Almost every year for the whole month of December I’m either cooking up treats, eating the treats (or doing them both at the same time hehe) or attending christmas parties and enjoying the celebration of Christmas, with food. A whole lotta food.
But with this comes a loss of focus on training and diet and as a result a few kilos pile on. Which is completely okay because food is good and nothing in the world is better than food and family (am i right?), but the struggle to get back on the band wagon once Christmas is over is very real!
So this year one of my goals is to try and stay focused and on point with my training and eating AS CLOSE to Christmas as I can.. and then relax and enjoy every single mouthful of food on Christmas day without guilt, and appreciate and honour the food baby which may come my way.
Christmas is my favourite time of year so there is NO CHANCE its not going to have indulgence (healthy, indulgence) and yours should too.
Below are some healthy tips to keep the weight off, eat healthy and still enjoy the indulgence!
Have a healthy snack or breakfast before you head to the party instead of starving yourself prior to save your appetite for the treats, this way you won’t overeat.
Count your canapés, set yourself a limit and stick to it.
Be picky! Choose only the treats that you feel are worth the calories and omit the cheap and nasty junk. E.g. Skip the candy canes and chips so you can feel better about having that slice of sticky date pudding.
Avoid sauce, chutney, gravy, jelly, cream and relish, as these often contain high amounts of sugar and/or fat. Or if you’re supplying the meat, attempt to make your own sauce!
If you have a craving then go with it. You’re more likely to be able to control yourself if you have that piece of chocolate cake now rather than ignoring it because a few drinks later you might just devour six! But remember – portion sizes!
Limit your alcohol consumption and fill up on water or infused water between drinks. For every alcoholic drink have two glasses of water.
Choose better quality alcoholic beverages and ones that contain less calories such as vodka, dark ale and organic red wine.
Serve your drinks in tall thin glasses, as short wide ones encourage more frequent top ups and quicker drinking.
Mocktails made with fresh fruit are a great alternative to alcohol and sugar laden cocktails. You won’t have to put up with the constant questions as to why you’re not drinking.
Offer to be the designated driver so you can avoid the temptation to drink alcohol.
Don’t indulge the whole holiday period, pick your events carefully and have a break between Christmas and New Year.
When your not spoiling yourself at the parties and dinners, be extra health conscious and stick to salads, seafood, water and extra exercise so that you can keep it balanced.
When you know you have a big event coming up be extra diligent and committed to exercising so you can combat the extra calories.
A good distraction from overeating is getting absorbed in conversation!
Always pick the smallest plate so you don’t feel compelled to fill up a large one.
If a friend or family member is throwing a party ask if you can bring a plate so that you can take the opportunity to make a delicious, nutritious salad or dessert. That way, you know that there is a nice healthy option you can eat if there is only heavier options at the party.
If you do a lot of cooking over the holidays, then try to avoid taste testing too often. Because by the time you're done you’ll be full but you may feel obliged to finish your plate anyway.
When hosting your own event, serve the meals from the kitchen and not at the table, when the ham and baked potatoes are right in front of you... it’s far more likely you’ll go for seconds or thirds.
Grab some disposable Tupperware for guests so that you can fill them up at the end of the day so you don’t have leftover pudding sitting in the fridge tempting you.
If you don’t have seconds on any other day of the year then don’t make an exception today, you’re not missing out.
Why not start a new family tradition and go for a big walk Christmas morning before you start getting ready for the day!
Smile. Have fun. Keep portion sizes in mind.
Happy preparations! And don’t forget to have fun and ENJOY your little treat, you deserve it!
Everyday millions of people make decisions to eat better, exercise more and start their journey to healthy weight loss. But many of them cannot stop eating or maintain a healthy weight. This is because our attitude can determine success in any challenge, including weight loss. If we want to get our body in better shape, we may want to start with our mind.
But what is the role of psychology in managing weight? “I really feel it is the missing piece of the puzzle for success with weight management especially when we’re talking about long term success. Good weight management psychology not only complements but informs the other elements: nutrition and movement”, according to Glenn Mackintosh, Australia’s leading weight management psychologist.
I have heard this statement countless of times from many people who want to lose weight; they’ve tried everything from diet plans, diet pills, instant weight loss programs but they can’t seem to lose that extra body weight. There might be some psychological factors that influence weight loss?
“There are so many, and with rates of weight regain being so high, people really need to ensure most of them are in good order, so they can maintain healthy habits long-term. Let’s start with what I call the ‘Big Three’. The dieting mentality is the first. The paradox is that the more we focus on weight, the worse it becomes. The second is emotional eating. It’s really important to learn new ways to deal with uncomfortable emotions for lasting results. Thirdly, body-image issues actually make weight worse, so it’s better to learn to love the skin you’re in, and care for yourself from a more accepting space. The ‘Big Three’ work in a trio, all making each other worse, but the good news is that, as they are all related, improving one area often gives flow on benefits in the others, said Mr Mackintosh.
So, before you embark on your quest to lose weight, you may want to consider a few healthy weight loss and dieting tips from the Principal Psychologist at Weight Management Psychology (WMP).
“Well, the first one would be… don’t actually focus on weight loss! While almost every person wants to lose weight, the more we focus on it, the worse it becomes. At WMP, we help people broaden their goals by setting four important outcomes – for most people, weight is one of them, but by also setting goals for fitness, medical health, psychological wellbeing, and general life, it can help de-emphasise weight, which actually leads to better results. Secondly, enlist some support. I tell clients that weight management is a team sport! The challenge is so complex and multi-factorial, that you’ll often need the partners, the parents, the progeny, and the whole range of health professionals on your side. And don’t be afraid to add the psych into your team – a great health psychologist won’t be a weirdo peering over their spectacles while you lie on the couch, and may just be the missing piece to your puzzle! Thirdly, you can get some great psychological benefits without having to book in with the psychologist.
and counting where we all share support, conversations, and a few light-hearted laughs, and we’re just about to start our Six Days of Success campaign over Facebook https://www.facebook.com/weightmanagementpsychology/, with wonderful posts Monday – Saturday to help you improve your mindset.
People who want a bit more can register for our newsletter on the website www.weightmanagementpsychology.com.au, which includes my blog “52 Thoughts for The Chronic Dieter” and our new “Thursday Therapy” – with is my new weekly video blog which should be a lot of fun!"
Job, family, household, poor nutrition, 24-hour accessibility, lack of sleep – all these push people to their limits. Burnout and other stress related diseases could be the result.
For this reason, more and more health conscious and discerning people are looking for an opportunity to escape this vicious cycle as early as possible. Their dream is to use the best time of the year to stay active and healthy. To make that dream a reality, there are a selection of worldwide Healing Hotels and they are all offering more than “just wellness”.
Guests spending their vacation in Healing Hotels, are not only expecting a simple “pat-massage or beauty treatment” - physical renewal and holistic well-being are the main focus of their stay, which means “they bring their bodies to the service!” A special environment, a holistic spa and health concept as well as a personal care of qualified life coaches, doctors and naturopaths are characterizing Healing Hotels. The goal is to help their guests implementing a holistic lifestyle-change. Coaching them to live in long-term self-responsibility can decrease stress, enhance vitality and increase energy.
Their lifestyle coaching is specialized in Ayurveda, yoga, Reiki, detox, weight loss, stress management, TCM treatments and spiritual and emotional practices, such as meditation. Massages, foot reflexology and body treatments are also included.
My today´s tip for stressed out and tired bodies is the Kamalaya Wellness Sanctuary and Holistic Spa, Koh Samui island, Thailand. Marina and John Stewart Founder of Kamalaya have created this 5-Star-Paradise nestled in a spectacular nature.

Hayfever: Is Antihistimine the answer?
So, I may be biting off more than I can chew for my first article, but with the season being Spring, and many people I know needlessly suffering from dreaded hayfever, I thought it a good topic to begin with.
Hayfever, or allergic rhinitis is an allergic reaction triggered by pollen, dust and other similar inhaled allergens. Whilst most of us look forward to Spring and the bountiful coloured flowers emerging from under the ground... many run screaming, in frantic search of their hayfever medication. While taking an antihistamine can provide you with some relief, we can instead use hayfever signs and symptoms as an acknowledgement that your body isn't in a state of balance, and rectify the situation so that you know longer have to fear the dreaded daffodil.
How do we do this I hear you ask? By focusing on modulating your immune and adrenal systems, your body is better able to cope with the rush of pollen coming into spring. As many of us know the body is an integrated system, when one system is out of whack, all can be affected. It should be no surprise then, that the immune system plays a pivotal role in maintaining homoeostasis (balance) within the body. When we are stressed, tired or run down, our immune system is compromised. What we are often unaware of, is that when such things occur in our body, on a chemical level sends messages to other parts of the body to react in certain ways, to either stimulate or suppress changes from occurring.
While there is always a small amount of histamine circulating through your body at any given time, when you inhale an allergen such as pollen, proteins within the body are stimulated to create a response to increase histamine within the body and to destroy the foreign object (Duqedu, 2015). When pollen appears in the nose, blood vessels swell up, the nose gets blocked and fluid leaks out. These then become the signs and symptoms of hayfever. This is the body's way of of attempting to expel the pollen, and is part of the body’s natural immune and inflammatory response.
This response however, can become a tiring and bothersome problem, when someone is sensitive to a particular allergen such as pollen, and continuously feels under attack. Rather than focusing on the fact that our body is releasing a large number of histamine, something that plays a vital role in allergic reactions, stimulating digestion and regulating sleep, we should be focusing on why some bodies overreact to allergens (Dedequ, 2015).
One of the reasons the body can over react to allergens, is due to an under active adrenal cortex. When the body is under stress, be it physical, mental or emotional, the adrenal cortex secretes a hormone called cortisol (Heuther. S & McCance. K, 2012). Cortisol has an anti-inflammatory and anti-histamine effect, it reduces inflammation and histamine reactions within the body (Michael, 2015). If your adrenal function is sluggish it may not be able to manufacture enough cortisol to meet demands of the body and adapt successfully to stresses, including hayfever.
So, how can we break this cycle? While using over the counter antihistamines such as dimenhydrate (Dramamine) and diphehydramine (Benadryl) reduce the histamine response, you are still not dealing with the underlying factor that is your weakened adrenal system. Focus must be placed on reducing stress within the body to reduce your cortisol production. Many people consider stress to be only that of 'having a lot on your plate.' Stress can result from environmental, emotional or biological stressors, and may be occurring without you even realising it. So take note of this when addressing conditions of low immunity, for stress plays a key role in lowering your immune system.
There is a list of nourishing herbs which can be used to help enhance your adrenal system. These herbs are known as adaptogens and nervines. Adaptogens are herbs that increase the body's resistance or adaptation to physical, environmental, emotional or biological stressors (Bone, 2007). Herbs with this action include Licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra), Rhodiola (Rhodiola rosea), Astragalus (Astragalus membranaceus), and Siberian Ginseng (Eleureroccus senticosus) to name a few.
Nervine herbs are herbs that nourish, soothe, and restore the nervous system and alleviates nervous irritability (Weed, 1989). Herbs with this action include Lemon Balm (Meslissa officinalis), Passionflower (Passiflora incarta), Oats (Aveena sativa) and Skullcap (Skutellaria lateriflora) (Bone, 2007).
So what is the best way to access the goodness of these herbs and treat your hayfever? Believe it or not, through the feet! I recently attended a seminar lead by Dr Sandi Rogers, who taught us that the feet contain over 250,000 sweat glands (Living truth yoga, 2015), and because of this, it is a great way to uptake nutrients into the body.
To keep the cost of this treatment low, I have chosen two herbs from the list above, Licorice and Skullcap. Licorice root has the actions of anti-inflammatory, adrenal tonic, and mucoprotective, making it a great addition to the treatment of hayfever (Bone, 2007). Skullcap, my second herb of choice is not only a nervine but also an antihistamine, relaxant of the nervous system, and helps to calm the mind (Micheal, 2015).
Other focuses for the treatment of hayfever include reducing stress levels, through yoga, meditation and relaxation. This is part of the reason I chose a foot bath as the treatment. By taking the time to soak your feet, you are reconnecting with the needs of your body... you are stopping for a brief moment in time. This is the perfect treatment for a body that is stressed and overworked. So stop, relax and unwind... allow your body to reintegrate and become whole again!

coping with it all, while others are falling in a heap or flying off the handle at the slightest bit of pressure?
is created by our perception.
can be changed with a change in mindset, therefore there is no such thing as stress, only a perception of stress.
your well-meaning friend says “just RELAX, stop stressing” it makes you feel a whole lot better doesn’t it?? NOT!!
There are some holes in the “There is no such thing as stress” theory.
so they lack the buffer from situations that will cause a stress response.
short our cortisol levels contribute to our perception of stressful situations.
perceptions because they have elevated stress hormones keeping them on edge.
guys, if you don't want to have a gripey, cranky baby make sure you look after your lady when she is pregnant!
Cortisol imbalance is also associated with the occurrence of eczema and asthma in babies.
stress response under control is kinda important!
herbs are classed as adaptogens- meaning that they assist your body to adapt to physical and emotional stress.

herbs and nutrition that I have mentioned or you may like to make an appointment to see me.
I was standing in the fruit and vegetable aisle, trying to decide between two very nice looking aubergines, when a lady came up to me and asked if I knew anything about coeliac disease. I am familiar with this type of food intolerance but the question surprised me as it came out of nowhere: in a supermarket? She must have noticed the surprised look on my face because she immediately apologised and explained she was recently diagnosed with the disease and had left her gluten-free food list at home. I asked her, how she knew I was in the health and nutrition business and she replied, 'I don't know, I just had the feeling that you were.' Wow, I thought she must have ESP! Anyway, we talked about her intolerance at length (still standing in the supermarket aisle) and I found out that one of her daughters inherited her hypersensitivity to gluten. This prompted a very interesting subject for me: the relationship between genetics and nutrition.
and President of Nutrigenetics Unlimited, Inc. whose academic background includes BS/MS degrees in Food Science and Nutrition from Chapman University, in Orange, California. He has worked for more than 35 years in nutrition and food related industries in California, including Plus Products (Irvine), the Wm. T. Thompson Co. (Carson), and for the Nutrilite Division of Alticor (Buena Park) where he served as Senior Research Scientist in Nutrilite's R&D New Concepts Group. Ron is also one of many founding members of the Institute of Nutrigenetics/Nutrigenomics (ISNN).
I asked him if he could impart his knowledge and expertise to understand the relationship between nutrition and genetics and he agreed to be interviewed.
Sofia: Ron, what is the relationship between genetics and nutrition?
severe stress, but we cannot avoid nutrition for any length of time.
Sofia: How can individual genetic differences affect the way we respond to nutrients?
efficient. Either of these types of variations can affect what is "optimal" for our own bodies, as individuals.
For example, some people have a higher-than-average genetic risk of developing dementia/Alzheimer's disease, but this does not mean they’re destined to develop it. But factors such as physical inactivity, alcohol drinking, smoking, higher intake of saturated fats, and lower intake of polyunsaturated fats have been reported to further increase the risk of developing this memory-robbing disorder. Thus, dietary and lifestyle choices can help offset and reduce the risk, while new research continues to emerge.
Sofia: When did you become convinced that differences in genes influences the body's response to diet and nutrition?
Ron: When I first started my professional career, I worked in product development/R&D for a large dietary supplement company, and I wanted to know the truth about whether supplements are really beneficial – or not.
When I started collecting scientific articles about this, I discovered that some people respond to clinical trials with supplements very favourably, while others do not respond, or respond in unexpected ways.
variations help explain many of the inconsistencies found in earlier studies.
Sofia: Is this the reason why you established your company Nutrigenetics, to promote awareness on genetics and health?
Ron: Yes, I created the online database Nutrigenetics.net in 2007, which is a subset of the U.S. National Library of Medicine database (PubMed.gov), with articles relevant to genetics and health. My company further indexes these articles with standardized terminology (controlled vocabulary), including for genes and gene variants.
Sofia: What is your company's mission?
Sofia: So not only Health Care Professionals and Researchers can access your database, but can the public as well?
Ron: Yes, articles of interest to the Public are identified and made accessible for easy browsing. After logging in, users can return to one of the homepage links like http://nutrigenetics.net/Home/ThePublic.aspx to browse hundreds of interesting article titles (instead of being limited to viewing only seven). Each title serves as a link to the corresponding PubMed record.
The great thing about our database is that it makes the evidence-based research much more accessible, so that members of the public can work together with their health practitioners to make the best possible choices, based on their own individual circumstances.

text: As you know I create art and you have seen some of my art as well. I recently have been having to come up with something for my senior capstone, which is my senior art show and I will be having it earlier because of me hopefully entering the education program. In the show we can put are art up for sale. I have a hard time letting my favorite pieces of art work go. I have created some paintings that I absolutely love and want to sell, but no one buys it and the art I create when I am bored and don't like people love it and want something like it. Currently I am trying to create a combination of a North Dakota Sunset and galaxy painting in water color. So far I am failing at creating that and it is getting frustrating because I need to start on it now, so that I wont have to worry about it later on. To be honest I haven't been as creative with my water color art as I have been with my Tik-Tok videos that I create. I do well when I am in the art room but once I am by myself it is like my art has downgraded. I am once again feeling discouraged but I keep pushing because I know I can do it. I feel if that if my art isn't good when I am by myself then how can I teach someone how to paint or draw if I am not happy with what I am doing?

White. White color would constantly make your floor appearing classic. However pure white sometimes may be so cold, so it is better for those who pick white colour with pink or peach undertone to soften the colour. Pearl grey. This color is ideal for gray fans but who doesn’t want their floors turn blue. Its own undertone would beam soft lights which would give a feeling of shifting sunlight. It’ll make the total appearance of your floor glowing, elegant and naturally spacious.
Laminate floor sink has a gorgeous matte finish. It is extremely cheap and water resistant, but this substance is not really durable. It’s very popular since it comes with assorted finishes, some resemble the expensive look of marble and quartz.
Bring samples back home. Benjamin Moore store would provide you paint chips, fan shades and paint colours samples that you’re able to get back home. In the home, compare those free samples with other flooring and furniture colors at your floor. Will the colours you choose blend and match other furniture and floor flooring? Look colours and tones’ samples beneath normal lights and synthetic lighting at nights. See whether there are significant difference between the lights. Pick Benjamin More floor colors that would look great under natural and artificial lighting.
To produce the floor looks chic and simple, you do not have to include big sink into your vanity. Selecting a little bowl shaped spout is enough. By doing this you can get creative with the floor countertop cabinet and also add some over the counter cabinet for additional storage. This arrangement is perfect for individuals who needs large spot due to their grooming and bathing equipment.

Economic sentiment in the Eurozone continued to dwindle in March. According to the European Commission (EC), the economic sentiment indicator (ESI) dropped 0.7 points from February to 105.5 points—the worst result in more than two years. All told, however, sentiment in the Eurozone remained above its long-run average. March’s reading undershot analysts’ expectations of a softer fall to 105.9 points.
A sharp fall in confidence in the manufacturing sector led March’s downturn, along with lower sentiment in the services sector. Employment plans also fell in the industrial and construction sectors significantly. Consumers, meanwhile, grew marginally more confident.
Looking at the individual countries, economic sentiment declined in 10 countries, including major-players Germany, Italy and the Netherlands. In contrast, sentiment rose markedly in Spain despite uncertainty ahead of a tight election race.

First of all, I speak with knowledge of what is going on out on the highways of America. I have been driving over the road for 32yrs so I think I know what I am talking about. Just a warning to all Americans stock up now because shortages will begin to show up very soon.
I drive an 18 wheeler and haul food product to all 48 states and I am heading home as with most and I mean most all of the drivers I have talked to and hear conversations all day on the C.B. radio. First of all, we want to be home when this gets real bad and second, we do not want to get the swine flu on the road as that to us would be almost a death sentence. Most of us eat in truckstops and shower in public restrooms at the truckstops so the chance of getting this is very very HIGH!
As for medical attention, if we do get the swine flu on the road the driver would have to call an ambulance because very few hospitals can take an 18 wheeler parked in the lot.
Most if not all of the food and goods are moved across America by truck and this will certainly turn into a huge fiasco as shortages start to become noticed by everyone. People will panic and you can be sure there will be martial law in the big cities due to shortages of food.
My advice is don't panic – just do what the Boy Scouts say "Be prepared". Get your supplies now. 3 or 4 weeks to be safe.
Take care .... AKA "The Bullet" heading home somewhere in the Northwest.

A specially designed curriculum and thorough conference schedule ensure that you are amply prepared for board examinations. In addition, ample elective time is allowed in the fourth year of training to pursue specific clinical and research interests.
Up to two individuals in each class (50 percent of the class of four residents) can opt to complete their interventional radiology training within Mayo Clinic's Arizona campus, since we will have an Interventional Radiology Independent Residency beginning in July 2020, and our program offers Early Specialization in Interventional Radiology (ESIR) during the R-4 year.
The Interventional Radiology Independent Residency will prioritize internal candidates for advanced placement into the program, which enables individuals interested in pursuing additional certification in interventional radiology to accomplish this with just one extra year of training after finishing the Diagnostic Radiology Residency. Our emphasis on education ensures that you have the finest teaching and broadest patient care experience possible during your residency.
After successfully completing the program, you will have become a highly qualified radiologist ready for the demands of a subspecialty fellowship, private practice, or academic practice. In accordance with requirements submitted by the American Board of Radiology (ABR) for board eligibility, Mayo Clinic requires successful completion of a clinical year prior to commencing its four-year Diagnostic Radiology Residency. The program gives applicants full flexibility in choosing the location and focus of that clinical year.
All applicants to this program apply through the Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS). All prospective applicants match for a residency position at Mayo Clinic through the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP). No appointments are made outside the NRMP.
The program is accredited by the Residency Review Committee (RRC) for Diagnostic Radiology of the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME). This residency also has been designated by the RRC as qualified to offer Early Specialization in Interventional Radiology (ESIR) training.
You are required to pass your diagnostic radiology core exam in your third year of training. As a residency graduate, you are then eligible to take the diagnostic radiology certifying exam offered by the American Board of Radiology approximately 15 months after completion of your training.
Mayo Clinic's Department of Radiology in Arizona has extensive experience in radiology education, previously training nine radiology fellows a year in the Advanced Radiology Fellowship, which began in 2000. Development of the Diagnostic Radiology Residency, which began in 2014, was an initiative to allow for a more integrated training experience.
Going forward, the number of fellowship spots has been reduced to align with the four resident positions offered each year. Residents at Mayo Clinic's campus in Arizona are not required to do fellowship training in the department, but the opportunity to integrate the residency and fellowship training years is available to those who are interested.

Join me in Costa Rica this November - Come to learn and get your own great photos!
By now, you have seen a lot of my photos from the last trip to Costa Rica. And as I mentioned, that trip was an exploratory one to determine whether or not it would be a great place to lead a photo tour. Well...it is a great place and we are heading there this November.
I did not want to officially announce this trip until I knew that it was "a go". And now we know for sure that it is! Some people have already signed up in advance and we have room for 6 more people. Join us for these 10 full days of photography and learning in one of the coolest places on earth.
Cost: $4800 per person (with a $300 discount if you sign up before October 4th) this includes internal airfare, all your food, taxes, tips and more.
Contact me here to grab one of the 6 open spots.
We woke up on the Osa Peninsula on Saturday morning and saw that it was raining. Sure, it is the rain forest and this is not unusual, but for the past week we had the normal clear skies for the first part of the day and then afternoon showers. But this was not going to stop us from taking photos. And...as it turned out, it actually helped me capture of one my favorite photos of the trip.
We had another great breakfast at Crocodile Bay and then packed up for another full day of shooting. As it would turn out, much of the photography on this day would be focusing on the birds of the area. The first bird that we saw was the Black-bellied Whistling Duck. We saw a couple of these ducks flying back and forth between two fallen trees, and I keyed in on the closest one. I kept the camera trained on the duck and waited for moments like this one.
The rain was not falling too hard, so we just got out of the 4-wheel drive vehicle and shot without any rain covers on the cameras or ourselves. I was using the Canon 1D X Mark II and Canon 100-400mm II lens which are rain resistant, so no worries.
The muted light allowed us to capture photos of the birds with very even light.
After photographing the ducks for a little while, we continued driving until we came across this Bare-throated Tiger-heron.
Ugh - I forget what bird this is. I am sure that all you birders will know. But I love the colors and markings on this species.
We were driving along when Dennis (our guide) hit the brakes and stopped the vehicle by a small stream. I was looking around and trying to figure out what the heck he saw. He pointed to a leaf that was hanging over the water and had us focus in on small shiny object at the bottom of the leaf. At this point, I am thinking "what the heck is that?" Dennis explained that this is a group of tree frog eggs which has been suspended over the water. When the frogs emerge from the eggs, they drop down into the water and swim to the shore. How cool is that?
Near that same location, we spotted this Iguana hanging out on fallen tree limb.
My wife loves birds of prey, so when we saw this Yellow-headed Caracara on a fence post, I had to jump out and get a shot. We took turns photographing the bird and then moving forward to get as close as possible. Once we got our "safe shots" we waited for the bird to fly off.
As soon as the Caracara took off, I started shooting photos in burst mode. You will notice how the rain falling in the opposite direction of the bird's flight actually makes the photo more interesting.
When photographing wildlife, I almost always keep my camera in IO Servo focus mode (follow focus) to track the animals as they move. I also use back button focus 100% of the time. If you are not familiar with these settings, come join me on a photo tour to Costa Rica and I will teach you.
I saw this little Red-breasted Meadowlark sitting on a branch (on the other side of the road from the Caracaras). I did shoot some tight shots of the Meadowlark but preferred this one with the tree and rain in the background. This is one of the reasons that I love the Canon 100-400mm lens. It lets me zoom in and out and reframe my shots for very different compositions.
This is the shot I was talking about at the beginning of this blog post. I was shooting photos of this Roadside Hawk when it decided to shake off the rain water from it's features. I was looking through the Canon 1D X Mark II when this occurred and I thought "Man - I hope I have a sharp focus on this hawk at this very moment!" If we had another dry day, I would never have captured this photo! Making lemonade from lemons for sure.
I have said this before in other blog posts, but I have become a real fan of photographing birds. The unique colors and markings are truly incredible. I love the colors on the back of this Gartered Trogon.
The low clouds also presented us with some cool landscape photos. This area of Costa Rica is so beautiful and untouched!
We were driving down a road towards the beach when we saw a large group of monkeys searching for food in the trees above us. The rain had all but stopped at this point so it was easier to point the cameras up into the trees without getting water on our lenses.
It was funny because the monkeys were eating the food inside these pods and then dropping them down on us as we photographed them.
I took this wider shot to show you all what it looks like as you look up into the canopy above.
We arrived at the beach and took advantage of the dry weather to stop for lunch.
As we made our way back to the resort, we spotted the same group of monkeys and we shot some more photos. We watched as the monkeys jumped one-by-one from one tree to another. I was teaching the others about spot metering and exposure compensation at this time. This is the only way to grab photos like this without getting a silhouette of the monkey.
We returned to the resort for a nice dinner and then a lesson on workflow using Photo Mechanic and Adobe Photoshop.
Sunday was our last full day on the Osa Peninsula and we made the most of it. We took one of the fishing boats across the bay, heading for an animal sanctuary.
It was so nice to cruise the coastline and enjoy the unspoiled scenes.
When we arrived at the animal sanctuary, we were greeted by "Sweetie", the cutest darned monkey ever. These monkeys are out and about. They are not caged, but they are used to people and will come right up to you.
I look forward to taking groups of people here to capture your own photos of these beautiful and friendly animals.
I saw this one monkey looking away from the light and took the opportunity to get a backlit portrait.
As we walked around the sanctuary, the monkeys followed us.
This Ocelot was in heat and pacing the cage like crazy. It took me a long time to capture this photo. (Since this animal was in a cage, I shot the photo at f/4.5 to try and blur the foreground and background. But in the original image, the cage was still pretty visible in the background. I brought the photo into Photoshop and blurred the background a little more on a separate layer and painted that in.
The owner of the sanctuary was looking for new photos for her annual calendar, so I was taking these to donate to her as much as for myself.
As I was walking around the sanctuary, I was greeted by this Great Curassow. I got down low and shot photo at the bird's eye level.
My daughter loves pigs and was happy to see a Collared Peccary on the property.
The sanctuary has a family of White-headed monkeys and I was happy to be able to photograph this adult and baby together.
These sloths were hanging out too (literally).
As we left the sanctuary, we escorted by a couple of the monkeys who came down to the beach to send us off.
We hopped back on the boat and took a short ride down the coastline to the private gardens of an American couple who moved there 37 years ago. They have created a magnificent garden with endless pathways of local foliage. And, of course, there are lots of wildlife there as well.
I watched as this Cherrie's Tanager hopped from one branch to another. Look at the amazing colors on the breast of this bird.
I saw this Bamboo tree and loved the colors and patterns in this shot. It is simple but elegant.
This is not the best photo in the world, but I am including it in the blog because it is the first time I have ever successfully photographed a Dragon Fly in flight. These insects move so fast that I have never had the opportunity to lock focus and grab the shot before they fly off. Well..this Dragon Fly was staying relatively still, so I zoomed the Canon 100-400mm II lens out to 400mm, manually focused the lens (since the auto focus was having trouble locking in on the small subject), and fired off a couple of shots before it took off. Bam - got it!
They have an abundance of flowers in the garden meant that we had an abundance of butterflies as well.
We all had a great time keying in on these little insects and getting up close and personal with them.
We took the boat back to Crocodile Bay and were heading up to the restaurant for lunch, but had to stop and get a picture of this Green Iguana who was out sunning himself.

We were in Cologne, Germany, last week, teaching a Loving Relationships Training. After our work was done the one thing I wanted to see was the Cologne Cathedral. I have been there twice before. Once in 1987 and once in 2013. What drew me to it? Probably not the religion, but more in terms of the tremendous creative energy and fortitude that would enable us as humans to construct such a thing. The intricacies of the Medieval Gothic Cathedral almost boggle the mind when you ponder the actuality of the physical actions needed to put the thing together—all out of stone, painstakingly carved by hand, every piece, by the thousands and thousands.
I came upon this great structure, up from the underground parking lot, into the cold atmosphere of a bright and sunny mid January day, amidst the spaciousness of an adjacent and primarily empty plaza. My Love, Sondra Ray, and our friends from Cologne (or Köln, as they say in Germany)— Dina, Dirk and Ursina—were with me on this pilgrimage. The twin spires are the tallest of any Gothic Cathedral in the Northern Gothic period. The construction was begun in 1248 and went on for 225 years, when it came to a halt in 1473. For nearly 400 years it sat unfinished, the completion of the original design was not carried out. Not until the fervor of nineteenth century Romanticism, and love for the nostalgia for the Medieval grandeur, was the final end in sight for the Cathedral’s grand completion. Another 40 years of intense work, from 1840-1880, produced a final masterpiece according to the original plans.
The Gothic experience is one of verticality. It is also one of light, intense and colorful light. It is above all, an experience of the glory of stone. Praise be to God from whom all blessings flow, yet they flow in the magnificent facility of stone masons and artists who worked in unison for centuries to produce such a remarkable structure. Together they toiled, with great focus, honoring the highest and best aspirations of mankind. Going into the Cologne Cathedral, one enters a dark cold place, and is lifted up to the heights of light, color, verticality and stone. Stone is everywhere, in all forms and shapes. Stained glass windows are vignettes of glory. Color floods your heart. The vertical lines of the soaring columns take your eye up to the heavens, to burst forth in the intricacies of expansively ribbed vaults of holy and glorious space.
But alas. I am an artist. And the religious experience for me is in the artifacts left by the craftsmen and designers of the day. Yet, what is really Holy in the end? It is a relationship, says Jesus in A Course in Miracles. The Holy Spirit does not even require the grandeur of a structure like this at all. It is in a heart to heart relationship between I and Thou, as Martin Buber put it. It is a Presence of Divine Connection in a space beyond thought, in which I can “meet you” in silence and stillness, as my Teacher, Tara Singh, would put it.
Let us not forget, nor be mesmerized by the grandeur of the place, which I assure you, is mind blowing. How could human beings have constructed this? Yet, what is it for? This is always the final real question applied to any man-made structure or edifice. Within the glory of the Cologne Cathedral is housed the bones of the three kings who came to adore the Christ Child. The “King of Kings” was adored by the worldly Kings of old, for the purpose of making note of the regality of his message: “Love ye one another, as I have loved you.” They came to honor absolute Love, and to pay homage to the human being manifested in His God-Given Holiness to express this absolute Love.
Thousand come to be in the Presence of this Holy Relationship—but let’s not be fooled by the awesomeness of tooled gold reliquaries, soaring stone pinnacles, and brilliant jewels of colored glass and the shining spectrum of filtered light flooding into our hearts. We come to connect with the Christ in a place like this. And the only question of its effectiveness is—”Have we?” Have we come, like the three Magi, to adore? Are we living in the vibration of the Holy Relationship that the Christ represents in us?
One wonders how the Archbishop of Cologne treated the lowly laborers who toiled with blood and guts to hoist the tons of stone and mortar used to shape this architectural Nirvana? Would he have washed their feet? I would do well to remember them in my pilgrimage, while contemplating this glory in my inner ambulation.
One could stay stuck in the notion we have missed the point. These are “shrines” to the ego’s misplaced notions of religion as an “organization,” such as the Catholic Church and the Medieval power structures that oversaw their construction. Or we could see it differently—as a monument to the co-operation of not only the people who constructed it, but to the very holy action over time of 632 years to complete it. This action required incredible stamina, fortitude, and determination to see it through to the end. We seem to have built these glorious structures in the attempts to know God better, and to connect with God the Father, God the Mother in Mary, and know the Christ their Son—better—Who together bring absolute love to these planes of human existence.
The “Hand of God” is all over the Cologne Cathedral. But also all over us. Will we rise to receive this touch of the spirit in all of our everyday affairs? What good would it be to go to such a place, a structure of Glory to God in the Highest, and not receive the Hand of God upon us in our actual life, in our actual relationships?
The Cologne Cathedral reminded me we must soar to greater heights of the Heart. And this “structure” is within us, in our Holy relationships with people. Jesus in A Course in Miracles says, “The Holy Spirit’s temple is not a body, but a relationship.” (ACIM-T-Chapt.20, Section IV, ❡5) The physical structures we build to Glorify God are all well and good. They uplift us to the possibilities of incredible beauty, vision, co-operation and accomplishment. Yet the real “temple” is how we relate to one another in a Loving Way. Are we loving each other as the Christ loves us? Until we treat each other the way we think Christ is treating us with His absolute, unconditional Love, then we are missing the point altogether of the Cologne Cathedral and places like it.
We were with our friends in Cologne. They were the real “Cologne Cathedral” of our hearts at the Tajet Garden Spiritual Healing Center. We made contact with them, Muraliya and Dina, a mother and daughter team who sponsored us and own the Tajet Garden, and Dirk and Ursina, who gave us tremendous support in translation and practical everyday attendance.
Not in a structure will you find the essence of a cathedral. The root of that word means “seat.” A cathedral was a church that contained the “bishop’s seat.” And the purpose of that “seat” was not to “assert authority,” but to bring our Adoration of the Christ into each of our Relationships. This “sacred seat” renders all of them Holy. Who is on the “seat” in your Holy Heart? Is it a cathedral built of stone and magnificent glass windows, or is it a person—forgiven of all your judgments and prejudices—who holds out the possibility of a real sacred connection?
You may like a Giclee of “Jesus of Cologne” I painted in the Cologne LRT. That can be arranged.
MARKUS received his formal art training at the Rhode Island School of Design, Cleveland Institute of Art, and Tyler School of Art in Philadelphia. His mentors were the OP ART painter Julian Stanczak in Cleveland, and ABSTRACT EXPRESSIONIST Stephen Greene who painted in New York and taught in Philadelphia. What he gleaned in his own work from these two relationships was a keen colorist emphasis and an insistence on sacred content.

Maxwell Love was among about 30 protesters who slept near the Assembly chambers Wednesday night, planning to make sure they could see their government in action when it met Thursday to vote on Gov. Scott Walker's union-busting legislation.
They stayed in the foyer of the Assembly chambers. But as dawn broke and the Assembly prepared to meet, they noticed an unusually large police presence. About 20 officers lined up outside the chambers while another eight moved into the foyer, standing between the protesters and the chamber room.
"All of a sudden about five state troopers came in," Love says. "They didn't say anything, they just came in and carried people out. They just dumped them on the other side. People started yelling."
The troopers came back and this time, told the protesters, "You can come with us or we're going to take you."
Some protesters sat down. "Some people went out writhing. Some of the people they just dragged across the police line. I wasn't going to get dragged out. I said, 'Okay I'll walk out.'"
Love claims that one older man had his glasses broken and was cut. He captured much of the event on video. It is an illustration of the increasing tension as the protests drag on.

The Sunday Times feature writer Bryan Appleyard made a trip to our coast last year. This excellent article will give you a great feel for the dunes, monuments, beach and mountains of one of our favourite local beaches. The beach of Bolonia (also known locally by its roman name of Baelo Claudia) is a 25 minute drive from Vejer.
I can just imagine the hard sell 2,300 years ago. “The beach, by Jupiter, the beach! And the sea is solid with tuna! You can walk to Morocco on the backs of tuna. You can feed the empire!” Dumbstruck by the view of the bay, by the blue-grey humps of the Atlas Mountains across the straits, by the warm breeze rippling the sea, by a comfortable distance from the strictures and office politics of Rome, the centurions looked at each other, nodded and established Baelo Claudia. Within a few years, the empire was gorging on salted tuna and garum — fermented fish paste.

After leaving the White House last year to return to his job as Breitbart News chief, Steve Bannon announced that he was launching a new kind of campaign.
Hoping to channel the right-wing, anti-establishment fervor that had propelled Donald Trump to the presidency, the former White House chief strategist would now travel the country recruiting insurgent GOP candidates to challenge incumbent Republican senators running for reelection in 2018 — almost all of them.
He promised to overturn the “globalist clique on Capitol Hill” with its “total contempt for the forgotten man and the base.” Bannon’s acolytes would be chosen for their loyalty to the “basic agenda that Trump ran on and won,” and their promise to vote against Mitch McConnell, the personification of the GOP establishment, for another term as Senate Majority Leader.
Within a few months he had given his blessing to at least seven candidates in mostly Western and Southern states.
But then came December’s special election in Alabama, in which Bannon went all in for accused child molester Roy Moore, who became the first Alabama Republican to lose a statewide race to a Democrat since 1992. That humiliation was followed last week by the publication of Michael Wolff’s Fire and Fury, in which Bannon was quoted disparaging Trump and his family at length.
Within hours, Bannon’s billionaire patrons Robert Mercer and his daughter Rebekah said they were withdrawing their support and word began to spread that even Bannon’s job at Breitbart was in doubt. Reports soon surfaced that Bannon’s fledgling political group, Citizens of the American Republic, had so far failed to build any infrastructure or secure any real funding, suggesting that Bannon was less influential than he liked to pretend.
Meanwhile, on Sunday, Trump insisted that he was done stumping for GOP outsiders like Moore.
“I don’t see that happening,” the president said, adding that he did plan to campaign for incumbents.
By Tuesday, Bannon had parted ways with Breitbart News, further diminishing the volume of his political megaphone and stripping away what influence he wielded for the candidates he had handpicked.
But the truth may be a little more complicated — and interesting. All of the declared candidates that Bannon considered part of his “coalition” were already running before he endorsed them — and all of them will continue campaigning without him.
So while Bannon may be an outcast, his candidates could continue to shape the 2018 Republican season in strange and surprising ways.
No candidate welcomed Bannon’s endorsement as enthusiastically as Arizona Republican Kelli Ward, a 48-year-old osteopath and former state senator from Lake Havasu City.
But since Bannon’s break with Trump, Ward’s team has been distancing her from the embattled Breitbart chief.
“Steve Bannon is only one of many high-profile endorsements Dr. Ward has received,” campaign spokesman Zachery Henry said last week.
Ward’s campaign strategy is simple: Do as Donald Trump would do. Since launching her bid in late 2016, Ward has unapologetically championed all of Trump’s most controversial proposals, from the Muslim ban to the border wall; when the president visited Phoenix in August, Ward’s team walked the streets in bright yellow T-shirts that read TRUMP 2016 WARD 2018 on the front and #MAKEARIZONAGREATAGAIN on the back.
Embracing the president’s top campaign strategist was perfectly in keeping with Ward’s all-Trump-all-the-time approach.
But now look for Ward to pretend Bannon never existed — and to hug Trump even tighter.
The question that could define her campaign — and determine her fate — is whether Trump hugs her back.
The president has been sympathetic before. When Ward entered the race, she was mounting a primary challenge against Flake, Arizona’s junior senator and one of the GOP’s most vocal Trump critics. At the time, Trump tweeted that it was “great to see” Ward “running against Flake Jeff Flake.” Mercer sent $300,000 to Ward’s super-PAC, and two former pro-Trump super-PAC leaders signed on to run her campaign.
Meanwhile, the GOP establishment — which views Ward as a loose cannon who could cost the party a precious Senate seat in November — began to fight back. In August, the McConnell-aligned Senate Leadership Fund super-PAC released an ad on the web that painted Ward — and, by implication, the entire Trump movement — as out of touch with reality.
The party’s worries about Ward are numerous: she plagiarized a Mitt Romney ad; she mocked John McCain as old and weak, and after he was diagnosed with brain cancer, called on him to retire so she could take over his seat; in 2015, she earned the nickname “Chemtrail Kelli” after hosting a town hall meeting to discuss a conspiracy theory — a theory she says she doesn’t believe — that the trails of white condensation emanating from airplane engines are actually dangerous chemicals being dispersed by the government. She also ran against McCain in 2016 and wound up losing the GOP primary by more than 11 percentage points.
Yet the more Flake antagonized Trump, the more Republican support he lost back home; by the end of the summer, his approval rating had plummeted to 18 percent, and early polls showed Ward with a double-digit primary lead. In October, Flake announced that he would be retiring from the Senate at the end of his term.
As a result, a race that seemed fairly black and white — anti-Trump incumbent vs. pro-Trump insurgent — suddenly became a lot less clear cut. Washington insiders, including some Trump officials, stepped up their search for an alternative to Ward. Rep. Matt Salmon passed up the race; Arizona Treasurer Jeff DeWit accepted a NASA post instead. Now the party seems to have settled on Rep. Martha McSally — a Harvard-educated former fighter pilot from Tucson — as its likeliest standard-bearer. McSally is more popular than Flake and friendlier to Trump — she has voted with the president nearly 97 percent of the time, which exceeds even the figure of 90.7 percent for Flake — and Arizona politicos say she would stand a much better chance of defeating Rep. Krysten Sinema, the near-certain Democratic nominee.
Which is where Trump comes in. If the president refuses to weigh in on Ward’s behalf — or sides with McConnell and endorses her more electable rival — it will undermine Ward’s whole raison d’être.
Further complicating matters is the fact that former Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio announced Tuesday that he will also be running in the primary. Arpaio’s harsh anti-immigrant policies have made him a hero to the far right, and as the recipient of Trump’s first presidential pardon, he will be competing for the same America First, pro-Trump voters that Ward hoped to have all to herself.
Ward is still popular with Arizona’s GOP base — she helped drive the hated Flake from office, after all — and she could still cause serious problems for McSally and McConnell in the primary.
Will Trump himself come to the same conclusion?
In September, Bannon huddled at Breitbart’s Capitol Hill headquarters with Danny Tarkanian, the son of legendary University of Nevada, Las Vegas basketball coach Jerry Tarkanian and a perennial right-wing Nevada candidate. A month earlier, Tarkanian had announced that he would be challenging incumbent Republican Sen. Dean Heller, who denounced Trump during the 2016 campaign and torpedoed an early version of the GOP’s Obamacare repeal legislation.
With Arizona’s Jeff Flake declining to run for reelection and Nevada trending blue — Hillary Clinton defeated Donald Trump there in 2016 — Heller is by far the most vulnerable Republican senator in the country. So far, he also is the only GOP incumbent fending off credible challengers from both the right and the left — which means the stakes of Bannon’s anti-establishment antics may be higher in Nevada than anywhere else.
And those stakes are likely to remain just as high regardless of whether Bannon himself is a player in the race.
Tarkanian’s strategy is to assault Heller for being insufficiently pro-Trump — and insufficiently principled, especially when it comes to Obamacare.
Tarkanian’s pitch could resonate in the primary because has a point: Heller has been all-over-the-place on repeal, and his standing in Nevada has suffered as a result. Tarkanian is also correct when he notes that Heller has waffled on Trump, declaring in 2016 that “I vehemently oppose our nominee” but sounding (conveniently) friendlier since the pro-Trump Tarkanian entered the race.
He has a “much closer relationship” now with the president, Heller told the Las Vegas Review Journal last week.
The problem, from McConnell’s perspective, is that however accurate Tarkanian’s attacks may be, his presence in the primary will probably only make it harder for the GOP to retain Heller’s seat. The latest independent polls give Tarkanian the lead; to win, Heller will have to veer further to the right by touting his new chumminess with Trump and his rediscovered distaste for Obamacare. But those are the very things that would weaken Heller against Democratic Rep. Jacky Rosen, a strong campaigner who has been out-fundraising Heller since announcing her bid in July.
If, on the other hand, Tarkanian prevails, he will face a rematch with Rosen — to whom he has already lost once before, in the 2016 battle for Nevada’s Third Congressional District.
And that isn’t the only election Tarkanian has lost. In fact, he has run for office five times — and he has lost all five races. In 2004, Tarkanian ran for state senate. In 2006, he tried for secretary of state. In 2010, he sought the nomination to run against Democratic Sen. Harry Reid, but lost in a primary to Sharron Angle. In 2012, he ran in Nevada’s Fourth Congressional District, ultimately losing to Democratic Rep. Steven Horsford, who lost the seat himself two years later. And then in 2016 he lost to Rosen.
As for Bannon, Tarkanian hasn’t bailed on him yet.
“If Mr. Bannon chooses to support me in our effort to repeal and replace Dean Heller with someone who will truly have the president’s back, I welcome his support,” Tarkanian said last week in a statement.
Team Heller and the McConnell-aligned, Heller-supporting Senate Leadership Fund have pounced on the association. After Tarkanian challenged Heller to sign a “McConnell Replacement Pledge” in October, the Senate Leadership Fund quickly tweeted out a pledge of its own that featured a Daily News headline about Steve Bannon’s allegedly anti-Semitic past above a blank “I agree” line awaiting Tarkanian’s signature.
“Our concern is that Steve Bannon has a long paper trail of controversial statements and associations that do not play well with general-election audiences, and viable candidates who are perceived as too close to him will have to drag around his baggage next fall,” Senate Leadership Fund President and CEO Steven Law told USA Today.
Even so, it’s unlikely that Tarkanian’s bond with Bannon will matter much in the primary. Heller is damaged goods among the Nevada GOP base — and Tarkanian will keep hammering him from the right.
Matt Rosendale, the Montana state auditor who is seeking the nomination to take on Democratic Sen. Jon Tester, is a somewhat unlikely candidate for Bannon’s blessing, because he has publicly aligned himself with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell for months.
Nonetheless, Bannon’s circle made him a top priority — especially after Moore’s loss in Alabama, when a weakened Bannon seemed less inclined to pursue his war against McConnell.
Rosendale did pose for a picture with Bannon in October, at the height of Bannon’s popularity. Moore had just defeated the establishment candidate, Luther Strange, who also had Trump’s support, and Bannon was cultivating an image as a kingmaker. And Rosendale has an issue profile and a personal style that appeals to the same populist base as Bannon and his allies. He’s taken hard-right positions on health care, gay marriage, and land use, a big issue in the West. He can match his 1950s-era buzz cut against Tester’s.
Rosendale has the backing of the establishment-oriented National Republican Senatorial Committee, mainly because the national party’s top two choices didn’t run. Former Congressman Ryan Zinke took a job as Trump’s secretary of the Interior, and state Attorney General Tim Fox turned down a run.
Rosendale, 57, is not a native Montanan, having moved from Maryland to the state a little more than a decade ago. But his background in land use as a real estate developer,and his personal presentation as a dressed down, gun-toting hunter are in line with conservative sensibilities in a state like Montana.
“I’ll stand with President Trump and we’ll beat the Washington elites,” Patrick Morrisey promised in his first campaign ad for the U.S. Senate seat in West Virginia now held by conservative Democrat Joe Manchin.
But Morrisey, the state attorney general, is himself a product of elite institutions in and around Washington. He has deep roots on Capitol Hill, having been a high-ranking congressional staffer from 1999 to 2004, and he helped shepherd the law establishing the prescription drug benefit program.
Morrisey, 50, has also spent years at topflight Washington law firms as an expert on Medicare, Medicaid and FDA regulatory issues. And he lived most of his life in New Jersey, where he ran for Congress in 2000.
Morrisey didn’t move to West Virginia until 2006, and he lives in Harper’s Ferry, right on the border with Maryland. His wife, Denise Henry Morrisey, is a founding partner of one of the top lobbying firms in Washington, and has a residence in northern Virginia.
Even more so than Rosendale, Morrisey is not a typical Bannon candidate. But he and Rosendale are two of the most competitive candidates seeking to flip a Democratic seat this year. And Bannon, who thought Moore was a slam-dunk to win in Alabama — a seemingly safe bet before he was accused of pursuing teenage girls while in his 30s – has always had a pragmatic streak that leads him to side with likely winners.
That doesn’t mean Morrisey lacks conservative credentials. He built a robust track record of fighting against federal regulation as West Virginia’s attorney general over the past five years.
Morrisey sued the Obama administration over the Affordable Care Act, and was part of 13 different lawsuits against the Obama administration’s Environmental Protection Agency, many of them having to do with regulations affecting the coal industry, which employs about 12,000 people in the state.
Morrissey also joined a group of state attorneys general last July in calling on Trump to rescind the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) policy, which the president did revoke in September.
Morrisey’s chief competitor in the Republican primary is Rep. Evan Jenkins, 57, who spent 20 years as a state legislator in West Virginia — as a Democrat — before getting elected to Congress in 2014 as a Republican.
Jenkins called on Morrisey to “disavow” Bannon after Trump broke with him over the Wolff book.
Unlike Rosendale and Morrissey, Kevin Nicholson, a candidate for the Wisconsin Senate seat now held by Democrat Tammy Baldwin, has no experience in government. His candidacy is based on his biography, with a focus on his decorated service in the U.S. Marine Corps.
Nicholson, 39, is so new to politics and public life that there is no entry for him on Wikipedia. But the photogenic and well-spoken Nicholson has received significant financial support from conservative megadonor Richard Uihlein.
Uihlein, who lives in Illinois, has given $3.5 million to a super-PAC formed to back Nicholson’s candidacy directly, Solutions for Wisconsin. And Uihlein has given more than $16 million over the past three years to eight other political groups that have all endorsed Nicholson as well, according to information compiled by the Wisconsin Democratic Party.
Nicholson’s relative obscurity might work to his advantage, because his biography is not as straightforward as it sounds. Before his emergence as a Republican candidate, he was a national leader of college Democrats from 1999 to 2000. He appeared on television during that time touting Democratic talking points, and gave a speech at the 2000 Democratic convention, where he endorsed the pro-choice position on abortion.
Nicholson has explained that becoming a father of three children and seeing innocent lives cut short during his two tours in Iraq and Afghanistan — for which he received a Bronze Star — changed his mind about abortion. And his shift from Democrat to Republican is part of his stump speech.
Yet in a primary, his opponents can be counted on to run ads featuring Nicholson’s past positions and speeches.
He’s facing a formidable primary opponent in Leah Vukmir, a state senator from Wisconsin who has been an ally of Gov. Scott Walker through several years of political battles. Vukmir commands respect in the state Republican Party, and has her own public service background, having been a nurse for over two decades.
Nicholson represented an interesting prospect for the anti-establishment groups, and for Bannon and the Breitbart crew in particular, since he could be a vehicle to subtly undermine House Speaker Paul Ryan in his own state. Nicholson has already criticized Ryan in a private conversation that went public.
Chris McDaniel spoke as if he were an acolyte of Bannon’s in the past. “I consider Steve to be a friend of mine, and I do follow his advice,” he said in September.
The 45-year-old Mississippi state senator and lawyer came within a few thousand votes of knocking out incumbent Sen. Thad Cochran in 2014, and is still bitter about the way Cochran allies turned out Democrats in a primary runoff to deny him the nomination.
McDaniel appeared poised to challenge Mississippi’s other incumbent, Sen. Roger Wicker, this year. But Bannon’s demise has greatly complicated those plans, leaving McDaniel in a state of limbo.
McDaniel has carried an anti-establishment message for years, and so he was a perfect fit for Bannon and the Breitbart crowd. But when Bannon lost the backing of the Mercers at some point this fall, more mainstream candidates like Morrisey and Rosendale became something of a life raft for Bannon. In private conversations with reporters, Bannon began edging away from candidates like McDaniel, who has a history of troubling comments on race and gender.
The Mercers have given McDaniel $500,000 already. With Bannon marginalized, it’s unclear whether they’ll continue to give to McDaniel. Even if they do, Wicker is a far stronger candidate than the now-80-year-old Cochran was in 2014.
Wicker, 66, spent much of 2017 raising money and building a political organization to run for reelection, and also made sure there was little daylight between himself and Trump, who remains popular in the South. The primary vote for his seat is in June.
However, Cochran is expected to retire soon, amid reports of visible “physical and mental decline.” If he had done so before the end of 2017, that would have triggered a special election within 100 days. That would have been a perfect opportunity for McDaniel, who has a small but enthusiastic base he could mobilize in an off-cycle race.
But now that any Cochran retirement will come in 2018, the special election to fill his seat through 2018 would take place on Nov. 6, the same day as the general election. With both Senate seats up at the same time, McDaniel would lose the advantage he would have in a low-turnout special election. He is talking about possibly running for lieutenant governor instead. But then McDaniel’s challenge would be to raise money from inside Mississippi, where he is largely scorned.
In October, the New York Times reported that Erik Prince, the 48-year-old founder of controversial security contractor Blackwater, was “seriously considering” a challenge to Wyoming Sen. John Barrasso, a senior member of the Republican leadership.
In the wake of Bannon’s banishment, it’s unclear whether he still is.
Prince even has strong Trump ties: He served as an informal adviser during the transition, and he is the brother of Education Secretary Betsy DeVos.
But now that Bannon is at odds with Trump — and his Mercer money has dried up — an insurgent Prince run seems improbable.
Also complicating matters: Prince, a recruit with thin ties to Wyoming and plenty of baggage already, was most recently in the news for proposing a private spy network to the administration and secretly meeting in the Seychelles with a Kremlin-linked banker as part of an apparent attempt to set up backchannel communications between then President-elect Trump and Moscow.
Many of Bannon’s candidates were already running before he entered the fray — and all of them will continue running and (in some cases) continue causing problems for McConnell and the GOP establishment now that Bannon is kaput.
But Prince may wind up being emblematic of a different kind of Bannon candidate: the kind whose run was dependent on Bannon’s backing, and who now won’t run without him.

When trading the forex markets, a trader is looking to profit from changing currency exchange rates. Currency markets trade in pairs. A trader is betting on changing exchange rates between the two currencies that make up that pair.
A big advantage in favour of Forex trading vs stock trading is the superior leverage offered by Forex brokers. If you are physically trading stock, you are likely trading without the benefit of leverage.
Since I talk a lot about stock trading, it’s important to remember there are other trading options, such as forex. Knowing the differences between stocks vs forex helps you decide which is better for you.
Forex Trading, also known as FX Trading or by many as the Foreign Currency Exchange, is a financial market where a person can trade national currencies in order to try and make a profit.
Foreign exchange, as the prime market, generates billions in revenue for the world’s banks and is a necessity of the global markets. Analysts in foreign exchange have very little effect on exchange rates; they just analyze the forex market.
Forex vs. Stock Market - Where to Invest?
About Currency Trading and Forex Trading Currency Trading is the largest traded market around 3 Trillion in U.S. Dollars daily. Speculative Currency Traders account for nearly 75% of daily volume. Currency Traders have the ability to trade 24 hours, meaning when global events happen they can react and not worry if the market is open.
Back in 2013, average daily trading volume for New York Stock Exchange was $22.4 billion, Tokyo Stock Exchange was $18.9 billion and London Stock Exchange was $7.2 billion. Whereas, average daily trading volume for the Forex Market was $5.00 trillion.
12/8/2016 · Forex broker vs Stock exchange broker Trading Discussion. hi guys I have a couple of questions I trade Forex so I know that with Forex brokers we can trade currency pairs, metals, indices , etc with leverage and we almost have 24 hour access to open new positions or close them.

My L1520 heating up in installation apps, games, calls, sms every where.
This happened to my L535 (and my L1020), and restarting the phone seemed to have stopped the "extra" heating. However, it is perfectly normal for your phone to heat up during prolonged use, especially for games and app installations. Prolonged calls can also heat up your device.
How long does it take before you notice the heat?
Didn't you install Windows 10 through unofficial channels?
I have that same problem too.
I recently got myself 1520 and during charging and prologend use (game, ie.,etc..) my top left corner get heated up and warm. Is that normal?
My gf 630dual is warm after intese use too..but my 735 is not. Maybe just because it has ticker plastic case, i don't know.
Sorry if i hijacked but we have same problem.
Why is my Xbox music app showing the same album cover on all songs?
How do I stop app updates waiting for wifi?

Is The AC Thermostat Working Correctly near Webberville?
Experience is amongst the most essential points to consider when selecting an HVAC contractor. You need a contractor who may have been able to work on different projects throughout the years. Experienced contractors usually deliver quality services mainly because they have perfected their skills. You can even expect them to identify and fix the problem inside a short time period. In case the company was recently started, try for additional information about the experience with employees. There is not any must risk by choosing an HVAC contractor who has been doing it for a few months.
Webberville is a village in Travis County, Texas (USA). Its population was 392, according to a 2010 census estimate.
Comprising settlements dating back to 1827, Webber’s Prairie was formally established by retired physician John Ferdinand Webber in 1839. Webber’s Prairie was renamed Webberville in 1853, and was incorporated as a Village in February 2003.

If you're ready to put the "pizzazz" back into your smile, your dentist may be able to help. It's possible your dull, dingy smile could be transformed with teeth whitening.
Teeth whitening or bleaching is a technique that applies a solution with a bleaching agent (usually up to 35% hydrogen peroxide in an office setting) to the teeth to whiten them. Although there are Do-It-Yourself home whitening kits you can use, there are a few good reasons why you should first consider a whitening procedure in a dental office setting.
To begin with, you should first have your teeth examined by a dentist to determine why they're discolored. Certain foods and beverages we consume or tobacco habits are the usual culprits causing stains on the enamel, the outermost tooth layer. These are the kinds of stains targeted by most whitening solutions.
But the interior of a tooth can also become discolored for reasons like trauma, past dental work or tetracycline use at an early age. If your staining is internal (intrinsic) rather than external (extrinsic) reducing that discoloration will require an invasive procedure only a dentist can perform—a home kit won't be able to do the job.
Another reason for having your teeth whitened by your dentist (even extrinsic staining) involves your time and the degree of brightness you'd like. Because dentists use stronger bleaching solutions (home kits usually use a weaker solution of 10% carbamide peroxide) it takes fewer sessions than home kits to achieve results—and they may last longer. In addition, dentists have more control over the level of brightness to match your expectations of a more subdued, natural look or a dazzling "Hollywood" smile.
A dentist can also help you navigate special circumstances like matching and managing natural teeth whiteness with dental restorations (which don't bleach) or special whitening situations like a single discolored tooth.
Even if you eventually decide to go the home kit route, consulting with a dentist first can still prove helpful. You'll get expert advice on products, tips on how to apply them and how to prolong the whitening effect. Whichever way you go, home kit or dentist, you can gain a brighter, more confident smile with teeth whitening.
