Why I Give – Dr. Albert Alley
Tags: Philanthropy
"I'm a newcomer to the vision business, I've only been an ophthalmologist for 47 years," Lebanon ophthalmologist Albert Alley joked. Helping people with vision issues has been a life-long passion, and has taken him all around the world.
In 1965, as Alley was finishing his medical internship, doctors were being drafted to serve in Vietnam. "I enlisted in the Air Force as a flight surgeon," he said. When the call came for volunteers to assist civilian ophthalmologists at the base where he was stationed, Alley found his life's calling.
Dr. Alley established a private practice in Lebanon in 1970, and it's brought him much satisfaction over the years. "The success rate for vision corrective procedures and treatment is good. You know you've done something beneficial for your patients by their reaction!"
But there are gaps in what an ophthalmologist can do to support the needs of someone with vision loss.
VisionCorps helps to fill those gaps. Dr. Alley knows the benefits of VisionCorps' rehabilitation services, especially for his patients with macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, and other chronic eye diseases. "They function better in their daily lives. They are more independent, and have a better attitude about their condition," he said.
VisionCorps' employment program is making a marked change in the lives of two of his young adult patients. "It adds so much to their lives! They feel they have some purpose and direction," Dr. Alley says. "They are productive – going to work and earning a wage. And they are able to socialize with others who are successfully dealing with their visual disability, and are contented and fulfilled."
Serving on the VisionCorps Board of Directors increased Dr. Alley's support and respect for the organization. His generosity helped VisionCorps build a new facility in Lebanon called The Alley Center for the Blind. "I didn't want people in my community to have to travel to access these world-class services," he said.
Dr. Alley's desire to help people with vision loss has no borders. On a trip to the Philippines, he was dismayed to witness cases of preventable blindness. "People were going blind from cataracts," he said. "This is a treatable disease – a 30-minute operation!" In 1990, he co-founded World Blindness Outreach (WBO). "We focus on cataract, corneal transplants, and correcting crossed-eyes in children," he said. "We've launched close to 100 missions in 26 countries, and have operated on more than 10,000 people with different degrees of blindness." Grateful patients have created monuments and murals in his honor. (WGAL-TV showcased his 25th vision mission to the Dominican Republic that took place in January of this year in a one-hour TV special on March 6.)
Locally, VisionCorps is the guiding influence in the selection of eligible recipients for WBO's Life Enhancement Awards. "These awards go to people with visual disabilities who could benefit from a gift of a high-tech instrument, training program, or financial assistance with transportation," Dr. Alley said. "I feel blessed to be involved with VisionCorps. I speak from the heart, because I've seen first-hand the difference it has made in the lives of my patients."

Nadun Muthukumarana elected President of the MCA
27 March 2020 Consultancy.uk
Deloitte Partner Nadun Muthukumarana has been elected President of the Management Consultancies Association. Having been a member of the group's board for eight years, he will now lead the 18-person collective which represents the broad interests of all of MCA's 70 or so member firms.
As the representative body for the UK's leading management consulting firms, the Management Consultancies Association (MCA) has been the industry's collective voice for more than six decades. Its members make up more than 60% of the UK's £11 billion consulting industry, and employ roughly 45,000 professionals, while working with more than 90 of the leading FTSE 100 companies and the vast majority of the public sector.
As the MCA prepares to face what may be a challenging few years for the UK consulting industry, the organisation has been fortifying its structure with the appointment of a new President. Working in collaboration with Chief Executive Tamzen Isacsson, Deloitte Partner Nadun Muthukumarana has been elected to help lead the MCA as its members contend with pressures resulting from Brexit, the coronavirus, and a global economic slowdown in 2020.
Isacsson said of the news, "Having worked closely with Nadun over the last year to build and improve the services provided by the MCA I am delighted that he has been elected President. At a key moment for our industry Nadun will be a powerful advocate of the sector and I look forward to working with him in supporting and championing our MCA members across the UK."
The MCA President is elected from amongst the members of the MCA Council to serve a two-year period, and works with the MCA Board to direct and supervise the work of the trade association. Muthukumarana takes over the role from Howard Scott, the PwC Partner who has led the organisation for the past two years, amid a sustained period of significant change and transformation for consultants and their clients.
Muthukumarana has worked in consulting for over 20 years, focusing on technology transformation projects. Having spent two spells at Deloitte, totaling 12 years, he currently leads the firm's data analytics and cognitive AI projects within the transport and public sector industries. Throughout his time with the Big Four firm, Muthukumarana has held various leadership roles focused on promoting diversity and inclusion within consulting, while also serving as an MCA Board member for over eight years, acting as the lead board member for diversity.
Commenting on his election, Muthukumarana, said, "Consulting makes a significant contribution to the UK economy and plays a vital role in transforming society, growing industries and strengthening communities. The industry serves a necessary purpose in helping companies respond to risks and opportunities in the market. Our skills and expert advice will be called upon during what is undoubtedly a challenging business environment... In the year ahead, it will also be imperative that the consulting industry works together to strengthen business resilience and maximise the opportunities new technologies bring."
MCA Board
Muthukumarana will be supported by three Vice-Presidents; Claire Kennedy of PPL, Nigel Slater of KPMG and Greg Bradley of Arcadis, while outgoing President Scott will remain on the team.
The rest of the MCA Board is made up of Guy Sorrill of Sysdoc; Phil Hanson of Curzon Consulting, who is also Chair of the Young MCA; Charles Newhouse of BAE Systems; Lucinda Peniston-Baines of The Observatory International; Rob Walker of EY; Mark Palmer of Gobeyond Partners; Ally Robson of NECS Consulting; Kate Spalding of Atos; Kerry Hancock of Mott MacDonald; Chris Robson of Akeso & Co; Steve Watmough of Mason Advisory; and Rob Smith of PwC.

Tanzania: a sustainable legacy
News17 July 2015Daniel Gray
In 2016, after 37 years in Tanzania, Concern Worldwide will conclude its work in the East African nation. Here we explore the legacy of improved food security and nutrition we will leave behind.
Our history in Tanzania
In 1978 the first president of Tanzania, Julius Nyerere, invited Concern to implement community development projects in one of the country's central regions, Iringa. This was a landmark for Concern, as the first move away from emergency humanitarian work into longer-term development efforts.
In our time in the country, our work has expanded to providing education to local organisations and communities in water security, enterprise and health. Our ambition has been to empower communities to spearhead their own development out of extreme poverty, and over time we have seen improvements in children's health, livelihoods and food security.
Now, the country is seeing strong economic growth – and while Tanzania still suffers from high levels of poverty and inequality, it is quickly making gains in the Human Development Index and becoming increasingly resilient.
One of the ways Concern promotes sustainable growth is through agricultural training programmes, which help to safeguard small communities from hunger while creating opportunities for economic stability on a local scale.
Meet Bernard
Bernard Kamuhanda, a volunteer in agricultural development, on his motorcycle taxi in Nterwenge, Tanzania. Photo taken by Concern Worldwide.
Bernard Kamuhanda is a motorbike taxi driver from Nterwenge village, a remote community in western Tanzania. Driven by a passion to contribute to his community, he took part in a Concern training programme that helped him to learn new techniques in crop production, animal rearing and nutrition. Alongside his day-time work, he spends his time sharing his new expertise with the most vulnerable people in his community. He tells us:
I volunteer my time trying to help my community; if we work together we will all do better.
When we meet Bernard, he leads us on his bike to visit the Mbogamboga Mkatoke Vegetable Garden Group: four women and nine men he's coaching in garden establishment and management, passing down the knowledge he has learned from his own training by Concern.
As we arrive, the group are weeding their collective garden, which is abundant with rows and rows of lush greenery – a mix of cabbages, potatoes and spinach. The group sells their extra produce, like tomatoes, dividing some of the money between themselves, and the rest towards a group savings fund from which they can each borrow equally.
Projects like Mbogamboga Mkatoke help to achieve food and financial security for those involved. But the surrounding community also benefits by adopting skills on best garden practices – and the most vulnerable living nearby are given weekly donations of vegetables that the groups are harvesting.
The power of volunteering
For Bernard volunteering to help his community is a passion. He tells us that he feels empowered by the trust and respect his own community members have shown in him.
His work, and the work of people like him, has had a remarkable impact on helping to reduce hunger and poor nutrition. By the completion of the project communities will see crop yields increase by up to 600%. This increase will reduce hunger between harvests, and helps to promote a richer diet of animal protein, vegetables, staple grains and fruits.
Food security is just one of the improvements that we have seen through our work in Tanzania. We continue to work in programmes around gender equality and access to clean water with the ambition of leaving the areas we work in as safer, more equitable and sustainable environments for those who live and work there.

STAMFORD -- A well-designed program of classical orchestral music can develop over the course of an evening, and the Stamford Symphony continued its 2012-2013 season with a program that had the coherence of good storytelling.
The idea that bound most of the works was the Baroque principle of the Concerto Grosso, where a small group of musicians is contrasted with the larger forces of the orchestra as a whole. Beyond that concept, the music systematically progressed from the feel of intimate chamber music to romantic orchestral panoramas.
The concert began with the Brandenburg Concerto No. 4 in G Major by Bach.
This work and several others during the course of the evening featured Erica Kiesewetter, not in her usual role as concertmaster but as violin soloist. She was joined by Bart Feller and Kathleen Nester as flute soloists. It remains unclear to scholars exactly which wind instruments Bach intended for this concerto, and during the preconcert lecture Feller, Nester, and orchestral librarian and flute player David Carp demonstrated the various possibilities. During the performance Feller and Nester played on modern silver flutes with wooden head joints because they felt that that gave them the best of the modern and early music worlds.
The three soloists set up at center stage without a conductor. Music Director and Conductor Eckert Preu sat directly behind them playing continuo. The quality of chamber music made among friends was unmistakable.
The next Concerto Grosso featured was by Handel, it was the Op. 3 No. 2 concerto in Bb major (the program incorrectly listed Op. 3 no. 1). For this concerto and for the "Concerto Grosso" by Avner Dorman (bn. 1975) that followed, Preu conducted from the front of the ensemble but stood on the floor, which represented a transition away from the chamber music setting toward more formal orchestral playing.
The Dorman "Concerto Grosso" had the perfect setting on this half of the concert. Its ingenious textures and rich play of ideas was engaging, and the ensemble played with careful attention to balances and the interplay of sound colors.
After intermission Preu conducted from a podium, and the music completed the narrative by locking into richer, more full orchestral textures.
The "Autumn Rhapsody" by Pierre Jalbert had interesting moments but as a composition it over-resolved its own energy. Nonetheless it was given a good performance and it gave us a break from the concerto principle.
The concert closed with "The Four Seasons of Buenos Aires," by Astor Piazzolla in the infamous violin concerto arrangement by Leonid Desyatnikov. Kiesewetter returned as violin soloist and was impressive from start to finish. She is well-known for her amazing musicianship; she is freakishly smart, always sensible, and deeply respected by anyone who has the good fortune to hear her play on a regular basis. This concerto allowed her to unleash her inner rock star. The passionate dance idiom of this music sparkled through her collection of technical and musical expertise. Cellist Caroline Stinson also contributed memorable solos throughout the concerto.
Unlike the Vivaldi "Seasons" the Piazzolla "Seasons" are not fixed in their order of performance. Preu chose to avoid a chronological ordering.
He started with the Spring concerto and then worked his way backward through a year: Spring was followed by Winter, Autumn, and finally Summer. This sequence opened with a fugue, followed by a slow movement, by a dance, and closed with a work which brought us back to Baroque references. The ordering brought out a symphonic structure in the concerto, and brought an effective closure to the ideas that organized this concert. The work received an enthusiastic standing ovation.

EXHIBITIONS OF THE GALLERY
"HOP LANDSCAPES" SERIES OF PAINTINGS
Hopfenlandschaft, 1989. Watercolor on paper, 30 x 40 cm. Photo: M. Wolf.
Soft hills strung with metre-high wooden posts and wire, tinged green in summer by tendrils and umbels and interspersed by old cart tracks – this describes the hop landscape of the Hallertau.
Hops have been cultivated for centuries here in the world's largest hop growing region. To this day, the plant still shapes the landscape and likewise the identity and culture of the people who live there.
For Eva Wolf-Schliesser, the hop landscape with its seasonal variations in vegetation phases and varied lighting scenes is an almost never-ending source of pictorial motifs: "The hop poles stand bare in the hop field in autumn and winter, with the snow, the cold and the wind for neighbours. Little by little, the hop plants bedeck them in spring and summer. The sun and the rain foster the growth of these vines."
The hop series by Eva Wolf-Schliesser comprises well over 100 watercolours and oil paintings. No other artist has taken this motif as an artistic subject.
The portrayals of her hop paintings are not merely impressions of the landscape of her birth, but on a meta level depict the artist's intense analysis of the relationship between nature and technology on the one hand and culture and nature on the other.
Eva Wolf-Schliesser raises questions concerning the eternal struggle between man and nature for living space: Does the creeping plant control the earth, the animal and the human being and rob them of their livelihoods? Or vice versa – is nature cultivated by the technology of the hop industry? When contemplating Eva Wolf-Schliesser's hop landscapes, at first one's gaze may become lost in the aesthetically pleasing images.
The landscapes range from naturalistic mood reduction to abstract impressions of the motif and offer a multifaceted spectrum of colours. The expressive and varied colour palette lends the motif an intense mood, into which the observer dives kaleidoscopically, discovering the magical world of hops. The observer resurfaces and is confronted with another level of perception, where he has to decide: Nature or technology? With Eva Wolf-Schliesser, the two antagonisms enter into a symbiosis.
The juxtaposition of the basic subjects "nature and technology" also refers to Eva Wolf-Schliesser's philosophical analysis of the construction of the reality of perception. In combination with her naturalistic to abstract pictorial language and her expressionistic colour composition there is an open perceptive structure, which creates space for many individual possibilities of perception in its contemplation: If one takes into account the light conditions of the course of the day, such as the violet-red sunrise, the gleaming light of midday, the milky twilight and the darkness of the night, the hop garden shows a subtle palette of colours. The sum of all these colours […] makes the hop garden an expressive body that admits many possibilities for propositions."
The interplay between nature and technology is illustrated in the works of Eva Wolf-Schliesser by a further aspect: The artist's many hop poles and bracing wires characterise her artistic language to such an extent that her geometric formal arrangements, as a formal and compositional basic structure, run like a common thread through her hop series: When the running wire is tensioned, the field is tilled and the hop vines are pruned, the hop plant surges upwards, snaking up the running wire. Yellow-green wraps around the rust red of the wire. The hop grows and grows, an ordered chaos of different shades of green, red and yellow merges to become a living natural body."
In this context, hop landscapes also have a transcendent and irrational connotation: "Under the blue of the sky or the yellow of the sun or the grey of the rain, the hop plant rests on the pillars of the scaffolding temple."

May 6th, 2015 – The first excerpt of Guest Speaker, Senator Jennifer Beck of the New Jersey Legislature representing District 11, comments at the April 27th Freehold Township Republican Club meeting.
The Senator presented and answered questions regarding expected poor voter turnout for the upcoming election; the impact of public employee pension and health benefits on the NJ budget; funding the Transportation Trust Fund and potential of a gas tax; education reform and more.
Senator Jennifer Beck stood for well over an hour to the largest turnout in quite some time. Unlike the turnout for this meeting, she began her comments with concern of the "oddness" of the upcoming election season. Reminding the group that during the 2011 election, when redistricting created the new district 11, she, Mary Pat Angelini, and Caroline Casagrande faced a low 28% voter turnout. This time however, with the State Assembly leading the ticket, only a lower 20% turnout is expected. Those highly educated and followers of politics expect a negative aura for Republicans considering the usual polling levels of a governor's 6th year at the close of his office and press reporting of the Bridge Gate indictments over the summer.
The best results in raising turnout would be a campaign strategy targeted to encourage citizen voting, those who voted in the last 3 or 4 general elections and the handful of individuals who have special interests. Senator Beck offered her readiness to assist candidates both financially and with her traditionally effective walking tours to meet their respective constituents.
In addition, of the "three things most often" making the press recently, she began her remarks regarding the growing budget. As a member of the Senate Budget Committee, she is acutely aware of the issues. The Senator indicated that while the state government has grappled with two billion less discretionary dollars since the 2008 budget, overall it is still growing "completely due" to obligations of providing pension and health benefits to New Jersey public employees.
New Jersey's "Platinum Plan" makes it the 3rd richest health benefit plan in the country. In addition, the Northeast's medical expenses are high and contribute to the extraordinary cost. The average yearly price of the public employee's family plan is between $26,000 and $36,000, with the vast majority funded by tax payers. While understandably complaining when the reality of their contribution increases hit after the 2010 benefit reforms, they "don't come close" to what private sector employees contribute.
Further, should a full pension payment be made to the public employees plan, and the required funding of the healthcare program, 23% of a thirty-four billion dollar budget will "just go to funding" benefits. And the "scary thing" is that's almost a quarter of the budget. "It is not sustainable" according to Senator Beck. We are headed to a day when the pension can become bankrupt, and as such, they will say "we are going to give you 25 cents on the dollar". The Senator is "disappointed the teacher's union walked away from the table" in spite of "a road map we had started to discuss." The road map kept current employees to what they had, and a reviewed potential different tracks in terms of changing retirement and health plans going forward.
We can work together to fix it for the almost 500,000 active and retired employees, or it will resolve itself. "It could come to employees relying on certain pension dollars", that "it is not going to be there". This year $1.3 billion will be put in the budget as a pension payment. Senator Beck doesn't believe it fair to blame Governor Christie for the problem when he has funded the pension at the highest level since any of the last five governors. While the court did not order the payment be paid for the last year, it has directed that the problem of funding be figured out by going back to negotiate with the public employees union.
In spite of attempts, as of last week the state was sued to fully fund the pension at $3.3 billion. The Senator expressed that "it just doesn't exist". She stated that even should the millionaire's tax be raised, it would only bring in only $600 to $700 million, and she wasn't sure where the additional $2.7 billion would come from. That thinking is "folly" and she has difficulty understanding the "lunacy" of representatives of the state legislature, Senate President and the Assembly Speaker, as sponsors of the budget, joining in the law suit against the state of New Jersey. While putting the budget together, they are suing themselves, which adds to the current "chaos". But have faith, they will be working to resolve this as in many others state's and municipalities are grappling with similar issues.


Colombard, better known as French Colombard in North America, is a traditional variety of the Charente region in Central Western France. While no DNA testing has been reported on this grape variety, it is widely accepted that French Colombard is an offspring of the Gouais Blanc and Chenin Blanc grapes.
French Colombard gained a lot of it prominence due to its use in making Cognac. That popularity has waned over time as the grapes Ugni Blanc and Baco Blanc are used more frequently.
Today twelve approved Colombard clones exist. Specifically named Colombard B, the clones are numbered 551, 552, 553, 605, 606, 607, 608, 609, 625, 626, 695 and 938. Over 180 clones exist and are gathered at two different conservatories in Gers, France planted in 1995 and 2002.
In France, Colombard was traditionally grown in the regions of Charente and Gascony. The grape was distilled into Cognac and Armagnac in the Charente and Gascony regions, respectively.
The grapes is mainly farmed in Gascony and throughout southwestern area of France, including the Gers region. Production levels fell consistently until 1998, due to drops in overall sales of wines and spirits. Today production of French Colombard is on the rise and the variety is increasingly being made into still wines.
Elsewhere, French Colombard was widely grown in South Africa, where it is known as Colombar. However, those production numbers are falling. Some acreage in Australia has been dedicated to growing the grape. In Thailand they are using the grape as a blend with Syrah to produce a Rose wine. You can also find the grape growing in Israel and Mexico.
Northern Californian producers have higher demand for other whites but are nonetheless bottling the grape as a varietal. The grape is also being grown in Texas.
Colombard is a white wine grape. Its berries are short and oblong. Prone to rot and powdery mildew, this grape variety has the characteristic as an early fruiting wine grape.
Colombard vines are vigorous and are known for their high yield. Depending upon the type of wine or Cognac made from the grape it can be pruned either long or short. For still wines, vineyards will typically prune short in order to limit the yield and obtain richer grapes.
French Colombard grows well in limestone and even clay-limestone soils. The climate needs of the grape are a temperate but warm climate. Still, French Colombard can be grown outside of these weather parameters and produce a decent wine. However, the grape will not handle drought well and thus needs to be watered regularly if the grape is planted in a drier region.
French Colombard has naturally high levels of acidity. It has higher sugar levels than that of Ugni Blanc and Folle Blanche (the other two main ingredients in Cognac). The high acidity make the grape a good choice for using in blends as it can add backbone to white "jug wine" blends.
Traditionally, French Colombard was the most widely planted grape in California where it was often used as a foundation for jug wines. However, if there is a good match between the terroir and the wine making technique, the resulting varietal is a crisp white wine with citrus fruits and a pleasant minerality.
This pleasant and highly aromatic wines should be enjoyed early while the wine still retains its aperitif-like quality and fruitiness. French Colombard is held in high regard for its lime, peach and nectarine notes. Sometimes, one can find a hint of grapefruit accompanying the sweet, fruity range of flavors.

How to Touch a Girl to Get Her Attracted to You on a First Date
How to Touch a Girl to Get Her Attracted to You on a First Date7 minute read
Leave a Comment / Charisma, Meet More Women / By Alexander
Quick Note: Because the world's gone bonkers, here's a note before getting into the article:
These things I do at different times on a date to seduce women (sometimes I won't do any of them sometimes I'll do all of them and other times I'll only do some of them, it depends on the circumstances). These things work, but not the same nor at the same time. Women are different and will require different things at different times. The advice below assumes you are somewhat well-off socially speaking and can gauge how comfortable or not people are
Have you ever wondered "Why don't girls like me?", or "What do women want in a man?" It can be maddening when trying to figure out how to seduce women and not understanding why girls like some guys but thinking "girls don't like me". It's a lonely life, but thankfully learning how to seduce a girl is easy, once you understand how to get a girl to like you with this one simple skill! And no, we're not talking about confidence (though that is CRITICAL and you can check out how to become confident here).
And the secret skill to how to seduce a woman can be summed up as…

1 That 'Special Spark'
1.1 What Goes Into "What Do Women Want in A Man?"
1.2 The Master Key to a Depraved Sex Life
2 What to Start With When Learning How to Seduce a Woman:
3 Do This to Fix The Problem of "Girls Don't Like Me"

4 How to Touch a Girl Infographic Re-Cap
That 'Special Spark'
Chemistry. That special spark, butterflies in the stomach and who knows what else it's called. This is the answer to the infamous question: "what do girls look for in a guy?"
It goes by different names, but it's a special feeling most don't know how to describe. And as you read along, that special, magical spark is what you're going to learn how to create. How to easily, naturally and swiftly create a delirious feeling of desire. How to touch a girl to automatically and honestly turn her on and crave you.
That spark, the 'it' factor is called sexual tension. And if you want to know how to get a girl to like you, or even how to show a girl you like her, this is how.
And it's a skill that, as you continue to read you're going to learn. Building sexual tension is a special feeling, that 'magic' women talk about when they talk about a date with someone who didn't have 'it'.
Quick Update: but you can't be serious and focus on tension the entire time. Sometimes it's better to tease a woman because then she will have fun while she's with you. Together, tension and teasing help you turn women on like a fire hydrant after being run over by a car (click here to learn how to tease a girl in a way she'll love).
What Goes Into "What Do Women Want in A Man?"
While reading, you'll realize learning how to create sexual tension comes in as many forms as the Joker has backgrounds. Looking attractive's certainly a part of it as is developing a deep and powerful voice that will make you more attractive to women and generate respect from men (as long as you're comfortable smashing past your current comfort zone).
For some women, good looks are paramount while for others it doesn't even register. Clearly, for the overwhelming majority of women, it's somewhere in between.
Which means learning how to build sexual tension works for Quasimodo as well as Adonis.

But Why Learn How to Create Sexual Tension?
Because some people don't have that magic spark while others have mastered the ability to stimulate women in ways they love. Regardless of how they look. Some don't know how to create and handle the steamy 'magic spark' that excites and delights women. Nor how to touch a girl to make her show them her impure sides.
Meanwhile, some provocative men out there can do the above and have learned how to sincerely, rapidly and utterly become charismatic and charming in an authentic way and can be copied by you!
Lastly; not only does touch help us turn women on but it helps human beings connect better! We're biologically wired to be touched and in fact, babies who aren't touched can sometimes die!

https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/infant-touch/
http://theconversation.com/can-a-lack-of-love-be-deadly-58659
Imagine, if lack of touch can kill babies, how important is it to us adults? How many women have you lost out on because you didn't understand how to show a girl you like her when you truly did? Sometimes, it's not about how to get a girl to like you, but how to show a girl you like her. And you do that through your touch.
The Master Key to a Depraved Sex Life
At first, you will feel a type of overwhelming pressure. It's critical you learn how to become comfortable with that pressure. Because women and men like strong, comfortable men who can have a dominating presence. This is your answer to "what do women want in a man?" as well as "why don't girls like me?"
That means during a silent moment in the conversation, don't rush to fill the silence. That pause, that silence, is where the magic starts to happen. And that's how you build sexual tension.
That silence is the difference between men who complain about how 'girls don't like me' when instead you can show them how to seduce women after mastering this critical skill!
You will scare off some women some of the time. Don't worry about them, if a woman becomes uncomfortable then stop and take a step back or even feel free to move onto the next one. Even the best of the best can't get every woman out there.
What to Start With When Learning How to Seduce a Woman:
In the beginning, you'll want to stick to 'safer' places using the palm of your hand. Safer places include:
When making a point
Or in a high moment of the conversation
When touching one of these safer areas, place your hand on her for a second or two at most.
This safe touch causes her to relax, trust you more and become used to your touch thus cementing the growing bond between you. Not only that, but it's also how you show a girl you like her.
Do This to Fix The Problem of "Girls Don't Like Me"
If she's too far away from you, you can even tell her "give me your hand for a moment". As long as you haven't set off any red flags and you don't launch into touch the first moment you see her, she will more than likely go with it (if she doesn't, then you likely didn't have a chance in the first place and it's better to know now rather than two weeks from now). And it has her putting effort into the seduction so it's not you doing all of the work.
It's another way to have her invest in you and another way to be more successful when learning how to seduce women in general. If she asks why; tell her the truth. It helps you connect better.
Some guys out there have routines and stories set aside for these situations. They work, and I've used them in the past: but after getting the basics down you'll ultimately grab better results by doing what feels natural to you.
The Goal in Learning How to Touch a Girl
It's important to note: you're not trying to cop a feel when you touch women. Yes, this is a guide on how to touch a girl while on a date. But you're not trying to feel her up… yet. Instead, what you want to do is show a girl you like her through your touch. Being sexual's good, being horny for anything that will have you is bad.
We want to unlock her attraction for us and enjoy our touch first and foremost. Our secondary goal is to get her aroused until she's ready to tear our clothes off like a sinful succubus.
Inching closer to the second goal as time goes on.
That's the mindset behind how to touch a girl on a date and will help you fix the problem other men have when they ask "why don't girls like me?"

Martin Tower owners are planning to implode the Lehigh Valley's tallest building in about six weeks.
The planned May 19 implosion of the former world headquarters of Bethlehem Steel has been the talk of the city since developers confirmed it would be coming down after a dozen years of vacancy. The owners have submitted a plan for medical offices, retail stores, a gas station, a restaurant and garden apartments for the 53-acre site.
As a lifetime resident of Bethlehem, I understand the sentimental desire to preserve and save Martin Tower. What I don't understand is why more residents and businesses have not been up in arms over the potential environmental damage to the surrounding medical facilities, hospital, Moravian College, brand new middle school, B. Braun, etc. and people.
Depending on how the wind blows, this could be extremely detrimental to many people and businesses in Bethlehem.
I would appreciate an article from The Morning Call stating the effects of post demolition on the community because I am more concerned with the environmental and health risks rather than the absence of a building.
Regarding the March 14th article on redevelopment plans for the 53 acres of Martin Tower land, a golden opportunity is emerging to make Bethlehem an even better city.
My wife and I have lived many years in the Carolinas and Florida, where attractive, affordable, mixed-use communities are commonly seen. These planned communities look and feel good, serve a variety of residents, and enhance their cities. They attract working singles, families, and retirees. So naturally we were surprised and disappointed to read what seems to be an uninspiring plan for this important land.
Hundreds and hundreds of apartments as the project's dominant feature? The best we can do is more apartments? How about well-designed, architecturally appealing coach homes, condominiums, detached or paired villas? Why should residents have to leave Bethlehem to own good-looking 1,500- to 1,800-square-foot homes with highly livable floor plans for well under $200 per square foot?
This is an opportunity for Planning Commission members to step up and show that their vision extends beyond their own backyards.
Approving any plan for this special land whose central feature is hundreds of apartments would suggest the Planning Commission is losing faith in Bethlehem's future.
The writer is a former longtime Lehigh Valley resident.
Martin Tower took away the beauty of the city's landscape. It did not represent the history of those workers who labored many hard years in a noisy, dangerous, and dirty steel plant or those workers who incurred chronic medical conditions.
It did not represent the common working citizen. It only stood for the wealthy executives.
The Morning Call has had quite a few articles about Martin Tower, with the impending implosion of the building and other stories.
However, the majority of blue collar steel workers in the structural shipping yards of the now-deceased Bethlehem plant felt the money should have been spent on a continuous steel casting process and technology. They would have lowered cost, man-hours per ton and made the Bethlehem Steel plant a more competitive steel producer in a competitive marketplace.
Instead we must look at a cold-looking tower of scrap waiting to be imploded.
In fact, all Martin Tower means to me and many more plant workers is a lack of foresight, planning and poor judgement while fully lacking the right leadership.
My reason for feeling this way is because I and many co-workers had a stake in the plant and expected to retire with dignity. We took great pride in producing quality structural beams.
Let's not forget the Bethlehem beams built the Golden Gate Bridge and the tall skyscrapers of America, and one time was the second-largest steel-maker in the world.

POPULAR MISCELLANY.
rior plane of the body. The author had made a careful examination of the seating in schools, and found that faulty positions are certainly induced because of the lack of adaptation of seat to pupil and of pupil to seat. It was not possible to say how much of a factor poor seating is in causing lateral curvature, but there could no longer be any doubt that it plays an important part. He favored as a counteractive measure the introduction of general neutral movements tending to develop the whole child along the lines of his natural muscular evolution, or exercises like those of the Swedish gymnastic system. Some of the participants in the discussion of the reading of the paper suggested that faulty school attitudes might be less potent in producing curvature than bad habits acquired independently of them. All agreed upon the utility of suitable exercise as a counteractive.
Contrasts in Mountain Scenery.—Writing in Appalachia from the New Hampshire mountains of his visit to the Sierra Madre Mountains, Mr. Charles E. Fay begins by describing the contrast between the two scenes, than which, he says, there can hardly be a greater one. "The cool, balsamic air, the morning sky already piled with cumulus cloud prophetic of showers in mid-afternoon, the green fields cut by teeming brooks undulating away to meet the darker forest green that drapes the varied shapes of Whiteface, Passaconaway, Paugus, and the lower slopes of Chocorua, are a striking antithesis to what we looked on there. These mountains woo you, and there is an anticipated satisfaction in the promise made yourself to stand on every one of the peaks within your range of vision, attaining them by pleasant journeys through ferny, mossy, pathless woods. But in southern California the mountains do not invite one—at least, not for their own sakes. The conditions of climbing are most unfavorable. The summer heat is intense. They lie beyond an unattractive stretch; for the grass and flowers that in spring cover in wonderful profusion the ground that slopes upward to the sudden beginning of the steep foothills have withered, and in July all is parched and barren. The scattered live-oaks in the foreground, domineered by the will of the prevailing wind, have a half-frightened air; nothing of the repose of our maples, oaks, and white pines. The mountains themselves, rising with an almost monotonous uniformity of grade, are also burned as dry as a cinder, their dead-white rocks pallidly reflecting the remorseless sunlight. Not until near the summits or deep in the cañons do you find forest trees. The dull vegetation of the slopes of lesser altitude is of a shrubbery hard to penetrate, the most common sorts being a so-called greasewood (not the plant known in Colorado by that name) and a disagreeable thorn-bush, which, however slightly broken as you force your way through it, gives forth a sticky, milk-white juice; less frequent is the Manzanita, its smooth, reddish brown being prettier to the eye than yielding to the push." These slopes abound in rattlesnakes, and there are myriads of lizards or "swifts."
Amenities of Scientific Controrersy.—Says the Independent, April 20, 1893: "Not on the ground of Incompetency, but on the ground of courtesy and decency, we will say that there ought to be a certain overhauling of the United States Geological Survey. Our attention has been called to articles in the American Anthropologist and the Literary Northwest by William J McGee, member of the Geological Survey, criticising a geological work recently written by a competent gentleman not connected with the Survey, but who has given great attention for many years to surface geology. This review is sprinkled with such words, applied to the author of this volume, as 'idlers,' 'pitiable paupers,' 'swindle,' 'harpies,' 'parasites,' 'shyster,' 'gull,' 'vulture,' and 'betinseled charlatan.' It is a long while since we have seen so indecent an article."
The Channels of Mars.—A new explanation of the channels of Mars is offered by Mr. T. W. Kingsmill, of Shanghai, China, as follows: As Mars revolves round the sun, under the rule of gravitation, it must have tides on its surface; and since its moons are not sufficiently large to cause any sensible rise, its tides must be mostly solar. Now, the best views we have of this planet are when it is in opposition—that is, when we are interposed between it and the sun, so that we should always see it best at high tide. The writer then makes rather a strong point of


Family Literacy Day is celebrated each January 27 in Canada, so we thought we'd take the opportunity to share some of our favourite Canadian authors for the preschool crowd. These are books that are a huge hit with our kids AND don't make us parents cringe while reading! Be sure to add your picks in the comments – we could always use some new titles to read!
Need a baby shower gift? Kate Beaton's King Baby is my new go-to book to gift & The Princess & The Pony is a much-requested read in our house.
Ruth Ohi's Fox & Squirrel are awesome literary friends to have & the artful inspiration of Scribble will bring a smile to your face.
Funnily enough, I first discovered Marie-Louise Gay's Stella & Sam while searching for suitable apps for toddlers. Now her books have filled our shelves!
Jeremy Tankard is a high on my list of favourites. Our whole family can recite Grumpy Bird by heart!
Thanks to our many, many readings of Sheree Fitch's Sleeping Dragons All Around, I've had to perfect a Mocha Maple Chocolate Cake. Maybe I'll remember to blog the recipe someday!
What are your favourite books to enjoy as a family? I'd love to see some suggestions in the comments!
I think as parents we all recognize that learning to read is important for our children. But I know sometimes parents can be worried about HOW to help kids learn to read. So here are my two easy, awesome ways to encourage reading with your children.
ONE: Establish a designated daily story time. A bedtime story is a simple way to introduce a routine – and feel free to start when your child is an infant, but don't think you've missed the boat if they're already in school. Make it happen! Find a kid-friendly chapter book to read together as a family, perhaps one with a movie tie-in that you can work towards watching together when you're finished reading (say, Harry Potter or Charlie and the Chocolate Factory). Sit down with the paper each morning and read the headlines – or skip to the 'today's pet for adoption' section. Maybe you have time to read a story while supper in cooking. The key is to set a consistent time when you and your child read together and stick to it.
TWO: Make sure your kids see you reading! This can be novels, but it can also be the newspaper, magazines, graphic novels, album lyrics – everything counts! Show them that reading is something you do on your own, not just with them. It helps send the message that reading is important, not just for learning, but as a lifelong skill – and that it's not something to leave behind in childhood.
My wife is off to read at my son's school today armed with Pete the Cat. He borrowed it from school yesterday and was more excited to have that read to him this morning than eat breakfast. His French mom also introduced him to the French version of the character (Pat le chat).
For bedtime, his dad (me) will read a bunch of things by author Mo Willems. We started with his Pigeon books, but are now really digging his Elephant & Piggie series. We are both getting a good chuckle out of Knuffle Bunny and Cat the Cat also by the same author. He writes and draws in a way that is funny for adults too. Highly recommend. The libraries have lots.
We LOVE Knuffle Bunny! Mo Willems is a sure bet every time.
My guy laughs so hard he gets the hiccups when I do Knuffle Bunny gibberish kid talk. Mo Willems is a sure bet. Makes me want to be a children's author.

I don't consider myself a movie buff; I'm very mainstream when it comes to music and movies. However, I love trivia and random facts. So naturally I love finding out that there are so many films being produced in Louisiana.
All numbers and locations on this list were derived from Wikipedia and IMDB.
This list is in no particular order, but we are starting with one of my favorite movies filmed in Louisiana. Filming took place in Metairie, though the city was heavily doctored to be as unrecognizable as possible. Still, if you pay enough attention you may notice the Crescent City Connection or distinct French Quarter architecture. The school shown in the film is non other than Riverdale High School.
I'm not too familiar with this movie; I haven't seen it yet, but with the knowledge that it was filmed in my home state I'll surely give it a pass. Wikipedia doesn't say much about the production or location, IMDB tells us at least the intro was filmed in St. Bernard Parish.
Oh I could write a report on this movie if need be, but I'll refrain from doing that. I won't pretend I'm surprised, though, that a movie about slavery could find a fitting atmosphere at one of our plantation homes. Though much of the filming occurs in California and Wyoming, the crew found themselves in Wallace, LA for portions of the movie to be filmed in Evergreen Plantation.
Fantastic Four is a hit or miss for most people. After doing some research about the rough journey that the film had going through production, it is no surprise that it wouldn't resonate with everyone. However, it earns some major cool points for the fact that 72 days of filming in the Celtic Media Center of Baton Rouge made this movie happen!
It would make sense that a movie featuring a Reverend from Baton Rouge be set in, well, Baton Rouge. I've seen a few films with 'The Exorcism" in the title but I'm positive that I've watched this one some years back. Louisiana does have an ominous spookiness hidden underneath the beauty.
I'm no pro film critic, but I see Nicholas Cage as being in the same boat as Adam Sandler: you love him or hate him. Regardless, this 2014 film starring Nick Cage has got to be on your watch list simply because you'll get to see what these producers and directors did to turn Baton Rouge into an apocalyptic hell.
Wow, put this move on the TOP of my need-to-watch list. Seriously, I'm going rent it tonight. Filming for this movie took place all over Louisiana for about 60% of the production work, according to Wikipedia. Places like the NASA Michoud Plant in New Orleans, LA HWY 15, Sicily Island High, and more were used to create this universe.
One of my dad's favorite films to play when it aired on TV frequently, The Guardian has a lot of relevance to Louisiana residents. The movie follows the Coast Guard and their efforts, including glory shots of rescues made during Hurricane Katrina in NOLA. Camera crews found themselves in Shreveport, Bossier City, and Minden for the filming of The Guardian.
I was half interested in viewing this horror flick, until now. Knowing that the majority of shooting takes place solely at Loyola University in New Orleans puts this movie quite a bit farther up on my watch list. Well, that and the fact that my girlfriend is a horror movie buff and will kinda force me to watch this one.
I've seen all the Jurassic movies, and I pretty much love them all. Some movies don't need to be perfect for me. Transformers is a good example: big robots, fighting and guns, that's enough for me! However Jurassic World may now be on my favorites as it was partially filmed at the abandoned Six Flags in New Orleans.


Creating Musical Theatre was an interesting work. I enjoyed reading the interviews, learning how the various interviewees had kickstarted their careers, and how they went about creating a show. The only downside was the limited scope. All were essentially choreographers, though some had also branched into directing. I would have liked to have seen a mix of choreographers, directors, designers and musical directors interviewed, to give a more thorough overview of putting on a show, but maybe other works could/would cover the areas neglected in this selection.

Watch Out, Prince George: The New Royal Children to Know
The Dragon Prince of Bhutan has a calendar, Prince Sverre Magnus of Norway dabs and Princess Leonor and Sofia look like Sweet Valley twins
By Margaret Abrams • 07/10/17 3:15pm
The knee-sock loving Prince George and his two-year-old sister Princess Charlotte might be the most well known royal children, but they certainly aren't the only notable young future monarchs.
Of course, there are plenty of 20-something royals attempting to become as well-known as Kate Middleton, including Princess Olympia who recently threw a birthday celebration truly fit for a princess, and Meghan Markle, who might be leaving her acting days behind, but they are all a bit too old to count as regal youths.
However, these small royals, who might not receive the same fanfare as their compatriot Prince George, are still worthy of their own devoted followings.

Prince Sverre Magnus might be a bit older than George at 11, but he's certainly rather wild, especially for someone who's third in line for Norway's throne—perhaps he's the next Prince Harry, pre-publicity tour of redemption? The youth has already been spotted dabbing alongside his family on the palace balcony, which is certainly more notable than the usual high-socked, exceedingly polite Prince George wave.
Prince Magnus might get his naughty streak from his father, the Crown Prince of Norway, who unexpectedly shaved off his beard during the same event, an extravagant birthday banquet for his parents, King Harald and Queen Sonja.
The Dragon Prince of Bhutan

The Dragon Prince of Bhutan might sound fearsome, but the name belongs to a small boy who often stars in the royal office's free monthly calendar. To follow along with the prince's exploits and monthly costumes, simply see what the Queen of Bhutan posts on Instagram or subscribe to the calendar.
From posing in snow suits to celebrating his first birthday in a traditional yellow gho, or knee-length robe, in February, Prince Jigme Namgyel Wangchuck certainly gives Prince George serious competition in the robe department. However, unlike Prince George's parents, the royal family in Bhutan isn't quite as staid. As polygamy is legal in Bhutan, the former King married four sisters; however, Prince Jigme's Oxford educated father is said to not be continuing that particular practice.

If you're looking for two elegant royal children in the same family, much like Prince George and Princess Charlotte, the royal family in Spain has you covered with Princess Leonor and Princess Sofia. The pair are two years apart, but could easily pass for twins, à la Elizabeth and Jessica Wakefield of Sweet Valley fame.
While the sisters might look like preppy Upper East Side princesses, especially as they don matching designer ensembles regularly, Princess Leonor is the eventual heir to the throne.
Prince Alexander of Sweden

Sweden has a history of ridiculously good looking royal babies, which is entirely unsurprising considering the parentage—Prince Carl Philip looks like a Disney prince and Princess Sofia is a former swimsuit model and reality star. Now, another royal baby is on the way.
The couple announced they're expecting a sibling for Prince Alexander in September 2017. Prince George needs to prepare mentally and physically for his ultimate challenger.
