practice. If he goes against the decision of authorities; the principle of fidelity would be broken (ANA, 2015). However, this issue can be eliminated if nurse conveys his concerns to the authorities and persuades them to continue advanced care measures for the patient.
Another issue might occur as well; if the Advanced Directive is relocated and it is confirmed that patient asked for not to resuscitate; what would happen next? (Dahnke, 2009). The principle of autonomy would be threatened because decision was made against his will despite formal directives (ANA, 2015). Patient if successfully resuscitated, comes to know that his decision was not dignified would take a serious toll on the principle of autonomy and self- determination. However, each issue is trivial when compared with saving any life; patient can be counseled about the situation afterwards.
Based on the above mentioned activity, I would undoubtedly suggest Mr. Packard to save patient’s life through continuing IV drips and applying the advanced care measures to ensure patient’s survival. This is because saving a precious life and attempting to ensure patient’s well being is the crux of healthcare profession. My suggestion would attempt to fulfill two primordial Ethical Codes of nursing such as beneficence and nonmaleficence; with the most wanted and desirable outcomes. The principle of fidelity would be threatened but it can be settled through formal talks and persuasion skills; it is less critical in my view because saving a life is more important than breaking any convention or law. The principle of autonomy will remain ambiguous till Advanced Direction is not attempted to be located. In a nutshell, saving a precious life and ensuring patient’s good physical, mental and psychological well being is the hallmark of nursing profession which can never be compromised until or unless it interferes with the self- determination authority of the patient.

MANILA, Philippines – PBA Philippine Cup semi-finalists San Mig Coffee and Barangay Ginebra are excited to begin their best-of-seven series, with both teams expecting a tough showdown starting Game 1 Tuesday night at the Mall of Asia Arena.
Ginebra head coach Ato Agustin said his squad avidly watched San Mig’s do-or-die game against Talk 'N Text last weekend, and pronounced his players ready for the match-up.
“Pagkatapos noong laro, nag-usap kami at lahat naman nag-agree na kailangan ‘yung energy at intensity level namin mataas, at least matapatan man lang ‘yung sa kabila,” Agustin told PBA.ph. “Semis na ito. No other way.”
“Sa tingin ko naman, handang-handa na ang mga players namin. Maganda ang preparations namin, and we’re all excited to be playing San Mig in these semi-finals,” he said.
San Mig head coach Tim Cone was similarly excited to be playing the top-seeded Kings, who crushed Alaska to make the semi-finals.
“I am stoked, pumped up to be playing Ginebra,” he said.
Agustin is expecting to have a tough time in dealing with the San Mig guards, especially PJ Simon and Mark Barroca, who outplayed their TNT counterparts in the quarter-finals.
“Noong last game namin, pinahirapan kami ni PJ sa third quarter, at kahit sa last game nila against Talk 'N Text, nakita namin kung gaano ka-aggressive sila Barroca at (Marc) Pingris. Kailangan mas aggressive kami, opensa at depensa,” said Agustin.
Ginebra is hoping that high-flying forward Japeth Aguilar can continue his level of play after torching Alaska for 29 points to go along with 15 rebounds and five blocks in their last game.
San Mig, meanwhile, figures to get more production from rookie Justin Melton, who has stepped up as James Yap continues to struggle with an elbow injury.
Game time is at 8 p.m.

Apohan mainly engages in the sell-side advisory for the small and medium enterprises in equity funding assignments. As an equity investor, you can explore investing in the opportunities that we have identified. Also, we can identify for you a particular profile of a business for equity investment, providing you the end-to-end buy-side up of advisory.
Equity funding in small and medium enterprises in India is relatively rare. SMEs are primarily refunded through the owner equity of the promoters and the bank loans. The sum of this equity, the bank loan and the internal excess accruals determine the upper limit of capital available for SMEs. Many of these businesses have huge growth potential. Many of them would make an excellent business if a financial turnaround is achieved earning handsome returns for the investors.
Except for the listed companies, there is no well-regulated, well-governed, central equity marketplace. There is no regulator. There is no institutional setup of investment professionals providing the exhaustive services right from identification of the investment objectives, to the identification of a suitable business, to communications and negotiations, to valuation and contracting, etc. It is the investor himself who has to directly co-ordinate strategic as well as the compliance-related services equity transaction from multiple consultants. Investors keep on getting multiple proposals which either are incomplete or are not in alignment with their investment philosophy, wasting their precious time. To address this concern, Apohan has developed a business selection mechanism.
Following are the main concerns of the equity investors when it comes to investing in Indian small and medium enterprises.
Absence of professional corporate environment:
Absence of transparency:
Absence of policy framework:
Absence of documentation:
Inability to appreciate investor requirements:
Inability to work in a collaborative manner:
Absence of reasonable offer:
At Apohan, we fully understand the concerns of the investors. Our selection criteria for companies for equity funding take care of all these concerns.

I draws faeries. They are from another dimension.
I was over the moon to be offered the window space at the Oriel Bevan Jones Gallery in July/Aug 2016 to show my three waistcoats. At the same time, inside the gallery Dandelion Faerie, Daisy Faerie, Mushroom Faerie and Raspberry Faerie are the last to be shown of the original series.
The faerie faces are based on my children and the wonderful faerie like features of some people that I meet.
The drawings are suspended in pine needles, spun with a web of faerie flux (tiny delicate beads) to illustrate how the faeries cross from one dimension to another.
The whole ensamble is then encapsulated within two pieces of glass.
To date, 22 faeries have been captured!
I also like to paint.
Thought Pattern Paintings was commissioned by Red2Green, Cambridge.
It is a series of 39 canvasses set in a spiralling outward motion beginning with a small central canvas. The canvasses illustrate how thoughts can spiral from one small seed of a thought to it’s final huge conclusion. All the canvasses are linked with a piece of string to represent the link in thoughts.

Although there are a lot of video games out there that claim to help your brain, most have not been evaluated for this purpose. A new study at UCSF finds that playing a brain training game for one month can rejuvenate cognitive control for people in their 60s, 70s and 80s.
Neuroscientist Adam Gazzaley worked with video game developers to create NeuroRacer, a game which has users perform two task simultaneously (using a joystick to navigate a car and hitting a button whenever the player sees a particular road sign).
After training, their multitasking ability improved beyond the levels of 20-year-olds. They also got better at remembering information and paying attention.
As people get older, they tend to adopt “more conservative strategies” when it comes to evaluating information and taking action (according to David Meyer, University of Michigan). But they haven’t necessarily lost the ability to act quickly: the video game may help in part because it simply encourages older people to adopt a less conservative strategy.

Have you ever wondered what the point of life is? Have you ever pondered about the purpose of humans? If so, developer Tha Ltd. has come up with an idea that will undoubtedly be unique to your thoughts on the matter, as shown in their latest title, Humanity, a puzzle-platformer that tasks players with leading scores of souls to salvation as a spiritual Shiba Inu.
The idea of Humanity is similar to that of Lemmings. You have a stream of humans that are mindless drones that walk in a sole direction without any intention of changing that, and it's up to you to command them and lead them on a path to safety. To do this, you get to wander around a 3D level as this Shiba Inu character, where you can place specific commands that will affect the way that humans act. For example, this could be as simple as telling them to turn left at a point, or could be more advanced, and revolve around making humans lighter to ensure they travel further before launching them across an open gap.
The point is that you need to get creative with your solutions in this game, as Humanity is all about besting scores of unique levels each with their own challenges and mechanics, which will be iterated and expanded on as the story progresses. At the start of the game, you only have very limited commands, but as the narrative unfolds, new commands and abilities allow you to lead and command the human stream in different ways, and even allows you to traverse levels in different ways as the Shiba Inu protagonist.
This is an ad:
Each level in the story mode seems to have a very specific solution, but you can add flair to this and approach things in your own way. Humanity isn't a game where creativity stands head and shoulder above anything else, but the option to let your creative talents shine is there. The fastest solution will never require much of a thought process, but if you intend to pick up the collectable golden guys along the way, you'll need to use weird and wonderful methods to reach the end goal - and this is something you're encouraged to do, as these golden individuals are both tied to unlocking new stages and acquiring new abilities that simply enhance the overall experience.
Be it simple cosmetic additions (such as equipping some humans with hats) all the way to new and specific abilities that enable you to more easily plan out and tackle a level (for example, being able to pause the stream of humans or determine what a switch does without needing to activate it first), the golden guys in Humanity are more than simple collectibles and side objectives, even if the game will attempt to tell you otherwise.
This is an ad:
The puzzling story mode - that teaches you about the game's mechanics - is just one of the ways to enjoy Humanity. Tha Ltd. has also launched this title with a creation suite that allows players to make their own levels and puzzles for other players to solve. Essentially, thanks to the influence of user-generated content features, there are a near infinite number of ways to enjoy this game, regardless of whether you want to build levels of your own or simply play someone else's creation.
And the reason why the UGC content works so well in Humanity is down to the fact that this is a very simple game to pick up and play. Of course there will be times where a puzzle completely baffles you and leaves you scratching your head for answers, but generally speaking, the core gameplay systems are so straightforward that you always can overcome the problem set out in front of you. That being said, if you do hit a wall, the solutions feature built-in can provide an answer, although only for the base puzzle and not for netting any golden guys along the way.
While Humanity is a fairly basic puzzling game, I was quite surprised by how well it runs in a performance sense on PC. I say this as at times there will be thousands of humans on-screen at once, and yet despite this being the case, the game never seems to miss a beat graphically or performance-wise. Considering how chaotic and crammed levels can become, this never ceased to amaze me.
All in all, Humanity is a fine puzzler that brings some unique challenges to a rather saturated genre. The puzzling and platforming mechanics keep the gameplay feeling fresh level after level, and the UGC focus means that you'll never tire of levels and challenges to overcome. For a game that looks to briefly explore the meaning of life and humanity's purpose, it's also a bizarre and weird take that is hard to be anything but captivated by. If you've been searching for a new puzzler to play around with, this one is definitely worth checking out.
8 / 10
Fun and unique puzzle mechanics. Plenty of content to check out thanks to UGC efforts. You play as a Shiba Inu, need we say more?

COVIDFree@Home used smartphones and smartwatches to monitor patients who tested positive for COVID-19 and were self-isolating at home. Our dashboard provided clinicians an easy and convenient way to virtually oversee their patients. Tight integration with their workflow ensured efficiency and and optimal use of time. Not only did clinicians benefit from this program, but patients had a peace of mind knowing that they are being cared for at home and felt reassured when knowing that their doctor was checking up on them. One of the key goals of this project was to predict which patients will recover at home and which patients will require escalation of care.
COVIDFree@Home ran at University Health Network, Sunnybrook Health Sciences Center, Trillium Health Partners and William Osler Health System.


At least one carjacker was killed and another wounded in a shocking bloodbath when officers swarmed in near a tollbooth to stop the pair from fleeing in a stolen truck.
The alarming incident took place just by a highway tollbooth in the municipality of Taretan in Mexico on Friday, March 5.
Local media reported that the Mexican authorities have identified two men travelling in a white stolen pickup truck.
They believed the pair was involved in an armed robbery and decided to launch a pursuit to arrest them.
Dashcam video taken from a car in the queue shows at least two National Guard officers running towards a white pickup truck while backup officers stop their patrol car next to it.
One officer is seen pulling out the gun and firing at the suspects just when they come out of the vehicle.
Both parties exchange fire as terrified motorists back up their cars and leave the queue.
Just as a red SUV reverses out of the lane, a guardsman can be seen pointing his gun at a suspect, who appears to have been shot and is seen lying on the ground.
The driver eventually turns himself in and is arrested by the police.
According to The Sun of Morelia, the wounded suspect later died at the scene and the driver was taken to a local hospital for treatment to their injuries.
Authorities also recovered several weapons from the suspects, whose names were not provided to the media.
Both directions of the highway were shut while forensic experts of the Regional Prosecutor's Office conducted the investigations.

My right hand officially hates me for these sugar trees, simply because minute motions of squeezing (what seems like) a million points of icing all around an ice cream cone is a recipe for a hand cramp. But oh, it was worth it! These sugar trees were constructed by piping sparkly green royal icing (yay to pearlescent powder!) on pointy ice cream cones and then finishing off with little silver balls for ornaments (and they dried really fast, so A. had to throw those tiny balls on real quick!). Perfect!
And then to keep them nice and fresh, we put them in an airtight container and they looked just like little trees in a terrarium! So cute! And the best part, opening up the lid to smell the sugary forest.
And then the next day, we put them atop the swirly cheesecake (yes, I’m on a bit of a cheesecake kick, I blame it on the neverending cream cheese packages in the fridge!) and added a little snow covered house and a (not to scale) Santa just for the heck of it. And then, we gave it away in holiday spirit!
Christmas baking makes me real happy :)

Earlier this year the World Health Organization (WHO) officially designated addiction to video games as “gaming disorder”. Now it has recognized compulsive sexual behaviour as a mental disorder. However, this announcement comes with some caveats.
Sex addiction as a term has been used for years, and we have a specialized page on sex addiction treatment on our website. Many therapists say that they specialize in sex addiction as part of their addiction medicine. However, experts disagree over whether it is even a true condition. The WHO stated that it is a mental illness, although have not classified as an addictive behaviour. WHO expert Geoffrey Reed said, “conservatively speaking, we don’t feel that the evidence is there yet… that the process is equivalent to the process with alcohol or heroin.” The health organization’s update of the International Classification of Disease (ICD) in June said compulsive sexual behaviour disorder (CSBD) is “characterized by persistent failure to control intense, repetitive sexual impulses or urges… that cause marked distress or impairment” but that it could not be concluded yet that CSBD constitutes the manifestation of a behavioural addiction.
Some may think this is an on-the-fence ruling, but this actually helps a lot of people who are looking for clinical help. The ICD is the benchmark for doctors giving diagnoses, and for health insurance companies. Now that there is a classification, people who have CSBD have greater access to services and resources. It is also important to remember that just like alcohol consumption or playing video games, everyone will have a different level of activity that they find normal. What pushes an activity to an addiction level is when doing that activity is negatively impacting someone’s life. Some people may have a high libido, but if their sexual activities are consensual and do not cause negative ramifications in other areas of their life, there is likely no addiction present. If you are questioning the safety or frequency of your sexual encounters take a look at “The 3 Cs of Addiction” and consider giving our specialist a call to find out the options available to you.

Military analysts say that the Russian Navy's Black Sea Fleet's flagship will make it harder to gain full control over Ukraine's southern coast and ultimately move on the port city of Odesa, although it is unlikely to derail Moscow's war campaign entirely due to the loss of the Russian Navy's flagship.
According to an analysis by the Institute for the Study of War, the main role of the ship, the Moskva, had been to launch precision cruise missile strikes at Ukrainian logistics centers and airfields. A fire onboard the vessel on Thursday led the Russians to pull back several other warships from the Ukrainian coast.
The Moscow loss of the Moskva will reduce Russia's ability to conduct cruise missile strikes but is unlikely to cause a decisive blow to Russian operations on the whole, the institute wrote in its daily report.
The Ukrainians claimed that the vessel had sunk after being struck by an anti-ship missile, something that Moscow denied and Western intelligence could not confirm.

First up, a 1978 VW Golf has appeared on eBay with the selling price of $30,000. What makes this Vee-Dub so special? It’s an unrestored one-owner example with only 8600 miles on the odometer! This guy is so confident that he will even arrange for shipping anywhere from its current location in Berlin, Germany.
There is no doubt that the Mk1 is an icon, but it didn’t start out that way and that’s what makes it so great. Like many Japanese cars, it was designed purely for cheap, practical transportation but became so much more. This reminds us of the 8500-mile Toyota Corona that sold for $16,740 last year, but does the Corona have the international appeal of the Golf? Maybe a nice E20 Corolla would be a more likely candidate. Perhaps our non-US JNCers can chime in. Anyway, it’ll be an interesting one to watch.
The next item is the news that Citroën will be unveiling the C3 Pluriel Charleston at the upcoming Paris Motor Show. Its two-tone paint job is meant to conjure up images of the Citroën 2CV, another piece of utilitarian transport that wasn’t particularly fast or sexy, but somehow managed to capture the hearts of people all over the world.
Here’s the original 2CV. Coincidentally, both of these Citroëns sport the colors of the Japanese royal family. We love seeing homages like this, little nods from the automakers that say to us torchbearers, “We know you’re there, we thank you for your support, and we appreciate it.” What we’re trying to say is, Toyota/Nissan/Mazda/etc… show us some sugar!

Black Tie and Tails brings in $100,000 for Humane Society of Truckee-Tahoe
Ryan Summerlin March 20, 2014
TAHOE/TRUCKEE, Calif. — More than 350 pet lovers and dozens of canine counterparts got all dolled up for the Black Tie and Tails event. Already in its sixth year, Black Tie and Tails is the Humane Society of Truckee-Tahoe’s largest fundraiser — raising more than $100,000 to help care for, foster, and place the community’s homeless pets.
The event sold out six weeks in advance, garnering overwhelming support from local businesses.
“We are beyond grateful for everyone who supports this event, whether they sponsor, donate items to our silent auction or attend as guests,” said Stephanie Nistler, executive director of HSTT. “It’s thanks to them that we now host one of Tahoe’s premier events that raises funds to help us continue to speak up for all the little guys in our community who cannot speak for themselves. “
Next year’s Black Tie and Tails event, to be held again at The Ritz Carlton, Lake Tahoe, is scheduled for Feb. 14.
Sponsors included Squaw Valley/Alpine Meadows, Donner Truckee Veterinary Hospital, Northstar California, Truckee Tahoe Pet Lodge, Roxanne Duffield State Farm Insurance, the Sharp Real Estate Team and Mutt Lynch Winery.
Additional support and contributions came from Small Pond Studio, Tahoe School of Music, See Spot Run, Keoki Flagg, TIP Printing and Graphics, the Real Graphic Source and Ted Owens.

Here's what Ford had to say about Ross and the Suns:
He's big, he's super athletic and he can really shoot the basketball. The Suns desperately need help in their backcourt, and Ross could be a very solid addition.
There's a good chance Ross won't have Steve Nash in the desert to pass to him but he could be a welcomed addition to the rebuilding project in Phoenix. He has a little bit of Joe Johnson to his game aside from the proven ability to create for others.
Ross could come in with a chip on his shoulder due to him trying to prove that he should have been chosen ahead of fellow two-guards in UConn's Jeremy Lamb, Duke's Austin Rivers and Syracuse's Dion Waiters, which would be a good thing for a Suns team looking for some edge.

Visualization allows you to envision how you will successfully navigate business challenges and opportunities. It can be as simple as closing your eyes and imagining--in as much detail as possible--the upcoming steps you must take to achieve success. It can be as brief as a few minutes or as long as necessary to complete the mental picture of what you want to accomplish. Mornings and evenings are the best visualization times because that's when we tend to be the most relaxed.
"The original creators of the law of attraction going back to the 1880s including Prentice Mulford,James Allen, Thomas Troward, William Walker Atkinson, Bruce MacLelland, Wallace Wattles, Napoleon Hill, Earl Nightingale, and W. Clement Stone promoted the belief that this is a universal law in which you attract only what you are thinking about. Modern LOA proponents such as Rhonda Byrne, Jack Canfield, Bob Proctor, John Assaraf, Joe Vitale, The Hicks family, and many others have stated similar beliefs."
Remember that there is a difference between sending out a hope that something you'd like to happen will happen and putting in the appropriate effort or planning to ensure that something actually will happen. If you don't believe that something will happen, perhaps you're not willing to plan and work for it. You need a balance of both hope (to inspire) and effort (to achieve) for an outcome to be realized.
the trouble is in the mind, for the body is only the house for the mind to dwell in, and we put a value on it according to its worth. Therefore if your mind has been deceived by some invisible enemy into a belief, you have put it into the form of a disease, with or without your knowledge. By my theory or truth, I come in contact with your enemy and restore you to your health and happiness. This I do partly mentally and partly by talking till I correct the wrong impressions and establish the Truth, and the Truth is the cure.
"Scientific experiments using a placebo effect for health reasons have shown that if you believe something will make you feel better. Rven if it is a sugar pill and not a true medication, it will cause you to think you feel better and then you do. ... Every time you think of a negative thought, you need three positives ones to negate it. If you focus all your positive energy on a positive outcome, it will happen. You can see this with prayer, as people focus on sending a positive message up in prayer for a positive outcome," Estes explains.
Excited about the clarity and practicality of the translated word from the Beings who call themselves Abraham, Esther and Jerry Hicks began disclosing their amazing Abraham experience to a handful of close business associates in 1986. Recognizing the practical results being received by themselves and by those people who were asking practical questions and then applying Abraham’s answers to their own situations, Esther and Jerry made a deliberate decision to allow the teachings of Abraham to become available to an ever-widening circle of seekers of how to live a happier life. Using their San Antonio, Texas, conference center as their base, Jerry and Esther have traveled to approximately 50 cities a year since 1989, presenting interactive Law of Attraction workshops to those leaders who gather to participate in this expanding stream of progressive thought. And although worldwide attention has been given to this philosophy of Well-Being by Leading Edge thinkers and teachers who have, in turn, incorporated many of Abraham’s Law of Attraction concepts into their best-selling books, scripts, lectures, and so forth, the primary spread of this material has been from person to person—as individuals begin to discover the value of this form of spiritual practicality in their personal life experiences. In November 2011, Jerry made his transition into Non-Physical, and now Esther continues to conduct the Abraham workshops with the help of her physical friends and co-workers and, of course, with the Non-Physical help of Abraham and Jerry. People are able to access Abraham directly by attending the seminars in person or by participating in the online live streaming of most events. There is also an extensive YouTube library of Abraham videos. Abraham—a group of uplifting Non-Physical teachers—present their Broader Perspective through Esther Hicks. And as they speak to our level of comprehension through a series of loving, allowing, brilliant, yet comprehensively simple essays in print and in sound, they guide us to a clear connection with our loving Inner Being, and to uplifting self-empowerment from our Total Self.

Although the theory behind the Law of Attraction is very simple, putting it into practice on a conscious level takes work. Negative and limiting belief systems are buried deep inside us. Changing or ridding yourself of ideas and old habits that defeat you at every turn is possible. Are you up to the challenge? Start by learning how to break the habit of attracting negatives.
We are what we attract, or so it says in this book. I initially purchased this book for my husband and it does offer some interesting reading material, just not really what I thought it would be after reading so many glowing reviews about the book. Clearly, one does have to be open-minded when reading this book, but also take it all with a grain of salt. It more reminds me of "The Secret" and all of it's hype when it was so popular. According to my understanding of the basic concepts of the book is that everything that happens or lack there of begins in our own minds. Yes, true, that "as so a man think, he becomes". The value of this book is in promoting the idea that you have more control over your life than you think. The mind is capable of a lot, including how your body lives, how you present yourself to other people, etc. When you have a positive train of thought, you will have better health, better prosperity and better life in general. That simply is true and cannot be denied. I think this book is a good stepping stone on where to begin, but is seems reminiscent of Napoleon Hill's, "Think and Grow Rich," or James Allen's, "As a Man Thinketh,". What the book doesn't tell you is that when negative things happen to you, your positive attitude can turn those things into far less tragic events. There are other books that will make this more clear.
And no, "But science is sooooooooo mysterious, we can't know for sure..." is not a legitimate argument. REAL science states that you DO NOT believe that something is true UNTIL it has been positively proven, NOT that you treat as if it is because "maybe." And no again, doing so is NOT "keeping an open mind" - keeping an open mind means accepting things for good reasons, not "just because." That's called "being a gullible sucker."
I used to do a lot of work helping people to stop smoking. There are only 2 reasons people don’t stop smoking. One, because they don’t want to (often this is subconscious) Two, because they don’t believe it’s possible. Or they assume it will be incredibly difficult and painful, and they can’t do it without suffering forever. (Again, this is often subconscious and it is a flawed assumption).
The technique works because you are using the power of intention to change the energy within and around you. Our example of a job offer is unlikely to materialize out of the blue unless you take action to enable the manifestation to occur. What? You thought the wish would simply materialize while you sat on the sofa? Sorry, you have to do some additional work.
I do not claim to have all of those things either. However, I do have most of the things that I described and I managed to attain them through my value-based goals, plans, process-visualizations, and inspired action. I didn't ask the universe for it, you might say that the universe knew, but I was driven to get these things. I didn't act or pretend like I already had them.
Enlist others to hold you accountable for what you've committed to do. You've followed all the steps outlined above, so don't keep it to yourself. The more people you've got pulling for you--and keeping you accountable--the better. When you invite team members to hold you accountable, you are giving them a unique opportunity to see your thought process and how you visualize success. Let them know what you're working to attract, and you'll receive the support you need to achieve your next goal.
You may be perfectly healthy and yet stressful situations come up all the time… Your boss overworks you all day, your work colleagues look down on you, your marriage is not working, your kids do not respect you, you aren’t getting along with your family members, you are stuck in traffic on the one day you need to get somewhere on time, you miss a lifetime opportunity, your career is plummeting, … the list of stressful situations we encounter on a daily basis is endless.
Here is where “yin” and “yang,” “masculine” and “feminine,” start to intermingle. Its season is spring. Its moon phase is the half waxing moon. It's the pollination. The insemination. The energy of life becoming embodied. Nothing short of a miracle, this happens only when the masculine and feminine unite. So much growth happens during this stage, but only at a very microscopic level. It’s underground. Hidden. Like a seed or an embryo. Protect the mystery. Incubate and keep it to yourself.
There's an old saying, perhaps you've heard it, "consider the source"? Do you not see the irony in your criticism of LOA, classifying it as a "pseudoscience", with your employer being PSYCHOLOGY TODAY? if I'm not mistaken, has the field of psychology itself, in It's infancy as well as today, not been debunked, by "actual science", referring to it also as "pseudoscience"?
Manifestation Magic is developed by the Alexander Wilson for altering the present circumstances of the stressed men and women and adds happiness to their life. This guide can help your mind who has been lost within the hustle and bustle with the today’s competitive life. It really is a step-by-step system which will teach you the best way to eliminate all of the unfavorable power out of the life. Almost all of the people are unaware from the scientific method that Regan has described in this system. Just after reading the Manifestation Magic, you will be capable of make money by tackling the challenges and previous failures on the life. All your worries, anxiety and anxiousness will disappear out of your life in the event you implement the understanding described in this system inside your day-to-day life. It doesn’t matter what your background or history is, this system will in fact enable you to raise your wealth.
Step 1: Define what you want. Often we think we know what we want, but we can only define it by what we do not want. In the process of defining all the things we do not desire we end up shifting our energy and attention to manifest that rather than what we want. Where we place our attention is where the energy of manifestation goes to work. Clearly working at manifesting our dreams this way will not be productive.
I AGREE with you when you invite people not to be fooled but, not to be fooled by just believing the first guy who introduces himself as an expert when it is obviously just leading you to pay 299 for a magical LOA course so to go deeper in the study of it before dismissing totally a life changing knowledge. Yours are valuable tools to but there is no need to be general and discriminate 100% something that you have not fully experience yourself.
There's one question every business leader must answer: What do I truly want? You need to be specific about what you want so you can figure out how to get there. Do you want to find your next great hire? Do you want to grow your business 20 percent by year-end? Hyper-focusing your mind on the answer to that question will set you on a course to consciously and subconsciously make things happen. Then you can set SMART goals (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant and Time-bound) so you and your team members will know exactly what you're aiming to achieve.
The Law of Attraction is among the most popular of the Universal Laws. Advocates of this mind-power paradigm generally combine cognitive reframing techniques with affirmations and creative visualization to replace limiting or self-destructive ("negative") thoughts with more empowered, adaptive ("positive") thoughts. A key component of the philosophy is that in order to effectively change one's negative thinking patterns, one must also "feel" (through creative visualization) that the desired changes have already occurred. This combination of positive thought and positive emotion is believed to allow one to attract positive experiences and opportunities by achieving resonance with the proposed energetic law.
Step 2. Write down your desire. It might help to clarify it beforehand. For example, you may have a strong intention to find a job so write down, “My intention is to be offered the job I seek. The job title is XXXX. My pay grade is $XXX,XX. The location of my job is XXXX. My boss is amenable. My work colleagues are friendly and helpful.” You will write this anew every day, so keep it short.
Creating a vision board is easy. Go through magazines or search the internet to find images that represent what you want to attract. It doesn’t matter if the images are metaphorical or literal. The important thing is that the images speak to you and connect with your desires. Attach the images to a board and place it in a prominent place where you will look at it every day.
"Recognizing that you want to try something new and different is the first step. Figuring out where you’ve gone wrong is the next step. Recognizing the negative places in your life, and the mistakes you’ve made are important next steps towards using positive approach to manifest your destiny. And finally, focus on intentions and behaviors that are positive and geared for your successes," Masini adds.
Energy orbiting is the key that helps one change the negative traumas, thoughts, and beliefs in the subconscious mind and conscious mind into positive ones. These are the negative aspects which are to blame for the chain of unfortunate events taking place in your life. Effective energy orbiting is done by reaching deep within yourself into your “Transformation zones”. Here you should control your mind so that it shifts from the Beta state characterized by wakefulness and activity into Theta state characterized by calmness and deep meditation or deep sleep.
Learning this was a lightbulb moment for me! I love this principle of the Law of Attraction. Some people refer to this “inner being” as your “higher self,” “soul,” or “core.” This is the part of you that only wants you to experience joy and love and not experience feeling bad, seeing yourself as unworthy or unlovable and other negative beliefs and emotions we can tend to dive right in to. The teachings of Abraham say that your emotions are indicators of either a “match” or “mismatch” in what you are thinking/feeling and what your inner being is wanting. When you become out of alignment with what your inner being wants, you feel this as negative emotion. You are essentially feeling the separation of yourself from you inner being/knowing.
Another example could be to bring new a relationship into your life. Define clearly the type of relationship you most need, even if it is not the obvious first desire. Although you may want committed intimacy, maybe what you need most at the moment is supportive friendship. Assess any limiting beliefs you hold about that type of relationship. Finally, decide what you need to clear out of your mind or heart to allow this is to manifest for you now.
You can do this yourself. You can become someone who purposefully creates ripples in the universe. Did you know, everything you do energetically ripples out and affects others? And the ripples then come back to you. This process is fast. Don’t underestimate how possible it is for you to be a true catalyst for change. You can be a magnet for all the positive ripples floating around out there. Like a radio station, you can tune into the good stuff. Starting right now.

Further, visual affirmations are useful ways of reminding yourself to stay connected to positive thoughts throughout the day. A sticky note on the bathroom cabinet, the fridge or the front door can keep you in check if your confidence is wavering, and a “dream board” can be designed to represent your desires and aims in pictorial form. We’ll explain a wide range of ways in which you can use affirmations and teach you how to design them to accurately reflect your underlying goals.
"[Manifesting destiny and the Law of Attraction are best explained by] the Law of Karma. It basically states that you will get negative if you think negative. For example, if you say, 'I never win anything' and you enter a raffle, you simply won’t win. You declared you won’t. If you focus on winning, and the person next to you puts out more positive energy than you do, you won’t win. The key is to give out the same energy you want back. If you want happiness, you look for the happiness and surround yourself with it and yours will grow," Estes explains.

11) Blame the Victim: The only reason that anything bad could ever happen to you is because you were thinking bad thoughts. If someone rear-ends you in a car – 100% your fault. If you get breast cancer – 100% your fault (not genetics). If you get raped or abused – 100% your fault. Children getting killed by terrorists, sick babies in the intensive care unit, victims of floods, hurricanes, natural disasters, the Holocaust – yes, their fault. We all know deep inside that this is ridiculous to even suggest. However, it is a basic, fundamental premise of the LOA. You NEVER attract something you are not thinking about. When anything bad happens to anyone, they are to blame. Don’t feel sorry for anyone who has cancer or a disease or starving children in poverty, they brought it on themselves. What causes obesity? Slow metabolism? No, fat thoughts. From LOA experts, “Disease cannot live in a body that’s in a healthy emotional state.” (Bob Proctor). “You cannot catch anything unless you think you can, and thinking you can is inviting it to you with your thought.” (From The Secret). “Good thoughts and actions can never produce bad results; bad thoughts and actions can never produce good results. Suffering is always the effect of wrong thought in some direction.” (James Allen). “If man will think only thoughts of perfect health, he can cause within himself the functioning of perfect health…” (Wallace Wattles). “Every individual creates every aspect of their experiences – we are in complete control of our health throughout our entire lives. There are no accidents.” (Esther Hicks).
Law of attraction practiced prior to the 1800s. If you are referring to arcane practices in Babylon and Biblical times that we have little knowledge of, I am aware and have looked at these. If there are some specific and relevant references I would be interested in hearing them. As you believe in a LOA, most of what you hear will be filtered through this lens. As I now do not, most of what I hear will be seen through that lens.
Banish guilt and feelings of self-doubt from your life and your internal world forever. No negotiation. I did it, and it worked like a dream. You have no more right or need to feel any more guilty than a butterfly. And like a butterfly, you are free to fly and celebrate your uniqueness today. You are ready for a life of awesome results and celebration. But are you ready to give yourself permission to do this yet?
Do you think you’d stay in bed if you’d start your day like that? Of course not – you’d be feeling energized, you would get out right away to do things that will make you feel even better – you’d be taking action needed to fully experience the miracle of the day you’ve created – for yourself, with your thoughts, focusing all of your words, thoughts and actions to attract more of that great feeling!
14) Anecdotal Evidence: Evidence that the LOA is an effective way of attaining goals is anecdotal, non-scientific and self-reported. This fact does not prove it doesn’t exist. But closely scrutinize whether you want to invest time, money and energy into something that is ineffective and potentially harmful. People are much more likely to publish successes than failures. We also practice apophenia (the belief that there is meaning behind random data) when we focus on coincidences without regard to the much greater number of times that we do not experience coincidences. How many times did you think of that person and they didn’t call you? Of the two thousand people I thought of today, only two actually called. That’s not a great percentage – 0.1%. But if I think of it in terms of the people that called we get a different story. I thought of Bert and he called me – that’s 100%!
You may find that you thought you knew exactly what you wanted, but now that you are no longer defining your dream in terms of what it lacks you are no longer sure what it is that you really desire. Definition, clarity this is often the most challenging part of the process and where novice manifestors give up. Do not give in; take as long as it takes to get clear on what you want in your life. What do you want to create?

A head to head comparison of the 2022 Nevada Primary gives us an idea of the break down of the voters.
Steve Sisolak received 39.61% (155.7k votes) beating both Joe Lombardo who had 21.92% (86.15k votes) and Joey Gilbert who had 15.45% (60717 votes) in the overall count of votes in Nevada if the election were among these 3 candidates.
Joey Gilbert wins 9 counties out of the counties in the state of Nevada to support his claims of his movement in the country. Steve Sisolak won 4 counties and Joe Biden won just 2 counties in the state of Nevada.
These 10 counties play an important role in these primary elections. If a candidate, can get a sizable majority, it becomes very difficult to win majorities in the smaller counties with out voter out reach and increased voter participation in them.
Joey Gilbert vs Joe Lombardo
Joey Gilbert vs Steve Sisolak
Steve Sisolak vs Joe Lombardo
In a head to head match up on just the total number of votes, Joe Lombardo (58.7%) beats Joey Gilbert (41.3%). Steve Sisolak (71.9%) beats Joey Gilbert (28.1%) and Steve Sisolak (64.4%) beats Joe Lombardo (35.6%).
Steve Sisolak simply won the majority of the top 10 counties. Joe Lombardo and Joey Gilbert could not achieve a victory since Steve Sisolak captures so many voters across most counties.

My Sister and Other Liars is published by Thomas and Mercer on 1st May 2017 and is available to buy here
Sam is seventeen, starving herself and longing for oblivion. Her sister, Jena, is mentally scarred and desperate to remember. Between them, they share secrets too terrible to recall.
Eighteen months earlier, Sam was still full of hope: hope that she could piece together Jena’s fragmented memory after the vicious attack that changed their family forever. But digging into the past unearthed long-hidden lies and betrayals, and left Sam feeling helpless and alone in a world designed to deceive her.
Now, in a last bid to save her from self-imposed shutdown, Sam’s therapist is helping her confront her memories. But the road to recovery is a dangerous one. Because Sam has not only been lying to her doctors: she’s been hiding dark secrets from herself.
With Ruth Dugdall, you are pretty much guaranteed a strong, intelligent and emotional storyline. Her latest novel is no exception. My Sister and Other Liars is rather a brilliant mystery, with an uncomfortable dark side.
It is a story of two sisters, Sam and Jena. Sam is locked away in a mental health unit, undergoing treatment for anorexia. It is clear that she is dealing with some tough emotional baggage by refusing to eat and to see her family. She is angry. She is confused. We see her pain and hear her mixed up adolescent thought processes. Slowly she begins to open up to her psychiatrist about her past, in the hope that she will gain her freedom. The question is though what drove Sam to this? What is she refusing to acknowledge? Jena is Sam’s older sister, a woman in her twenties. Jena was brutally attacked, some eighteen months ago. This devastated the whole family. Only Sam seems to want to find out the truth behind this.
This is truly powerful stuff. The story of Sam is one that it is easy to believe in. A girl wasting away, within a psychiatric unit and a mystery surrounding her. We meet a bunch of teenage patients who want to be as thin as possible. We see the healthcare workers who are trying to make sense of these children, on the verge on life and death. No one can possibly hear about Sam and not feel compassion for her or the other girls in the unit. This is just one aspect of Sam, as we get to know her and see her inner strength and determination. Dugdall captures the small eating disorders psychiatric unit beautifully, with the almost strained and complex relationships between the mental health workers and their patients.
Check out Ruth Dugdall if you want a complete breath of fresh air from the psychological crime genre. My Sister and Other Liars was marvellous and slightly disturbing!
