May is here and that means a new Stamp of the Month from Close To My Heart. This month's stamp set is called "Friendship Bouquet" and features several big sunflower images and some sweet friendship phrases. You can view all the images in this set in the right-hand column of my blog.
If you're in need of inspiration, the Stamp of the Month Blog Hop is the place to get it. Over 50 CTMH consultants are participating this month which guarantees plenty of great ideas. If you're already hopping, you came here from Mary Eisen's blog. Keep scrolling through my post to the end to see where to hop to next.
Meanwhile, check out what I created with this pretty stamp set. It's a tent card that I plan to fill with sunflower seeds.
It starts with a 6 x 6 inch Kraft Die-Cut Card.
I scored on each side of the card fold at 3/4 inches.
and glued one to the inside and one to the outside.
of goodies or some seed packets.
On a piece of watercolor paper cut to 3 1/4 x 5 1/4 inches, I random-stamped some sunflower and leaf images with an archival dark brown ink, masking along the way (post-it-note) to get the leaves close to the flowers.
To watercolor my images, I filled several little cups with re-inkers. Shades of yellow and gold plus green.
Using a waterbrush, I dipped it into the color I wanted, brushed off a little on my mat, then started painting.
I started with the lightest color and painted the outer petals. In this case, Sunflower yellow.
Then I quickly painted in with Goldrush and blended the two together by squeezing water from the waterbrush gently.
I finished the inner part with Autumn Terracotta.
On the large piece with all the stamped images I felt that the colors were a little bright so I sanded over the surface to distress it.
Then I blended in some Bamboo ink with a sponge dauber in the white spaces.
I distressed the edges of the paper with scissors and then ink-distressed with Cocoa.
Then adhere this to a piece of B&T paper.
For added interest, I used a basic hole punch and punched some circles in the scallops of the die-cut card.
and lined the inside of the card so it wasn't so plain. Here is where I will attach some sunflower seeds.
Thanks for scrolling all the way through. Now continue on the Blog Hop and let's see what Allisa Chilton has created.
My "Week in the Life" project has come to a close as of tonight, so this week I'll be finishing up my album and will share it with you as soon as it's done. Be sure to check out Ali Edwards' blog with her beautiful photos as she shares her life with us too. She's so inspiring.
When I don't have a class or crop, our weekends are usually pretty casual and lazy around here. Heck, I was still in my PJs at 11:00 yesterday morning. We are pretty busy during the week, so weekends are about just hanging out together and doing a whole lot of nothing.
Saturday was spent mostly at home with a few hours spent running around to look at plants and garden benches for the front yard while Jamie thrift-shopped with a friend. She came home with a huge loot of great things. We came home with nothing. I didn't take many photos at all since laying on the couch watching TV wasn't that exciting to share.
Today was the regular Sunday routine. Breakfast, grocery shopping, visiting with Paul's dad, then family time at home. The only exception was a stop at the AT&T store to set up a new family phone plan and get Jamie her first cell phone. (At 14 1/2 years old, she's probably the last kid she knows to get one). We got unlimited text, so we've been texting each other all evening.
This past week started off as a fun exercise in self-awareness, then it became a little harder to muster up the enthusiasm to take photos each day, but as the week came to a close I found myself truly appreciating the effort I made to follow through and the lasting results it will produce. I learned that every day we live, whether exciting or not, is precious in its own way. And to take the time to stop and photograph it, write about it, and preserve it is the best way to remember that. I know after this project, I will certainly be scrapbooking in a whole different way. Not just the family trips and momentous occasions, but the little joys in everyday life as well.
So thank you, Ali, for your inspiration.
Another day in the "Week in the Life" project and it's becoming more and more of a habit around here to have my camera in hand everywhere I go. Be sure to visit Ali Edwards' blog for a glimpse into her wonderful ability to capture her everyday moments. Truly inspiring.

The future in 5 predictions according to European Innovation strategists
Lucette Mascini
At the entrance of the congress center in Brussels, where last year's Innovation Days took place, there was a work of art made of plastic material picked up from the ocean.
Well, why are predictions about the future important and why do we talk about them? That's what experts in the field of innovation and related investment are wondering about during the European Innovation Days that will be held from 24 to 26 September in Brussels.
The reason why is that it is extremely important to define a mission and to understand what will matter, says Kerstin Cuhls, attached to the German Fraunhofer Institute for Systems and Innovation, and in the past also adviser on innovation to the European Commission.
No more mucking around
You can't do anything and you can't set a goal. But then, as a country or as the European Union, you are 'durchwursteln', as she calls it. In other words – mucking around. And you really shouldn't want to do that. Here are the five most important predictions for the future between now and 2030 on which the EU should focus, according to the experts invited by the European Commission.
1. Recycling plastic will become serious business
According to the British consultant and scenario planner David Lye, plastic recovered from the oceans will become serious business because it will serve as a raw material for new products. He thinks that a technology will become available whereby enzymes digest plastic and convert it into new raw materials. These can be commercially exploited. Lye advised the European Commission in drafting the European Commission's Horizon 2020 investment program. This will involve many millions of euros, so it wouldn't hurt to pay attention to what he has to say.
2. Companies will all join the circular economy
In brief: the new standard in society will be that the economy will become completely circular, says Lidia Borrell. She is in her first week as Secretary-General of Science Europe, an organization which invests in exceptional scientific discoveries. By 2030, businesses will be using existing products and leaving no waste behind which they are unable to reuse. Companies that do not do this will probably fall by the wayside.
3. Climate damage will become part of a company's risk profile
How that will work is made clear thanks to the prediction of investor Katarin Wagner from the HSBC investment bank. She expects that companies looking for funding will become more transparent about the way they manufacture their products. Plus they will be expected to clarify to what extent their production depends on methods that are detrimental or not to the climate. A method that is damaging poses a risk, as the market may reject it, which in turn makes its future prospects less solid. And in the end, that is less attractive for investors.
4. By 2030, the young people of today will all be short-sighted.
Expert on the future Kerstin Cuhls of the Fraunhofer Institute has a sobering message, as she herself describes it. Nobody had predicted that consumers would become addicted to streaming their social media. But that has happened. According to her, young people are ruining their eyes en masse, as their eyes are not suited to being focused on small screens for such long periods of time. Over the next ten years, they need to be taught that this is not a good thing. Technology needs to improve so that our eyes no longer get worse because of all of that staring at our screens. Otherwise we will all become short-sighted en masse by 2030.
5. Gene technology is becoming the basis of agriculture
According to the Lithuanian State Secretary for Education and Science, Valdemaras Razumas, all agricultural production in ten years' time will be based on genetic engineering. He is currently discussing this with members of the European Parliament. According to him, this technology will be decisive for Europe's future political course.

Public health research in the UK: a report with a European perspective.

Public health research is of growing interest within Europe. Bibliometric research shows the UK with a high absolute output of public health publications, although lower per capita than Nordic countries. UK contributed to a European Union (EU) project PHIRE to assess public health research and innovation.
UK health research structures, and programmes funded in 2010, were determined from internet search. Expert informants were asked to comment on national uptake of eight projects EU collaborative health projects. The Faculty of Public Health and the UK Society for Social Medicine discussed the findings at a meeting with stakeholders.
Health research in UK is funded by research councils, the National Health Service (NHS) and independent foundations. Reviews and reports on public health research have encouraged diversified funding. There were 15 programmes and calls in 2010. The UK participated in all eight EU projects, and there was uptake of results for four.
Strategic coordination between public health researchers and practitioners, and the UK research councils, ministries of health and medical charities would strengthen research for policy and practice. With growing expertise and capacity across other EU countries, the UK should take more active leadership in European collaboration.

Roger Federer, Milos Raonic to meet again in Brisbane final
BRISBANE, Australia — Roger Federer and Milos Raonic will meet again in the Brisbane International final in a reprise of the 2015 decider at the Australian Open warm-up tournament.
Defending champion Federer, who has been dealing all week with lingering flu-like symptoms, had a 6-1, 6-4 win on Saturday over eighth-seeded Dominic Thiem, while Raonic beat local hope Bernard Tomic 7-6 (5), 7-6 (5) in the earlier semifinal.
Federer held off Raonic in three sets here last year, earning his 1,000th career match win as he clinched the title.
"It was my best match of the tournament. I hit the ball very well. I'm very excited to be back in the final — it's special playing Milos again tomorrow," said Federer, who is one win away from his 89th career title. "I've come here three times now and three times I've made the final, so I'm very happy."
Federer lost to Australia's Lleyton Hewitt in the 2014 final, his first trip to the Brisbane tournament.
There were no service breaks in the first of the semifinals but Raonic dominated the tiebreakers, racing to 5-1 leads in both and then holding off Tomic after the Australian leveled each tiebreaker at 5-5.
Raonic stopped working with Ivan Ljubicic late last year and recently hired Carlos Moya as a coach. Llubicic is now working as part of Federer's team.
The Canadian missed the French Open last year because of a foot problem and later dropped out of the top 10.
"It's sort of confirming to myself and the people close to me that we're on the right track, doing the right kind of work, and the progress is there," Raonic said of his confident start to the season. "So tomorrow is a great test for me, and one that I'm going to try to make the most of."
Unseeded Victoria Azarenka will be chasing her first title since 2013 when she takes on No. 4-seeded Angelique Kerber in the women's night final.
Azarenka, a two-time Australian Open champion who won the Brisbane title in 2009 and lost the final here in 2013, continued a recent surge in form with a lopsided 6-0, 6-3 win against American qualifier Samantha Crawford in the semifinals. Kerber beat Carla Suarez Navarro 6-2, 6-3.

Heavy squatting! The first set should be challenging (approximately 75-80% of a known recent 1RM) but allow for a build up for at least the first 2-3 sets. Attempt to find a 4 rep max. For newer athletes increase the reps to 7 with lower weight.
Intended Stimulus: Isolated posterior chain strengthening and stamina development. Focus on quality over the weight and reps.
Intermediate Attempt as written. Modify band tension and loading to perform the movements.

In this lesson, Ss will be learning about how to use model verbs "can" and "could" in functional language.
To clarify meaning so learners understand that. To clarify the pronunciation so students know how to say it.
To provide controlled oral practice focused on using the target language accurately.
Lead-in (3-5 minutes) • To generate interest in the topic of the lesson.
Teacher asks students to remember what they learned in Ayse's lesson and will tell students that in this lesson they are going to continue talking about phone conversations. First, teacher will divide students into groups and then, using PPT teacher will show a slide with the next questions: 1. "Who do you normally speak to on the phone"? 2."When you speak to your friend on the phone, do you use the same language as you would with a doctor or a bank manager?" which will entice the students to form a group discussion. Teacher will give students a few minutes. While students are having discussions,Teacher will hover around the class room monitoring the students discussion.
Teacher will divide the students in to four groups. On the WB teacher will write 3- 4 different scenarios of two different people speaking on the phone. E.g. patient - doctor, student - teacher, two friends just starting a relationship. Teacher will ask students: How would you speak with a doctor? How would a teacher and a student speak on the phone? Teacher will give students few min. After that teacher will ask students about the most common word they used.
Presentation (10-15 minutes) • To clarify meaning so learners understand it. To clarify form, so the students know how to construct. To clarify pronunciation so students know how to say it.
Teacher will try to elicit the model verbs ""can"" and ""could"" asking: "How do you begin a question?" If the students don't know, then the teacher will tell the students that this is what they are going to learn in this lesson. How to form questions using "Modal Verbs". Teacher will write on the WB the questions: E.g. Can I ask your name please? Could you hold on please? Teacher will ask the students if they can see any difference between those two questions and try to find where the stress is in the sentence. After that, teacher will tell the students that the model verbs "can" and "could" are used in our daily life with phone conversations. We use those verbs as request. Teacher will write on the board the analyze form. modal verb + subject + main verb. This will help the Ss who need a better visual on how we form the questions. Teacher then asks Ss CCQs such as, where do you put the modal verb when forming a question? Do these questions ask in a form of request or offer? Can you use the modal verbs at the end of the question form? Afterwards, T will repeat the Modal verb questions and ask the Ss where the stress might be?
Practice (4-6 minutes) • To provide controlled oral practice focused on using the target language accurately.
Teacher displays the modal verb chart with the PPT slide on the board. T asks the students to look at the board and to find how many phone expressions can they make from the words displayed on the board. Teacher will divide the students into two groups, Pandas and Tigers. Pandas will form a circle and turn around to face outside the circle. Then tigers will circle around the pandas to become face to face with a partner. Teacher will give one minute to form phone expressions and partner answers them. then the teacher asks the Tigers to move one step to the left to make a new partner and then they have another minute to ask questions to each other. This continues for 5 minutes. Teacher will monitor and observe their pronunciation and provide immediate error correction when needed. This activity promotes confidence and reassurance to the students who might be struggling with forming questions. Peer work will help each other.
Production (9-12 minutes) • To provide freer oral practice and focused on using the target language more fluently.
Teacher will put the students in groups of Teachers and Students.The teacher gives the Students telephones and this time the teacher has them form lines and place the Teachers and Students back to back. Teachers and Students will then turn around and see their partner. Teacher asks the pairs to please find a place in the room to sit back to back and have a phone conversation with each other. Students will use the context of Teacher student relationship and have a phone conversation based on that. Teacher goes around monitoring and providing help when needed.

This Instagram Post Shows Menstrual Blood to Break Down Taboo
"I didn't post this to be controversial. I think it's the most mundane thing in the world."
Brittney McNamara
If you get a period, it's very likely you've woken up with some menstrual blood on your clothes and in your bed. It can be frustrating when you get blood all over your sheets, but menstruators know it's just a part of life. Still, like most things involving having a period, those bloodbath mornings are kept under wraps; unlike the seemingly idyllic, peaceful mornings people post about on Instagram, this particular experience isn't one you often find in your feed. Unless you follow Molly-Margaret Johnson, the person behind the Instagram account @whatswrongwithmyvagina.
After waking up and realizing she had gotten her period recently, Molly-Margaret posted a photo of her blood-covered thighs to her Instagram Story. She decided to post a photo of the experience, she said, because it was one she'd had countless times before, and thought her followers could relate.
"I woke up realizing I had gotten a raging period overnight. It was an experience I've had countless times, but not recently. I decided to document it so I could share the 'ugh — been there' feeling with my followers," Molly-Margaret told Teen Vogue. "I didn't post this to be controversial. I think it's the most mundane thing in the world."
Periods are pretty mundane. They happen monthly to much of the world's population, yet taboo and stigma surrounding menstruation is still pervasive. In posting a photo of her menstrual blood, Molly-Margaret addressed a fundamental part of why the subject continues to be stigmatized: "We never see it."
"It's replaced by blue goo in commercials and ads, and we're not out here comparing and contrasting our flow with other people with periods," she said. "It's all behind closed doors. It's the unknown."
Because periods stay so secret in most cases, taboo can thrive and extend beyond social stigma. Not having access to menstrual products can lead to people missing school or work, therefore missing out on opportunities. And in some places, extreme treatment and practices surrounding people who are menstruating can even lead to death. Molly-Margaret said she got some pushback for posting her menstrual blood, which she chalked up to a continuation of this stigma.
"A few people made comments that it was 'disgusting.' They were all made by other cisgender women," she said. "It doesn't make me feel self-conscious or angry at them. It makes me feel sad that we live in a universe where we are encouraged to be scared and disgusted by our own bodies, and the bodies of others."
And that's what she said she hopes her post calls out.
"I hope people remember we're all having the same experience, whether we talk about it or not," Molly-Margaret said. "Whether it be periods, sex, body issues — we're all going through it. It's a great disservice to not talk about it with each other, and I want to change that."

All eyes are on the Virginia race to see how well that philosophy does at the ballot box.
America's birthday
The gift most needed is an urgent warning about the dangers of losing the things that have made this country.
Birthdays are supposed to be times for celebration and gift-giving. But America's upcoming birthday on the Fourth of July is a time when the gift most needed is an urgent warning about the dangers of losing the things that have made this country America — and have long made "America" a ringing word of freedom, not only in this country but to people around the world.
All is not lost. But all could be lost — especially if too many of us take freedom for granted and focus our attention on other things, like electronic gadgets and the antics of celebrities, while ignoring such dangers as nuclear weapons in the hands of suicidal fanatics, with a track record of savagery, whom we are too squeamish to call anything stronger than "militants."
Nor are all the dangers abroad. Within our own country there are all too many signs of people blithely ready to sacrifice the interests or freedom of Americans for the sake of symbolism or passing fashions.
When a former Speaker of the House of Representatives announces that she is going down to our border to greet and welcome masses of people crossing that border illegally, you know that something is fundamentally wrong.
No one knows, or apparently cares, what diseases these floods of illegals are bringing into the country, including diseases that have been largely stamped out in the United States, and which American doctors have seldom seen enough to know how to spot them or treat them.
No one knows, or apparently cares, how many of these "children" include teenage criminal gangs to whom murder is no big deal. Worst of all, no one knows, or apparently cares, that the elected representatives of the American people were cut out of the loop when it came to making these decisions.
All that matters to people like Nancy Pelosi is the symbolism of welcoming the oppressed, especially if they represent more votes for Democrats, who will shower the taxpayers' money on them.
As if to make clear the elite's contempt for ordinary Americans' intelligence, President Obama tells us that the people crossing the border "love" America. How could he possibly know that, any more than he could know how to "invest" the taxpayers' money in "the industries of the future," which have in fact gone bankrupt?
What is involved are not just bad policy choices. What is involved are policies imposed unilaterally by the president, in defiance of Congress' authority to legislate and in contempt of the Constitution's separation of powers — on which all our freedoms ultimately depend.
The people who wrote the Constitution of the United States understood what dangers there are to the freedom of the people — and that freedom can be quietly eroded by degrees, rather than taken all at once.
Too many people today seem oblivious to such dangers. So what if the government used the muscle of the Internal Revenue Service to keep groups opposed to the Obama administration tied up in red tape or litigation in an election year? Enough games like that can make our elections meaningless.
This arrogant abuse of power does not end with the federal government. In Massachusetts, teenager Justina Pelletier was taken from her parents' custody and held virtually incommunicado for over a year, because her parents preferred to continue to have her treated as the physicians at a medical facility associated with Tufts University had treated her, even though shrinks at Children's Hospital in Boston said her problems were in her head, and took her off some of her medications.
This difference of opinion as to the best medical treatment for Justina Pelletier was enough to get a judge to side with headstrong bureaucrats and override her parents' rights. So a girl who was ice skating before ended up in a wheelchair under the "care" of shrinks.
Fortunately, enough media attention, especially by former governor Mike Huckabee on Fox News Channel, finally got this child freed. Perhaps we can hope that all is not lost — yet. But if this case is a symbol of Americans fighting back, it is also a symbol of why it is desperately important to fight back.
That spirit is the best birthday present for America.

Turkish NGO rescues 2 Czech women kidnapped by al-Qaeda in 2013
March 28 2015 13:44:00
VAN – Anadolu Agency

Two Czech women who were kidnapped by an al-Qaeda-linked armed group in Pakistan have been freed, after the Turkey-based Humanitarian Relief Foundation (İHH) worked to secure their release.
Antonie Chrastecka and Hana Humpalova, both 27, were in Pakistan as tourists on a world tour in 2013 when they were seized near Taftan by armed militants as they were crossing the border from Iran.
The two women finally arrived in the eastern Turkish province of Van late on March 27 after two months of "intense" talks, according to İzzet Şahin, the IHH official leading the negotiations with the women's kidnappers.
Şahin said the families of the victims contacted the İHH two months ago as a last resort after exhausting all other means to save the pair.
"We put into use every tool at our disposal to get them back. We delivered them to their families safely today," said Şahin, the head of the IHH's International Relations and Humanitarian Diplomacy department, in an interview with Anadolu Agency.
"Antonie and Hana were captives for two years, which were very difficult for them," he added.
Humpalova said they still do not know why they were taken. "It was very difficult. For the first time in our lives we saw weapons and armed men. We still do not know why we were taken. There were weapons being fired and bombs exploding all the time. But we got used to it after a while," she said.
"We had plenty of time to do a lot of thinking. We thought about our children and families and kept our hopes up that one day we would be rescued. Now, for the first time in two years we have saw the sun and smiling people around us," Humpalova added.
"I still can't believe I am here. Even now, I fear this is a dream," Chrastecka told Anadolu Agency, saying the worst part of her captivity was being away from her family.
"Being away from my family was really tough. From the first moment I was kidnapped, I wanted to be with them. I am so happy right now and so excited," Chrastecka said.
The two women and their families have now departed Turkey for the Czech Republic.
In videos previously released by the captors, the women read a request to release Aafia Siddiqui, a Pakistani neuroscientist serving a 86-year sentence in a U.S. prison. Islamic militants in Syria, Algeria, Afghanistan and Pakistan have made Siddiqui's release a condition for freeing certain foreign hostages.
The women were kidnapped by armed assailants who overpowered their bodyguard in March 2013 in Pakistan's western Baluchistan province, while travelling from Iran to India.
The İHH became better known in Turkey in May 2010 after it organized the "Gaza Freedom Flotilla" trying to break the Israeli blockade on the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip at the time. Israeli commandos killed eight Turkish nationals and an American of Turkish origin in a raid on the "Mavi Marmara," which was part of the flotilla. Another person on board at the time of the raid died in a Turkish hospital in 2014 after being in coma for almost four years.

Q: Save text as variable on class's instances pygame/ python I am trying to do a to-do list. That I can input text and the text stay there for the next time I open the app or until I change it. I figure that I should save the text in a .txt file but there are 16 instances/ input boxes. If I save the text in a txt file, how can I recall the text in order( like input_box1 = line 1, input_box2 = line 2). Or if I create a txt file for every instance, how can I put it in my class.

A: It's a personal preference but one file sounds more maintainable than 16 files.
I think you are looking for something like this to save the file:
with open("savefile.txt", "w") as savefile:
    for i in input_boxes:
        savefile.write(i.text + "\r\n")

And to read the file:
for line in open("savefile.txt", "r").readlines():
    #add text to input box

EU mulls new link between budget and civic rights
Updated: Tue, Jan 23, 2018
The EU`s justice commissioner is working on a proposal that could oblige member states such as Poland, which has clashed with Brussels over reforms to its courts, to pass tests on the independence of their judicial systems before receiving funding.
Vera Jourova said there was agreement within the executive European Commission to work on ideas to encourage strong judiciaries in planning for the new budget from 2021.
"One way could be to insist that independent justice systems are necessary for effective control of the use of EU funds," she said. "I would like to propose that link."
A Commission spokesman said on Monday the work by Jourova was part of broader preparations for a new, seven-year EU budget plan, due to be published in May, and was in line with policy outlines the EU executive has put forward since last year.
The remarks by Jourova, the Commission`s Czech member, come as the EU executive is challenging Poland, a major recipient of Union funds, to amend judicial reforms which Brussels says will hurt democracy and its oversight of EU trading rules.
Facing the prospect of filling a hole left in the budget by Britain`s exit from the EU, and irritated by Poland and other governments in the ex-communist east on a range of issues, some wealthy Western governments have pushed for a clearer link between getting subsidies and abiding by EU standards.
The German commissioner in charge of the budget, Guenther Oettinger, warned Poland this month that it could lose some of its 7 billion euros annual funding if it fails to heed Brussels` complaints about undermining the rule of law.
More broadly, Jourova is also hoping for a review of EU policy on judicial standards in the second half of this year. EU officials say that might, for example, include regular reviews of the performance of national justice systems, along the lines of existing biennial reviews of government economic policies, which are meant to promote "convergence" towards EU-wide goals.
As a former national official handling the regional funding that is a key part of EU efforts to bring poor regions closer to the prosperity of others, Jourova stressed that she saw any new rules applying to all EU funding for all states, not just to so-called "cohesion" policy. She also said it should not be seen as a punitive measure but designed to encourage good practice.
She also said discussion on the proposals could be used to help simplify some of the hurdles to applying for EU funds.
Any Commission proposal seen as too radical by governments risk being killed off by member states.

The information below and list of contacts are to help you start thinking about how you can tackle problems you are having with money and your rent.
most importantly, talk to your landlord - try to reach an agreement about paying off the arrears, but don't agree to pay more than you can afford. One way to do this is through an agreed debt management plan.
Sometimes, rent arrears arise as a result of problems with claiming and processing Housing Benefit and other entitlements. If your Housing Benefit hasn't been paid, contact your local council to find out what's happening. There could be a backlog, or the council might need more information to deal with your claim. Do seek advice from your landlord or an independent adviser who may be able to assist you with making a claim; incomplete paperwork will hold up your claims. Tell your landlord what's going on and keep any correspondence.
If you're on a low income, or having financial problems, check if you qualify for any benefits - such as Housing Benefit, Council Tax Benefit or tax credits. You don't have to be out of work to claim benefits and you could qualify for more than one.
Even if you already receive Housing Benefit, if it doesn't cover your rent you may be able to get some extra money - called 'discretionary housing payment'. Contact your local council to see if you qualify.
You should also consider seeking advice from a debt advice agency, which should be able to advise you on how to maximise your benefits and about any additional benefits you may be able to claim. They may also be able to assist you with filling out the forms and ensuring that any claims are not held up by incomplete paperwork.
Landlords usually have the right to seek a court order to evict you for rent arrears. In certain circumstances your landlord may be able to evict you without the need to obtain a court order first.
The rules about when and how a landlord may evict you for rent arrears differ according to the type of tenancy agreement you have.
The type of tenancy agreement you have will depend partly on who your landlord is. Ask the Housing Service at Surrey Heath for advice on the type of tenancy you have.
The Fact Sheets below and list of contacts are to help you start thinking about how you can tackle problems you are having with money and your mortgage.
Please use the contacts on Fact Sheet 9 and look at their websites for more advice and useful contacts.


The Bonus Ring is a special equippable accessory item that can be obtained in the Starbeans Cafe in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga and its remake. As with all special items obtained in there, Professor E. Gadd shows up to taste a new type of brew that has not been made before. E. Gadd leaves behind the Bonus Ring if this is the second time the player has brewed a unique type of coffee, after the Greed Wallet. If a brother equips the Bonus Ring, he earns an EXP bonus if he wins the battle without taking any damage. In the original game, the EXP he'll earn will be doubled, while in the remake, they'll receive an extra 20% of their total.
The item's sprite is based off the Supply Ring from the Star Fox series, since Fox McCloud originally was supposed to come to the Starbeans Cafe to taste the drink, and the item was originally called the Gold Ring. While Fox was replaced by E. Gadd and the item renamed to loosen connection with the character, the item's sprite was left intact.

Although federal funding for autism research fluctuated from fiscal years 2008 through 2012, it increased overall during this period, from approximately $169 million in fiscal year 2008 to $245 million in fiscal year 2012—about a 45 percent increase (about a 37 percent increase when adjusted for inflation to fiscal year 2012 dollars). Over this time period, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) consistently provided the majority of autism research funding—between about 76 and 83 percent of the total funding awarded each fiscal year. The highest funding levels were in fiscal years 2009 and 2010, in part, as a result of additional funds appropriated to NIH under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. While overall funding increased, federal funding varied by each of the seven research areas specified in the Interagency Autism Coordinating Committee's (IACC) strategic plan. These research areas are biology, treatments and interventions, causes, diagnosis, infrastructure and surveillance, services, and lifespan issues. The following figure shows the changes in funding by fiscal year for each of the seven research areas, as well as the overall average annual percent change in funding for each research area.

A Mag Story - The Haunted Flashlight
A MAG STORY Received 10/25/2020 - VIA MAG STORIES LINK
The Haunted Flashlight.
I am a 36 year old father of two and have been using Maglite since I was young. In of my earliest memories was exploring haunted graveyards and abandoned building when I was a kid. My mother was NYPD and had a 5 cell Maglite that I would use when I was exploring with friends. I had a bit of a ghost story tied to this flashlight and it still is cursed till this day. My mother's flashlight was with me one day when I was 16 and at the Monastery next to Wagner college in Staten Island. Me and a group of friends where walking through a dark hallway that lead into the sanctuary. When we entered the sanctuary there was a large pentagram in the center of the floor and groups of candles where lit at wash point. We where scared straight that night and it wasn't because the sight of the pentagram but the thought of the candles where just lit and the wax had just started to pool in the tops of the candles. Most of the group scurried away and made their way out the secret entrance but me and two friends couldn't resist the urge to see what was going on. The thing I loved about this Maglite flashlight is the weight that the lite had to it. Moms service flashlight has a solid steel frame and the 5 D-cell batteries lasted a long time. That flashlight was my saving grace that day because it protected my life from being attracted and light my way while I was exploring. So I'm guessing you wondering what happened that I think my flashlight is haunted and what I witnessed in that dark hallway and I would be happy to tell you I knew exactly what happened but it's to crazy to be real at least that's what I told me self for the past 20yrs. Me and two other people missed the exit it was a secret entrance the windows where all bricked shut and the entrance was completely blocked but for a narrow entrance in the foundation wall that fell a part and just wide enough to fit in and explore. There was absolutely not light in the building no matter what time of day and without a flashlight you couldn't see your hand in front of your face. It was extremely damp and the air was stuff from no air moving in or out. Well we waited silently at the end of the hall with the flashlights off staring at the glow at the end of the hall looking for some kind of movement or sound to indicate if there was someone else still in that sanctuary but nothing came so we went looking for the exit. This is when everything went wrong! The hallway got cold very cold cold enough to see the breath coming out of our mouths but it was summer and the night outside of that unholy building was hot and humid and no way did the temperature outside become that cold. This is when it happened something killed my flashlight. I said something for a reason because SOMETHING came from the dark end of that hallway letting out long screaming howling and surrounded us. I couldn't see anything because the flashlight was out and wouldn't turn on but I could feel it's presence. It was aggressive and screamed so loud that I was practically deaf. I started swinging my flashlight like a baseball bat and it cut through the air without making contact with this entity but it felt cold and wet. I scurried in the dark down that hallway feeling the walls for my friend or for the hole in the wall. The presence left us and carried on down the hallway towards the flickering candles screeching along the walls like nails on a chalkboard. The light came back on. We found the exit and made it to the cars. My best friend and now cousin through marriage my wife is his first cousin made it to his car and we booked it out of there. This may sound like a made up story and something from a kids horror story and I wish I was making it up but I'm not. About three years ago my cousin and I where working on his basement and he hired a carpenter to help him finish his basement project. So this guys name is Dave and he was a skilled union carpenter and I am a union electrician. A few days later me Dave and Glen started talking about the old days and Dave had an interesting story about his early years working in film and AV in high school. He told us a story of one day he was contacted by these two kids that claimed to be warlocks and could communicate with the dead and spiritual realm. I have always been skeptical about what happened to us that night 20 years ago and was never face to face with a force like that ever again but I can't deny that it happened because it did and what happened next made me a believer. Dave told us a story bout how he met with these two warlocks and he brought his cameras. He told us that they light candles and painted a pentagram on the floor. They chanted some lines from a book and that when Dave says things got real. They heard our group of friends coming in to the sanctuary and they hid from us. When I heard this I froze . Is it possible that he made contact with this thing that I was faced with 20 years ago? Sure enough he did and he added that the candles blew out and something entered the room screaming in his face! We exchanged accounts of what happened that night and long and behold my cousin Glen brought up the flashlight and how it cut out. This flashlight went everywhere with me back then and I forgot what happened to it. After some phone calls and a few trips down memory lane and long and behold the flashlight was with glens mom. She loved that flashlight for all the same reasons it was heavy and worked well but sometimes it would cut out. This is where I want to tell you that this story ends and the flashlight is great but I can't. It is cursed from that day and has been passed around the family several times and there's many horror stories attached to this flashlight. The flashlight was given back to me after my mother passed this year from 9/11 cancer in March 2020. My mother was supposed to retire from NYPD September 2001 and she stayed on for 6 more months to help with the tragic attack on NYC . This same flashlight I used in June 2001 was the same flashlight my mom used searching the debris. At first it was great to have my moms flashlight back I my possession no pun intended but things started happening after I got the flashlight back. My kids started having night terrors and waking up screaming. They said that someone was in their room and I didn't think it was related. I was in the shower after the wife and kids went to school and work and then something unexpected happened. The water was ice cold and the bathroom door opened and shut. I got out immediately got dressed and grabbed the flashlight. Yes ! The same one that we are talking about. I searched the house and called my cousin. With him on the phone I walked around inside and out and found nothing. More and more unexplained things happened until my wife asked me if I brought home something that was cursed. I didn't tell her about the flashlight it never even occurred to me that this whole story playing out the way it was until now. I started recalling all the times things happened and where the flashlight was and it was there every time. I put the flashlight in the tool box of my 2018 F150 pickup with 20k mile on it the truck broke down. The engine wouldn't turn over and ended up breaking down. The dealer says that the engine has to be rebuilt. "At the time of writing this the flashlight is still in the truck and the pictures on my walls are falling off the wall". This flashlight maybe cursed and this story is way more elaborate then what I have wrote and I feel this story is long enough. The flashlight may be cursed and strange thing are still happening but I can not get rid of it because it has been through it all with me and my family. I would love to know what you guys think about this story and my haunted mag light. I don't know what to do with it if it is haunted I'm afraid to pass to someone else because the curse may pass with it. Let me know

Working ourselves to death in the UK
Sarudzayi Chifamba
Nurse helping senior man with walker
It is estimated that Zimbabweans in the Diaspora remitted US$2,1 billion in 2012 and about US$1,8 billion in 2013.
Speaking about the need to introduce a Diaspora bond in 2014, the Finance Minister, Hon Patrick Chinamasa, said: "The full statistics on Diaspora remittances and other contributions have been difficult to verify due, in some cases, to the informal channels of remittances used. Many households survived on these remittances during the period 2002 to 2009."
However, he had no clue how people here in the Diaspora are slaving themselves, sometimes leading to lonely deaths, to raise the money to send to the extended family in Zimbabwe.
Recently, and here in the UK, we have heard of some incidents in which some Zimbabwean people, especially women, have collapsed and died. One of the incidents, circulating on social media and also reported in an online Zimbabwean newspaper Zim-Express, reported: "Zimbabwean woman has been found dead in London two months after relatives lost contact with her.The decomposing body of Sally Mpofu (29) was found by British cops in her house in Barking…"
According to the story, Sally had not been to Zimbabwe for nearly 19 years, and her mother, who lives in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe, raised an alarm after she had not heard from her daughter for two months.
"However, Sally did not respond to her texts or calls soon afterwards, prompting her to alert the other relatives here in the UK. According to her relatives in the UK, Sally had moved into new accommodation and had not had time to pass her new address details to the rest of the family. Relatives in the UK tried to contact her via the phone and after getting no response quickly alerted the police. Police investigations led them to Sally's new house in Barking on the 10th of December 2015 where they were faced with the decomposing body of the 29-year-old."
This is a very sad story. And it is becoming a common occurrence, not only to Zimbabweans in the UK, but to other Africans in the Diaspora.
It happened a few years ago to someone whom I was working with at a nursing home. I will not mention her name in respect of her family's privacy. She was from South Africa. This South African woman worked as a nurse at the nursing home where I was also working as a care assistant. She was loved by the company and management because she was always doing overtime, sometimes working more than six nights in a row.
If anyone called in sick, she would happily cover the shift.
That was despite the fact that she was living with her husband and two adult children, who were also working hence she did not need to give them any money.
But like most Africans, she was working to send money to relatives back home, South Africa in her case.
One day she went home after a night shift, the fifth night duty worked in a row. She was due for another night shift that night, to make them six nights in a row, because she was covering someone's shift, who had called in sick the night before.
Our South African colleague went to bed to sleep that morning, but never woke up again.
She had been dead for hours before her husband found out. Because she hadn't reported for work at 8pm, one of the staff on duty began to ring her mobile and house number. That was when the husband found out. She had died in her sleep.
After that incident, I told myself I was not going to work like a donkey to support people back home.
The relatives who ask for money, gadgets or this and that, will always be there. It is a matter of setting priorities and recognising that you cannot live in two countries at the same time.
Although these untimely deaths could be caused by other factors, such as heart failure or other underlying causes, many people here in the Diaspora are not putting their own health first. Their motivation to work is driven by the demands for money from relatives back home.
Sally Mpofu's case is an unfortunate one, especially if it is true that her mother in Zimbabwe was the one to raise an alarm. Did she not have close friends? May her dear soul rest in peace.
But her death also shows the spirit of individualism that is affecting many Zimbabweans here in the UK. We have lost our spirit of living as a community. It's 'each man for himself and God for us all'.
Life in the Diaspora, especially in the UK, is very difficult and expensive. Unlike many people in Zimbabwe who own their own houses, most people here are either paying mortgages or renting from private landlords or the Councils.
Of course it's good to look after our relatives in need, but that should not come at the expense of our lives.

Critics fear widespread damage from Trump 'public charge' rule
by Nathaniel Weixel - 08/24/19 8:28 AM ET
Experts are warning that the Trump administration's "public charge" rule linking immigrants' legal status to their use of public benefits will have far reaching impacts on health care coverage as well as the country's safety net.
The final rule, which was announced earlier this month and is set to take effect Oct. 15, targets immigrants trying to enter the United States or those already living here who are trying to obtain a green card.
Under the rule, any immigrant who receives at least one designated public benefit for more than 12 months within any 36-month period will be considered a "public charge" and will be more likely to be denied a green card by immigration officials.{mosads}
The rule could dramatically limit the number of people using social safety net programs.
Health and immigration experts and activists said the final rule will have a chilling effect even on people who aren't directly affected and could discourage permanent residents and even U.S. citizens from renewing or applying for benefits they are entitled to.
"The targets of the public charge rule and who it impacts are different," said Sara McTarnaghan, a researcher at the Urban Institute. "Due to fear, or misinformation about what may be in the final rule, immigrant households may change their decisions about public benefits."
An Urban Institute study released in May found that 14.7 percent of adults in families where all noncitizen members had green cards reported that they declined to enroll in some sort of public benefit such as Medicaid or food stamps for fear of risking future green card status.
The same study found that 9.3 percent of people in families where all foreign-born members were naturalized citizens also declined to participate in either Medicaid, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) or the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) — even though the final rule doesn't apply to CHIP.
The new rule is intended to make it more difficult for immigrants who came to the country legally to stay as permanent residents if they ever have used, or are seen as likely to use, public benefits such as food stamps, Section 8 housing vouchers or Medicaid.
The administration has previously targeted a wide swath of public programs as part of welfare reform.
Critics argue the public charge rule, though, skews the debate over broader public assistance programs to lower support for the otherwise popular programs.
Democrats have slammed the policy as a cruel attack on low-income immigrants.
"The rule will force hundreds of thousands of immigrants to choose between forgoing basic assistance for food, shelter and health care or risk being separated from their families," House Education and Labor Committee Chairman Bobby Scott (D-Va) said in a statement.
Conservatives tout the rule as a way to lower taxpayer spending.
"These programs are a major source of our trillion-dollar budget deficits and the increase in our public debt. Why would we want to bring in immigrants who will only add to that deficit and that debt?" Heritage Foundation analysts Hans von Spakovsky and David Inserra wrote in a blog post.
And during a news conference to announce the rule, acting Director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services Ken Cuccinelli described the rule as a means to ensure immigrants are self-sufficient.
"Self-sufficiency has been a central part of the American value set for so long. … That's part of the motivation for a rule like this," Cucinelli said.
Cucinelli said information about who is impacted by the rule is clear and easy to find.
"Anyone who has any question about whether the receipt of a particular benefit would be considered … will be able to easily find that from our website," Cucinelli said during the White House briefing.
The rule explicitly does not apply to U.S. citizens, even if the citizen is related to an immigrant who would be subjected to the requirements. It also explicitly exempts immigrants who have been granted asylum, lawful permanent residents and refugees.
But experts said that even though only a small number of immigrants use public benefits, the true impact of the rule will be much broader.
Most legal immigrants are ineligible for SNAP and Medicaid until after they get a green card. Even then, they must complete a five-year waiting period.
"The implication of the [administration's] rhetoric is there are huge groups of people taking advantage of the system, and that's just not true," said Elaine Waxman, a senior fellow at the Urban Institute.
"We do see already that application rates are failing and for programs like CHIP, where we know kids aren't affected, but we can appreciate how an immigrant family would err on the side of being very, very conservative," Waxman said.
Jerry Vitti, founder and CEO of Healthcare Financial, Inc., which connects vulnerable populations with public benefit programs, said misinformation can play a major role in people declining to renew their Medicaid or SNAP enrollment.
People in immigrant communities "don't know that [attorney generals] are filing suit [to challenge the rule]. They don't know there's a bill in Congress to [strip] resources to implement the policy," said Vitti.
"They know what they hear on the street, and … they don't get right info, and they default to the most fearful information," he added.

Life continued to get better and better during week three. My energy level rose and was maintained throughout the day. I was about 90% free of arthritis pain. With pain and fatigue subsiding, it was amazing how much clearer and quicker my mind functioned.
The chest pains that sent me reeling and into the ER were very reminiscent of last year's months-long bout with pericarditis. This time it all went away in a few days and has not returned at all. Was it this new diet that kept that pain from reoccurring? I'll never know for sure, but I can't imagine that it doesn't get any of the credit.
At the time I started this diet, and my article, 5 Things People Wouldn't Guess About Life with My Disease was published by The Mighty*, I had decided that I would revamp this blog site, as I'd been thinking of doing for some months now. I also started formulating and preparing to create a new coaching business.
I decided that the blog and the coaching would be an excellent way for me to get back into working. I could be in control of how fast or how slow it is grown. If I was feeling relatively well, I could take on more clients and write more articles/posts. If I was having a hard time, I could slow down on my writing and taper off clients.
From the second the words came out of his mouth I knew he was 100% correct. I should and I could solve this issue, not just for me, but for the thousands of others following this diet. And from that moment forward I have been working towards making that solution become a reality.
I can't wait to share this vision and this solution with everyone. As soon as the time is right, it will launch and be announced in as many places as I can manage**. Stay tuned for more info, but I can tell you that I am so very excited and passionate about what is to come.
This blog and the coaching will not be left behind. This new AIP venture will be in addition to the other things, not in place of them. And if it wasn't for the AIP diet, I never would have had the energy and clarity of mind to even attempt to pull this off.
** To be the first to find out about the new AIP venture, be sure to sign up for the newsletter and/or follow me on your social media platform of choice.


According to Forrester, 72% of customers prefer using a company's Website to answer their questions. But only 52.4% find the information they need online. Customers want to solve their issues quickly and easily on the Web. When they can, they are likely to buy more, with 88% saying they will increase their spending.
In order to investigate these trends and more, The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) formed an independent steering committee of customer service experts to help define what customer service means in practice and to advise on a survey of 832 companies in Europe, North America and Asia, which was conducted at the end of 2013. The EIU also interviewed both independent experts and customer service specialists at corporations in four industry sectors: retail, natural resources, financial services, and technology, media and telecommunications (TMT). The connection between good customer service and financial performance was then analysed by comparing survey respondents' ratings of their own service with independently verified financial results.

Thirty case studies taken from the 11 most-relevant research papers on the costs of employee turnover demonstrate that it costs businesses about one-fifth of a worker's salary to replace that worker. For businesses that experience high levels of turnover, this can add up to represent significant costs that can potentially be avoided by implementing workplace flexibility and earned sick days at little or no cost at all.

Joan Miró ranks to the most famous personalities of the inter-war painting avant-garde. Born in Spain, he lived and worked in Paris. Although his oeuvre was influenced by Fauvism and Cubism, Miró himself eventually arrived at a specific form of Geometric Abstraction which he also used to transform from a flat painting to the form of three-dimensional objects. After the First World War, he joined the Surrealist movement. Significant part of his oeuvre is extensive graphic work.
