I was thinking about style recently. Mine and yours. Writing styles. Painting styles. Even personal fashion styles. It takes time to build and figure out who you are. It takes time to sit with your style a while and see if it feels good on your soul.
My writing style came about first from writing privately about my pain. There was truth and hurt and beauty and faith in my words. They took a while to find their path. From the pain, came inspiration. I wanted to understand and move on from my hurt, and as a result I looked at some of the words I’d written to see if others could benefit. If others would understand.
There’s always a balance with writing. You want to share your pain so others can learn the lessons you did (and so they can learn it all in much less time, with much less hurt) but you also don’t want to appear whiny and self-indulgent. How do you know the difference? I think you have to listen to the people around you: your friends and family, the readers who love your work, the ones who are critical, and your own gut instinct. Take it all in, and then self-reflect and meditate and listen to God.
And know this: it’s never a perfect world. What feels right to you may not work for someone else. Concentrate on the kindred spirits you meet. You’re here to build each other up.
Don’t get angry at those who either hate or don’t get your work. If you had their experience in life, maybe you wouldn’t like your work either. But you create the things you do because of your unique experience, and don’t devalue it. You are here for a reason.
I see people all the time who enjoy someone’s work and then try to do the same exact thing, even copying the style. You can’t. You can, however, take what you love about that work and create your own piece, that includes your own vision. Your personal style can be influenced by people, but it can’t be copied. A copycat style can be spotted a mile away and it’s never as good as your own original.
I’ve been thinking about style lately because I’m new to mixed media, and while I feel like it’s been a blessing on my soul, I know I’m also developing my style. This is new to me. I had painted one way for a long time but I had not tried to sell my work. I just did it because I loved it.
But now, I do it with a purpose. The same purpose I have for my writing. I want to help people. I want to bring joy or make people feel better. I want them to see the beauty in God’s faithfulness.
My writing style may evolve a bit, but it’s steadily there. If you’ve read my blogs or articles or books, you recognize it. That’s what style is. It may change, but the core of what it represents stays the same. I want my art to reflect the meaning and purpose of my writing.
But developing a style, it takes time. Patience. (I’m so not good at patience.) I just want to be done . You know? Then suddenly I finish a painting and instantly realize how I want to do the next one differently. It’ll be that way for a while, I guess. I know I’m getting there, though.

We are working to reduce AISIN Group’s environmental impact to zero, chiefly through the Environmental Conservation Study Group. This includes developing products that make effective use of resources and can be recycled; stepping up resource recycling at the production and logistics stages; and making effective use of water resources.
Since fiscal 2014, Aisin Takaoka’s Kira Plant is achieving major reductions in casting sand waste, a form of industrial waste, by recycling it as core sand for internally manufactured casting cores. As of fiscal 2018, the company has sought to create a setup for supplying recycled sand to a casting core manufacturer on its premises and expand recycling of casting sand further and has contributed to reducing industrial waste output by 4,200 tons per year.
The AISIN consolidated environmental policy extends beyond compliance with international standards and the laws, regulations and conventions of each country we are involved with - we have also pledged to establish our own standards and endeavor to prevent pollution. Based on this policy, the AISIN Group has set more stringent anti-pollution standards than those stipulated by relevant laws, regulations and ordinances. Measurements are taken regularly and trends are monitored as a proactive measure against pollution.
Soil and groundwater are monitored particularly closely, with a well installed on the border of each company or factory's site and regular measurements carried out. If pollution is discovered, groundwater or gases are suctioned from the soil and purified.
We also carry out training to prevent effluent from entering waterways such as rivers and seas.
The AISIN Group has created water shortage risk standards and used them to identify high-risk sites.
Four targets have been set to promote effective water use at our 11 sites with a particularly high risk: (1) reduction of water intake, (2) appropriate use of groundwater, (3) appropriate use of industrial water and (4) the installation of emergency water tanks.
Various initiatives are taking place based on these targets. ADVICS Yunfu Automobile Parts Co., Ltd. in China and the Kota Plant of Aisin Sin'ei Co., Ltd. are recycling water, while Aisin Seiki's Kariya site makes use of rainwater.
Using the water-related risk assessment tool Aqueduct, and by formulating our own original assessment standard reflecting the results of interviews with personnel to determine the actual situation at the various Group companies, we selected 13 high-risk locations from among a total of 158 locations both in Japan and overseas.
To set targets that match actual conditions at high-risk locations, in fiscal 2019 we will conduct on-site checks at the 13 selected locations, and set targets and promote activities to match the situation at those sites.
To ensure the disposal of PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls) by the deadline stipulated by law (the end of March 2027), AISIN Group in Japan has formulated a Group Integrated Disposal Plan*, which sets earlier arbitrary deadlines ahead of the date stipulated by law.
After ascertaining the number of devices with high concentrations of PCBs stored and/or currently in use by the Group, as of June 2018, we have now disposed of 70% of high-concentration PCB devices. This was achieved through initiatives such as negotiating to obtain joint disposal allotments and outsourcing consolidated transportation of PCB devices across the Group.
Moving forward, we will continue to drive disposal activities as a united Group, with a view to the total eradication of all PCBs.
* Disposal of high-concentration PCBs is expected to be completed by the end of fiscal 2021 and low-concentrations PCBs by the end of fiscal 2025.

Although the summer heat is persistent, autumn is just around the corner. With the advent of autumn upon us, it’s time to start thinking about transitioning your HVAC system from summer functions to fall and winter.
However, it’s not as simple as just turning the AC off. You should ease both your home and your air conditioning system into the next season. Here are four tips to help you make the switch as smooth as possible.
Now that the weather is starting to mellow out, you can at least turn the air conditioning unit to a lower setting. Once you do that, start using your ceiling fans a little bit more and opening windows. Not only does it take some of the burden off of your air conditioner, it allows your house to air out and stay fresh.
Although this is a great summer tactic to take strain off of your air conditioner, it works for just about any season. Approximately 25% of your home’s hot and cold air is lost through small cracks and holes, which means curtains and blinds are great energy savers. They not only keep the sun and heat out in the summer, they keep the cool in when you need them to.
Not only is the weather during the day getting more mild, the nights are becoming even cooler. This is a great time of year to save energy by turning your AC off at night. Open a window and leave a few fans on in the house to circulate the cool night air and you’ll wake up in a home that feels fresh and cool without breaking the bank before autumn fully sets in.
Though you may not think it, your HVAC services need preventative maintenance at least twice every year. This is the perfect transitional time to call your HVAC company and have your system inspected. Not only should you have your AC inspected, but your furnace needs a checkup as well. It’s just as important to repair any damage done over the summer months as it is to prepare your heating system for the cold of winter.
If you’re not sure where to begin with transitioning your HVAC system to the autumn months, give your HVAC company a call and they’ll be able to answer your questions.

If you follow my blog, then you know I travel a lot, mostly for work. But occasionally, I get to travel for fun. I love to travel, especially if my husband gets to join me. One of the things that attracted me to my job was the traveling part. I was a single 23 year old with not many commitments (no mortgage, no student loan debt, only a car payment). I had traveled with my family over the course of my life, but I had the travel bug and I wanted to travel EVERYWHERE. I knew I wanted to go to New York City (ala Carrie Bradshaw and Friends), Chicago, Miami, Texas (anywhere in Texas), Boston and out of the country. My job had promises of these.
It did not take me long to go to all of those and then some. I have traveled to cities I have loved and hated. Since I travel a lot for work, I now know where I want to go back to, where I never want to step foot in again and the types of places I want to see that I still haven't. I am slowly but surely checking off states and countries on my map both through work and personal.
New York City. I can't get enough. I have only been for work, but I have been my fair share of times.
Australia. I went for work for two weeks and saw Melbourne, Canberra and Sydney. I loved every second of it.
Costa Rica. We went on vacation there for 11 glorious days. Do yourself a favor and go to the Guanacaste Province. It is full of beauty, adventure, not as touristy and the "pure life". I CAN NOT wait to go back.
Alaska. I went on a cruise from Seattle to Skagway, Ketchikan, Juneau and Prince Rupert, Canada. I went in July/August, so the weather was perfect, and the salmon and king crab legs were to die for.
Boston. I have only been there once, and I am going back there soon for work, but I loved it. I loved the history, the food and culture.
Hawaii. What more can I say than I went there for my honeymoon and loved it.
I have been to Washington, Oregon, California, Nevada, Arizona, Utah, Colorado, Wisconsin, Illinois, Texas, Georgia, Florida, Indiana, Pennsylvania, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Massachusetts, Alaska, Hawaii and Michigan.
On my list of places I must go are the Carolina's, Maine, Louisiana, Italy (ok most of Europe) and Belize. Some upcoming trips: March: Mexico and Boston area April: Wisconsin and Minnesota May: Colorado and Oregon June: California I have the travel bug and must/need to travel as much as I can before we have children. Because I will then want to go to kiddie places instead of the tropics. Who am I kidding, I am bringing the kiddies to those places too. Do you have the travel bug?

An Old Pasadena-based company which pioneered a ground-breaking “last mile” foldable electric scooter in 2014 revealed a bevy of innovative new models and a breakthrough power source on Wednesday.
As was URB-E’s original electric vehicle, the new models were engineered by Sven Etzelsberger, previously a lead engineer at Porsche, and designed by Grant Delgatty, professor of industrial design at Pasadena’s ArtCenter College of Design.
The vehicles are hand-built in the company’s Green Street facility from American-produced 6061 T6 aircraft grade aluminum.
At the top of the company’s new lineup is a Sport model which costs only $899.
The new model is “It’s lighter, more compact extremely easy to carry, folds up super tight and even has a removable battery that can charge up to seven devices at once,” said URB-E’s Head of Sales and Marketing Evan Saunders, about the new URB-E Sport scooter.
The revolutionary URB-E Sport is the first vehicle ever featuring the built-in removable Eddy battery that pays homage to Thomas Edison and is capable of charging multiple devices via both USB Type C and USB 2.0 ports — enough capacity to charge a Macbook Pro over five times and an iPhone 7 forty times, according to URB-E officials.
“It gives you the freedom of not only transportation but also never having to worry about charging a device again,” said Saunders.
The URB-E Sport has a range of 16 miles, a top speed of 14 mph, weighs 30 lbs., is easy to fold and carry, and comes equipped with the new Eddy power source.
Also rolled out for the first time Wednesday were two other faster and more powerful models: the URB-E Pro and URB-E Pro GT models with a 350-watt rear-wheel drive brushless geared motor and 10” pneumatic tires, capable of riding over wet grass, rugged terrain, loose gravel and dirt.
“Some more off-road capabilities with some larger tires, rear wheel drive and a lot more torque,” explained Saunders.
The URB-E Pro has a range of 20 miles, a top speed of 18 mph, and retails for $1,699.
The more powerful URB-E Pro GT comes with a high performance controller which delivers increased torque and retails for $1,999.
“You can crush through gravel and dirt really well. You basically don’t have to worry about the environment that you’re about to enter into,” said Saunders.
URB-E says it has delivered over 2,500 foldable electric vehicles to customers in 26 countries.
URB-E Pro and URB-E Pro GT can be ordered online at www.urb-e.com, by calling (626) 460-8113, or through the URB-E Flagship Showroom located at 54 West Green Street in Old Pasadena.

As the Central Housing and Planning Authority (CH&PA) moves forward with its Adequate Housing and Urban Accessibility Programme, developmental works for existing housing areas are expected to commence within the first quarter of 2019.
This was disclosed by Director of Projects, CH&PA, Omar Narine, during a press conference held today at the agency’s boardroom.
Director of Projects of the Central Housing and Planning Authority (CH&PA), Omar Narine.
Narine explained that the infrastructure aspect of the project will target CH&PA’s low-income housing areas that have been established but are not fully developed for occupancy.
Areas such as Sophia (A, B, C, D and Cummings Park) to La Bonne Intention (LBI), Eccles, Providence, Peter’s Hall, Barnwell, Moca, Farm, Coven Garden, Herstelling and Grove on East Bank Demerara (E.B.D) including communities within West Bank Demerara (W.B.D) have been selected for upgrades, the Director of Projects said.
CH&PA is “planning to upgrade 34km of asphalt roads, 20km of drainage improvement which includes the construction of concrete drains that is deemed necessary, eight km of sidewalk with the combination of reinforced concrete and pavement stone, the installation of 10 km solar integrated streetlights and the construction of eight recreational centres,” Narine outlined.
Earlier this year, Minister of Communities, Ronald Bulkan expressed the government’s concern regarding the many house lots that have remained vacant over the years. This led to CH&PA’s decision to construct units within areas that have finished infrastructure that would allow for immediate occupancy.
Statistics reveal that between the years 2000 and 2015, of the approximately 66,000, allocations, 28,000 or 45 per cent of lots remain unoccupied. Minister Bulkan said up to the close of the 10th Parliament between 2011 to the mid-2015 period, some 38 schemes were developed across Guyana.
Those housing schemes yielded 20,000 house lots, however, only 4,000 of those have seen units being constructed. For the 38 schemes, a total of $12.8Billion was pumped into their development. They now require a further $16Billion to complete infrastructure works.
Narine stressed that the agency’s pre-criteria for the programme has been approved by IDB and the Ministry of Finance can now attract contractors. “IDB has granted their no objection for the procurement process to be launched within a week. This process will invite local, international and national contractors through an international bidding process… to be engaged in a competitive bidding process,” he explained. An advertisement will soon be made available on the United Nation’s website among other media resources.
The Director of Projects also urged the private sector to prepare to meet the demand of the project as the provision of construction materials is key towards the initiative’s success.
Sophia will be the first area where the developmental upgrades will begin next year, once a comprehensive intervention is concluded.

For many of us, performing well at work requires uninterrupted work time. Whether it’s writing a song, a smartphone app, a proposal for a new client, a business plan or completing a book manuscript, remaining focused for an extended period ensures the job will be done to the best of one’s ability and in the least amount of time.
Human attention is a limited resource, and multiple distractions deplete that resource. The information and communications technology that we use to create our work is increasing the number of interruptions that keep us from completing our work. And the more we consume electronic media, the more difficult we find it to filter out distractions.
Mindfulness meditation can help us to increase our ability to filter out distractions, recent research is finding. And filtering out distractions can greatly increase our focus and productivity at work.
E-mail, text or calendar alerts, telephone calls or in-office visits of co-workers lead us to stop important work and also create delays in our ability to return to that work. In a study conducted by University of Illinois and Microsoft Research, researchers found that information workers took an average of 16 minutes to resume work after responding to an e-mail alert. The workers took an average of 11 to 12 minutes to resume work after responding to an instant message (IM) alert. Granted, those alerts were coming from the same desktop computer the workers were using, and part of the delay was returning to the window where the previous work was being performed. However, 27% of the e-mail and IM responses resulted in a delay of two hours before workers resumed activity in the PC windows they’d been using prior to their response to the alert. And research performed by Microsoft in another study found that 40% of the work interruptions reported by workers were self-initiated.
Meditating one day I realized that I’d get more work done if I could focus my mind entirely on the task at hand. My work was slowed by allowing myself to be interrupted by electronic alerts, and also by worrying about critical “to do’s” (unanswered e-mails, the bio I needed to send before the radio interview, that upcoming Skype meeting, inviting panelists to the upcoming Webinar…). As the demands on my time and attention increase, I find I need to meditate longer to be able to focus.
Meditation research conducted by University of Washington and University of Arizona researchers confirms my experience that meditation can enhance our ability to focus. Specifically, focused attention meditation , a type of mindfulness meditation, led to improvements in the ability of participants to remain focused, ignore distractions , and regulate emotions. In focused attention meditation, meditators maintain their focus on their breath. When distracted by a sound, a thought, or an emotion, they are instructed to return their focus to the in and out of the breath, once they notice that their mind has wandered. The study also suggested that mindfulness meditation may lead to improved memory and reduced stress.
We are increasingly becoming aware of the limits of our mental energy. Human attention is an essential component of the mental processes of perception, memory, and reasoning that much of our work requires. Interruptions divert our mental attention and impede our ability to work. Developing a regular mediation practice could help us learn to limit interruptions and enhance the mental energy we apply to our work.

Today in the creepy part of the Internet: An anonymous seller is offering a vial of what he claims to be deceased president Ronald Reagan's blood though an online auction house based in the Channel Islands, PFCAuctions.
The seller claims that he obtained the vial of blood from his mother, who was once employed by the Bio Science Laboratory in Columbia, Maryland. Reagan's blood was sent there to be tested for lead poisoning after the failed assassination attempt on him outside of the Washington Hilton Hotel in 1981. He says that his mother was granted permission by the lab director to take the vial home.
Understandably, the Reagan Presidential Foundation is pretty mad about all of this. "If indeed this story is true," the foundation's executive director, John Heubusch, said in a statement, "it's a craven act and we will use every legal means to stop its sale or purchase." Something to note, though - the seller claims that they offered it to the foundation, but it was declined because they weren't interested. So, the seller took to auctioning it off, because they feel it's what Reagan would have wanted given his economic policies.
The vial is currently going for about £9181.00, which translates into roughly $14,465.00. So, you know, if you've got that much laying around and are into this sort of stuff...the auction closes on Thursday at 2 pm EST.

With December right around the corner, now is an excellent time to get a jumpstart on holiday shopping. Finding that ideal gift, especially for elderly family members, might seem difficult, but it’s actually surprisingly easy. From FitBit fitness trackers to Silvert’s adaptive clothing, there are plenty of products out there that make perfect gifts for seniors. Here’s a quick look at some of the top holiday gifts for seniors this year.
It’s critical that seniors do their best to remain active on a daily basis. By staying active, seniors can improve their circulation, increase their overall flexibility, and even build up muscle and bone strength as card bg-faded card-block. Seniors looking to stay active might enjoy a fitness tracker like the Misfit Ray. The Ray offers a range of unique features. For instance, it can track distance, calories, steps, and even a user’s sleep patterns. It can receive call alerts and text notifications, and users can set specific alarms, as card bg-faded card-block. It’s also waterproof, and the batteries last for up to six months. This device makes it simple for seniors to track their activities, ranging from quick walks around the block to long-distance runs and swims.
Seniors often have to take a range of different medications on a consistent basis. It can be difficult for anyone—much less seniors—to remember when to take their medication, especially when they’re juggling multiple prescriptions. Medication monitors are ideal for those seniors who have difficulty remembering to take their medications everyday. E-pill offers a range of automatic pill dispensers—including one model that sends text message reminders. And MedMinder carries of a line of dispensers that also work in conjunction via wireless with MedMinder’s main company database—the dispensers transmit data about a user’s dosages and habits consistently, and if there are any abnormalities, a text message or email can be sent directly to a user’s caregiver.
Seniors are often open to using new technologies, but many of the latest smart devices aren’t designed with seniors in mind—they usually boast a range of different and complicated features, which can be intimidating to tech-novices, and the small screens and buttons can be difficult for seniors to use comfortably. GrandPad offers a senior-friendly tablet that features a large screen and equally sizeable buttons, making it easy for seniors to use. Also, navigation is simple, and the tablet features the bare essentials: it allows a user to quickly and simply text, place a call, access photos, send voice-based emails, check the weather, or even play games.
When seniors suffer from hearing loss, it can be difficult for them to watch television programs with low-volume dialogue. However, with TV Ears, seniors with hearing loss can listen to their favorite program without cranking up the volume. The device features headphones, and it links directly to the television, allowing the user to listen to a program at regular volume remotely, even if someone else mutes or lowers the volume on the television.
Seniors who have difficulty falling asleep might appreciate an electric blanket or comfy memory-foam mattress topper, or if they prefer to sleep upright in a chair, they might enjoy a customized seat cushion, as well. Seniors who lack mobility often find it difficult to get dressed in the morning, so some adaptive easy-to-wear clothing from Silvert’smight be appreciated.
Everyone likes to have fun, and seniors always appreciate an entertaining gift or two. Jigsaw puzzles are affordable gifts that can keep you entertained for hours, and senior activity games are great fun too—even for seniors who have limited mobility. Lastly, seniors love to flip through pictures of their family and friends, and Mixbook can create custom photo books, calendars, and canvas prints—simply submit a few pictures, pick the desired format, and they’ll handle the rest.
Who doesn’t enjoy a tasty meal? Personal Chef to Go creates customized meals that can be delivered straight to the home—this service is a great gift for foodie-minded seniors. Or, if you’re looking to do a good deed for seniors in general, you can make a donation to Meals on Wheels, which delivers healthy meals to seniors, or you can volunteer to have lunch with a senior—enjoy a meal and share a story with a senior in need!
Finding an ideal gift for that special senior isn’t that difficult—there are plenty of products and services out there that are designed with seniors in mind. From activity games to fitness trackers, finding that special gift for the senior in your life is a real breeze. Click here to check out another great gift guide from A Place for Mom.

Where on earth is ?home? anyway?
Home. Clearly, this word means different things to different people. It means something different to me now than it did even two weeks ago, and that definition is far different than when I ?left home? last August.
What defines ?home?? Is home where you grew up, or where you feel most comfortable? Is it where you live right now, or is it where your family is? What if your family is all over? Is it where you feel at peace, or is it where you have the most fun? How many different homes can one person claim?
A few trips I?ve taken recently have gotten me thinking about this.
In my iTunes library, there are 41 songs with ?home? in the title, and there are?whoa.
I stopped typing in the middle of that sentence to recount the number of ?home? songs, only to accidentally double-click on the song ?I?m Bringing Home a Baby Bumblebee? by Raffi (a children?s music artist).
Before you finish reading this, go to a computer and look up this song on YouTube. I promise the next paragraphs will be more humorous if you know what I?m talking about.
Instantly, my headphones delivered the following lyrics to my unsuspecting ears, ?I?m bringing home a baby bumblebee. Won?t my mama be so proud of me? ?Cause I?m bringing home a baby bumblebee?buzz a buzz a buzz buzz?ouch! A bee stung me!?
I listened to all 1:54 of the song, only to discover that those are the only lyrics. Repeated. Over and over. With a key change?how fancy. I can?t believe my poor mother had to listen to this song over and over and over and over when I was little.
Anyway. Back to the 41 songs about home. I was interested to see what other people said about the place they considered ?home.? I browsed through parts of some of the songs and found some interesting lyrics.
My friend Paula Carley is a really talented folk singer/songwriter and has a song called ?There?s Just Something About Being At Home.? She describes ?home? as a feeling of peace and contentment: ?When I float in the water at the beach/I can reach the feeling of nothing at all/When I feel comfortably small/stretched out like a melted snow angel/Ohhhhh I am home.?
Switchfoot describes ?home? as a place of belonging in their song ?This Is Home,? ?I?ve been searching/for a place of my own/now I?ve found it/maybe this is home.?
One of my all-time favorite artists, Ingrid Michaelson, has a song about home that?s really beautiful and soulful. It?s called ?Are We There Yet?? and the first stanza sets the mood of the whole song: ?They say that home is where the heart is/I guess I haven?t found my home/And we keep driving ?round in circles/afraid to call this place our home/Are we there yet??
The image of a little kid in the back of a car anxiously asking, ?Are we there yet?? comes to mind. I see the little kid feeling impatient with where he is, physically, and I imagine Ingrid feeling the same way in a more emotional sense.
The second verse has some of my favorite lyrics, ?They say you?re not somebody/Until somebody else loves you/Well, I?m just waiting to make somebody somebody?soon.? In this song, home is with her love, and she doesn?t know who/where that is yet.
For me, this is the bottom line is the same: home is wherever I?m with the people I love.
Sometimes that?s an annoyingly familiar place like Hillsboro, with my wonderful immediate family.
I found out this weekend that it?s also Falls Church, Va.?where my dad grew up, where I?ve spent time as a kid, and where most of my cousins live.
Home is ?The Island??a family spot off the shore of North Carolina (bugs, spiders, slimy fish and lots of laughter).
Home is Denver, with my mom?s mom and sisters and fresh mountain air, where I spent some elementary school years and a lot of time snowboarding.
Home is North Park, with some of the most amazing friends I know I will ever have (yes, that?s you, Elle, Kate, Liz, Helen and KJ).
I wouldn?t say I feel equally ?at home? at each of these places, but they each have certain qualities that feel ?home-like? to me. It?s sort of hard to explain, I guess.
I think that Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes say it best in their song ?Home???Home is wherever I?m with you.?

Afterwards the solution needs to have the ability to provide a choice of licencing either seat or concurrency, with the capacity to improve from seat to concurrency when your business changes and expands.

^ This stanza draws the reader in directly, it encourages him/her to think about your words and makes them curious. I can only speak for myself but I was wondering what caused the speaker to say this.
^ I'd recommend you to put "I love you" in quotation marks. The comparison you chose fits really well to the situation since storms come surprisingly and destroy a lot of things. It is the same with love, its ending is never expected yet when it comes it leaves nothing but pain.
^ The way you continued was really well, especially because once things are over humans tend to remember those things that they should of cherished more when they were to happen still. This stanza also shows that the speaker and the person spoken about were really close otherwise they would not of shared those experiences and moments.
^ This is really heartbreaking because the emotions and words are very powerful. It's a huge responsability to marry, which the speaker was willing to take but now he realized that regardless how much he'd want to do it, it won't happen no more. You also painted a vivd image using "shooting stars" and "ashes". While shooting stars reflect hope, ashes show an ending.
^ This ending is sad as well as positive because on one hand the relationship that was so dear once is over but on the other hand it offers to try new things and walk other paths.
Overall I think that this is a really heartfelt and good poem. It was a pleasure reading because flow and rhyme were good too.

William Green a/k/a "Mac Tuddy," 43, was identified as the source of supply for the ecstasy pills containing methamphetamine and MDMA.

Getting some sun can actually help clear up your acne. Bear in mind that your skin will get drier the more it’s bared to the sun. Be patient, as things might get worse before they get better. Within a few weeks, however, this should clear and you can enjoy your clearer skin.
Do not mix acne cream. A lot of people in a flurry to stop acne tend to mix many lotions thinking one may work better than the other. While one acne cream may contain a small amount of a harsh ingredient that doesn’t hurt your skin, combining it with harsh chemicals in other creams may create a synergistic effect that damages your skin.
When it seems that your acne will never go away, see if natural facial products make a positive difference. A lot of the products in stores have chemicals which are harsh on your skin and can cause additional problems. This will cause the pores to become block, which, in turn, causes more acne. Using the natural products will aid the skin in its healing because of the antibacterial properties they contain.
The amazing, antioxidant powers of garlic can be used in your fight against acne. Garlic helps to purge the toxins in your body and make way for new skin to develop. Spread garlic on savory foods to provide your body with strong antioxidant defense against acne.
Zinc is a great vitamin for preventing and treating acne, because it decreases free radicals from forming under your skin. Cystic acne can be reduced to a few bumps by taking zinc supplements each day.

You should cleanse your face routinely, particularly after a strenuous workout. If it’s hard to cleanse your face when not at home, you can take some cleansing wipes with you. These will wipe away your basic bacteria. It isn’t necessary to use a new cleanser every morning.
Hydration is essential for skin health, especially if you suffer from acne. Drink a lot of water everyday. At a minimum, 6-8 glasses are required each day. These cells, if left on the skin, can clog pores and cause skin problems.
Reducing stress will put you in a better position to control acne. Stress produces hormones that are not only bad for your overall health and body, they also wreak havoc on skin. You can reduce stress in many ways, like yoga or even listening to music. Stress can cause acne flare ups, so make sure to keep your stress levels under control.
Try the hints that are appropriate to your skin situation and begin taking charge of your skin today. The skin choices you make will have a large effect on your skin’s quality. As you begin to free yourself from acne, you will notice improvements in your confidence and self-esteem.

The only one of its kind in the Marche region, the Balì Science-Center is laid out in an exhibition space of 2000 squared meters and is second in Italy in terms of its size and the quality of its facilities.
With the exception of the Observatory, this Science-Center is handicap accessible.

ROME – A Catholic priest was among at least 68 people arrested May 15 in the southern Italian region of of Calabria and accused of extortion, illegal arms possession, fraud, and association with the local mafia.
The victims are migrants, who were exploited and mistreated by the very organizations set up to protect them. Criminal organizations have been controlling the Sant’Anna migrant center, the largest in Italy, holding up to 1500 people.
Operation “Jonny” was conducted by Italy’s three main police forces – Polizia di Stato (the civilian state police), Guardia di Finanza (the finanical police), and Carabinieri (the police branch of the military) – and it aimed to dismantle the racket led by the Arena clan, part of the ‘Ndrangheta crime syndicate.
“Today’s operation confirms that where there is power or money the ‘Ndrangheta pops up in order to exploit the needs even of the desperate,” said Nicola Gratteri, chief prosecutor of Catanzaro, Calabria’s capital.
The events took place at Isola di Capo Rizzuto, a small commune in Calabria, a region that is notably under the influence of the ‘Ndrangheta, considered one of the most powerful and violent criminal organizations in the world.
The Arena clan allegedly has been siphoning off state funds destined for migrants since 2009. According to the prosecutor’s office. about one third of the allocated $109 million ended up in the pockets of the Arena clan and their cronies.
Among the 68 imprisoned are the two main coordinators of the constant flow of migrants from Africa and the Middle East in the region.
Father Edoardo Scordio is the founder of the Confraternity of Mercy, which was established 25 years ago to cater to the needs of migrants, and runs the migrant center.
Though Scordio entertained friendly relations with the law enforcement in the area, he has been known to officiate at important religious events for the Arena clan.
Reports show that he received $145,000 for “spiritual services” this year alone.
Leonardo Sacco, vice president of the Confraternity, is the number two in the scheme.
Despite the drop in tourism in the Calabria region, Sacco’s boating company has been thriving, earning more than $1 million this year.
Sacco won the public funding for the care of migrants in the area, receiving around $24 million.
Since then Sacco and Scordio have been buying expensive properties in the region, as well as investing in airlines and news agencies.
“The priest, the governor, and the Arena (clan) fatten on the skin of these poor people and buy theaters, villas, and whatever,” Gratteri said.
The investigation shows that beyond the extortion and embezzlement from the migrant center, the Arena clan also participated in many activities tied to gambling.
Operation “Jonny” takes place in the midst of allegations that NGOs are cooperating with human traffickers off the Libyan coast in order to bring the largest number of migrants into Italy possible.
According to the EU border patrol agency Frontex, the care of migrants in Italy and in Europe has grown to become a multi-billion dollar business.
Recent discoveries show a tie between some of the Doctors Without Borders boats in the Mediterranean and human traffickers.
Asked about this issue on his return flight from Fatima in Portugal, Pope Francis took a cautious approach in line with other pronouncements by Church leaders in regards to the allegations.
The Catholic Church and NGOs that cooperate with the Vatican have remained, so far, unscathed by the allegations. But the recent events in Calabria shed light on the unhappy tie between Catholic institutions and criminal organizations.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s government embraced a plan phase out all 84 of her country’s coal-fired power plants over the next 19 years as part of the country’s plan to shift to green power in the name of global warming.
Despite the government welcoming the plan, there are serious questions about how realistic it is and what it would actually accomplish in terms of its ultimate goal — fighting future global warming.
The decision to shutter coal plants came after a government-appointed commission released a report Saturday that laid out a roadmap for power plant closures.
The report also recommended giving $45.7 billion to communities that would lose out from less coal being used for power.
Germany has been trying to wean itself off coal for years, pumping hundreds of billions of dollars into subsidies and other programs to beef up green energy.
The country also wants to reduce emissions to meet Paris Agreement goals on carbon emissions.
If all goes to plan, Germany will decrease its coal capacity from roughly 42 gigawatts today to 30 gigawatts by the end of 2022, then to 17 gigawatts by 2030.
Is Germany making a drastic mistake?
By 2038, all Germany’s coal plants will be closed, according to the plan.
Should Germany be successful — and there are serious doubts — carbon dioxide emissions will almost assuredly decrease, but the question is, will the plan have any measurable impact on future warming?
As things stand now, the answer is a resounding “no.” That’s because Germany is only a small portion of global coal consumption that’s dwarfed by energy-hungry developing countries.
Eliminating 42 gigawatts of coal capacity over two decades is equivalent to what India added to its coal fleet over a four-year period, 2013 to 2017, according to University of Colorado professor Roger Pielke Jr.
China alone has more than 210 gigawatts of coal power under construction or planned, according to a June 2018 report by Carbon Brief.
India has another 131 gigawatts planned or under construction, and Turkey has more than 42 gigawatts in the pipeline.

Banksters Are Manipulating Bitcoin Too & and is it JFK Payback Time?!
Yes, the Banksters have computers that can rig even the Bitcoin markets! Don’t get me wrong, I think Bitcoin will rise to tens of thousands of dollars in the near future but it won’t be a smooth ride. The moment the Senate meeting concluded Bitcoin shot up and then was slammed down by some unexplainable force. We’ve seen this a million times in SILVER! This force was claimed to be just an over reaction by “speculators” on the previous rise but I don’t buy that argument. This was a planned and executed attack on the Bitcoin price by the Banking Cabal in order to shake out the weak hands. Most likely, the US Treasury used some of their 174,336 Bitcoins seized from the Silk Road raid and others to slam the market and clog the Bitcoin trading systems…thus the crash.
But after every smash Bitcoin will become more and more “anti-fragile” so if you have a couple coins just hang on tight.
*Just a note on the significance of FRIDAY November 22, 2013. It was 50 years ago Friday that the Bad Guys took out John F. Kennedy due in part to his attempt to take down the Banking Cabal by issuing Silver Backed US Dollars.
There are many Good Guys who STILL want their pound of flesh from the Banking Cabal for their attack on our President. 50 Years is a long time to wait but it sure feels like something is about to happen…maybe a little symbolic payback?!
So keep an eye out for “Silver Fireworks” on Friday.

Injuries sustained by children during the birthing process range from minor to fatal. Regardless of the severity, any medical malpractice needs to be taken care of seriously and immediately.
We apologize if this is something that you have to deal with. We understand that compensation can never replace anything bad that happened to your child, but you are entitled to a fair settlement and deserve to be taken care of. Consult with a personal injury lawyer immediately to find out your rights and next steps.

The Victorians were a clever lot. They gave us steam trains, stamps, photographs, and the first public flushing toilet. But they were also rather accident-prone. A bit like letting a child play with matches in a firework factory, the Victorians had a lot of dangerous chemicals at their fingertips. In the days before health and safety, their idea of protection was to print a skull and crossbones on a bottle of arsenic. The flaw with this plan was that they then happily sold the same arsenic over the counter as rat bait, often with dire consequences.
Let’s take a look at a world where appearances were everything and safety came second. It was the 19th century, and the Victorians found some pretty weird ways of accidentally doing away with themselves.
Rather than 50 Shades of Gray, the Victorians were passionate about the color green. In fact, green wallpaper was to the home what an iPad Air is to tablets. This love of green came about because of the end of the window tax and gas lamps. With natural light flooding in during the day and better light at night, the Victorians unleashed their inner passion for bright colors.
The fashionable color to dress the walls with wasn’t just any green. It had to be a lush shade called Scheele’s Green. Not only was it bright, but it resisted fading—an extra boon. The dark side of this colorful wall dressing was that it slowly poisoned people. Copper arsenite, an arsenic derivative, gave it the rich color. Breathing air polluted with arsenic vapor had the potential to kill . . . and often did.
Whole families ailed and died, with children especially at risk. The signs of arsenic poisoning were similar to diphtheria, so many politicians remained skeptical of the danger. And those doctors who did voice concern about arsenic were often publicly ridiculed, especially by companies producing the wallpaper!
It took until 1903 for arsenic compounds to be forbidden as a food additive, but the use of arsenic in wallpaper was never formally banned.
Roman mothers used hollow horns to feed their babies, and baby bottles were nothing new in Victorian times. What was new was a special glass bottle fitted with rubber tubing and a teat. The idea was the infant sucked on the rubber tube, like sucking cola through a straw.
These bottles were backed by a popular marketing campaign and given names such as “The Little Cherub” or “The Princess.” Mothers loved how an infant could feed themselves; it was a source of great pride. These feeding bottles became the go-to accessory for the modern Victorian mother—but with deadly consequences.
There was a basic design flaw: The rubber tubing was set into the glass and nearly impossible to clean. Inside the bottle, warm milk made it the perfect breeding ground for bacteria. The advice given by Mrs. Beeton, the household guru of the day, didn’t help. Writing in 1861, she declared it wasn’t necessary to wash the bottles for two to three weeks.
The result was babies drinking a soup of bacteria, often with fatal consequences. Indeed, the bottles soon gained another name: “murder bottles.” This, along with the condemnation of doctors, should have stopped their use. But it didn’t. Sadly, many mothers were taken in by advertising and continued using them regardless.
The Victorians just couldn’t get the balance right. Take hygiene, for example. On the one hand, they used dirty baby bottles, and on the other, they came up with the saying, “Cleanliness is next to Godliness.” Top this off with new theories about germs causing infection, and the urge to clean became obsessive. So they poisoned themselves with carbolic acid.
Every household had caustic soda or carbolic acid, used as cleaners, in a cupboard somewhere. But therein lay the problem. These deadly products came in packaging that was identical to other household items, including foods.
It was easy to confuse one box with another and accidentally poison the cakes. In September 1888, this is exactly what happened when carbolic acid was mistaken for baking soda. Thirteen people became sick, and five died.
It was another 14 years before the Pharmacy Act made it illegal for chemicals to be stored in similar bottles to ordinary items.
It’s almost as if the Victorians wanted to die!
With the Industrial Revolution, cities started to expand. This meant supplying households with water. Reservoirs were built to supply standpipes in the poorer districts or houses in affluent areas.
However, much of that water traveled along lead piping, picking up the deadly toxin as it went. Interestingly, it is from the Latin word for lead, plumbum, that we derive the term “plumbing.” What makes this all the more ironic is that in 1847 and 1848, the British government wrote laws making it a criminal offense to pollute drinking water.
But the danger didn’t end with water. Lead was added to paint to stop it from flaking and to make the colors vivid. The Victorians slathered lead paint over furniture, cots, and even children’s toys. When children gnawed on their cribs or chewed on toys, they accidentally poisoned themselves.
Laudanum was the Victorian equivalent of aspirin. It was a cure-all that settled nerves, eased pain, and ensured restful sleep. The only problem was that laudanum is a syrup of opium.
Laudanum was available from any pharmacy to buy, and it was affordable at around 25 drops for one penny. While the wealthy looked down on the poor as laudanum addicts, they failed to see their own dependence and merrily imbibed this addictive cordial. Laudanum was widely marketed to women to ease their ailments, such as menstrual cramps and “hysteria.” Ironically, it’s possible laudanum that was taken by women to ease the symptoms of arsenic poisoning by their green wallpaper!
Of course, opium is addictive. This meant people became dependent on the feelings of euphoria it created and took more and more. The alternative was to withdraw, with the typical symptoms of tremors, hallucinations, and sweats. With the doses unregulated and laudanum freely available, overdose was common.
The Victorians judged by appearance. They tended to link white to purity, and whiter meant better. They had an obsession with white bread. With all the nasty wheat germ and bran taken out, they looked on white bread as pure and healthy. By some twisted logic, adding a chemical whitener—alum—made it even better.
Compounds referred to as alum are double sulfate salts of metals like aluminum or chromium. Traditionally, alum was used in the medieval wool trade to fix dyes and was later used in styptic pencils. It doesn’t even sound like it would be healthy.
Sadly, alum has no nutritional value. The addition of alum robbed the poor, for whom bread was a staple of goodness, and led to malnutrition. Indeed, it contributed to a range of deficiency-related diseases. Worse even than that, alum irritates the bowel wall and can cause long-term stomach upsets or constipation. For small children, this was a step too far and caused deaths.
Boracic acid belongs to a family of mild acids which include borax and boric acid. They are mostly used today in insecticides. Doesn’t make it sound a great addition to milk, does it? However, here we find home guru Mrs. Beeton raising her hand again.
In the days before pasteurization and fridges, milk could contain harmful bacteria and go bad quickly. To prevent this, Mrs. Beeton advised the addition of boracic acid to milk as a preservative. It also had the benefit of sweetening the flavor slightly and removing any sour, tainted taste.
The effects of boracic acid on adults are usually mild, such as nausea, stomach cramps and diarrhea. However, the chemical hid the taste of turned milk, meaning many people drank what wasn’t fit for consumption—with upsetting consequences. For children, too much boracic acid can cause seizures, neurological problems, and even death—in the very group most in need of the health-giving benefits of milk.
At the beginning of the 19th century, candles were either made from tallow or beeswax. The former burned with a sooty flame and smelled bad, while the latter were expensive. But a new process formulated in 1810 changed this.
A French scientist, Michel Chevreul, hit on a way of separating tallow and adding a secret ingredient which made for cheap, high-quality candles. Although banned in his native France, these candles took off big-time in England. The craze for these compound candles peaked in 1835 and 1836.
However, one night, a professor of chemistry was working late by the light of his new candle. He smelled a garlic odor coming from the melted wax and became suspicious. He knew arsenic compounds had a garlic-like smell and correctly identified the secret ingredient as arsenic. Professor Everitt ran tests, confirmed his suspicion, and made his deadly findings public. Writing in The Lancet, he described these new products as “corpse candles” because of their deadly vapor.
After candlelight, one can only imagine how magical gas lighting must have appeared in the 19th century. However, it was not without considerable risks. The Victorians used mostly coal gas for their gaslights, which was a cocktail of hydrogen, sulfur, methane, and carbon monoxide.
This mix was a deadly, with hazards including suffocation and carbon monoxide poisoning, plus the risk of explosion. Indeed, the image of a wilting Victorian lady suffering a fit of the vapors may be due in part to a slow leak of carbon monoxide into a sitting room, coupled with wearing a tight corset.
Victorian doctors worked within the medical knowledge of the day. Most medical procedures were based on trying to restore balance to the body. Thus, laxatives, purges, and leeches were popular as a means of draining foul humors. Also, doctors believed small doses of poison had medicinal properties.
The majority of the time, patients survived despite treatment, not because of it. However, occasionally, the medics hit on something by accident, like prescribing cigarettes to asthmatics. The active ingredient, arsenic (again!), was transported in a tobacco that contained a natural derivative of atropine—which opens up the airways. So the patients did improve, but not for the reason the doctors thought.
It’s generally not a good idea to coat the walls of your home with a deadly bacterium. But that’s what the Victorians did—albeit rarely.
Prior to gypsum plaster, walls were lined with lime plaster. This was a mix of lime strengthened with animal hair from goats, cattle, sheep, or horses. While anthrax wasn’t common in Victorian England, it did occur. Products from infected animals, such as skin, hair, or wool, were then a possible source of infection for people.
People can pick up anthrax through the skin abrasions or inhaling it, so let’s hope the hair from a few infected animals never made it as far as wall plaster.
Dr. Pippa Elliott is a veterinarian who is passionate about animals and history. At school, she was described as a “Trivia Queen,” and this is something she has never grown out of.
