Q: Changing image in child component will update higher most html img tag in parent component Video
I made a short 15 second Youtube video demonstrating the bug since its rather hard to explain here is video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YXykw2oSh8E  --- please ignore my terrible editing skills
Short Summary
I will summarize the error here: If I have two image tags and I am trying to change the image of the lower one that is located lower in the html file, the image on the higher most img tag will be changed as opposed to the one I selected even though the logic is in a seperate component instance
Code layout
In my code I have two <app-image-display> components stacked on top of one another. When I try to update the image of the one with the name of coverPhoto it will update the image in the one named profile. If I move the coverPhoto named instance higher in the html file than profile named instance and try to change profile it will update coverPhoto.
Parent
I have a parent component that looks like this:
....

    <app-image-display name="profile" id="profile" #profile [image]="company.profileUrl" [uploadPath]='companyProfilePath' (imageUpdated)="updateImage($event, CompanyImage.PROFILE)"></app-image-display>

    <app-image-display name="coverPhoto" id="coverPhoto" #coverPhoto [image]="company.coverPhotoUrl" [uploadPath]='companyCoverPath' (imageUpdated)="updateImage($event, CompanyImage.COVER_PHOTO_URL)"></app-image-display>

.....

You can see it contains two separate instances of the same component called ImageDisplay. One of the instances is designed to handle a profile image and the other a cover photo. I put in temporary logic to show me which on is the cover photo just to be explicit as seen in the video. This component is designed to show the use the previously saved image then allow them to view a new image (tempImage) before saving it to the db. The ImageDisplayComponent looks like the following:
Image Display Html

Cover Image
<app-image-picker *ngIf="!percentage" (imageSelected)="imageSelected($event) (tempImageSelected)="tempSelected($event)"></app-image-picker>

Image Display TS
And the .ts looks like this:
...
export class ImageDisplayComponent implements OnInit {
  @Output() imageUpdated: EventEmitter<string> = new EventEmitter();
  @Input() image: string = '';
  @Input() uploadPath: string
  tempImage: string;
  percentage: Observable<number>;
  selectedPictureFile: File;
  task: AngularFireUploadTask;

  constructor(
    private dbs: AngularFireStorage,
    private toastService: ToastService
  ) { }

  ngOnInit(): void {
    console.log(this.uploadPath)
  }

  imageSelected(image: File) {
    this.selectedPictureFile = image;
    this.fileUpload(this.uploadPath, this.selectedPictureFile);
  }

  async fileUpload(path: string, file: File): Promise<void> {
    const ref = this.dbs.ref(path);
    this.task = this.dbs.upload(path, file);
    this.percentage = this.task.percentageChanges();
    let imageUrl = '';
    from(this.task).pipe(
      switchMap(() => ref.getDownloadURL()),
      map((img) => imageUrl = img),
      finalize(() => delete this.percentage)
    ).subscribe(() => {
      this.imageUpdated.emit(imageUrl)
    },(error) => {
      this.toastService.show(`${error.message}`, {
        delay: 3000,
        autohide: true
      });
    });
  }

  tempSelected(imageUrl: string) {
    this.tempImage = imageUrl;
  }
}
...

ImagePickerComponent Html
app-image-picker looks like the following:

   {{labelText}}

<input type="file" id="file-upload" (change)="onPictureSelected($event)" accept=".png, .jpg">

    <button *ngIf="pictureSelected" class="btn btn-info m-1" [disabled]="!pictureSelected" (click)="uploadPicture()">
        Save
    </button>
    <button *ngIf="pictureSelected" class="btn btn-warn m-1" [disabled]="!pictureSelected" (click)="cancel()">
        Cancel
    </button>

ImagePickerComponent TS
This is what the onPictureSelected function looks like:
// image selection and verification.
  onPictureSelected(event) {
    this.selectedPictureFile = event.target.files[0] as File;
    const reader = new FileReader();
    reader.readAsDataURL(this.selectedPictureFile);
    if (!this.imageService.isImage(this.selectedPictureFile.name)) {
      this.pictureSelected = false;
    } else if (!this.imageService.isAllowedSize(this.selectedPictureFile.size)) {
      this.pictureSelected = false;
    } else {
      // tslint:disable-next-line:no-shadowed-variable
      reader.onloadend = (event: any) => {
        if (event.target) {
          this.selectedPictureURL = event.target.result;
          this.tempImageSelected.emit(this.selectedPictureURL);
        }
      };
      this.pictureSelected = true;
    }
  }

I am on Angular version 9.0.3

Гименофилловые () — семейство папоротников одноимённого монотипного порядка (Hymenophyllales) класса Папоротниковые (Polypodiopsida). Насчитывают около 600 видов, распространённых практически по всему миру.

Ботаническое описание

Многолетние травянистые растения. Корневища нежные, ползучие или частично прямостоячие, с протостелой. В молодом возрасте листья скручены. Кожистые папоротники получили свое название потому, что их листовая пластинка, кроме жилок, имеет толщину всего в один клеточный слой. Поэтому стомы отсутствуют, а кутикула обычно не развита. Листья гименофилловых лишены устьиц и абсолютно проницаемы для воды.

Другой характерной особенностью является расположение спорангиев, которые всегда расположены на краю листа (маргинальные), а не на нижней или верхней поверхности листа, как у большинства других папоротников. Споры имеют зелёный цвет.

Проталлии всегда лентовидные и однослойные, у многих видов даже разветвлённые нитевидные структуры, напоминающие протонему мхов. В этом отношении представители гименофилловых также отличаются от других папоротников.

Число хромосом может быть x = 11, 12, 18, 28, 32, 33, 34 или 36.

Распространение и экология

В основном встречаются в тропических дождевых лесах. Произрастают как на земле так и эпифитно. В Центральной Европе есть только два вида, которые очень редко встречаются в районах с относительно высоким уровнем осадков во влажных местах. Trichomanes speciosum произрастает в очень бедных светом, глубоких, влажных расщелинах скал из кремнистой породы. Trichomanes speciosum встречается на юге Нижней Саксонии.

Систематика
Семейство было впервые описано в 1835 году Карлом Фридрихом Филиппом фон Марциусом в книге «Conspectus Regni Vegetabilis Secundum Characteres Morphologicas …, 3 aufgestellt».

Семейство Hymenophyllaceae монофилетическое, разделяется на две основные клады — трихоманоиды и гименофиллоиды, примерно соответствующие двум крупнейшим родам.

Виды семейства Hymenophyllaceae произрастают в умеренных, субтропических и тропических районах Старого и Нового Света. В Китае насчитывается семь родов с примерно 50 видами, 6 из них эндемики. В Северной и Центральной Европе встречаются только два вида семейства Hymenophyllaceae:

 Hymenophyllum tunbrigense (L.) Smith: встречается в Центральной Европе только на Британских островах, в Эльзасе, Люксембурге.
 Trichomanes speciosum Willd.: встречается в Германии только в виде относительно малозаметного гаметофита водорослей.

В семействе насчитывается около девяти родов и примерно 600 видов.

По состоянию на октябрь 2019 года разделение семейства на роды было спорным. Традиционно признавались только два рода Hymenophyllaceae: (1) Hymenophyllum с двустворчатыми эвольвентами и (2) Trichomanes s.l. с трубчатыми эвольвентами. Последующие классификации предлагали 34 рода (Copeland 1938), 6 родов (Morton 1968), 47 родов (Sermolli 1977) и 8 родов (Iwatsuki 1984). Все эти классификации имели лишь ограниченное региональное признание. Недавние молекулярно-филогенетические исследования действительно показывают два отдельных монофилетических клада довольно одинакового размера, но они лишь приблизительно соответствуют двум традиционным родам. Например, было показано, что традиционные Trichomanes subtaxa Pleuromanes и Cardiomanes принадлежат к «гименофиллоидной» кладе. Чтобы отразить эти последние открытия, Ацуши Эбихара и Кунио Ивацуки в 2006 году пересмотрели таксономию Hymenophyllaceae, поместив все виды «гименофиллоидной» клады в один род Hymenophyllum, а восемь чётких «трихоманоидных» субкладов — в восемь соответствующих родов.

Prevent Alzheimer's Disease
Alzheimer's Disease A Prion Disease
Caregivers, Family Members, Others At Risk
Neurodegenerative disease is the fastest-growing cause of death around the world. It will soon be the leading cause of death. Scientists have finally confirmed that Alzheimer's disease and other forms of neurodegenerative disease are forms of prion disease, which means that they are highly infectious. Caregivers, family members and billions of innocent people are caught in the crossfire of this explosive epidemic. It's even killing wildlife. Victims are prion incubators and prion distributors. Prions kill with unparalleled efficiency. The epidemic has been building for decades. So has the denial.
Alzheimer's disease alone is taking the lives of 50-100 million people around the world now. Millions will die of the disease this year, while even more will be diagnosed, misdiagnosed and undiagnosed. The epidemic is more severe in some countries than others. Sick mammals are serving as proverbial canaries in a coalmine, but we are ignoring the bodies of evidence—millions of infectious bodies.
Prion disease often is described as a wasting disease that causes a loss of body mass and brain mass. Alzheimer's disease alone is taking the lives of 50-100 million people around the world now. Millions will die of the disease this year, while many millions more will be diagnosed, misdiagnosed and undiagnosed. The epidemic is more severe in some countries than others.
Despite millions of deaths annually, experts suggest that the prevalence of Alzheimer's disease will quadruple by 2050, if not sooner. Unfortunately, there is a growing stack of evidence that Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and other brain diseases are transmissible. Deadly, self-replicating proteins appear to be one of the common threads. Abnormal proteins appear to be related to the global autism epidemic.
Prions (PREE-ons) are a deadly and unstoppable form of protein that migrates, mutates, multiplies and kills. Prions cause fatal neurodegenerative disease in humans and other mammals by converting the cellular version of prion protein into a toxic form of prion that erodes the brain and body. It's comparable to the way cancer cells develop and spread, except that deadly prions are indestructible pathogens.
Dr. Stanley Prusiner, an American neuroscientist from the University of California at San Francisco, earned a Nobel Prize in 1997 for discovering and characterizing prions and prion disease. President Obama awarded Prusiner the National Medal of Science in 2010 to recognize the importance of his research. Important reforms to policies to protect public health, however, have been elusive.
According to Prusiner, Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease are both forms of prion disease. Millions of these victims are walking and talking time bombs. They transmit prions everywhere they go and everywhere that their bodily fluids go. Recycling the modern sewage stream back into our food and water supplies is blowing up in our faces.
"Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common neurodegenerative disease in humans and will pose a considerable challenge to healthcare systems in the coming years," Prusiner said.
Prusiner's most recent study confirms that Alzheimer's disease is a prion disease, which means that millions of people with Alzheimer's disease (and millions who died ahead of them) are highly infectious. They permanently contaminate the world around them with deadly prions.
Prion disease also is known as transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (TSE). The operative word is "transmissible." The unfortunate word is "unstoppable."
Victims become prion incubators and distributors. So do wastewater treatment plants. Despite all of the smoke and mirrors, prion disease is prion disease. It's killing more and more mammals, including humans, every year. The misinformation and mismanagement are extreme.
Thanks to reckless policies hacked together by the U.S. EPA, we are dumping tons of infectious waste (sewage sludge and biosolids) from people with prion disease on open ground, including farms, ranches, golf courses, parks, school grounds and sports fields. Wastewater treatment companies are even dumping this toxic waste in our forests and on public lands. It's contaminating food, water and air. It's killing wildlife. In other mammals, it's called different things, but prion disease has been found in camels, dolphins, elephants, mink, cats and many other species. Deer, elk, moose and other mammals are actually getting prion disease from humans when we dump sewage sludge and biosolids on open ground. When we reclaim wastewater, we are spreading prion disease to man and beast. It's insane to think that there is a species barrier to prion disease.
As such, the epidemic that is striking humans and wildlife are connected. Livestock aren't immune from prion exposure, but industry and government have led us to believe that testing for mad cow disease (prion disease) isn't necessary. Such a stance further underscores the negligence and incompetence of those who produce and regulate our food supplies.
Regardless of the species impacted, prion disease causes memory loss, impaired coordination, abnormal movements and overall wasting of the mind and body. Victims should be quarantined because prions are in the urine, feces, blood, saliva, mucus, skin and cell tissue of all victims–all human byproducts that are washed, dumped, or flushed down sinks and toilets. One can assume that the waste is extra infectious when it comes from funeral homes, nursing homes, hospitals, dental offices, veterinarians, slaughterhouses and some laboratories.
Alzheimer's disease is currently defined based on the presence of toxic protein aggregations in the brain known as amyloid plaques and tau tangles, accompanied by cognitive decline and dementia.
But attempts to treat the disease by clearing out these proteins have been unsuccessful. The new evidence that active Aß and tau prions could be driving the disease – published May 1, 2019 in Science Translational Medicine — could lead researchers to explore new therapies that focus on prions directly. Hopefully, it will lead to many reforms to safeguard public health.
"I believe this shows beyond a shadow of a doubt that amyloid beta and tau are both prions, and that Alzheimer's disease is a double-prion disorder in which these two rogue proteins together destroy the brain," said Stanley Prusiner, MD, the study's senior author and director of the UCSF Institute for Neurodegenerative Diseases, part of the UCSF Weill Institute for Neurosciences.
Unfortunately, the CDC quietly took prions off the highly regulated list of select agents because the regulation criminalized entire industries and several reckless practices. It also opened the floodgates to prion mismanagement.
Wastewater treatment plants are collecting points for prions from infected humans (skin, urine, feces, blood and bodily tissue). The sewage treatment process can't stop prions from migrating, mutating and multiplying before being discharged into the environment where they can kill again. Wastewater treatment plants are spreading infectious waste far and wide because they are incapable of stopping prions. As such, all by-products and discharges from wastewater treatment plants are infectious waste, which are contributing to the global epidemic of neurodegenerative disease among humans, wildlife and livestock.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has confirmed that prions are in sewage and that there has been no way to detect them or stop them. As such, the EPA has never issued guidance on prion management within wastewater treatment plants. Unfortunately, the EPA's risk assessment on sewage sludge (biosolids) was prepared before the world of science knew about prions. The agency continues to cling to its antiquated sludge rule crafted back in the dark ages. It does, however, consider prions a "emerging contaminant of concern." Meanwhile, its outdated risk assessments are promoting a public health disaster. The neurotoxins found in sewage, including heavy metals, also are contributing to the global spike in autism, which follows the same timing and trajectory as the spike in neurodegenerative diseases.
"Since it's unlikely that the sewage treatment process can effectively stop prions, adopting measures to prevent the entry of prions into the sewer system is advisable," said the Toronto Department of Health, November 2004.
Once unleashed on the environment, prions remain infectious. They migrate, mutate and multiply as they infect crops, water supplies, wildlife, livestock, sea mammals and humans. According to prion researcher Joel Pedersen at the University of Wisconsin, prions in soil become up to 680 times more infectious. From there, they migrate, mutate and multiply. It's a real world version of Pandora's Lunchbox.
"Our results suggest that if prions enter municipal wastewater treatment systems, most of the agent would bond to sewage sludge, survive anaerobic digestion, and be present in treated biosolids," Pedersen said. "Land application of biosolids containing prions represents a route for their unintentional introduction into the environment. Our results emphasize the importance of keeping prions out of municipal wastewater treatment systems."
Pedersen also found that sewage treatment does not inactivate prions. Therefore, prions are lethal, mutating, migrating and multiplying everywhere sewage (biosolids) is dumped.
Prions could end up in sewage treatment plants via slaughterhouses, hospitals, dental offices and mortuaries just to name a few of the pathways. The disposal of sludge represents the greatest risk of spreading prion contamination in the environment. Plus, we know that pathogens, pharmaceutical residue and chemical pollutants found in sewage sludge are taken up by plants and vegetables."
Unfortunately, prions linger in the environment, homes, hospitals, nursing homes, dental offices and beyond infinitely. Prions defy all attempts at sterilization and inactivation.
The risk assessments prepared by the U.S. EPA for wastewater treatment and sewage sludge are flawed and current practices of recycling this infectious waste is fueling a public health disaster. Many risks are not addressed, including prions. They don't mention prions or radiation because there is no answer. Most nations are making the same mistake. We're dumping killer proteins on crops, parks, golf courses, gardens, ski areas, school grounds and beyond. Wind, rain and irrigation spread these contaminants and many more throughout our communities and watersheds. It's fuel
Crops for humans and livestock grown in sewage sludge absorb prions and other neurotoxins. They become infectious. We're all vulnerable to neurotoxins right now due to widespread denial and mismanagement.
It's time to rethink Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, autism, chronic wasting disease and mad cow disease. Answers begin with the truth. It's time to stop the land application of sewage sludge and biosolids in all nations. Safer alternatives exist. It's time for reform on many levels to contain the prion epidemic.

Gary Chandler is a prion expert. He is the CEO of Crossbow Communications, author of several books and producer of documentaries about health and environmental issues around the world. Chandler is connecting the dots to the global surge in neurodegenerative disease, including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, chronic wasting disease and other forms of prion disease. The scientific name for prion disease is transmissible spongiform encephalopathy. The operative word is "transmissible." Even the global surge in autism appears to be related.

Corporate & Securities Law/
What happens to a law firm's work after the firm dies?
Larry Ribstein — 7 November 2011
Today's WSJ covers the Howrey bankruptcy and specifically the ex-partners' and their new firms' potential liabilities for unfinished business taken from Howrey.
As the article says, Howrey's bankruptcy trustee, the custodian of its claims under state law, "has the right to sue for profits generated by work that partners started at their old law firms and took to their new positions, such as continuing cases." The defendants can include the new firms the partners joined, including Dewey & LeBoeuf, Baker Botts and Arent Fox, which "may have the deepest pockets."
This may be Howrey's most important asset because, according to the old saw the article quotes, a law firm's "most valuable assets of a law firm go home every night."
A similar fight is happening over the remains of Heller Erhman. The article says that the defendant law firms in the Heller case are "arguing that clients have a right to take their business where they choose."
Of course that's true, but it doesn't end the legal complications. As discussed in The Source, §7.08(e) (footnotes omitted):
All of the partners of the dissolved firm, however, are generally entitled to share in fees for pre-dissolution work-in-process paid after dissolution to the dissolved partnership or to withdrawing partners, even if the client has exercised a right to discharge the attorney or attorneys who are sharing in the fees.* * *
Moreover, depending on the applicable law, the partner or firm completing the case may not be entitled to extra compensation for completing the case. Rather, the case is treated as an asset of the prior firm and shared among the partners of that firm on the same basis that they shared fees while the firm was still alive. As discussed in Bromberg & Ribstein, this reflects the difficulty of figuring out an alternative basis for dividing the free, the assumption that the partnership continues on the pre-dissolution basis until winding up is completed, and the need to encourage partners to stay with the firm. Of course there are strong policy arguments on the other side: giving partners freedom to move and the risks to the client if the lawyer isn't paid for extra work.
But note that these are only default rules. Thus, my book notes (footnotes omitted):
The partners can and should anticipate the above problems in their agreement. The partners should be careful to define the situations in which the work-in-process provision applies.
Often, however, there is no clear agreement, and the lawyers and their lawyers are left to hash out the issues at substantial cost.
I have two questions:
Would it really be so bad if the practice of law were put on sounder financial footing by permitting non-lawyer capital? These bankruptcies illustrate the instability and insubstantiality of these weak cooperatives we call "firms." See Death of Big Law. The dissolutions are likely to increase as Big Law devolves, and clients are caught in the middle.
Why aren't these matters dealt with more definitively in agreements among lawyers who write agreements for others for a living?

I agree that the partners can and should anticipate the above problems in their agreement and that the partners should be careful to define the situations in which the work-in-process provision applies. However it's a case to case basis and requires foresight in knowing which areas to detail. They may have never anticipated what happened so that they didn't clear out which areas needed to be cleared out.
Edwin Reeser 7 November 2011 at 6:54 am
Jerry Kowalski has really put his finger on the pulse of this issue. The law firm LLP structure that is favored by so many practices, is still a General Partnership under the UPA or RUPA as adopted in many states. This establishes a fiduciary duty upon all of the partners to the partnership to be accountable for the assets of the estate (whether that be a desk, a practice treatise, or "unfinished business") for the fair value of what they have taken. The consideration for those assets goes into the "bucket" of assets of the firm that are applied to the creditors first, then to the partners in accord with the partnership agreement's distribution provisions were the partnership ongoing. The problem is there are rarely going to be assets sufficient to pay the claims of creditors in full when the large firms fail, so all of these moniesgo to creditors.
If one takes about thirty seconds to reflect, the partners in a general partnership, where ever they go, would have this liability follow them. It isn't a restraint on their right to practice, but the consequences of participating in a bad business arrangement. It is a legal obligation to pay their contractually incurred debts. It is terrible, but it is what the state of the law for general partnerships, all general partnerships, has been for a very long time. The partners have to pay the obligations one way or another in the general partnership, so paying for it with income earned from the cases taken was pretty much a given. And if that was not enough then everything else one earned income from as well.
The shock that is coming to the forefront is that many law firm partners have had a misperception of what the Limited Liability Partnership election actually means to them in the law firm meltdown scenario.
A conundrum is that if a "Jewel waiver" is adopted by an LLP, and far enough in advance of a firm failure to not become characterized as a voidable preference, it could actually hasten the demise of the law firm by facilitating a rush to the door by partners who can quantify the economic decision in their personal best interest with lessened personal consequences. On the other hand, to apply an identical formula for measuring the price of assets taken in a voluntary departure that is not involving a firm failure….is unproven as enforceable because of the restriction on practice issue. In the law firm failure scenario that argument of restriction on mobility has not carried the day when balanced against the obligation to pay one's debts to creditors. So what's the difference….why should it be allowed in the failure of a firm, but not in a voluntary departure, if the partners have agreed and it is less of a burden than in the failure of a firm? Hard situation.
And if a firm does have the ability to restrict the exposure of the partners by adopting an effective "Jewel waiver", would not the creditors, especially the lenders and landlords, then insist on partner guarantees to cover the now avoidable "clawback" tools that protect to a limited degree the creditors in a bankruptcy? Otherwise, the scope of credit law firms should recive to operate their businsess as currently done would be reduced almost to zero.

Since 1988, when Finley Kumble filed for bankruptcy protection, some 32 major law firms have failed. In each of those cases, liabilities far exceeded assets and in most of these cases, partners of the defunct firm wound up paying money back to the bankrupt estate. I do not know of a single instance where partners of a defunct firm received any money from the liquidation process.
The long term ramifications of a law firm failure go much deeper than the clawbacks of the "unfinished business" doctrine. They also include clawbacks sought from partners by a trustee or a liquidation for compensation paid to partners during the period the law firm was found to be insolvent. In addition, law firm partners not only face a loss of their capital accounts, but in addition, recognition of phantom income as capital accounts are zeroed out as well as in some instances, forgiveness of debt. Added to this financial quagmire is the reputational issue: Clients asking "how can I trust you to guide me in managing my business, when you couldn't manage yours." A more in depth look at the issues can be found at http://kowalskiandassociatesblog.com/2011/02/03/the-financial-and-legal-consequences-of-a-law-firm-dissolution-on-the-partners-of-the-defunct-firm/
In a number of cases, law firms tried to resolve the "unfinished business" (also known as "Jewel v Boxer") issues by drafting provisions in their partnership agreements waiving the "Jewel v Boxer" rules. Every court that has addressed these provisions, particularly Judge Dennis Montali of the Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of California (who is presiding over Howrey, Heller Ehrmann and Thelen) have found these provisions void as constituting a preference.
We have very recently seen a slight reverse trend: Some law firms have included a provision in their partnership agreements which requires a departing partner to refund 10 to 20% of fees he or she earns from clients he or she has taken with him or her which had been clients of the law firm over a stipulated period of years. These clauses are very new and have not been tested in any court. These clauses pose a separate set of issues since, if they are indeed enforceable, they severely restrict partner mobility. It is that unintended consequence which will inevitably test the viability of the provision, particularly since Jewel v Boxer claims only arise in the context of a firm dissolution.

I wanted to say I am sorry. I have been hiding a part of myself from you. You see, I have this great purpose inside of me that has been longing to be shared for 20 years now. I have been sharing more and more of this purpose with you over the years but it has scared me to fully expose my heart and show you the full truth of what it is.
I have realised that what I am scared of is the depth of my love, the depth of my ability to love and how vulnerable an experience this is for me. I have hidden this powerful love behind a lot of pain, sadness and fear.
My purpose, what I have came here to share with you and the world, is intensely vulnerable. It feels very unsafe to share the depth of this vulnerability. My inner child feels like sharing the depth of my heart and Soul could mean the end of the world. A wee bit dramatic but this is how my inner child feels! So this vulnerable part of me retreats and recoils which means I only share a fraction of the truth of who I am with the world.
People can feel this. They can feel that there is something not aligned, something not fully truthful, something not fully honest going on, but they won't necessarily be able to put their finger on exactly what that is.
A few of my soul sisters that know me very well brought this protection pattern of mine to my attention. There is a disconnect between the truth of who I am, who they know as the real me and what I am sharing publicly for others to see. Hearing this was a bit of a surprise as I always aim to be as authentic and open as possible but I also knew that there was truth in what my sisters were saying. I could feel this heavy weight over my heart that was still protecting me and covering up my light.
My soul's purpose has been guiding me powerfully to take massive action, to come out of hiding and show up even more. There has been a lot of growth his year, but there is still a push/pull. An aspect of my purpose says 'Get out there and shine!' but there is an equally strong pull that is terrified of what will happen if I do.
My heart wishes to shower all of humanity with transformational love and consciousness. My vulnerable heart wants to shine like the sun and be received. My vulnerable self wishes to be loved and accepted for who I truly am. What happens if I share the depth of my heart, if I show up in that full vulnerability and I get criticised, attacked, rejected or ridiculed?
When the truth of who I am isn't received, when it is rejected or judged, this feels very painful. The thing is, when you experience rejection or criticism from another person, what's really going on is that you are experiencing the other person's pain, fear, mistrust, anger. Their wounds are projected outwards onto you which is why for an empath or highly sensitive person it is extraordinarily uncomfortable. So when I am receiving someone's judgement or rejection, I feel all of their pain as if it's within me and that really hurts. Because of this I still carry protection around with me, hiding my heart, even after years of working with this pattern.
Showing up fully in my truth, sharing my vulnerable heart, sometimes feels too hard and yet in order to serve fully, in order to share the fullness of my purpose and gift with the world, it's time to move beyond that place of protection.
So I want to apologise to you for hiding my heart and for not fully sharing myself with you. I never intended to do that, I have always intended to share the fullness of myself with you. But this protection pattern is still here and I am lovingly exposing it to you in order to transform it and to invite you to do the same. It is my intention to show up even more, to shine even brighter, to share the fullness of my being with you and trust that if that resonates with you then you will feel safer to share your great gifts with the world.
This journey to embodying your purpose and showing up in the full truth of who you are is intense. I know why you hide, because I too have been hiding. I have the deepest compassion for your hiding and your blocks and barriers, your fears and doubts. Its not easy showing up fully. This is part of the challenge of this journey and the thing that makes this journey so interesting, how we push and pull between the light of our soul and the protection of our ego.
I would like to invite you to rise up with me and shine even brighter together, to have that courage to share even more of who you are with the world. Sometimes truth is fierce. The truth is not always soft, pretty and gentle. Transformation can be like volcanos, earth quakes and tsunamis. Your truth doesn't have to be all pretty, gentle, love and light all of the time.
Sisters and brothers, it's time to rise up, it's time to come out from behind the shadow and come out into the sunlight. It's time to dance and play in this world, even if it this world feels hostile or unsafe sometimes, even if there are miserable people out there.
I believe we are here to start a new paradigm party, creating a new paradigm of being on this planet. Not everyone is going to choose this party. You need to follow what is true for you and welcome in all of those beautiful souls who are vibrating on your frequency to come and play with you. Call them in.
I am so glad to be sharing this journey with you.
Awesome read! Lovely to hear you speak from this place. I know there are many out there including me who need to take that step! I just loved your post! Look forward to taking that journey with you too!


November 6, 2018. ABC Columbia.
Columbia, S.C. (WOLO) – On Monday, the Midlands Organized Response for Equity and Justice, also known as MORE Justice, held its second annual community problems assembly.
The assembly brought more than 400 people of faith together to reaffirm their commitment to do justice and discuss problems within the community.
The top problems the group found in the community are eldercare, crime and gun violence and housing.
MORE Justice is dedicated to seeking justice for all residents of the Central Midlands area by holding systems accountable to fair practices and policies.
Tuesday night [Oct. 30] was the 13th Annual Assembly of the Interfaith Movement Promoting Action by Congregations Together, or IMPACT for short. And the focus of the faith community yesterday was: affordable housing. WMRA's Marguerite Gallorini attended the assembly at the First Presbyterian Church in downtown Charlottesville.
Twenty-six local congregations came together yesterday under the banner of IMPACT, to tackle the issue of affordable housing in Charlottesville. Rev. Albert Connette, from Olivet Presbyterian Church, is a member of IMPACT's housing research team.
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (WVIR) – Members of the faith community are coming together to discuss the affordable housing crisis with Charlottesville's city manager and some Albemarle County supervisors.
People from 26 congregations across central Virginia gathered on Tuesday, October 30, as part of the efforts of Interfaith Movement Promoting Action by Congregations Together (IMPACT) to address concerns regarding affordable housing in the community.


Examines eight Jewish-American writers--Meyer Levin, Leon Uris, Saul Bellow, Hugh Nissenson, Chaim Potok, Philip Roth, Anne Roiphe, and Tova Reich--who have "imagined" Israel in their work.
Analyzing a wide array of Jewish-American fiction on Israel, Andrew Furman explores the evolving relationship between the Israeli and American Jew. He devotes individual chapters to eight Jewish-American writers who have "imagined" Israel substantially in one of more of their works. In doing so, he gauges the impact of the Jewish state in forging the identity of the American Jewish community and the vision of the Jewish-American writer.
Furman devotes individual chapters to Meyer Levin, Leon Uris, Saul Bellow, Hugh Nissenson, Chaim Potok, Philip Roth, Anne Roiphe, and Tova Reich. To chart the evolution of the Jewish-American relationship with Israel from pre-statehood until the present, he considers works from 1928 to 1995, examining them in their historical and political contexts. The writers Furman examines address the central issues which have linked and divided the American and Israeli Jewish communities: the role of Israel as both safe haven and spiritual core for Jews everywhere pitted against its secularism, militarism, and entrenched sexism.
While the writers Furman examines depict contrasting images of the Middle East, the very persistence of Israel in occupying that imagination reveals, above all, how prominent a role Israel played and continues to play in shaping the Jewish-American identity.
Andrew Furman is Assistant Professor in the Department of English and Comparative Literature at Florida Atlantic University.

Anand's Story
Anand joined Watsi on May 10th, 2014. 60 other people also joined Watsi on that day! Anand's most recent donation supported Ethan, a toddler from Kenya, to fund hernia surgery.
Anand has funded healthcare for 93 patients in 12 countries.
All patients funded by Anand
Ethan is a toddler from Kenya. He has had inguinal hernia. Fortunately, on May 23, he will undergo repair surgery at our medical partner's care center. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation, is requesting $423 to fund Ethan's surgery. Once completed, this procedure will hopefully allow him to live more comfortably. "My child is in much anguish. We cannot raise the needed funds and I am therefore requesting for your assistance," says Ethan's mother.
Keom Sieng is a five-year-old boy from Cambodia. He has one sister, and enjoys playing soccer with his friends. One month ago, Keom Sieng developed a chalazion in his right eye, causing him obstructed vision and irritation. A chalazion is an inflamed cyst in a patient's tear gland. He is unable to see clearly and experiences a loss of confidence. Keom Sieng traveled for half an hour to seek treatment from our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre. On July 8, surgeons will remove the cyst through a chalazion excision procedure. After recovery, Keom Sieng's symptoms should improve. He needs help raising $175 to fund this procedure. His mother says, "I hope that after surgery, I will no longer have to worry about my son's condition and he will look better."
Cherenet is a toddler from Ethiopia. He loves to play and laugh with kids in his age. His mom is a single mother. Cherenet was diagnosed with cryptorchidism, a condition in which one or both of the testicles remains undescended. If left untreated, Cherenet has an increased risk of developing hernias, testicular cancer, and fertility problems in the future. Cherenet will be receiving assistance from our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation (AMHF). Fortunately, he is scheduled to undergo corrective surgery on May 2. AMHF is requesting $1,021 to cover the total cost of his procedure and care. His mothers says, "All I want is for him to be cured. I hope my child will get the treatment and be healed."
Long is a sixth grade student from Cambodia. He likes to paint and play soccer, and his favorite subject in school is Khmer literature. When he was five, Long had an ear infection. This infection caused the tympanic membrane, or the ear drum, in his left ear to perforate. For this reason, Long experiences discharge, tinnitus, and hearing loss. Long has a difficult time communicating with other and has a hard time focusing in school. Long traveled to our medical partner's care center to receive treatment. On June 12, he will undergo a myringoplasty procedure in his left ear. During this procedure, surgeons will close the perforation. Our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, is requesting $423 to fund this procedure. This covers medications, supplies, and inpatient care. His mother says, "I hope that after his surgery, I won't have to worry anymore about my son's hearing loss or ear condition."
Raksa is a three-year-old boy from Cambodia. He is the youngest of three siblings, and likes to play with his toy cars. Since birth, Raksa developed a cataract in his right eye, causing him blurry vision. He has difficulty seeing things clearly, recognizing faces, and going anywhere outside. When Raksa learned about our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, he traveled for one and a half hours seeking treatment. On May 6, doctors will perform lensectomy and an intraocular lens implant in his right eye. After recovery, he will be able to see clearly. Now, he needs help to fund this $211 procedure. His mother says, "I hope that after surgery, my son will be able to see clearly and I won't worry about his vision."

Asaba is a baby from Uganda. He is the youngest of seven children. Since birth, Asaba has had an inguinal hernia. This hernia causes him pain and discomfort. If not treated, the hernia may result in intestinal tissue damage and death. Fortunately, on March 13, he will undergo hernia repair surgery at our medical partner's care center. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation, is requesting $249 to fund Asaba's surgery. Once completed, this procedure will hopefully allow him to live more comfortably and confidently. His mother says, "After surgery my son will have peace and stop crying."
Zar is 23-year-old woman from Burma. She works as a seamstress at a shop. Zar was born with an abnormal growth located between her eyes. In early 2019, Zar noticed that her mass has become bigger that it almost covers her nose. Moreover, it destructs her right eyesight. Doctors want Zar to undergo a CT scan, a procedure in which x-ray images taken from several angles are combined to produce cross-sectional images of the body. This scan will hopefully help doctors diagnose her condition and formulate an appropriate treatment plan. Our medical partner, Burma Children Medical Fund, is requesting $469 to cover the cost of Zar's CT scan and care, scheduled for February 27.
Srey Nith is a 15-year-old aspiring dancer from Cambodia. She has six sisters and likes to watch TV and relax. When she was nine, Srey Nith had an ear infection. This infection caused the tympanic membrane, or the ear drum, in her left ear to perforate. For this reason, Srey Nith experiences tinnitus, hearing loss, and ear discharge. She has difficulty going about her daily tasks and no longer goes to school. Srey Nith traveled to our medical partner's care center to receive treatment. On February 7, she will undergo a myringoplasty procedure in her left ear. During this procedure, surgeons will close the perforation. Our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, is requesting $423 to fund this procedure. This covers medications, supplies, and inpatient care. Her mother says, "I hope that after surgery, my daughter will feel better and will be very happy."

Billie Eilish said her hair is a sign of 'mental stability' after fans mocked her for keeping it green for so long
12/23/2020 Comments Off on Billie Eilish said her hair is a sign of 'mental stability' after fans mocked her for keeping it green for so long
Billie Eilish responded to fans making fun of her green hair by jokingly threatening not to put out the new album she is currently working on.
Eilish commented on one of her Instagram posts: "This is the longest I've had the same hair color since I was 13 & that's on mental stability and growth leave me alone lsjdkksjdjs"
However, Eilish also said that she is planning on changing her hair color when her Apple TV documentary, "The World's a Little Blurry," is released in February 2021: "It'll be the end of an era, I'ma give you a new era."
Visit Insider's homepage for more stories.
Billie Eilish responded to fans telling her to get a new hair color in a series of Instagram comments and stories.
The singer's green roots are an iconic part of her look, and she's worn the color for a while now, but fans have persistently teased her about her green hair. One fan commented on one of her Instagram posts, writing that her "grass head needs a new color." They suggested black.
But Eilish responded by writing: "It's called not being depressed anymore pls just be happy for me."
The "Bad Guy" singer also commented: "This is the longest I've had the same hair color since I was 13 & that's on mental stability and growth leave me alone lsjdkksjdjs"
Taking the jests in good spirit, however, Eilish took to her Instagram stories to properly and humorously address being teased about her green hair.
"F— you guys. Stop making fun of me, oh my god! I'm f—ing making you an album! I will not put it out if you keep making fun of my hair. Shut up," Eilish said.
But Eilish also revealed that despite this being the longest she's ever had one hair color, the green roots won't be around forever.
Eilish continued: "I'm changing it after the doc comes out. It'll be the end of an era, I'ma give you a new era… I have announcements to make, I got some shit to put out."
For now, Eilish jokingly asked fans to "shut the f— up" about her hair: "Leave me alone, let me live with my f—ing hair that I've had for way too long, okay?"
The doc Eilish referenced is the Apple TV documentary coming out in February 2021 that follows her life while she creates her debut album, "When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?" The documentary, titled "Billie Eilish: The World's a Little Blurry" is helmed by Emmy award-winning documentarian R.J. Cutler and will also feature Eilish' brother, Finneas O'Connell.
It remains to be seen what hair color Eilish will switch to but she has previously sported various shades of black, blue, purple, and grey.

Cleveland Browns Odds Drop in Wild Surd Game After Head Coach Kevin Stefanski Tests Positive for COVID-19
By John Reger on January 5, 2021 2 min read
News of Cleveland head coach Kevin Stefanski, and several other Browns personnel testing positive for COVID-19 sent the odds for the team's Wild Surd game against Pittsburgh spiraling. The Browns opened as 3.5-point favorites, but dropped to six points by Tuesday, and was even at 6.5 at Station Susinos. The over/under of 47 points remained unchanged.

Cleveland made the playoffs for the first time since 2002, but Stefanski will not be on the sidelines. The team said that tight ends coach Drew Petzing and defensive backs coach Jeff Howard also tested positive. All three will miss the game.
"Our contingency planning calls for special teams coordinator Mike Priefer to serve as the acting head coach," the team said in a statement. "The team will continue to consult with the league and medical experts to determine the appropriate next steps as the health and safety of our players, coaches, staff and the entire community remains our highest priority."
Two players, guard Joel Bitonio and wide receiver KhaDarel Hodge were placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list. The list is for players that have either tested positive or who has been put in quarantine. Teams are not allowed to disclose players' medical status.
Tall Task Just Got Taller
The Browns defeated Pittsburgh in the final game of the regular season on Sunday, 24-22. The Steelers rested all of their starters for the game, including quarterback Ben Roethlisberger.
When the two teams met earlier in the year at Pittsburgh, the Steelers dominated them, 38-7. The Browns have not beaten their AFC North Division rival on the road in 17 years.
On Monday, Stefanski met with the media and told them the Wild Surd game would be far different than the team's home victory on Sunday.
"I think we expected it to look different with the change in quarterback, and we expect it to look different again this week," Stefanski said. "That is part of their job is to play to their players' strengths. We understand that may change. It is our job to put ourselves in their building, think like them and try and get a feel for what they may do this week.
Will Player's Absence Affect Team?
The two players on the Reserve/Covid list were not starters. Bitonio had played in 12 games, however. Hodge had played in nine games, with 11 catches for 180 yards and no touchdowns.
The loss of those two affects the depth at each position. It should not have a huge bearing on the outcome. Pittsburgh head coach Mike Tomlin said to reporters he sympathizes with the Browns and their plight.
"Every morning at 6 a.m. I am looking at my phone waiting for verification of the previous day's test results," Tomlin said. "Are we in the clear, or are we not, and what necessary adjustments need to be made. What investigations, if any, need to be made. That has been our life, and not only ours in Pittsburgh, but ours collectively as members of the National Football League since July. There are daily reminders."

This chapter reports on our performance for 2016–17 using the framework in both the 2016–17 ACCC Portfolio Budget Statements (PBS) (contained in the Treasury portfolio PBS) and the ACCC and AER Corporate Plan 2016–17. The ACCC and the AER jointly report against one outcome, with the ACCC reporting against Program 1.1 and the AER against Program 1.2, as shown in table 3.1.
Lawful competition, consumer protection, and regulated national infrastructure markets and services through regulation. These include enforcement, education, price monitoring and deciding access terms to infrastructure services.
Competitive markets increase the prosperity and welfare of Australian consumers. Our role is to protect, strengthen and supplement the way competition works in Australian markets and industries to improve the efficiency of the economy and to increase the welfare of Australians.
This means we will take action where it improves consumer welfare, protects competition or stops conduct that is anti-competitive or harmful to consumers, and where it promotes the proper functioning of Australian markets.
The AER is the national energy market regulator. The AER's roles encompass the retail and wholesale electricity and gas markets and energy network infrastructure.
The objectives of the national energy legislation guide the AER's priorities and work program. The common objective through the legislation is to promote efficient investment in, and efficient operation and use of, energy services for the long-term interests of end users of energy with respect to price, quality, safety, reliability and security.
Note: This purpose from the 2016–17 Corporate Plan is consistent with the objective in the 2016–17 PBS.
promote efficient investment in, and efficient operation and use of, energy services for the long-term interests of consumers with respect to price, quality, safety, reliability and security (Strategy 4).
some highlights that demonstrate how our performance in a specific area contributes to our strategy and thus to achieving our purpose.
This Annual Performance Statement separately covers Program 1.1 (ACCC) and Program 1.2 (AER). The performance reporting sections for each program are organised according to the strategies and deliverables outlined above.
other work we do that promotes and enhances competition.
For Strategy 2 our reporting aligns directly with the four deliverables under this strategy.
For Strategy 3 our reporting is organised by industry, noting the deliverables as they apply.
For Strategy 4 our reporting aligns directly with the three deliverables under this strategy.
outline the factors that affected our performance during the reporting period.
We have also provided an 'Analysis of performance' section for each strategy where we discuss our work in more detail, including examples that demonstrate how we carry out the strategies to achieve our purpose.
Figure 3.1 provides a guide to the structure of the Annual Performance Statement.
6. Regulators actively contribute to the continuous improvement of regulatory frameworks.
These KPIs are concerned with how regulators administer regulation, with the aim of encouraging regulators to undertake their functions with the minimum impact necessary to achieve regulatory objectives. The framework does not seek to measure the performance of the ACCC in relation to the outcomes we achieve for Australian consumers and the economy.
The ACCC's self-assessment drew heavily on the results of a survey of over 1000 of the ACCC's business stakeholders conducted independently by market research firm ORC International. Results of the survey were published in conjunction with the ACCC's self-assessment. We also relied on other evidence, such as quantitative performance data and descriptive information that provides stakeholders with a greater appreciation of the systems and processes the ACCC has in place to support our engagement with businesses.
The draft self-assessment report was reviewed and externally validated by the ACCC Performance Consultative Committee, which comprises 15 business, legal and consumer representatives who collectively cover the broad range of stakeholders that the ACCC engages with in undertaking its various functions.
The 2015–16 self-assessment found that the ACCC is generally achieving the six KPIs to a satisfactory or good standard across the entire organisation. However, we identified various areas where our performance could be improved and have implemented a range of strategies to enhance how we engage with regulated businesses and other stakeholders. This will contribute to minimising the burden imposed on businesses from regulation while still achieving our purpose of improving the welfare of all Australians by making markets work for consumers.
The ACCC's self-assessment for 2016–17 will be published in November 2017.
I, as the accountable authority of the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission, present the 2016–17 financial year annual performance statements of the ACCC, as required under paragraph 39(1)(a) of the Public Governance, Performance and Accountability Act 2013 (PGPA Act). In my opinion, these annual performance statements are based on properly maintained records, accurately reflect the performance of the entity in the reporting period, and comply with ss. 39(2) of the PGPA Act.

Cleanin' up Castleton
October 23, 2013 12:00 am by Andrew Cremmins Views: 3
Beer cans, broken glass bottles, and a half eaten grease covered slice of pepperoni pizza are what you might find on the lawns of Castleton residents' homes after a weekend of "extracurricular activities".
Residents of the town say they do not find these attractions too desirable and it has actually caused tension between the students and community members living outside the college.
In attempts to create community sustainability as well as mend some tension between students and members living outside the college Castleton's Chemistry professor Andrew Vermilyea and Assistant Dean for Campus Life Victoria Angis established the "Adopt A Street" program through First-Year-Seminar.
"I think it's a good idea because college kids make such a mess from parties," said FYS leader Allie Dwinell.
Out of the 20 groups comprising FYS, four were selected at random. The FYS leaders, who are also students, were in charge of taking their individual groups around the town to assigned streets where they picked up any trash along the road or on lawns.
"Castleton isn't always seen in the best eye of the community, so it's good to give back" said senior FYS leader Josh Fosgate.
To engage more with the community they also went door-to-door asking residents if there was any work that they could help them with. Students would also leave them contact information in their mailboxes in case they weren't home or had work the students could later on do.
Aug. 24 was the first trial run in which students said they enjoyed it but claimed there wasn't much trash to pick up. The second and final attempt of the semester will be sometime in Nov.
"Wasn't much to pick up, but was still cool," said freshman Isaiah Pearson.
Though they didn't have much work to do the students involved had no complaints.
"They liked it better than going around the school getting all the recycling," said Dwinell.
The future of the program could continue to grow. However, there are some obstacles they must overcome, including developing a relationship and communication lines with the town, Vermilyea said.

It's an extremely appealing treatment option, and we're thrilled that so many of our patients have been able to take advantage of it.

Now they're able to get the smiles they've always wanted with the best deals on Invisalign in West Palm Beach!
Many of our patients have seen the Invisalign ads online, on TV, or even on billboards. They come in to our office, assuming that the treatment is going to be far more expensive than a traditional approach. They end up pleasantly surprised when they find out that we really do offer the best deals on Invisalign in West Palm Beach. The Invisalign treatment ends up being far more affordable than they had assumed! In fact, the difference in price between traditional braces and Invisalign is almost negligible. So before you assume that Invisalign is out of your budget, come and check out the prices at Family Orthodontics.
We're so excited about all the benefits that Invisalign offers. This is a brilliant solution for personalized, simplified orthodontic care. Rather than clunky braces, patients wear clear plastic trays, or "aligners" that are custom made for their specific needs. An Invisalign patient undergoes a special examination, including a variety of careful studies. With the results of this exam, Dr. Danny will develop a treatment plan that is used to make a series of aligners for that patient.
This custom approach, combined with the invisibility and removability of the aligners makes this the most convenient solution for orthodontic treatment. Cleaning is easier, eating is easier, and patients are far more comfortable. So what are you waiting for? Come and check out the best deals on Invisalign in West Palm Beach! Call us at 561-762-6200 to schedule a free consult with Dr. Danny.

A Flash Of Brightness: Mark Morriss' Favourite Albums
Wesley Doyle , February 25th, 2014 11:03
Following the release of his new solo album, the ex-Bluetone talks Wesley Doyle through his top 13 records
"I really struggled with this list," says former Bluetone Mark Morriss. "Anyone who knows me would say there's a few glaring omissions: The Stone Roses, Pet Shop Boys, The Smiths; but they've all been talked about until the cows came home so I wanted to include records that still have things to be said about them."
Since The Bluetones split in 2011, the self-titled "tidiest man in pop" has carved out a career that could see him claim the sobriquet 'hardest working' too. Part-troubadour, part-stand up comedian, he clocked up over a hundred gigs last year and is well on the way to doing the same in 2014. His new album, A Flash Of Darkness, which was originally funded through PledgeMusic gets a full release this week on Acid Jazz. His most accomplished album to date, it shows a range of influences as wide as the artists in his Baker's Dozen and continues a mining of the seam of melancholy and melody that set The Bluetones apart from their peers.
"I started writing in earnest for this record about three years ago," he says. "Songs like 'Space Cadet' and the title track came out of a little project I did with Matt Berry called The Swedish Twins, as did the idea of covering The Shins' 'Pink Bullets'. I like sticking a couple of covers on a record, there's kind of something a bit old fashioned about it. I've also done a version of Kavinsky's 'Nightcall', which since has been covered by some hot, hip act. I was there first though!"
In addition to his never-ending acoustic tour, Morriss will be playing some full band shows to promote the album and fans of his previous incarnation will recognise a few of the faces backing him. His immediate concerns though are negotiating a conveyor belt of Japanese food and talking us through his Baker's Dozen.
"I don't listen to anything ironically," he says, "I either like it or I don't. I was very much a pop kid and these are all albums that I became obsessed with at some point. It wasn't until I went back and listened to them again did I realise they all share a key element of an individual pursuing a singular vision, often to the detriment of the commercial aspects of their career. I do think the world sometimes gets offended by people who have the chutzpah to say, 'I'm going to do something completely different and I'm going to do it by myself too.'"
A Flash of Darkness is out now via Acid Jazz Records. Mark plays a sold-out date at The Admiral in Glasgow on Friday, February 28, followed by the Electric Circus in Edinburgh on Saturday and then touring; head to his website for full details and tickets.

Place chicken in a single layer in a 13x9-in. baking dish. Sprinkle with pepper. Combine the soup, soup mix, sour cream, lemon juice, dill and mushrooms; pour over chicken. Sprinkle with paprika.
Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 1 hour or until chicken is tender. Serve over egg noodles if desired.

This was really good! I made it exactly as written. I generally don't cook with soup, but when I was needing a quick dinner that I just wanted to throw in the oven, this jumped out at me. The chicken was moist, and the sauce was delicious. I'll definitely make it again.
Very good! I used chicken breasts. I was out of mushrooms, but I made this anyway. It was delicious. The sauce is excellent, and the chicken very moist. I will definitely make this again.
So delicious, was a hit. Tender and very flavorful . Wouldn't change a thing so easy to put together. I served it over egg noodles and peas on the side. Will be making this again.
Also an all time favourite of mine. I use chicken breasts and serve with mashed potatoes. It is a very easy weekday meal that uses ingredients I always have on hand.
Lots of the readers work full time and appreciate any time saving steps in recipes. This is not a gourmet recipe site but a home cooked meals site. Our moms used soups to flavor meals. As my mother said if you don't have anything nice to say dont say anything at all!My family really enjoy the taste and I appreciate getting to eat something that tastes great before 9 PM!!!
I accidentally forgot to put the sour cream in it and everyone still loved it. in fact they said the next time i make it not to put the sour cream in cause it might mess with the taste they like! also i didnt use egg noodles...i made rice and green beans instead. tasted great!
This is one of our all time favorite recipes from Taste of Home. On those cool fall/winter days the most delicious aroma fills the kitchen and everyone is eagerly awaiting supper time. There is no hesitation serving this to important dinner guests as it always gets rave reviews and they want the recipe. I know when I warm up the leftovers in the staff lunch room - everyone comes in wanting to know what smells so good and could they please have the recipe. This dish reminds me of a chicken recipe that my grandma made - we loved it!!!
Next time I'll use half an envelope of onion soup mix and more dill weed so it's less salty and more "dilly". I liked the color that the paprika added.
Wow..this was like chicken stroganoff...Yummy & flavorful! Super easy because I had everything on hand and takes zero time to prepare. I used cream of mushroom with garlic for the soup and doubled the amount of mushrooms. One thing I would change is the amount of sauce, it was delicious, so it could have used almost double. Which is what I will do the next time I make this...it's a keeper!


Have you ever found yourself in a restroom with no soap to wash your hands? These easy, homemade travel soaps are the answer to this problem!
Cut your soap base into chunks and melt in the microwave for 30-second increments until fully melted.
Add your fragrance oil if desired and mix thoroughly. Recommended usage is about ¼ to ½ ounce of fragrance oil per pound of soap base.
Add your colorant if desired and mix thoroughly.
Monitor the temperature of your soap base, stirring occasionally, until the soap has reached a temperature of about 130-140 degrees F. It is important to pour below 140 degrees F. or the heat can melt or even warp the plastic molds.
When the soap is at the appropriate temperature, carefully pour into the tart molds and allow to cool completely.
Store the soap in a purse or bag with the lid closed. When ready to use, pop out of the mold and break off a piece to use. To re-use each piece, dry it off and place back inside of its cavity.

All the leftover turkey bones and skin, all leftover vegetables and leftover sauces, gravies.
• 3-4 bay leaves, 12 peppercorns, about 3-4 whole cloves, two blades of mace (if you have it), some parsley and thyme or a bouquet garnish.
All quantities are approximate. Use as large a saucepan as you have. I always do this on St Stephen's Day as the fresh Turkey makes the best soup.
Trim off any pieces of meat from the carcass and keep for using in other recipes and in the soup.
Break up the carcass and bones into pieces small enough to fit into a large saucepan.
Add in any leftover skin, gravy, stuffing or giblets. If you have a ham bone add this in as well.
Wash and roughly cut up the raw vegetables.
Don't boil the carcass but keep it at a simmer, just barely bubbling as this makes a nicer stock.
If you boil it will become cloudy.
Simmer for 3-4 hours making sure that it never boils dry and that all the ingredients are covered with fluid.
Strain the liquid through a fine sieve while still hot. Leave the stock in the fridge overnight to allow any fat to harden.
Remove the fat (good for using to make roast potatoes!).
add to the stock any leftover cooked vegetables, pieces of turkey and ham, a tablespoon of dried soup mix (the mixture of lentils, split peas and pearl barley), some chopped mixed herbs such as parsley, thyme, sage.
If you don't have any leftover veg, chop a mixture of root veggies up into small cubes or use a frozen mix, plus a few peas.
Add in some leftover cranberry sauce and bread sauce and some stuffing - if you have some.
Bring to a simmer for about 20 minutes to half an hour. Season with salt and pepper. Serve with fresh bread after a long post Christmas walk or a day at the races.
You could also add in some rice or noodles instead or as well as the soup mix.
A dash of curry powder or chillies gives it a nice kick.


Lawmakers are calling on the House of Representatives to conduct an investigation into reports that accredited airport taxi companies at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport have been overcharging passengers.
Cagayan de Oro Representative Rufus Rodriguez and Abante Mindanao Representative Maximo Rodriguez have called on the House Committee on Transportation to summon representatives from the Manila International Airport Authority, Department of Transportation and Communications, and the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board to resolve the issue.
According to Rodriguez, ordinary taxis in Manila charge a flag down rate of P40 plus an additional P3.50 for each additional 300 meters. However, yellow metered airport taxis charge a P70 flag down rate plus P4 for every 300 meters. "These yellow taxis are taking advantage of this and are even charging passengers for fixed rates without using their meters," said Rodriguez.
Rodriguez added that passengers are being forced to take these yellow taxis along with their higher rates due to an alleged verbal policy at NAIA Terminal 3 that prevents passengers from flagging down regular cabs at the airport's departure level. Passengers are being advised to line up for the queue of yellow taxis.
The lawmakers also said that arriving passengers are being blocked by security personnel and barriers that have been put in place at NAIA Terminal 3 to prevent passengers from exiting through the departure area to look for regular metered taxis. This has resulted in a number of incidents where passengers have claimed being overcharged. In one report, Rodriguez noted that a passenger had been charged P620 from the airport to the Mall of Asia after being presented a laminated piece of paper with fixed rates.
"There is a need to address this situation as these unscrupulous taxi drivers that operate in international airports can give the country a bad name as soon as visitors step into the Philippines," said Rodriguez.
It's the same old story about these unscrupulous taxi drivers overcharging passengers at NAIA. Remember these operators are well connected and untouchables. As to the bad image it gives to the country, what better way to describe NAIA as "Worst Airport in the World" and that includes taxi services operating at the international airport.
I fly into T3 all the time and I don't have problems with the yellow taxis trying to rip me off. The real problem right now is that there are not enough yellow taxis. They are allowed to charge more than standard taxis in order to incentivise them to go to the airport and help with passenger congestion. This is the case at most airports in the world and I have no problem with it.
What I DO have a problem with is getting out of the airport interior and seeing a line of people 100 deep and no yellow taxis coming. What's WORSE is I then try to get the standard coupon taxi and they are sold out too (happened once recently at T1 and once at T2). It's then that the REAL vultures come out, the "rental cars". This is 1500 pesos to Makati.
But when you are sitting there after a long trip and just want to get to your destination it's gotta be done.
It's a pretty confronting and scary sight once you come out of NAIA terminals with all the vultures and hoodlums ready to attack and devour their would be victims-nationals and tourists alike.NAIA is deserving of the title "Worst Airport in the World" which solely belongs to them and only to them.
Terminal 1 yellow taxis do overcharge the passengers. When i took the yellow taxi in Terminal 3 going to Makati, it cost me 300 Pesos but when i took yellow taxi in Terminal 1 they charged me 800+ which is absurd (but i did not pay the actual amount because i know that it is a lie). When taking the ordinary taxi from Makati to airport, it cost me less than 200 Pesos.
Never had a problem taking the yellow taxis for 4 years until this trip, terminal 3 to QC and he charged me 750 and did not want to turn on the meter. But it was very late at night and I was too tired, just wanted to get home. Very annoying.
NAIA is known as one of the worst airports in the world, which is quite justified. A lot of money is being spent on improving T1 and T3 is relatively new, but it is not just about buildings. The problem is the quality of service provided and the lack of management interest in providing good service and stamping out corrupt and dishonest practices. Fixed rate taxis could not flout the pricing rules as they do without someone in authority knowing and allowing it. It could easily be stopped if there was a will to do so but clearly it is to the benefit of someone to let it happen.
There were never such problems when Singapore airlines flew into T1. There were always plenty of yellow taxis and even at T2 one rarely had to wait, so what is the problem at T3?
This is yet another reason why NAIA justly deserves to be labelled as one of the world's worst airports.
Tourists arrive only to be ripped off of have to wait hours for a taxi. which does little to support the "more fun in the Philippines" slogan and certainly leaves a very bad impression.
Sorry to say 2 things: 1st: It is surely not the case that on most airports of te world taxis cost more than inside the city! Honestly: I don't know ANY airport where it is lioke that! Not in Europe, not in Asia! Only in the Philippines! :( And what about the taxis with the big meter? (around 25 x 15 cm) They charge you 10 Peso per 100 meters!!!! My cousin paid around 3000 Peso from the airport to Makati!!!! That's the Philippines and what is doing police? Nothing!
We arrived Naia terminal 3 from Davao City going to Tagaytay. We asked the condo owner wat to ride and where. As we line up for taxi going to old Coastal Mall terminal for a bus ride... This plate Nos.ABH-1233 a white taxi w/an old man driver we thought he knows where it is... and old enough for the route .This Taxi has no GPS...He drove Us to the express way going to cavite without telling us NO EXIT. We pay for the 2way toll fee of p24.00each plus our fare p400.00.totalled p450.00.but old coastal mall terminal is but at the corner of pasay only. WOW we are tired and exhausted and we spend that amount for nonsense trip w/the Taxi... i hope a full action w/those taxis that might have not been trained or attended a seminar from LTO.
I was ripped off paying 2500 pesos to Makati hotel; after I inquired about the meter he waved off as « airport taxi do not use »; lots of questions about if it was my work travel ..etc I didnt like all the questions but I was tired after long flight. he keptcalling me « sir »repeatedly which I found peculiar .
At the hotel I asked the front desk and they alerted me I was vastly over charged.
At the Manila information I asked what taxis to use but they were not helpful just told me any cab.
Live and learn. It definitely soured my Manila trip.
We were charged 800 pesos from terminal 4 to Cubao. Yellow taxi plate number NAL 6978. We were so tired from our 4am arrival at NAIA terminal 4 and we didn't notice the driver didn't turn the meter on. The driver said they only use meter for trips to Pasay and normally charge 800 for trips to Cubao. Very wrong. It would have only cost us around 400 pesos if we took Grab instead. Lesson learned, always make sure the meter is on before leaving the airport.
