At 3 a.m. I heard footsteps on the stairs. Instantly I knew...Natalie had had another nightmare. Since her dreams tend to be very complicated and full of detail, I didn't ask questions, just lifted the blankets and allowed her to climb in bed with us. However, I knew the next three hours would involve a wrestling match of sorts with her as a sleeping companion. Oh well, such is the life of being a Mom and one day I'll miss this, right?
In the morning, she wanted to share with me everything about her "nightmare".
"So, Mom we were in the kitchen and the Brauns were with us. I was sitting in my pink chair. You made me a bagel with chocolate chips (A Natalie special) and Noah took one of my bagels and ...and HE ATE IT! THEN, Carter (4 year old friend) looked at the other piece and I said, "Don't you dare!" and then he grabbed it AND HE TOOK OFF RUNNING DOWN THE HALL AND THEN...AND THEN...HE DROPPED IT AND THERE WAS MELTED BUTTER AND CHOCOLATE CHIPS ON THE FLOOR..."
As she recounted her dark (dark chocolate, that is) tale to me, her voice grew louder and went up about two octaves while I sat speechless. I don't remember the rest of her dream because at this point the only thought that penetrated my brain was...it's got to be 5 o'clock somewhere.


Happiness, true happiness that is, is something that is hard to come by for many people in this world; however, it is something that I have been blessed to have found in this life. Who gives me the happiness that the world so covets? My family—my husband and my daughter. My husband has this innate technique of making me laugh in the most appropriate circumstances—his silliness and my silliness have melded together in a way that makes our own unique language that no one else can understand. How do you define happiness? I define happiness as knowing that every day you will wake up next to your best friend and feel the little fingers of a human that you have given life to cutely poking your shoulder to remind you that, although it is Saturday, you still have to wake up early!
When the world is weighing on your shoulders and you feel uncomfortable in your own skin, where do you find comfort? For me, there is only one place...at home with my family. As soon as I lay one foot in the door and the air within my home hits my skin, I feel an instant relief of worries and doubts. An immediate sense of comfort overwhelms me. I cannot say that this is due to where I live but who I l ive with. Having a husband that greets me with a kiss and a smile when I walk in the door and a daughter whose whole countenance brightens by ten times when coming home brings me the sense that I am truly home...and comfortable like nowhere else.
We fight our entirely lives for a sense of independence, but what we never realize is that independence comes along with dependence. With having your own family, you will know that your family depends on you for certain things...with your spouse maybe it means sharing the chores, watching the kids so the other spouse can have a minute to breathe, splitting the bills, etc. With your kids it usually means...well, they depend on you for everything! The importance of having your kids being dependent on you is that you have the ability to show them how to grow up strong and earn independence. See what I'm saying? Independence comes from a strong dependence upon family.
So everyone depends on you but you think that you don't depend on them? You're wrong, Love! Even the most nurturing, super-mom or super-dad depends on their spouses and kids to depend on them! It's a never-ending circle of dependence...but it's a good thing. If you can't depend on your immediate family, who can you depend on?
You know that feeling when you are wrapped up in a warm blanket on a cold winter's day, sitting on the couch and you feel as if nothing could harm you? That is not only a feeling of comfort, but a feeling of safety. Your family and the essence of your household provides a safety net like none other...you will never need a security system again! Okay, maybe that's an exaggeration but you know what I mean!
Stability sort of goes hand-in-hand with dependence. Though the world feels ever-changing and quick paced, and you can't seem to get your head around the horrible events that seem to be plaguing our television screens...at least we have the confidence that our family is there. We know that our family and our house are stable in a world that is constantly evolving and so increasingly shaken.
As much time as we spend running around, taking care of our houses, driving our kids to dance or soccer practice, working full-time, making sure the laundry is done, and all of the other crazy never-ending tasks...you would think that there would be just as enough time to spend just enjoying your family's company. Unfortunately, life is busy and we do not always have the time to even realize that each minute with our families is precious. But we do have those special moments, during the holidays, or just during a sweet moment in the morning or evening-time when we realize just how special our family is to us. If we could take these moments and bottle them up and keep them forever, we would. But for now, we need to spend whatever left-over time we may have (whether it's on the weekends or even in the late evenings) in quality time with our family. Remember that many people in the world don't even have a family...and some have had their families taken away. So savor the good moments and try your best to make room/time for more!
Ahhh...affection. Some of us crave it...while some of us loathe it. Whatever your take or opinion on PDA and snuggles, affection is a wonderful part of having family. Whether you're a cuddly person or not, you must admit that a hug around the neck or kiss on the cheek from your baby girl or boy is priceless! Guess what? That is affection, too! When you tell your child that you love him or her, the affection is evident. When your wife makes your coffee in the morning and then gives you a kiss before you leave for work, that is affection. Affection is an infinite part of love...and love means family.
You come home from work and your boss has ripped you a new one, your co-workers are just in it for themselves, the traffic was horrendous and a police officer pulled you over and ticketed you for something minor...you feel as though you can't rely on anyone in the world. One thing you didn't realize and many people tend to forget is that you may not be able to rely on the world but you can rely on your family. Even with as many issues or stresses that may come with having a family, your family will always be there...that is something that you can ALWAYS rely on.
My favorite and most important aspect of learning who I am as a person - growing through the love and support and experiences with my own family. I believe that I was still a child myself until I had my own child. Having a family of my own has taught me responsbility and about the more important things in life...things I didn't have and never knew about before I had my own family. I believe that life is about learning and growing...and our families are a constant part of this knowledge seeking and growth.
What have you learned from your family? How has having your own family helped you grow? Do you now appreciate life more than ever before?
Why is it important to have a strong relationship with your family?
You have a blood bond to your family. The only thing stronger than a blood bond is a soul bond, and most people you have a blood bond with will already be in your soul group.
Nice one..... very deeply. I am too blessed with good family.... I believe in celebration of happy life each and every moment.
That is what family all about. They bring out all the worst and best in you.
I absolutely adored this hub! I personally have always been a family over friendships type of person. At the end of the day, it is family that knows all of your flaws and loves you for all that you are.
What a wonderful hub. And i loved the pictures and the video. You are truly blessed. What you have is a precious thing to be nurtured and cherished. Wishing you a long and happy life.
There are so many sad and dysfunctional families in this world, it is surely a pleasure to get a small glimpse of your happy world. Thank you so much for sharing with us.
Hey, Mar! Thanks so much, I'm glad you liked it. As for the possessions - the world is too focused on "things"...they need to be more focused on people and maybe the world would be a better place. Family has nothing to do with how much you own or how much money you have in the bank...and it never should. Thanks for the votes, love.:) Have a great week!
What a beautiful list! I loved that I didn't find money or material possessions strewn anywhere throughout these simple but spot-on aspects of a balanced and good life.
Voted UP & UAB! Thank you and take care, mar.
seeker7 - thanks for your kind words, yet again! It is truly sad to think that some people in Ohio and Missouri and Alabama have lost key people in their families...truly disturbing and heart-wrenching.
cogerson - thanks for the votes! you rock!
shanaya - bookmarked? sweet! Thanks so much!
Well done and stated kitty. Without family what do we really have in this world. For it is generally the good seed in our civilization. Every person was meant to have one and for those who don't we should open our hearts.
UP so high, AWESOME, USEFUL.
Beautiful hub Kitty - simple yet profound. As long as there is a good family around you, it's possible to cope with most things in life. That's why my heart goes out to anyone who has no family or for some reason has lost touch with them.
Hi, QudsiaP1! Thanks so much for your kind words. Have a great weekend!
Wonderful hub KittytheDreamer!! Family is such a lovely blessing. I really enjoyed this writing. Thank you for sharing.

Q: Bash searching for pairs I have two files which I want to pair up and save the index of the first file with the corresponding index on the second file if they match.
For example:
Textfile1
a
b
c
d
e
d
e
c

Textfile2
c
e
e
d
b
a

Output
(1,6) (2,5) (3,1) (4,4) (5,3) (5,2) (6,4) (7,3) (7,2) (8,1)

I tried using nl for numbering the rows, join for joining to pairs and sorting to sort the pairs but I don't get it.

A: With awk, read second file into an array and loop through it for printing matches while reading first file.
awk 'NR==FNR { a[$0,++n[$0]]=NR; next } ($0 in n) { for (i=1;i<=n[$0];i++) printf "(%d, %d)\n",FNR,a[$0,i] }' file2 file1

A: could you please try following.
awk '
FNR==NR{
  a[$0,++b[$0]]=FNR
  next
}
{
  if(b[$0]>=++c[$0]){
    if(b[$0]==1){
      print "("FNR","a[$0,++d[$0]]")"
    }
    else{
      for(i=1;i<=b[$0];i++){
        print "("FNR","a[$0,i]")"
      }
    }
  }
  else{
    c[$0]--
    print "("FNR","a[$0,d[$0]]?a[$0,d[$0]]:0")"
  }
}
'  Input_file2   Input_file1

Output will be as follows.

I have three of the Wyze Cam2 model, and so far I love them! Only one major issue, which involves micro SD cards.
I bought three 32 GB Kingston micro SD SDCS cards-at separate times-and all three appear to have failed after approximately one month of use.
To further troubleshoot the issue, I used an Adata 64 GB micro SD card in one of the cameras…it worked well but also stopped recording when it became full. Multiple attempts to format the card using the Wyze app failed. On the fourth reformat attempt, it worked. Strange, and worrisome!
The issue appears to be when the SD card becomes full. The camera stops recording and the micro SD card fails to reformat, using the Wyze app. After that, the micro SD card appears to completely fail (at least with the Kingston 32 GB micro SD cards).
I assumed it was the cards failing, but it seems strange that 3 cards, plus one from a different manufacturer, have not worked consistently, and have suffered similar issues.
As for method 4, neither Windows 7 nor 10 will even recognize the micro SD cards…I tested both computers with a micro SD card that had never been used in a Wyze camera, and it was recognized instantly and easily.
Method 5 didn't work; the camera says the micro SD card is locked. I made sure the lockable switch on the card was in the unlocked position. Still no luck.
Anyone else suffering from this issue?
Same issue. Did your first two steps.
I have the same issue. When the SD card is full, it stops recording rather than overwriting from the beginning. I have my cameras set up to only record motion.
I read in another post that reformatting the card with a GoPro works. I tried it with my Hero 4 Silver and just like that, issue resolved. It has not filled up yet so I don't know much about the above overwriting issue, but this got the card to finally work in the cam. Hopefully this will be fixed in future firmware updates.
I had this happen once and reformatting the card from within the app fixed it.
Same problem here, tried all of your five ideas, no joy. Wyze Cam Pan was reading the card, but no longer recording, so I did a reformat in the camera app. Now the card isn't being seen at all.
Here is what worked for me to get my SD card recognized in the camera. I watched a Wyze cam tech video and they advised that we should use a computer to reformat the SD card before installing it in the Wyze cam. I reformatted my new SanDisk 32gb card in my laptop ensuring it was Fat32. I then installed it in my brand new Wyze cam and it was not recognized, I tried numerous steps as others have posted but still could not get it working. I noted that the SD card could not be reformatted in the camera as the format button was greyed out.
Thus, I reformatted the card in my laptop not in FAT 32 but rather in exFAT, I did this in hope that when I put the card in the Wyze camera the format button would not be greyed out…I put the SD back in the camera and indeed the format button functioned. After reformatting the card it immediatley was recognized and started to record events. I hope this works for others.
I am collecting some info on similar issues. If you still have this issue not solved, can you check something for me? When you format the card in camera, check the "SD card memory available" before and after formatting. Before formatting, do you have a low number (eg. 1.x GB) available out of 29.x GB? The camera may report "formatting complete" but afterwards, it still says 1.x GB available. If the formatting was really successful, it should show 29.x/29.x available (IOW, the card is empty).
The SD Memory Card Formatter formats SD Memory Card, SDHCMemory Card and SDXC Memory Card (respectively SD/SDHC/SDXC Cards) complying with the SD File System Specification created by the SD Association (SDA).
I think you will find it report errors and fail to format. In this state, you can copy off what's still on the card, but cannot format the card or write new data to it.
Let me know if this is what you're seeing. This is what I'm trying to track down.
Hello, and sorry to all for the radio silence!
I finally realized after some testing that 3 of 4 of the Kingston microSD cards were bricked. I thought it was the cameras that were the issue, but it turns out the microSD cards never worked, brand-new out of the box!
The 4th Kingston microSD card I bought worked for a few days, and then failed.
After this experience, I will never buy any Kingston products again.
I purchased microSD cards from a different manufacturer for my Wyze cams and they have worked for months with no issues.
Good luck to everyone having trouble, wish I could have helped more!
SOLVED – I had the same issue yesterday. I was using the Sandisk 32gb class 10.
When I kicked off formatting from the camera/app, it got stuck and after that the camera stopped recognizing the sd card. I tried formatting fat32 using a Mac and a windows pc but it didn't help.
finally, i downloaded the formatting utility from the Sandisk site and formatted the sd card using their utility which did the trick. The key difference in formatting via pc/mac is that the sd card shows 29.5gb available while the out-of-the-box the sd card is 29.7gb free space. Formatting using the sandisk utility gives back the 29.7gb which the Camera is able to detect.
I just bought two cameras (one stationary and one panning) a week ago and two Sandisk 32gb class 10 cards. I had no problem installing a card in the Wyze cam, but I have now bricked two cards in the Wyze cam pan. The camera started out recognizing the cards and said there was 29.x/29.x gb available. Then when it tried to format the card, it failed several times before finally giving the result of 10mb/0mb and is now unable to recognize the card. My mac does not even recognize the card so that I can reformat it. Before installing the card in the camera, I first tested in the computer, which recognized it without a problem.
I resolved my problem. The cards were not actually bricked. It took several tries, but I was able to get the mac eventually format the card with the native Mac software. Then I used the SanDisk format utility and did a full disk format. I reset the camera and made sure the camera was not trying to record to the card until I was sure the camera recognized the card. Not sure exactly what made it work, but it finally worked.
I also had the same problem on multiple v=2 cameras, after about 6 months of use. The symptom of the problem is that the cameras tell me that there is no microSD card installed and so stop recording data, even though a completely good SD card in inserted and there had been proper recording of data since the cameras were new up until this time. You would not even know anything was wrong unless you go and check for the camera's media or try to view a recording. The issue appears to be either when the SD card becomes full and the camera needs to provide more room; or, possibly, when I manually try to reformat the SD drive using the Wyze app. I will continue to monitor this to see if I can close on the exact circumstances of this failure. However, in the short term, I have been successful in correcting the problem by removing the SD card from the camera, reformating it in a Windows 10 machine using the full (not "Quick") format method, and reinstalling the card into the camera being careful to power down the camera for 20 seconds before inserting the card.

Too often, homeowners call to say they need our help because their last garden re-do did not turn out well. Among other things, they say the design was not sympathetic to the house style, patios or walkways weren't in the right places, drainage issues were left unresolved and/or plants didn't thrive. Usually a professional did not do the design, and the installer "designed" them with their profit margin in mind and without the homeowner's needs in mind. This parable about the design and installation of a different type of project reveals the importance of having the proper design professional on board.
Homeowner Earl E. Riser's local government finally passed an ordinance allowing backyard chickens. Earl could already taste those fresh eggs scrambled with a rasher of bacon. However, the hens needed a home and Earl was a big fan of one-stop shopping. Freddy Fox claimed he was a Cracker Jack designer and a thorough contractor who could handle the whole henhouse project. In fact, the design would be free and he could do all of it for less money and with less hassle.
Freddie seemed really confident and even had pictures of henhouses with a few that rivalled a mini-Taj Mahal. This was eggxactly what Earl thought he was looking for. He signed on the dotted line, wrote a check and sat back with visions of Mediterranean and Mexican omelets dancing in his head.
Finally it was time to see Freddy's plan. The napkin it was sketched on was not impressive but the sight of a bit of Hollandaise sauce dribbled on one corner made Earl drift off into a reverie about the eggs Benedict he had while on vacation. The poached eggs were just right –dippy eggs where the yolks runneth over. But, his eggs would be even fresher and dippier.
Construction seemed to go smoothly, but it was hard to tell if the rising structure really was the same as what was shown on the napkin. Hmmm, was that "plan" to scale? However, the coop did look quite impressive. When the city inspector stopped by, she discovered one wall too close to a property line. Freddy's upcharge to move it a few feet was unexpected and work slowly progressed.
Finally it was time for the hens to come home to roost – so to speak. Earl bought a new frying pan for his egg creations and it didn't take long for the hens to settle in and scratch around snatching bugs in the backyard. Knowingly, Earl smiled since he knew the bugs and the compost the hens ate would add flavor to the eggs. Soon, the clucking signaled laying activity and that evening Earl pulled out his whisk, bowl, and brand spankin' new pan. The refrigerator was stocked with bacon, mushrooms, green pepper, and cheese.
That night, Earl slept fitfully as his dog in the neighboring room paced and barked. Towards morning, dreams of dancing eggs had Earl up bright and early. With a basket in hand, he sprinted out to the henhouse only to find no eggs – or hens. However, there were plenty of feathers along with a hole in what now appeared to be a way-too-flimsy fence. Hmmm, did that napkin include any fence specifications? And, oh my, what was Freddie Fox's business card doing there stuck in the fence along with a bit of his fur?
In retrospect, Earl realized he should have hired a design professional. Then a proper set of plans would have been placed out to bid for competitive pricing from licensed contractors. This most likely would have protected his wallet and his hens. Unfortunately, the process Earl followed was not what he thought it would be cracked up to be.

After hearing the Rochedale parish choir perform earlier in the year, Runaway Bay parish priest Fr John Khoai requested they sing with his parish choir. Fr Khoai sent a letter to Rochedale parish priest Fr Jacob ...	Read More »


Over the past few decades, China has developed into a manufacturing and trading powerhouse. Now known as the Factory of the World, China's economic model has been built on producing often low-end goods and exporting them in mass volume across the world. This model was pushed with strong government support across the board. Many tax, zoning and administrative policies still reflect this focus, such as the Processing Trade Relief, a program that waives duties and taxes for companies in China that manufacture solely for export.
However, the nature of China's economy is changing. The country is moving towards a more consumption-driven economy, which drastically alters the type of products that are now being imported. Luxury goods, foreign foods and art are replacing electrical components and raw materials for textiles. As demand continues to be weak in major export markets such as the U.S., Western Europe and Japan, Made in China is finding new customers across emerging markets. With the technological capabilities of Chinese companies reaching new levels of sophistication, Western producers of aircraft components, medical devices or telecom equipment suddenly find themselves competing with Chinese players for global market share.

Professor Ian Olver AM leads a research group at UniSA that is seeking to better understand how people experience cancer, treatment and life after a diagnosis. They have developed important tools to help cancer patients and survivors navigate the psychological impact of their disease.
"This research program has a specific goal of developing tools to improve the lives of people who have had a cancer diagnosis," says Professor Ian Olver AM, Professor of Translational Cancer Research and Head of the Psychosocial Oncology Research Group.
Clinical Psychologist and Behavioural Scientist Dr Kate Fennell is leading one area of work in this sphere, which is designed to improve the experiences of country based cancer patients.
"People who live in rural and remote areas have extra challenges when managing a cancer diagnosis," says Dr Fennell.
Dr Fennell's work also involves the development of online resources that are tailored to country dwellers, including: a series of personal experience videos for Rural Cancer Voices; the Cancer Council SA Country Cancer Support information website; and ifarmwell, an online self-management tool to help Australian farmers cope with events beyond their control.
The team is also exploring many other facets of the cancer patient and survivor experience including: improving cognitive function and ongoing nausea after treatment; the importance of spiritual wellbeing on state of mind; improving the outcomes of adolescents and young adults by helping them take their oral chemotherapy as prescribed using a text-message based intervention.

Today we released one new feature and addressed two open issues.
In the last release we introduced tag grouping. In this release, we have added the capability to add these tag groups as separate columns in reports.
Clicking on the button opens a dialogue box that provides the options to place a grouped tag category as a column.
One thing to note is that if you have custom reports built with the tag field, you will need to modify the reports to accommodate any newly created tag categories going forward.
Addressed an issue where the end of the lead time falls in a lock period and the resulting suggested order is moved to the next free bucket, the status is displayed as Normal even if the inventory falls below zero at the end of the lead time. The status is now correctly displayed as Urgent.
Addressed an issue where the average selling price is not displayed correctly when aggregating the demand plan view from weekly to monthly buckets.

Q: Maintaining Session State in Azure WebApp How can I maintain users to get redirected to the same Server in a Load-Balanced Web Apps
Your answer will be very helpful

A: Traffic Manager directs the user to the appropriate region, but assuming you have your web app scaled out to at least two instances, ARR (Application Request Routing) is what directs each request to a specific instance of the app.
ARR has a feature called Session Affinity which is enabled by default.  It uses an ARRAffinity cookie to attempt to route all requests from a client to the same instance of your application.  I say "attempt" because, the cloud being what it is, instances of your app can come and go due to autoscaling or maintenance activities.

A: Your best bet is to use Azure Traffic manager. When setup correctly it will route users to the proper cloud service in their region and provide them with the best possible experience.

Impact of Hourly Wind Power Variations on the System Operation in the Nordic Countries
Author: Holttinen, Hannele | Denmark, Finland, Grid, Norway, Sweden
[abstract] The variations of wind power production will increase the flexibility needed in the system when significant amounts of load are covered by wind power. When studying the incremental effects that varying wind power production imposes on the power system, it is important to study the system as a whole: only the net imbalances have to be balanced by the system. Large geographical spreading of wind power will reduce variability, increase predictability and decrease the occasions with near zero or peak output. The goal of this work was to estimate the increase in hourly load-following reserve requirements based on real wind power production and synchronous hourly load data in the four Nordic countries. The result is an increasing effect on reserve requirements with increasing wind power penetration. At a 10% penetration level (wind power production of gross demand) this is estimated as 1·5%–4% of installed wind capacity, taking into account that load variations are more predictable than wind power variations.

Before we set foot in the movie theater to watch "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince," my then-10-year-old twin Harry Potter addicts and I thoroughly discussed seeing the sixth installment. We knew there'd be scary images of violent wizarding magic. But it wasn't the lethal use of magic in a PG movie about which I should've been concerned. During a 1:10 p.m. showing of a kids' film on a weekday in July, I didn't expect that the previews would be, in a word, terrifying, at least from a 10-year-old's point of view.
Before we set foot in the movie theater to watch "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince," my then-10-year-old twin Harry Potter addicts and I thoroughly discussed seeing the sixth installment. We knew there'd be scary images of violent wizarding magic, including the death of one of the characters -- minus the blood and gore but packed with plenty of emotion.
They told me that because they'd read all the books and had seen the other movies numerous times, they could handle it. Plus, they argued, they knew when they'd need to avert their eyes if they so desired -- like I do during Grey's Anatomy's gory surgical scenes -- and told me to stop being so overprotective.
But it wasn't the lethal use of magic in a PG movie about which I should've been concerned. During a 1:10 p.m. showing of a kids' film on a weekday in July, I didn't expect that the previews would be, in a word, terrifying, at least from a 10-year-old's point of view.
Consider the trailer for the film "Sherlock Holmes." It had extremely violent scenes of men beating on one another.
That was followed by the promo for the apocalyptic film "2012," about the end of the world. The PG-13 movie, described by the Motion Picture Association of America's ratings bureau as having "intense disaster sequences," showed a faux newscaster talking about a mass suicide, where bodies were seen lying on the ground. A dad was in the car with his two kids (similar to the kids in the audience) when fiery objects started raining down from the sky at their vehicle. This was followed by scenes of recognizable cities (New York, Washington, D.C.) on fire, falling into the ocean or folding into spontaneously created crevices in the earth's surface.
All this was dovetailed by horrified-looking children, looking horrified because, as we were reminded, it's the end of the world. Dad can't save ya. Sorry guys.
I can prepare my kids for a PG movie that contains wizarding violence – where someone's killed by a green bolt of light -- but not for movie trailers that I don't know are coming, particularly when they're advertising a PG-13 film about the end of the real world (not a make-believe Potter fantasy world) and families getting violently swallowed up on screen as the earth breaks apart.
I thought we'd be safe seeing a matinee, filled nearly to capacity with kids and their parents. I was wrong.
A few weeks later, my husband and I went to see "Julie & Julia," the PG-13 film about Julia Child, to which we had considered taking our now-11-year-old twins. My daughter really wanted to see it. The reviews said the movie contained sensuality (there was, in fact, clothed, implied marital relations between Julia Child and her husband) and, by my count, one big obscenity.
While I don't usually let them see PG-13 movies unless my husband or I have pre-screened them at home (like we did with the fifth Potter film), the subject matter of this one – how Julia Child got her first cookbook published and how another woman, decades later, blogged about cooking every recipe in Child's book during the course of a year – didn't seem too intense for them.
As it turned out, my husband and I went to see it without them, though there were a few children in the audience during the Sunday afternoon matinee. And it's a good thing the kids didn't accompany us.
Why? Because of the trailers. In addition to showing the preview for "2012" again, there was a trailer for the film "The Stepfather," about a 40-something mom of three kids who marries a man whom she didn't realize was a homicidal maniac on the run from the police.
Why should I have to worry about seeing a preview for this kind of a movie during a matinee of a cerebral film about two women learning how to cook French food?
Searching for answers, I contacted a spokesman for the Regal Entertainment Group, which runs a chain of national movie theaters, and asked him how they determine which trailers will be shown and when. The studios specifically ask to show their trailers before particular films, he said. Movie theater exhibitors, along with the MPAA, then assess the trailers' compatibility with the feature films' expected audience. The time of day when the film is being shown isn't an issue, he said.
Following the debacle that preceded the "Half-Blood Prince," my kids are now petrified about going to the movies because they don't want to see any previews that'll give them nightmares, as "2012" did for one of them. Imagine if they'd seen "The Stepfather" promo.
The theaters aren't making wise choices about the appropriateness of the previews they show if they think that a pre-teen movie about a boy wizard has the same audience as a film about the end of the world, dead families and mass suicides, or that a film about women finding their life's calling through French cooking suits the same crowd as a movie about a chainsaw-wielding homicidal stepfather.
DVDs and On Demand will be my family's way to watch films together for the time being. At least the soda'll be cheaper.


Spinach takes on a whole new dimension in this subtly spiced soup.
1. Stove-top Method: In a saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté for 2 minutes. Add the spinach and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 8 to 10 minutes, until the spinach is tender. Cool.
Microwave Method: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the oil and onion. Cook on high (100%) for 1 minute. Add the spinach and only ½ cup of vegetable broth and cook, covered, on high for 5 to 7 minutes, until the spinach is tender. Add the remaining broth. Cool.
2. In a food processor fitted with a steel blade, or a blender, puree the mixture. Pour the puree into a saucepan. Add the remaining ingredients except the yogurt and simmer for 5 minutes, until the soup is heated through. Serve hot garnished with a swirl of yogurt in each bowl.

Usually talkative Trump silent on asylum changes
by: JILL COLVIN, Associated Press
Posted: Jul 22, 2019 / 04:53 PM CDT / Updated: Jul 22, 2019 / 05:18 PM CDT

WASHINGTON (AP) — It is, arguably, the most sweeping step that President Donald Trump's administration has taken to try to stop the flow of migrants at the border — the kind of thing he might have been expected to promote on Twitter and brandish in front of news cameras as proof he is taking hardline steps to crack down on illegal immigration.
Under proposed new rules, Trump would effectively end asylum, barring claims from migrants who'd traveled through Mexico from other countries and closing the door to tens of thousands of individuals and families fleeing violence and economic duress in El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras.
Instead, the move one week ago has been followed by relative silence about the policy change.
Trump has yet to tweet about the effort or discuss it publicly, even when prompted. Asked specifically about the move by a reporter last week, Trump took the conversation elsewhere. His most prominent anti-immigration adviser, Stephen Miller, failed to mention the effort during a Sunday talk show appearance. And a senior Department of Homeland Security official tried to play down its significance before issuing a quiet retraction.
The approach has been met with surprise by some who have spent more than two years fighting Trump's attempted immigration changes.
"I think we were all surprised that the administration has conceded that the policy may be quickly enjoined and even suggested that it wasn't as broad as everyone assumed," said American Civil Liberties Union attorney Lee Gelernt, who was traveling to California on Monday to argue against the changes in court.
"Normally," he said, the administration has "tried to paint their policies as broad and unprecedented as possible."
The White House did not respond to multiple requests for comment about the strategy, but several senior administration officials seemed to have paid the measure and its rollout little attention themselves.
Observers offered several potential explanations, including possible fatigue over an endless stream of immigration orders, rules and changes that seem to blur together — including another Monday that would expand the authority of immigration officers to deport migrants without requiring them to appear before judges. In addition, the announcement came during an especially crowded news cycle, with Trump's racist tweets and comments targeting four Democratic congresswoman of color commanding most of the attention in Washington over the past week.
When Miller appeared on "Fox News Sunday," for instance, he did not field a single question on immigration policy and instead spent his segment defending the tweets. And lawmakers didn't bring it up when Acting Homeland Security Secretary Kevin McAleenan appeared before a House committee last week to discuss family separations.
Others cited the fact that both activists and administration officials seem certain the asylum change will be blocked by the courts, as have so many of Trump's previous immigration efforts.
"If we thought this really was going to be the new policy of the land, we would be lying down in front of ICE buses and taking over DHS facilities," said Frank Sharry, executive director of America's Voice, a liberal immigration reform group. But, he said, "just about everybody expects it to be enjoined by the court and the preparation for the implementation of the strategy has been almost non-existent."
Sharry said the administration appeared more interested in producing a headline to scare off potential migrants than actually following through with policy changes.
"They're trying to use cruelty as a deterrent and tough talk as a deterrent. And so this was, 'Let's get a headline that says we're stopping asylum,'" Sharry said.
But the threat of court action didn't stop the administration from stirring up attention for past efforts that have either been quickly blocked by judges or abandoned at the last minute — including the first iterations of Trump's proposed "Muslim ban" and his threat to shut down the entire southern border.
This time, however, the effort was announced with little fanfare — published quietly in the Federal Register — with a joint statement hours later from the attorney general and McAleenan, but no explanation of how it would work practically at the border.
Some Homeland Security officials said they were caught off guard by the regulations' introduction and unsure about how to implement the new process alongside the administration's other efforts to curb asylum, including the so-called "remain in Mexico" program. That program forces asylum-seekers to wait out their cases in Mexico.
There also appears to be confusion within the department's highest ranks. Mark Morgan, the new acting head of U.S. Customs and Border Protection, tried to downplay the effort in an NPR interview last week, saying the administration would only be testing the new rules in a pilot program along one small stretch of the border. He also said he doubted the courts would allow the rule to move forward, citing two federal lawsuits seeking to block it.
"We're actually anticipating that probably the regulation will be enjoined," he said.
But no mention of a piecemeal approach had been made previously and Morgan walked back the comment hours later.
The rule "speaks to asylum eligibility and applies to all amenable individuals," he said.
A judge on Monday said he'd decide as soon as possible whether to block the rules temporarily while the case played out. The judge cited Morgan's comments in his questioning, wondering why the government would have a problem with halting the new rules if they anticipated it anyway.
Trump, meanwhile, was busy tweeting about the self-described "squad" of Democratic congresswomen, calling their views on immigration "So bad for our Country!"

WASHINGTON (NewsNation Now) — The new administration of U.S. President Joe Biden will pause some deportations for 100 days in order to ensure "fair and effective immigration enforcement" and focus on U.S.-Mexico border security and the coronavirus pandemic, according to a Department of Homeland Security memo issued late Wednesday.
Biden promised the deportation moratorium on the campaign trail.


It seems that I lost a couple of years since the last chapter. I had been sharing shop space with a couple of friends, see here, but kept the Prefect at home while doing all the stuff in the last few chapters. After a time, that partnership broke up and, not being able to afford the rent on 2000 square feet, I moved all my projects to a self-storage unit. It was a fairly nice 20x30 foot space with overhead doors at each end. In fact, it was another unit in the same facility where I finished the restoration of Joe Hobbs's Mercedes a few years ago. Although it seemed like a workable solution at the time I actually accomplished very little on the car during the two years there. I did work on the seats and other upholstery at home but that is a subject for another chapter.
These photos are of the original shared shop. The Volkswagen is Judy's, see here and the white Mercedes is our old 450SE. I have since given the Mercedes to my son when I moved to the storage unit as there was not enough space for it there. The Sprite on the dolly is mine, described here. The Prefect was never at this location. The others are owned by my partners. There is also a new MGB not shown in these photos. Over the three years we were there, several more cars came and went. This shop is where I Built the custom components for the clutch and petrol tank in the previous chapter.
A few short months ago the situation changed. A couple of brothers, old friends, built a very nice shop building several years ago and they offered me some work space in it. The brothers both have project cars and the space devoted to cars is about 40x40 feet. I don't have quite as much space as I had but still workable, plenty of room for my storage shelves and space to work on one car or park two. The shop has plenty of windows and lights, a loo, forced air heat and a burglar alarm. I expect to get a lot done there. Actually, I feel like I have already accomplished significantly more than I managed in the several years at either of the previous two locations. The left photo is of the storage unit and the other is the Prefect in its new location with a nice daily driver MGB on one side and a Ford Model A on the other. The Model A was a fully restored, parade car but was the victim of a garage fire a few years ago. It is now being restored again. That is my Sprite on top of the shelves, the same location it had in my garage years ago. There is also a very nicely restored Morris Minor drop head in a separate room of the building.
Ok, I have digressed. This chapter was supposed to be about "making it run" again. I had a full month to move from the storage facility to my new home. Most of that time was used moving the shelving units and all the spare parts for all three cars. when it got down to the last week, the only thing left was the Prefect. I estimated I had plenty of time to get it running and drive it to its new home. After all, I had done the preliminary stuff in the last chapter. That was the goal anyway. I of course once again checked the oil, removed the spark plugs and squirted a little oil down the holes. Then I cranked on the starter until the gauge showed over 10 psi of oil pressure. That done, I put a gallon of petrol in the tank and hit the switch to prime the system. After many seconds, I determined that no fuel was being delivered to the carburetor. There is a second, see-through filter at the mechanical pump on the engine that was still empty.
After a few tries, I decided to remove the electric, priming pump to diagnose why it seemed to be not pumping as it did make the usual noise. When I opened it up, I found the diaphram had virtually melted into a sticky, black glob. It being a cheap pump, I discarded it and bought a new Facit pump. These pumps seem to be fairly popular with LBC owners as replacements for the fairly expensive SU originals. Since this pump is intended to run only long enough to fill the carburetor then switch off, the fact that they don't go silent when pressured like the solenoid types is not a problem. Unfortunately, the way I chose to mount the pump and pre-filter is not very conducive to changing components. It took the better part of a day to make the changes necessary and mount the new pump. Even then, it will not be suitable long term. I will have to remove it once more and remake the rubber mount from another old tire.
With the new pump finally in place, I again hit the switch and watched for the visual filter to fill up. It shortly did then the mechanical pump immediately started dumping fuel onto the floor. It looks like its diaphram is rubbish also. Well, no big problem. I would just plumb around it and let the electric pump feed the carburetor directly long enough to get to the new shop where I would rebuild the mechanical pump. There is a pipe from the mechanical pump directly to the carb that I wanted to keep for later use so I went to the hardware store to make up a temporary pipe from the filter to the carb. It turns out that the fittings must be made from that rare material, unobtanium, as nothing in current brass fittings will mate up to the carb. I had to cut the pipe to attach a hose from the filter after all.
With that done, I was pretty sure we were ready to start. I again switched on the electric pump and watched for the carburetor to fill up which it did shortly. The next problem was that it did not stop there. The needle valve failed and the pump continued pumping fuel out the overflow, which is also the atmosphere port right in the throat. Although I got the lowest pressure pump available, 2-4 psi, I wasn't sure whether it was too much pressure or the valve just didn't seat. I took the top off the float bowl and lowered the float about 1/16 inch and reassembled. As luck would have it, that cured the overflow problem. With fuel finally being delivered, it still would not start.
The next step was to check the electrical system. I did not have any diagnostic tools with me but this is a really simple system. Seat-of-the-pants diagnosis should be adequate. I looked at the points. The gap was all right and they were slightly tarnished but didn't seem too bad. There was voltage at the distributor and I disconnected the condenser just to be sure it was not shorted internally. A couple of times, I thought I heard it pop but no attempt to start or even give any hope that it might. Finally, I took the points home to file them down and polish the tarnish. By this time, I had lost another day. Would try again tomorrow.
Sure enough, I reinstalled the points, switched on the fuel pump and hit the starter switch. It started almost quicker than I could get my finger off the switch. Success finally. It ran for several seconds, maybe a minute, then quit and would not start again. I had forgotten that the fuel pump and starter are two, mutually-exclusive positions of the same switch. This was all right for how the electric pump was intended to be used but I have to remember to switch the pump back on after starting.
With it now running and showing good oil pressure, I decided to fill the cooling system and bring it up to proper operating temperature. Remember way back in Chapter I the problem with coolant left in a system for years. So it had been left dry. Over several minutes, it slowly climbed to 180 deg which is the thermostat rating. But it did not stop there. It continued to climb to 200 at which point I shut it down. There has always been one quirk with its cooling with this replacement engine. The temperature tends to hold fairly steady at 180 for a while then slowly climb to 195 or so before quickly dropping back to 180 and starting the cycle over again repeatedly. For that reason I wasn't too concerned yet. After letting it set for about a half hour, I started it again. I figured that if the thermostat had finally opened, the temperature should almost immediately drop back to 180. It did not, however. With only one day left on my lease, I decided to get the tow dolly and tow it to the new shop after all.
Once in the new home, I replaced the thermostat with one rated at 160 deg instead of 180 figuring that it will probably still fluctuate like before and I would rather have it stay below 180 instead of climbing to 195 and back. I also reconfigured the mounting for the fuel pump to a more suitable form. Next, I wanted to flush the cooling system so pushed it outside, added the can of flush and let it run for about 45 minutes. The flush recommended running it a couple of days for a car that has not been run in a long time. I opted to flush on two consecutive days instead. The photo is of the Prefect, next to a '50 Ford Pickup, outside while flushing. This gives some idea of the actual size of it relative to the Ford. Interestingly, both days, the temperature slowly climbed to 160 degrees but never fluctuated at all from that point. I guess that "quirk" was the fault of the original thermostat all along.
With it finally running apparently pretty reliably, I really wanted to drive it at least a little bit. Remember it has been 18 years since it was last driven. I also wanted it in a condition where I could move it in the shop under its own power instead of having to always push it. To that end, it needed a seat. The front seat is fully upholstered and ready to install. The car has no glass, shops are not necessarily the cleanest of environments and there is still a lot of work to be done resulting in dirty trousers. It seemed imprudent to install a finished seat at that time. The photo shows my temporary solution, thanks to a 2x4 and some plywood scraps. It is not the most comfortable of seats but it does get the designed job done. With the temporary seat installed, and having a relatively nice day, I actually drove the Prefect around the block. This was the first drive in 18 years. By now it was the middle of December 2016 and the weather was about to turn for the worse. It is time to start on the remaining body repairs and do whatever is needed to get the fuel supply system finished. But that is for the next chapter.

The BMC is a display case / showcase - They are used heavily by retail stores - but also by museums, businesses, and in homes to showcase valuable items or collections. Showcases are designed to securely display valuable objects to be viewed through one side (the "customer side") and have them accessible through the other (the "clerk side"). For this reason, showcases are most associated with retail stores.
The amount display space is greater than a normal stand up glass showcase. Simply put more display in less space.
No items are hidden which is typical in a standard display case.
Every tray is a focal point encouraging the viewer to closely look at each item.
A convenient lift up top serving door provides the clerk ready access when assistance is appropriate.
Emotionally, for the viewer, the curiosity about what is in the next tray, and the desire to find the best or pick a favorite are very difficult to dismiss.
The footprint of the BMC is less than six square feet. It is 36" left to right and 20" front to back. The height option is either 38" or 40". Both are considered standard heights. The cabinet itself is 35" tall with either a 3" or 5" recessed kick base.
The design incorporates the use of multiple trays to present the items for viewing. The trays rotate in a Ferris wheel fashion on a continuous serpentine path. The motion switch is mounted for the viewer to operate giving them control to rotate the trays forward or in reverse. As the trays rotate each passes through an optimal viewing top shelf position, brightly illuminated, only inches below the glass.
More than practical to list. The trays are 31-1/2" long and come in two widths - Narrow and Wide. The wide is 3-3/4" inside front to back and the narrow is 2-1/2". You can select either or have a combination of both. As the trays travel a minimum clearance dictates a maximum height of any object in the tray. The trays rotate and gravity keeps them flat as they move just as the passenger seats on a Ferris wheel will stay horizontal. Similarly, as the seat on a Ferris wheel can have a rocking motion so can the tray. A low profile & center of gravity is best for what is being displayed. The items in the trays need to be stable enough to stay in position when the motion starts and stops. The maximum clearance between trays is a dome shape. 3-1/4" at the center and 1-3/4" at the sides for wide trays. Narrow trays are closer together with a maximum height of 2" and 1".
The weight of the tray is not as important as the balance of weight in the "circle". The motor works most efficiently when the weight is balanced. If you have a mix of items with trays of different weights it is important to counter balance a light or heavy tray going down with a similar weight tray opposite it in the circle going up. We recommend the total weight of the trays not exceed 45 LBS. The higher the weight the more important it is to keep it balanced. The trays will coast forward or backward when the motor stops if the balance of weight needs to be adjusted.
Your showcase will be shipped as freight via common carrier. We choose between many carriers for shipping within the US, Canada, and internationally. Every shipment is reviewed to determine the best carrier and rate. Freight charges will be calculated based on the specifics of each order.
The shipment will be set up specifically for your location whether it is a commercial or residential destination. Any special services you may require can be arranged. Special services may include lift gate delivery, inside delivery, limited access delivery, or time specific delivery.
Shipments are FOB Origin and sent prepaid unless other arrangements are requested. International shipments outside North America can be brokered through your agents or arranged through our international broker. The crated shipping weight is 198 LBS measuring 41" L x 26" D x 51" H and is shipped freight class 125.

Mizoram Polytechnic Admission 2019: Polytechnic is basically an Institute of Technology West specialises in Engineering, Technology, applied science and sometimes natural Sciences. Mizoram Polytechnic College was the first polytechnic college in the state which established in 1981. The college is located at about 235 km from the capital city of Aizwal. The college is a private college whose current principal is B.Lalhmuakluai and approved is also by AICTE.
If a person is not living in Aizwal and is living in some other state or some other City he can take the admission in college because of the colleges for the provided hostel facilities for both boys and girls. The colleges having a good hostel facility and are hygienic for both boys and girls.
To polish and grow the talent of students there are many co-curricular activities like sports, essay and debate competitions which are held regularly in the college.
Generally, when a student comes to the 2nd year or 3rd year he has to do a specific internship are we can see training. Surya training has also held in factories which are arranged by the institution so that the students could not face a problem in finding a good internship.
As the College of Mizoram that is Mizoram polytechnic college is co-ed college it means both boys and girls are studying in the same college.
The ratio of boys to girls is 60:40. This means the boys are more in number as compared to girls.
Mizoram polytechnic college is one of the various polytechnic colleges in the country selected for institution development under the World bank assisted third technician education project.
Mizoram polytechnic college also offers many courses like civil mechanical Electrical and Computer Science Engineering for the students who want to go into the engineering field.
As per today's search, there are 330 students who are doing Polytechnic in the college and the number of classrooms is 8.
So this is a highly furnished college who are focusing on the enhancement of both students and the college.


Those concentrating Music Education are expected to abide by all university and departmental policies outlined in the current APSU Student Handbook, and Department of Music Student Handbook. The following policies apply solely to music education majors.
The Piano Proficiency should ideally be completed by the end of the sophomore year and MUST be completed before the Residency 2 semester.
Music courses/ensembles during the Residency I semester should be limited to: MUS 1060 (Recital Attendance), MUS 3XX0 (Individual Instruction) MUS 3XX0 (Instrumental/Vocal Ensemble), MUS 4500 (Music Curriculum and Assessment), and MUS 4390 (Senior Recital). Residency I students must communicate with ensemble directors, private lessons instructors, and Mentor Teachers to coordinate rehearsal/lesson attendance with Residency I observations and teaching, such that excessive absences or tardies are not accumulated in either commitment. Students should not enroll in additional chamber ensembles or elective lessons unless rehearsal and lesson times coincide with Residency I commitments.
In compliance of state policy, The APSU Clinical Teacher Handbook states, "No other coursework may be taken during the clinical teaching semester. Approval to enroll in an additional course must be obtained in writing from the Dean of the College of Education… [and]…Outside employment is strongly discouraged during the clinical semester. Teacher candidates may not be excused from clinical teaching responsibilities or seminars because of employment. A statement of intent to engage in paid employment during the clinical semester must accompany the application process" (p. 13).
For music students, additional coursework includes private lessons and performing in APSU-sponsored large or small ensembles, either for credit or on a voluntary basis. Music students may be permitted to perform their senior recital in the Residency II Semester provided that the hearing was approved in the Residency 1 Semester.
Outside employment includes paid performance in ensembles that have a regular rehearsal schedule, and teaching private lessons for the Community School of the Arts, other professional organization, or on an individual basis.
Outside employment does not include seasonal performance opportunities (gigs) that occur on an infrequent or irregular basis.
Time commitment: The purpose of clinical teaching is to immerse students into all duties and responsibilities of professional educators including before and after school planning, faculty and committee meetings, bus duty, tutoring, and other responsibilities. Music students may also be expected to lead after-hours sectionals and rehearsals, attend concerts, or accompany ensembles to contests and festivals. When combined with planning and preparation for direct instruction, these expectations present a considerable time commitment for clinical teachers. Generally, clinical teachers are unable to adequately fulfill all of their clinical teaching responsibilities and still have sufficient practice time for lessons, rehearsals and performances.
Presentation and Perception: Clinical Teachers need to present themselves as professional educators more so than as students. In addition, underclassmen need to understand the significance of the clinical teaching semester, and of the responsibilities and expectations of this process. The effectiveness of this expectation is minimized or negated when clinical teachers continue participating in ensembles.
Growth and Development: Clinical teachers who continue to participate in ensembles may indirectly impede the musical, personal, and professional growth of lower-division students. When clinical teachers step out of the way, they provide opportunities for other students to step-in to leadership roles in ensembles, studios, and student organizations.
Music educators are typically responsible for more after-school activities than regular classroom teachers (e.g. sectionals, contests, festivals, parades, concerts, etc…). At the beginning of the Residency 2 semester, music student teachers are expected to communicate with the mentor teachers for both placements to inquire about performance calendars and other after-hours and weekend events, and to attend any and all events that occur during the respective placement. Music clinical teachers may not participate in activities that conflict with after-hours student teacher responsibilities (including but not limited to after school rehearsals, concert dates, contests, festivals, and competitions). Exceptions may be made only in emergency or extreme circumstances under the discretion of the university supervisor, mentor teacher, and coordinator of music education, and if notice is provided by the student at the beginning of the semester, or as early as possible. Failure to comply may result in a failing grade for clinical teaching.


Thoroughly tired of all the silliness in Wonderland, Alice wants more than ever to go home. Fortunately (maybe), the Cheshire Cat has returned with one last piece of advice. if Alice really wants to go home, then she needs to talk to the Queen.
Alice: Oh, Dear! Then let me help you!
All: We're painting the roses red!
It's a hilarious song with a ridiculous concept: the Ace, Two and Three of Clubs have mistakenly planted white roses instead of red ones, and because the Queen hates white roses, they're hastily covering their mistake by painting the roses red (even acknowledging in their song that this will kill the roses entirely). But the Cards figure that killing the roses in the short term is better than losing their heads so, they continue to paint. Alice is happy to help in the work, but it's ultimately not going to do the Cards any good, because here comes the Queen!!

Q: What does setClusterHost mean in vertx? I am trying to learn vertx and downloaded a sample from github.
Consider following code snippet:
VertxOptions options = new VertxOptions().setClustered(true).setClusterHost("localhost");

How can I imagine how the localhost will be clustered?

A: If you run your example in multiple JVM's on the same host, then these JVM's will be clustered.
If you want to run the JVM's on different hosts, then it is important to specify the ip and not localhost.
Here is the Troubelshoot section of the vert.x doc on this topic: http://vertx.io/docs/vertx-hazelcast/java/#_using_wrong_network_interface
If you are interested in playing around with the clustering on one host / different hosts you can use this application https://github.com/swisspush/vertx-cluster-watchdog


Are the wip build numbers generated by the buildbot?
I noticed the number would only go up by 1 each time there's a translation update.
If a PR with 5 commits gets merged, the build number goes up by 5.
(05-16-2016, 03:26 PM)Helios Wrote: If a PR with 5 commits gets merged, the build number goes up by 5.
The number goes up by 6 if a PR with 5 commits is merged, because the merge commit is also counted. Because a PR can't have less than 1 commit, a PR merge always increases the number by at least 2. Translation updates are not PR merges, meaning they don't have a merge commit and can increase the build number by only 1.

Makeup is an art form. Don't take it from me — take it from the woman who transforms into '90s characters so well, it will have your head hurting. BuzzFeed video just released an amazing collection of makeup looks showcasing our favorite cartoon characters growing up. My misunderstood, introverted, childhood-self is glowing on the inside after watching the video fully through.
First of all, take note of the person being transformed — it's Brec Bassinger from Bella and The Bulldogs. In case you haven't been keeping up with Nickelodeon, that show is arguably the most forward thinking kids show starring a female lead. It's about a head cheerleader in Texas who becomes the star quarterback of her school's football team. Boom. #Girlpower all day, son! So who better to embody the female badasses of the '90s quite like the lead of that show? No one. Well, maybe Beyoncé. But that's because Beyoncé could be anything and anyone she wants and we would love her for it.
First of all, let's applaud the genius use of orange hair spray. Who knew that so many characters could be created using one simple costume store item? Second, I forgot just how much I missed Angelica Pickles and her insatiable need for cookies.
While she tormented her younger cousin and his friends, Angelica's redeeming qualities were always tied to her love of her doll Cynthia. Unlike the other members of the Rugrats clan, Angelica always had responsibilities to tend to. Plus, her mother was a total boss. I remember wanting to grow up and have a cool cellphone like her.
Eliza Thornberry was the biggest badass of them all. She could speak to animals and always had an adventure waiting for her. Plus, her sister was my style icon and continues to be an inspiration to us all. Way to #represent, Brec!


Choices for Personal Power! Thank you Depok Chopra!
Depok Chopra has been a lifelong positive influence and with this article I find valuable insights to living an life fueled by personal power. In Nia and Yoga, we focus on the area of the body, the solar plexus, where we connect to our own personal power. We move our chest with shimmies, undulate our spine, open our heart and breathe deeply to free up and connect to our personal power.
"There is such a thing as personal power, but most people haven't encountered it even remotely. That's because their notion of personal power aims at the wrong goal. They define a powerful person as someone with money and status who can exert his will over others. Such a person is imagined to be strong, smart, lucky, and more than a little ruthless. Examples crop up from Washington to Wall Street, any area of life where competition is fierce and the spoils go to the victors.
A powerful person has built a life filled with meaning and purpose.
They are able to realize their intentions.
They direct their attention with efficiency and focus.
Their choices benefit themselves and the people around them.
From inside themselves they tap into creativity, imagination, and insight.
They can feel out a situation through reliable intuition.
Their accomplishments haven't led to self-importance — humility and gratitude are present in their makeup.
At the end of the day life is a continuous source of joy and equanimity for them, not a battlefield of struggle and frustration.
Not every powerful person exhibits these qualities every day; room must be left for personal growth and a host of personal differences. Yet no matter how unique each of us is, we share a common source in the consciousness from which all personal power arises. Once you have made contact with this source, the most valuable things in life – love, compassion, strength, a sense of truth – can be accessed naturally. There is no need to rely on your ego to win them for you (or to do without once your ego fails at the quest).
The kind of power I'm describing isn't the fruit of worldly success – it lies at the source of who you are. Therefore, success is guaranteed and cannot be taken away. This message has been delivered for centuries by the world's wisdom traditions, yet it is left to each of us, at any age, to realize the truth by testing it for ourselves. A journey is implied, a lifelong project to know who you really are.
It's a problem that modern society has such conflicted notions about the inner world, where a muddle has been created by the conflicts between science and religion, contending approaches to psychology, the demands of daily life, and the buried aspirations we never achieve because we spend so much time and effort on distractions. Even so, these obstacles exist in the realm of doing. The realm of being isn't damaged by them; its door is always open.
Am I immune to criticism but responsive to feedback?
Do I feel that I'm beneath no one and superior to no one?
Am I standing up for my own truth?
Do I find myself in the company of those who seek the truth (and act cautious around those who claim to have found it)?
Do I exist in mutual respect with everyone I encounter?
Do I feel the kind of courtesy that comes from the heart?
Do I know when to defer and when to assert myself?
