We are Noëllie and Oliver Scherrer, a couple on a mission to inspire people to elevate their home with handmade unique treasures and live in true harmony with their space.
Originally from Switzerland, we spent many years living and working in the beautiful country of Indonesia. Living there opened us up to so much. It gave us a deeper appreciation for nature, encouraged us to live simply and fully, and sparked our fierce passion for sustainable artisan products.
During our time in Indonesia, we had the pleasure of getting to know many master artisans who use and recycle natural materials like teak wood, bamboo and coconut shells to produce exquisite furniture and décor. The beautiful items they create are not only infused with love, care, and tradition, but also carry a light environmental footprint.
We quickly realized that these artisans were only offering these one-of-a-kind products locally. They were very keen to offer their pieces abroad, yet didn’t have the time, resources, money, or professional skills to do so.
This realization sparked an idea: what if we could partner with these artisans to offer their products globally? Not only would this improve the lives of these hardworking local artisans, but it would also encourage consumers to live more mindfully, support the environment, and provide people around the globe with truly unique home décor items.
With these ideas at the forefront of our minds, Mojo Boutique was born.

New Zealand is a parliamentary democracy with the British queen as the nominal head of state. It has a unicameral (1 house) parliament with 120 seats; half of these represent constituencies and the other half are "list" seats. In the mixed member proportional (MMP) system established in 1996, each voter has 2 votes: 1 for the constituency member of parliament and 1 for a party. After the constituencies are declared, the list seats are calculated so that a party's representation in parliament is similar to the party vote that they received in an election. In contrast to the "first past the post" system in which 2 parties predominate (as in the United States), MMP has allowed smaller parties to be represented, although they must either have a constituency member of parliament elected or get a minimum of 5 percent of the national party vote to qualify for list seats.
Throughout the 20th century, until 1996, the political system was dominated by 2 political parties: a conservative party called "National" since the 1930s and a liberal/left wing party called "Labour." The first Labour Party government was elected in 1935 and began constructing a welfare state , building state housing, and investing in health and education. New state enterprises were established. From the 1940s to the 1970s the Labour and National parties exchanged control several times, but the welfare state remained intact. Ironically, the election of a new Labour government in 1984 began a movement to weaken the welfare state and to reduce the role of government in the economy (a "monetarist" approach). The reforms instituted by the new government included progressive tariff reductions, privatization of many state enterprises, and cutbacks in some social services. These policies were pursued and, in some cases, strengthened by the National Party government elected in 1990; for example, there were cutbacks in social welfare payments and more privatizations. It was not until the election of 1999 that some of these policies were slowed or reversed with the election of a coalition government led by the "reformed" Labour Party in coalition with the "left-wing" Alliance Party.
The impact of MMP on the political system has been considerable. The 2 governments elected since 1996 have been coalitions, first of "the right" and then of "the left." In each parliament, several smaller parties have held 5 or more seats and, in some cases, have had an influence on coalition government policy. The smaller parties range from the ACT Party, which advocates more radical "monetarist" reforms than those already undertaken, to the Green Party, which has among its parliamentary members advocates for legalization of marijuana and environmentalists of various types.
Income tax is the largest source of revenue for the government, accounting for 46 percent of all taxes in 1998-99 (with an additional 5 percent withholding tax on interest and dividends). A Goods and Services Tax (GST) was instituted in 1996 and currently stands at 12.5 percent on virtually all goods and services; this tax contributed 26 percent of tax revenue. Company tax contributed only 12 percent to revenue in 1998-99 while the other 11 percent of tax came from various duties . There is a 3-layered income tax system, with income up to NZ$38,000 a year taxed at 19.5 percent, then income above this and up to NZ$60,000 taxed at 33 percent, and income above that is taxed at 39 percent. Companies are taxed at a flat rate of 33 percent.

They have recently started exchange of best practice projects in course creation in relation to childcare (Childcare 50+) and innovative new methodologies for educating at primary school level (InEdu).
ProActivate also provide KA1 and other training activities in a number of areas including health promotion, project management, motivation, and business skills. They are invested in the long term impact of their projects and finding new ways to exploit their products, networks and partnerships to facilitate greater community development.

OTTAWA- An Old Ottawa South man and Elections Ontario are polls apart.
Herman "Harry" Latulippe received his voter card in the mail Thursday, telling him he was supposed to head to his old neighbourhood on June 12 -- somewhere he hasn't lived in 13 years.
Latulippe has lived in the Main and Lees area since 2010.
He's voted in two elections since then, one federal and one provincial. Both times, he's voted at Immaculata High School, almost directly across the street from his apartment.
That's where his voter card has always told him to go.
But not this year.
This year, it told him to head across the Canal to the Glebe and vote at 240 First Ave.
"Seems like there must be a waste of taxpayer dollars here," he said.
Not only does Latulippe not live in the Glebe anymore, but neither does his family. The home where he grew up was sold in 2002 after his mother passed away.
"There's no link to the family at all," he said.

I heard a 23-year-old woman complain: “I must be getting old when 11:00 at night is late.” It got me thinking.
It turns out that the explanation for why teens are natural night owls has recently been elucidated. They can’t help it — they just don’t get tired until way later in the evening. Then, of course, their bodies want to stay asleep well into the next morning in order to feel sufficiently rested. Since most of them are stuck with the artificial structure of school hours, they’re screwed — and condemned to suffer constant fatigue from cumulative sleep deprivation. Old news.
Then I started wondering about the back end of this phenomenon. Even though our American “youth culture” attributes great coolness to late-night happenings, since this pubertal sleep shift is biological, there must come a point at which their pineal glands go back to releasing melatonin at a more reasonable hour. Does 10 years sound about right? I remember not being nearly as enamored of the “all-nighter” by the time medical school rolled around, as opposed to college, where staying up all night was a regular occurrence. Certainly by residency (ages 26 to 30), it was a killer. Read more »

I’ve watched the pendulum swing back and forth on the wisdom of mom sharing her bed with a baby. The American Pediatric Society has come out against the practice, because of a higher incidence of sudden infant death. But nearly half of all British moms sleep with their baby at times, and one-fifth share a bed regularly during the first year.
According to a British study published in [the October 2010 issue of] Pediatrics, the value of breastfeeding should be considered before advising mothers not to share beds with their infants. The results showed that mothers who shared a bed with their newborns were better educated and of a higher socioeconomic status, and that those whose children routinely slept in their beds during the first 15 months of life reported a significantly greater incidence of breastfeeding.
“Both cross-sectional epidemiological and sleep laboratory studies showed close links between the frequency and duration of breastfeeding and the practice of bed sharing,” writes Peter Blair, PhD, Community-Based Medicine and Social Medicine, University of Bristol, United Kingdom, the author of the study.

Our busy lifestyles often aren’t conducive to getting the recommended amount of sleep at night. According to the National Sleep Foundation, adults need between seven and nine hours of sleep every night.
Dr. Kenneth Berg of the Mayo Clinic states that people who get less than seven hours of sleep per night have a higher mortality than those who have adequate sleeping habits.
Inadequate sleep has been linked to increased risk of motor vehicle accidents, an increase in body mass index and a greater likelihood of obesity due to an increased appetite caused by sleep deprivation, increased risk of diabetes and heart problems, increased risk for psychiatric conditions including depression and substance abuse, and decreased ability to pay attention, react to signals or remember new information.

Coconut oil can help you grow your hair and make it shiny and manageable. The coconut oil is rich with lauric acid, fatty acids, antioxidants, antiviral, antifungal, antibacterial, and anti-microbial properties that can condition the scalp and regrow hair. It naturally improves the health of the scalp and fights infections, and fungus. The Journal of Cosmetic Science published an article about the ability of the coconut oil to reduce protein loss. The lauric acid’s very low molecular weight allows the oil to penetrate the hair shaft and nourish the hair. As a result, you actually grow a longer, stronger, and thicker hair with your natural color. Coconut oil is a rich source of carbohydrates, minerals and vitamins, which makes it an effective solution for thinning hair.
The coconut oil has been used in Asia for thousands of years to naturally keep the hair strong, protected, and nourished. The regular use of the oil has shown remarkable results, such as the prevention of excessive hair loss and baldness. The coconut oil can take care of your scalp health, repair damaged hair, and boosts hair growth. The scalp and hair can easily absorb and let it fill and nourish the hollow shafts.
The coconut oil is rich in medium chain triglycerides. Because of this component, it is able to penetrate deeply and easily inside the shaft of the hair. It helps retain protein that you may have lost due to overexposure of the external environment. This makes the hair protected from protein loss and results to more body.
Regular use can seal the moisture in your hair so it appears fuller, thicker, stronger, and shinier. It protects and reduces hair falls and breakage. One study concluded only the coconut oil has the right properties to protect the hair from protein loss and hair damage.
Coconut oil can do wonders for your hair. It has the ability to enrich your hair’s natural color, enhance hair luster, prevent premature graying, prevent baldness, maintain scalp health, and control dandruff.
The coconut oil is composed of 48% lauric acid, which gives the coconut oil its antimicrobial properties. The lauric acid is converted into monolaurin by the body. The monolaurin has antiviral, antimicrobial, antiprotozoal, and antifungal properties.
It can disrupt and destroy the fungus, bacteria and viruses. It is an effective treatment for fungal infections like ringworm or athlete’s foot. It targets bacterial infections, such as herpes, measles, influenza, HIV, and hepatitis C.
Hair loss prevention
Coconut oil treatment helps prevent hair loss and stimulates the growth of balding or thinning hair. The lauric acid is a fatty acid that binds hair protein. It helps in preventing hair breakages and protecting the roots of the hair.
Treatment to grow your hair
Heat the jar using hot water or heat the oil using the palm of your hands. Massaged the coconut oil on your scalp to support hair growth. Apply with gentle pressure for 10 minutes, 3 or 4 times per week. Ensure you work through the hair strands up to hair follicles and roots to get the full benefits of this hair regrow treatment.
A couple of teaspoons, depending on the length and thickness of your hair, can be applied at night and washed out in the morning. You may want a shower cap to sleep on with it.
You can use a little more and thoroughly soak the hair for an hour or two before washing in the morning (if you hate overnight). You can repeat the process every few days.
Use 1 or 2 teaspoons of coconut oil to massage your hair and scalp. Massage until completely soaked, but not dripping wet. Let it stay for about 15 to 60 minutes.
Massaging your scalp for 15 to 20 minutes a week is enough to stimulate blood flow and maintain a healthy hair follicle.
A few drops of coconut oil can give an extra luster when you apply it on your hair right after washing your hair or shower. Rub a few drops of coconut oil into your palm. Brush it on your hair and scalp using your fingertips.
What users say
One testimony written by a woman experiencing hair loss claimed she used the virgin coconut oil for her anti aging skin care beauty regimen and to prevent hair loss. The falling hair problem took off in a matter of 3 months. A man claimed his receding hairline filling in after a few weeks of using the virgin coconut oil. A hair stylist in New York massaged her hair with two teaspoons of warm coconut oil before bed and just washed it off in the morning to maintain her soft and shimmering hair.
Tradition and history
Countless generations and ancient medical texts claimed the therapeutic use of the coconut oil. It is considered a sacred food that heals most of their common ailments. Coconut oil is used as basic ingredient in baby formula, medicine, hospital feeding formula, weight loss aid, and sports and fitness products.
In alternative medicine, coconut oil has been known to prevent and treat high cholesterol, psoriasis, diabetes, allergies, fibromyalgia, high blood pressure, candida, arthritis, herpes, and influenza. Oiling the hair is the most common practice among Asians, Egyptians, Polynesians, and Indians to stimulate hair growth and maintain a thicker hair.
In 1998, a group of researchers from Scotland reported the outcome of their randomized study about the effects of aromatherapy on the lives of patients suffering from alopecia areata. Alopecia areata is a condition where the immune system of the body attacks healthy hair producing cells. There were 19 out of 43 patients showed improvement, which is about 44% of the group.
Studies have shown that coconut oil helps prevent combing damage and improves the appearance of the hair and scalp. The Journal of Cosmetic Science reported a study about the effects of coconut oil on hair health. The study compared coconut oil against sunflower oil and mineral oil. The findings reported that coconut oil created a stronger impact to hair than the other two known oils.
Pimple and acne treatment
The virgin coconut oil directly address mechanisms associated with MPB. The lauric acid from coconut oil is 15 times more potent in eradicating the propionbacterium in acne than benzoyl peroxide. It has no side effects and it tends to moisturize the skin. The topical application of lauric acid kills the propionbacterium and diminish inflammation. The coconut oil down regulates the production of DHT, which is a major factor in the formation of acne and MPB.
Coconut milk as an alternative to coconut oil hair care
Coconut milk is often used interchangeably with coconut oil. It is known as an excellent hair conditioner. The coconut milk gives your hair a boost for body and luster. People used coconut milk in the same way as they would use the coconut oil.
Using the coconut milk also promotes hair regrowth. Some claimed a hair beginning to turn into gray, when treated with the coconut milk, will have the new growth out with the natural hair color. After each treatment, you will notice that the color of your hair becomes darker and richer.

The CW is currently in talks to produce a serial based on the book that was killed by wildly popular Hunger Games.
Koushun Takami’s Battle Royale was first published in Japan in 1999, and subsequently adapted into film for local audiences in 2001.
Essentially, it’s the story of a oppressive government in a dystopian world, which forces children to compete in arena oriented mass-deathmatch bouts.
If that premise sounds somewhat familiar, you’re not alone in thinking so, as there are many an armchair critic (and a few real critics) who decried The Hunger Games books when they came out as being derivative of Battle Royale, despite the author, Susan Collins’, insistence that she had never even heard of Battle Royale, which had been released, translated into English, in the US several years earlier.
There is no way to know if Collins was inspired by Takami or not, but we do know for certain that when the English adaptation of the Battle Royale film was cancelled mid-development last year, it was primarily because of the announcement of The Hunger Games film. The Battle Royale film is still technically in development, but even the planned producer of the film, Roy Lee, seems to have given up on it.
Now, however, The CW, an prime-time-only cable network devoted to young adult entertainment, is in talks to purchase the television rights to the novel. Negotiations are in the early stages, and the deal hinges on the approval of Takami, but this will likely be pursued fiercely by the small network, which has been delivering some very interesting genre content lately, including the upcoming Green Arrow television serial.
With as popular as The Hunger Games is right now, I don’t think audiences would even bat an eye at the similarity, especially the youthful audience The CW aims for; they will simply watch.

Tyneside in 1901: From Newcastle United to the North Shields ferry in 10 photographs
Our 10 photographs from the ChronicleLive archive recall some of what was going on in our region 120 years ago
In an age before radio broadcasting, television and the internet existed, it was the Evening Chronicle's sister title, the Newcastle Journal, which broke the news to the region 120 years ago.
Victoria, Queen of Great Britain and Empress of India, was dead.
The headline told of a “universal manifestation of grief” as “the shadow of death settled over the throne”.
The Queen died on January 22, 1901. She had ruled since 1837. The Victorian age passed with her, and the Edwardian age was about to begin. It would be a time of rapid, sometimes exhilarating change.
Our 10 photographs from the Chroniclelive archive recall some of what was going on around our region in that distant year.
Industry was booming, but life for many was hard, with low wages, poor health and basic living conditions endured by large families being commonplace.
Nevertheless, advances were being made as the 20th century got into its stride.
In Newcastle, by 1901, the population had grown to 215,00. Electric trams were trundling around the city’s streets, and the old Redheugh Bridge was opened.
For recreation, folk might visit one of the local parks that were opening across the region; or step into one of the many new libraries or reading rooms that offered 'self-improvement'; or spend an evening at the local music hall watching low-culture entertainment; or play billiards at the pub - a place where the customers were almost exclusively male.
And there was football which, aided and abetted by the proliferation of newspapers, was rocketing in popularity. Indeed, Newcastle United, formed just nine years earlier were on the verge of becoming the finest team in the land for the next decade.
In the wider world, Winston Churchill made his maiden speech in the House of Commons, Britain’s first cinema opened in London, and the Royal Navy’s first submarine Holland I was launched.
Marconi received the first trans-Atlantic radio signal, and the Aero Club of the United Kingdom was established as men began to look to the skies.
And, as home life very slowly began to improve, 1901 was also the year of the first safety razor and the first vacuum cleaner, while Frank Hornby was granted a patent for the manufacture of the toy that would become Meccano.

Constructive trust imposed on loan repayment proceeds as part of stay of proceedings.
L.W. Houlden and Geoffrey B. Morawetz
Case Comment: Re Redstone Investment Corporation (Maplebrook Motion) — Constructive Trusts In An Insolvency Environment
By Aubrey E. Kauffman
On January 30, 2015 Regional Senior Justice Morawetz released his reasons in a motion brought by Maplebrook Capital Corp. (”Maplebrook”) in the CCAA/Receivership proceedings of Redstone Investment Corporation (”RIC”) (Redstone Investment Corp., Re (2015), 2015 ONSC 533, 2015 CarswellOnt 3286 (Ont. S.C.J.)). The decision is important for insolvency practitioners as:
(a) It imposed a constructive trust on certain proceeds held by a Receiver in favour of Maplebrook in order to prevent an inequitable and unjust result; and
(b) Although in obiter, RSJ Morawetz was prepared to accept the concept of a “Quistclose trust” and to find that the requirements of that trust had been met in the present case.
OVERVIEW OF THE FACTS
Maplebrook carried on business as a short-term lender to small and medium sized Canadian businesses. RIC was in a similar business. In 2013 RIC sourced five short-term loan transactions which Maplebrook agreed to finance (the “Assigned Loans”). Simplistically, the transactions were structured as follows:
(a) In connection with RIC’s loan to the ultimate borrower (the “Borrower”), RIC would obtain an assignable promissory note from the Borrower;
(b) RIC would in turn absolutely assign the promissory note and related security to Maplebrook in consideration for Maplebrook’s investment (which was in the same amount as the assigned promissory note);
(c) Notice of the assignment would not be given to the Borrower;
(d) Maplebrook would, in the assignment agreement, appoint RIC as its agent to collect and enforce the promissory note and security on Maplebrook’s behalf;
(e) RIC would then collect the lender fees, interest and principle in respect of the Assigned Loans and deposit those amounts, in full, into the Maplebrook account; and
(f) Thereafter Maplebrook would remit RIC’s share of the lender fee and interest spread.
The assignment documentation, which appointed RIC as the collection agent, did not expressly state that funds collected by RIC would be held in trust on Maplebrook’s behalf — indeed, the document was silent with respect to any mechanics dealing with collection of proceeds and payment to Maplebrook.
In addition to the Assigned Loans, there was also one aborted loan transaction (the “Pro-Hairline Transaction”). With respect to this transaction, Maplebrook advanced $750,000 to RIC for the purpose of acquiring a proposed loan to a company named Pro-Hairline (the “Pro-Hairline Advance”). The Pro-Hairline Advance was deposited into RIC’s general account and, immediately, forwarded by RIC (less some minor deductions) to RIC’s counsel to be held in trust pending completion of the loan transaction. Thereafter, RIC and Maplebrook decided not to proceed with the loan transaction. The funds were returned by RIC’s lawyers to RIC and deposited into RIC’s general account on March 25, 2014.
On March 28, 2014, RIC and a related company sought and obtained an Initial Order under the CCAA. The Initial Order appointed a monitor (the “Monitor”) and contained the typical broad stay of proceedings. On August 8, 2014 the CCAA proceedings were converted into receivership proceedings and the Monitor was appointed as receiver (the “Receiver”).
Shortly after the CCAA filing RIC received repayment of the principal and interest with respect to two of the Assigned Loans and some interest on a third Assigned Loan. These receipts were deposited into RIC’s general account. The remaining Assigned Loans (to two Borrowers) went into default (the “Loans in Default”).
Subsequent to the CCAA filing, Maplebrook made demand for an accounting of proceeds received with respect to the above transactions and for payment of amounts received. The Receiver refused to pay the amounts collected with respect to the Assigned Loans and the proceeds being held with respect to the Pro-Hairline Transaction taking the following positions:
(a) The Receiver acknowledged that, with respect to the Loans in Default the assignment document was effective in assigning the loans to Maplebrook. Accordingly, the Receiver acknowledged that these loans were the property of Maplebrook. The Receiver offered to consent to an order lifting the stay of proceedings in order to allow Maplebrook to terminate the agency relationship of RIC/the Receiver and thereafter to attempt to collect on the loans;
(b) With respect to the proceeds collected on the Assigned Loans the Receiver took the position that:
(i) The assignment document did not require that the proceeds collected by RIC, as agent for Maplebrook, be held in trust for Maplebrook and, accordingly, the relationship between Maplebrook and the RIC estate was that of creditor and debtor; and
(ii) In any event, upon deposit of the proceeds into RIC’s general account, any trust that may have existed was lost as a result of commingling.2
(c) With respect to the proceeds relating to the aborted Pro-Hairline Transaction, the Receiver took the position that;
(i) There was no agreement to hold those proceeds in trust when they were paid by Maplebrook to RIC; and
(ii) Even if there were a trust, such trust was ineffective upon the deposit of the proceeds into RIC’s general account.
Maplebrook took the position that:
(a) The repaid Assigned Loans were identical in structure to the Loans in Default which the Receiver conceded were the property of Maplebrook;
(b) The absence of language creating an express trust was not fatal to the Court finding that there was a trust relationship when looking at all the surrounding circumstances;
(c) The Soulos test for finding a constructive trust had been met and that the commingling of funds in RIC’s general account was not fatal to the Court granting the remedy of a constructive trust;
(d) With respect to the proceeds held with respect to the Pro-Hairline Transaction, such proceeds were also subject to a constructive trust and, in addition, a Quistclose trust.
THE DECISION OF THE COURT
It is clear that the Court was influenced by the Receiver’s concession that the Loans in Default were the property of Maplebrook. The Court found that the repaid Assigned Loans had the exact same structure and were also the subject of absolute equitable assignments to Maplebrook.

Quite a number of people do not exactly realize the importance of insurance. The truth is that insurance is a very important investment for the things you value. It is an investment that hedges the items you value from uncertain loss. When you have an insurance policy for them, as long as the loss or damage is within the grounds of the coverage, then your insurer will cover the cost for the repairs or replacement. In the case of liability insurances, the insurer will cover the expenses of the legal proceedings up to the settlements when necessary.
The core benefit of insurance is that it protects you from any financial loss from the loss or damage of what has been insured. Other benefits of insurance involves on the type of insurance you have your item insured. This will include home insurance, auto insurance, health insurance, life insurance, liability insurance, general insurance, and many more.
Home insurance is a protection for your home and is a combination type of insurance as it provides damage and liability insurance. Auto insurance is a protection for your car should your car get stolen, get damaged, or be involved in pedestrian accident wherein it causes property damage or bodily injury. Health insurance or medical insurance is insurance regarding your health wherein your insurer covers part of your medical bills. Life insurance is protection from death and provides your beneficiary financial compensation for your loss. Liability insurance is protection for professionals and businesses should they get sued for things they are considered liable for. General insurance is basically any type of insurance that does not involve life. These days, you can insure nearly anything and hence may fall under general insurance.
If you have something that is valuable to you, whether it is your car, your home, your profession, your life, your health, or anything in between, the best way of protecting it is through insurance. After all, they are your best interest so it is only proper that you get protection for them; and the best protection can only come in the form of insurance. The benefits of insurance are truly amazing as it lowers your risk from any form of loss, provided they are within the coverage of your insurance policy. This is the very reason why it is a good idea to have the things you find most valuable properly insured.

Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility regard others as better than yourselves. Let each of you look not to your own interests, but to the interests of others.
I’ll be honest – I struggle with this passage as much as anything in Paul’s letter. Not the first part; I agree that we should do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit. By privileging our own hopes, needs, and desires over those of others we belittle those entrusted to us to love and erode the very community that has the capacity to grant us hope and love. Indeed, I suspect that when we do cave into feelings of selfishness and conceit, it is precisely because we don’t feel the kind of love and worthiness that enables us to resist the temptation to put ourselves first and tend to the needs of others.
So it’s not the first part that bothers me, it’s the second: in humility regard others as better than yourselves. And what I find hard about this second part is precisely what I found valuable about the first: I don’t know if you can love others well if you don’t love yourself. I don’t know, that is, whether you can treat others as worthy and valuable if you don’t first see yourself as worthy and valuable. I know this isn’t typical church talk; Paul’s language of humility and treating others as better than yourself is more the norm.
And maybe that’s my problem. In my experience, we’re very good at talking about this, but not always at doing it. Do you know what I mean? We – and I definitely include myself in this! – sometimes talk, or even try, to put others first, but then resent them for it. Or we’re polite, acting and speaking humbly when face to face with folks, but then say what we really think behind their backs. My experience of some “Christian fellowship” has been that we strive so hard to live by this norm, at least in public, that it ends up actually being somewhat corrosive, and I think the corrosive part is exactly that we can’t truly love others if we don’t feel loved ourselves. So fall short of the ideal, judge ourselves for it, and feel even worse about ourselves and end up all the more likely to fall short again.
In reading this passage again this time, however – actually, in reading it a number of times – I began to wonder if part of my problem with this passage is that I haven’t read quite far enough. Because in the next sentence Paul goes on to say that we should “Look not to our own interests, but to the interest of others.” Sounds about the same, doesn’t it. Well, more or less. Except that it reminds me that this isn’t just a single action – regard others as better than yourself – but a whole set of actions and practices that involve looking out for the interests of others. And once I make that move I’m reminded that a community is formed not just by a single attitude but by a host of actions. That is, I’m reminded that Paul isn’t just speaking to me, but to the community of which I am apart. And what makes it possible for me to look out for the interests of others is that I know they are likewise looking out for my interests. Similarly, if I am trying to regard others as important, valuable, and worthy of love, it makes all the difference in the world if they are doing the same for me.
Paul isn’t advocating, I think, a culture of “despising yourself for the sake of others” – which is often how I hear this passage interpreted – but rather of mutual concern and care, where each and all members of the community are looking out for each other. I still struggle with “regard others as better than yourself” – I think I like Jesus’ “treat each other as you’d like to be treated” better! – but placing it in a communal setting helps me recognize that Paul is trying to cultivate a spirit of mutual self-sacrifice. A spirit, that is, of honoring the other as a beloved member of the family of God so that together we can live into God’s hope and desire that all of us experience a sense of worth and value so that we can love each other as we have been loved.
Prayer: Dear God, let us fashion families, households, schools, and communities of faith where there is no “better” or “worse,” but together we remind each other that we are your beloved children and family. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Are you wondering how you can find clients and turn your passion for podcasting into a fulfilling career as an editor? If so, you're not alone - it's one of the most common struggles we face (and hear about)
Prepare to be inspired by Cristina Lamague's incredible journey from listener to podcaster to professional editor. Her passion for podcasting started as she was seeking knowledge during pregnancy. That soon gave way to an interest in Latin American haunted stories that took her from listener to creator. Cristina's story will captivate and motivate you.
And along the way, we'll look into how she found her first (and second) client.
NOTE: Bryan (that's me) made a comment about iZotope being acquired by Novation. That was incorrect; they joined with Brainworx/Plugin Alliance and Native Instruments to form new company which has now been rolled into Native Instruments.
Cristina is a freelance podcast editor who is obsessed with podcasts. Her love of podcasting started as a listener. However, she moved quickly into hosting a show (and then two more) when she discovered a need that wasn't being filled. Now she's been able to turn her ADHD hyperfixation into a career editing podcasts that she finds interesting.

Those in Arizona going through a divorce may think the divorce decree is the final step in parting with their spouse. It is in a way because the marriage is dissolved with the decree, but other things must be dealt with after the divorce. Fortunately, many of these items are more of a housekeeping nature and not as emotionally taxing as the divorce process. They still need to be completed to avoid problems in the future, however.
Bank accounts and other financial accounts should be transferred per the divorce decree or settlement agreement. The ex-spouse should be removed from each account. Likewise, beneficiaries on life insurance and retirement benefits should be changed. A certified copy of the divorce decree may be needed as proof. For real estate, deeds should be executed and filed. The ex-spouse should sign the deed.
If retirement benefits are divided during the divorce, the division must be made through a qualified domestic relations order, or QDRO. A retirement plan administrator will not divide the benefits unless an approved QDRO is presented regardless of what the divorce decree states.
Other items to address include changing passwords on email, phones and social media accounts. New estate planning documents should be written to reflect the new marital status and to change beneficiaries. This includes all powers of attorney.
Many of these things can be discussed with a family law attorney prior to the final order. Some items, such as reverting to a maiden name, can be included in the divorce decree. When the property settlement agreement or decree is drawn up, a clause should be inserted requiring each party to cooperate in executing all documents necessary to transfer property, both real and personal. An experienced divorce attorney may help in determining what is needed and in securing the appropriate documents.
