A quick check to see the variety and quantity of information on your topic can save you a lot of trouble and time later in the term. You don't want a topic for which there is little or no information available. It is best to start with general terms and then narrow down to the specific as you refine your topic.
Check Annie for encyclopedias (general and/or subject depending on topic), handbooks, and textbooks.
Check for statistical sources (the Statistical Abstract of the United States and almanacs are good places to check for many topics to see what types of data are available).


A freak heavy hailstorm transformed Exmouth town centre today (Saturday) to resemble a Winter Wonderland. Shoppers ran for cover as the heavens opened around lunchtime. The spectacle was however shortlived as the downpour lasted less than ten minutes and the resulting covering of ice soon disappeared.

I was privledged to study Botanical drawing with the late Mike Hickey, who taught me about the character of growing plants. I learnt that the tradition of botanical drawing dates back more than three thousand years. The earliest Plant illustrations were often produced to enable the identification of medicinal plants. Eventually, renaissance artists, such as Bellini and Durer painted natural beautiful plants, often as embellishments in large compositions.

York City's violence-plagued west end again has a neighborhood policing unit.
York City Police Chief Wes Kahley and Mayor Kim Bracey on Tuesday afternoon announced that the former Gus' Bar at 594-596 W. Princess St. is starting operations as a community-policing outpost.
"We're excited about the fact that we're able to bring our police officers back to this neighborhood," Bracey said.
Kahley said the outpost will be staffed by three officers and a sergeant. Their hours will vary by what they're doing on a given day. There won't be officers there around the clock normally, but they'll switch things up to make sure they interact with as many people as possible and keep criminals off balance, the chief said.
"These officers will handle everything from small quality-of-life issues to issues such as shootings and homicides," he said.
CeaseFire veterans: York needs patience, commitment
Kahley said there were community policing units in the area for a long period of time until January of this year, when the department had to shift its neighborhood officers back onto patrol after retirements and other personnel matters temporarily diminished that division. But now that the department's been able to bring some new officers on, it has enough officers to restaff some of the outposts around the city.
The chief said the west end of the city has seen a significant amount of violence this year.
"There's no coincidence things spiked here when the officers aren't here," he said. He noted that the number of calls for police in the area went down 44 percent the last time a community-policing outpost was set up in the area; that included a 47 percent reduction in shootings, he said.
In addition to the former Gus', an outpost in the southern part of the city will open in the near future, Kahley said.
Plans: Kahley said one of the first tasks in the west end will be working on the gates the city put in many of the breezeways between row homes in 2013. He said the officers will work to fix some of them up, lock them and work with residents to keep them maintained.
"Crime prevention through environmental design," Kahley calls it — closing off the small, dark breezeways that can afford criminals a space for illicit dealings or an escape route from the police.
New plans aim to boost Salem Square neighborhood
As the mayor and chief spoke briefly, a group of kids from Logos Academy looked on and clapped, as did several adult residents and local officials, such as city council Vice President Michael Helfrich, council members Sandie Walker and Henry Nixon, acting economic and community development director Shilvosky Buffaloe and a dozen police officers.
"This is really a community coming together," said Bill Faron, president of the Salem Square Community Association.
Members of the neighborhood association brought along a printout of The York Dispatch's front page from July 12, 2011, when the paper reported that York City had purchased the building that had housed Gus', which Kahley called a nuisance bar.
Police: 2 shot in York City in separate weekend incidents
Gail Reed, the office manager from the Salem Square organization, was holding it. She never lived in that part of town when Gus' was open, but she's heard horror stories. People are glad it's closed, she said, but that's not solving everything, of course. After all, among other assaults, two people were shot to death in the west end in the last few months, and a man suffered a gunshot wound just down the block from Gus' on Sunday.
"We are going to take back our neighborhood again," Reed said.

The Vicious Cycle: Media Has Extreme Effect On Polls
in Conservative Headlines, Election 2016
Donald Trump actually revealed some good news yesterday, but it was dwarfed by the tidal wave of negative punditry.
Even as a Daily Beast piece declared that "the race between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton is all but over," the Republican nominee and his party raised $82 million last month, barely trailing Clinton's $90 million. This is a dramatic improvement from the spring, when the Trump team was practically out of cash.
But the media remain laser-focused on Trump's troubles, and some of that is driven by polling.
When a candidate says or does something damaging, journalists are quick to check the next polls. If there's not much change, we say it hasn't hurt him. If he takes a hit in the numbers, we often go into hair-on-fire mode.
There are two problems with this approach. One, polls are ephemeral. They blip up and down. A convention bounce soon fades. Trump was nowhere in the polls when he launched his campaign and somehow managed to win the Republican nomination. So those who are writing his political obituary are being short-sighted.
Second, it's a self-fulfilling prophecy. Given the hammering that Trump has taken over the last week—whether it's deserved or not—it would be shocking if he wasn't dropping in the polls.
The latest Fox News poll has Clinton leading Trump by 49 to 39 percent. An NBC/Wall Street Journal poll released last night gives Clinton a 9-point edge, and a McClatchy survey puts the lead at a whopping 15 points.
Of course, a Reuters survey out yesterday gives Clinton a 4-point lead, and an L.A. Times poll has her ahead by just 1 point. NBC, on Tuesday, had the Democratic nominee with an 8-point edge. I don't doubt that Hillary has a significant lead, but the picture is a bit muddled.
More important, of course, are the swing state polls. It's increasingly clear that Trump has a narrow path to the presidency; the same would be true of any Republican candidate. A generic Democratic nominee goes into the election pretty much assured of 242 electoral votes, simply by holding the 19 states (plus D.C.) that have gone blue in every presidential race since 1992.
That means Trump has to win a bunch of crucial swing states, including Florida and Ohio, to get to 270.
It looked until recently that Trump might actually be able to put Pennsylvania into play. But a Franklin & Marshall poll this week has Clinton leading, 49 to 38 percent.
New Hampshire is sometimes a swing state, but a WBUR survey has Trump trailing, 51 to 34 percent.
A Suffolk poll shows Clinton ahead in Florida, 48 to 42 percent.
These state surveys are also more important because the candidates are starting to make decisions about where to invest advertising dollars and staff resources, and have to write off battlegrounds where they have little chance of winning.
Nate Silver was wrong about Trump in the primaries, but he now gives Clinton a 78.4 percent chance of winning in November. His 538 site also says that down-ballot Republicans may have to separate themselves from Trump to survive:
"Republicans in most Senate battlegrounds are running ahead of Trump in their states. That may last, increasing the chances that the GOP hangs on to their Senate majority. But it's also possible that Trump begins to drag down his party's down-ballot candidates." The Democrats need just four seats to win Senate control if Clinton captures the White House.
Still, it's time for the poll-obsessed press to take a deep breath. The polls are not good for Donald Trump right now. But it's the beginning of August.

William J. Merrigan
WILLIAM J. MERRIGAN was born June 10, 1891 in Philadelphia to Richard and Annie Kennedy Merrigan. His father had come to America from England in 1885. The family was living in Philadelphia when the census was taken in 1900. William was the oldest child, followed by two brothers, Daniel and Francis. Three more children came in the 1900s, Richard, May, and Margaret. Sadly, the children were orphaned by 1910. William and Daniel went into the world and found work, Francis and Richard were in St. John's Orphan Asylum in Philadelphia, while the two girls were sent to live with their uncle, William Kennedy and grandmother Mary Kennedy.
At some point after the 1910 Census William Merrigan enlisted in the United States Navy, where he worked as a fireman in a ship's engine room. A civilian again by 1918, William Merrigan had made his way to Atlantic City, New Jersey where he worked aboard a fishing boat to support his three youngest siblings.
After serving in the military during World War I, William Merrigan married around 1921. He had joined the Camden Fire Department by April of 1922. On April 28, 1922, while serving with Engine Company 7, William Merrigan was taken to Cooper Hospital after being injured while attempting to rescue an 11 year-old boy from a burning building at 1009 Broadway.
The 1924 City Directory reveals that William Merrigan and his wife Florence were living at 1432 South 10th Street. By 1929 the family, which included sons William Jr. and Kenneth P. Merrigan, had moved to 1610 Norris Street. Fire Department records from 1931 show William Merrigan still living at the Norris Street address.
On October 4, 1935 Sergeant George Lee of the New York Shipyard Police discovered a fire in a 200 x 70 foot warehouse. As he transmitted the initial alarm from the power house, other yard employees also reported the blaze to security at the main gate. Box 312 was pulled by the officer at the Broadway gate at 12:45 A.M. Chief Lennox ordered a third alarm on his arrival as fire roared from large roof ventilators. Stored at the south end of the warehouse were large quantities of benzene, gasoline and other explosive cleaning solvents. Fire fighters pressed an all out attack and prevented the blaze from spreading to these inflammable stores. Fireman William Merrigan of Engine Company 10 was buried under a falling partition wall. He was rescued by other members of his unit, who had themselves narrowly escaped the collapse. As the wind shifted, acid fumes were carried to a large crowd of spectators causing some panic. Under severe radiant heat, the fronts of fifteen dwellings on the east side of Broadway between Lester and Gordon Terrace became seriously exposed. These properties were saved only through the tenacious efforts of Camden's Bravest. Within forty-five minutes the spectacular blaze was contained to the warehouse but not before imposing a $50,000 property loss.
While assigned to Engine Company 3, located at 1819 Broadway, Fire Fighter Merrigan died of a heart attack induced by heat exhaustion on July 30th, 1940, while fighting the fire at the Hollingshead factory at North 9th and Market Streets.
William J. Merrigan was survived by his wife, Florence and sons William James Merrigan Jr. and Kenneth P. Merrigan. William J. Merrigan Jr. served as a member of the Hi Nella NJ fire department from 1960 to 1985.

On my tour in the Alps to the turn of the year something happened right at the beginning, which could be very unpleasant a few days later. When unloading my backpack from the car, the gasoline bottle with pump inserted slips out of the side backpack, unfortunately falls on the valve, to which the cooking unit is screwed and sprinkles the ice under our feet with gasoline according to constructmaterials.
Fortunately it was still possible for me to convert the stove to gas and buy a large cartridge in Zermatt.
Before I thought this part was inside of metal and only externally covered with plastic. My "test", however, showed the opposite, and even my comrades treated their Primus pumps like raw eggs. The Optimus Nova for comparison in this area is completely made of metal, which is no guarantee, but this fall would surely have coped better.
Last but not least, Primus impresses with an excellent customer service , which exchanges the pump without murmuring on the incident.


One of the things I think we could be looking at more in open ed in general, and the OU in particular, are authoring environments that allow educators to create their own interactives.
runtime management (js can run in a browser, R or py likely to require a backend kernel to execute the code).
One of the things I started to come round to when creating various binderhub demos to show off how Jupyter notebooks can be used to generate and embed rich media assets for different topic areas (see slides 25-33 of the presentation from Dev.ac.uk embedded below, for example) was that a good collection of IPython magics could provide the basis for end-user developed online materials featuring embedded interactives.
For example, the py / folium magic I started working on makes it relatively straightforward to create an embedded map within a Jupyter notebook, that can then be saved and rendered as a standalone HTML page featuring an embedded interactive map.
It struck me that the magic should also work in the context of Scriptedforms, eg as per Creating Simple Interactive Forms Using Python + Markdown Using ScriptedForms + Jupyter.
You can also do "live development" by editing and saving the markdown and then reloading the browser page.
bind those form elements as parameters in an IPython magic call.


To celebrate the trees for Tu BiShevat, I'm going to make a yummy chocolate bark. My favorite is chopped walnuts, dried cherries, and mini marshmallows on dark chocolate – it's Rocky Road! What kind of bark will you dream up?

Keywords: Immediate; post-operative outcomes; stapled and hand sewn techniques; oesophagogastrostomy
Background: Oesophagogastrostomy is a very crucial surgical management.
Objective:The purpose of the present study was to observe the immediate post-operative outcomes of stapled and hand sewn techniques during oesophagogastrostomy.
Methodology: This single centre, parallel randomized clinical trial was conducted in the Department of Thoracic Surgery at National institute of Diseases of the Chest and Hospital, Dhaka, Bangladesh from January 2011 to December 2011 for a period of one year. Prior to commencement of this study the study protocol was approved by the thesis committee of NIDCH. Patients were purposefully selected from different surgery ward of NIDCH irrespective of age and sex of patients for the study.Patients were divided into two groups designated as group A and B.Stapled oesophagogastric anastomosis was performed in group A and hand sewn anastomosis was done in group B.Immediate post-operative complication were recorded.
Result: A total of 60 patients of oesophageal or gastric cardia carcinoma were recruited for this study. Of them 32 cases were assigned to Stapler method and 28 cases to Hand-sewn method of oesophagogastrostomy. The mean age of the patients of group A and group B were 56.1±12.7 years and 55.3±8.3 years respectively. Regarding blood loss during operation, the table shows that in group A mean + SD were 430.4±63.2 ml and in group B mean + SD were 529.6 +86.9 ml. In one stage operation in group A it was mean + SD i.e. 362.2±38.3 ml and in group B it was mean + SD 529.6±86.9 ml. In two stage operation in group A it was mean 466.2±39.7 ml and in group B it was mean±SD 585.6±62.2 ml. Respiratory complication developed in 9.4% of the patients in group A and 17.9% patients in group B. Cardiac complication developed in 3.1 % of the patients in group A and 7.1 % of patients in group B. Wound infection developed in 12.5% of the patients in group A and 10.7% of the patients in group B.
Conclusion: In conclusion most of the immediate anastomotic complications are less in stapled anastomotic technique than hand sewn technique

Gulabi Gang a Women Vigilante Group Track and Beat Abusive Husbands
Gulabi Gang Story
Back in 2006, Sampat Pal Devi started Gulabi Gang a Women Vigilante Group in the Banda district of Uttar Pradesh when she saw a man beating his wife mercilessly even though she was pleading to stop.
The next day she came along with five women with lathi sticks (weapon) and taught him a lesson so that he won't repeat it again.
The region was in such poor condition the women were facing many problems following old practices such as caste system, domestic violence, child marriage, female illiteracy, dowry, and more.
The women's group is popularly known as the Gulabi or "Pink Gang," as the members wear pink sarees and hold bamboo sticks to use as a weapon for punishing oppressing husbands, fathers, brothers and combat domestic violence and desertion.
Gulabi Gang Economically Self Sufficient
Gulabi Gang is more popular in North India, it slowly increased in the number of members and now it has a huge membership and they actively involve in strengthening women empowerment through providing education, teaching self-defense, and being economically self-sufficient.
Some people made allegations on Pal that she has started the group for her personal interest to improve financially but she doesn't care and still she involves in the gang.
The Gang has a process to follow, they have established several stations, and each station has a section leader called "commander"
They are those in charge of daily activities and the small problems of the people. She sends out regular updates and reports major issues to the gang leader.
First, they will inform to police, if they don't take action on the complaint then the gang takes over it may be the police or the government doesn't care. Even local policies say "they are doing good work in solving the issues". The gang also works with NGOs to assist technological needs.
Gulabi gang was the inspiration for movies and books.
They got Kelvinator 11th GR8! Women Award from Indian Television Academy and Godfrey Phillips Bravery Award for social bravery offered by Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, and Delhi.
In India we have seen women have been oppressed from ancient times, this group gives the women the strength, hopes, and freedom to raise their voices.

Conor McGregor's punishment from the Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC) will not be handed down on Monday as expected.
McGregor was granted a continuance in his case for the UFC 229 melee, according to MMAFighting. Meaning, McGregor's hearing that was expected to take place on Monday has been postponed. As well, there is no timeframe for when the hearing will be reorganized.
Meanwhile, Khabib Nurmagomedov's hearing is expected to take place on Monday, but the lightweight champion is not expected to be in Las Vegas. According to MMAFighting, a settlement in his case may happen, or his team could possibly file for a continuance.
Both McGregor and Nurmagomedov are currently suspended indefinitely for their actions at UFC 229. Following Nurmagomedov's submission win over McGregor, he jumped out of the Octagon and attacked Dillon Danis and McGregor's corner. Along with being suspended, the NSAC is currently withholding half of his $2 million fight purse.
While that was all happening, McGregor was seen climbing to the top of the Octagon. There, he threw a punch at someone on Nurmagomedov's team and was then brought back into the Octagon. However, the NSAC never held any of McGregor's purse, as they originally believed he didn't do anything. It wasn't until later when they were watching the tapes that the NSAC deemed Conor McGregor's actions unacceptable.
The bad news for McGregor's hearing being postponed is the fact his punishment will also be postponed. Meaning, the Irishman can't fight again until his punishment is handed down and if he gets suspended he can't return until the suspension is served. That would be a big blow to the UFC who are reportedly targeting a mini-lightweight tournament in which Nurmagomedov would take on Tony Ferguson, while McGregor would take on Dustin Poirier. Then the winners would then face off.
If McGregor and Nurmagomedov are suspended for a long time, Dana White knows the focus is on making fights, with or without McGregor and Nurmagomedov available.
What do you think the suspension should be for Conor McGregor?

Week 5: Duck, duck, grey duck?
We'll get to Grey Duck in a second.
But the Mitch Trubisky era in Chicago started in earnest last night, as the Bears rookie quarterback made his career debut.
The Bears have dropped to 1-4 on the season but they found something under center last night, a little something some call hope.
One team source told me at the end of the first half it's the most electric he's seen the crowd all season -- and that was when the score was 3-2.....What his teammates told me they appreciated was how calm he was playing from behind on a night the offense struggled to get any rhythm-- but he did finally find the end zone with about 12 minutes left in the game, Trubisky used play action to create space, rolled right and signaled to TE Zach Miller to go left- the pass was almost intercepted and Trubisky knew it - but he'll take it. He finished w a TD and 2 turnovers but Miller told us why those stats don't tell the whole story.
Here's what you need to know about the current state of the bears offense the punter Pat O'Donnel's 38 yard completion to Benny Cunnigham for the TD - was the Bears longest pass play of the year.
Here's what's interesting -- it didn't feel like a losing locker room last night.. i've been in soldier field for close losses that were a lot more deflating - those felt like a ceiling, this feels more like a floor. As WR kendall wright told me, we are in great spirits - they can build off this loss and he'll get better with time.
Trubisky's teammates liked what they saw. What they didnt like was penalties and costly mistakes on their part. As one Bears coach said this week , Trubisky isn't a magic wand -- everyone needs to do their part , and the bears need to clean up their play. "I think our guys feel it. They feel his presence," coach John Fox said. "… For a first outing, I thought he was really good. I know his teammates feel the same way. He'll just get better with time."
What they need to do is put him in a better position to get through his reads and stay ahead of the sticks -- offensive lineman Kyle Long told us he didn't look like someone who had only 13 starts in college.
Long said: "He knows all the check, knows how to calm down a group of fat guys out there."
Kendall wright: I know he will bounce back, eager to get out there and played well
After the interception to Zach Miller that cost this team the game -- Trubisky went to the sideline and told Kendall Wright that the loss was his fault. I told him, he good, you don't need to put nothing on yourself, you gotta learn from yourself.
"I felt like this was on me," Trubisky said. B"ut (my teammates) know I'm going to go back to work and I'm going to fix my mistakes. I'm going to watch this film and be critical of myself."
The talk of the Vikings locker room wasn't Bradford's re-injured knee, or Case Keenum's standout performance as a backup (again) - but Duck Duck... Grey Duck. Kyle Rudolph has his teammates play the children's game we all know and love, Duck Duck Goose. Except in Minnesota it's called Duck Duck Grey Duck. Let's just say MN native Adam Thielen was VERY confused.

Morro Bay, California
Brazzaville (disambiguation)
Brazzaville (US band)
Morro Bay is a waterfront city in San Luis Obispo County, California. As of the 2010 census, the city population was 10,234, down from 10,350 at the 2000 census.
The prehistory of Morro Bay relates to Chumash settlement, particularly near the mouth of Morro Creek. At least as early as the Millingstone Horizon thousands of years before present, there was an extensive settlement along the banks and terraces above Morro Creek.
The first European land exploration of Alta California, the Spanish Portola expedition, came down Los Osos Valley and camped near today's Morro Bay on September 8, 1769. Franciscan missionary and expedition member Juan Crespi noted in his diary that "we saw a great rock in the form of a round morro".
Morro Rock later gave its name to the town. The descriptive term morro is common to the Spanish, Portuguese and Italian languages, and the word is part of many place names where there is a distinctive and prominent rock formation. Note that the similar Spanish descriptive word "moro" indicates a bluish color rather than a shape.

Brazzaville is the capital and largest city of the Republic of the Congo and is located on the Congo River. As of the 2007 census, it had a population of 1,373,382. The projection of the CNSEE (national statistics centre) shows an increase to 1.7 million by 2015, but the projection was made before 2007 and based on a lower estimate of the population (1.26 million) than recorded in the census. The United Nations Population Division estimate for 2014 is 1.827 million. The populous city of Kinshasa (more than 10 million inhabitants in 2014), capital of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, lies across the Congo River from Brazzaville. Together with Kinshasa, the combined conurbation of Kinshasa-Brazzaville has thus about 12 million inhabitants (although significant political and infrastructure challenges prevent the two cities from functioning with any meaningful connection). Over a third of the population of the Republic of Congo lives in the capital, and it is home to 40% of non-agricultural employment. It is also a financial and administrative capital.

Morro Bay, Brazzaville
It's almost dawn
She walks down Market Street alone
Some drunken johns
Left bruises on her arms
This ice cold world
Gas station bathroom roadside girl
Fluorescent stalls
With gang graffiti on the walls
But maybe one day
Some clear blue Sunday
She'll meet a guy who wants to stay
Someone who loves her
Kisses and hugs her
Along the shores of Morro Bay
The highway home
Back to the sky where we belong
It feels so long
When you're on your own
But maybe one day...


Justin Rose and Maurice Lacroix entered into a three-year contract over a close cooperation with the possibility to be extended for two more years.
Their mutual appreciation and joint efforts are aimed at giving birth to some creative international projects.
According to CEO Martin Bachmann, Justin Rose is the best imaginable ambassador for their company. The Maurice Lacroix watches are intended for strong, outstanding personalities – authentic people, who really know what they want out of life and interested not only in social status.
This precisely describes Justin Rose, a true embodiment of Maurice Lacroix's spirit. The company's authenticity credo is reflected in manufacturing unique products, wspirithich true value is not in their looks only.
Justin Rose, born on July 30, 1980, prefers the best quality, reliable things, because if he decides on something, he wants to have it in his life as long as possible. As to the watch, he equally values its look and function. Wearing a kind of bling on the wrist is not his style.
Justin Rose started his dazzling career of a golfer at the age of 17, the following day after he had holed a 40 meter pitch shot for a birdie on his final hole at the 1998 British Open at Royal Birkdale. He took up the 4th place then.
Now Justin Rose is considered to be one of the best golf players in Europe with a number 6 career in the world rankings. In 2007 he became the winner of the European Tour Order of Merit and that of Volvo Masters in Valderama.
In 2008, it was his first time to play for the European Ryder Cup team, where he secured a strong victory over Phil Mickelson in the singles.

RedKeyU2F | Safe. Secure. Peace of Mind.
Create your own Universal 2nd Factor Token.
RedKey is a small, portable, physical security device (token) to support logging in to your online accounts. Think of it like an extra lock on your door.
Passwords are dangerous. Public key cryptography (and RedKey) protect against phishing, key loggers, session hijacking, man-in-the-middle, malware attacks, and many more.
Cryptographic co-processor with secure hardware-based key storage. Tamper resistant with temperature and voltage anti-tampering sensors.
RedKey U2F is based on the Universal Second Factor (U2F) Standards from the FIDO Alliance. Second factor authentication ensures you are the only person who can access your account even if someone else knows your password.
Stops account takeovers. If a user is fooled into logging into a fake site, RedKey will fail on authentication because user logins are bound to the real site and the security check (cryptographic challenge) will fail.
Software from the open source U2FZero project can be reflashed on RedKey U2F.
Companies have failed to protect your data as they should. A RedKey physical token puts some power back into your hands. Without the physical key, your accounts can't be breached. This is an easy way to put your mind at ease.
Stores an indefinite number of services on the same key so practically no limit to the number of online accounts that can be protected.
Works without any software installation thanks to built-in browser support including Chrome, Opera, Firefox, Mozilla, Edge, etc.
Public key cryptography using elliptic curve p256 that protects against phishing, session hijacking, man-in-the-middle, malware attacks, and many more.
Super simple to use. When prompted, plug the USB security token in and push the button.
We know you will love our tokens but in case you don't, we have you covered. We will replace or refund your money because a satisfied customer is our goal.
We verify our code with the latest code verification an validation tools. Always time tested and we use our own products. We believe customers are not to be treated as test subjects.
Each service has the corresponding public key and our tokens sign each challenge. Your private keys are never available and reside in write only memory on the devices hardware encryption chip.
We buy, ship and assemble our tokens in Ohio for USA customers and BC for Canadian customers. It costs a little more but the peace of mind is worth it to us.
We provide the product how you want it. Pre-built, in kit form, or you can customize it to your exact requirements.
Thanks for delivering top quality services to your clients. It just takes a minute to get an answer from you when in difficulties. I use the chat service and I can say that the RedKey staff knows how to shorten the physical distance to its clients.
Thanks again for making our experience with RedKey the best!
Thank you very much for creating a kit that even a novice can complete. I had no prior electronics experience and I assembled my first security token perfectly the first time. I now have a device I can trust as I built it myself. I especially loved the HD videos and high resolution pictures which explained perfectly the orientation of the parts. Using the supplied solder paste, I had no idea that perfect solder joints could be accomplished without soldering.
Wow! Great customer service and a real pleasure working with your staff!
We had RedKey design a custom board for our trade show. I provided them with a URL and they produced 2000 boards at a fraction of the cost had I purchased a non branded Token elsewhere. It was the hit of our trade show as potential customers came to our booth and get a free token in exchange for leaving their business card. With people utilizing their Tokens multiple times per day, it will generate strong brand recognition for us while keeping them safe. Money well spent and a win for everyone!

What is the most successful game similar to Zelda on PC?
zespri:
Or which one you personally like the most?
Wikipedia says:
--- Quote ---The Legend of Zelda is one of Nintendo's most prominent and successful franchises, selling over 80 million copies as of 2017; many of its games are considered by critics to be among the greatest video games of all time.
--- Quote ---Life-to-date number units shipped, in millions
Game Year Sales
Breath of the Wild 2017 (Wii U/NS) 11.36
Also: Game ranking on metacritic is 96 or 97%.
Now I'm not saying that console game market operates in similar rules as PC game market, so I'm not looking to compare numbers. But the numbers above basically mean "universal success".
So my question is, if I want to have a similar experience as in Zelda games in general or in "Breath of the Wild" in particular, what are my best bets? And are they also considered "universal success" and if not, why?
TheVampire100:
Never played Breath of the Wild but what I heard from friends the game was actually closer to western rpgs than typical Zelda games. So basically Skyrim, The Witcher and similiar games.
If you are looking for more classic zelda, I would say Anodyne is quite "Zelda-like" but it is also very surreal and its hard to follow what you have to do.
Oceanhorn is similiar to "Wind Waker"with multiple islands that you have to sail to and typical dungeon gameplay.
The Tomb Raider reboot series comes very close to Zelda in terms of gameplay elements. You find different equipment that you need to get further into the game, you have to solve some puzzles and you can backtrack older regions to find missed stuff (or stuff you can only access after getting new equipment). It IS a shooter game however (no swordplay) and is marked "mature" for a reason.
Final Fantasy XV might be also close to Breath of the Wild but again, cannot confirm because I have never played BoW.
Treasure Adventure World is close to Zeda in terms of gameplay, although a 2D sidescroller.
Ittle Dew is a parody of the zelda Genre (the classic 2D ones) and because of this features many elements of those games. But since its a parody it does not take itself very seriously.
Thank you for this. Somehow I forgot to turn on notifications for this thread so reading it only now. Feels like these forums are much less active now than back in the days.
BadgerBadger:
A lot of the active game/gameplay discussion has moved over to Discord.
Yeah, I know. But even discord seems relatively quiet.

Review: HEY WORLD, HERE I AM – The Streisand Story
Australian artist Avigail Herman celebrates our favourite Funny Girl
By Kate Boston-Smith
There is no faulting Avigail Herman's vocal ability and technique. A mainstay of Australian music and theatre, people are more likely to recognize her voice than her name, and it is with this exceptional voice and her tremendous talent that she channels Streisand into the room with us for this year's Melbourne Cabaret Festival.
Performing in a difficult space, Herman opens her heart through the songs of Barbra Streisand to her audience. Herman is a true professional in every sense of the word. This show is classic and sleek and Herman is as intelligent as she is talented.
As the show title suggests, she tell stories of Streisand and her 40-year career while flawlessly covering her beloved and expansive body of music, including classics we all know and love to more obscure numbers that are playful and fun.
Lovers and fans of the stage and Hollywood diva will be on the edge of their seat as each song starts, and again when it finishes as there no knowing where Herman is going to take us next on this journey. The Streisand-uninitiated will enjoy learning about this incredible woman, all she has achieved and where she has come from.
Songs are breath-taking and wonderfully recognizable. At times I heard audience members singing along, tapping their feet and at one point, holding their beloveds in romantic embraces.
It was a beautiful show, and ideal for those wanting to be transported to a New York cabaret lounge for an hour of the wintery evening.
Performed by Avigail Herman and accompanied by Peter Bailey
Tonight and Sunday 24 July, 9.15pm
Tickets: $38 / $35

Petit Manan's Puffin Colony is a "Tern-Key" Success
By Bob Trapani, Jr. August 18, 2020
Atlantic puffins on Petit Manan Island

All seabirds have a certain beauty and charm – and all are worthy of efforts to respect and protect them, but one – the puffin, may very well be considered the most adorable of the marine bird species.
The general public's fascination with puffins is unquestioned. The mere sighting of one or more during sight-seeing cruises instantly spawns unbridled excitement and joy among passengers. And when one can view puffins and lighthouses together – well, for many, it simply doesn't get any better than this.
Today, the Atlantic puffin can be found at two Maine light stations – Matinicus Rock and Petit Manan, during the nesting season that goes from April to August each year.

Did you know that puffins "taking up residence" at the 16-acre Petit Manan Island is relatively new – and is a direct connection to the effectiveness of the seabird colony restoration / management efforts led by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service?
In speaking about the success of the revolutionary Project Puffin program in Maine, co-authors Stephen W. Kress and Derrick Z. Jackson stated in their wonderful 2015 book, entitled, Project Puffin, "The resurgence of Maine puffins has led to other new puffin and tern colonies. Notable is Petit Manan near Bar Harbor, part of the Maine Coastal Islands National Wildlife Refuge."
So, how did puffins come to call Petit Manan a nesting home? Well, the answer seems to be closely tied to the return of Arctic and common terns to the island.
A pair of Arctic terns and their chicks on Petit Manan Island.
As late as 1970, there were around fifteen hundred nesting terns on Petit Manan Island. The birds thrived on the island in part due to the presence of lighthouse keepers who had long been an asset with helping protect a variety of seabirds by minimizing the adverse impact of potential predators (animals, birds and humans).
However, this all changed in 1972 when the U.S. Coast Guard removed Petit Manan's resident keepers. The automation of the lighthouse not only removed the keeper's watchfulness over mariners at sea, it created another unintended consequence – the loss of protection for the terns against predators.
When the keepers departed, the black-backed and herring gulls moved in with force. Their destructive presence was so great that by the early 1980s, there were no nesting terns left on Petit Manan Island.

The tide turned back in favor of the displaced Arctic and common tern on Petit Manan Island, in mid-May 1984. A team effort between U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service and the College of the Atlantic in Bar Harbor initiated a much-needed program that simultaneously controlled the gull population, while cultivating the restoration of the tern colony.
The fruits of this noble effort were nearly immediate. In just one week the terns returned to Petit Manan. But the excitement did not end with the return of the seabirds. Six weeks later, by the end of June 1984, the island hosted an incredible 855 tern nests.
The rightful return of the terns to Petit Manan is a story nothing short of amazing, but how does it connect to Atlantic puffins who appear to have never nested on the island in the past?
Puffins are thriving on Petit Manan Island.
Stephen W. Kress and Derrick Z. Jackson answer this question in Project Puffin, stating, "In the case of Petit Manan, that garden was so well 'weeded' that puffins, of which there was no prior record of breeding, began landing on the island in 1984, likely because the presence of terns suggested that it would be a safe zone from gulls."
Kress and Jackson went on to note, "Although there were few rock crevices for natural nesting burrows, a few pairs began nesting in 1986. The first banded native puffin chicks from Petit Manan began returning in 1994 and began breeding in 1996. The colony increased to seventy-three breeding pairs in 2014, with high counts of almost two hundred puffins."
"Those seventy-three pairs helped push Maine over the one-thousand-puffin-pair mark on four islands, ten times the number that resided solely on Matinicus Rock in the early 1970s," said Kress and Jackson.
Pairs of nesting puffins on Petit Manan can range from the low sixties to a record high of 104 pairs, which occurred in 2009. The fluctuation is due in part to burrows being destroyed by storms during any given year.

In addition to Atlantic puffins and Arctic and common terns, Petit Manan Island is also home to nesting razorbills, black guillemots, common murre, Leach's storm-petrels, laughing gulls, and common eiders.
Petit Manan Island is one of the crown jewels of the Maine Coastal Islands National Wildlife Refuges. According to the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, "The Maine Coastal Islands National Wildlife Refuges span over 200 miles of Maine coastline and contain 49 offshore islands and four coastal parcels, totaling more than 8,000 acres. The refuge complex includes five national wildlife refuges –– Petit Manan, Cross Island, Franklin Island, Seal Island, and Pond Island. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service manages the refuge complex as part of the National Wildlife Refuge System."
US Fish & Wildlife Service leads a team effort to protect seabirds and manage the refuge on Petit Manan Island.
And if this wasn't enough, did you know that the lighthouse preservation efforts of the U.S Fish & Wildlife Service (USFWS) in Maine are exemplary? USFWS not only integrates the historic light station structures into their programs, they care for them in fine fashion too.
Without USFWS's commitment and dedication to lighthouse preservation, much of our lighthouse heritage on these remote islands would be endangered or already lost.
Lighthouse enthusiasts could not ask for anything more.
And of course, the restoration and management of seabird colonies at sites like Petit Manan and Matinicus Rock is the brightest "light" of all – and also in keeping with the history of these island stations where seabirds and the lights share an intertwined heritage that we are thankfully able to admire and cherish today!

The Lars Word: looking back, looking forward
January 3, 2015 by Colin Randall
Lars Knutsen
John McCormick writes: Lars Knutsen, who has been gracing these pages a lot longer than me, has made a resolution to post more on this site. That can only be good, as you can see from his reflections on the year we've had and the transfer window that opened a few hours ago:
So Sunderland have become a team which is "hard to beat", meaning that, aside from that out of character "aberration" at Southampton, we have been competitive in nearly all our games this season. And I do include the home defeat against Man. City, when they had 4 shots on target, scoring from every one, with Agüero in lethal form. And I am sure they knew they had been in a game fixture after that return on New Year's Day.
For fans looking back on the best parts of 2014 for the Black Cats, there was obviously the miraculous "Great Escape" as a highlight – see below – but also the way we have been dominating Newcastle. The 1-0 win at St. James' on December 21st was terrific, but not really unexpected, given our recent form against the Mags, it appears that we are rapidly becoming their bogey team.
Lars Knutsen touching base
Talking of bogey teams, is Hull now ours? We did very badly against them last season and after the heights of Adam Johnson's effort a few days before, it was a very limp performance against Steve Bruce's side, which had more possession, scoring three goals, and ended five-and-a-half hour goal drought.
To be honest, winning one home game this season is not acceptable. The lack of goals is clear to any spectator. As Poyet has himself said, we do need a striker who can reliably hit 20+ goals a season, and that is something the team has not had since Darren Bent's departure.
Are we playing boring football? I say no to that, as many of the games have been very entertaining and we have only lost 6 league games, and usually while "having a go". But the fact of 11 draws in 20 games tells its own story; we have not really had the quality to turn many of those into victories. Again, the need for a reliable high-scoring striker is very obvious.
I must admit I expected more this season. Take another look at the way we destroyed Chelsea, Man. Utd., West Brom and Cardiff during that "Great Escape". The turnaround after the 1-5 loss to Spurs, when Poyet memorably said "he needed a miracle" did not happen immediately. We unluckily lost at home to Everton, and if you have a chance to watch the Youtube video, courtesy of Barry Unwin, just look at how disconsolate Wes Brown looks after his own goal at 0.46 in:
Brown went on with the other senior professional and Connor Wickham to turn the season around in spectacular fashion, which justifiably raised expectations for 2014-15.
How did things turn around so memorably at the end of last season? We did have fighters like Bardsley and Colback in the side, but if we look at the team which won 2-1 at Chelsea in April the only absentees are Alonso, Colback and Borini. What happened to that spark? Admittedly we have not seen much of "supersub" Giaccherini through injury, but I was delighted to see him return against Man. City at the weekend.
If I was manager I would not want to give goals away cheaply, and start matches by not conceding. The first half at the Etihad Stadium illustrated that tactic, and aside from St. Mary's, our defence has been quite tight, and it has been protected well by the born-again Lee Cattermole, but clearly 18 goals scored in 20 games is just not enough.
How do Sunderland's management improve the team in the transfer window? I very much doubt that Fabio Borini is the answer. To be honest, I hope he does not come back to the club. He did a job for us last season, but if he had a passion for Sunderland Football Club he would be with us by now. In 2013-14 I found him a bit selfish and more focused on his own performances than that of the team. I would rather see Darren Bent back than the Italian joining us at £12 M! We reputedly netted £24 M for the guy four years ago, when we were sixth in the table, and he is a free agent in the summer.
A fresh face or two upfront would fit in better. To quote BBC pundit Robbie Savage,
"January is the month where you pay over the odds for players who you need to make an instant impact".
He links us with: Ezequiel Munoz, 24, CB (Palermo), Curtis Davies, 29, CB (Hull), Mohamed Salah, 22, LW (Chelsea), Jay Chapman, 20 AM (Michigan State), Yaya Sanogo, 21, CF (Arsenal) Danny Ings, 22, CF, (Burnley), Fabio Borini, 23, CF (Liverpool), Giampaolo Pazzini 30, CF (AC Milan)
One thing is for certain, we need a top-quality striker who can help us to turn all those potential draws into victories in 2015, and it needs to happen fast.

The mistake wasn't selling Bent Drummer, more in the fact that we have failed completely to adequately replace him, and that the money was squandered on the likes of Altidore and Graham.
Neither of these two (at a whopping 12.5M) would have been adequate replacements for Darren Byfield, let alone Bent.
Furthermore, GP continues to give Altidore a game as often as not when he shouldn't be anywhere near the bench,. This makes me wonder whether there is an appearance clause in his contract, as it's difficult to imagine that the manager would give him house room otherwise. The argument that there's nobody else is a reasonable one but only as much as the sticker on Altidore says "centre forward." Otherwise there's no way of knowing.
If the likes of Mandron and Watmore (currently injured), do not constitute more of a goal threat than JA or Graham, then why are they on the books and being paid good money? They should be in the back of the same taxi that takes Altidore to Ponteland airport when we finally shift him.
The contractual issue is the only theory that holds water for me because there are 40 thousand people in the stadium every other week and the only bloke who thinks Altidore is worth a game is the manager, apparently. I doubt whether our of all those people, that Poyet is the most stupid, don't you?
It's probably the shop window theory for me , we might get a proportion of our huge investment on Jozy back from some poor unsuspecting team abroad . We'll get nowt back on Graham who is a better player in my view .
Bents signed for Derby on loan but we've certainly missed he's goals . Whatever went on behind the scenes and whoever was to blame , he's departure has hit us hard . None of he's replacements , while better overall footballers like Wickham and Fletcher are ,have he's goal scoring gift . Whether Bents still got that gift we'll soon find out , but in the recent history of SAFC , selling Bent was pivitiol and yes we got it wrong yet again .
That was part of Steve Bruce's legacy – bringing in Gyan, winning 3-0 at Chelsea without Darren Bent, and from then on he was unsettled, asking for a transfer in January 2011. OK we made money out of Bent, but we were left without strikers once Gyan lost interest. Bruce should have managed them both much better, and paid the price himself in the end.
Top goalscorers like Bent, Phillips, Rowell and Gabbiadini are blessed with amazing gifts but often have fragile egos, and need special handling by the staff. Bruce failed there and although Fletcher is good, we have not really replaced Darren Bent.
Bent (or his agent) were agitating in his first summer at Safc. He was being linked with a move to Turkey. He wanted more money from the start and only joined us as he was not starting regularly for Spurs thus reducing his chances of playing for England. His move to Villa was also allegedly with Engand in mind and had nothing to do with doubling his salary to £80K per week. After his traditional bright start his Villa trajectory was downhill. Waste of talent. Weak psychologically. Needed to man up. Imagine he regrets leaving Safc…..if not he should
Many major stars have fragile egos; I have learnt this from reading Roy Keane's latest book, but more of that later. Keane tried to sign Darren Bent for Sunderland.
Bent seemed like one of those fragile characters, his nose was put out of joint by Gyan's arrival. I was at SAFC;s 1-0 win at Villa when I am pretty sure some of the club's England players tried to "attract" Bent to the club. So he went, under Houllier he was good, but he was put out by the arrival of a new manager and training staff, who probably wanted more from him than just being a goal-hanger".
Bent was devastated by the "my grandmother could have scored that" comment from Harry Rednapp. AS you say, too weak psychologically to stay at the top of his game, and very hard to manage.
I gave you a Thumbs Up. Why? Because, I am sure that when Darren Bent played for us he played for something else. To prove Harry Redknapp wrong.
I do not think Darren Bent has had that same situation since. But, Sunderland got the best out of him, and sold him at a profit.
I would like to focus on what we have and what is happening. I saw rumours today that Hull will poach Fletch. I like him. He is not ideal, but he has skillls in front of goal. I believe in my heart that if we cash in on Steve Fletcher, that Connor Wickham will step up, and Dozy Altidore (who is not so Dozy), will start a fresh relationship, that could be better. Emphasis on "Could". Nothing at Sunderland is Guaranteed. I would love it to be so.

Watch that video. That describes my LOVE. I just love Sunderland AFC, and I know there are lots of fans out there, as I have travelled with them to games. We deserve more. Come on Gus. In you we trust. Step up a level, sell and sign. Make us a decent Premier League team. And then win the FA Cup, in your own time, but before you leave. As I see you, Gus Poyet as top dog, Manager of my team for a long time.

The City game was exactly the same as the "Great Escape" we only started playing when all seemed lost. We have at times been too cautious but when we decide to "have a go " we have different qualities. There are players who can attack and get behind defences. They had a go at Newcastle and created many good chances, we were not prepared to settle for a draw which has not been the case in many of the 11 we have drawn when we were happy to settle for a point. Gus must shake things up and stop blaming the personell. He has the players his tactics should not be over cautious, unshackle them and see us thrive
The midfield wasn't slow to get the ball forward and into the box when Alvarez and Giacccherini became part of it.
The midfield has become the focus of attention because it's become rather boring to keep on blaming the failing strikers.
How many goals has Altidore got this season? How many has Wickham got in his name so far? Chances have come their way and they have gone begging. Then of course there is Danny Graham. There is always Danny for us to count on.
Blame the turnstile operator or the groundsman, or the lads working for A Love Supreme. Most of the time the simplest explanation is the right one.
You know, . . .The real reason Pardew left the Mags is because he didn't want another sequential loss to us on his record. . .FACT! 😉
Obviously related to said article. . .somehow.
That's probably true , he couldn't have survived another defeat , so he jumped
DJob
Personally, I think we need more quality in midfield. We are very slow and predictable with very poor delivery to our strikers. I would rather see money spent on a couple of attacking midfielders. Creating more chances and unlocking defences would hopefully see our strikers, with the exeption of Jozy, score more goals.
With Giach and Ricki now starting to get time, plus Rodwell and Bridcutt showing they can do the holding, defensive role Johnson, Seb, Giach, Gomez and Alvarez should see us OK in midfield. I don't see Buckley as a real Premiership player but when van Aanholt is fit again and with Jones at right back I think our attacking midfield play should be good enough. We've actually got a decent squad when all are fit but apart from Fletch we are short of proven goalscorers. Wickham might be able to do a job but another proven, prolific goalscorer is what we need.
Trouble is everyone else in and around us is also looking and clubs like Chelsea and Man City are just as likely to snap up anyone available then loan them out to Holland or Turkey just to ensure they are not playing against them.
This time last season when all was gloom and despair I thought we had a good enough squad to stay up. I believe that's true this season too BUT we need to take the teams around us apart – Burnley, Leicester, Villa, Palace, QPR, West Brom at home are the crucial games. Win those and we have 38 points. Pick up another half dozen and we are mid table and with the Mags to come at home we should be OK!

Bougatsa or sweet semolina pie is one of my favorite specialties found at Greek bakeries. With its warm custard filling, flaky buttery crust, and sprinkles of confectioners sugar and cinnamon, it's comforting yet delicate and makes for a great dish to enjoy with family and friends over breakfast or brunch. Bougatsa is best served warm and leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week. Simply hold the confectioners sugar and cinnamon from any portions you plan to store in the refrigerator. When ready, reheat in a 350 degree oven for 5-8 minutes, sprinkle with confectioners sugar, cinnamon, and serve.
Once the milk is steaming, turn off the stove and slowly add the milk to the eggs one ladle at a time, whisking continuously. Slowly adding the milk, or "tempering" the eggs will prevent them from scrambling.
Once fully combined, pour the liquid into the sauce pan, add the semolina, lemon zest, and cook over medium heat stirring constantly for 8 to 10 minutes. As the semolina cooks, the liquid will thicken into a custard.
This looks delicious! My little cousin is having a birthday party this weekend in their backyard. He is in love with treats and we always go to our house to bake every time he will come home from school. We actually made it our daily routine to bake every day because it became our time to bond with each other. I will bake this for his birthday because I know he will surely love this and I cannot wait for him to share it with his friends!

500 British Priests Formally Support Humanae Vitae
By Simon Caldwell
MANCHESTER, England (CNS) – Nearly 500 British priests have signed a statement in support of the papal encyclical that forbade married couples from using contraception.
They said the prophetic warnings contained within "Humane Vitae," ("Of Human Life") published by Blessed Pope Paul VI July 25 1968, have proved to be accurate.
"We propose discovering anew the message of 'Humanae Vitae,' not only in fidelity to the Gospel, but as a key to the healing and true development of our society," they said in the statement sent to the London-based Catholic Herald magazine June 14, ahead of the 50th anniversary of the encyclical's publication.
The statement said "Humanae Vitae" represented a "re-affirmation of central aspects of the church's traditional teaching on human sexuality," including that the conjugal act was "always open to procreation and always unitive."
"Humanae Vitae predicted that if artificial contraception became widespread and commonly accepted by society, then we would lose our proper understanding of marriage, the family, the dignity of the child and of women, and even a proper appreciation of our bodies and the gift of male and female," the statement said.
"The Holy Father warned that governments would begin to utilize coercive methods to control what is most private and intimate," it said.
"At the time of the publication of 'Humanae Vitae,' many rejected its message and its warnings," it continued. "Many found the teaching that the use of contraception was in all cases 'absolutely excluded' and 'intrinsically wrong' difficult to accept and challenging to proclaim."
But 50 years later, "so much has unfolded in our society that has been to the detriment of human life and love," the statement said.
"Many have come to appreciate again the wisdom of the church's teaching," it said, adding that signers hoped to affirm "the noble vision of procreative love as the Catholic Church has always taught and understood it."
"We believe a proper 'human ecology,' a rediscovery of the way of nature and respect for human dignity is essential for the future of our people, Catholic and non-Catholic alike," it said.
The 462 signatories represent about one in 13 of all of the priests in England, Wales and Scotland.
"Humanae Vitae" was hugely controversial when issued by Blessed Paul VI, who will be canonized in October, not least because it overrode the initial proposals of a papal commission drafted to re-examine teaching on birth control. The document clearly asserted Church teaching against artificial contraception at the height of the sexual revolution.
Blessed Paul warned the faithful that breaking the unitive and procreative aspects of the conjugal act would "lead to the way being wide open to marital infidelity and a general lowering of moral standards."
He said women would be treated as sexual objects even by their own husbands and that governments would seek to solve social problems by imposing the use of contraception "on everyone."
The pope appealed to scientists to develop fertility regulation consistent with the principles of Catholic teaching, and natural family planning methods have since been devised.

"Humane Vitae" is indispensable for worldbuilding.


'Thank you' kind of looks like this: As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.
Sometimes, I've decided, being grateful is my default action and reaction to circumstances I cannot understand – or change. It is as though I've learned that I need to be grateful for adversity, or difficulty, because I know that this is where my purest growing happens.
However, it is a bit of a charade. And things are changing. I think somewhere between situation and reaction, I've forgotten to let myself be. Be tired. Be hurt. Be afraid. Be lonely. Be angry. Be frustrated. Be confused. And then, let the authentic gratitude come later. I am pretty sure I am not alone in this – a masking of what is really going on, providing the "right" answer instead of the "true" one.
Doesn't sound like much good around here, does it?
I think I have mentioned that this year has been a difficult one.. not just at work, and not just in my personal life. For some reason, 28 has boasted more adversity and more confusion that any years past. As it has all unfolded, I've felt pretty vulnerable, yet consciously aware of why I am walking through everything. Call it self-awareness, call it maturity, or whatever you want, but as everything has happened, I think I've been attune to it because this is the first year I've also really understood myself. My limitations, my downfalls, my talents, my strengths. I have struggled with worthiness this year; I wonder often if the range of who I am is as valuable as I think it is. I've taken more risks this year, but I've also struggled to find my voice in some of the most important aspects of my everyday.
Now, none of that [very confusing and vague] explanation is my point. I have been struggling to put words to everything, because I know I am not ignorant to how beautiful and much-more-whole I will feel once I am out of these valleys, looking back and seeing how much better I am for these bits and pieces of my life. However, I am tired of putting an inaccurate voice to how difficult it's truly been. My mom's favourite saying (and subsequently, my least favourite) is "bloom where you're planted" – some line from a Catholic hymn that used to drive me crazy in grade school. I've tried, and ultimately struggled with, being grateful, genuinely, in the moment as the days of this year have passed. Instead of allowing myself to be more honest with others, and myself, about everything, I've created a cautious identity of gratitude, even though it doesn't always work.
Don't misinterpret this – I am grateful. I know that amongst pain are immense blessings. I just also know that I am not better for ignoring some other truths in my heart, and in my experience. Chalk it up to working with kids all day, and encouraging them to find their voices and be authentic in their being, but I've been feeling convicted in knowing that there is a bit of a competition in my heart right now – being grateful and being unsure [of why things are panning out as they are]…is it possible for me to be both?
I remember going to counselling a few years back and we were talking about how tired I was about learning lessons. I wanted to be left alone for awhile…no more lessons for a bit. As I write that, I am taken back to that day, and I still feel silly for saying it. I guess my point is that I want to know that what what I am doing is good enough for awhile, even though I know it's never that easy. We don't plateau, nor would I want to, at a mediocre version of ourselves; a version we spend our entire lives trying to overcome as we get better and better at identifying ourselves with who we're supposed to be.
Anyway, this post is lame. And I am as restless with it as I am restless with many things right now. But I think what I have learned, especially in the last four to eight months, is that even though it might lack authenticity at times, attempting to live in gratitude is much better than the alternative. My gratitude looks different, as I try to be thankful even for experiences that have been hard on me, but somehow I have to trust that this will be more beneficial in the long run.
Doesn't mean I am not exhausted. Or hurt. Or confused. Or humbled. I am trying to be all of those things, too.
