We're here today with award winning author Nancy Moser. Nancy is the best-selling author of sixteen novels and three books of inspirational humor including The Good Nearby, Mozart’s Sister, the Christy-award winning, Time Lottery, as well as the Sister Circle series coauthored with Campus Crusade co-founder, Vonette Bright. Nancy gives Said So Sister Seminars around the country, encouraging women to tap into their personal gifts as well as the gift of sisterhood. Nancy has been married 32 years—to the same man. She and her husband have three grown children and two grandchildren. She's been blessed with a varied life. She's earned a degree in architecture; run a business with her husband; traveled extensively in Europe; and performed in various theaters, symphonies, and choirs. She needlepoints voraciously, kills all her houseplants, and can wire an electrical fixture without getting shocked. She is a fan of anything antique—humans included.
Tell us a bit about yourself, your writing, and your publishing journey.
My degree is in architecture and I’ve never had a writing course, yet I’ve always liked to write stories. I wrote my first novel as a child—about a British maid in Victorian England—though I got stuck rewriting chapter one over and over.
What is the greatest historical novel you’ve ever read and why?
Gone with the Wind. I have probably read it a dozen times because I cared about the characters and they drew me into their lives. Plus, the weaving of their stories into real history . . . it was captivating. I was also obsessed with Scarlett’s 13” waist that had the gall to increase to 17” after she had a baby. I don’t think I had that size of waist when I was born.
Another series that grabbed me in college were the Kent Family Chronicles by John Jakes. I liked how they showcased one family’s experience through history.
Did you have any experiences that prompted your love of fiction and historical fiction in particular?
I’ll tell you how I got into writing bio-novels—which is a bit bizarre.
The event that opened my eyes happened while I was standing in the Mozart family home in Salzburg in the summer of 2004—that little three-room apartment where both Wolfgang and his sister, Nannerl, were born. In truth, I was only half-listening to the guide, being very close to tourist-information overload. Yet one statement reached into my weary brain and ignited it: Most people don’t know this, but Mozart’s sister was just as talented as he was, but because she was a woman, she had little chance to do anything with her talent. That one statement stayed with me all the way home to the States.
At the time I was putting together a proposal for a contemporary novel (I only wrote novels set in the present day.) Because of the tour guide’s comment, I got the idea to have one of my characters write a book called Mozart’s Sister. My agent sent the proposal to publishers.
Within days we got a call from Dave Horton, an editor at Bethany House Publishers. “I don’t want the contemporary book, I want the book the character is writing: Mozart’s Sister, an historical book about the sister’s life.”
“But I don’t write historicals.”
“I want Mozart’s Sister.”
“But I don’t write in first-person, in one person’s point-of-view throughout an entire book. I write big-cast novels in third person.”
“I want Mozart’s Sister.”
“I hate research.”
“I want Mozart’s Sister.”
Well then. He seemed so sure, so excited. I could not ignore him—actually, I could, but I didn’t.
The rest is history. And so, as so often happens when God offers us an opportunity and we say “yes”, it turned out to be the best experience of my writing life. And, irony of ironies, as I sat in my office with four reference books opened before me, I even found that I enjoyed the research. Imagine that.
Since then I’ve written Just Jane about Jane Austen, and coming out on the 4th of July, 2008 is Washington’s Lady about Martha Washington. I have another one contracted—yet unnamed. I really enjoy writing about these women. I take great pains to make their stories accurate (as far as I can). I even use their own words taken from letters.
During my research for Just Jane, I discovered a Jane Austen I would have liked to call friend. She was witty, wise, discerning, creative, and loyal. She was also stubborn, judgmental, insecure, and needy. She was . . . a lot like us.
They all are. For no matter when these women-in-history lived, or where, the core of who they were and what they desired from life parallels our own issues and quests to find purpose and meaning. Their life-long search to find a place to belong, to feel secure and confident in their self, is our search.
How much time does it take to research your stories – what balance would you say there is between research and actual writing?
I have a year to write each bio-novel, but during that year I am also contracted to write a contemporary novel, so while I am writing that novel, I research the bio-novel. I would say the research takes as much time as the writing. Taking notes, reading about the woman-of-history’s life from multiple sources, choosing the scenes . . . the writing is the easy part. The main difference between a regular historical novel and a bio-novel is that I can’t just write about a “time” in history, I am chronicling a particular real person. The need to get it right is very strong.
Describe for us, if you will, your writing style, as in plotter vs. seat of the pants, and do you put more time into developing characters or plot or are they equal?
When I write contemporaries, I write seat-of-the-pants. I have a general idea that drives the novel, cast it, and then see where the characters take me. It constantly evolves.
But for the bio-novels, I have to keep it factual; their lives dictate the story. The two genres are obviously very different in style. Plus, with contemporaries I write big-cast, third person novels, but the historical bio-novels are first-person so they read as though the woman is telling her own life-story. And the contemporaries use modern language, and the historical uses more refined language. I am constantly checking Webster’s to check out the origin of a word. For instance, I couldn’t use “spotlight” for Mozart’s Sister or “long shot” or “soul mate” for Just Jane. The terms didn’t exist. Sometimes it’s difficult flipping from one genre to the other.
Thank you, Nancy! Join us tomorrow for part two of our interview. And don't forget to post a comment to win a copy of Nancy's newest book Just Jane or Mozart's Sister - winner's choice.

According to Investigator Ryan Foles with the Coweta County DA’s office, the Iron Cross had been on the radar of law enforcement prior to an incident in 2016, which saw the group thrust into the spotlight.
Foles also stated "The sentencing of four local men associated with an outlaw motorcycle group has signaled the end of that group in Coweta County – and a victory for local law enforcement in their battle against gangs."
In November 2016, two teenage girls were chased along U.S. Hwy. 29 into Newnan by members of the Iron Cross and Knights of Solomon motorcycle clubs after a biker lost control of his bike and crashed.
Confiscated patches belonging to the Iron Cross Motorcycle Club
Club members blamed the driver of the car and began pursuing her. At one point during the chase, Harris pointed a firearm at the occupants and shot at least one round in their direction.
The chase ended after the bikers were intercepted by deputies near the intersection of Bullsboro Drive and Ga. Hwy. 154. A handgun was recovered at the scene.
After the chase, Harris was arrested and charged with discharging a weapon near a public highway, pointing a gun at another, and reckless conduct.
Three other members of the club were ultimately sentenced to probation.
Stephen Maxwell Kemp was given 12 months probation for aggressive driving, while Thomas Joseph Lewandowski and Ricky James Hartfree were both sentenced to six months’ probation. All four men were ordered to have no contact with the Iron Cross Motorcycle Club or any other motorcycle clubs.
District Attorney Herb Cranford Jr. said his office could not prove the other bikers involved in the incident knew Harris pulled a gun on the girls while chasing them, so the office only pursued felonies against the most culpable defendant.
“This case was about a group of bikers, all wearing their club patches, chasing down two teenage girls because the girls had disrespected the bikers on the road,” Cranford said. “The girls did not get in a wreck with any bikers, and there was no lawful reason to chase them.
“Nevertheless, we are satisfied that the defendant who pulled a gun and fired one round into the air was sentenced to prison following his non-negotiated guilty plea,” Cranford added.
Following the shooting, the investigation into the group escalated, resulting in the search of its clubhouse on East Jones Street in March 2017.
The house was allegedly being run and managed under the name of a deceased Iron Cross member and was serving as an illegal alcohol establishment for those in the biker culture.
Defunct Iron Cross MC Clubhouse in Columbus, Georgia
Inside, investigators reportedly recovered two truckloads of evidence connecting the bike group to gang culture, hate groups and other “1-percenters” across the state and nationwide – including membership documents and oaths.
Foles said the search of the clubhouse was successful for many reasons, one of which included the discovery of over 50 Christmas cards sent from other 1-percenter clubs across the country – each card containing the names, pictures and addresses of its members.
Foles shared this – and other information collected from the clubhouse – during the summer conference of the Georgia Gang Investigators Association.
The Iron Cross case was significant, Foles said, because local law enforcement agencies are rarely successful at shutting down motorcycle clubs. It is a task typically handled by federal agencies.
Foles said the success was in part to the Security Threat Group Unit (STGU), which operates in the Coweta County Jail, where detention officers help identify gang members and collect evidence for prosecution.
“From the help of the 911 operator to the officer who made original arrests all the way to the detention officers collecting evidence for gang charges – the case was a success because of everyone working together,” Foles said. “They’re pioneers in what they’re doing and are continuing to make the program even better.”
Cranford said biker clubs who associate with the Outlaws, a widely known motorcycle club like the Hells Angels, should be scrutinized by law enforcement and should not be allowed to intimidate and threaten the citizens of Georgia.
“Those Outlaw affiliated biker clubs, like the Iron Cross, give a bad name to law-abiding motorcycle clubs and others who simply enjoy riding motorcycles,” Cranford said. “The sheriff's department should be commended for this investigation which appears to have had the result of removing this Outlaw-affiliated biker gang from our community."

Communist Regime Travel Controls as State Capacity in Everyday World Politics: The East German Example
We cordially invite you to the next session of our workshop series on Authoritarian Politics and International Relations at WZB.
Astrid Hedin will present her paper on 'Communist regime travel controls as state capacity in everyday world politics: the East German example'.
In her talk, she will focus on how, during the Cold War, communist regimes built and institutionalized an encompassing administrative state capacity to control and shape micro-level professional contacts with the West. This extensive but secret system of coercion was brought to light only with the opening of former communist regime archives. Effectively, the travel cadre system may not only have delayed the demise of Soviet bloc communism, by isolating the population from Western influences. It was also intended to serve as a vehicle for discursive influence of Soviet type regimes on the West. Hedin presents one of the first and most detailed English language maps over the administrative routines of a communist regime travel cadre system, based on the East German example. Furthermore, drawing on social mechanisms methodology, I set up a micro-level 'how it could work' scheme over how travel cadre systems can be understood as state capacity, unique to totalitarian regimes, to help sway political discourse in open societies.
The paper is available here.
The seminar series aims at bringing together scholars from Comparative Politics and International Relations. We invite papers combining comparative authoritarianism and IR, as well as contributions that help clarify important theoretical concepts and empirical patterns in either discipline. Colleagues interested in presenting in the workshop series should email Alex Tokhi (alexandros.tokhi [at] wzb.eu) or Alex Schmotz (alexander.schmotz [at] wzb.eu).
When: Once a month on a Tuesday afternoon (see dates below)
Where: WZB Berlin Social Science Center, Reichpietschufer 50, 10785 Berlin
What: A classic format: 90 minute research seminar with one paper presentation (15 min), one discussant (10), and plenty of time for Q&A
Who: All scholars from WZB and the Berlin area and anyone interested in authoritarian politics and/or international relations
You can find the next sessions here.

What is asthma?
Asthma is a chronic lung disease in which the mucosa lining the bronchial tree becomes inflamed and thickens by decreasing the caliber of the airway and hampering the passage of air into the lungs. It is a very frequent disease. In Spain, it affects 3-4% of the adult population and 8% of children. For reasons not yet well known, their frequency has increased in the last 20-30 years. It is possible that genetic and environmental factors, mainly allergy, pollution, smoking, obesity and the type of diet may influence.
What are the symptoms of asthma?
The main symptoms of asthma are:
- Cough, which gets worse with effort or at night.
- Wheezing (whistling or wheezing).
- Difficulty breathing.
- Chest tightness.
How is asthma diagnosed?
In addition to the symptoms that suggest the presence of the disease, it is necessary to demonstrate the alteration of the pulmonary function, with the performance of a spirometry with bronchodilator test or the examination of the variability of the maximum expiratory flow. In case of suspicion, it is advisable to study the possibility of allergic sensitization, through skin tests or blood analysis.
What are the triggers of asthma?
The possible triggers are multiple and diverse:
- Respiratory infections : Mainly those caused by viruses. Asthmatics should avoid those conditions that can lead to colds, not exposing themselves to sudden temperature changes or staying close to people with catarrhal symptoms.
- Allergens: dust mites, pollens, dandruff or animal hair, fur or feathers .
- Physical exercise: Especially sports that take place in very cold and dry environments or that require a very high intensity of effort. In general, it should not be prohibited to practice any physical exercise, but should advise measures and appropriate preventive treatment, where necessary.
- Smoking: Avoid not only that the patient smokes, but also stay in an environment contaminated by other smokers' tobacco smoke. Prenatal or early exposure to tobacco smoke is a risk factor for asthma development .
- Medications: Beta blockers, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
- Atmospheric pollutants.
- Psychological factors: Asthma is not a psychological illness, but anxiety or depression can determine a greater presence of symptoms and a worse evolution of the disease.
What is the treatment of asthma?
The goal of asthma treatment is to achieve control of the disease by avoiding symptoms and crises in the shortest time possible, with the least side effects and the lowest dose of medication. Not all patients need the same medications. The treatment of each patient is individualized depending on the characteristics and severity of asthma. There are two major groups of asthma medications:
- Anti-inflammatory : are the most important. Its function is to eliminate or reduce inflammation of the bronchi. The most important are corticoids, mainly through inhalation. Other drugs are antileukotrienes (montelukast) and chromones.
- Bronchodilators : act by dilating and opening the bronchi. Short-acting drugs (salbutamol, terbutaline) are used as relief medication and long-acting drugs (formoterol, salmeterol, indacaterol) are used in a prescribed manner and always associated with inhaled corticosteroids.
What care should the patient follow in his daily life?
- Do not smoke and do not allow them to smoke in your presence. Avoid contaminated environments.
- Know the allergens and irritants that can trigger your symptoms and learn to avoid them.
- Learn to identify the alarm signs of an asthmatic attack.
- Learn what medicines to take, how and when to take them.
- Be consistent and maintain the treatment, strictly following the recommendations of your doctor.
- Go to regular check-ups with your doctor to monitor the condition and maintain or adjust treatment.
Does asthma heal?
Asthma is a chronic disease that has no cure, but treatments that allow patients to regain their quality of life without symptoms and be controlled. That is the goal and we call it having controlled asthma. One of the secrets of asthma treatment lies in the patient's perseverance in properly following the prescribed treatment.
Allergy and asthma, are they the same?
Probably allergy is the most risk factor for triggering asthma. However, allergy should not be confused with asthma , because although they may be closely related, they are not exactly the same. Of every two people with asthma, only one is also allergic.

A tax amnesty was approved by the Romanian authorities based on which taxpayers may claim, by 31 March 2021, the annulment of the late payment interest and penalties related to the main fiscal obligations having payment deadlines up to 31 March 2020.
In addition, by exception of law, due to the pandemic situation, late payment interest and penalties are not calculated and are not due in Romania in respect of the main income tax and social security liabilities due between 21 March 2020 and 25 December 2020.
The following types of income were exempt from salary income tax and social contributions:
- Amounts granted by employers for early education of employees’ children and for epidemiological testing and vaccination.
- Amounts granted by employers for covering the utilities expenses of employees who are teleworking, up to a monthly threshold of 400 Romanian lei (RON) corresponding to the number of days the employee is teleworking.
Specific provisions were introduced in the legislation regarding the obligation to compute, withhold, and declare the Romanian salary tax liabilities for benefits in kind and/or in cash received by individuals from third parties based on an employment contract or a contractual relationship between parties. Such obligation belongs either to the employer, to the income payer, or to the individual, depending on certain conditions.

My Favorite Denver Engagement Photo Locations
Boulder is one of my favorite locations near Denver for an engagement session. The views are unbeatable and it is only about a 45 minute ride! The views make the best backdrops for your romantic engagement photos that will be PERFECT for your save the dates!

Cody business owners remain concerned about losing customers due to Yellowstone road construction.
That's despite assurances by the Park Superintendent to Cody business owners last week.
The proposed road construction is to start in 2018.
Construction crews plan to work near Fishing Bridge, which will likely cause road closures.
The closures would affect East Entrance Road which connects Yellowstone to Cody.
The road project involves reconstructing Fishing Bridge and Pelican Creek Bridge and three miles of road.
National Park Service workers say they don't expect closures until after October 2018.
The proposal is open for public comments until May 26th.

We spoke with actor Chrissie Fit about returning as Cheechee in the new Teen Beach 2 film, which debuted on the Disney Channel last week. Disney describes Fit’s role as “a classic biker girl who travels from the movie world into the present day “real” world to convince her friends to return”.
Fit was extremely friendly and fun to talk to during our nearly 20 minutes on the phone. She is a Walt Disney World fan, and has aspirations to direct and produce in the future. Here is our interview with her!
MS: How did you get the role of Cheechee in the original Teen Beach Movie?
CF: You know, it was the old fashioned way. I went to an audition, and I remember…they only really said that Cheechee was a member of the Rodent crew. So I decided to give her a funny voice and a little laugh, and I did it at the audition and it was like quiet. And I thought, “Did I mess this up?” And then, they were like “That was great!” and then from there, we had a couple of other auditions. It was a couple of month process. My first audition was in November, and I didn’t get cast until February. It was a long process, but it was totally worth it.
MS: You hadn’t known the actors of Teen Beach Movie when you signed on, but it is different this time around. What was it like working with everyone again?
CF: It was amazing. I got there a little later in the game because I was still doing Pitch Perfect 2 while they were doing dance rehearsals and all that. So I got such an incredible, huge welcome because they were all waiting for me to get there. I got bombarded at a photo shoot, and everyone came and gave me hugs. It just feels like the best experience ever. You get to go to Puerto Rico and shoot a movie with your friends, because we’ve all become really good friends and really love and support each other. It was kind of surreal because we were back in the same place with all of the same people, with incredible new additions to the cast with Raymond and Piper and Ross Butler. So it was awesome, it felt like coming home.
MS: Have you become close friends with any of your co-stars?
CF: Yeah, all of them I’m pretty close with. I do hang out a lot with John DeLuca and Grace Phipps. She lives really close to me.
MS: How is the dancing different from Teen Beach Movie?
CF: Well, for sure we have a lot more – because we go into the modern world – we have a lot more of that influence, so there’s breakdancing, and faster, sharper movements. I remember getting a videotape sent to me while I was doing Pitch Perfect 2, and seeing the choreography and thinking, “How am I going to learn this?”. It was just so intricate and cool, but then there are other dances where what you loved about Teen Beach Movie still exists. It’s bigger, faster, and leaves you amazed.
MS: What goes into rehearsing for one number? There are several big musical sequences in Teen Beach 2.
CF: Well, they (the rest of the cast) all had like a month of dance rehearsals, I had three hours – which is crazy (laughs). I would learn what we were filming, and immediately forget it so that I could learn the next part. Once you get to the location, things change, because you are used to dancing in a dance studio. Then you add the element of sand, heat and leather…and it is a whole different game. It was just crazy. It took a long time, but as far as the filming of the dance numbers, these are all pros and they are so good at what they do. Our choreographer Christopher Scott is fantastic. And some of the bigger numbers only took 2 days to film, which is really, really fast when you think about how much goes into it. There are so many different moves and setups, they are just so good at what they do.
MS: You’ve mentioned Pitch Perfect 2. Did any of your work on the two movies overlap?
CF: It overlapped with the rehearsal process. There were times we were filming the opening sequence to Pitch Perfect 2, which we filmed last, and I was given videos for the dances here. I was on a flight straight to Puerto Rico on a Saturday and started filming Teen Beach 2 on Monday. It was kind of crazy, but it was the best summer of my life, which is funny because we have a song called “Best Summer Ever” that I think was like was specifically meant for me because last summer was incredible.
MS: When you filmed the original Teen Beach Movie, was it also a month of preparations for the dancing?
CF: Yes. They had like a skeleton crew that created all the choreography with Christopher Scott, and then once we got to Puerto Rico, we had 2 or 3 weeks of dance rehearsals and then we started filming. We filmed for a good one and a half months. So there always is a lot of preparation, and a lot of care and attention because…especially with Teen Beach 2, so many people loved the first move and we wanted to give the fans another cool experience and up the ante…and make it bigger and better, for them because they are such incredible fans. We are so grateful for them. We just wanted to make a great movie.
MS: We have friends of various age ranges who enjoy the first Teen Beach Movie. Do you find that your fans tend to skew younger or older?
CF: It’s kind of a mix of both. I think that parents like Cheechee because she’s tough, and fun and funny. And the teenagers are all about the boys, lets get real! And the little girls around 3-7, they love my character. I think it’s the voice, and the hair and that kind of stuff. It has been a crazy ride.
MS: So you were here in Orlando for the Teen Beach Party at Typhoon Lagoon. Are you a big Disney fan as far as the theme parks?
CF: Yes! I grew up in Miami, Florida. That was like our family vacation, to go to Disney World – Magic Kingdom, Blizzard Beach when it it was really hot in Florida, which is always. I remember being a kid and my dad would take out the back of the van seats, and put in a mattress…so random (laughing), so that me and my brother could sleep on the way to Walt Disney World. He would always pull into the gas station and the fluorescent lights would wake us up. I would wake up, and it always felt like Christmas! So many of my favorite childhood memories are at Walt Disney World with my parents. It was 4 hours away. We were very lucky that we were able to go a lot.
MS: What are your favorite Walt Disney World attractions, either then or now?
CF: Now I love Space Mountain. When I was a kid, forget it – I would never ride Space Mountain! It was so scary to me. I love, like…I don’t know, it’s so funny, you always think that what you remember are the rides and all this stuff, but what I remember the most is waiting in line (laughing). Waiting in line with my brother, my dad, and my mom – and then my dad playing games with us while we waited for a ride. He would always play, like, “What was the name of Pinocchio’s dad?” And we were like, “Gepetto”! All this Disney trivia that we would do while we were waiting in line, and I know we all complain about it now, “Oh, we have to wait in line!”, but so much of the bonding I made as a family was waiting in line at Walt Disney World. So those are the memories I remember. Of course I love Pirates of the Caribbean…what was my favorite ride as a kid? I can’t remember which one. All of them! As a kid I didn’t like to go to Epcot, I wanted to go to the Magic Kingdom to see all the princesses and stuff.
MS: When did you know you wanted to act?
CF: I think ever since I was a kid, I was always a performer. I have a big family, so we would have parties. My mom and dad would be like “Go dance!”, we had salsa music blaring, because my family is Cuban. We would dance and sing, and I think when I was in 5th grade is when I did my first play. It was all to try to get a boy to fall in love with me. He didn’t. But I fell in love with acting, so it all worked out.
MS: That is really great that you were able to follow your dream from a young age. What advice would you give a child who also has the same aspirations?
CF: What I would say is definitely do well in school, and get an education. I know a lot of people say that, and here is why. I feel the success that I’ve had has been attributed to the education that I received. Not just with acting, but with everything. Study acting, study everything else. Have a lot of experiences, because you draw from those experiences if you want to be an actor. Also, don’t give up – 110%, all the time. Be focused and have a very thick skin. Know that if this is your dream and this is what you want to do, go for it 110%. Don’t give up on it and study, study, study.
MS: This is our last question. Can you tell us about your upcoming projects?
CF: Well, it’s Teen Beach mania right now! I am a writer as well, so we just finished writing a movie and hopefully we will get it made this year. That is my next dream. I love acting, I love singing, but I also want to create content…maybe one day direct and produce. For me, it’s kind of important to take initiative, have more women in film, more Latinas in film, and I feel like the best way I can do that and contribute is to create and be on the other side of the camera as well. So that is what I’m looking forward to in the next couple of months.
Thank you to Chrissie Fit for spending some time talking with us!

When it comes to true strategic planning, there are so many possibilities on the financial horizon – it can be hard to stay informed and to recognise what works best for your unique situation.
Being able to form a holistic approach that encompasses the following key areas is essential – all of which come with their own unique set of hurdles:
Getting the complete picture is important – this is the partner of money management. Whilst the motivation of money management is ensuring cashflow covers all the fundamentals of your lifestyle, wealth management aims to use or create additional cashflow to grow your assets and therefore your wealth. Wealth accumulation requires planning, strategy and execution – so you can maximise your opportunities.
Understanding your taxation circumstances and opportunities are essential to providing tailored practical advice. Effective planning should maximise and align with your overall financial and personal strategy. Ideally this should be achieved in conjunction with your other professional advisers. There are many areas to consider here – including asset structuring, superannuation strategies, tax effective investing and tax deductible debt.
Effectively managing your cashflow is the cornerstone to achieving financial success. Cashflow management largely underpins every transaction an individual undertakes. Benefits of smart cash flow management may include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Controlling your outflows
- Reduced inefficient debt;
- Increased flexibility and liquidity to adapt to changing environments;
- Reduced risk by knowing your financial position; and
Utilising debt as a financial tool can be extremely effective when structured and managed appropriately. It is important to look at how best to structure and maximise your opportunities with tax-effective debt, managing interest rate risk and assessing your asset protection position.
So where to from here?
You need experts who can work with you hand-in-hand to help you navigate all of these areas and encourage you to reach your personal financial targets – no matter what stage in life you are at (starting out, settling down, planning for retirement or enjoying retirement).
If you would like to optimise your current wealth creation plans to assist in providing long term security for you and/or your family, our Financial Advisory team are well placed to help you with their delivery of Strategic Financial Advice. You’ll walk away with a snapshot of where you are now, a personalised guide on how best to meet your unique set of needs and objectives and the comfort of ongoing support.

This renovation will allow us to increase our classrooms from three to five rooms for programming and study space in an effort to meet the ever-increasing
need for relevant educational programming for adults.
The Library is offering opportunities for you, or your company, to sponsor a classroom. The current classrooms that are available for sponsorship include:

Sponsors will have their name prominently displayed on the wall of the room they are sponsoring, and will be included in all publicity for that room which includes advertising of the room for programs on an ongoing basis. For example:
Family Literacy will be held in the Smith/Jones Classroom on the lower level of the library beginning Friday, January 22, 2013.

Yannick and Shannon marry on Captiva Island!
It was close to sunset and the afternoon storms were near for this destination beach wedding in July. Shannon and Yannick arrived from Georgia with their children, Shannon’s sister and Yannick’s aunt and uncle. We met at their beach home at the South Seas Island Resort an hour prior to sunset but quickly hurried to the beach to begin their destination beach wedding ceremony before the rain storms to the east arrived. The ceremony was performed by Patricia Slater of Weddings by the Sea. Nicolas was the ring bearer and Nevaeh was the flower girl. After the ceremony we continued taking photos on the beach while the kids ran and picked up sea shells on this beautiful barrier island. The bride had a wonderful gown for the beach and she photographed magnificently with it.
Destination beach wedding on Captiva
The beautiful flowers were designed by The Flower Shop of the Islands and worked very well with the wedding photography for this exuberant couple! After the ceremony, we watched as the nearby pending storm slid to the south of us! 🙂 We missed the storm but it certainly provided some great, soft light for the beach photography! The bridal party went for a celebration dinner in the evening. Shown here are some of my favorite photographs we created at this destination beach wedding on Captiva Island.

Here at The Cheese Wedding Cake in Dorset, we have put together our top tips for creating the perfect cheeseboard this festive season.
How much cheese should you provide?
If you are looking to create a cheeseboard as part of a festive meal, then we recommend you allow around 100g of cheese for each person. If you are looking for a Christmas supper then allow each person approximately 150g each.
What cheeses should you buy?
We suggest creating a cheeseboard that offers hard, soft and blue cheeses. It is important to offer different styles, textures and flavours for the perfect cheeseboard. There are many wonderful British artisan cheeses, such as Tunworth, Colston Bassett Stilton and the very cute Cerney Ash Goats Cheese. For something different we recommend considering the wonderful Montagnolo Affine, Delice De Cremier and Vulscombe Goats Cheese.
How should you put the board together?
Sliced apple and figs are a great palette cleanser in between cheeses, while grapes have long been a favourite. We suggest adding depth by offering sliced charcuterie such as Wagyu Bresaola and Forest Pig truffle salami, aswell as luxury chutney such as the delicious Dorset Blue Woodbridge Chutney.
How should you store your cheese?
Once bought, each cheese should stay individually wrapped and will need to be refrigerated or stored in a cold room. Bring the cheeses out at least 2-3 hours before you plan to serve. This will allow them to come to room temperature and allow the flavours to unfold and strengthen.
Will a Cheese Christmas Cake offer a varied enough cheeseboard?
A Cheese Christmas Cake is a great idea to ensure you offer different styles, textures and flavours for your guests. The Boxwell Christmas Celebration Cake, £45, incorporates 3 wonderful cheese tiers of Baby Colston Bassett Stilton, Godminster Organic Cheddar and the creamy Dorset White. Feeding approximately 20 guests this is great value at just over £2 per head. Another firm favourite from The Cheese Wedding Cake is the Monkton Cheese Christmas Cake, offering 4 tiers of opulent artisan cheeses, ensuring you offer something a little different this festive season!


Mission-Dependent Trust Management in Heterogeneous Military Mobile Ad Hoc Networks
ARMY RESEARCH LAB ADELPHI MD COMPUTATIONAL AND INFORMATION SCIENCES DIRECTORATE
Pagination or Media Count:
Managing trust in a tactical Mobile Ad Hoc Network MANET is challenging when collaboration or cooperation is critical to achieving military missions and system goals. Further, in heterogeneous MANETs, evaluating the trust level of a mission-driven group communication system accurately and identifying well-qualified nodes to perform a given mission are also crucial for successful mission completion. Some nodes will be highly qualified to perform the mission while others will not be, depending on the mission. Based on the context-dependent characteristic of trust, we propose a mission-dependent trust management protocol that dynamically evaluates the trust values of nodes, and dynamically recomposes the mission team so as to maximize the mission success probability. We develop a composite trust metric that considers aspects of QoS trust derived from communication networks and social trust derived from social and cognitive networks. We show that the proposed mission-dependent trust management protocol outperforms a unified trust management protocol which is not customized for performing a particular mission.

The New York Times reports: A Turkish prosecutor has opened an investigation into 17 people accused of fomenting last year’s failed coup, including many prominent American officials, academics and politicians, state news media reported on Saturday.
Among those placed under investigation by the chief prosecutor in Istanbul are John O.

It’s not often that a game just slaps you in the face with its sounds, style, and speed, but this is exactly what the trailer for Dimensional Slaughter’s new update did to me today. The fast-paced roguelike FPS looks stunning, and it’s just had a massive update alongside a Steam sale that makes the already cheap game cheaper.
Dimensional Slaughter is incredibly fluid and fast, and it’s got an absolutely stellar soundtrack too. I love a good movement FPS game and will champion them for the rest of time, and this is one of them.
On top of all the shooting, there are also parkour challenges and plenty of extra abilities like stomps and wall kicks, with everything coming together in this disgusting dance of crunchy hypercolor visuals and blood. Oh, it’s also in a Steam sale too.
On top of that, the new Inbetween update adds a whole new dimension, a checkpoint midway through the game, a new weapon, enemies, upgrades, double jumps, slo-mo, and a series of improvements across the game’s physics, enemy AI, UI, and more. The cliff notes being that an already gorgeous and chaotic movement shooter just got even better.
The mind-bogglingly bright and fast gameplay trailer for Dimensional Slaughter’s The Inbetween update can be seen below.
Dimensional Slaughter is even in Steam Early Access, so there are more dimensions, enemies, weapons, and more to come. There’s a demo if you want to try out the game before taking it for a proper spin, too.
You’ll find Dimensional Slaughter on Steam right now, with the update sale netting you 25% off until Saturday, February 3. Expect to pay $4.49 / £3.74 until then.

Although we did not see the kinds or amounts of birds and wildlife expected, we still had a good time and got off a few shots.

ST. FRANCIS, Minn. (FOX 9) - School districts across the country are dealing with a shortage of bus drivers. But a superintendent in the St. Francis school district said if she’s going to put a shout-out for drivers, she should also step up and get her license.
Thursday, Superintendent Beth Giese was stepping up to be the second pair of eyes, or education assistant, to make sure everyone gets home safe. Now, she’s adding to her resume after taking the test for a license to drive a school bus. She was excited to do so, but she also said the shortage of drivers made it crucial.
"We weren't getting the subs and things that we needed I eventually just thought well, why not?" she explained.
For Giese, it wasn’t a real stretch because of her military background.
"I was in the military for 12 years and I drove semis," she tells FOX 9.
Now, she says she is ready and will sub in as necessary. She hopes it will help to keep her from making another tough call like the one she had to yesterday. "We had to call a route and say, 'Ya know we’re not bringing you to school today.' And that is heartbreaking."
After posting about getting her license on social media, she has actually inspired several people to take the test as well. On top of a board member and the director of finance in the district, seven people in the community called in to say they’re putting in an application.
"We are just elated," she says. "I thought it was something kind of silly, I was posing like a 16 year old getting my license and the effect was amazing our community said let me help you."
Giese and the others running the district say no matter what they stay positive and make things work - even if riding or driving a school bus isn’t in the superintendent's wheelhouse.


The hip-hop star states that he has no hard feeling when his TV show 'Snoop Dogg's Father Hood' was axed since he believes 'the show was too positive and too enlightening.'
Rapper Snoop Dogg has no hard feelings against the U.S. TV bosses who canceled his family reality show "Snoop Dogg's Father Hood" - he's convinced the program was scrapped because there was no "drama". The hip-hop star, real name Calvin Broadus, invited cameras from the E! cable channel into his Los Angeles home in 2007 to document his daily routine with his wife Shante Taylor and their children Cori, Cordell and Corde.
The program lasted for two seasons before it was axed in 2008 but Snoop Dogg has no regrets about the show because he's proud of how well-behaved his kids are. He tells talk show host Larry King, "I believe the show was too positive and too enlightening. They wanted some drama."
"You gotta understand, I'm Snoop Dogg so you want confusion, you want destruction, but my house is not like that. My wife does a great job running my house and my kids so it's a beautiful situation." Snoop Dogg has since inked a deal with MTV for another TV show - a variety program called "Dogg After Dark", which premiered in 2009.

The healthy state of our ballad and folk tradition is underscored weekly in club gatherings such as An Góilín and the Clé Club. Fergus Russell is a regular in the former since the late 1980s, and this collection is a snapshot of a singer in thrall of the songs. Here the stories reign supreme: porter, politics and the River Poddle (among other more nefarious influences) colour and shade the picaresque landscape through which Russell travels with verve.

Young Love: Taylor Swift Spotted On Romantic Date With Patrick Schwarzenegger
Taylor Swift may just have got something new to write about, as the singer was spotted on a date with Arnold Schwarzenegger’s 18-year-old son Patrick yesterday.
The pair were seen in Massachusetts together celebrating the 4th of July on the beach. According to TMZ, the couple were joined by a few members of the Kennedy family but they were seen flirting, laughing and at one point they went on a little stroll together along the beach.
With Joe Jonas, Jake Gyllenhaal and even John Mayer behind her, it looks as though Patrick might be the new dude at the centre of Taylor’s huge hits. It’s not clear if the couple are an official item. so watch this space.
Last month, Taylor was left upset after her ex John slammed her for writing and releasing the song ‘Dear John’.
They then had an uncomfortable reunion, kind of, as the pair ended up in the same restaurant one night and Taylor reported demanded that her table was moved.
Taylor Swift steps out…

A 39-year-old journalist was fatally shot inside his Philadelphia home in a case that local police are investigating as a homicide.
Officers responded to the Grays Ferry home of Josh Kruger early Monday morning after receiving several phone calls from neighbors who heard the sound of gunshots.
When officers arrived, they discovered Kruger suffering from multiple gunshot wounds to the chest and abdomen. Investigators believe the person or people responsible for the shooting either knew how to gain entry to Kruger’s home, or were allowed in.
Police have not named a suspect in the case, nor have they disclosed a motive for the shooting.
Kruger was an openly-gay journalist who wrote about his own experiences with homelessness, addiction and trauma. His bylines appeared in several local publications, including the Philadelphia Inquirer, the Philadelphia Citizen and the website of public radio station WHYY (90.9 FM).
Several public officials spoke openly about Kruger after learning of his death.
“Absolutely devastated to hear about the sudden passing of my friend Josh Kruger,” State Rep. Ben Waxman wrote on X, the social media website formerly known as Twitter. “He made a huge contribution to our city and will be missed by so many people. May his memory be a blessing.”
“Josh Kruger was a fierce advocate for the most vulnerable members of our community,” Rue Landau, a local civil rights attorney, said on social media. “Heartbreaking to lose an LGBTQ journalist and respected voice in the city.”

I decided to look into TMS after speaking to my therapist. And I found active recovery TMS as the only option in Portland outside of one of the local hospitals that didn’t accept my insurance. So I called Doctor Horey and had a nice conversation with him he alleviated some of my fears. And I went back to my therapist and mentioned that I looked into TMS. I’ve been an athlete in my past life as I saw it and I felt like I was very successful within my profession and I just had a really hard time being at the top of my game. I tried many different types of medication and none of them seemed to get me back to my old self if you will. So I thought I might as well look into things that were alternative to medication.I’m so glad I made that call to Doctor Horey because Active Recovery has really set me on a path and I feel I got some good momentum going forward.
At Active Recovery TMS, our goal is to provide a safe and effective alternative treatment for depression. Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is an especially important treatment option for those who have not had success with standard depression treatments like medication and/or therapy.
Our co-founder, Dr. Horey, became familiar with TMS while training and working at Columbia University in New York City where many of the early and important studies on TMS were conducted. Dr. Horey has since completed more extensive training in TMS and keeps himself up-to-date with the latest research on brain stimulation techniques, including TMS.read more

Five Tips to Go From Dream to Plan
PROVERBS 16:1-16 – 6/22/21
“The preparations of the heart belong to man…” Proverbs 16:1a
Because we are created in God’s image, like him, we are planners. We love to do, to make arrangements, to make things happen. What a glorious trait. What a great responsibility. We alter and impact our environment to suit our needs. Both those we seek God and those who do not are capable of this. We don’t “need” God to do so. Within his sovereignty, we can even do things that are contrary to him and what he stands for.
King David had a plan. His plan makes a wonderful case study. He eagerly desired to build a permanent structure for Yahweh to be worshipped in. “King David rose to his feet and said: “… I had it in my heart to build a [Temple] … and I made plans to build it,” 1 Chron. 28:2. 3
1. Know what lights up your heart? What dream can you not get off your mind, even year after year? God loves to place a seed in your heart and then to partner with you to bring it about, for his glory. Dream. Seek his plan for you. Rise up above the crowd that mindlessly flows along and does only what others have planned and worked at. Your plan may be to support others in their plans. If so, find a worthy Dream to come alongside. Follow your dreams and don’t hop from one to another without ever accomplishing any. If you must change plans, use what you’ve learned to feed the next plan.
2. Mindfully make plans to bring your Dream to life. Cast your vision forward. Visualize your dream as reality. Teach your children to dream and practice making dreams come true whether it’s preparing a great dinner or planning a play date. That shows them the hard work it takes to make even a small dream come true. It teaches them to be leaders and problem solvers. Demonstrate it by verbalizing and performing your dreams/plans. Ask teenagers their opinions (as though you have to 😊) and engage them in intelligent conversation so they can learn how to think.
3. Plan for course-correction.
It helps to know that The Dream is not about you. I say it again: The Dream is not about you. It is about God and his glory.
a. Your Dream may be so grand that you cannot accomplish it from beginning to end. Embrace that. Be like Asaph and be open to being part of a team to achieve The Dream (https://tribalminded.com/2021/06/03/put-that-in-your-pipe-and-smoke-it/.) Any dream worth dreaming will entail a team.
b. David says,
“God said to me, ‘You are not to build a house for my Name, because you are a warrior and have shed blood,’”
1 Chron. 28:3.
There are times when he will need you to step out of the way. He gave David a reason why he would not be the one to fulfill The Dream. He may or may not give you a reason. Be okay with that too. Our fleshly motives and egos easily get entangled with our dreams and plans. Hold them loosely to God to detangle that for you.
4. Step down when it is time
“And you, my son Solomon, acknowledge the God of your father, and serve him with wholehearted devotion and with a willing mind, for the Lord searches every heart and understands every desire and every thought. If you seek him, he will be found by you; but if you forsake him, he will reject you forever. Consider now, for the Lord has chosen you to build a house as the sanctuary. Be strong and do the work,” 1 Chron. 28:9, 10.
Bow out graciously when your role in The Dream is over. Do not be like an actor who will not exit the stage when their lines are done. Prepare your successor. Prepare him or her physically, mentally, and spiritually. Prepare them for more in life than just The Dream. Empower them verbally and in deed and remind them it’s not just about them either. Prepare them for difficulty. Every Dream worth having is difficult and daunting. You will be afraid and discouraged along the way.
5. Give them The Plans
“Then David gave his son Solomon the plans for the portico of the temple, its buildings, its storerooms, its upper parts, its inner rooms and the place of atonement. He gave him the plans of ALL that the Spirit had put in his mind for the courts of the temple of the Lord and all the surrounding rooms, for the treasuries of the temple of God and for the treasuries for the dedicated things. He gave him instructions for the divisions of the priests and Levites, and for all the work of serving in the temple of the Lord, as well as for all the articles to be used in its service. He designated the weight of gold for all the gold articles to be used in various kinds of service, and the weight of silver for all the silver articles to be used in various kinds of service: the weight of gold for the gold lampstands and their lamps, with the weight for each lampstand and its lamps; and the weight of silver for each silver lampstand and its lamps, according to the use of each lampstand; the weight of gold for each table for consecrated bread; the weight of silver for the silver tables; the weight of pure gold for the forks, sprinkling bowls and pitchers; the weight of gold for each gold dish; the weight of silver for each silver dish; and the weight of the refined gold for the altar of incense. He also gave him the plan for the chariot, that is, the cherubim of gold that spread their wings and overshadow the ark of the covenant of the Lord,” 1 Chron. 28:11-18.
Can you imagine how long it took David to prepare all this? It is easy to keep things in our mind/heart. What happens when life happens and we’re not there anymore to continue The Dream.
a. Use discretion and share important aspects of The Dream along the way. When you are ready to pick a successor, share ALL that the Spirit has laid on your heart. Did I say that it is not your Dream and that it is not about you? The Dream is Spirit work. Do not hoard parts of it to make yourself indispensable.
What if they take it and run with it? Again, use much discretion regarding who you share with. The Dream is sacred and special. It is not to be broadcast all over the place. Find trusted people to share with. If they do take it and run with it, glorify God that his Dream is coming true. Trust him to right what wrongs have been done to you. He will guard both you and The Dream. You are more than The Dream.
b. Write things down. If it’s important, it’s worth writing. If your life is important, keep a journal. Someone will greatly value that someday. That someone may be you!
“All this,” David said, “I have in writing as a result of the Lord’s hand on me, and he enabled me to understand all the details of the plan.” David also said to Solomon his son, “Be strong and courageous, and do the work. Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord God, my God, is with you. He will not fail you or forsake you until all the work for the service of the temple of the Lord is finished.
1 Chron. 28:19, 20.
In closing, consider these wonderful words from our passage today. Invoke the Master of the Dreams in yours. He will blow you away!
Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and he will establish your plans. In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps.” Proverbs 16:3, 9.
2 thoughts on “THAT’S GOOD A PLAN!”
This is so good, inspiring and practical! It needs to go in a handout or manifesto to look at when life sometimes seems like a drag or visionless. Thank you Hannah.
You’re welcome sweet Joy. He frequently calls us to remember. That entails revisiting when it’s not fresh in our minds…

THE GEORGIA MUSIC CHANNEL PRESERVING THE HISTORY OF GEORGIA MUSIC ARTISTS
JASON ALDEAN SUGARLAND ALLMAN BROTHERS Luke bryan
COLT FORD LYNYRD SKYNYRD CHUCK LEAVELL MOTHERS FINEST
ZAC BROWN BAND lady antebelluM
COVINGTON, GA (GMC) - Covington had its share of Georgia music artists performing at Party
On The Farm Georgia with a total of six that put on a great show for the fans. Headlining the
event was Lyons, GA native and Nashville recording artists, Craig Campbell, along with Highway
55 (Dawson), Jordan Rager (Loganville), Taylor Marie (Covington), Ashley Walden (Covington)
and Drew Parker (Covington). Adam Potts with Six String Southern Productions told us "this is
something that I've always wanted to do. I wanted to give the fans a show they'd really enjoy and
it was great to have all six of these great Georgia music artists performing tonight."
We spoke with Craig Campbell, signed with Bigger
Picture Group, after the sound check. After leaving
Lyons, GA about 11 years ago, he moved to
Nashville. He told us, "I feel so fortunate to have all
the fans that supports me and my music." While he's
an humble and true gentleman, he's a giant in the
country吉林11选5遗漏 music business. Released over one year ago
his song "Outta My Head", from his album "Never
Regret", moved up three positions on the Billboard
country吉林11选5遗漏 charts to # 15 and has remained on the
charts for 51 weeks, approaching a record for
longest running single on the charts. Campbell's
prior hits were "Fish", "Family Man and "When I Get
It". Be on the lookout for his next big hit.
The Georgia Music Channel is picking Craig's next big single to be "Keep Them Kisses Comin",
which was written by Peach Pickers Dallas Davidson and Ben Hayslip, also from Georgia.
Highway 55 just got off a national tour and have had a busy schedule across the country吉林11选5遗漏. They
made it back to their neck of the woods to perform in Albany Friday, then headed straight to
Covington for this show. We asked Cody Smith how it's been out on the road considering the
busy schedule. He said, "well you know, we were playing so many consecutive nights that we had
to add some songs to our playlist. We had gotten up to playing about 80 songs, which is a lot. It's
been great and so enjoyable to get out there playing for the fans. We've got a great group of
guys and we love what we're doing." While on the road they've opened for artists like Toby Keith,
Sawyer Brown, Credence Clearwater Revival and others.
When Cody and the band hit the stage Saturday night, they did what they do best.....put on a
great show and performance for the crowd. They performed their new single "Sundown", getting
crowd involvement going.
Jordan Rager, Taylor Marie, Ashley Walden and Drew Parker also gave awesome performances
to round out the show.
