Metropolitan Kallistos Ware, one of the most prolific writers and prominent Orthodox theologians of our times, sat down with TNH in Boston.
BOSTON, MA – Metropolitan Kallistos Ware is one of the most prolific writers and prominent Orthodox theologians of our times.
Worship, the mystical tradition and especially the prayer attracted him, so six years later he formally converted to Orthodoxy. Since then, he has become the preeminent voice of Orthodoxy in the West.
TNH: What are some of the most pressing challenges the Orthodox Church faces today?
KW: One challenge is the situation of the Orthodox in the Western World. We are divided into so many different jurisdictions; we have many Orthodox Bishops in the same city. If we could be more closely united with one another, we would have a far greater influence.
TNH: Obviously, you are talking about the problem of Diaspora. According to your estimation what is the most practical way to resolve this problem?
KW: If I had a simple and clear answer to that question, then you could immediately make me Patriarch of the West. I don’t think that there is at this moment a complete solution. But the first step forward is to develop in each country Episcopal Assemblies gathering together all the Orthodox Bishops in that country – and this is already happening. Of course, in many countries, inter-Orthodox Conferences had existed in the past, in America you’ve had SCOBA since 1960. These Episcopal Assemblies need to be develop, need to be given greater authority, and this is, I think, the best thing that we could do at the moment.
TNH: Don’t you think that we should make the differentiation between Synaxis (Assemblies) and Synod?
KW: Yes, at the moment we have inter-Orthodox Assemblies (Synaxis) but they have not yet become, in a canonical sense, Synod, and so we must work towards that.
TNH: Regarding the ministry of women in the Church, do you think it is practical to go back to the ancient tradition of the Church of the Deaconesses?
KW: I certainly would welcome the revival of the Order of Deaconesses, it was never officially abolished. Their main function in the early Church was to help at the baptism of adult women converts, and when adult baptism ceased they tended to disappear. But if we revive that Order today, we could give them new and different functions. They can help in teaching the work of the Church. They could be appointed to preach homilies in Church.
TNH: May we speak of the ordination of Deaconesses, since their ordination took place in the Altar during the Eucharist.
THN: I think we need to study the whole question of Deaconesses closely because they were not regarded necessarily the same way everywhere in the early Church. Yes, in some places in Christian East they received an ordination very similar to that of the Deacon, and in that sense we could regard the Deaconesses as ordained. In the West, on the other hand, I think they were not so regarded; they were not considered ordained. So, what is needed in the Orthodox Church today is a more thorough discussion of the meaning of the ministry of Deaconesses and how we are to understand that role is not a question of reviving the Order but what we actually would be reviving. We also need to revive the Order of Deacon for men because for most men, it is just a step to the priesthood. So, I think we need to look at the whole question more thoroughly.
TNH: What happened to the Ecumenical Movement? Is it dead?
KW: I do not think it is dead, but it is tired. On the other hand Christ at the last supper he prayed for the unity of all His disciples and it is undoubtedly Christ’s prayer that we should all be one. So, if we are engaging in discussions for unity, we are acting in obedience to Christ and that doesn’t mean making compromises. We must remain faithful to the fullness of the Orthodox Faith, but we should be ready to share that faith with others and not only to tell them what we believe but to listen to them and try to understand their own problems and hopes. I regard work for unity as a necessity for us Orthodox today.
TNH: What attracted you to Orthodoxy?
KW: The first thing that attracted me was the worship. That day, at age 17, inside that Russian church in London, I felt that Service spoke to my heart, that this was my true home. I waited six years before I became Orthodox. At that time in England the Orthodox were the old immigrants from Greece and Cyprus and Russia, and the Orthodox clergy usually said “we are not a Church for English people, we are here for Greeks and Russians,” but they eventually accepted me. Church worship is a heaven on earth. I felt in a very strong way from that very first time the unity of the earthly worship the visible congregation with the worship in heaven with the Church of the saints, the angels, the Mother of God Christ Himself. Then, when I learned about the Orthodox faith, I felt the fullness of faith I did not discover in any other Christian Body and I was particularly attracted by the tradition of mystical prayer.
TNH: Your Eminence, what is death?
KW: Death in a visible sense is the separation of body and soul and this is something contrary to God’s intention. It is the result of the fall, and so as Christians we look beyond death to the resurrection of the dead at the last day. In this way, death should be seen not as an end but as a beginning. Death is the start of a richer and fuller life with Christ.
TNH: Are you afraid of death?
KW: Of course I am afraid of death. Because it is only human to be afraid of death, and we understand so little about death. We are afraid of the unknown, and I am afraid of death because I know I am a sinful person and not yet ready to come into the presence of Christ. But I also look toward death with hope. I believe that our fellowship with Christ after this life will continue in richer and fuller form.
TNH: What is hell and what is heaven?
KW: When we speak of punishment in the end is not God who punishes us, we punish ourselves. We are created in the image of God; we find our joy and our human fulfilment in loving God and loving our fellow humans. But God doesn’t force us. If we refuse the love of God then we shall make ourselves deeply unhappy. When we speak of hell, this means the refusal of God carried to the outmost limit. But it is not God who puts us in hell, we put ourselves there by refusing to love God. Heaven – paradise – is to love God.

Optionally add additional details such as warrany code, status text, detailed descritive text of the item, or important notes.
As service progresses, add notes regarding service performed with date stamp ability. Update codes or status indicators with simple definable pop-up choices (these can for example be used later to call up service orders that are waiting for parts, or waiting for customer pickup or similar).
If parts are requried for service, add them easily by clicking to the item entry tab and add line items with full quantity, description, pricing, etc. You can even add lines detailing hours of labor and charges.

The idea that once a year, a whole month should be dedicated to the history of people of African descent is still met with enthusiasm in most instances and more recently with slight resistance.
Dr Olivette Otele is Reader in History at Bath Spa University.
Numerous are individuals and institutions that argue that Black History Month should be part of series of events celebrating diversity in October. In other words, Black History Month should include events aimed at promoting tolerance in all forms. Other detractors have noted that a month was not enough to celebrate the rich history and achievements of African and Afro Caribbean communities. They argued that Black History Month marginalised the experiences of these communities. Although understandable to some extent, these points reflect a troubling trend that ends up invalidating the contribution of people of African descend at a national, regional and community level.
Black History Month is not simply about remembering the past and black contribution to the present. It is about reminding various communities in Britain that people of African descent are making daily contributions. They are indeed continuously building this kingdom in various ways, thus shaping our future as a nation. In order to address the changing face of Britain whereby xenophobia and nostalgia about the so called “good old days” of Empire co-exist with a thriving, strong and beautifully inclusive nation, Black History Month needs to focus on three major points.
Firstly, we need to keep on celebrating Black history and encouraging Black excellence because that is one of the many ways to build a confident society that will keep on promoting social justice. Secondly, Black History Month needs to address the question of ‘Otherness’ and the fear that stems from the fallacious notion that the majority community’s identity and legacies are under threat. One of the many ways to address that issue is to promote stories of communities’ collaborations. These stories are also crucial for children of multiple identities as well as for people from the majority group. That is one of the reasons why I decided to write the book Afro-Europeans: a short history (Hurst, 2018). There are many cross-communities’ histories still left to be told. One of my favourite stories is the role of American philosopher of Chinese descent Grace Lee Boggs during the Civil Rights Movements. 2017 Britain is of course far away from 1960s USA but the fight against discriminations continues in Britain. These stories also allow us to explore Blackness as a political stance. It means understanding why talking about the history of people of African descent shows what can be achieved when we bring talents and dedication from various groups together. The third point is related to education. Britain suffers from a lack of Black teachers and lecturers of history in schools and in higher education. Teaching history is still very much seen as a White middle class career path. As Patrick Vernon and many others have demonstrated, history is a very popular subject in primary and secondary school and there is a sizeable number of self taught and trained historians of African descent in Britain. What are cruelly lacking are opportunities to share the skills in schools as teachers, in Higher education as academics and in other public bodies. Teaching history is perceived in many communities as a ‘private hunting preserve’ especially in higher education.
Black History Month has done a laudable work in promoting and teaching the country about Black History. We now need to double our efforts in providing young people of African descent with opportunities to take ownership of that history and to teach it. We know that a decent teacher is one that constantly learns from her/his students so we must find ways at community, school and university levels to provide these young people of African descent with tools to sharpen their skills as educators in history. It implies more funded training schemes for future historians not only in schools and universities but also in museums, libraries and other public bodies. Current apprenticeship schemes can be further enhanced in arts and humanities as part of cultural industries. The V&A Museum Education manager Janet Brown and her team have done an incredible job in rendering the history of African heritage accessible. Many other institutions in the country including the Black Cultural Archives in London have similar programs. Further financial support could help them set up bigger training opportunities for young educators in history.
So, Black History Month is an important time that allows us to challenge our views about the world and ourselves. It is about pausing to re-think our interaction with various groups. It is also a wonderful way to creatively bring people from all walks of life together in order to shape the future of the nation by further investing in our young people.
Dr Olivette Otele is Reader in History at Bath Spa University. She is the recipient of UK and EU research grants about the history and memory of people of African descent. She has appeared on French, Canadian, and British radio and TV programs. She is also the author of numerous articles, book chapters and volumes including Afro-Europeans: a short history (2018) Does Discrimination Shape Identity? Identity Politics and Minorities in the English-Speaking World and in France: Rhetoric and Reality (2011) and Histoire de l’esclavage britannique: des origines de la traite transatlantique aux premises de la colonisation (2008).

IOWA CITY, Iowa – Iowa basketball coach Fran McCaffery is an easy target right now.
He just lost 5-star point guard and Bettendorf native D.J. Carton, who announced on Sunday that he will choose between Michigan, Indiana and Ohio State.
McCaffery’s team also lost 19 games last season, including 14 in conference play, which ties for the most in program history.
And his son, Connor McCaffery, is about to play a significant role as a redshirt freshman guard this coming season.
Mix all of that together and you have a delicate situation that causes some fans to over-react in the wake of adversity.
That has been apparent since Carton eliminated the Hawkeyes.
Some have used it as a chance to say that Iowa should consider moving on from Fran McCaffery, or at least make it known that his seat is extremely warm.
I’ve had plenty of feedback saying that, but I strongly disagree with the narrative because McCaffery’s body of work has earned him more time to coach without carrying the burden of possibly losing his job.
Last season was a disaster that nobody saw coming. You learn from it and move on.
Should this coming season be a repeat of last season, then yes, McCaffery would be on the hot seat, or even worse, and even he probably would admit it.
But for now, last season appears to be an outlier or a fluke based on what happened in the previous seven seasons under McCaffery.
Iowa has played in a postseason tournament in six of the eight seasons under McCaffery, including three appearances in the NCAA Tournament, and has won at least 20 games in four seasons under McCaffery.
McCaffery’s accomplishments weren’t enough to entice Carton to be a Hawkeye, but they are enough to buy him more time.
It shouldn’t even be a topic at this point. I’m only addressing it because of the reaction to Carton’s decision.
Iowa certainly has problems on the court that need fixed in a hurry.
McCaffery’s team performed woefully on defense last season and had some games where the players didn’t bring much fight.
Iowa also has failed to make the NCAA Tournament in each of the past two seasons after having made it for three seasons in a row.
The program is without question trending in the wrong direction, but it isn’t to the point where McCaffery’s job should be in jeopardy.
It is easy to forget nearly a decade later that the Iowa program was in shambles when McCaffery replaced Todd Lickliter in 2010.
Three consecutive losing seasons and a disturbing number of player defections under Lickliter had gutted the Iowa program.
McCaffery faced a major rebuilding job, and up until last season, he mostly had met the challenge.
It also is easy to forget in the wake of Carton eliminating Iowa that incoming freshman and Muscatine native Joe Wieskamp could have easily been a major recruit with multiple scholarship offers, much like Carton, but Wieskamp committed early to the Hawkeyes.
Fran McCaffery deserves much of the credit for signing Wieskamp, especially if you insist on blaming him for losing Carton.
It also is worth noting that Carton has only lived in Iowa for three years, so he wasn't necessarily born and raised to be a Hawkeye. His grandfather played basketball for Iowa, but that was in the 1950s and a lot has changed since then.
Iowa hasn’t achieved elite status under McCaffery, but rarely has Iowa been elite in men’s basketball.
That isn’t an excuse for McCaffery, just a fact.
McCaffery does have an unusual, and a potentially awkward situation, with his son on the team, and some believe that Carton didn’t want to deal with the family dynamic at Iowa, especially with 6-foot-5 Connor McCaffery also being a guard.
That could be true, but I don’t believe it.
Connor McCaffery is a pass-first guard who could’ve easily played in the same backcourt with the 6-2 Carton.
And it’s ridiculous, and unfair, to think that Fran McCaffery would have held Carton back in order to benefit his son. Fran McCaffery has too much integrity to play games like that.
Iowa’s performance last season probably had more to do with Carton eliminating the Hawkeyes than anything else.
Fran McCaffery deserves blame for that and will be under some pressure to steer the ship back in the right direction this coming season.
But there is a difference between being under pressure and being on the hot seat, especially when you factor in McCaffery's recent contract extension.
Fran McCaffery has accomplished too much to be on the hot seat at this stage, and that shouldn’t change based on the decision of one recruit.

The world of video game emulation has always been a bit, well, shady. As far as much of the gaming industry is concerned, unlicensed emulation is little more than piracy. Yet, despite numerous legal challenges over the years, the emulation scene has largely managed to flourish above ground.
Sadly, with 1980’s nostalgia and retrogaming very much in vogue, things may be about to change. Back in July, Nintendo started throwing its legal weight around again and filed huge lawsuits against two ROM sites, namely LoveRETRO and LoveROMs. Both sites hosted large collections of vintage games, including many Nintendo titles from the NES and SNES consoles. Both sites have now been taken offline.
We have decided to make a new start. We will continue to be passionate retro gamers and will keep doing cool stuff around retro games. But you won’t be able to get your games from here for now.
Nintendo’s bully boy antics once again raises that inconvenient question: how legal is it to emulate classic games? Well, the question has two main facets to it: the emulator app being used, and the game or piece of software you’re wanting to emulate.
Legally, emulation programmes seem to fall under the terms of fair use. So, as long the emulator doesn’t reuse any code from the system it’s attempting to mimic, and any reimplemented code is purely the product of reverse engineering, all is good.
We know this from when Sony went after the makers of two commercially-available emulators for the PS1 nearly two decades ago. Luckily, Sony lost. However, unlicensed emulators still remain something of a legal grey area that could be challenged again in court.
So, for example, Dolphin can successfully emulate the GameCube and Wii consoles without using any of Nintendo’s code.
In contrast, the PS2 emulator PCSX2 and the Amiga UAE emulators require a copy of the original system BIOS in order to work. To get one, you’ll need to dump the required file(s) from a PS2 or Amiga that you actually own. Fortunately, for the Amiga, you also have the option of buying the Kickstart ROMs relatively cheaply from copyright holder Cloanto.
Interestingly, the ZX Spectrum and Amstrad CPC computers seem to be among the few systems where the rights holders have given permission for the original BIOS ROMs to be used and distributed freely. Well, at least, that’s according to some possibly dated information over on the World of Spectrum site.
Right, let’s talk about game ROMs, which is the real sticking point when it comes to the legality of emulation. The vast majority of video games are still copyrighted materials, regardless of their age.
Copyright duration may vary from country to country, but it’s generally longer than even the oldest published video games have been around. In the UK, for example, copyright lasts for 70 years after release, while in the United States it’s 95 years from publication or 120 years from creation, whichever is shorter.
Ultimately, sharing or distributing old video games is unlawful without express permission from the rights holder. It doesn’t matter if the game has been around for 30 or 40 years, how little commercial value it now has, or even if it’s now classed as “abandonware”. And, by the way, the term abandonware has no recognition in law.
It’s not all bad news though. If you actually own a legit copy of the game, then ripping that game for use on an emulator is probably legal. As is circumventing any copy protection for said game if the storage medium is now considered to be obsolete. Once again, this another legal grey area that comes under the terms of fair use, being able to make a backup copy of something you own, and the preservation of old software.
It’s worth noting that, despite what many people think, possessing a legit copy of a game does not entitle you to download an illegally-hosted ROM from the internet. The same goes for downloading a BIOS ROM if you own the corresponding hardware.
However, there are some games that have been handed over to the public domain or made freeware by their creators. A good example of that would be Beneath A Steel Sky, a classic point-and-click adventure from 1994. Copyright holders Revolution Software released the original version of the game as freeware in 2003. Several other early 90s adventure games are now also available as freeware and can be downloaded at no cost from the ScummVM website or the GOG store page.
There are also websites, such as World of Spectrum, AMI Sector One, and Lemon64, who have actively sought and acquired written permission to distribute many or all of the games they host. And there are, no doubt, other examples out there.
The classic, 1994 point-and-click adventure Beneath A Steel Sky running on ScummVM.
So what’s the takeaway from all this? Well, while most emulations apps are technically legal, downloading ROMs from abandonware and torrent sites is generally not. But most retrogamers probably already know or suspect this and simply don’t care. And, I basically count myself among these people.
For me, emulation is the only practical and convenient way I can revisit many of the favourite games from my childhood.
Of course, you can still find old machines and classic games second hand, but they’re becoming increasingly sought after and we’re getting to the point now where retro hardware and media are beginning to degrade and fail. For example, Commodore Amigas can be expensive to acquire and often immediately require costly and time-consuming repairs and modifications. Also, old disks, tapes, cartridges, and CDs aren’t guaranteed to work anymore, even when kept in good condition. And buying old arcade cabinets simply isn’t realistic for most people.
To be fair, there is an increasing number of ways to play classic games legitimately, including licensed mini-consoles and retrogame collections for consoles, PCs, and mobile devices.
But these only cover a tiny fraction of all the titles produced across a range of home computers, consoles, and arcade machines during the 1980s and 1990s. What about the less well-known or more obscure games, or specific versions or ports from less popular or more exotic platforms? Even Nintendo’s own NES and SNES Classic Editions only come with a measly 30 or 21 games on them from a library of hundreds and hundreds.
These official re-releases also often expect premium prices for very old games that are sometimes poorly emulated, lack additional features (e.g. savestates, controller reconfiguration, etc), and are locked into a single platform such as the PS4, Xbox One, or Wii U. More to the point, given how fast the market and technology move on, how long will these versions be available and supported for? How many times will we be expected to keep repurchasing the same ancient games?
There are also complicated licensing issues surrounding many classic games that means it’s unlikely they will ever be re-released. And other rights holders lack either the interest or the wherewithal to make their games available again.
There is a very real danger of many classic games being lost forever. And, while most ROM sites are clearly in violation of copyright laws and a few are even decidedly dodgy, they’re still doing a helluva lot more to protect the legacy and history of our beloved medium than companies like Nintendo, who seem to be actively working against video game preservation – hell, just read the FAQ on their website.

Get Your Child Ready for Nursery School With This Great App!
My neighbor friend Linda runs a small preschool center where she helps 3-4 year old kids prepare for regular school. She starts her teaching during the summer and she always has a handful of cute little boys and girls ready to learn their numbers and alphabet.
I came across this great app in #iTunes called ABC Phonics and Tracing. Developed by Kids Academy, I knew this would be good. I downloaded it and showed it to my friend. We played with the app and found out that it is an interactive program that allows children to use 3 of their 5 senses (sight, hearing and touch) to learn their alphabet and numbers.
The app allows children to learn to read and write by tracing the numbers or letters on the screen. The colors are bright and lively with a catchy background music. What I like most is the words of encouragement and praise at every attempt to complete the task. It will surely make the kids more confident of themselves and take pride in their accomplishment.
We asked Linda's nephew, Gabriel to try the app. His eyes lit up and his smile was priceless! Linda downloaded the app too and she said she will include it in her lesson plan for her summer learners. It is going to be more fun to learn ABCs this year!
Sounds fantastic, I don't have a toddler but I do have nephews in that range and with this app I could keep my sanity on family gatherings!
Yeah great app for toddlers and a great help for teachers and parents. It's a fun-learning experience for kids!
nowadays, it's very helpful for kids to learn educational applications as soon as possible while having fun too.
How cool! Children are really lucky these days with the availability of these gadgets. It's doing an excellent job in stimulating their brains and thus learn heaps quicker.
Sounds like a great app. It's great that you can use your finger to trace the letter and give praises.
I downloaded this app. My daughter loves it! She's been using it since last week.
my daughter has a similar app like this, and she's loving it!
Ah, the wonder of modern tech. Now learning is fun and easy for nursery kids.
This is great! I'll pass it on to my grandson--thanks for sharing!
there is so much apps like this actually but some dont have that good graphic image. Might tried this in my daughters tab.
My nephew could use it. For a 2-year-old boy, he's very techy.
I love these kind of apps which helps toddlers and kids learn faster, easier and the fun way.
Nice app! Fun and learning at the same time.

I am originally from Wenatchee, Washington, the apple capital of the world. I completed a Bachelor of Science in biology at Lewis-Clark State College, where I also ran cross-country and track. I attended Dartmouth Medical School in New Hampshire and completed my internal medicine residency in the primary care track at the University of Colorado.
I work as an internist. I enjoy meeting my patients and learning about them. I respect my patients as partners in maintaining their health. My goal is to provide the most appropriate care for my patients, so they aren’t spending extra time or money to get the care they deserve. I work as a team with our specialists, pharmacists and others to coordinate my patients’ care. I am glad to have the tools and resources of Kaiser Permanente at my fingertips to provide my patients with care tailored to their individual needs. My professional interests include quality improvement and advance directives.
I have always enjoyed running for my physical and mental health. Music is another big part of my life, including playing piano, going to concerts and the occasional karaoke night.

New Orleans is one of the cities I have called home. I was partly educated there, I worked as a social worker in its French Quarter, I became a professional musician singing on the city’s stages (and sometimes on its streets). Later, I returned as a consultant to the region’s bi-partisan business leadership, and helped them develop a strategy for vision and action for sustainable development. The implementation of that strategy (2001-2005) was starting to work — until Katrina hit.
Mayor Landrieu’s speech has rightly been lifted up by Bruni and others as a timely landmark. For me, as someone who has lived in and loved New Orleans, and for a time attempted to serve the city as a “change agent” (I’ve written about this experience in my books), this speech also puts on display an inspiring example of true change leadership in action. Landrieu has held the vision, but he has also led a large, participatory process — city council, judicial system, public hearings, all of it. This success in overcoming one of the most reactionary pockets of resistance to progress in modern America (how does one honestly defend monuments to the champions of slavery?) is an inspiring case study worthy of continuing study, and support.
In these sometimes discouraging times, we need examples like this, to remind us of what true progress looks like. Watch, listen, and rejoice.

The China Pandemic (Graham’s Resolution: Book 1) by A.R. Shaw. 268 pages.
This was a great story. It was also poorly written. There. That about sums up my review.
“What the world dreads most has happened– because of a mutated avian bird flu (H5N1) pandemic. It has ravaged the globe. Only 2% of the population has survived. A dying mother knows that her young child is among the few immune to the virus. What will she do to ensure his survival before her own coming tragic death?
First, the author has shared a great apocalyptic story. A flu-type virus has come from China, killing all but 2% of the population. Those who are left are divided into those who have been exposed and survived, and those who have managed to not be exposed, but remain fearful of such a thing happening.
The book does a good job of staying out of a global view of things. Instead, the first half of the book is spent with individuals meeting and becoming a group, with Graham the leader, and then trying to get out the big city without being killed. I like the real-life dangers, ones that one wouldn’t anticipate. I also liked the fact that the characters were focused on daily needs such as what to eat and where to go to the bathroom. It made it very real. The author also does a good job of helping the reader like each of the characters.
That’s the good news. Even though the Amazon page said it was completely reedited in 2013, I found the editing pretty bad. Punctuation and grammar were a problem throughout. There were formatting problems. In addition there were some plausibility problems. One problem that didn’t have to do with editing was the fact that much of the first chapter or so was spent in exposition: I found myself being told the story rather than living it. The author took a very good idea for a story, but I thought had a hard time delivering it professionally.

Temperatures were warm (low temp for the evening was 50 degrees) and it kept me toasty. I would not recommend this bag for temps cooler then 50 Degrees. This is more of a mid summer camping bag.

Since first appearing in 1991, Civilization has become an instantly classic game, and is considered one of the phenomena of the strategy game genre. Through further developments, although individual features change, but overall, the play of the game still revolves around the player leading a nation to go to the prosperous. In the process, players will have to manage in terms of economic, diplomatic and military. In this new version, the game developers who want the game becomes "closer" than, so several mechanisms in the previous sections, such as religion, espionage, spies will be removed. They argue that this job will make the game easier to understand content, as well as helping players control the complex situation when played better. next change worth mentioning is the limit to the number of troops can stand in a cell on the game screen. With the previous section, players are allowed to create a powerful force and gathered them in a mere box. That there will no longer exist in Civilization V, by the opinion of the designer, the battle should take place at other locations outside the major cities. This factor will make your army when advancing to move in a wider field, the battle becomes higher scale.
In addition, the implementation of this feature also allows gamers have experienced players develop the ability to control his generals soldiers. The most obvious is that you are allowed to take advantage of terrain that the enemy could allelopathy effectively. Archer, ranged combat soldiers could benefit from the world behind the terrain does not pass to attack the enemy, as of the close combat troops will be hard to close them immediately.
The fight just a simple part in the big screens. If not outlined a specific orientation, whether he wins every game when faced with an enemy, players are likely to be lost. Artificial intelligence (AI) of Civilization V would be quite logical expressions. You will encounter unexpected because of the sophisticated tactics that they perform. Every leader in the game show "personality" through their tendency to play. For example, Katherine tries to expand its territory to cities. But the development of these cities will not be compared with the Gandhi because he is more prone to. Queen Elizabeth of England also focuses on the Navy, have widespread influence on the high seas. That does not mean that players can anticipate the AI paths. Firaxis Games has "care" for this very well, so rest assured that you will be challenged with the worthy opponent. Frame when diplomacy is done entirely through 3D images. Characteristics of where each leader appears separate also contribute somewhat to reflect who they are. Gamers will encounter on the river Gandhi, Napoleon in the battle field, while her own office in Bismarck. Effects of light, shadow contribute to increasing the true definition of this great man, though somewhat idealized. Not only that, the statement from them is also very impressive, especially when Caesar said will disperse your troops. Although not really play a role in the genre of turn-based strategy games, images, and sound is still two factors may be attractive as well as making a long term player with a game. If you feel what the images in Civilization IV is nice, you will be covered in the next graphic is by the word "excellent", besides, this terrain will also be clearly distinguished hon.Moi people will have their own unique tracks from their own culture, are fighting as the background music will change appropriately. addition to the features mentioned above, there are still many things Civilization has not been revealed in V. This promises to be a spiritual food is indispensable for the loyal fans of the series in general and Civilization turn-based strategy game in particular.
and it is good to go.

Tomatoes are one of the most staple vegetables on the market today. That’s why some people are considering planting tomatoes in their homes. But for some reason, most of them fail to grow tomatoes in their pots.
What they don’t know is that the soil they use is not the proper soil to use on their potted tomatoes. Tomatoes need proper care to produce the best kind of crop in your pots. That’s why it’s important to know what’s the best potting soil for tomatoes are.
In this article, you will learn the basics of growing potted tomatoes. And what kind of soil is needed to help them grow properly. Even though tomatoes can grow in any type of climate. There are still conditions that need to be fulfilled.
To help you produce the best kind of tomatoes. We’ve organized some facts on how you can properly grow a tomato. And what you need to consider before growing a potted tomato in your home.
The soil of the potted tomato is the important factor that you’ll need to be focused on. Depending on what variety of tomatoes that you’re going to grow in your home. Consider these factors that affect the quality of the soil that you’re going to use.
The first characteristic of a good potting soil is its texture and quality. The preferred quality of soil to grow tomatoes is in a loamy soil. Although tomatoes can grow in almost any kind of soil, loamy soil will yield better results for you.
The type of soil that you need to avoid is that made mostly out of clay. A soil that’s made up of mostly clay doesn’t have enough nutrients for your tomatoes to grow. Another reason is that tomatoes need to be planted on loose soil.
Dry and clay soil isn’t really favorable to potted tomatoes. However, you can still change the properties of the clay soil if you mix in other types of soil. This way, the texture and quality of the potting soil will change according to the needs of the tomato.
Aside from the texture, the pH level of the soil is also important. The acidity level of the soil can be measured by determining its pH level. There are different levels of a soil's acidity and that acidity affects the growth of the plant.
The normal pH of a soil is measured at 7, and more than that is considered dangerous to other plants. Lowering its acidity level is likewise dangerous because of the insufficiency of nutrients. That’s why it’s best to maintain the pH level to 7.
There are other plants that need a higher or lower pH level in their soil. To increase the acidity of the soil you can add lime to the soil. And, if you want to lower its acidity you can add fertilizers or sulfur into the mix.
The richness and fertility of the soil play a major role in the growth of the tomatoes in your pot. With more organic compounds added to the pot the better the plant will grow. Having a rich and fertile soil means that the pH level of the soil is just right.
If the soil is not that fertile you can always add organic fertilizers to balance the nutrition in the soil. These fertilizers can help your tomato grow well in any weather. Just remember to avoid adding too much fertilizer because it can affect the growth of the tomato.
To know the level of fertility of your soil, you can always buy soil test kits. These kits can be bought in your garden shops or malls. These soil test kits can determine the acidity of your soil. The nutrition level and the level of nitrogen in the soil.
Finding potting soil is easy especially at this time. There are 3 specific places where you can buy potting soil. And that is in your local gardening store, the mall, and now online.
The advantages of buying potting soil in your local gardening or hardware store. Is that they can help you choose the type of soil to use. Most gardening stores have knowledgeable staff to assist you in choosing.
The next place that you can buy the soil is in malls. Malls have a variety of stores which would probably have one or two shops that sell potting soil. If your place doesn’t have a local gardening store, then the mall is your go-to place.
And finally, you can now order the best potting soil for tomatoes online. With just a few clicks you can now buy your desired potting soil online. The downside to this, however, is that you can’t actually see or physically inspect the product.
When buying something online. Reading reviews will significantly help you in making your decision. Try to read as much as many reviews online before buying anything. This will help you decide on what to buy because of the feedback of the reviewers.

At All American Carpet & Tile, we treat flooding and water damage as an emergency situation. Technicians can arrive at the home within an hour of contact. Representatives are also available over the phone to assist clients with steps to reduce water damage.
If the flood is caused by plumbing problems, you will need to shut off the water source. This could mean shutting off the water for an entire house or building. You may also need to remove water from the affected area using a bucket.
The major risk associated with water damage is mold growth. In order to reduce the risk of being infected with mold spores, flood maintenance must begin within 48 hours of the incident. Mold spores can settle and grow within five days of contamination from flooding. Mold can grow in carpets, on tile and hardwood flooring, on furniture, even in flooded drywall. Mold can cause allergies and other serious respiratory problems, and in some cases, death.
Another minor risk associated with flooding is damage to the function or quality or carpets, furniture, decor, and other household items due to exposure to moisture.
To prevent molding and other property damage our technicians inspect the flooded area and affected furniture. This may include moisture detection in other areas of the home, office, or building. Next, they extract all of the remaining water using a high-powered vacuum. They also contain dust or any other contaminants that have been knocked loose during the flood. We have carpet and furniture drying services available to those who need it. Mold remediation services are also available.
These both help to dehumidify rooms that have been affected by the flood. The fans keep fresh air circulating to prevent mold from settling on surfaces in the home.
After the flood is contained, the carpet may need to be cleaned. Our step-by-cleaning process includes thorough inspection, treatment of stains, a deep cleaning with debris removal, speed-drying, and a follow-up inspection.
Contact All American Carpet & Tile for more information on our emergency flood services.

I’ve struggled a bit with the proper role of a sitting councilperson when there are competing candidates for an open seat. Support someone when you may end up serving with another candidate, or stay out of the public conversation? I’ve decided that it’s in all of our interests that I share my thoughts.
I’m voting for Mick Ireland. Why Mick? Personally, I believe he’s the right guy at the right time. We’re losing a strong and caring voice in Dwayne Romero, and I trust Mick to fill this void with intelligence, experience, commitment and compassion.
Mick loves this town and the people in it. Lord knows I haven’t always agreed with his philosophy or his decisions, but his heart does not waver, his vision is strong and clear, and he will fight unto the last for what he believes is right for our community. I can’t ask for more than that.
Strangely, I also believe Mick will be an effective team member on this council. The past two years have shown me very clearly the importance of working together toward common goals, and I feel that Mick will be a strong contributor to this adventure going forward. We may even have some fun doing it. Let’s bring Mick on board, roll up our sleeves and get down to work on the issues that matter.

Many view Organizational Change as an indicator of potential problems in the organization. However, this isn’t always necessarily true. In a lot of cases, the change is voluntary and underlines the organization’s willingness to proactively recognize and exploit the potential opportunities latent in the organization or its circumstances. But whether you are always on a lookout for opportunities to improve or are forced by market imperatives to alter your working ways, there will always be situations when you will have to implement a change that you were not prepared for. And when faced with such an Emergency Change situation, many organizations tend to bypass their standard change management process, take whatever actions are required to achieve the immediate objective, and then document whatever is remembered. While this is one way to go about it, such an ad-hoc approach will leave your organization vulnerable to certain audit risks if a key piece of information is left out. Rather than bypass the change management processes in case of an emergency, you should consider institutionalizing a set of guidelines specifically designed for an emergency situation, as there will always be times when you’d need actions sooner than possible as per your standard change management process. Rather than deal with such a situation on a case-by-case basis, it is better to design a process that will expedite the high-priority changes, while still retaining a certain degree of review.
Any change brings with it a shift from the comfortable state of Status Quo, to the uncertain future state, and this is more so with emergency changes. Hence, you must be extra careful when dealing with these type of changes so as to minimize employee resistance and cost to the organization while simultaneously maximizing the effectiveness of the change effort. If you want to limit the risks of an Emergency Change situation to an acceptable level, you must understand that even emergencies must follow a defined process. If you are faced with a Change Management situation, emergency or otherwise, that you think can unlock profound opportunities for your organization but are just not sure where to begin, contact us today. We can help ensure that the change is truly a change for the better!

Identify a belief. This can be a religious belief, an ethical belief, political belief, or any other one about which reasonable minds can disagree. Beliefs that are held by the vast majority of people (such as a widely accepted scientific fact) are not good choices for this assignment). A good topic will have reasonable evidence and reasoning supporting both sides.
Consider other points of view, or counter-arguments. Think about what you find persuasive about these counter-arguments, as well as how you might argue against them. Try to keep an open mind. Remember, we are engaging in philosophical dialogue, not trying to win an argument.
Examine the multiple points-of-view and weigh the evidence. Identify any unsupported assumptions or holes in the argument.
Consider the consequences of the beliefs presented. Philosophical thinking is an ongoing process, so it is important to identify questions for further thinking and to wonder about factors and circumstances that might change your view about a particular question.
Part IIUsing the analysis from Part I, write a 2-page dialogue between Socrates and a person of your choosing (i.e., the Interlocutor) that examines the belief.
Have the Interlocutor present the belief and reasons you identified in step 1 of Part I.
Have Socrates pose questions that encourage the Interlocutor to consider other points-of-view as well as any problems with their argument, drawing upon the multiple points-of-view you identified in steps 2 and 3 of Part I, as well as the potential consequences of a given position as identified in step 4 of Part I.
Make sure your dialogue arrives at a conclusion. Keep in mind that it may be different from the belief or point of view you started with, and could be somewhat open-ended. As you searched for reasons that support your belief or point of view, you may have also come across reasons that challenge your beliefs. Don’t hide from these challenges. Remember, philosophy requires us to examine and even question our beliefs. If you find yourself more persuaded by the other points of view, don’t despair! Unlike a formal debate, the kinds of arguments we make while engaging in philosophical thinking are open to revision.

Google Keep is an app released by Google in 2013 for the purpose of note keeping. The app is pretty easy to use and definitely won me over. Keep is basically a notepad that connects to the Google drive. It also supports photo notes, voice notes and checklists. It is ideal for taking quick notes, especially for a student like me who keeps remembering stuff at random moments.
Travelling, sleeping, procrastinating but suddenly remember some work that you need to do? You could just make a note of it on Google keep and BINGO!! You can check the app and do it later. The number of assignments that Google Keep has reminded me to complete is too damn high. Also, the app has a feature to set reminders which can be snoozed or made repeated.
But the main feature that made me stick to this app is that it is connected to google drive. I can literally access anything that I have written on Keep a few seconds ago on my PC. And if I edit something on my PC then I can view the changes in my mobile as well.
Easy to work on both PC and Phone.
Different notes could be added with different backgrounds. Important notes can be pinned at the top. Its ability to make checklists makes it another great app. All those shopping items, to-do chores stored at one place. Sharing the notes is also pretty easy with Google Keep.
The layout of Google keep is also pretty interesting and helps in easy yet prominent viewing of the notes. There are two ways we can view the notes-horizontally or in column mode. Different notes can be stored in different labels which makes storing notes easier and more organised.
Google Keeep provides better organisation.
Even though in the beginning you could not create bullet points with Keep but now you can do so by just using the asterisk(*) or addition(+) symbol in the beginning. The following lines would automatically begin with the same.
Location based reminders, doodling notes and OCR functionality (grab text from images). Makes it one of my most used apps.
Even after using Evernote I shifted back to Keep since it is pretty easy and just requires your google account. It looks good and definitely does the work it was designed for. Even though there is going to be a fear about when the app itself may see the sunset, after Google shut down the Google Read app. But for now, it is a very useful app that acts as my saviour time and again.

The best thing about the month of love in the Southern Hemisphere is the fact that it falls in one of the warmest months of the year. And if you are lucky enough to have booked your flights to George on the Garden Route, one of the most beautiful areas of the country, you won’t have to pay exorbitantly hiked prices in over-crowded restaurants because the pick of the very best picnic sites are right on your doorstep.
So, grab a basket and a blanket and head to the forest for a romantic day for two.
If you’re looking for beauty and privacy then Krisjan-se-Nek, also known as Circles in a Forest, is one of the lesser known areas but a no less perfect place for romance.
The Knysna Forest, was a big inspiration for the stories of South African novelist DaleneMatthee and if you’re a couple that hikes or bikes together, the picnic area has a DaleneMatthee ‘Big Tree’ that marks the start of a 3km or 5km walk. It trails along the banks of the Forest Creek along an old mining path. There are swimming holes along the way and lovely little streams too, making it a perfect romantic activity, enjoying nature and each other’s company.
The beauty of nature is priceless making the cost of R17 per person for entry (free for Wildcard holders) a mere pittance, leaving you plenty of budget for a romantic feast. You can pick up a permit at the boom.
Jubilee Creek is slightly more popular, but that’s because there is little to match its exquisite beauty.
You’ll find this picnic spot deep in the valley and surrounded by forest trees, next to a pretty stream. Sound romantic enough? There are lots of picnic sites dotted around next to the stream in amongst the forest trees. Take a short detour just before the bridge on the left-hand side of the road, and you will find an extension to this site with a gorgeous picnic area in the Lush Knysna Indigenous Forest.
You can also follow the mining trails from Jubilee Creek which take you to a cool, natural swimming area with lots of incredible areas to explore along the way, including old tunnels and long-abandoned mine-shafts. The Jubilee Creek Walk which is around 2km, will take you to the waterfall.
So, with so much to do here, along with your partner, take a picnic and an adventurous spirit! It costs less than R20 per person. Pay at the boom a few kilometres before the entrance.
If you’re a fan of historical romance or the worlds of J.R.R. Tolkien, then head off to picnic at The Woodville Big Tree.
The ‘Big Tree’ is an Outeniqua Yellowwood Tree (Podocarpusfalcatus) in the region of about 850 years old. This magnificent, magical tree has a 12-metre circumference and majestic height of 33 metres.
There is an incredible short circular hike you can do that takes about 45 minutes that starts at the tree and extends through the magical forest for about 2kms before finishing back at the old Yellowwood Tree again. The trail is clearly marked and takes you over and along several streams and past picnic site. The walkways are also child and wheelchair friendly.
This is great spot if you want to do something romantic, but your budget is tight, as entrance to the area is free.
If these sound like an ideal romantic date for you and your partner but you’re nowhere near the George area, you can always book cheap flights to George for a romantic getaway to explore The Wilderness.
With the entrance fees minimal and the picnic budget under control, you will be saved from having to choose which one to go to, because you can just visit all three.

In 1953 Sri Krishna Gana Sabha came into being under the stewardship of Sri Maharajapuram Santhanam with his illustrious father, Sri Maharajapuram Vishwanatha Iyer, as Founder-President. At the beginning, it was housed in the open-air theatre of The Hindi Prachar Sabha, T.Nagar and thereafter for sometime at Thakkar Baba Vidyalaya. In the year 1957, the Sabha came to reside in the vacant plot , adjacent to the Nalli Cloth Stores, on Nageswara Rao Road .
In 1956-57, Sri R. Yagnaraman, having been connected with the Sabha from its inception as a Committee Member and Joint Secretary, took over as General Secretary; It was during his Secretaryship in 1961, that the 3–year old thatched “kottagai” arrangement adjacent to Nalli Shop grew to a semi-permanent structure, at Griffith Road (now known as Maharajapuram Santhanam Salai), on a leased 10 ground plot with an accommodation of 900 chairs. Mrs. Prema Hariharan rendered the invocation song at the time of Bhoomi Puja of this renovation.
In 2001, the Sabha was renovated, through the stellar efforts of Sri R Yagnaraman and the munificent contributions of Dr Nalli Kuppuswami Chetty especially, and those of various organizations as well as the general public. The renovation involved retaining the existing structure, dias and building around it to give a classical Chettinad / Tanjore architectural flavor. The auditorium was renamed as “Dr Nalli Gana Vihar” in recognition of Dr Nalli's contributions to the effort. The air-conditioning of the auditorium was undertaken in 2004 completing the renovation in its entirety.

Driving drunk has a high probability of causing an accident or property damage. In 2017, the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) reported that there were 23,760 DUI-related crashes. A DWI with property damage could land you with expensive fines, incarceration and even a possible civil case.

What is Restitution in Texas?
Blood-alcohol concentration is the number of grams of alcohol in a breath, blood or urine sample. Law enforcement uses chemical testing to determine if your BAC is over the legal limit or not. If you’re a commercial driver, then your legal limit will be lowered to .04 BAC. Underaged drivers have an extremely low legal limit of .02 BAC.
You don’t have effective consent from the owner.
It’s important to remember a DWI with property damage can result in a civil case. Some alleged victim will seek compensation if they’re injured from the accident. This means you could be saddled with a criminal trial and a civil case.
In addition, the court may order you to pay restitution alongside your penalties. The restitution costs will go toward the victim’s injuries or vehicular repairs.
Since property damage is involved in your DWI, it’s likely the judge will order you to pay restitution costs. These payments are towards the victim, so they can repair their property. You could also find yourself with a personal injury case if your DWI accidentally harmed someone.
Restitution is when the court orders the defendant to compensate the victim because they suffered from financial losses. It’s common for judges to impose restitution on DWI cases involving property damage.
Any additional expenses that occurred because of your DWI.

What is Restitution? – Visit a document provided by the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Business and Finance Division to learn more about restitution.

Prepare for STEM and Biology lessons.
Gather all supplies needed for the lessons.
Does anyone else have To Do lists like this? Does anyone else have days that feel scattered and full like this? I hope the answer is ‘Yes’, because this is how every day of my life looks. Usually this is fine (actually more than fine, great!), but every once in a while I get stuck.
I get caught up in the busyness of life. I get caught up in the To Do lists, and I start to care more about getting those check marks done ( because I said I would do them) instead of slowing down and making sure that my personal health and relationships are taken care of first.
Every once in a while it’s like I look up from my To Do list and realize that I haven’t checked in with everyone in my life. Where did the time go? I haven’t called my mom or dad or anyone in weeks!
It’s at this point in time that I usually get frustrated with myself. Frustrated that I haven’t been prioritizing the important things (health and relationships).
It’s in these moments that I realize that I can’t do it all well. It’s in these moments that I need to take a second look at that list and decide what HAS to get done, and what HAS to get done NOW. Usually almost everything can wait.
Because it’s more important that I do my relationships well. Always.
It’s time I start to add intentional time for my relationships on my To Do list. I need to block out sections of time for friends and family (oh, and me!)!
So this Saturday I’m going to give myself a little grace. I’m leaving my To Do list behind, and I’m going to spend quality time with my best friend exploring little towns in Georgia. It’s time we actually go somewhere instead of catching up behind the screens of our computers. It’s time we actually look at each other and find out how the other is really doing. Relationships matter more than my cluttered planner full of To Dos, and they always will. I think this is the best way to start my Saturday.
Who are you spending time with today? If your plate is full, at least take a few moments to look up and spend time with some of your favorite people.

What is the EPMO as an enabler event all about?
This promises to be a highly engaging and interactive session, led by a fantastic and engaging presenter: Mansoor Mohammed.
The session is based on a case study. During the evening, Mansoor will explore the path to establishing an Enabling Enterprise Portfolio Office (EPMO, or possibly EEPMO or even E2PMO!). The example used is based on an engineering defense organization, but the lessons can be applied widely.
The case study will depart from the traditional view of setting up a PMO where putting processes in place is a primary focus. Instead the evening will explore how the EPMO team influenced mindsets within the senior leadership team - transforming an autocratic culture into something more democratic.
During the evening you will get the opportunity to explore how the DISC personality test can be used by the EPMO to think about behavior and personality types, understand why EPMOs need to be aware of behavioral systems and understand how EPMOs can foster innovation.

Unseasonal rains in the past two months has hit mango production and caused at least a 30 percent loss to mango growers in the State, according to Hopcoms officials.
Horticulture department officials say that around 1,600 hectares of mango plantation has been affected due to hailstorm this year and over 4,000 hectares have been affected due to drought. Mango and the jackfruit growers, through their societies, sold nearly 700 metric tonne of mangoes worth Rs 269 lakh and 57 metric tonne of jackfruit worth Rs five lakh in the previous year. This year, the mango production will not cross the 500 metric tonne mark, experts predict.
Inaugurating the Mango and Jackfruit Mela here on Friday, P R Palangappa, administrator, Hopcoms, said despite loss in mango yield this year due to the unseasonal rainfall, there has been more yield. Moreover many varieties are yet to arrive in the market.
Meanwhile, S H Keshav, general manager (administration), Hopcoms (Horticultural Producers’ Co-operative Marketing and Processing Society), said early varieties such as Alphonso (Badami) and Sindhuri have suffered some loss.
“Even during the flowering season in November, there was heavy wind and rains which made flowers to fall and now at the time of harvest, there has been hailstorm, which has affected the early mango variety. However late varieties like Mallika, Neelam and Baiganpalli are not affected and are yet to arrive in the market,” he added.
Hopcoms earned Rs 2.65 crore last year from mango sales. However, this year, it expects at least Rs 60 lakh less business. Also, Hopcoms is selling every variety for at least Rs 10 to Rs 15 more per kg to meet targets.
Keshav said the mangoes that are sold in Hopcoms do not have ethanol or carbide in them (the chemicals that are used to ripen the mangoes).
“Despite producing from the farmers directly and selling them, not much is exported as we do not have quarantine measures to meet the international standard guidelines of the percentage of pesticides and residual content in the mangoes. The government is doing its best to support farmers,” he added.
Mangoes in Karnataka are mainly grown in Chikkaballapur, Ramanagara, Kolar, Bangalore Urban and Rural district, which are already reeling under severe drought.
The mango growers in these districts are using drip irrigation for water the plantation.
Jackfruit, on the other hand has not been affected due to rains and this year Hopcoms is targeting to sell around 200 metric tonnes.

We believe 100 Poems and Passions in Poetry are among the more interactive web sites on the Internet. Poetry, after all, should not be a passive art form. It should come alive for you, and provoke - or even demand - a response.
At the same time, however, we are very much aware of the privacy issues that concern many people on the Internet. There are studies indicating that the longer a person is on the Internet, and the more they learn about its infrastructure, the more likely they are to trust in its security. That shouldn't be too surprising. It's just another way of saying what we all already know: Trust must be earned.
Your privacy is important to us. We know that your email address is a private thing, and when you use it on our web site we realize you are entrusting us with a private thing. We want you to know we will never violate that trust. Your email address, and those of your friends should you choose to send them poems, will never be used to send you advertising. We will never - and I mean never - give or sell your address to anyone else. We want to earn your trust.
Poetry is about communication. So, too, is email. Our goal is to make 100 Poems and Passions in Poetry as interactive as possible, to build a community of people that write and love poetry as we do. The only way we can reach that goal is with your support. And, of course, with your trust.
Submitting a Poem When you submit a poem to Passions in Poetry, we ask for your email address. Each poet, however, is given the opportunity to "hide" the address if they desire (though we encourage them to participate in email discussions with their fans). At no time will their address be given out if they don't wish it.
Private Email If you send Private email to a poet, obviously your address will go to them as well (so they can answer you, of course). Obviously, we have no control over the poets, but we would be very surprised to discover any of them would ever violate your trust. If you have a complaint about a poet, please let us know. Of course, if you send Private email to our web site (and please do so!), we will also receive your email address. We read and answer every letter we get, and both your letter and email address is stored in our database for future reference. But (need we say it?), neither your letter nor your email address will ever be given out to any other parties.
Sending a Poem to a Friend When you send a favorite poem and note to a friend, we ask for both your email address and your friend's. Obviously, we need the latter so we can send them the poem. We ask for your address only so we can include it with the poem and your friend can easily respond. Neither of the addresses, not yours nor your friends, is ever stored on our system. Not only will those addresses never be given to any other party, but we don't even save them beyond the few seconds it takes to send the poem.
Our Newsletters and Notifications When you subscribe to a newsletter or ask to be notified when the web site is updated, your email address is stored in our off-line database with the same safeguards employed throughout our system. We will never, at any time, sell or otherwise make available our list of subscribers to any other party.

Sunny Side Up Yoga is a 4 week virtual mini series, focusing on how to bring optimism into your life and practice. Join me on your phone or computer on Facebook Live for 4 Tuesdays in a row (January 24th - February 14th). I'll be recording a free live yoga practice from 8:30am - 9:00am and posting a corresponding blog post here. If you miss the live showing, the replay is available to you anytime!
I hope you'll join me live, where you can interact directly and ask questions. Mark your calendars and join me here on the 24th!
Yoga science teaches that thoughts are things. Because they are energy, our thoughts vibrate at specific frequencies which are either healing or challenging for our body and mind. Just as our thoughts can cause chronic pain or disease, they can also cause chronic joy and optimism.
Our body reacts to every thought we have in very tangible ways. Our body is literally a metaphor. Once you can shift to this mindset and realize the importance and power of thought, you can begin to be more intentional about what you're allowing in and out of your mind.
Iyengar teaches that feelings move through the body moment to moment. But when they become attached to thought, they become stuck emotions. These emotions will manifest in very specific areas of the body. For instance: tight shoulders usually indicate feelings of 'carrying the weight of the world on our shoulders,' whereas feeling unsupported usually manifests in tight hips.
Our subconscious mind is extremely powerful and it uses our body as a vehicle to seek attention from the conscious mind.
So the key to creating the types of thoughts that lead to optimism lies within the subconscious. In the book "Think & Grow Rich," Napoleon Hill writes about the science of auto-suggestion which is the hypnotic or subconscious adoption of an idea that one has originated oneself. Basically, through repetition of verbal statements, you can literally trick your subconscious into changing a lifetime worth of unconscious reactions, thoughts or behavior.
So why don't we all use autosuggestion? Because it's not a quick fix and most of us don't have the patience to keep at it. Autosuggestion happens when we create a powerful affirmation and truly dedicate the time to dive into it, study it, read it, memorize it and repeat it with emotion. Every day. Multiple times per day. Eventually, if we stick with it, it sticks with us and it's life-altering.
Next week, we'll talk more about autosuggestion as well as how to create your own affirmation. I hope you'll join me live, where you can interact directly and ask questions. Mark your calendars and join me here on Tuesday the 31st at 8:30am!

Supermarket chain Carrefour plans to open a store at the Sarit Centre mall in April 2018. It will occupy the space vacated by Uchumi Supermarkets.
The store location, i.e. on the ground floor of Sarit Centre, will apparently be temporary the supermarket chain plans to move its operations to the new wing of Sarit Centre which will be open by the end of the year.
Carrefour opened its first store in Kenya in 2016 at The Hub in Karen. It has since opened three more stores at Two Rivers Mall, Thika Road Mall and The Junction with advanced plans to open at TRM.
Carrefour is operated by Majid Al Futtaim, a shopping mall, communities, retail and leisure company that operates in the Middle East, Africa and Asia. Majid Al Futtaim owns and operates 22 shopping malls, 12 hotels and three mixed-use communities.
