With more and more people working harder than ever behind their smartphones and laptop screens, it can feel even more difficult to connect and engage with your co-workers – especially if they're in another time zone. So, how can you bridge the gap so that geographically-dispersed teams are on the same wavelength?
You've heard the cliché "There's no 'I' in team", and this certainly rings true for any global company. Successful businesses know that the key to a positive corporate culture lies in high-functioning employees that have achieved authentic cohesion with one another. Anyone who has worked on a team knows that in order to get the job done efficiently, all members must be able to trust each other. While trust is challenging to create and maintain in general where business is concerned, it can be especially difficult if your team members are separated by international waters.
For many of us, a large portion of our week is spent at work. So, it goes without saying that your job can make a huge impact on your quality of life. According to a recent study, there is a direct and positive correlation between workers' happiness and increased productivity. For management, it's about cultivating a general attitude that puts the employees first so they can feel appreciated, respected, and part of a community that's working towards a shared vision.
Regardless of where your offices are, you can successfully build a unified corporate culture within your global team. Over the years, we've provided many large-scale businesses with conferencing technology to help them stay connected, and we've also discovered a few ways to achieve a unified culture.
While organising company-wide barbecues to relay information or acknowledge hard work may work on a small scale, employees who work overseas won't be able to attend. Therefore, it becomes essential to find new ways to open up lines of internal communication. Consider starting a company blog or newsletter. Uploading content regularly could be the easiest and fastest way to inform employees about new changes as they happen. Best of all, it promotes transparency within the business, which is important when building trust.
Employees like to know they're equals, but when some team members get awarded with flexible hours while others are working 9-5, it can create an 'us versus them' mentality. While it may seem inconsequential to managers, it can strain communication between the two groups in question. This is why it's important to try to remain as fair and as accommodating as possible to the needs of your employees. We already know that flexibility in the workplace can reduce burnout due to work overload, allow people to work when they feel most productive, and even reduce absenteeism and lateness. So, keep all this in mind when team members request to finish early some days or want to take annual leave during certain times of the year (within reason). Set ground rules for flexibility across all headquarters, so that every employee, no matter which office they're based in, will feel as though everyone is on the same team.
Organise a start-of-the-week or end-of-the-week video conferencing session to get your whole group together. In order to implement this strategy, you need to plan (and stick to!) a day and time each week, while taking into account time differences. Similar to the company blog or newsletter, each manager or team leader can be allocated five minutes each to talk to the rest of the company about their team wins and achievements, share ideas, or mention upcoming events specific to their office. In addition to the convenience of this platform, the visual aid will help put faces to names and create personal relationships, which can help to generate trust.
Tired of getting 100 emails a day and then trawling back through them to find specific information and attachments? You're not alone. Help your employees stay in touch as well as document everything on one modern platform. There are some great options for any size of company. For chat groups, think Slack and Yammer; for project management, there's Trello, Asana and Jira. Making collaborations more streamlined for all team members can really have a positive impact on company culture by enforcing structure and unity. As every company is different, it's a good idea to review several collaboration tools to find the right fit for your business.
Encourage managers to send out an exciting email alert whenever there's an employee success story. What better way to generate a positive environment than to spread good news? Not only will employees feel important but they'll realise their efforts don't go unnoticed. This is especially valuable for offices with fewer staff or those in a remote location - being heard and acknowledged will set a standard across the board that all employee achievements are worth celebrating.
Your company's success doesn't just depend on a vision or product. It's not even enough to fill the roles in your business with the right people – you need to work on your corporate culture. Once you really understand the importance of having a unified set of values and principles within your global team, you can work towards achieving a positive culture that isn't limited by distance.
Working as part of a global team has its challenges but, by thinking smarter, you can make all members feel part of the one team regardless of location. Use these tips to create your corporate culture today and let us help your offices bond and stay connected across countries with our audio conferencing, web & video conferencing and operator-assisted conferencing services.

Q: GDT Segmented Memory I am trying to build my own kernel and am now setting up the GDT. I use an assembly file for the loader and calling the kernel that is written in C and am trying to get a GDT working. The kernel boots from GRUB and flushes the GDT setup by GRUB. When I have my GDT entries set up as segments (with the appropriate limits and offsets), I am assuming there is a triple fault of sorts as the kernel reboots, both in the QEMU as well as when I boot off a pendrive.
My questions are:
Can I implement a segmented model for the x86 architecture? Does it need to be done in protected mode? How do I get out of protected mode once the job is done?
I would post the code here but most of it is from tutorials anyway and if I mix up the assembly and the C code, it will get messy. The main thing is that if I do anything other than the base of both the Code Segment and Data Segment entries in the C kernel as '0', the kernel just reboots. Moreover, the same thing happens when I set the granularity to disable 4KB paging. Please ask for more details, if needed. Thanks :) :)
Edit: Here is the linker.ld file that I use for linking the asm bootloader and the C kernel file. I have posted the segments from both the asm and the C file that are relevant to the memory segmentation:
Linker:
ENTRY (loader)

SECTIONS
{
    . = 0x00100000;

    .text ALIGN (0x1000) :
    {
        *(.text)
    }

    .rodata ALIGN (0x1000) :
    {
        *(.rodata*)
    }

    .data ALIGN (0x1000) :
    {
        *(.data)
    }

    .bss :
    {
        sbss = .;
        *(COMMON)
        *(.bss)
        ebss = .;
    }
}

C function to set the GDT and the instantiating functions:
void gdt_set_gate(int num, unsigned long base, unsigned long limit, unsigned char access, unsigned char gran)
{
    /* Setup the descriptor base address */
    gdt[num].base_low = (base & 0xFFFF);
    gdt[num].base_middle = (base >> 16) & 0xFF;
    gdt[num].base_high = (base >> 24) & 0xFF;

    /* Setup the descriptor limits */
    gdt[num].limit_low = (limit & 0xFFFF);
    gdt[num].granularity = ((limit >> 16) & 0x0F);

    /* Finally, set up the granularity and access flags */
    gdt[num].granularity |= (gran & 0xF0);
    gdt[num].access = access;
}

void gdt_install()
{
    /* Setup the GDT pointer and limit */
    gp.limit = (sizeof(struct gdt_entry) * 35) - 1;
    gp.base = &gdt;

    /* Our NULL descriptor */
    gdt_set_gate(0, 0, 0, 0, 0);

   gdt_set_gate(1, 0x00000000, 0xFFFFFFFF, 0x9A, 0xCF); //Setting Code Segment

  gdt_set_gate(2, 0x00000000, 0xFFFFFFFF, 0x92, 0xCF); //Setting Data Segment

  //In the above two, if the second parameter is anything other
  //than 0 i.e. base is not 0, the kernel doesn't run.
 //Moreover, setting the last to 0x4F, which is byte accessing rather
 //than 4KB paging gives the same malfunction too.

 //gdt_set_gate(3, 0, 0xFFFFFFFF, 0xFA, 0xCF);
  //gdt_set_gate(4, 0, 0xFFFFFFFF, 0xF2, 0xCF);
    //TASK STATE SEGMENT -1
    //TASK STATE SEGMENT -2

    //gdt_set_gate(3, 0, 0xFFFFFFFF, 0x89, 0xCF);
   // gdt_set_gate(4, 0, 0xFFFFFFFF, 0x89, 0xCF);

    /* Flush out the old GDT and install the new changes! */
    gdt_flush();
}

Finally, the GDT flush function that is written in ASM:
gdt_flush:
    lgdt [gp]        ; Load the GDT with our '_gp' which is a special pointer
    ;ltr [0x18]
    mov ax, 0x10      ; 0x10 is the offset in the GDT to our data segment
    mov ds, ax
    mov es, ax
    mov fs, ax
    mov gs, ax
    mov ss, ax
    jmp 0x08:flush2   ; 0x08 is the offset to our code segment: Far jump!
flush2:
    ret

I know that the C function and the ASM one are correct because they work with the flat memory model. Is there any specific change in this that I need to make and I would like some advise about the linker file to set up segmentation or segmented paging.

A:
Can I implement a segmented model for the x86 architecture?

Of course, you can.

Does it need to be done in protected mode?

You only have two choices: real mode with its awkwardness and 64K and other limits and protected mode.

How do I get out of protected mode once the job is done?

In a few words, you switch off page translation (if it's on), jump to a 16-bit code segment, load segment registers with selectors pointing to descriptors compatible with real mode, clear CR0.PE. There are many more details (e.g. task switching, interrupt handling). You can find them in the official documentation and some tutorials online.

if I do anything other than the base of both the Code Segment and Data Segment entries in the C kernel as '0', the kernel just reboots.

You must understand that x86 code is not position independent and will not function correctly if it's relocated to address X, but is loaded to address Y. That means that not only the segment descriptors' bases should be adjusted in order to move your code/data somewhere, but also the linker should relocate the executable image to another location. A single simple mistake is enough for this not to work.

Moreover, the same thing happens when I set the granularity to disable 4KB paging.

That statement doesn't make any sense. You do not disable paging by manipulating with the descriptor's granularity bit.

Please ask for more details, if needed.

It's your job to provide enough info for us to help you out. The question, as it is currently stated, lacks detail to be answered fully. You've got some buggy code, but you aren't showing it to us, how can we help?

A: Use this in your asm code after loading the GDT.
mov eax, cr0
or eax, 1b
mov cr0, eax

Эквивалентность Рикардо-Барро (), называемая также рикардианской эквивалентностью или теоремой эквивалентности Рикардо-Барро — экономическая гипотеза, согласно которой экономические агенты придерживаются предусмотрительного поведения и при принятии решений о текущем потреблении учитывают будущее бюджетное ограничение правительства.

Происхождение гипотезы
Государственные расходы могут быть профинансированы за счет налогов или займов. Если фискальные власти прибегают к займам, возникающий долг должен быть погашен за счет будущих налогов. Выбор властей заключается между текущим налогообложением и будущим налогообложением. Британский экономист Давид Рикардо в «Эссе о системе финансирования» в 1820 году предположил, что в случае отложенного налогообложения налогоплательщики будут располагать большими текущими доходами для потребления. Однако они понимают, что в будущем их ожидают высокие налоги, в результате чего они будут больше сберегать, чтобы заплатить будущие налоги. В результате текущий совокупный спрос останется неизменным, благодаря чему, по мнению Риккардо, налогово-бюджетная политика обладает нейтральным эффектом на совокупный спрос.

Анализ межвременного выбора Роберта Барро

В 1974 году Роберт Барро, профессор экономики Гарвардского университета, опубликовал работу «Являются ли правительственные облигации чистым богатством?». В его модели домохозяйства представлены как поколения семей с бесконечным временным горизонтом. В основе анализа лежало несколько упрощений: для взаимоотношений между поколениями домохозяйств характерен альтруизм, рынки капитала совершенны (процентные ставки по депозитам и кредитам равны), государственные расходы неизменны, а домохозяйства ведут себя рационально. Если правительство финансирует дефицит бюджета, выпуская облигации, семьи будут экономить, чтобы оставить своим детям наследство, достаточное для оплаты высоких налогов в будущем. Таким образом, государственный долг, держателями которого выступают те же домохозяйства, не воспринимается ими как чистое благосостояние.

Выводы для макроэкономической политики
Идея Рикардо и анализ Барро получили название «эквивалентность Рикардо» или «эквивалентность Рикардо-Барро». Их гипотеза гласит, что в долгосрочном периоде времени дефицит госбюджета не влияет на совокупный спрос в экономике. Объясняется это тем, что увеличение дефицита, финансируемого за счёт займов, впоследствии приводит к увеличению налогового бремени для погашения госдолга. В кейнсианской макроэкономической теории, напротив, предполагается, что налогово-бюджетная политика имеет мультипликативный эффект и оказывает существенное влияние на совокупный спрос в экономике.

Современные эмпирические исследования приходят к смешанным выводам, однако в целом, они отвергают эквивалентность Рикардо в чистом виде. Как правило, гипотеза не подтверждается на низком, а также на очень высоком уровне госдолга. В большей степени она актуальна для внешнего долга в иностранной валюте, который не может быть обесценен за счёт инфляции или девальвации национальной валюты.

Whether you're the maker of the honey-do list or you're the doer, hiring painting contractors to do your interior painting projects this winter can help you make serious headway on your summer chores. If you want to free up some of your spring and summer weekends, knock out those to-dos that you can do even when there is snow on the ground—such as interior painting.
The winter blues are a very real phenomenon, and they tend to strike because of the lack of change that characterizes the winter months. If the majority of your days are spent indoors, and if staring at the same walls day in and day out gets you down, hire residential painting experts to produce the change you desire. Something as simple as a new wall color or a new accent wall can be all you need to stave off those winter blues!
Because most homeowners assume that all home remodeling contractors are on holiday during the winter months, no one books them, leaving them with plenty of openings. Chances are that if you call for an estimate today, a painting company can begin work on your home within the week. If you're someone who likes to get things done as the mood strikes, the winter is the best time to schedule work.
Just because snow has started to blanket most of the country at this time of year doesn't mean that residential painting is off the docket. To schedule your interior painting this season, reach out to ESP Painting, a family owned and operated company that specializes in exterior painting. Satisfaction is guaranteed.

Terry Fox pitched to grace new $5 bill 2020-01-15 2020-01-15
Man dies after stopping treatment to send message to Yukon government
Whitehorse resident Terry Coventry stopped life-saving hemodialysis in Vancouver because he wanted to send a message to the government in Yukon, where the treatment wasn't available for him, said his sister."Terry has always been my hero and my inspiration, and he will continue to be," Kelly Coventry said.
The Terry Fox Research Institute has launched a new national network to bring together leading cancer hospitals and research universities #FOXFORFIVER: Online campaign to get #TerryFox on $ 5 bill trends on Twitter. The central bank will be asking us who should be on the new $ 5 bill soon
"Putting Terry Fox on the five makes a lot of sense to me. He's an incredible Canadian hero." He caught a glimpse of Terry Fox in 1980, when " Terry Fox is part of our fabric and our culture here in Canada. We should be looking to continue to elevate him, to have his image in our everyday culture."

Could Terry Fox be the latest Canadian to grace our currency?
That's the hope of some on social media after the Bank of Canada announced last Thursday it would be launching public consultations for the design of a new $5 note.
The consultation process hasn't officially begun — that's scheduled for the end of the month — but it hasn't stopped people from putting forward names for consideration.
Terry Fox is considered a national hero.
Man hailed as hero for saving the lives of 3 men from overturned car in icy pond
A Nebraska man is being hailed as a hero after jumping into action to save the lives of three men whose car landed upside down in an icy pond and they couldn't get out.

In 1980, the 21-year-old athlete — who had already lost a leg to cancer — started his ambitious Marathon of Hope. He hoped to run across Canada to raise money and awareness for cancer research.
He died before he could complete his journey, but in the process he raised over $24 million. The foundation created in his name has raised hundreds of millions of dollars for cancer research in the four decades since Fox's death.
Dave Teixeira, the co-ordinator of the Terry Fox Hometown Run in Port Coquitlam and a longtime fan says Fox is the perfect embodiment a "banknote-able" Canadian.
"Terry just represents, I think, just the best in all of us as Canadians. He's courageous. He's selfless. He's doing things for other people, and he's just an image, I think, would be wonderful to have on a piece of currency here in Canada," he told Gloria Macarenko the host of CBC's On The Coast.

Other names put forward for the new $5 bill include musician Gord Downie, hockey player Wayne Gretzky, and astronaut Roberta Bondar.
"I'm sure there's many, many deserving Canadians," Teixeira said. "No matter who gets on that bill, it will certainly be a great Canadian. I want to make sure that Terry Fox was one of the names being considered."
Sir WIlfrid Laurier is currently on the $5 bill and has appeared on at least part of the past four versions of the bill dating back to 1969.
Viola Desmond, a Nova Scotian civil rights pioneer and businesswoman, was chosen to be on the $10 bill after the Bank of Canada asked for an open call for an iconic Canadian woman who could appear on a bank note.

HCL's new audio e-zine comes fully loaded with fun and facts, writes Sudeshna B Baruah.
Picture this: A radio newsletter with a fun quotient will act as a platform of communication between you and your boss. It was to see the fruition of such an idea that IT services company HCL Comnet's Noida office's cafeteria was packed to capacity. Well, mostly with bespectacled Comnetians in their 20s. Why not when RJ Nitin of Radio Mirchi's Ulta-Pulta Nitin fame was there to inaugurate HCL's intranet audio e-zine - Comnet Radio.
Doesn't a radio newsletter sound quite new in the Indian context? "Indeed, HCL is world's first organisation to have an interactive medium of this kind", says J Kalyanaraman, vice-president, human capital management, HCL Comnet. But why an audio e-zine as medium of interaction ? "It is not for the first time that we have come up with an idea like this. At HCL Comnet, we constantly strive to connect employer to the employees through one medium or another. But most of the mediums are static. We were on hunt for a more hep device.
It was with this aim in mind that our young eight-member communications team did an internal survey on a multiplicity of ideas. The idea of a radio e-zine was one of them. So, we thought, why not give this medium a shape. This is Comnet Radio was born", he adds.
What are the elements that feature on Comnet Radio? Atul Gupta, a member of the HCL Noida's communications team says, "Comnet Radio is quintessentially a step towards bridging the employer-employee hiatus. We needed a mint-fresh medium for the purpose.
. All these features are conceived with the fun quotient in view. However, we do not intend to rope in celebrities or radio jockeys for the purpose. Being an intranet concept, Comnet Radio will be about Comnetians by Comnetains", Atul avers.
Zulfian, another member of the communications team, explains us the functioning of Comnet Radio. She points at the peppy titles on the desktop demo of the e-zine like, Top 5 countdown to select a favourite track, Blow your own trumpet, that would give Comnetians a chance to air views on their team's performance. So are there funky stuffs like Masti Vote and Gossip Time. Now that sounds spicy. Not to forget the corporate news with an informative tone.
And does a Comnet Radio script work? "The scripts would be fed by Comnetians themselves on the radio intranet site and would also be culled from other mediums. The same would be then recorded internally and interspersed with the Top 5 Hit tracks (as polled on site). CDs of the same would be then played in canteens. No airwaves will however be used", adds Zulfian.
But isn't it too much of all play and no work? "Yes. We have used fun methods of engaging with the employees. But at the end of the day it is the employee morale that counts. I am sure Radio Comnet would sure prove exemplary", says Kalyanaraman.
We cannot but agree with him. What with the sound of laughter that rent the air as Comnetians displayed their knack for shairis and the entire audience burst into peals of laughter. Wish you all the luck, HCL on your maiden venture.

Here's a breakdown of the number of years' experience offered by Quality Assurance Engineers in Santa Ana, CA


South Africa's Ministry of Education issued a disastrous new home school policy in December, over the protests of home schoolers and the Pestalozzi Trust (South Africa's legal defense fund for home education). The policy essentially allows home schooling only when department of education heads deem it to be in the best interests of the child. Under this policy, home education has become little more than an extension of public school education, and parents have become agents of the education departments to be monitored, assessed, and inspected.
The new policy will apply in all provinces and should result in a general return to main stream schools. Until now, children could be taught at home in more or less uncontrolled fashion.
The Pestalozzi Trust is prepared for a legal battle, and HSLDA is committed to supporting our fellow home schoolers.
Please pray for God's protection over these dedicated families and the leaders who are preparing a defense: Pestalozzi Trust board members Leendert van Oostrum, Dr. Hans Visser, Christopher Klicka, and Henri Slabbert and Trust attorney Jan Badenhorst-Schnettler.
In 1993, letters from American home schoolers to this embassy helped gain an early release for Andre and Bokkie Mientjies, sentenced to two years in jail for home schooling. And in 1995, when South African families were working for the right to direct the education of their children, home schoolers in the United States provided support and encouragement through letter-writing campaigns targeting key legislative decisions in Parliament. Our solidarity with South African home schoolers has made a difference and we need to stand with them again.
The Pestalozzi Trust can be reached at defensor@lantic.net, website http://pestalozzi.org .

Best-selling Children's Author Mo Willems to Match Donations to First Book Up to $50,000
> Blog > Best-selling Children's Author Mo Willems to Match Donations to First Book Up to $50,000
Authored by Melanie Boyer on September 19, 2016

Thanks to their support, individual contributions to First Book will bring twice as many books to schools and programs to fuel learning.

"Mo and Cher Willems have dedicated immeasurable time, effort, and resources to help us provide critical access to brand new books for classrooms and programs across the country. This match will extend our reach to include so many more children in need this back-to-school season. We could not be more grateful to Mo and Cher and their continued commitment to help inspire a love of reading."
The match is available through September 30 and applies to all individual, unrestricted gifts supporting First Book's national efforts on behalf of children from low-income families. Donations can be made here through First Book's website.

CHRI's New Report Records Reduction in Prison Overcrowding, Urges Continuing Efforts with Supreme Court Monitoring
IRAP ONLINE
New Delhi: Underlining the record reduction in India's prison population by 10.42% between April-June 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Commonwealth Human Rights Initiative (CHRI) today urged state governments and prison authorities to continue efforts to reduce overcrowding through efforts such as releasing eligible prisoners and controlling the inflow.
CHRI's new report, 'Responding to the Pandemic: Prisons and Overcrowding,' records that after the setting up of High Powered Committees (HPCs) in states, there was an average fall in prison occupancy rates in 22 states/UTs from 107.8% on 31 December, 2019 to 103.1% on 1 April 2020 and to 93.3% by 30 June 2020. However, a closer look at the prison-wise occupancy showed that 27% of the prisons in 19 states/UTs continued to be overcrowded.
Speakers at the event emphasized the need to devise strategies to ensure that occupancy levels in prisons stayed within sanctioned capacity. The process of decongestion needed to be a continuous exercise, in order to keep the prison population in check.
The report, released by Justice Madan B Lokur, former Supreme Court judge, examines the functioning and the efforts made by HPCs in 24 states/UTs to decongest prisons. It also analyzes the functioning of the Undertrial Review Committees (UTRCs) of 17 states and union territories during this period, and assesses the compliance with the mandate to meet weekly.
"We talk about bail not jail, but the issue of prison overcrowding can be addressed at a much earlier stage…it is where the role of investigating officer, prosecution, the judge and the legal aid lawyer become very important." said Justice Lokur. He added "we need to ask, why UTRCs have not been set up in all the districts."
The former Supreme Court Justice also raised concerns on the lack of guidance documents for functioning of HPCs. Highlighting the potential of technology in addressing overcrowding by quickly identifying eligible prisoners, he asked: "India is a powerhouse in software development — why can't we take advantage of it?"
Indian prisons were considered high-risk areas for the spread of COVID-19 due to overcrowding and the absence of adequate resources as well as healthcare facilities. The pandemic has illustrated that a coordinated response by judicial officers, prison administrators, legal aid providers, district and police functionaries along with civil society has the potential to address systemic challenges that prisons face.
CHRI has called upon the Supreme Court to actively monitor decongestion efforts by directing the HPCs to conduct periodic reviews of prison-wise occupancy rates and oversee the functioning of the Undertrial Review Committees (UTRC). With states like Uttarakhand, Delhi and Chhattisgarh deciding to not extend interim bail/ parole, the fear of overcrowding causing the spread of the virus is far from over, it stressed.
"If this was possible in a pandemic, in a crisis, the question should be asked if this can't become the 'normal' approach in normal times?" asked Sanjoy Hazarika, International Director, CHRI. Noting that India had among the highest rates of prison occupancies in the world and certainly in the Commonwealth, he emphasised the critical role of media and outreach "to impact on policy and practise so that such studies become embedded in cultural approaches, behavioral conduct and institutional change."
"Unless prison departments prepare prison-specific plans that ensure compliance with physical distancing norms and adequate healthcare infrastructure to handle the inflow of returning prisoners, the HPCs need to be extremely cautious before revoking interim bails. If it is not done prudently, decongestion efforts would be rendered futile," said Madhurima Dhanuka, who leads CHRI's Prison Reforms Programme.
The report's key recommendations include:
Prioritise healthcare facilities in prisons
Ensure effective communication between lawyers and prisoners
Allocate additional budgets for prisons and increase staff strength in prisons
Legal services institutions must prioritise legal awareness initiatives and strengthen functioning of prison legal aid clinics
Ensure proactive disclosure and encourage sharing of good practices
Adopt alternatives to imprisonment to support efforts to decongest prisons
Develop recovery plans to mitigate impact of the pandemic on judicial processes

I). UNITED STATES. The Situation of President Donald Trump Gets More and More Complicated.
II) UNITED STATES – RUSSIA. The Meeting in Geneva between John Bolton and Nikolay Patrushev.
The domestic political situation of President Donald Trump got more complicated since two things happened: first, a close associate, Paul Manafort, has been found guilty of tax fraud, bank fraud and failing to disclose a foreign bank account; and second, more important, Donald Trump's former lawyer, Michael Cohen, directly accused the President of felony. President D. Trump is not yet the subject of any investigation, but the noose seems to tighten up around him. The very President's gestures reveal that he is aware that the investigation is progressing in a direction which threatens his office. These gestures range from the announcement that he might decline to be interviewed during the Robert Mueller led investigation (since he might be accused of perjury, should his declaration be opposite to declarations by other witnesses), to the denial of any possibility of impeachment, on the ground that a possible impeachment would damage the economy ("Impeach me and the market crashes"!!).
Quite serious though, D. Trump attacked the Attorney General Jeff Sessions, the head of the Justice Department, because J. Sessions recused himself and thus dodged the decision to stop the investigation led by R. Mueller regarding the Russian meddling in the 2016 American elections, as requested by the President. On August 23rd, the Attorney General, J. Sessions, replied that the Justice Department he leads would not yield to political pressure: "While I am attorney general, the actions of the Department of Justice will not be improperly influenced by political considerations". Donald Trump's argument for dismissing the investigation was that it would have nothing to find, being a "witch-hunt". What if it would be something to find, and the witches would really be guilty, especially the one sheltered in a white house? Anyway, the President cannot act himself, because he could be accused of obstructing the justice. This is why D. Trump seeks associates to do it for him, but people to "take a bullet for him", as M. Cohen said, are scarce. Now it is visible why D. Trump is looking for staff loyal to him, not to the US. Even worse, those who "took a bullet for America" turn against D. Trump now: a retired general, former Special Forces commander and a hero for the majority of the Americans publicly expressed his indignation against the President's actions.
Although the US President cannot be indicted, evidence to support such action started to pile up: D. Trump himself partly admitted (only shy of admitting a felony) that he is responsible of what his attorney, M. Cohen, stated he did.
The investigation will continue, in spite of D. Trump's efforts to contain its scope. However, the final decision will be a political decision taken by the majority of Americans, albeit in the Congress, or by the voting masses. Only a Democrat majority will begin the impeachment procedures. So, the American voters will decide about the color of the majority, and, consequently, about the future of President Trump's presidency. The big battle is now for the November midterms: should the Democrats prevail, the impeachment procedures are quite likely to begin. The situation is worsening in D. Trump's own camp as well, as Jeff Sessions answered that he only observes and serves the US laws, and nobody else; this means not only that the investigation will continue, but it might be the signal for a wide split from D. Trump in his own party and among his supporters. Such divide would be necessary in order to make sure the GOP politically survives Donald Trump. Anyway, the President should be very careful, because he risks being indicted for obstructing the justice, only counting the number of times he accused the investigation commission for witch-hunting.
As a personality, Donald Trump demonstrated, so far, that everything that has been assumed bad about him proves to be rather true, less that he owes something to Russia (However, the tracks seem to lead in that direction). Those who supported Trump already cashed in, and shedding a character who endangers not only the American society, as a whole, but even the domestic and global political stability seems to be a fair option: "the big money" obtained the financial deregulations they needed, and the middle class obtained the tax slack. So, it is no wonder that the support for President Trump began to dwindle, just a bit so far but, when the investigation gets closer and he reacts, the snowball effect will be visible.
In the next period, the US will certainly look more inward, and will be less concerned with foreign policy, since the White House will focus more on judicial problems, if not on penal issues of "the man in the White House". In the Republican Party, discussions will likely grow on whether it is worth to stand behind Donald Trump or not. In its turn, the Democrat Party will get reinvigorated, even if it has its own problems (it does not provide an alternative yet, and the economy is thriving – the negative effects will show later). The American voters will decide in November if they ditch D. Trump or not. This is the real stake of the midterm elections, and the whole America will focus on this event. So, in foreign matters, no important steps are to be expected from Washington, if not even punctual concessions, with irreparable effects in time. America is about to live an unstable period, as will the whole world. The instability might be already chronic, one might say, but it is still instability. Meanwhile, the enemies of America, and of the free world's, who understand this situation, will act as they know best.
On August 23rd, Geneva hosted the meeting between John Bolton, the counselor for national security to the US President, and Nikolay Patrushev, the secretary of Russia's Security Council. This meeting, which took about five hours, covered the whole range of disputed issues. Moscow had sent the message that it hoped the US really knows what it wants in the bilateral relations. But both countries were waiting for this meeting, as well as the nations which were the subject of the discussions – Israel, Ukraine. The meeting ended with a moderate optimism, but without a joint declaration. Such document was refused by the Russians on the grounds that it would have included references to Moscow's meddling in the American elections, impossible to be admitted by the Kremlin. John Bolton stated that the differences between the two views regarding Russia's meddling in American elections precluded a joint declaration to be reached, although he did not confront the Russian delegation about the latest accusations in the matter (the Microsoft report on Russian hackers). John Bolton maintained he had warned Moscow not to interfere in the November midterms: "I made it clear we wouldn't tolerate (election) meddling in 2018 and that we were prepared to take necessary steps to prevent it from happening".
The visible and important result is that the two parties agreed to restore several communication channels. In this respect, J. Bolton said he noticed progress by identifying domains where communication would be restored between relevant institutions. The Russian media quoted N. Patrushev saying that the respective foreign and defense ministries were agreed to restore communication channels.
Other issues discussed in Geneva were the increase in tightening the US sanctions against Iran, and a gradual withdrawal of Iranian forces from Syria. No further details were provided. On Iran's role in Syria, John Bolton specified that the US goal is to have all Iranian forces in Syria withdrawn, and that various ways and steps to reach this goal were discussed at this meeting. Previously, J. Bolton had a meeting, in Jerusalem, with the Israeli Prim-Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu. After that meeting in Jerusalem, J. Bolton has declared that the US decision to withdraw from the 2015 nuclear deal with Iran was meant to "put maximum pressure on the regime" by making sanctions "more extensive and more effective". He also stressed that Washington does not intend a regime change in Iran, but a behavior change.
J. Bolton also stated that, during the discussions in Geneva, the Russian representative did not attempt to achieve a relaxation of the US sanctions.
Regarding the strategic nuclear arms control, John Bolton, who is an adversary of the present New START agreement, declared that no date has been agreed by the two parties for a decision on New START, which expires in 2021. No decision has been agreed on INF either: "We are very very early in the process of considering what we are going to do with New START or the INF treaty". A Russian diplomat declared that the dialogue continues, and this is a positive fact, better than continuous sanctions, threats and accusations, as the Americans are interested, the same as the Russians, no more, no less, to extend the New START agreement.
However, more important is the topic over which no comments were made: Ukraine. But we will know after John Bolton visits Kyiv.
Let's recap: Donald Trump sent his expert in the issues to be discussed, and the Kremlin sent Nikolay Patrushev - the man who knows everything, from the Skripal case, to the coup in Montenegro (he retrieved the Russian agents from Serbia), and to everything that has been done against the US by meddling in the elections. He is also responsible for everything regarding the Russian intelligence services, the spearhead of all Moscow's aggressive actions. Too little has been revealed on practical agreed details, just restoring communication and continue the consultations – a good thing, no matter what Russia has done. About the core disputed issues though, one can only infer what they discussed, and where they reached:
Different from Helsinki, the US has sent a clear message that Russia must stop meddling in American elections, by cyber-attacks, for example. It will be interesting to see the cooperation in this area;
Regarding the arms control, an expert such as J. Bolton has not fallen for the Russian game, from the attempt to link the anti-ballistic defense with the offensive nuclear weapons, to discussing INF, which Russia breached, but accuses the US that it might breach, by the simple inference that the Aegis Ashore launchers, being universal, can also launch cruise missiles. Actually, President Vladimir Putin mentioned these threats: Russia's need to react to the anti-ballistic installations in Romania and, in the future, in Poland, as well as NATO infrastructure advance towards Russian borders. These received a prompt response from NATO, and, as anyone can notice, NATO infrastructure distance to Russian borders diminishes just because Russia moves its borders closer to NATO infrastructure (see the Crimean Peninsula). Considering also the Iranian danger, there are very little chances that the anti-ballistic installations at Deveselu / Romania be discussed, and the INF will stand until a solution is found. Even the Russian threat based on its new weapons was put on a low key, since the US administration leaked the information that the Russian widely heralded nuclear propulsion missile has been lost during the tests, and Russia is working hard to retrieve it. The risk of nuclear contamination looms large, which Moscow denied. However, a Russian vessel is desperately searching the bottom of Barents Sea;
Regarding Ukraine, Russia probably resumed the Helsinki narrative, but the Americans likely pointed at the necessity to see what Ukraine - the subject of the actions have to say. So, we have to wait for the results of the meeting in Kyiv;
On Syria and Iran, actually on Israel's security, Russia promised what it cannot deliver. Nevertheless, steps can be made, especially since Iran, burdened by serious problems, would like to calm the situation, and to avoid an open conflict with the United States;
We need to hope that the level of trust has been somewhat beefed up. This is necessary, because Russia has rattled the sabers this past week. Maybe not the big exercise about to begin in the East is relevant – that is nothing else than cooperation with China, but other military developments: the associated alerting of airborne divisions, the alerting of 2,500 special forces of Strategic Command South, and the air drills in Crimea (involving Su 30 and Su 24). Additionally, Russian aircraft flew again towards the Romanian area of NATO air control, where they were intercepted by NATO (British) air policing aircraft. As the Russian aircraft flew without transponders, one can wonder why President Putin accuses NATO for refusing to talk measures to increase air security, when Russia itself is the actor performing such aggressive actions. However, NATO air forces responded wisely by not playing Moscow's game – better to give up visual identification, than follow the targets far from the Romanian littoral and into the Crimea based A2AD systems range.
The post-Helsinki worries somewhat faded away, and Russia is not ready to negotiate toughly, even if it has "built up formidable economic defenses", and can face the sanctions, for the moment. But Moscow is bracing up for the second wave of sanctions, caused by the Skripal case. Should the US have made concessions, these second wave of sanctions would be milder. What will Russia yield in response, because nothing better can be seen in Ukraine so far: the fighting worsened, as Ukraine announced several soldiers killed in action.

Group C: Qatar 1-8 Kuwait
Pattaya: Eliminated Kuwait bode farewell to the AFC Beach Soccer Championship Thailand 2019 in grand style, overpowering Qatar to claim a 8-1 win in their final Group C match on Tuesday.
Kuwait's parting victory drags them off the bottom of the group and into a final position of third, while Qatar finished winless for the second edition of the tournament in a row.
Abdulrahman Al Yaqoub was one of the stars of the show for Kuwait, scoring a hat-trick to power his side to a commanding final flourish in Pattaya.
The match represented the last chance at points for both sides, and it was Kuwait who took the initiative in the opening period, enjoying the lion's share of possession and showing a greater attacking intent than their opponents.
That intent was rewarded in the seventh minute, when Kuwaiti captain Al Yaqoub found space in front of goal to give Ahmed Abdelrazek's side a deserved lead.
Al Yaqoub wasn't too far with an acrobatic volley two minutes later, and a similar left from Mahdi Al Qallaf forced Abdulrahman Qahtan into a low save in the dying seconds, but no further goals came in the opening 12-minute period.
Kuwait's position was further strengthened when Abdullatif Al Hamad scored with a bouncing effort in the 15th minute, and they were three up when Mohamed Hajeyah produced arguably the brightest moment of their campaign with a simply wonderful overhead kick from distance.
Rashid Al Boinin drew a rare save from Kuwait goalkeeper Mohammad Al Saher, who turned provider seconds later when his long throw was nodded in by Ali Abudllah for Kuwait's fourth, and four became five when Al Yaqoub drilled a lovely drive into the bottom corner.
Qatar found the back of the net for the first time when Fawaz Daoud succeeded with a low effort in the 26th minute, but their joy was short-lived as Al Hamad volleyed home on the turn to bring up Kuwait's half-dozen at the half-hour mark.
A late free-kick gave Al Yaqoub the chance for his hat-trick, and fairly rocketed it into the bottom the net, before Al Hamad scored in the 35th minute to put the exclamation mark on a memorable night for Kuwait.
Ahmed Abdelrazek, Kuwait head coach
"It was a good game and we performed to our tactics and plan, Maybe after we were knocked out, we had no stress and nothing on our shoulders. We played well and we hope in the next tournament we will be stronger. Our Kuwait team needs more young players, with good physical attributes. I have spoken with the manager of the Beach Soccer Committee in Kuwait, and we have put in a plan for the next two years, starting with a league, and we hope more young players come to beach soccer in the coming years."
Abdullah Jassim, Qatar head coach
"Maybe we lost all our power in the game against Japan. We lost the ball and lost concentration. It felt like a friendly game because the result didn't matter and maybe that hurt our team today. I hope to improve by holding more training, and more games. I hope to continue in this team in the future."

It's already in your refrigerator.
We're all about pie here at MyRecipes. In fact, it's pretty much what we live for. And, with springtime right around the corner, we're positively euphoric over the pretty peach and berry pies we're going to make.
All pies are gorgeous in our eyes. But, for a truly spectacular-looking pie, you're gonna need to add a step or two to your recipe.
I'm going to let you in on a little secret: The golden brown color you see on most pie crusts has nothing to do with the crust itself—what really matters is what you brush on top.
You don't need any special store-bought glazes to make your crust pop. No, all you really need is a single egg for a simple egg wash. What you do with the egg depends on what kind of finish you're after.
If you want an intense, golden yellow color with a shiny finish, use one whole egg, beaten.
If you're looking for a deeper brown color that's still shiny, reach for just the yolk, beaten.
If you you don't want to change the color of the crust all that much—but you still want a nice, glossy finish—use just the egg white.
If you're more about that matte life and don't want a shiny finish at all, skip the egg altogether. Instead, opt for a few tablespoons of milk or cream.
To apply the egg wash, just use a regular old pastry brush. Brush on a thin (but complete) layer, and bake as usual. If your wash is feeling a little too thick, mix in a teaspoon of water to thin it out a bit.

Tsarnaev Brothers Were Planning on Heading to NY After Boston Marathon Attack
Local News, Crime, National & World News
By Robert Ottone Published: April 22 2013
The brothers responsible for the Boston Marathon bombings are rumored to have set their sights on New York to continue their terror spree.
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev and his brother, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, chief suspects in the Boston marathon bombings were apparently headed to New York to continue their reign of terror. Before Tamerlan was killed in a ferocious shootout with the police and Dzhokhar was injured, the two remained armed to the teeth, with police recovering handguns, a rifle and at least six homemade explosive devices.
"We have reason to believe, based upon the evidence that was found at that scene — the explosions, the explosive ordnance that was unexploded and the firepower that they had — that they were going to attack other individuals," said Boston Police Commissioner Ed Davis.
The horrifying attack on the crowd at the Boston Marathon has so-far resulted in the deaths of three individuals. After a lengthy manhunt, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was discovered hiding in a boat in a suburban area of Boston. He was bleeding heavily and was rushed to the hospital, where he has since regained consciousness.
"They were speaking in a foreign language that he could not understand. He spoke one word in English that was possibly Manhattan," a source told the Daily News. During the younger Tsarnaev's escape, he reportedly ran over and killed his older brother, Tamerlan.
The two brothers reportedly engaged in a gunfight with Watertown police. Around three-hundred shots were fired. "Quickly we had six Watertown police officers and two bad guys in a gunfight," said Watertown Police Chief Ed Deveau.

It's becoming more and more common for websites to provide the capability of having two factor authentication as part of you login process. Google, GitHub, Hotmail and Dropbox just to name a few of the organisations that have embraced two factor authentication and provided it as an optional security measure. In this article I will demonstrate how to implement two factor authentication in your ASP.NET MVC application using Google Authentication.
Two factor authentication is where you use something that you know, a username and password, along with something that you have like an RSA key or a mobile. The second factor is commonly used for generating a one time password which will change over time, for example RSA keys change their code every minute and Google Authenticator changes the code every 30 seconds. What this does is help to mitigate the chance that an attacker is intercepting your web traffic, which if you're accessing a website that does not use HTTPS will mean that your username and password are plain text, while they may know your username and password without the thing you have they are unable to generate the one time password to go along with your login request to authenticate themselves.
While I will be using ASP.NET MVC to demonstrate this you can do this with any framework you want, the principles will be the same.
First things first, let's fire up Visual Studio and create a new 'ASP.NET MVC 4 Web Application', selecting the 'Internet Application' project template when prompted, I called mine MvcTFA, pretty much does what it says on the tin there.
I'm lazy! No seriously, that's a great reason not to write an authentication system, why do something when someone has already written it for you?
It's secure. While I have a reasonable understanding of web security I am not an expert (I know enough to know that I don't know enough), ASP.NET's Membership library has had thousands of people reviewing the code and testing it's implementations trying to find vulnerabilities, these then can be fixed, if I implement my own then it won't get the same level of peer review unless it get's really popular, which let's be honest is unlikely.
As above the first one is using Windows Authentication to log into your SQL Server instane and the second is user the username and password that you have specified. Your web application is now configured to use the database that you have created for the ASP.NET Membership.
In order for two factor authentication to work, we need to store a secret key for each user on the server, the way we will do this is by storing the secret key and also whether or not the user wants to use two factor authentication or not against the users profile. To specify custom fields in the users profile the first thing we need to do is to create a class defining those fields, this will also contain code to retrieve instances of the profile for the current user or a user that we specify, I placed my class in the root directory of the application as I didn't feel anywhere else was appropriate for it.
In the class above we have defined two constants for the profile setting keys. A method which retrieves the current users profile and one where we pass in the username of the user that we want to get the profile for. The two properties are what we are really interested in, these store the secret key as a string and whether or not the user wants to use two factor authentication as a bool. When the user sets the values the configuration entry is changed and we also save the users profile at this point, some people may want to do this themselves in which case remove these lines. We now have the user profile class, which we will be using later on to store the users settings but first we need to configure our application to use this profile over the standard one. This is done through the web.config file, by changing the profile section to look like the following.
What this does is to specify that the profile we are using inherits MvcTFA.MvcTFAProfile (or what ever you have named your user profile, you will need to use the fully qualified name including namespace) and that the connection string that should be used for this profile is the DefaultConnection, which we configured in the previous section to point to our ASP.NET Membership database.
We will be focusing our implementation of two factor authentication against Google Authenticator, which creates a new two factor authentication one time password every 30 seconds, based on the number of 30 second intervals since unix time (1970/01/01 00:00:00 UTC). As this functionality is can be re-used across multiple applications and is not specific to just this app I decided to create a class library for storing this in called Domain (original I know). I created a class called GoogleAuthenticator and used code based upon the Stackoverflow answer available here. While the class provided by this answer included a method for displaying the secret key as a QR Code by using an online service provided by Google I decided against using it later in development as most of the time I was working on this I was on the train without Internet access which would have made viewing the QR code rather difficult.
/// Number of intervals that have elapsed.
/// Generates a QR code bitmap for provisioning.
/// Generates a pin for the given key.
/// Generates a pin by hashing a key and counter.
The code above provides the several methods/properties, the GenerateSecretKey generates a pseudo random secret key, CurrentInterval provides the current interval number (the number of 30 second intervals since unix time, as specified above) and GenerateProvisioningImage as mentioned above provides the secret key as a QR code using an online service provided by Google. The final two methods, GeneratePin (which has two signatures), is what we use to generate the one time password using. The version of GeneratePin that accepts two parameters allows for us to use a challenge and response style one time password, where the website supplies the user with a number, which they enter into Google Authenticator and the result is authenticated (I won't be covering this style of two factor authentication in this article). We will be using the first version of GeneratePin which will get the current interval and use that as the number to pass into the second version.
When we later generate the QR Code for the user to scan the secret key needs to be Base32 encoded, unfortunately the .NET Framework does not come with a built in Base32 encoder (it has Base64 but that doesn't work, trust me), so we have to add our own. Again this is not specific to this website so I have placed it in the Domain class library.
//Is the current digit going to span a byte boundary?
In the Base32Encoder class I have included both to base32 and from base32 as I decided to store the secret key encoded as a string in the database, making it easier for when the user wants to get the QR code, but this does mean that we need to be able to retrieve the byte array secret key to use when figuring out if the two factor authentication one time password the user has provided was correct.
A design decision that I made was that when the user registers their two factor authentication secret key will be generated and stored with their profile, I could have decided to generate this at some later point like when they went to opt in to using two factor authentication against their account but during the registration process felt appropriate to me. So in order to do that we need to modify the HttpPost Register action within the AccountController.
What I have done in the action is retrieved a copy of the newly registered users profile and then using the GoogleAuthenticator class generated a secret key, which is the stored within the users profile for later use.
At the moment we are storing the user's two factor authentication secret key Base32 encoded within their profile, while users are able to take this Base32 encoded string and enter it manually into Google Authenticator, those fleshy things called humans are rather error prone and are likely to make a mistake, so to help them Google Authenticator allows for users to scan a QR Code which will allow for the secret key to be loaded automatically. This makes things easier for the user and also it is less likely that the user will make a mistake, which is a good thing. As mentioned above, while it is possible to use an external web service for generating the QR code I opted to use a library which would generate the QR code for me, this was primarily because I did my development on a train with no Internet connection, but it is also worth while avoiding becoming reliant on external web services where easily possible. The library I used for this is QRCode.NET, feel free to use different libraries if you want, this is just the one that I happened to choose.
To make generating the QR code easier within the view I decided to create a helper class to deal with all the bits to do with generating the QR code.
Now that we have the QR Code helper, within the AccountController I decided to add a UserProfile action that would allow for the user to view their secret key in QR Code form and to allow for them to opt into using two factor authentication on the profile. As you will notice I included the ValidateAntiForgeryToken attribute on the actions to disallow people making automated calls to the action.
and the view for the actions.
We now have enough to allow the users to register for our website, to opt into using two factor authentication and for them to scan their two factor authentication secret key into their Google Authenticator app, but we haven't yet made the appropriate changes to the login to prompt the user for their two factor authentication one time password if they have opted in.
During my research for this article one of the things that I found is that there are a fair few articles out there covering implementing two factor authentication which missed a major issue. What they were doing was asking the user to log in then once they had logged in they were redirected to a page to ask for their one time password, the problem was that the way they had implemented the code it would log them into the website before being redirected, so all the user had to do was navigate to another page and they would have bypassed the whole two factor authentication system, not exactly optimal.
In order to do this correctly we need to do in order to implement this correctly is to validate the users username and password is correct then pass them to the two factor authentication step without logging them in. Thankfully the ASP.NET Membership library provides us with a way of achieving this through Membership.ValidateUser, which provided with a username and password will validate the credentials returning a boolean. Once we have identifier the user has provided the correct username/password combination we need to check whether or not the user has opted in to using two factor authentication on their account, if they haven't then we log them into the website and then redirect them to the appropriate location. If the user has opted into two factor authentication then we put the profile into the temporary data store along with whether or not the user has asked to be remembered, which we will use later on.
Now that we have changed the login action so that it will check to see if the user has opted into two factor authentication or not we need to provide the user the capability to provide the one time password generated by their Google Authenticator app.
// the modification is an acceptable usability/security compromise.
When the user has provided the two factor authentication one time password generated by their device we need to check it against what we think it should be, if the numbers don't match then we tell the user to try again, if they match then we log the user into the application retrieving the 'remember me' choice they made earlier and then redirecting them appropriately. Finally let's provide a view for the action allowing them to provide their one time password.
You have now created your own ASP.NET MVC application which implements two factor authentication for it's users, so go ahead start the project running, register for an account, opt in, load the secret key into Google Authenticator using the QR code, which is then prompted for the next time you log into your account.
I'm starting to put all of my code onto GitHub so that it is easily available for everyone to download and also to allow for people to make suggestions to things that I can improve on the code. So if you would like to download the full Visual Studio 2012 solution it is available at https://github.com/Satal/TwoFactorAuth. Please feel free to fork it or pull it and make improvements to the code if you want.
I downloaded your code but always ran the site generates a different code on the mobile app know WHAT can be Time zone may have something to do?


Coping with the loss of anything significant in your life is, without a doubt, very difficult for all of us. Many of my clients and readers find it difficult to release memorabilia they connect to a significant person, event or part of their life that was important to them. It can be difficult to find balance in memorializing something or someone with the right amount of respect while not allowing it to overcome your life.
Today, I sat among her things and wrote up all my Christmas cards. It was the first time since she died in 1999 that I have been able to get myself to sit down and do all my cards. You see, we used to enjoy this task of writing out our cards together.
Every year I have felt badly about not getting the Christmas cards out. I just wanted to thank you for the role you played in conquering my aversion to doing this happy task without Mom. I dropped off the cards this morning at the post office and it felt just great!
What about you? Is there a task you used to enjoy, but find yourself holding back due to loosing a loved one? Do you find yourself holding on to "things" because of the memories?
Although building a shrine typically is meant to honor the deceased, it also can serve as a way to acknowledge loss.
For example, Judith Kolberg explains in "Conquering Chronic Disorganization" how she worked with a retired teacher who had difficulty letting go of memorabilia that represented his teaching years. Unfortunately after years and years of saving his "stuff," this created an insurmountable amount of clutter and prevented him from making room for anything else in his life.
So, just like my client, Nancy, they too built a shrine, only his was to memorialize his teaching career.
A shrine may take form by selecting a small table or any place you feel fit to place artifacts that represent and pay tribute to your cause. Remember, selecting items that best represent the memories that you hold near and dear to your heart enables you to release the things that stand in your way of moving on.
