Pollinator Meadow at Edgewood Park
Located in Surrey, BC, the pollinator meadow is a natural feature in a city park that provides habitat for pollinators. The meadow was a pilot project that supports Surrey’s Biodiversity Conservation Strategy and Design Guidelines at the site level.
Design and Process
The pollinator meadow within Edgewood Park reflects a commitment by the City of Surrey to enhance and maintain ecological connectivity within a rapidly developing area of Surrey.
Given the full-sun aspect of the site, the meadow and wildlife corridors were designed to mimic drought-tolerant ecological communities found within the region using endemic forbs and grasses, shrubs and trees. Species selected for the meadow were those known to be used by native pollinators (invertebrates and songbirds) throughout their life stages. The meadow provides structural diversity and variety, as well as forage and refuge for ground nesting birds and small mammals moving along the adjoining wildlife corridor.
For the pollinator meadow, a specialized soil mix was created to establish a substrate for plants designed to be drought tolerant and self-sustaining (based on locally occurring coastal sand ecosystem/grassland communities). Now that the plants have been established, weeding is done by hand with minimal disturbance. Soils are naturally enriched by leaf litter from the mature black cottonwoods that were retained as a key visual component of the meadow and through the native forbs and grasses that were planted and allowed to accumulate to enrich the soil and enhance carbon sequestering.
The pollinator meadow at Edgewood Park supports the integration of the City's biodiversity conservation and design guidelines by adding a unique habitat feature to an otherwise manicured park space used for active recreation. The meadow enhances the structural diversity and connectivity between a future community garden and the newly created wildlife corridor along the park's edge.
The pollinator meadow was designed by the City of Surrey’s Biodiversity Conservation Planner. Care of the meadow is part of ongoing monitoring and maintenance through Surrey's Parks Division. The project's designer and monitor is a Registered Professional Biologist in BC with over 25 years of experience in habitat restoration, landscape ecology and biodiversity conservation in urban landscapes. Landscaping and natural areas management on the City of Surrey's public lands utilizes low impact, nature-based approaches based on the City's Natural Areas Management Plan and Biodiversity Design Guidelines.
During the public consultation process for the park, the pollinator meadow was highlighted as a natural amenity and there has been positive public feedback since the meadow was established. Interpretive signs along the pollinator meadow identify the sensitive nature and value of the site.
The pollinator meadow is a hands-on location for youth in the Surrey Natural Areas Program (SNAP) to learn about the restoration and development of pollinator habitat and the monitoring and maintenance of pollinator landscapes. In the long term, the pollinator meadow will be part of a network of naturally managed landscapes and connected wildlife corridors. These landscapes will provide learning opportunities for the wider community and landscape practitioners on ecological services and habitat restoration.
Edgewood’s recognition in 2021 through SOUL’s Greener Greenspaces program helped catalyze further efforts in pollinator conservation and was the first project submitted by the City of Surrey to attain citywide Pollinator Steward Certification through Pollinator Partnership Canada
SOUL is pleased to recognize the Pollinator Meadow at Edgewood Park as a Greener Greenspace in 2021 and 2022.

When two or more people come together to form an entity with mutual consent and divide profits in an agreed ratio is called a Partnership Firm. The most important thing to be noted while choosing partners for a partnership firm is that it should not be comprised of members of a Hindu Undivided Family, or a Burmese Buddhist member. Also, two people holding the status of husband and wife cannot be called a member of a partnership firm.
Definition of Partnership, Partner, Firm and Firm name according to the Partnership Act, 1932
The Partnership Act of 1932 has laid down all the regulations for the incorporation, functioning, decision making, dissolution, detention/ expulsion of a partner, etc. Also, the act provides the definition of various terms used or necessary in a partnership firm.
“Partnership” is the relationship between individuals who have agreed to share profits of a business carried on or acting on by the members.
People that have come together to form such entity is called “partners”. The partners of the firm collectively are called “a firm”. Additionally, the name under which the partners carry on the business of the firm is called the “firm name”.
Need for registering a partnership firm
Partnership firms in India are registered, regulated and governed under the Partnership Act, 1932. The registration of a partnership firm is not obligatory; however, forming a Partnership Deed is beneficial and gives the power to sue and be sued by other members. Also, you can register your partnership firm at any point in time, but it is advisable to register your firm before starting its operations.
Requirements for registering a Partnership Firm
The minimum number of members in a Partnership Firm should be two, and the maximum should be one hundred according to the new amendment in the act.
What are the Advantages of Partnership Firm?
- Easy Formation: It is not mandatory to register the partnerships firm and also it does not involve any formalities. Hence, the business can start on the mutual understanding of the partners. Therefore, it is very economical and easy to form.
- Larger Resources: the partnership firm having larger resources due to more number of human resources involved in it for their business operations in comparison with the sole proprietorship firms.
- Flexibility in operation: the partnership firm has the benefit of flexibility as they can take decision and amend in accordance with the dynamic situation easily.

- Sharing of Risk: In the partnership firm the loss is shared individually by all the partners that reduces the burden and make the process at ease.
- Partnership firm protects the interest of all partners.
How to form an agreement between the partners?
The agreement between the partners stating all responsibilities, rights, duties, profit shares, and other details of each partner should be formed at the beginning. Such an agreement is called a Partnership deed. Furthermore, the Partnership deed can be written or oral, but it is always advised to form a written agreement to use it as proof of partnership.
Details included in the Partnership Deed
The following information should be included in the partnership deed of a firm;
- Address and name of the firm and of all the partners
- Kind of business
- The Date of starting of business
- The Capital contributed by each partner
- The ratio of Profit and loss sharing among the partners

If you’re wondering, “can you freeze cooked quinoa?”, this post has everything you need to know! Learn how to store, reheat, and defrost quinoa and how to use it in recipes.
This post may contain affiliate links. For more information, see my affiliate disclosure.
Quinoa is a delicious whole grain that can be used in a variety of veggie-heavy recipes. While it’s technically a seed, it’s typically classified as a whole grain since it’s used similarly. Quinoa is also high in fiber and other nutrients found in whole grains, but it packs more protein than other grains.
Besides its favorable nutrition profile, quinoa is really easy to prepare. It has a short cooking time (about 15 to 20 minutes). Plus, you can store quinoa for a long time, especially if you freeze it! Read on to learn how to freeze cooked quinoa and use it in recipes.
How to Freeze Quinoa
- Prepare the quinoa according to package instructions. If you don’t have instructions on hand, combine a quinoa water ratio of 1 part uncooked quinoa to 2 parts water or broth in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer, cover, and cook for 15 to 20 minutes. Turn off the heat and let stand for a few minutes to ensure the water is fully absorbed.
- Let the quinoa cool completely.
- Transfer to freezer-safe bags or containers. Seal well and label with name of food and date.
- Store in the freezer.
How long can you store cooked quinoa?
Frozen cooked quinoa will last for up to 6 months in the freezer. Be sure to store it in tightly sealed containers or bags, with as much air as possible squeezed out, for best results and to prevent freezer burn.
How do you defrost cooked quinoa?
To thaw frozen quinoa, remove it from the freezer and let it sit in the refrigerator overnight or on the counter for a couple of hours. If you don’t have time to let it thaw, you can reheat it directly from frozen.
What is the best way to reheat quinoa?
The best method for reheating cooked quinoa is to use the microwave. Place thawed or frozen quinoa in a microwave-safe dish and reheat on high in 30- to 60-second intervals until it’s heated through.
Recommended Containers for Freezing Quinoa
I prefer to use silicone Stasher bags for freezing cooked grains like quinoa. They seal really well, are reusable, and can be cleaned in the dishwasher!
Freezing plain, cooked quinoa is very straightforward. But you may be wondering if you can freeze dishes made with quinoa. Here are the answers to some frequently asked questions about this topic.
- Can you freeze quinoa salad? Quinoa salad that’s already been assembled and dressed does not freeze well. I do not recommend freezing it.
- Can you freeze quinoa and vegetables? Quinoa and cooked vegetables that are mixed together and don’t have a heavy sauce or dressing should freeze well. Let them cool completely then store in a freezer-safe container
- Can you freeze quinoa casserole? Casseroles that use cooked quinoa also freeze well. However, I recommend assembling the casserole and freezing before the baking step. Pre-baked casseroles won’t defrost well.
Frozen Quinoa Recipes
Now that you know the answer to how you freeze cooked quinoa, you may be wondering how to use it. You can add thawed quinoa to soups, salads, and casseroles. Frozen quinoa can be added to soups and some other hot recipes without being thawed first, too.
Personally, I like to use thawed, frozen quinoa in hot recipes versus cold ones like salads. I find that defrosted quinoa sometimes has a little extra moisture and may get soggy if used in cold salads. But depending on the other ingredients in the salad and the dressing, it may not be noticeable at all. It’s up to you!
Here are my favorite recipes that use quinoa:
- Vegetarian Taco Casserole with Quinoa
- Quinoa with Vegetables and Maple Ginger Tahini
- Quinoa Mushroom Burgers with Navy Beans
- Sugar Snap Pea Quinoa Salad
- Quinoa Grape Salad with Tabouleh
How to Freeze Quinoa
- Freezer containers or bags
- 2 cups cooked quinoa - or any amount
- Prepare quinoa according to package instructions. Let it cool completely.
- Transfer to freezer-safe bags or containers. Seal well, squeezing out as much air as possible. Label with date and name of food.
- Store in the freezer for up to 6 months.
- To defrost, thaw in the fridge overnight or on the counter for a couple of hours. Alternatively, you can reheat quinoa directly from frozen in the microwave. Place it in a microwave-safe bowl and cook for 30- to 60-second intervals until warmed through.
- Frozen quinoa that’s been thawed can be added to pretty much any recipe that uses cooked quinoa. However, it often works best in hot recipes versus cold salads.
Enjoy eating quinoa! – Lizzie

Due to regular technical maintenance, which Air Serbia traditionally plans at the beginning of the low season, when the demand and the number of passengers are decreased, the Airbus A330, carrying the YU-ARA registration, will not operate its route between September 24 and October 6.
The said technical maintenance is performed every two years in line with the industry standards. Two dates were available and Air Serbia chose the time period in which the aircraft would have the fewest flights and the fewest passengers, the company announced.
Due to this, passengers from the four Belgrade-New York-Belgrade flights, operated by the only wide-body plane in Air Serbia's fleet, would be moved to flights of other companies or offered refunds, Air Serbia says in the press release.
The passengers have been notified of the changes and the company's Customer Service Center is available for all additional information by calling +381 (0)11 311 21 23 or +381 (0)800 111 528.

Dorney Park & Wildwater Kingdom, a popular amusement park in Allentown, Pennsylvania, has announced that it will launch a new roller coaster called Iron Menace in spring 2024. The ride will be the first dive coaster in the Northeast, and one of the largest capital investments in the park’s history.
What is a dive coaster?
A dive coaster is a type of roller coaster that features one or more near-vertical drops that are approximately 90 degrees. The drop offers a sensation of free-falling for riders, as they plunge down from a great height at high speed. Dive coasters are known for their thrill factor and unique design.
Iron Menace will be the eighth dive coaster in North America, and the first one in the Northeast region. The closest dive coaster to Dorney Park is Yukon Striker at Canada’s Wonderland, which opened in 2019.
What to expect from Iron Menace?
Iron Menace will be a 160-foot-tall dive coaster that will take riders on a breathtaking journey through the remains of an old steel mill. The ride will feature a unique “hold and dive” element, where riders will hang over the edge of their seats, breathlessly awaiting the heart-pounding 95-degree, 152-foot drop.
The drop will be followed by four mind-bending inversions, including:
- An Immelmann inversion, where the train will pull up sharply and flip 180 degrees.
- A zero g-roll, where the train will perform a 360-degree inversion in wild weightlessness.
- A tilted loop, where the train will enter a loop that is angled at 45 degrees.
- A 360-degree corkscrew spin, where the train will twist around its axis.
The ride will have nearly 2,200 feet of steel track and reach speeds up to 64 miles per hour. It will last about two minutes and accommodate up to 18 riders per train.
How does Iron Menace fit into Dorney Park’s theme and history?
Iron Menace is inspired by the Lehigh Valley’s steel industry history, which dates back to the 19th century. The ride’s name and theme pay homage to the iron and steel workers who shaped the region’s economy and culture.
The ride’s location in the park will also reflect its theme. Iron Menace will be built on the site of Stinger, a former inverted boomerang coaster that was removed in 2017. The area will be transformed into an industrial-themed section called Steelworks, which will feature other attractions and amenities related to the steel mill concept.
Dorney Park’s vice president and general manager Michael Fehnel said that Iron Menace will be a “game-changer” for the park and its guests. He said that the ride will offer an “unmatched experience” that will appeal to thrill-seekers and families alike.
Iron Menace will be the first new roller coaster at Dorney Park since Hydra opened in 2005. It will also be the largest roller coaster at the park since Steel Force opened in 1997.
When can you ride Iron Menace?
Iron Menace is scheduled to open in May 2024, coinciding with Dorney Park’s 140th anniversary. Construction of the ride began this week and is expected to take about nine months.
Dorney Park is currently open for its summer season until September 6. The park will also host Halloween Haunt and WinterFest events later this year.
Dorney Park fans can follow the progress of Iron Menace on the park’s website and social media channels. The park will also release more details and updates about the ride in the coming months.

Tomaso Albinoni, a composer noted for his oboe concertos, was born (8 June 1671) and died (17 January 1751) in Venice. His father, Antonio, was a wealthy Venetian paper merchant, and Tomaso remained comfortably well off without having to seek posts in the church or at court. He studied piano and singing, and was married in 1705. We know little about his life - some of his work was lost in World War 2 when Dresden State Library was destroyed. Besides his numerous works for instrumental ensemble, forty-two operas are extant, and Maximilian II Emanuel, Elector of Bavaria, invited him to direct two of these in Munich. The popular Adagio for organ and strings was constructed by musicologist Remo Giazotto on a fragment, thereby reducing its historical value.

Chanel Contos is an Australian student and sexual consent activist. She became known globally in 2021, following the responses to her request for young Australian women to report on their sexual assault experiences.
Chanel instigated an Instagram poll asking for stories from young Australian women who had been sexually assaulted. After an outpouring of responses, she started the website ‘Teach Us Consent’, which hosted a separate online petition to ask for sexual consent education in Australian schools. She collected thousands of testimonies of alleged sexual assault and violence, this number is still climbing, and the reality is that almost one million Australian women have experienced sexual assault perpetrated by a male in the last 10 years.
Chanel believes that we need to teach what rape culture is; we need to teach what toxic masculinity is, what slut shaming is, and that victim blaming is not acceptable. After collecting over 44,000 signatures, more than 6,700 testimonies of sexual assault, and leading countless hours of volunteer work and support, Chanel’s mission was accomplished. Ministers of Education around Australia have agreed to mandate holistic and age appropriate consent education every year, in every school from kindergarten until Year 10 from 2023.

For most people, the diagnosis of cancer understandably brings a considerable amount of fear and uncertainty, and it is often times the most difficult period not just for the patient, but the family as well. I experienced this firsthand when my mother was diagnosed with a rare, aggressive gastrointestinal cancer when I was a teenager. From the very beginning, her oncologist was honest and caring and instilled in her a sense of confidence that no matter what happened, she would be receiving the best care and he would be there to support her. This has always been my goal as a physician and particularly in my specialty of gastrointestinal oncology. Weill Cornell offers tremendous state-of-the-art resources and services, is at the cutting-edge in immunotherapy, targeted therapy, as well as clinical trials, and I can without hesitation know I am able to provide world-class care to my patients. With this in mind, I strive to bring a personal touch to patient care, whether that means taking the extra time to go over a treatment plan a 2nd or 3rd time to make sure the patient or their family understands and feels comfortable, or sending a tumor specimen for advanced molecular interrogation to ascertain specific mutations that may further tailor and personalize treatment, to searching for the best clinical trial available to give hope in aggressive cancers with few options.

Peterborough United chairman Darragh MacAnthony has labelled Irish midfielder Chris Forrester as “priceless” after a tremendous start to his career with the League One club.
Forrester joined Posh from St Patrick’s Athletic last August for an undisclosed fee and immediately nailed down a spot in the first-team.
Peterborough sit sixth in the league table with Forrester likened to Michael Carrick by his manager Graham Westley after some impressive form.
Asked whether Forrester would be valued at under or over £3 million, MacAnthony said the price tag would be “way, way over” that figure and that the 23-year-old was the best midfield passer of the ball he had ever signed.
Way way over. Best Mid passer/player I've ever signed & priceless. https://t.co/EIeyzv5v2c— Darragh MacAnthony (@DMAC102) January 4, 2016
He added that he believes Forrester will go on to be a better player than current Irish international Jeff Henderick.
Better imo but Hendrick quality also but Chrissy will be better https://t.co/SCpWkvTGuG— Darragh MacAnthony (@DMAC102) January 4, 2016
Posh were considering a move for Derry man Patrick McEleney after the end of the 2015 season, with the midfielder's injury problems scuppering a move to England during a trial spell. He has since joined league champions Dundalk from the Candystripes.

SEATTLE (AP) — Isaiah Obet was behaving erratically and in mental distress in 2017 when Auburn police officer Jeff Nelson ordered his police dog to attack and then shot Obet in the torso. Obet fell to the ground and Nelson fired again, fatally shooting Obet in the head. Police said the officer’s life was in danger because Obet was high on drugs and had a knife. The city later reached a settlement of $1.25 million with Obet’s family.
The next year, Joseph Allen was crossing in front of Nelson’s patrol car when the officer swerved and pinned him against a fence, breaking both his ankles. His justification: Allen was a dangerous criminal.
In 2019, Nelson scuffled with Jesse Sarey after attempting to arrest him for disorderly conduct. He punched Sarey seven times and then shot him in the torso. After Sarey fell to the ground, Nelson killed him with a second shot to the forehead. He claimed Sarey was on his hands and knees “ready to spring forward,” which later was disproved by both video and witnesses.
Nelson’s actions in all three cases were outlined in a criminal complaint, eyewitness accounts, and police dashcam video obtained by the Associated Press. In the past decade, Nelson has been investigated in more than 60 use-of-force cases that involved choking suspects until they passed out, severe dog bites, and physical force that required medical care. But he was not on the King County Prosecuting Attorney’s list that flags officers whose credibility is in question due to misconduct – a designation that must be shared with defense attorneys.
Nelson was added to its “potential impeachment disclosure” list, or Brady List, only after he was charged with killing Sarey. A trial is set for February 2022. Mohammad Hamoudi, a federal public defender, said that given Nelson’s history, all of his cases should be reviewed. And Hamoudi hopes Nelson’s story will encourage prosecutors to track excessive force cases involving other police officers.
“It has to do with respect for the rules, the laws, and others,” Hamoudi said. “If an officer lacks impulse control or the ability to exercise informed judgment, you can call into question how he investigates cases.”
The murder of George Floyd by a Minneapolis police officer has sparked a national conversation on police reform, ranging from defunding departments to enhancing training. But reform activists and civil rights advocates say prosecutors already have powerful tools at their disposal to curb bad behavior by police: They can use Brady Lists to shine a light on troubled officers and they can then refuse to put forward cases from those officers with tarnished histories.
The AP found that prosecutors sometimes don’t even compile the lists and that wide disparities in what offenses land officers on them are prevalent across the country, with excessive force often failing to merit inclusion.
The AP also found that many prosecutors and police unions have gone to great lengths to keep Brady List information from becoming public.
Now, defense attorneys, public defenders, civil rights groups and even some prosecutors are calling for an increased use of Brady Lists and a broadening of the offenses that will land a police officer on them, while police unions are resisting those efforts.
Amy Parker of the King County Department of Public Defense called it imperative for officers’ violent histories to be exposed.
“As a career public defender, I have listened to prosecutors routinely make the argument that defendants with prior unlawful uses of force/crimes of violence are more prone to violence and lack credibility,” she said in an email. “If prosecutors are going to apply that standard to defendants, then the same standard should apply to police officers when judging their conduct.”
King County prosecutor Dan Satterberg argues that excessive force doesn’t make an officer less credible. “An officer who was accused of using too much force in an unrelated arrest has nothing to do with the impeachment of their veracity,” he said.
Brady Lists stem from a ruling in the 1963 Supreme Court case Brady v. Maryland mandating prosecutors turn over exculpatory evidence to defense attorneys, including information that could be used to question the officers’ credibility. But the ruling did not define the steps prosecutors and police departments must take to ensure defendants are informed or whether lists of troubled officers must be kept at all.
The result, critics say, is a mishmash of policies that vary state to state – and even jurisdiction to jurisdiction.
Prosecutors in Atlanta, Chicago, Tulsa, and Pittsburgh told the AP that they don’t track officers with disciplinary problems, and Milwaukee prosecutors only listed officers who have been convicted of crimes.
The Dallas County district attorney’s list contained 192 names, with infractions ranging from making false statements to convictions for theft, assault, and driving under the influence. The Suffolk County, Mass., prosecutor’s list included Boston officers who lied on their timesheets or embezzled funds. Louisiana’s Orleans Parish district attorney tracked officers who committed crimes, lied, or drove dangerously, but not violent arrests.
Dishonesty lands an officer on the list in Detroit, Denver and Seattle, but using excessive force does not.
The Phoenix district attorney, along with prosecutors in Orange County, Fla., and Los Angeles, were among the few the AP found who include excessive use of force cases on their lists.
“It’s like there’s a huge continuum and the result is you don’t have the same procedures being followed not only across the country but within individual states,” said Will Aitchison, an attorney with Portland, Ore.-based Labor Relations Information Systems, which represents officers after they’ve appealed discipline orders.
Some states have attempted to pass legislation that would address the lack of consistency, including the Washington State Legislature, which approved a bill this year requiring county prosecutors to develop written protocols for collecting potential impeachment information by July 2022.
The California Legislature approved a bill last year that required prosecutors to maintain a list of officers who have had “sustained findings for conduct of moral turpitude or group bias,” but Gov. Gavin Newsom vetoed the measure due to the cost of such “a significant state mandate.”

Michael Jackson's Estate Lawyer to Sue Katherine's Business Partner
A lawyer representing Michael Jackson's estate has threatened legal action against Katherine Jackson's new business partner, alleging he has no right to make money from the late singer's legacy. The Jackson matriarch has teamed up with businessman Howard Mann to publish a picture book called Never Can Say Goodbye: The Katherine Jackson Archives.
The book hits stores this week to mark the first anniversary of the superstar's death, and the pair is said to be negotiating record deals to release 273 unheard Michael Jackson songs. Mann reportedly obtained the tracks in a sale after the "Thriller" legend's dad Joe failed to pay a storage bill.
But Howard Weitzman, an attorney for Jackson's estate, tells TMZ.com that Mann "may be using his relationship with Mrs. Jackson to infringe upon Michael Jackson's copyrights ... to the detriment of, among others, Michael's three kids." Katherine Jackson inherited 40 per cent of her son's estate and was named the guardian of his three children, Prince, Paris and Blanket.
Weitzman maintains Mann is not authorized to "exploit any estate assets" and has vowed to take "whatever action is necessary to prevent him from unlawfully profiting".

The Importance of Self-Care
Taking care of ourselves should always be a top priority. Self-care is crucial for our overall well-being, and it should not be seen as a luxury but as a necessary part of our lives. As we embrace a new year, it’s the perfect time to reflect on the importance of self-care and the positive impact it can have on our physical, mental, and emotional health.
Self-care is not selfish, but rather, it is an act of self-love and self-respect. When we take care of ourselves, we are better equipped to handle the challenges life throws at us. We become more resilient, more focused, and more capable of achieving our goals. By practicing self-care, we are investing in our long-term well-being.
In today’s fast-paced and hectic world, it can be easy to neglect self-care and prioritize other responsibilities. However, self-care is essential for maintaining a healthy balance in our lives. It allows us to recharge and replenish our energy, which in turn improves our productivity and overall quality of life. When we take care of ourselves, we are better able to show up fully for our work, our relationships, and ourselves.
Self-care encompasses a wide range of practices, from physical health to mental and emotional well-being. It involves nurturing our bodies, minds, and souls. This can include activities such as getting enough sleep, eating nutritious foods, engaging in regular exercise, practicing mindfulness or meditation, spending time in nature, engaging in hobbies, and connecting with others.
Prioritizing self-care is not a one-time thing, but rather an ongoing commitment to ourselves. It’s about creating sustainable habits that support our overall well-being. By incorporating self-care practices into our daily routines, we can cultivate a healthier and happier life.
In the coming sections, I’ll share some practical tips and insights on how to incorporate self-care into your daily routine for the new year. Whether it’s carving out time for yourself, engaging in activities that bring you joy, or taking steps to improve your mental and emotional well-being, there are countless ways to prioritize self-care. Remember, you deserve it.
Mindfulness and Meditation
When it comes to self-care practices, one technique that has gained significant popularity in recent years is mindfulness and meditation. These practices have been proven to have numerous benefits for our mental and emotional well-being, making them an essential part of any self-care routine.
Mindfulness involves being fully present in the moment and paying attention to our thoughts, feelings, and sensations without judgement. It is about cultivating a sense of awareness and acceptance of our experiences. By practicing mindfulness, we can reduce stress, increase our focus and clarity, and improve our overall emotional resilience.
Meditation, on the other hand, is a deliberate practice of training our minds to achieve a state of calm and tranquility. It typically involves finding a quiet space, sitting comfortably, and focusing our attention on a specific object, sound, or our breath. Regular meditation can help reduce anxiety, improve sleep quality, and enhance our overall sense of well-being.
Incorporating mindfulness and meditation into our daily routine doesn’t have to be complicated or time-consuming. Here are a few practical tips to get started:
- Start small: Begin with just a few minutes of mindfulness or meditation each day and gradually increase the duration as it becomes more comfortable.
- Find a quiet space: Choose a quiet and peaceful environment where you can relax and focus without distractions. This could be a designated corner in your home or even a local park.
- Set a regular schedule: Consistency is key when it comes to mindfulness and meditation. Set aside a specific time each day to practice, whether it’s in the morning, during lunch breaks, or before bed.
- Experiment with different techniques: There are various types of mindfulness and meditation practices available, such as guided meditation, body scan, or loving-kindness meditation. Explore different techniques to find what works best for you.
Remember, self-care is not selfish. By taking the time to cultivate mindfulness and meditation practices, we are investing in our own well-being and creating a solid foundation for a healthier and happier life.
Next, let’s delve into another important aspect of self-care: physical health and fitness.
As we embark on a new year, it’s important to prioritize our physical well-being as part of our self-care routine. Taking care of our bodies not only helps us feel better physically, but it also has a positive impact on our mental and emotional well-being. Here are some effective and practical physical self-care practices that you can incorporate into your daily routine for a healthier and happier life in the new year:
- Exercise Regularly: Engaging in regular physical activity is essential for maintaining good overall health. Whether it’s going for a brisk walk, jogging, cycling, or practicing yoga, find an activity that you enjoy and make it a regular part of your schedule. Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise most days of the week.
- Prioritize Sleep: Adequate sleep is crucial for our physical and mental recovery. Make sleep a priority by establishing a consistent sleep schedule and creating a bedroom environment that promotes relaxation. Aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep each night to ensure your body has time to rest and rejuvenate.
- Eat Nutritious Foods: Fueling our bodies with nutritious foods is an important aspect of physical self-care. Incorporate a variety of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats into your diet. Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water throughout the day.
- Practice Relaxation Techniques: Engaging in relaxation techniques helps reduce stress and promotes physical well-being. Consider activities such as deep breathing exercises, progressive muscle relaxation, or taking warm baths to relax your body and unwind.
- Take Regular Breaks: In our fast-paced and constantly connected world, it’s important to take regular breaks and give our bodies a chance to rest. Incorporate short breaks throughout your day to stretch, walk around, or engage in activities that help you relax and recharge.
Remember, physical self-care is not about achieving perfection or adhering to strict rules. It’s about listening to your body’s needs and taking steps to support your overall well-being. By practicing physical self-care, you’ll not only feel more energized and physically fit but also improve your mental and emotional outlook on life. So, let’s make physical self-care a priority in the new year and invest in our long-term well-being.
Nourishing Your Body
When it comes to self-care, nourishing your body is an essential component for overall well-being. Taking care of your physical health is not only important for your body but also for your mind and emotional well-being. Here are some practical tips on how to incorporate physical self-care practices into your daily routines for a healthier and happier life in the new year:
- Prioritize Regular Exercise: Engaging in regular physical activity has numerous benefits, including increased energy levels, improved mood, and better sleep quality. It’s important to find activities that you enjoy and make exercise a priority in your schedule. Whether it’s hitting the gym, going for a jog, or practicing yoga, find what works best for you and make it a habit.
- Get Enough Sleep: Adequate sleep is crucial for your overall well-being. It’s during sleep that your body repairs and rejuvenates itself. Make it a priority to get 7-8 hours of quality sleep every night. Create a relaxing bedtime routine, avoid electronic devices before bed, and create a comfortable sleep environment to ensure a restful night’s sleep.
- Eat Nutritious Foods: Fueling your body with nutritious foods is an important form of self-care. A balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins provides your body with the necessary nutrients to function optimally. Prioritize eating well-rounded meals and make healthy food choices that nourish your body from the inside out.
- Practice Relaxation Techniques: In our fast-paced lives, it’s crucial to incorporate relaxation techniques to calm the mind and reduce stress. Whether it’s practicing deep breathing exercises, taking a warm bath, or engaging in a hobby you enjoy, find ways to relax and unwind. Carving out time for relaxation helps to reduce stress and improve your overall well-being.
- Take Regular Breaks: Listening to your body’s needs is crucial for self-care. Throughout the day, make it a point to take regular breaks to rest and rejuvenate. Stand up from your desk, stretch, or take a quick walk outside. Giving yourself short breaks throughout the day can help increase productivity, improve focus, and prevent burnout.
Cultivating Positive Relationships
Having positive and fulfilling relationships is an essential aspect of self-care. When we surround ourselves with supportive and loving people, it can greatly contribute to our overall well-being. Cultivating positive relationships is not only beneficial for our mental and emotional health, but it can also enhance our physical well-being.
Here are a few ways I prioritize cultivating positive relationships in my life:
1. Nurturing Existing Relationships: Taking time to connect with loved ones and invest in our relationships is crucial. Whether it’s calling a friend, scheduling regular catch-ups, or planning quality time with family, nurturing existing relationships helps create deeper connections and strengthens bonds.
2. Building New Connections: While it’s important to nurture existing relationships, it can also be fulfilling to build new connections. Joining clubs, attending social events, or engaging in activities that align with our interests can introduce us to like-minded individuals and create opportunities to form new relationships.
3. Setting Boundaries: Setting healthy boundaries in our relationships is essential for maintaining a healthy and positive dynamic. Learning to say “no” when needed, expressing our needs and concerns, and respecting the boundaries of others creates an environment of mutual respect and understanding.
4. Practicing Active Listening: Effective communication is a cornerstone of any successful relationship. Being an active listener involves giving our full attention to the person speaking, validating their feelings, and offering support and empathy. By practicing active listening, we can foster deeper connections and strengthen our relationships.
5. Expressing Gratitude: Expressing gratitude is a powerful way to cultivate positive relationships. Taking the time to express appreciation and gratitude towards the people in our lives can boost their mood and strengthen our bond. It also helps us focus on the positive aspects of our relationships and enhances our overall well-being.
Cultivating positive relationships is a continuous process that requires effort and intentionality. By prioritizing our relationships and nurturing them with care, we can create a support system that uplifts and enriches our lives.
Investing in self-care is not a luxury, but a necessary act of self-love and self-respect. By prioritizing our well-being, we are setting ourselves up for a healthier and happier life in the new year.
Throughout this article, we have explored various self-care practices, from physical health to cultivating positive relationships. We have learned practical tips on how to incorporate these practices into our daily routines.
Taking care of our physical health involves regular exercise, sufficient sleep, nutritious eating, relaxation techniques, and regular breaks. Nourishing our bodies is essential for overall well-being, and it is crucial to listen to our body’s needs.
Cultivating positive relationships is another vital aspect of self-care. Nurturing existing connections, building new relationships, setting boundaries, active listening, and expressing gratitude all contribute to our overall well-being.
Remember, self-care requires effort and intentionality, but it can create a support system that uplifts and enriches our lives. As we embark on a new year, let us prioritize our well-being and make self-care a non-negotiable part of our lives.
What is self-care?
Self-care refers to taking intentional actions to prioritize and maintain our physical, mental, and emotional well-being. It involves engaging in activities that promote relaxation, self-reflection, and self-improvement.
Why is self-care important?
Self-care is important because it helps us recharge, reduce stress, and prevent burnout. It enhances our overall well-being and quality of life, allowing us to show up as our best selves in our personal and professional lives.
What are some self-care practices?
Some self-care practices include regular exercise, getting enough sleep, eating nutritious foods, practicing mindfulness and meditation, setting boundaries, nurturing relationships, engaging in hobbies, and practicing self-compassion.
How can I incorporate self-care into my daily routine?
You can incorporate self-care into your daily routine by setting aside dedicated time for self-care activities, prioritizing your needs, being mindful of your energy levels, and committing to self-care as a non-negotiable part of your day.
Is self-care a luxury?
No, self-care is not a luxury. It is a necessary investment in our well-being. Prioritizing self-care allows us to take care of ourselves and meet our needs, ultimately enabling us to better care for others and succeed in various areas of our lives.

Hi everyone! I know it’s been a while. Thanks for bearing with me through infrequent blogs and newsletters.
Truth be told, ever since attending the Atlanta Writer’s Conference last November, I’ve been at a creative standstill. Those of you who receive my newsletter know that I got material requested from an editor at Tor Books—which still floors me to say. I rode that high for a week—still not completely sure if it was real—but now it’s been over five months with no word back, and I’m falling apart a little.
Still, I have good news to report. Last Thursday, I received my first-ever author credential and my first fiction publication!
Some time ago, I picked up an issue of F(r)iction’s literary magazine at a Barnes & Noble. It stood out to me because it was in full color—front to back! It was beautiful. Art and writing together? I was in heaven. It has always been a dream to be published in their literary magazine.
Last week, I decided to submit to their weekly Dually Noted series to the prompt, “God sends out a letter of resignation.” This is a weekly contest they do where they choose the best of the submissions they’ve received to post to their online blog. And boy, oh, boy when I saw that email last Thursday night…
It’s been so long since the conference (and subsequently, two other submissions to F(r)iction’s print magazine) that I was starting to lose hope. I felt like it—publication of any form but on my own—was never going to happen.
Getting the acceptance note for my piece “With Resignation” was unreal. It felt like there were hundreds of crystals shimmering under my skin, like chills but better. I had to read the email a few times before I believed it; I kept thinking maybe I missed a word somewhere that said they were rejecting it.
Some of you are familiar with my non-fiction articles that have been published in my local newspaper, The News Leader, but this is a whole new level for me. For one, this is my first fiction publication. Secondly, this was the first time where my writing had to speak for itself in its quality. It gave me a new sense of hope for my writing career.
After twelve years of writing and nine years of pursuing writing as a career, this was a turning point for me. It finally feels somewhat achievable. Someone who doesn’t know me has validated my writing—and that’s an incredible feeling! (Something only an artist can say, haha!)
Another reason this is so huge is because it’s what agents and editors look for in an author’s bio. In the writing world, you must have an author bio that includes the things that you’ve accomplished. F(r)iction Magazine has published authors like Jeff Vandermeer (Annihilation), Christopher Moore (Lamb—aka my favorite book), Holly Black (The Cruel Prince trilogy), and Rebecca Roanhorse (Black Sun, Tread of Angels). To be published by the same magazine that has published these names means a lot in the publishing world!
I can’t wait to rewrite my author bio!
So, without further ado, please check out my first-ever fiction publication and author cred here: https://frictionlit.org/with-resignation/

ELNORA — The Tecumseh Braves entered Tuesday looking for their eighth straight regional title, but North Daviess had other ideas.
The Cougars (16-11) jumped on the Braves (17-11) immediately on their way to a 7-2 victory to clinch a berth in Saturday's softball semistate in Elnora and their 16th win in the last 21 games.
North Daviess starter Tailon Graber continued her postseason dominance with her third straight complete game. Graber worked around a two-out walk in the first, and the North Daviess offense went to work. Leadoff hitter Taylor Swartzentruber struck out looking, but the Cougars reeled off seven hits in their next 10 at-bats to go with a walk, fielders choice and a hit by pitch.
North Daviess scored seven runs on seven hits off Tecumseh starting pitcher Tiffany Summers. The rally included a two-run single from sophomore Sarah Fitzgerald and RBI hits from Swartzentruber, Morgan Wadsworth, Kristi Swartzentruber, Brooke Lindy, and Kayla Knepp.
"These girls don't know how to die," said North Daviess coach Jodi Berry. "We were 1-7 and senior leadership was doing this tonight."
It was evident in the first inning that the North Daviess strategy would be to make Summers work and the plan worked perfectly. Tecumseh's senior pitcher threw 42 pitches in the first inning and topped 100 in her six innings. Summers didn't allow a run the rest of the game and only three hits, but the damage was more than enough.
"We said the only way we're going to win is if we swing the bats," Berry said. "Our motto has been, there are going to be hits, there are going to be runs, but we just have to do more. We came out and attacked and again we didn't hit the cover off the ball, but you put the ball in play and good things happen."

Judiciary should not be made scapegoats for law enforcement failures- Bar Association
Kaieteur News news item. Friday 30 May 2008
The Guyana Bar Association (GBA) says that judges and the legal profession should not be made scapegoats for the failure of the law enforcement agencies to do their job of intelligently investigating and prosecuting crimes.
The Bar Association in a press release expressed great alarm “at recent comments and statements made by the Honourable Minister of Home Affairs, Mr. Clement Rohee, and His Excellency, Mr. Bharrat Jagdeo, the President of Guyana, concerning the administration of justice in our community, the most recent of which appeared in an article published in the Kaieteur News of May 22nd, 2008, in which the Minister considered the decision to grant bail to a murder accused to be a challenge to the government by the judiciary.”
The GBA said that it wishes to remind the Minister that the primary law of the country is the Constitution before which all other Laws must subordinate.
According to the GBA, the Constitution says at Article 144 (2) (a) that a person is presumed innocent until he is proved guilty by a Court of Law or has pleaded guilty.
This means that neither the Legislature nor the Executive can direct the Courts how to find a person on the trial of a matter, and therefore neither the Legislature nor the Executive should presume to tell the courts how they must determine matters.
“The freedom of an individual is still sacrosanct in our country, and the only guarantee of that freedom is the operation of independent Courts of Law staffed by independent judicial officers,” the GBA said in its press release.
It added that there have been much learned papers written about the object and application of bail, and all of them have in common that bail is not to be used as a punishment of an accused person before the court has found him guilty.
“In fact, the urging of members of the Executive to deny bail when our Constitution provides that a person shall not be deprived of his personal liberty except in certain conditions (Article 139) is a form of intimidation that sets a dangerous precedent and should not be lightly trifled with,” the GBA said.
The GBA explained that bail is a judicial discretion that must be weighed by the judicial officer in accordance with the facts and circumstances of each and every case and administered according to principle and precedent.
It is unreasonable to expect that the decision of the magistrate or judge will find universal approbation, but it must find universal respect as an inherently judicial process, the GBA explained.
The Bar Association pointed to Minister Rohee’s further assertion that “There appeared to be a disjointed criminal justice system, which was granting bail to murder accused. We now have bail applications being granted to murder accused. The judiciary has now become totally unpredictable and case law is now thrown out the window,” pointing out that it is unfortunate and unjustified, and implies that the Minister is more au fait with case law than the Courts or indeed the legal profession.
Such an assertion and attack on the judges and the legal profession, the Bar Association stated, is unacceptable.
According to the body of legal practitioners, in the context of these recent utterances by Minister Rohee, the disclaimer notwithstanding, earlier comments by his Excellency the President Mr. Bharrat Jagdeo reported in the Stabroek News of the 29th April, 2008 raise serious implications regarding policy.
The President is reported as saying – “We have witnessed some element of judicial lawmaking and I hope that you will look into that to see that the judges and the magistrates abide with the laws of the country and the will of the legislature because we need a fair judiciary that is bound by the laws of the country, so we need to work on that.”
The statement was made in an address to the Police Officers’ Conference at Eve Leary on Thursday 24th April, 2008.
According to the Bar Association, the exhortation to look into and see that “the judges and the magistrates abide with the laws of the country” can be interpreted as a threat aimed at the judicial officers of this country, a notion that is improper and violative of our Constitution.
“When the statement is further embellished with the words that ‘we need a fair judiciary that is bound by the laws of the country’, this suggests that the judiciary is not fair and is not bounded by the laws,” the Bar Association stated.
The GBA urges that as Guyanese there is the need to understand and at the very least realize that the judicial system is staffed by human beings who have flaws, but who must be presumed to be acting with professional integrity.
To threaten the judiciary is to shake the very foundations of the society and wake the beast of anarchy, the Bar Association pointed out.
“These statements can be interpreted as an attempt to intimidate persons who hold judicial office and make them fearful of deciding matters in a manner that the executive does not approve”.
The GBA wishes to therefore urge a more sober and tempered approach which avoids recent utterances.
“What is needed instead is a commitment to systemically revamp law enforcement whilst working with the judiciary to achieve a common understanding for the good of the country and all of its citizens as a whole,” the Bar Association said.

Change is understood as doing things differently in order to
cope up with emerging changes in the organisation environment. Change in any
part of the organisation may affect the whole organisation. Change could be
proactive or reactive. A proactive change has necessarily to be planned to
attempt to prepare for anticipated future challenges. Generally it is initiated
by management. A reactive Change may be an automatic response to a change
taking place in the environment (John Lacovini, “The human side of Organisation
Change”, January 1993, Page 35.)
main success of implementation the change is achieved by identifying and
understanding the factors which block the implementation process. Kotter (1996,
p. 3) described blocks as the entirety of the hindrances and issues experienced
by business firms in the course of implementing change.
model provides eight reasons why process of change in an organization fails. It
means that if these eight reasons for failure is removed or their impact is
minimized a successful change process is possible. These eight steps can
broadly divided into three categories as creating a climate for change (steps
1-3), engaging and enabling (steps 4-6) and implementing and sustaining (step7-8).
So Kotter’s model can be used to assess the change process in JIPLC.
the first step the senior management of JIPLC realised that a change in their
system of operations was necessary in order for them to grow in business by
increasing the productiveness of the workforce. Hence the JIPLC did not delay
in addressing the issue and realised the need for technological innovation and
new marketing strategies required in the company operations. These were the
internal factors that the company was sorting out after reviewing the questionnaire
which was distributed among all employees in the end of the year 2015. Taking
everything into account, it can be said that the sense of urgency was
established in all employees at annual conference in the beginning of the year
second step is to create a strong guiding coalition. The management of JIPLC
formed a team of experts from the internal executives to help in guiding the
change process of the management immediately.
order to succeed the third step the expert team appointed by the management
presented a new vision for favoring the success and growth of the organization.
They also suggested some strategies to achieve the vision on a short period of
time which is in the year 2018.
the vision to the employees in a way to accept is the fourth step. The
management created a vision for the change and it is very important for the
organization to lead into the vision to its employees. The company planned to
increase the productiveness of work force. So, this may create a conflicts or
misunderstanding between management and employees of the company in
communicating vision. The top management was able to properly guide the
employees in how to respond that change from the assistance of the training and
development department during the first quater.
the fourth step the JIPLC management was completely failed because they didn’t
empower employees to implement that vision. Employees weren’t encouraged to
take any risks without the approval of the management and they were not allowed
to take decisions at their own. Even management never used to welcome any new
ideas from the employees during the monthly branch meetings.

Americana 059 & 060
In prepping for the Cotton Pickin' Fair, I knew some Americana pieces were necessary. I have long admired the work of Jasper Johns and the beauty of his flags. He could take something we see every day and make you look at it in a different way. He could also use it as a vehicle for experimentation. Flags have long been used by many artists as such a vehicle. Peter Max and Steve Penley come to mind. No that my style is settling and, it is my turn. Recently my experimentation pieces have been the Stand of Pines series. I hope to do many more of these on museum and gallery wrap. These are on regular canvas and will probably do better framed.

Each year, people in over 1,500 cities in 40 countries celebrate World Carfree Day. This annual event aims to raise awareness of the problems caused by our dependence on private cars. Streets are closed to traffic and opened instead to street parties, theatre, bicycle demonstrations or outdoor cafés, in order to show people what their city might look like if there were fewer or no cars. Over one hundred million people are believed to take part in the celebrations, although this figure is difficult to verify.
The hope is that the initiative will encourage more environmentally friendly alternatives to the car, such as walking, cycling and public transport. However , with increasing global car production and a world which has grown used to the benefits of private transport, some say the battle is already lost. But even if we are unlikely to see cities without any cars at all, people may at least begin to change their habits and leave their car at home more often. (by V.R.)
