Coming into this match on the back of a loss to Bengal Warriors, the Titans’ cause was aided by exemplary display of defence from Vishal Bhardwaj.
When the pressure mounted, Vishal kept a cool head to tide over the difficulty. In the face of danger, the Titans defence didn’t panic and played with composure and confidence. With this win, the Titans improved its head-to-head record over Pirates to 7-6. This is Pirates’ second loss in four matches and its two-match winning run ended.
The tide turned decisively in the Titans’ favour late in the second-half when Vishal and Abozar alternately won crucial Super Tackles on Pardeep Narwal. The Pirate’s coach Rammeher Singh said his team’s raiding, which is supposed to be its strong suit, failed to perform to its potential.
“Pardeep getting out in those two Super Tackles was definitely a turning point. Pardeep had an off-day. And the Titans’ defence improved markedly in the second-half. Their defenders neutralised Pardeep’s threat. One of our defenders went for an advance tackle at a crucial juncture and it backfired,” rued Rammeher.
At the completion of first-half, Patna Pirates was leading Telugu Titans by three points at 17-14. It was the Titans that got off the blocks quickly taking a 4-0 lead before the Pirates got its act together and took the lead for the first time in the ninth minute when the lanky Manjeet won two raid points in a do-or-die raid. What was impressive about that raid was Manjeet nailed the two burly Iranian defenders in Abozar and Mohsen to make it 6-5 in his team’s favour.
After his first three raids ended in failure, Pirates skipper Pardeep Narwal found his feet and got his rival Rahul Chaudhari out in a do-or-die raid. Pardeep was at it again in the 11th minute when he earned two points to inflict the game’s first All Out. In the second match of the day, home side Puneri Paltan got the better of Anup Kumar-led Jaipur Pink Panthers, with a scoreline of 29-25.

When you can’t even see a part, you might forget about it, but it doesn’t mean its not important. Flat tires are probably the most common bicycle failures. Many times, flats are caused by the rims, specifically the lack of protection from the rims' sharp edges. Good rim strips didn’t exist for BMX rims. They work well and improve the function of any 20 inch rim. If you forget about them, that means they are doing their job.

Kingsport Containers, Ltd, of the Bahamas experiences wide variation in demand for the 200-liter steel drums it fabricates. The leakproof, rustproof steel drums have a variety of uses from storing liquids and bulk materials to serving as makeshift musical instruments. The drums are made to order and are painted according to the customer’s specifications—often in bright patterns and de-signs. The company is well known for the artwork that appears on its drums. Unit product costs are computed on a quarterly basis by dividing each quarter’s manufacturing costs (materials, labor, and overhead) by the quarter’s production in units. The company’s estimated costs, by quarter, for the coming year follow:
Direct materials $240,000
Total manufacturing costs $668,000
Number of units to be produced. Estimated unit product cost. . . .
First Second Third Fourth
$240,000 128,000 300,000 $120,000 64,000 220,000 $60,000 32,000 1 80,000 $180,000 96,000 260,000
$668,000 $404,000 $272,000 $536,000
80,000 $8.35 40,000 $10.10 20,000 $13.60 60,000 $8.93
Management finds the variation in unit costs confusing and difficult to work with. It has been sug¬gested that the problem lies with manufacturing overhead because it is the largest element of cost. Accordingly, you have been asked to find a more appropriate way of assigning manufacturing over¬head cost to units of product. After some analysis, you have determined that the company’s overhead costs are mostly fixed and therefore show little sensitivity to changes in the level of production.

ing overhead cost be assigned to production? Be specific, and show computations.

President Muhammad Buhari has stated during his recent visit to the US that his government would not consider decriminalizing gay marriage in Nigeria. Well, that did not come to me as a surprise because President Buhari is a hardline conservative muslim whom I think would be unwilling to support any legislative or policy change that is not compatible with sharia law.
A lot has been said about militant Islam and extreme Christian, traditional religious practices in Nigeria. There has been much focus on violent attacks by the jihadist group, Boko Haram, on the abuses perpetrated by sharia policing agencies and the nefarious activities of homophobic pentecostal churches and witch hunting pastors in the country. Unfortunately not much attention has been paid to the efforts of humanists, atheists, skeptics and agnostics in the country to address these problems. Not many Nigerians know about the campaigns by humanists against witch hunting, blasphemy law and harmful traditional practices. In fact not many Nigerians know that humanists and humanist groups exist in the country.
The Biafra Civil War from 1967-1970 resulted when the small West African region – primarily populated by the Igbo tribe – attempted to secede from Nigeria, a former British colony. An estimated 1-2 million people were killed in the conflict; 40% were Igbo children who died of starvation and malnutrition. The Igbo thought the global community would support them, but they gained little assistance, whereas Nigeria was massively armed by the British and Russians. Biafra was invaded and the Igbo were eventually subdued.
How are the Igbo doing today? Have they survived economically? Are they participating in Nigerian political affairs? Have enmities been forgiven?
Ivory Coast is one of the countries in Africa where belief is witchcraft is widespread. A Gallup Poll found in 2010 that up to 95 percent of the populations believed in “sorciellerie” – the French word for witchcraft. This means that witchcraft is more or less a ‘national religion’. Almost everyone in the country thinks as a matter of fact, not fantasy that witchcraft is real in its conception and consequences, that people can harm others using mystical means.
The small community of Kyarumba, Uganda, is located in the southern end of Rwenzori Mountains (aka Mountains of the Moon). It straddles a wild river that is prone to flooding. The community recently got electricity.
African traditional medicine is widely perceived as a form of voodoo medicine, as a survival of some stone age pre-modern illiterate formation that still functions and fulfills medical purposes for Africans. This is, at least, how many anthropologists have viewed the subject. They have argued that African traditional medicine is unlike ‘western medicine’, and then go on to establish how witchcraft and magic is embedded in this ‘unique’ medical practice. African medicine men and women are portrayed as witch doctors - as if the traditional-medical profession is about treating and curing witchcraft.
Like other countries in Africa, Zambia is a very religious nation and has the dubious of distinction of being officially declared a Christian nation by President Federick Chiluba in 1996. One need not look far to see where Chiluba got the political will to establish this Christian nation. Eighty seven percent of the population is Christian and only twelve percent profess other faiths. The number of non-believers is too low to measure. Apparently, Zambia is 100 percent religious and theistic.
A few years ago, Gulu was the center of an ugly uprising that left northern Uganda in dire straights. Since the defeat of the rebel group–the Lord’s Resistance Army–the area is in recovery, but is still poor.
Our objectives in being in the Gulu area were threefold:
Four persons suspected of murdering an ‘albino’ have reportedly been arrested in Malawi. They allegedly abducted an ‘albino’ man from his village, killed him, removed his body parts and buried them in a riverbed. These horrific murders which have been taking place mainly in Tanzania seem to be spreading to this Southern African country, and it is important to rally Malawians against this horrendous practice before it is too late.
If you are one of those who think there is no connection between politics and the savage practice of albino killing in Tanzania, then you need to read the recent statement from the Deputy Minister for Home Affairs, Pereira Silima. Silima made it clear to politicians in the country that if they stopped patronizing the ‘witch doctors’ then this East African country might see an end to the shameful and horrific murders of albinos.
The people in Tanzania need to discard the belief that drives them to attack kidnap and kill people living with albinism.
After I’d been living in rural Africa for a few months, I remarked to an American friend, “Based on careful analysis, I’ve discovered why people here are so poor: They don’t have any money.”
Poor people don’t have money. When they get money they become less poor. Sounds staggeringly obvious, but you’d be surprised how convoluted, dysfunctional and tangled up in bureaucracy that equation becomes once governments and the big foreign aid organizations—the Do-Gooder Industrial Complex—get involved.
Implemented by the Liberian Ministry of Gender and Development with support from UNICEF and funded by the EU and Japan, it was called the “Social Cash Transfer Programme (SCT)” and was aimed at the “ultra-poor” - the poorest of the poor.
Children are among those who populate the witch camps in the Northern Ghana. These children are not at the sanctuary because they were accused of witchcraft. They are at these shelters because their mothers or grand mothers were accused. But from my observations, many of these children end up suffering as a result the label of witchcraft applied to their mothers or grand mothers. The belief in child witches exist among the Dagomba and other ethnic communities in the Northern region. But it takes a different dimension.
Is every orphanage in the world operated by a religious organization?
Nope. Not any more.
BiZoHa Orphanage was launched by four members of the Brighter Brains Institute - a think-and-do tank located in San Francisco’s East Bay. BiZoHa is situated in Muhokya, in Kasese province, near the Rwenzori mountains of western Uganda, close to the Congo border.
Witch sanctuaries, described by local NGOs as ‘witch camps’, form part of the infrastructure of witchcraft in Northern Ghana. These sanctuaries are shrines, though one of sanctuaries in Gushiegu is not attached to any shrine. Tindana are the heads of the sanctuaries. The Dagbani term, Tindana, literally means - the one who owns the land. They are responsible for consulting the Tindang, the community spirit or god whenever there is a problem like drought or epidemic, war, plague, accusations of death or illness witchcraft, etc
We are pleased to announce that IEET Affiliate Scholar Hank Pellissier is returning to the staff as IEET Interim Managing Director and Fundraiser. Hank was Managing Director from 2011-2012. The 2012-2015 Managing Director, Kris Notaro, who continued Hank’s work and helped recruit more than a hundred additional IEET writers, will begin directing the Rights of the Person Program, focusing on issues of consciousness and personhood.
I am interested in “secularizing” Africa because I believe this would benefit the continent intellectually, socially, and economically. To help advance this goal I support Kasese Humanist Primary School, and I co-launched BiZoHa - the world’s first atheist orphanage.
Education is important to every individual on this planet. In pre-colonial Uganda, education was mainly informal. Missionaries and colonialists introduced the formal education system, but the missionaries wanted Africans to believe in the message of Jesus.
Today, Jesus and Muhammed have almost equal shares in Africa.
As religion dies in the western countries, it is busy in Africa, along with poverty and human rights abuses.
Anybody who thinks that the wave of christianity based witch hunting and pentecostalism sweeping across Africa and migrant communities is due to some unique strand of piety and religiosity of Africans should think again. The rise of African pentecostalism has a lot to do with the 'business acumen' of the region's 'pastorpreneurs' who are exploiting the situation in the region.
My Ethiopian guide had mentioned a possible visit to the village of Awra Amba. I had never heard of the place, so I looked it up on the Internet. When I learned that it was a “utopian” community in northern Ethiopia, I decided I to pay a visit. I had previously traveled to a similar “utopian” enterprise–Gaviotas–in Colombia in 2010.
When Reuters announced the successful deployment of the first Internet-enabled pacemaker in the United States, it was a dream come true for many. The news came late in the summer of 2009, three weeks after Carol Kasyjanski became the first American recipient of a wireless pacemaker that allowed her doctor to monitor her health from afar. Since then there has been a proliferation of Internet-connected personal medical devices, or iPMDs, which now include insulin pumps, glucometers, blood pressure cuffs, pulse oximeters, walking canes, and of course, the ubiquitous fitness wearables.
What do emerging technologies mean for a developing economy like Nigeria? This is the second article in a series where I focus on the World Economic Forum’s list of the most promising emerging technologies for the year 2015. Here, I examine the implications of technological breakthroughs such as precise genetic engineering, additive manufacturing, and artificial intelligence, in developing economies such as Nigeria.
On a recent trip (Jan/Feb 2015) to Uganda and Ethiopia, we installed 3 new swing sets, finished a wooden one that partially completed, and made a few repairs to several existing swings. I love installing swing sets around the world. It’s fun overcoming the logistical problems, and it’s great to see the kids having a fun time swinging back and forth.

A guide of how to survive and do well in Far Cry 2. Some basic pointers and tips.
1Ceasefire zones. Most towns in the game are ceasefire zones, meaning, the soldiers there won't shoot at you; but do not shoot while in a zone (unless you want to create chaos) or all the soldiers will come after you.
2Always be ready. It's a dog-eat-dog game; even if you're cruising down a remote path, always look out for patrolling jeeps. They always attack you.
3Check your map. Your map shows guerrilla camps and safe-houses. If you are not looking for a fight, avoid the camps. Be warned, most intersections have camps.
4Check your guns. The Older your gun is, the more likely it will jam or even blow up. Always visit the gun dealers and get fresh guns and ammo.
5Plan your arsenal. Be smart about gun combos. Most sniper rifles won't do well in a firefight, so a good combo is a handgun, a sniper and a machine gun. See point 6.
6Save bullets. It will happen that you'll just injure an enemy. If this happens, they will be vulnerable for a moment. In that time, kill them using your handgun so that you can save bullets for your main gun. If you don't kill them, they'll get up and start shooting again.
7Listen. This point can really save your skin in later parts of the game. If you're hiding, listen to what they are saying and listen from which way it's coming from. Later in the game, they will begin using mortars. They normally use it when you're in a vehicle. They are very accurate and if you don't pay attention, you'll be blown to bits. Only way you'll know if one's coming is by the whistle it gives off. If you hear it, turn as fast as you can and head in another direction.
8Stealth. Stealth is always on your side. If you ever watched the predator movies, you can get a good feeling of being one by playing Far Cry 2. Stalk your enemies, use tall grass, rocks and buildings to hide. This way, you can pick your enemies off one by one; they sometimes begin to panic.
9It's Africa. Use your environment; set everything on fire and flush them out.Advertisement
QuestionHow do I proceed in the story? I did the first few missions but have no idea what to do now.Community AnswerGo to Pala, find a closed door being guarded by a mobster (there are two of them, one for each faction), interact with him and he will let you in. Talk to the faction leaders and get missions.

- Rivers can be more effective than roads. There aren't so many camps on rivers and patrolling boats aren't as common.
- If you use the same gun for a while, it will begin jam and it will later blow apart
- Bazookas don't work well in the setting. They will fire, but they also blow out fire from it's other end, setting everything around you on fire (suicide gun)
- If you are driving a vehicle with a mounted gun, turn it around, this will really save your life.
- Know which key to press to switch between the driver seat and the mounted gun
- There are enemy patrols while you're driving, watch out.
Submit a Tip
All tip submissions are carefully reviewed before being published
Thanks for submitting a tip for review!
- The enemy will have the advantage of numbers. When they see you, you will be overwhelmed very quickly.
- Fire in this game is unpredictable, if the wind blows your way, run like hell.
- The AI is fairly sophisticated, what worked in one area may not work in another.
- Malaria will kick in every so often, even during battle. That means you will have to administer your medication even in a fire fight, be prepared.
Things You'll Need
- Farcry 2
- A system to play it on (PC, Xbox etc.)

As President-Elect Donald Trump prepares for his inauguration, more questions are being asked about potential conflicts of interest and ethics violations.
During Wednesday’s contentious press conference, Trump and his lawyer detailed the steps he would take to separate himself from his businesses while he is President of the United States. For many ethics experts, Trump handing control of his business empire over to his sons is not enough.
One ethics expert considers his proposal a “halfway blind trust.”
Walter Shaub, head of the Office of Government Ethics, slammed President-Elect Trump for his inadequate plan to divest himself of his business holdings. During a speech at the Brookings Institution, he said:
“It’s important to understand that the President is now entering the world of public service. He’s going to be asking his own appointees to make sacrifices. He’s going to be asking our men and women in uniform to risk their lives in conflicts around the world. So, no, I don’t think divestiture is too high a price to pay to be the President of the United States of America.”
During Friday’s edition of NewsOne Now, Roland Martin said Trump “is playing a dangerous game by his unwillingness to divest,” adding, “Many ethics experts say on day one he could be in violation of the Constitution.”
Rashad Robinson, Executive Director of the Color of Change, said Trump is counting on the soon-to-be Republican majority in Congress to “not do anything.”
According to Robinson, “Republicans will go along with Donald Trump selling out our freedoms, selling out our economy, so he can put his name on everything … and he can make money for his friends and family.”
Watch Roland Martin, Rashad Robinson, and the NewsOne Now panel discuss the potential ethics violations Donald Trump could entangle himself in if he does not fully divest in the video clip above.

A hen, an egg, a farmer, happier people and a better world? I was totally sold.
The author’s name - Joel Salatin - didn’t ring a bell, but It didn’t matter.
After a matter of minutes, I was already flipping to the first page during my subway ride home.
The thing that surprised me as I was reading it, is that the cover is the least awesome thing about this book. I literally devoured the pages in a couple of days.
Salatin runs Polyface, Inc., a family owned, multi-generational, pasture-based and (beyond) organic farm.
His true love for farming transpires right from the first sentence. He was born, raised, lives and will live at Polyface. He created a model for sustainable farming and turned it into a successful business.
When he talks about it, you can feel that it’s a part of him. There’s no Salatin without Polyface and there’s no Polyface without Salatin.
He has put his heart and his arms in it. The arms that have labored the soil and raised livestock for decades.
Salatin is a strong advocate of natural and sustainable farming in contrast with intensive factory farming practices currently used to mass produce meat in the US.
With meticulous precision, he points all the flaws and inefficiencies of factory farming and the consequences that this can cause to our well-being.
His analysis doesn’t stop at a mere criticism of the faults of the current system. Salatin, at the end of each chapter, provides possible practical applications to elevate the issues.
He's honestly concerned about the quality of the food we eat. He clearly sees the reality of things and want to do something to redress part of the damage.
At times Salatin loses focus and starts rambling on the benefits of self responsibility and limited government. He attacks US politics, the judicial system and even President Lincoln. Dark spots of Liberal propaganda that can be distracting in what otherwise is a brilliant book.
When Salatin talks about the things he cares and loves, his prose shines and his arguments are strong and powerfully convincing.
If you care about the food you eat, and want to know more about how it is produced and where it comes from, then this book is for you.

It’s the post-fashion-month marathon chill that really lets you look back at some of the season’s best, yet off the radar, collections. I’m always impressed with Maryam Nassir Zadeh‘s work, whether we’re speaking of her New York boutique that sells a well-curated bunch of favourite designers, or the ready-to-wear brand she designs herself. This season, Maryam introduces ‘handpicking dressing’ – so a very spontaneous, artistically oriented, but laid-back way of wearing clothes. Brief examples: a sari top over a sweater dress, acid-green pants and Western boots, shiny prairie dress topped with glass heart necklace. But for Nassir Zadeh, not only the clothes matter – it’s also the authenticity. “There’s so much minimalism out there, and I’m such a fan of minimalism, but people copy each other so much. So to make something your own and make it personal with something from the heart, with a unique touch, that’s authentic. It tells a story.” Here, she points out the usage of the most contrasting textiles, wearing the quirkiest jewellery and the cutest mini-bags. It might all sound like a description of a desperate identity seeker. But no – Maryam Nassir Zadeh actually does the most elusive, sensual and wearable fashion in New York. With love and passion.
Can’t wait for the autumn-winter 2018 to hit the stores? You better get hold of those candy pink Agnes boots or spring-ready Sophie sandals in lemon by the designer.

Hakikul Islam Khokan, Senior Correspondent: QUEENS, New York, NY – U.S. Rep. Grace Meng (D-Queens) issued the following statement after Mayor de Blasio announced that the City will partner with Queens Public Library (QPL) to open a new vaccination site at Flushing Library, with plans to open additional sites to serve different communities across the borough.
“I’m thrilled to have worked with Mayor de Blasio to open a COVID-19 vaccination site at the Flushing Library in Flushing, Queens. I have been advocating for this and I am grateful the Mayor is delivering for my constituents,” said Congresswoman Meng. “Nearly a year ago, my district in Queens was at the nexus of the epicenter of the COVID-19 pandemic. We cannot ever go back to those days – and this site will help make sure that we do not. I encourage all eligible residents to get vaccinated when possible. We must get every eligible person vaccinated if we are to safely return to normalcy.”
The Flushing Library located at 41-17 Main Street will initially offer more than 200 appointments per day. It will also include dedicated appointments for eligible Queens residents, and will be open six days a week, from 12:00 PM – 8:00 PM. Additional days and appointments will be available as supply increases citywide.
Starting March 10th, New Yorkers age 60 and above will qualify to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. Later this week, eligible New Yorkers can make an appointment at nyc.gov/vaccinefinder or by calling 877-VAX-4NYC.
Flushing Library’s last day of public service will be Thursday, March 11, from 12:00 PM to 7:00PM. You can pick up any library materials or remote printing requests currently on hold at Flushing through that time.
If you are unable to pick up your requested materials at Flushing, they will be available at Queensboro Hill Library (60-05 Main Street in Flushing) starting Monday, March 15.

The current evolution of my work is moving toward the exploration of quantum theories and human identity. In the last hundred years, physicists have discovered paradoxical concepts that reveal deeper realities about the physical world. Through my research of these theories, my work investigates questions of interconnectivity and the power of emotion, intention, and perceptual influence over our experiences.
Deeply influenced by nature's rhythms (such as birth and death), I express these extremes through my work to explore the space where they meet. I am inspired by abstract expressionists like Lee Krasner, Helen Frankenthaler, and Mark Bradford; who explore the terrain of chaos and the subconscious. One of the beautiful things about chaos is that when you look at it from different scales, patterns start to emerge. My intention for the work is to invoke paradoxical perceptions the same way life does, and have each piece act as a mirror reflecting back our state of consciousness. The work will be a catalyst for self-awareness.

Trade and Industry Secretary Patricia Hewitt will this week tell British steelworkers she is confident they will be exempted from draconian tariffs of up to 30 per cent on imports of steel to the US.
She will tell employees of steelmaker Corus at Rotherham on Friday that she believes the case made by the former British Steel and by a number of smaller companies is strong enough to gain exemptions from the US tariff regime imposed by President George Bush last month.
Hewitt has been in constant contact with US Trade Representative Robert Zoellick, arguing that British firms should be exempted from the measures. Prime Minister Tony Blair intervened directly with Bush at their summit this month to press the case, telling him the measures would be unpopular with US steel consumers, who would see prices rise.
Hewitt has maintained that the tariffs are unacceptable and backs moves by the European Union to get them overturned by the World Trade Organisation and to retaliate with some counter-measures of its own.
But she is also campaign ing for exemptions for the United Kingdom, which is likely to strain relations with other EU countries.
An exemption for the UK could cover up to eight companies and about 280,000 tonnes of exported steel, of which some 130,000 comes from Corus.
Corus has applied for an exemption, arguing that higher-grade 'engineering steel', which makes up much of the company's US exports, should be exempted.
The US government does not have to take a decision on exemptions until 120 days after it receives applications from companies. Sources at the US embassy in London indicated that no decision had yet been reached, and it was unlikely that news would emerge for some time.
Last week 20 countries that are affected by the tariffs, including the 15 EU nations, China, Japan, South Korea, Switzerland and Norway, accused the US of being a 'serial abuser of free trade' and demanded that it drop the tariffs.
A British government source said: 'We can't pre-empt what is going to happen.' But Hewitt 'is confident that the companies have made a strong enough case to get an exemption'.

When I moved to Los Angeles in 2001, I drove a 1982 Diesel Mercedes and used a gazetteer, also known as a paper map. Going to new places was stressful. I kept getting turned around. Even when I could borrow my friend’s computer and print out my MapQuest directions, it was still a struggle.
Living life without any sense of your own values is like driving around a new city without navigation. You’re unguided. Adrift on I-405.
Your values are your guide
Outside of driving, values are your personal Global Positioning System. Your North-star. Your emotional lighthouse. In the same spirit of WWJD (What would Jesus do?) you ask yourself, would I do were I to act in accordance to my values?
Your values define what is your personal best self
When you know what you value, you can make decisions confidently. You aren’t tortured with doubt or second guessing yourself about everything from friendships to a dinner menu.
One of the issues with love addiction is the tendency to get pulled into the worlds of other people, and more specifically their drama. Identifying or rediscovering your values helps greatly in this arena. If you can remember that you actually value, for example, truth, respect, and harmony you can be honest with yourself, respect your own boundaries and steer yourself attention towards something more nourishing and productive for yourself.
How do you ID your values?
Your values are in you. They might be laying flat at the moment, but by taking a moment to pause and reflect, go for a walk or write on paper they should pop up for you. Ask yourself what you really care about. What do you really want? What makes life interesting? What’s meaningful for you?
If you hit a wall while trying to conjure up abstract concepts, try looking at a list of values. Scan the page up and down. See which ones call out to you.
I recommend chunking
Choose 10 values that really resonate with you. Then narrow that list to 5, then 3. I’m big into leaving sticky notes for myself, so I keep a list of my top three stuck to the bottom of my computer monitor, which currently are:
focus, respect, confidence
Keep reminding yourself of what you REALLY value
It’s in the reviewing and living them where you are able to maintain living by your values. Your values are always there, but sometimes, like Mt. Kilimanjaro, they go dormant. Examples include: compulsively checking your phone, comparing yourself to anyone else and fighting feeling a feeling -to name just a few, garden variety, unfortunate habits.
You need some kind of vision for yourself.
It doesn’t matter if it’s a 5-year plan or a 5-minute one, the key is to keep moving forward –in a way that is satisfying for you– and is in line with your values. But we all get distracted or pulled off course, daily, even hourly. So we need to regularly check in with ourselves.
These check-ins range from sitting down and writing out a vision for the next 3 months to taking 3 deep breaths (in through the nose and out the mouth). If you are in active recovery, I highly recommend frequent, small moments of self-refection. It’s actually critical to releasing addiction because a day filled with unacknowledged, tiny stressors add up to one big: headache, emotional outburst, scarfing of raspberry croissants or hitting up that person you know is bad for you.
You really can be there for yourself.
Where do your values come from?
Well…when two people really love each other, they get together and do a Google search for yet another a list of values (or scroll down to the bottom of this article). And then, they dutifully write them down in a moleskin diary with a fine point pen.
OK, really, your values come from your soul…or something like that. If you have no clue what your values are then good news, by finding them and then living by them, you are going to be much more productive and even…happy.
Not living your values feels bad
Bad in a way that you may not be able to describe. It just feels false. It’s like you’re living a lie, and you don’t even know why. But once you get re-acquainted with your values it’s like having some water released from your inner-ear canal, and you can hear SO MUCH better, suddenly.
When I was in my tragic relationship (which wasn’t working for me, but I couldn’t find the courage to leave) I wasn’t living my values. Concepts like self-respect, honesty, and friendship were nowhere to be seen.
Unfortunately, my brain was too scrambled to grasp the point of clarifying my values. I kept hoping and wishing that things would just improve on their own somehow –without me having to do anything.
But all this attention on values seems empty and absurdly abstract.
If focusing on values seems like a pointless, corporate team building exercise to you, I get it. Whenever I hear CEOs or politicians mention their values, my eyes roll. They are just spraying words at us like a skunk releases stink to confuse their prey. Values are just for the brochure and campaign speeches, with no connection to how they actually act in the world.
My emphasis on values is strictly for you and you alone.
It’s a conversation to have with yourself about what you truly care about, and then figuring out how to actualize that in your daily life. You don’t need to impress anyone with your values. You just need to impress upon yourself the importance of your own purpose and values.
The better acquainted you are with yourself, the better you can navigate your time with other humans.
If you invite me to go on a multi-day trip of camping and hiking in the sun, I know without any hesitation that, that’s a big NO for me. I don’t have to “get back to you,” or ask you a bunch of questions in which I’m basically asking you to glamp instead. Nor will I waste your time telling you I need to “think about it.” I know I would HATE it! And I know that if I went to try to please you, I would do the opposite because I would be a direct-sun fearing slug.
When you don’t know who you are, you are putting pressure on the people around you.
They are left guessing what would work for you, and/or they have to accommodate your moodiness once you finally get real about what you don’t like. No fun for anyone.
When you are clear about your values –what you prioritize– you can stand for something. You have a running start at having a meaningful life. You know where, on what and with whom to spend your time. Not only that, but you know what to do for a living and what color throw pillows to buy.
Key for love addicts:
Knowing your values makes you much better at maintaining your boundaries.
If you get with someone that needs you to pay their bills, you can say “no” without falling into a guilt spiral because you know that you value honesty. Since you cannot honestly say that paying that person’s bills WON’T cause a resentment, you can stick to your guns. You aren’t a target for mind molding/ gas-lighting.
- Values are your personal North-star. They give you direction in life.
- Knowing what you value helps you keep from over extending yourself and stay on track with your own dreams and goals
- You know your values via self-reflection. You can sit quietly and make a list or look them up online.
- I recommend picking 10 values that truly resonate with you and then selecting 5 and then from those pick 3.
- To keep your values in the forefront of your attention, review them at least once a month.
- Your values are as much a part of you as your heart or liver. They are an expression of what makes life worth living for you.
- When you ignore your values, you suffer. Life gets needlessly hard, like walking up the down escalator.
- Talking about values can sound so empty and pointless. But that’s because corporate culture and politicians abuse the concept to manipulate consumers/voters.
- When you know your values, you are happier and more pleasant to be around.
- Knowing your values helps you maintain your boundaries, which helps you stay calm and sane.
Thread your way down the freeways of life by relying on your values. It makes for a much smoother ride.
45 Core Values
I recommend glancing over the table below. Select 10 values that reflect your own driving force. Then reduce that list to 5 and then reduce it further to 3 key values you want to keep in the forefront of your mind.

The Northern Territory government has unveiled plans to put up a new marine industry park to serve various commercial and civil organisations near Darwin.
The 100-hectare facility will have ship repair and servicing capability. Among the planned equipment will be a 103- by 26-metre ship lift with a 5,000-tonne capacity, making it the largest lift of its kind in use in northern Australia.
The total project cost is estimated to be $400 million. Once completed, the Darwin Marine Industry Park will be capable of providing logistical and maintenance support for vessels from a wide range of organisations including fishing companies, ferry operators, oil and gas companies, the Border Force, and the Department of Defence.
Published since 1978, Ausmarine is the foremost magazine servicing the Australian and New Zealand commercial, military and government marine sectors.

Bitcoin on Thursday rose to nearly $42,000 after the wild ride of the past day saw the world’s largest cryptocurrency tank 30% Wednesday to three-month lows near $30,000. That represented an over 50% decline from last month’s all-time high of almost $65,000. At Wednesday’s lows, the digital coin went to basically breakeven for 2021. However, it was still up more than 200% in the past 12 months. During Wednesday afternoon trading, bitcoin rebounded before pulling back later in the day and overnight.
4. Virgin Galactic jumps after next spaceflight test set for Saturday
Virgin Galactic’s spacecraft Unity fires its rocket engine and heads to space on Feb. 22, 2019.
Shares of Virgin Galactic jumped nearly 24% in Thursday’s premarket after the space tourism firm said it’s targeting Saturday for its next spaceflight test. The company made the announcement following the completion of a maintenance review of its carrier aircraft that had threatened delays. Virgin Galactic is aiming to begin commercial service in 2022. Ahead of the premarket surge, the stock was off 27% this year and down 65% in the past three months. It saw a major leg down last week after Cathie Wood’s Ark Invest revealed her firm’s space exploration ETF had sold almost all of its Virgin Galactic stake.

“Today’s hearing on Planned Parenthood before the House of Representatives Oversight Committee is another callous, calculated tactic designed to mislead the public and undermine women’s access to comprehensive reproductive health care, including abortion services. With the federal budget deadline looming, extremists are once again demonstrating that their priority is furthering an anti-woman agenda, not governing, not what the public wants, and not what is best for the country.
Anti-abortion extremists in Congress continue to willfully mislead the nation about the critical health care services Planned Parenthood provides, despite evidence showing that voters support this trusted health care provider. Millions of women rely on Planned Parenthood for high-quality preventive care, including birth control, potentially life-saving screenings for cancer, and screenings and treatment for sexually transmitted infections.
Attacks on Planned Parenthood are attacks on women’s health. Lawmakers must stop wasting time on mean-spirited and grossly irresponsible distractions like this hearing and focus on passing a budget that will ensure every woman and every family can access high-quality health care and achieve economic security.”


The Best Womens Holster - The Story Of The Design Concept
At Ultimate Holsters, we set out to design the best women's holster ever.
It's no secret that the firearms industry has not done a great job delivering products for female shooters. We wanted to be different. It was important for Ultimate Holsters to really deliver not just a better product, but a more intelligently designed holster that addresses real concerns from real women that carry a firearm on a daily basis.
How did we create the best womens holster ever?
1. Secure Designed That Would NOT Require A Belt
2. All-Day Comfort
3. Built-In Ride Height Adjustment
4. Adjustable Gun Retention
The Solution: The Cloud Tuck Belt-Less
By using a unique clip design that is adjustable for different fabrics, the holster allows for secure attachment to any fabric from skirts or yoga pants to basketball shorts. This liberating design means that you CAN CARRY IN THE CLOTHING YOU WANT!

Haikuists (213-633-7380) will take your party favors to the next level! Your event will be the talk of the town for a long time with their custom haikus.
Why settle for mediocre thank-you gifts when you can send your guests home with personalized party favors created on the spot? Haikuists' personalized, on-demand typewriter poetry can be adjusted to any event, big or small. They set up their table and typewriters, and your guests can drop by at any point during the party to get their personalized haiku done.
Visit https://haikuists.com to find out more about Haikuists.
Haikuists provide an interactive party keepsake option that has an upscale vibe but is much more memorable than a mini bottle of champagne in a fancy paper bag.
During the event, Haikuists will write the poems in under two minutes, based on whatever topic your guests choose. They can be serious or profound, or they can be comedic. The whole experience gives your guests a way to unplug and get to know each other.
Haiku is a traditional form of Japanese poetry. Haikuists explain that its beauty and uniqueness come from the fact that haiku only have three lines and need to follow a particular pattern of syllables. The first and third lines can only have five syllables, while the second line must have seven.
Traditionally, haiku need to use certain words to indicate emotion and seasonality. This type of poetry is associated with nature, so it was required for writers to use a keyword that would hint at the season it was written for - frogs and lotus for summer, for example. However, as haiku evolved through the ages, poets began to write poems in free verse, maintaining only the basic 5-7-5 syllable rule. Haikuists embrace this more liberated view of the ancient poetry form and subgenre.
The experience and the haikus make the event more memorable. Guests have reported still having their haikus from years ago, and many of them even got their poems tattooed. Each haiku is printed on card stock, with your logo on the back, so the guests will remember the event for years to come.
“We were thrilled to have the Haikuists and the event was a success. We will definitely be in touch for future events,” a satisfied customer said.

Your Mayon, Your Way By Oriental Costumes
Mayon is the first event and the start of a traditional South Asian wedding. There are many colours and styles people wear at the Mayon, including the Dulhan – the Bride. But traditionally the colour worn in Mayon is yellow.
This tradition continues but instead of just wearing yellow; bride, her friends, her cousins, people invited mix yellow with other colours, patterns, and embroideries.
In the world of brands and designers, people buy elaborate, intricate, and extravagant suits for the Mayon. So in this world of ornate and rich Mayon outfits try something different and be different.
Instead of buying a lavish outfit designed by someone else, be your own designer, be simple, be unique, and be your own creation at your own or a friend’s or a sister’s or a cousin’s Mayon. Be the person everyone will be at awe with.
Wondering how? Oriental Costumes can help you with that.
Follow these easy steps:
1. Pick a type of clothing you want to wear, as in, do you want to wear a lehnga or a gharara – these two are more traditional outfits for the mayon.
2. Pick the colour of your lehnga or gharara – yellow, green, blue, purple, red, pink, or multicolour.
3. Pick the material of the lehnga/gharara – banarasi material is usually the best for this.
4. Now pick the material and colour for your kameez (top) and dupatta (veil) – preferably in a different colour than the lehnga/gharara.
5. Then select the colour of gota or any other more traditional work to adorn your outfit with it – Gota is more traditional choice.
6. Last but not least get it stitched and tailored to your liking and be the talk of the Mayon party.
Our models are showcasing these beautiful, simple, and elegant creations of Oriental Costumes this week. We provide you with all the materials, ideas, tips, and colours to make your Mayon masterpiece.
To see these beautiful pieces visit us at 3180 Ridgeway Drive, Units 39 & 40, Mississauga, ON or visit our website: www.oriental-costumes.com

CHARLOTTE — The way Crisis Assistance Ministry in Charlotte helps people with rent and utilities may look different these days, but their mission is still the same.
“We’ve gone from stopping hotel evictions to now our traditional rent and utility service,” said CEO Carol Hardison.
>> Have questions about the coronavirus pandemic and its impact on the Carolinas? We have an entire section dedicated to coverage of the outbreak -- CLICK HERE FOR MORE.
When COVID-19 first rocked the region, the ministry committed $700,000 to keep families in their motels during our stay-at-home order. Now, as the state inches toward being more reopened, Crisis Assitance is bracing for its new normal.
Hardison is concerned there will be a backlog of overdue rent and utility bills when the halt on evictions expires on June 1. She’s urging people to start applying for help now.
There are 1,800 eviction cases already filed in Mecklenburg County court, and that number continues to climb.
Workers at Crisis Assistance are ramping up their efforts in order to help, but in the age of coronavirus, the agency isn’t opening its doors. Instead, they’ve transitioned to online and drive-thru applications, added more staff and moved people from across the agency to help with the requests to ensure they meet the need.
They’ve also added another workday through the end of June.
“We’ve added Saturday right now because of the unprecedented need in our community,” Hardison said.
>> We’ll bring you LIVE updates on Channel 9 Eyewitness News. Get extended coverage on the free WSOC Now app on Roku, Amazon Fire and Apple TV.
Crisis Assistance is prepared to help upwards of 300 people per day thanks to more than $1 million in special federal funding, but that expires at the end of June.
“We have the staff, we have the preparation, and we have the tools in place,” Hardison told Channel 9. “Help is there, and it won’t take long at all.”
Crisis Assistance has also added a phone bank. Once an application is submitted, a team member will contact the applicant to confirm it has been received.

- Lessons from the most experienced SUP (Stand-up Paddleboarding) teacher in Shikoku, who also happens to speak English!
- All equipment supplied, rental protective swimwear (shoes, wetsuits) also available
- Close enough to Kochi City, take the train instead of renting a car
This 4-hour SUP activity by one of Shikoku’s most experienced teachers, guiding you in either English or Japanese, will get you standing up with confidence. Once you’re up, you will set off on an adventure drifting down one of the most scenic and cleanest rivers in Japan. Looking down, you will see fish and rocks that appear in crystal clear relief.
If you are looking for a longer, in-depth exploration adventure of Shikoku, we recommend our 4-day Ohenro self-drive tour.
As determined by Japan’s Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport, and Tourism for five years running, the cleanest river in Japan is Kochi Prefecture’s Niyodo River. Famed for its cobalt blue color upstream, the river flows 124 pristine kilometers from Kochi’s northern mountain range to the sea. Our SUP supplier is fully licenced to operate on this scenic river, and runs both Beginner and Experienced tours.
Your host and teacher is one of the most experienced SUP teachers in Shikoku. Hiromichi “Rangi” Sasaki has been in the watersports business for more than 23 years. He originally trained and served as a lifeguard in New Zealand (hence his nickname) then returned to Japan to bring his love of watersports to the nation. The result is this wonderful SUP activity operating on the Niyodo.
In this activity, you will learn to use a SUP board, paddling techniques, how to read river conditions, and of course enjoy a down-river paddling experience. You can be an absolute beginner, and Rangi will have you standing by the end of the lesson – or lying down on the board watching the clouds in the sky as you drift downstream. Of course, if your party is more experienced (perhaps you have surfed or skateboarded before) then Rangi will tailor your experience to give you a lot more time on the river, absorbing the visual beauty of the Ino-cho area of the river.

Some blog posts flow more easily than others. This one has been so difficult, full of starts and stops, delete delete delete.
I guess I’m just searching for that perfect way to tell you about this book. So that I can convince you to read it. I’m not doing a very good job now am I?
Maybe I should just let the book speak for itself.
“The singer is lying on the floor, a gray blanket pulled up around his chest. With slightly narrowed eyes, he stares at the ceiling. A single lizard is up there, clinging to the plaster.”
And so we meet Teza. He is a political prisoner in the “teak coffin” or solitary of a prison outside Rangoon. There is an air vent, high up on one wall, too high for Teza to look out. The rest is brick wall and the door. He has been in prison for nearly seven years, and he has thirteen more to go.
“From solitary, the whole cage is a foreign country to him. He lives on the very edge of it, straining to hear voices.”
Teza is forbidden to write or receive letters. And his only regular contact is Sein Yun the palm-reader, a fellow prisoner who works in the prison serving food and emptying latrine pails to reduce his sentence. Teza has nothing to do but stare at the walls and wait for his meals. He watches the ants that meander around his cell, watches the copper-pot spider in its web near the vent, and talks to himself. And there is also his “cheroot ceremony”.
He hoards his cheroots, not to smoke them, but to unwrap them and read the fragments from the newspapers that they are made from. It is an image that stays with me long after I’ve finished the book. This desperation for words, for any hint of news from the outside world, even when these are words that don’t even make a sentence. He thinks of his mother who would read these news articles. For him these words, these fragments are so precious.
“The words are runes. Each piece of paper has a story, whether a sad romance from the literary section or a boring government announcement or a funeral notice. Whispering under his breath, Teza fills in the missing text.”
“In his mind, the cheroot-makers are beautiful, goodhearted, with pale swirls of thanakha paste smeared, powderlike, on their cheeks. If they knew they were making cheroots for him, they would find a way to put Dostoyevsky into the filter, The Brothers Karamazov, Tolstoy’s War and Peace, a great time by Pablo Neruda, and Gone with the Wind, a book he’s wanted to read ever since he saw a photograph if Vivien Leigh in an ancient Time magazine. They would fill their cheroots with popular Burmese novels and bowls of curry. They would send wreaths of the sweetest jasmine to him, sticks of incense and squares of gold foil for worship. They are fine young women. Teza ceases to be angry with the blank newsprint. He thinks of girls’ hands, working.”
Teza is in prison because of his songs of freedom, songs of protest that have echoed throughout Burma, songs written by a 25-year-old university student who could not comprehend what twenty years in solitary meant.
Though it is illegal to publish Teza’s name, he remains the most celebrated singer in Burma. In secret. The Press Scrutiny Board censors even oblique references to music or art, or anything at all, if it believes the allusion is connected to Teza. Chit Naing suspects that this prohibition just makes the singer more famous. It’s the same with Daw Suu Kyi: there’s a nationwide ban on her name too, but rather than make people forget about her, the SLORC has turned her into a legend.”
As if solitary were not enough, Teza is tormented by junior jailer Handsome who tortures him, teases him, and seems to take the utmost pleasure in doing so.
Tess’s previous jailer Chit Naing had been friendlier, and even visits him. Teza’s other friend is Little Brother, a 12-year-old orphan who has grown up inside the prison walls. He works in the cage for food and cheroots, and catches rats to sell to the prisoners. While he isn’t a prisoner, he has never really experienced life outside the cage before and is honestly terrified of the big wide world and all its uncertainties awaiting him.
“The boy can’t forget and tries not to remember his own story. Not-forgetting not-remembering is the best way to live in the cage.”
The two of them are thrown together when the most contraband of items – a pen – goes missing.
Although most of the story takes place within the walls of the cage, Connelly’s novel is so vivid and evocative, resonating with the sounds and smells of Burma, through Teza’s memories and the daily motions of this harsh prison life.
The Lizard Cage was such a moving, compelling read. It is serious and intense (sometimes too intense – I was clenching my fists when Teza was brutally beaten up) but it has such wonderful sweet moments. It is a reminder that our freedom (to walk around, to read, to eat whatever we’d like, to sing and listen to music, to believe…) is precious.
I read this book for my personal challenge: Reading Southeast Asia in August.
Karen Connelly is the author of nine books of best-selling nonfiction, fiction, and poetry, the most recent being Burmese Lessons, a love story, a memoir about her experiences in Burma and on the Thai-Burma border. She has won the Pat Lowther Award for her poetry, the Governor General’s Award for her non-fiction, and Britain’s Orange Broadband Prize for New Fiction for her first novelThe Lizard Cage. Published in 2005, The Lizard Cage was compared in the New York Times Book Review to the works of Orwell, Solzhenitsyn, and Mandela, and hailed in the Globe and Mail as “one of the best modern Canadian novels.” Her latest book, Burmese Lessons, was nominated for a Governor General’s Award and British Columbia National Award for Canadian Nonfiction in 2009.

Wait — aren’t your customers sophisticated grown-ups? Why should you even consider a cartoon video? Is animation still in? (Yes — but more on that later.)
A cartoon video transcends reality. It pulls us away from the scary real world and into a magical place where problems are solved by robots, bears, and other cute stuff you’ll never admit to liking in front of your friends.

Cartoons cross boundaries. Almost every culture in the world has cartoons in one form or another, and they are palatable to all ages. Cartoon characters generally have no specific nationality, race, or age, and some of them don’t even have a gender. They can appeal to anyone.
Cartoons are trustworthy. Cartoons are inherently friendly and innocent, so we’re much more likely to suspend our disbelief and take what they’re saying or doing at face value. We’re not thinking “he’s just saying that because he’s getting paid to say it” as we do when we see an actor in a television commercial. Quite simply, we trust cartoon characters more than we would a real person.
Cartoons are disarming. Cartoons are inherently humorous so they can be used to soften sensitive subject matters or to liven up dull topics. That’s why most newspapers have editorial cartoonists. How often do you find that the newspaper cartoonist is saying something outrageous that no-one else in the paper is able to say (despite it being what everyone is thinking)?
Cartoons communicate. You can convey information more quickly with something visual, and cartoons, by their nature, are highly simplified versions of the real world. Cartoons, then, can convey more information in a short time than just about any other medium.
Ready to make a real head-turner of a video? Before you start creating, here are a few tips to help your creation shine.
Give your cartoon video a leg-up by sticking to a few golden principles.

Amy0914 Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 My mother's biopsy came back positive for small cell lung cancer. She is due to for an adrenal biopsy this week in addition to a brain MRI followed up with a meeting with radiologist and cancer treatment team. I've researched at length the therapies they will most likely provide her depending if it's limited or extensive. My mother is a young 64, an avid pickleball play and hydrorower. She quit smoking and drinking 5 years ago and is in the best shape of her life. Learning of the biopsy results has stunned our family (it was her worst fear as her dad and brother- both heavy smokers up until diagnosis passed away from small cancer too). She is a mover and a shaker and ready to kick this cancer's you know what and I'm researching best diets for this type of cancer and also legit supplements that she can add into her care that will help her remain healthy and fight this. Does anyone have any recommendations? Thank you so much & take care. -Amy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know..you think I got the phrase wrong. It’s supposed to be Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. But with all due respect to our Founding Fathers—I’d like to change it.
Not that happiness isn’t a wonderful thing to work towards, but it isn’t sufficient for us in the 21st century. Written in the 18th century, the pursuit of Happiness made sense because lives were very tough back then. A little bit of happiness looked like a pretty good outcome for all the hard work of a life that had the liberty to pursue happiness. Let’s keep in mind though, back then, millions had no liberty and their pursuit of happiness didn’t even get a chance. So, while our democracy of the 18th century was a far step from say the 15th century where most everyone was under the thumb of a small ruling class it still had a long way to go. Our democracy of the 18th century it did not have a vision for what we expect in the 21st century—women’s rights, civil rights, gay rights, etc. So when they wrote, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, it was the right line for its time.
Over the last two centuries, much has changed, though yes, lots more still needs changing. One big thing that has changed just in the last fifty years or so is the awareness that human beings are physical, emotional, thinking, sexual and spiritual beings. This is the framework for wholeness and provides a new template for building vibrant and dynamic lives.
Definition for Happiness: the state of being happy. “she struggled to find happiness in her life“ ; pleasure, contentment, satisfaction, cheerfulness, merriment, gaiety, joy, joyfulness, joviality, jollity, glee, delight, good spirits, lightheartedness, well-being, enjoyment, exuberance, exhilarations, elation, ecstasy, jubilation, rapture, bliss, blissfulness, euphoria…..
You can see, based on this definition of happiness it has very little to do with wholeness. Again—everything in the definition of happiness is wonderful but it is contains only a small portion of what we would factor in for wholeness. All wholeness has happiness in it, but not all happiness has wholeness in it. And it is time we moved to wholeness. It reflects eons of human development, with self-awareness and consciousness becoming ever-more visible. Limiting ourselves to the pursuit of happiness doesn’t make sense anymore. Let’s pursue wholeness and end up with far more dynamic lives, stronger relationships, deeper community with others and a world that can see that life, liberty and the pursuit of wholeness makes more sense for us all.
Here at Triangle Whole, Well & Good, we’re all about helping you on your path to wholeness!
