Recently I had the opportunity to sit and take a look at my 10 year relationship with my husband, and I discovered, thanks to my parents, that I didn’t know a thing. My parents have been married for 45 years and thanks to their long time together, they’ve discovered some secrets to a happy and long-lasting relationship like theirs. So, I sat with them one evening and wrote down a few tips that ended up literally changing my life and so, today, I choose to share them with you.
Some couples spend years trying to change each other’s opinions, but to no avail, because most of our opinions are based on our past and define who we are. Trying to do this is dangerous and can lead to the loss of the relationship if you don’t know how to deal with opposing opinions. My parents say that what helped them get through this difficult hurdle is acceptance of the other – they understand that problems and disagreements are an integral part of a long-term relationship, like medical problems that arise over the years as they get older.
They recommend looking at it so simply because, like medical problems, we may not want them, however, we can still deal with them, and this is also true of differences between partners. My parents claim that this is part of the fun of a long-term relationship because my partners come with a basket of values, beliefs, and opinions that will come forth over the years, even after 45 years of marriage. Therefore, remember to accept each other as you are, to know that you agree to disagree, and not demand that your partner change for – these are the keys to a happy and long-standing relationship.
Most of the problems that arise in relationships, small or large as they may be, stem from lack of communication. This gap is important to prevent from the beginning of the relationship, and according to my parents, it can be done in two simple ways; One is to understand that our spouse isn’t a mind reader and can’t understand what is going on in our heads if we don’t say it aloud.
The second way is to listen to understand and not to respond, meaning you have to open your ears when your partner talks to you, listen and accept things without passing judgment. For these tips to work, you need to put your phone aside, turn your body towards your partner, look them deep in the eyes and try to put yourself in their shoes. Through these simple actions, you show each other that you are 100% attentive and want to hear what your partner has to say without reacting and judging. It is very important that you understand that creating such a safe and secure environment can only help develop, grow and improve your relationship to pure happiness.
We all want to feel loved and admired, this is human nature, but it can hurt our self-confidence and emotional strength if these are the only things we yearn for. My parents explain that if your happiness depends on your partner’s acceptance and approval, then you are investing more energy than you should be in it. The key to success is knowing how to cultivate your inner self and then bring it into the relationship. The only confirmation you need is you.
Take a deep breath and remind yourself that you don’t have to justify who you are to anyone, not even your spouse. Remember that you can choose your own reality and have the power to decide how to divide your time and energy. My parents claim that once you feel that you don’t have to justify yourself to anyone – when you trust who you are – you are freer to give and receive love from the heart.
It is very rare to find a relationship without arguments, and when a particular disagreement is observed, most people tend to escape it rather than deal with it. This escape is done naturally by most of us, but my parents explain that it is necessary to stop and understand that it’s not about us and whether we are able to deal with disagreements or not, rather it touches on our relationship and what it needs to continue to grow and flourish in the long run.
When you are in conflict with your partner, a simple and effective way to conduct a discussion is to avoid using the word “you” and replace it with “I”. This will make conversations about the differences in the relationship more pleasant. For example, instead of saying “you are wrong,” say, “I didn’t understand.” Instead of saying “you always,” say, “I often feel.” Remember that relationships grow and develop when both people are able to share their inner thoughts and feelings in a positive way.

SAN DIEGO, California – Peter Jackson has been a gamer his entire life, so when Microsoft hired him to produce the movie version of Halo, there was genuine excitement in the air.
The buzz grew as fans, and Hollywood, questioned Jackson's choice of first-time director Neill Blomkamp to helm the big-budget project. But that ultimately became a moot point. As the movie budget escalated and the demands by Microsoft increased, not even a pair of giant Hollywood studios could afford to foot the bill for the big screen version of Halo. But fate stepped in and Jackson ended up creating an original sci-fi film with District 9.
Gamers will get to see a sci-fi collaboration between producer Jackson and co-writer/director Blomkamp this summer with Tristar Pictures' District 9. Rather than basing the film on a hit game, the duo created an original alien story and filmed it documentary-style. Jackson was on hand at Comic-Con to screen the film and talk about how Halo begat District 9.
Jackson and Blomkamp were going to bring Microsoft's Halo videogame franchise to the big screen, but when Hollywood bailed on Microsoft's demands, the duo ended up creating District 9, which opens August 14.
"Well, I believe in fate. And a lot of times in my career I've just let fate decide what happens," said Jackson. "I don't try to influence things too much. ‘Cause I kind of believe in some weird force that's out there, sort of deciding what happens in your life. And I just look back on it and think, well fate made a decision that it wasn't gonna be Halo that we made, it was gonna be District 9. 'Cause it literally happened within 24 hours. I mean, we woke up one morning thinking we were making Halo. That day we got the news that the studios, Fox and Universal, didn't want to make the film anymore."
When asked exactly what happened with the Halo film, Jackson replied, "It wasn't like the studios didn't want to make it with us, they just didn't want to make Halo anymore because they were arguing amongst themselves and with Microsoft and the rights and the deals and everything else. It was all these little politics that were kicking in."
District 9 is set in South Africa and focuses on a quarantined area where aliens have been kept for 30 years. The film literally took shape the same day that Jackson's Halo was scrapped.
"During the course of that day, 'cause we were all in New Zealand together…Neill had been working on Halo for five or six months, we decided to take control of our own lives a little bit and we thought, ‘Well, let's make an original movie. Let's keep it low budget. Let's try to finance it independently so we don't have to get involved with studio politics,'" explained Jackson. "It's sort of, do something that we can control without putting ourselves into a Halo situation again. And that's what happened. And so by the end of that day, we had lost Halo but we had started District 9."
Jackson is best known to fans for adapting the Lord of the Rings trilogy to films. He's currently producing Guillermo del Toro's Hobbit film adaptations. Jackson, who is an avid gamer, equates books and videogame adaptations on the same level.
"If it's a book or a videogame, even though you've had the experience of reading or playing that story, it's affected you, and now you can imagine it as a film," said Jackson.
"I also see the role of video games as one that will continue to command respect and attention due to the improved graphics, forms of narrative, interactive capabilities, and ways of immersion."
Jackson, who has worked with Ubisoft on the King Kong videogame and currently has a deal with Microsoft to create original games through WETA Interactive, believes that intrinsically, most videogames, and virtually all movies, do one basic thing: tell stories.
As game technology improves, Jackson believes games will become even more cinematic experiences. One result of HD graphics and advances in sound will be the sharing of digital assets between game developers and filmmakers, which will create more authentic representations of movie-based games.
One of the big themes at Comic-Con this year was the explosion of 3-D films, including the new TRON and Avatar movies. Jackson is interested in embarking in the third dimension with future projects.
"I personally love 3-D," said Jackson. "I love the fact that it's become a much more gentle experience than it used to be. It always had this kind of eye strain and lack of quality associated with it. It was sort of gimmicky and difficult. But now it's technically become easier and it's also much more…it doesn't give you bad headaches anymore. And I think 3-D is just another really great tool to help an audience step into the movie."
"When I'm a filmmaker, I try to make movies that invite the audience to step into the film and to become part of the world of the film, if I can," added Jackson. "Rather than be an audience, I try to take that barrier away so you're not just sitting watching something like a sports event on a TV screen. You're actually participating. I try to shoot my scenes in a way and move the camera around in a way that sort of invites you into the movie to some degree. And 3-D is just a tool that makes that easier. It makes it more vibrant. I haven't shot a feature in 3-D yet, but I'm certainly looking forward to doing that."
Fans can see Jackson's latest directing venture, The Lovely Bones starring Mark Wahlberg, on the big screen December 11.

When your business is enabling authenticated payments and its birthdate begins with the numbers ‘1’ and ‘9’, you know a few things about meeting customer needs in an ever-changing marketplace CardinalCommerce co-founder and CEO Tim Sherwin said.
CardinalCommerce offers flexible authentication methods based on a configurable rules engine situated in its Centinel Platform. It allows the customer to select which transactions to authenticate based on a filter set that controls fraud and maximizes sales.
Since CardinalCommerce was founded in 1999 the industry has seen several significant shifts that have impacted the relationship between customers, merchants and payment processors, Mr. Sherwin said. One is the challenge of providing a positive identification of a cardholder online.
Old payment systems were impacted as merchants had to conduct transactions without a customer signature, he explained. When a purchase was disputed the merchant was always liable.
CardinalCommerce has a solution for that, Mr. Sherwin said. Its 3-D Secure allows for real time authentication of a cardholder before the transaction is authorized. Version 2.0 is an updated protocol set that authenticates CNP transactions to eliminate fraud and false positives with frictionless checkout. It enables merchants and card issuers to use what each knows about the consumer, along with hundreds of data points, to make informed risk decisions.
That’s a clear improvement over earlier industry efforts where a merchant would electronically redirect the cardholder to banks for authentication or force the customer to enroll in a program and create a profile in the checkout line.
“That stopped fraud and protected the merchant, but they were reluctant to deploy it because the friction resulted in lost sales,” Mr. Sherwin said.
A better solution allows parties to select their preferred authentication methods, he explained. Redirection can seamlessly occur during the transaction, with risk models gathering information including IP addresses to make an informed decision. Some merchants choose an authentication method based on how much they are comfortable with impacting the user experience. Others lean more heavily on data modeling.
CardinalCommerce is also approaching the first anniversary of its purchase by Visa, Mr. Sherwin said. Announced in December 2016 and completed in February 2017, the move is a great one for CardinalCommerce for many reasons. A legion of Visa salespeople now tout CardinalCommerce solutions to their existing customer base.
The two companies are actively working on tokenization concepts.
“The key is how to replace systems without the consumer having to do something,” Mr. Sherwin explained.
CardinalCommerce and Visa are also focusing on the best ways to leverage the large volumes of data companies now have to improve the digital commerce experience, Mr. Sherwin said. In 2016 roughly nine per cent of sales were completed online, a percentage that is expected to grow to 20 per cent by 2020. Visa’s share of retail spend is 15 per cent, a figure that nearly triples to 43 per cent online.
Yet both decline and fraud rates are growing faster than spending, problems that must be quickly addressed, Mr. Sherwin said.
When shoppers aren’t physically in front of a merchant, issuers often have no idea if the person making the transaction is the same as the name on the card. Older infrastructure cannot support the new data methods, so new solutions are needed. 3-D Secure 2.0 tackles those issues by making transactions more frictionless without interrupting CX, Mr. Sherwin said. It incorporates more data without relying on the consumer’s browser to authenticate more than 95 per cent of transactions behind the scenes.
CardinalCommerce and Visa are also working on IoT solutions, Mr. Sherwin said.
Mr. Sherwin said he has seen industry focus shift a few times over the 18 years he has been with CardinalCommerce. Early on there was a game between merchants and issuers looking to shift liability for fraud and chargebacks. As digital commerce became more prominent the focus shifted to approvals.
With the advent of the EMV chip, fraud migrated online and the impact of being deemed responsible for the declined transaction of a good customer began to be felt. Half the time the customer blamed the retailer. When declined at Retailer A, they went to Retailer B who may have used different protocols. If approved by Retailer B they often moved their business to them. If Card A was declined at a retailer but Card B was approved, Card A was less likely to be used.
“User experience is now more of a collaboration of the ecosystem,” Mr. Sherwin said.

Discussion in 'Classic Menswear' started by TheSuitBurnsBetter, Mar 29, 2019.
Hey everyone! I'm new to Styleforum (but some of you may know me from Instagram) and was excited to find so many people on here from the greater-DC area. Yet, there doesn't seem to be a DC (and MD and VA, too, of course) thread, so here it is!
To get things started, I finally got a chance to check out Sid Mashburn in Georgetown for the first time (I know @smittycl is a fan). Beautiful store, really helpful staff, sadly didn't have many short-sized jackets. But I picked up a lightweight chambray dress shirt that's getting the sleeves shortened/narrowed and waist taken in (which they do for free). Also picked up this cotton/linen pocket square.
What have you folks around our nation's capital been into as of late? Been to any good stores or had a great made-to-measure experience? Have a hot tip on where you get your alterations done? Post em here!
Excellent idea! I was toying with the same thing and am glad you started this!
I just commissioned an MTM three-piece with @EzraPaul in a Minnis Fresco I sourced here on B&S. Had another bolt of cloth from Fox Bros and it's currently with Steed. They visit DC regularly from the UK.
My fav menswear stores here are Sid Mashburn, Billy Reid, and Barbour in Georgetown. Paul Stuart and Sky Valet shoes in City Center. Ermenegildo Zegna and Paul Stuart outlets up in Clarksburg whenever I'm up that way.
Any idea what Ezra's turnaround time looks like for their MTM?
Around four weeks I think. I "@" him in my post. Very positive experience so far!
Yes, consistently 4 weeks or less. In your case it'll be a hair longer since we had to ship the fabric to Italy. Excited to see your suit!
TheSuitBurnsBetter, you'll have to drop by again soon now that the weather is finally turning!
As soon as I sell this damn jacket, I'm there!
Out of curiosity, how many yards of fabric does one need to to make a 2-piece suit in roughly a 36S size?
About 3.25yds for standard solid. A little more for larger repeat patterns, db, and patch pockets (rarely done a suit).
The best thing about buying clothes in DC is . . . we're only four hours away from NYC.
I haven't bought clothes from a B&M in several years (all my recent purchases have been from NMWA/Epaulet/18 East/Mr. Porter), but I really like Sid Mashburn and his Italian x Southern Prep aesthetic. I met the man himself a few years ago when he had a pop-up in Union Market and was deciding whether to open a store here. He is a delightful person, just a good old boy from Mississippi who loves clothing.
I haven't done bespoke or MTM suits, so can't provide any insight there. I have bought a few dress shirts from traveling HK tailor W.W. Chan, which visits DC every few months and sets up shop in a local hotel. Shirts are nice and slim and vastly superior to what you can buy RTW.
For tailoring, I used to use Will Field, who is very good if you like his house look (severe waist suppression). He is pricey and not that fast to turn around work, and his shop is in upper Georgetown, far away from my apartment. I've heard that he requires appointments in advance as well. So I started going to Christopher Kim, who is also quite expensive, but finishes jobs faster and is much closer. I have been happy with his work thus far.
There will be no mention of that other city on this thread, dammit!
Smashburn may be the first time 7 or 8 years that I've gotten a shirt from a B&M (I've been getting nearly all of mine from eHaberdasher for a while). But I'd been drinking most of the afternoon and was feeling profligate.
For my alterations I go to Ihsan Dura at Linea Pitti near Dupont. The shop is full of unfortunate looking rental tuxes but his work is superb and extremely quick.
I agree that NYC is the place to go. DC pales in comparison unfortunately. Kim does good work.
Hmm . . . I had no idea Sky Valet was moving to City Center. Anyone know why? I'm not in the market for shoes, but the relocation will make it much easier for me to drop off and pick up resoling jobs.
I agree with Ambulance Chaser. I have spurned DC B&M stores and focus my efforts on NYC. Does this thread have to be about Brick and Mortar stores? Can we talk about restaurant, bars, and live music venues as well?
I've been keeping it on the dl, but I'm opening a new store at the end of April and I'd be happy to host another meetup in May or June, after the dust settles? It'd be fun to put faces to names (or handles). Straw poll of those that'd be interested?
I vote for a more expansive thread. I’m interested in restaurant and cocktail bar recs.

T-Mobile announced that it will rebrand its prepaid service, MetroPCS, as “Metro by T-Mobile” in an attempt to tell customers that the brand is powered by T-Mobile’s network.
In conjunction with the rebranding effort, T-Mobile’s prepaid service will also refresh its pricing options to include Google One cloud storage services and an Amazon Prime account with its $60-per-month unlimited option.
Tom Keys, president of Metro by T-Mobile, said the rebranding is an attempt to separate the old MetroPCS brand—which only offered CDMA service in roughly a dozen U.S. cities before T-Mobile acquired it in 2013—from the new brand, which piggybacks on T-Mobile’s LTE network.
Importantly, Keys said T-Mobile initiated its MetroPCS rebranding effort roughly a year ago—prior to the April merger agreement between Sprint and T-Mobile—and that the rebranding will move forward regardless of whether the merger is successful. Regulators are currently reviewing the Sprint and T-Mobile merger proposal, and the companies hope to consummate the transaction early next year.
“We had no network attribution in our brand,” Keys said, acknowledging that MetroPCS has suffered from that situation for years.
Nonetheless, MetroPCS appears to have flourished following its acquisition by T-Mobile in 2013. The brand’s customer base has grown from around 8 million in 2013 to fully 18 million today, likely due to the fact that T-Mobile is selling the brand nationwide (instead of in a handful of cities) across 10,000 retail locations.
Prior to its purchase of MetroPCS, T-Mobile operated the GoSmart prepaid brand, but the company sold that brand and the Walmart Family Mobile brand to TracFone.

The organiser of the 2019 Manchester Pride Festival has revealed a new format for this year’s event, along with a new home for the festival’s live music experience.
The Festival, which takes place over four days in Manchester city centre every August Bank Holiday, August 23-26, has revealed a new format which will be made up of six key elements, extending the reach of the LGBT+ event. The location of the event’s new live music element, to be named Manchester Pride Live, has also been revealed. The ticketed event, which replaces what was known as The Big Weekend, will take place at Mayfield, close to Piccadilly Station.
The new home for Manchester Pride Live is part of a 24-acre regeneration site which will eventually see the creation of a new neighbourhood for Manchester, including residential, commercial and leisure space, as well as new city park. Parts of the site, including the railway arches and depot, have been brought back into use through a range of events including a weekly street-food fair and a host of one-off events including private functions, weddings and two events from the Manchester International Festival programme for 2018.
Manchester Pride Festival 2019 will be made up of Manchester Pride Live, the Candlelit Vigil, the Superbia Weekend, the Gay Village Gathering, Manchester Pride Parade and Youth Pride MCR. As a result of feedback from a widespread consultation in 2018, specific offerings are also being developed for family, BAME LGBT+ people and women-only events. Focus groups will be held in coming months to engage with those who want to be involved in shaping these new events.
To keep festivalgoers safe, Manchester Pride has committed more than £300,000 of investment into the reimagined Gay Village site, which has undergone much change as a result of development in the area over the past five years. It will remain a ticketed part of the festival and will be a focal point for the celebratory weekend.

Core: muscles stabilize the transfer of forces across the body as you generate an enormous amount of power from a stationary position.
Hips: generate power through rotation.
Lower body: facilitate the transition from backswing to follow through using a pivot motion.
What underlies all these moving parts is range of motion! Compromised range of motion at any point in the body, including any of the spinal joints, is going to hurt your golf game; this is where chiropractic steps in. At Family Chiropractic and Natural Healing Center, we create unique treatment plans for golfers that treat their bodies on the basis of their sport.
The coordination between body and brain required by golf is unmatched by most other sports. Chiropractic helps us optimize this connection so that we can get the most out of each moving part. From spinal adjustment to trigger point therapy, we relieve tension throughout the musculature and nervous system to help you find a more fluid swing. If you are interested in adding chiropractic care to your golf bag this spring, give our office in Milpitas a call to schedule an appointment today.

Once upon a time, I was a supervisor in a customer service call center. To make it easier for supervisors to remain connected to the borg, er, their team, each of us had a laptop. The laptops were standard issue black bricks which could probably withstand being dropped off the roof of a building.
So I did what any self-respecting crafter would do - I made mine way cooler.
Because the laptop wasn't actually mine, I needed to make sure the cover could be removed in the event I needed to switch laptops or stopped working there. You can make your own laptop cover, too, for less than $2 (assuming you have Mod Podge on hand).
Clean your laptop to remove dirt, oil, etc and ensure that the contact paper will adhere well.
Lay the contact paper over the laptop and trim to the right length and width. Be sure to leave enough extra to wrap over the edges. Remember that you can always trim away excess but you can't add more later.
Use a small pair or scissors or an exacto knife to carefully cut notches as needed for any moving parts. My laptop had hinges on the back as well as an unlock slide on the front edge that needed to be cut around. Once the contact paper is nice and smooth on the back and wrapped around the edges, trim away any excess to make it pretty.
On the back of your pretty paper, trace circles in varying sizes using drinking glasses or other round objects from your home. Cut out your shapes and set aside.
Make sure you coat the whole thing at the end to seal all the edges and give it a uniform finish.
Let your laptop dry at least overnight to cure. When you're done you can enjoy working in style.
So how clean does it come off?
Mine came off quite nicely, although I wouldn't have been able to re-apply it later.

In one of the largest Congressional districts in the nation, stretching across the rural heartland of eastern Arizona from the Four Corners region to the Santa Catalina Mountains north of Tucson, the historic candidacy of Wenona Benally Baldenegro for the Democratic nomination for Congress is marking a new era in Western politics.
For Arizonans exhausted by the extremist Tea Party machinations of freshman Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ), who many view more dedicated to the Tea Party’s beltway defiance of the Obama administration than the creation of jobs or protecting health care and investments in education, the hands-on rural American experience and Main Street platform ideas of public interest attorney Benally Baldenegro have galvanized a bipartisan campaign across the district’s diverse constituency.
“We’re extremely disappointed in Rep. Gosar,” said Vera Skorupski, a long-time registered Republican from Sedona, Arizona and a campaign supporter of Benally Baldenegro. Citing Gosar’s lack of support for Medicare and health care reform, Skorupski praised Benally Baldenegro for not ignoring the “compassionate conservative” tradition abandoned by “radical” Tea Party activists like Gosar and bringing together Democrats, Republicans and Independents.
Raised in the mining town of Kayenta on the Navajo Nation, the Harvard-educated attorney Benally Baldenegro will also become the first female American Indian member of Congress, if elected.
Hailed as one of the state’s rising political stars, the Flagstaff-based Benally Baldenegro has been on a fast track to success in Arizona. As the first Native American to graduate from Arizona State University’s prestigious Barrett Honor’s College, she attended Harvard’s Law School and then earned a Masters in Public Policy from the John F. Kennedy School of Government. Over the past decade, she has worked in Washington, DC, Portland and Tucson, Arizona, serving as a project specialist at the Inter Tribal Council of Arizona (ITCA), developing tribal self-reliance initiatives and dealing with federal health care legislation and regulations, and as a public interest attorney and expert on business, lending and rural development issues.
With Arizona’s unemployment rate rising to 9.3 percent this month, Benally Baldenegro’s campaign is emphasizing the need to revamp the state’s commitment for a new era of sustainable job creation and training in the district’s unique rural communities and small towns, along with small business investment and development, and greater educational opportunities for advancement. Responding to the largely overlooked needs of the rural district, she also calls for the protection of Arizona’s public health and safety, and environment, with a particular focus on defending Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security and veterans benefits, and a more aggressive effort to expand and reduce the costs of health care services.
Benally Baldenegro will first have to face one-term former Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick in the Democratic Party primary. However, despite Kirkpatrick’s dogged fundraising efforts this summer, few observers believe she can revive her listless and disastrous 2010 campaign, which turned away record numbers of Democrats and Independent voters with her support for the Bush era tax cuts and a poor environmental protection record.
Among the many boneheaded and unpopular moves in his recent term, Gosar quickly endorsed Rep. Paul Ryan’s budget plan over the objections of veterans, joined the radical right’s war on the Environmental Protection Agency, and has called for more uranium mining near the Grand Canyon, jeopardizing the district’s hallowed tourist destination.
Kirkpatrick and Gosar are both key supporters in the long-brewing controversial Resolution Copper mine and land swap near Superior, Arizona, which many residents see as a betrayal of President Dwight D. Eisenhower’s mandate in 1955 to set aside federal land for environmental and tribal protection. Even though the mine is still without a veritable water management plan and environmental impact statement in a state facing a looming crisis over water, Gosar stunned local residents last month by rejecting an amendment to require the foreign copper company to use vehicles registered in the state and hire Arizonan workers, and promote job training programs to develop a local workforce. Despite dubious claims of hundreds of jobs that wouldn’t take place for another decade, Gosar has yet to explain the mitigation of long-term environmental costs incurred by the state or nearby communities or answer critics concerns about the outsourcing of Arizona’s copper to Chinese corporate interests.
The bottom line: The Tea Party-beholden Gosar is out of touch with his own district.

Written by guest blogger Evie Blad. This post first appeared on Rules for Engagement.
The U.S. Department of Education will provide an additional $3.1 million grant to the Newtown School District to aid in recovery from the 2012 shooting of 20 students and six adults at an elementary school there, the agency announced today.
"I believe that the district ran, for lack of a better word for it, on adrenaline last year," Superintendent Joseph Erardi said in a conference call with reporters. "I am forecasting a more complex--not more difficult but a more complex--year this year than we had last year."
The district assesses its needs for counseling, safety services, and support on an ongoing basis with assistance from the National Child Traumatic Stress Network at UCLA, he said, adding that he projects a 12-15 year timeline for recovery. "We are really in rebuilding mode," Erardi said. "We will be in rebuilding mode for quite some time."
The department previously provided a $1.3 million grant for the 2012-13 school year and a $1.9 million grant for the 2013-14 school year to aid with mental health services for students and broader recovery efforts. The funds announced today come from Project School Emergency Response to Violence (SERV) and are in the form of an extended services grant that will build on those earlier efforts.
"Based on a comprehensive needs assessment that the district conducted, the sense that school is an unsafe place still pervades the community, and severe post-traumatic stress, anxiety, depression and grief continue to affect students' performance in and outside of the classroom," according to the Education Department.
While previous awards addressed "the entire school community," the latest grant will be more narrowly targeted to those "who were directly impacted by the incident," the Education Department said.
The combined funding makes Newtown the recipient of some of the largest Project SERV grants ever awarded. Project SERV "awards immediate-services and extended-services grants to school districts, colleges, and universities that have experienced a significant traumatic event and need resources to respond, recover, and re-establish safe environments for students." Combined with funding from the Department of Justice for safety efforts, Newtown has received a combined total of a little more than $15 million in federal funds since the shootings, U.S. Rep. Elizabeth H. Esty, D-Conn., said in the conference call.
"Those needs remain, and this long-term support over this school year and the next school year is very necessary," Esty said.
U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., recalled being at the firehouse in Newtown on the day of the shootings, waiting with families to learn if their children had survived.
"Newtown has become a symbol of tragedy, but it will not be defined by that tragedy," he said.
Erardi said about half of the children who were enrolled in the K-4 Sandy Hook Elementary School on the day of the shooting, known in the district simply as "12/14," are still students there. The other half have moved on to middle school, where support services have followed them. The next phase of funds will provide for psychosocial interventions, a new social-emotional learning program, training for parents and teachers about dealing with child trauma, additional unarmed guards, three additional school counselors, five school psychologists, and three social workers, he said.
Following the shootings, President Obama announced a multi-agency "Now is the Time" initiative, which included violence-prevention efforts and a series of gun law proposals. Recommendations included "four educational buckets" of school climate, emergency planning, mental health services, and school safety, said David Esquith, director of the Education Department's Office of Safe and Healthy Students.
The agency plans to work with the departments of Justice and Health and Human Services to roll out programs in October that address these four areas, he said. Those programs will include school climate grants, grants for states to provide technical assistance in school emergency planning, and Project Prevent--a program designed to prevent violence and address emotional needs of students in areas where it is pervasive.

FOR ME, it all started, as a lot of art projects and meetups do, with writer and columnist Alfred “Krip” Yuson.
Knowing that I moved to Northern California last year, Krip connected me with Eileen Tabios, a prolific Filipino poet published in eight languages, and urged us to meet. She lives in the wine country, hours away from me in the East Bay, and it wasn’t until last week that the stars aligned for our first meeting.
Eileen invited me to a Lit Crawl, one of the activities of the San Francisco Litquake event that ran from Oct. 5-14 this year. Along with other poets, she was to give readings of her work.
On Oct. 14, I met Eileen for dinner in The City (what residents and Bay Area people call San Francisco) where I also met her husband Tom; Paloma Press publisher Aileen Ibardolaza-Cassinetto and her husband Paul, who gave the dinner; Veronica Montes and her husband Andrew Waghams, celebrating their 26th wedding anniversary; Steve Warner; and Paul’s delightful mother. I brought along my sister, also named Aileen, so that dinner was notable for having three E/Aileens—half of the women at that table.
After dining, we proceeded to the Dovre Club, an Irish bar on Valencia Street where the poets read from their works in a session entitled “Three Sheets to the Wind,” curated by Aileen and presented by Paloma Press, Locofo Chaps, and the Philippine American Literary House.
Eileen, Paul, Veronica, and Steve were joined on stage by John Moore Williams and Melinda Luisa de Jesus. Their words were by turns mellow and stinging, poignant and rousing. Some of the poems read were timely, referencing current events and politics. Others addressed topics such as feminism, the patriarchy, and Philippine heritage.
“I forgot rough skin was a map. / I forgot you losing all Alleluias. /… / I forgot steel will bend to form a heart. / I forgot wax will freeze to form a heart. / I forgot ink will flow to form a heart. / ….
As these words thrilled and fascinated the audience at Dovre, so did the other poems, which found their own resonances within each individual present. This is the magic of poetry – it is one thing for the poet, and another for the reader, and always something to both.
There is also power in the spoken word—when it is clothed with sound, emerging on a puff of warm breath, it is brought to life in a special way. That night, the Dovre Club witnessed litchantment.
Eileen and I made sure to let Krip know that we had finally met, taking selfies and tagging him. And with such meetings and greetings, who knows where this journey on the river of words will take us poets and writers next?

This world is a beautiful place and everyone o us wants to travel around the world, visit all the beautiful countries, see all the beautiful places, experience all the fabulous cultural events and festivals and as well as get to meet new and amazing people from different cultures and countries. Travelling is what everyone loves, be it alone, with your better half, with friends or with family!
While it is true that all of us would love to travel around the world, not all of us are lucky enough to get the chance to do it, and those who do have a hard time deciding where to go! The best way to take care of both these things is to surf the web for pictures of beautiful places around the planet as they will let you appreciate the beauty of those places as well as help you decide where you want to visit next!

When it comes to inspiring confidence, this is one of lifestyle entrepreneur Lewis Howes' favorites. For people who have always dreamed of setting their own rules and starting a business of their own, confidence -- or lack of confidence -- can be a serious issue.
"It's about embracing the qualities we like as opposed to putting down the things we don't like about ourselves," he says.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter and flour an 8-inch cake pan.
Put the chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Bring a saucepan filled with an inch or so of water to a very slow simmer; set the bowl on the pan (without touching the water). Stir occasionally until melted and smooth. Alternatively, put the chocolate in microwave safe bowl. Microwave on half power until soft, about 1 minute depending upon the power of your machine. Cool.
Whisk the flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl.
Beat the butter and sugar in a medium bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in chocolate, orange peel, and vanilla and mix until fully combined. Add in flour, salt, and baking powder in 3 parts alternating with the milk to make a thick batter.
Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake in the middle of the oven until a tester comes out clean, about 30 minutes.
Cool cake in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto rack to cool completely.
Serve dusted with confectioners' sugar and with whipped cream or ice cream, if desired.

This monograph, High-dose statins and early benefit in ACS: Role of inflammation, is offered as part of a series of continuing medical education activities from the University of Florida College of Medicine. Co-editors are Carl J. Pepine, MD, University of Florida College of Medicine, and Andrew P. Selwyn, MD, Professor of Medicine, Harvard Medical School.
Acute coronary syndromes (ACS), a major cause of hospitalization in this country, is most often caused by plaque erosion or rupture leading to formation of an occlusive thrombus. Emerging data suggest that patients with ACS may derive benefit from aggressive statin treatment. Importantly, benefit may become evident early, within weeks. This monograph discusses the biological and physical interactions that, potentially, may be responsible for rapid passivation of disrupted or vulnerable plaques.
The contents of this monograph express the views of the individual contributors and do not necessarily reflect the views or recommendations of the University of Florida College of Medicine, Harvard Medical School, or the publisher.

Ric Flair used to say he’s “often imitated never duplicated.” That bold statement, which perhaps only “The Nature Boy” could back up, rings so true in any arts medium. For example, for every Lost, there was a bunch of Fast Forwards. Similarly, for every Paranormal Activity, there’s been a boatload of other crappy horror movies (usually with hot blondes screaming.) In the case of music, there’s way too many examples to list of unoriginal performers who have copycatted their way to the top. Why go there? This story focuses on a band who embrace the past, pay homage to it, and as a result, have a refreshing and – more importantly – authentic sound all their own. Punk’s not dead. It’s alive and well with Brooklyn’s Cerebral Ballzy.
More than just an offensively brilliant band name, Ballzy (Honor Titus, Mel Honore, Mason, Jason Bannon, and Tom Kogut) gained a lot of traction off their debut album, and gained a huge fan in The Strokes’ frontman Julian Casablancas, who put them on his own Cult Records. On May 31, Ballzy opened up for that groundbreaking band at an intimate show at The Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, NY. Moments before they hit the stage, Ballzy frontman Titus fielded questions on the gig, the band’s highly-anticipated sophomore studio album Jaded & Faded(out June 17), and his friendship with Casablancas. Catch Ballzy on the road this summer with OFF! and watch the video below to see if there’s a cure for Cerebral Ballzy.
While they are at two opposite ends of the music world, Arc & Stones have a lot more in common with Cerebral Ballzy than you’d think – perhaps even more than a convenient segue? Like that punk band, the Nashville (by way of Brooklyn) rockers dropped their second EP entitled As You Were this month, and it’s the antithesis of a sophomore jinx. In addition, like Casablancas and Ballzy, Arc & Stones were heard brought on the road with the classic rock band Kansas after founding member Phil Ehart heard their first EP. He also manages the four-piece act, which features college buds Dan Pellarin, Ben Cramer, Eddy Bayes, and Joe Doino.
A&S are currently on the road with that iconic band, but took time out to film an A-Sidessession in White Plains, NY. Watch them perform “Walkin’ In” below, and their interview below. Once you’ve done that, be prepared to drink the same Kool Aid Ehart has. Southern-inspired rock and soul. Don’t stop. Get it. Get it.

Oprah Winfrey and Mara Brock Akil and Salim Akil, the award-winning producers behind such hits as Being Mary Jane, The Game and Girlfriends, have partnered together to create "Love Is ___" a new original one-hour series for OWN.
The Akils will create and executive produce the series through their Akil Productions banner with Mara Brock Akil also serving as showrunner. Drawing inspiration from their real-life relationship, the humorous drama tells the love story between a modern-day power couple. Produced in association with Warner Horizon Scripted Television, the series will premiere on OWN in 2018.
The new series joins OWN's growing lineup of top-rated scripted dramas including Queen Sugar, Greenleaf, The Haves and the Have Nots and If Loving You is Wrong, which year-to-date comprise four of the top six original scripted series on ad-supported cable for women 25-54.
"I've dreamed of working with the Akils," said Oprah Winfrey. "I've been a huge fan of their work since first viewing 'Girlfriends.' They know just how to hit the cultural nerve to make you think and laugh at the same time."
"To have a partner that brings the attention to detail and sheer excellence that Oprah has built an empire on is an absolute dream come true for Salim and me," said Mara Brock Akil. "That, and it's Oprah! 'Love Is ___' is not only a passion project, but is a personal one for us as well. We're grateful to have her wholehearted support and magic touch behind this story."

Loftworld provides high quality loft conversions throughout the South East, with extensive experience working within Surrey.
The scenic county has a beautiful aesthetic and a number of conservation areas which mean that loft conversions must follow stringent guidelines and be built to an extremely high standard. We are proud of our loft conversions throughout Dorking, Guildford, Redhill, Camberley, Farnham, and Epsom, and have a range of suppliers and tradesmen throughout the region to provide local experience and expertise.
Surrey is home to over 200 conservation areas, including historic towns and picturesque villages. This means that you may not be allowed to carry out the loft conversion as a permitted development, or it could mean that you have to use particular materials or avoid building a particular loft conversion type if it drastically alters the exterior of your house.
If you live one of Surrey’s conservation areas, we will work with you and the local council to help you get the added space that you need while working within the area’s requirements. It’s likely that you will not be allowed to have dormers, but you may be allowed to build a Velux loft conversion or maybe even a mansard. The key is to understand your local restrictions and work strictly within them.

Have you ever heard someone say something like this? "_____ just needs to find God." Or maybe you've even said it as part of your testimony? "I was _____, but then I found God." I believe that not only is this theologically incorrect, but this thinking also causes us to miss the heart of Jesus.
Luke 15 contains three amazing parables, stories that Jesus taught that reveal His heart for us. I want to focus on the first two, which you can read here; (pointless to keep reading this post until you click on that link and read the parables).
Sound like you and me?
- We're helpless to save ourselves...our one chance is to live a perfect life and, well that didn't work out so well.
In steps Jesus, the Good Shepherd. What does He do? Hang on.
In the second parable, Jesus represents the woman, and we are the lost coins. One of us gets lost. What does the woman do? She searches high and low, inside and outside, lighting lamps and basically, not resting until she finds her lost coin. And when she finds it? It's a party! Let's stop there and make some observations.
1) JESUS FINDS US. We don't have to figure out how to find Him, He finds us. The sheep doesn't get hopelessly lost trying to figure out how to get back to the flock, the shepherd leaves the flock to find the sheep! When a sheep wanders off, the shepherd would leave the flock and go on a search. He may end up walking miles to find that 1 lost sheep. And what happens when he finally finds the sheep? He scoops up the hungry, scared, wounded sheep, places him on his shoulders, walks him all the way back to the flock. Same thing with the woman; she loses a coin and immediately drops everything until she finds that missing coin.
In the same way, when we wander off, Jesus comes to find us. When we are lost, He finds us. We need to be found. He will go any distance, to any place to find one of His sheep. This should change a little bit how we pray for those who are "lost" - we don't pray that they find us, or find God, we pray that God finds them. They are lost, and they need to be found. And this is good news!

God is not only to be known in His blessed and incomprehensible being, for this is something which is reserved for His saints in the age to come. He is also to be known from the grandeur and beauty of His creatures, from His providence which governs the world day by day, from His righteousness and from the wonders which He shows to His saints in each generation…. When we consider that He numbers the raindrops, the sand of the sea and the stars of heaven, we are amazed at the grandeur of His nature and His wisdom.
~ On the Holy Fathers of Sketis, The Philokalia, Vol. 1, trans. Palmer and Sherrard, pg. 97.
A clear rule for self-control handed down by the Fathers is this: stop eating while you are still hungry and do not continue until you are satisfied. When the Apostle said ‘Make no provision to fulfill the desires of the flesh’ (Romans 13:14), he was not forbidding us to provide for the needs of life; he was warning us against self-indulgence… self-esteem and pride….
~ “On the eight vices,” The Philokalia, Vol. I, London, 1979, pg. 74.
This extraordinarily gifted spiritual guide grew up in Roman Gaul (France) where he studied philosophy and astronomy before giving himself entirely over to the absorption of Holy Scripture and to a striving to fulfill Christ’s call to “be perfect.” John Cassian journeyed first to Bethlehem and then to Egypt where he lived with the monks of Scetis and embraced the practice of the virtues. After seven years in the desert in departed for Constantinople where he became a pupil of St. John Chrysostom; he was ordained by him into the diaconate. He then returned to the West and settled near Marseilles where he founded two monasteries. He exemplifies the ascetic striving for the self-denial of the spiritual athletes of Christ, and the deep care for creation alive in the monks of the Egyptian desert. He is numbered among the founders of monasticism in the West.

PR15 PIC South Peak Mysteries is a 17.2 kilometer lightly trafficked out and back trail located near Lajes do Pico, Azores, Portugal that features beautiful wild flowers and is rated as moderate. The trail is primarily used for hiking and nature trips and is accessible year-round.
The trail "Mysteries of the South of the Pico" begins in the Forest Park of São João, passing through two Mysteries (São João and Silveira). The name "Mysteries" refers to the lava fields arising from the historical eruptions that occurred on the islands, for which the inhabitants had no justification, thus being mysteries of Nature. Follow the dirt road to the right of the barbecue area. Enter immediately on the dirt road on the left. This path takes you to the tidal well of Baía do Arruda (on the left). Follow this path and you will find the leisure and bathing area of Ponta do Admouro. Go down the stone staircase to the recreation area, and return to the main access road, following the right. Further on is the Verdoso tidal well. Go down the steps and, beyond the tidal well, you can enjoy access to the sea. Return again to the path, and continue to the bathing area of the Arinhas. Further ahead is Casa do Pico and the Pico Cheese Museum, properties of Alvião. Follow the road on the right, and you will find the Church of Saint John and the chapel of the Holy Spirit Empire. Continue on the path next to the sea, following the Old Path (standing-station), which takes you to the Ponta Rasa Mill. Take the right towards Lajes. Further ahead, enter the dirt road on the right. This zone is denominated Mystery of Silveira, consequence of volcanic eruption of 1720. Follow the road of beaten earth, entering a sidewalk of coast. Go back to the road and later you will find the bathing area of Fonte. This site is widely recognized for its unique water features. Continue along the path by the sea, and you will find the Rego tide well as well as a small leisure area. After passing a tourist village, make a detour to visit Canada Pau Rodrigues. Upon reaching the Regional Road, turn right and finish the trail next to the Chapel of the Holy Spirit, erected in 1723, following a promise made so that the volcanic eruption of 1720 did not reach the place of Silveira.

LYNN — Conor Donovan probably knows better than most how hard it is to play a competitive game against people you know and are close to.
“I don’t think there’s a anyone on that team (Lynn) that I don’t know,” said Donovan, a sophomore who scored the game-winning goal in Friday night’s 3-2 Division 3 North semifinal game against the Lynn Jets.
And that would include his cousins: Sean and Matt Devin.
Donovan, who tended to be lost amid the tree-trunk legs of the Lynners he was up against, managed to sneak on Jets goalie Jack Gallant’s doorstep with 6:36 to play in the third period to score the final goal of this see-saw affair.
All Donovan’s goal did was make the pace even more frenetic than it was before. And that was very frantic.
Lynn scored first on Andrew Patrie’s first-period goal, but Swampscott got the next two, one when Brett Benoit — whose older sister Genevieve starred for the St. Mary’s girls hockey team during its run of three straight state titles — made a nice rush up the ice and put one behind Lynn’s Jack Gallant to tie the game early in the second period.
Donovan scored the first of his two to give the Big Blue a 2-1 lead through two periods of play. Showing no quit, Lynn’s Brian Clougherty scored the 100th point of his career (he’s only a junior) on a beautiful shift in front of Johnson. Clougherty’s goal knotted things up at 2-2 in the early stages of the third period.
With the score tied at 2-2 and time winding down in the third period, it was Donovan’s turn again.
The best was yet to come. With about a minute to go, Roberts removed Gallant in favor of an extra skater. From that point on, Lynn threw everything but the kitchen sink at Swampscott goalie Dan Johnson, but the tall, rangy goaltender with the bleach blond hair (a Big Blue team-wide tradition) was equal to the task.
