Workshop on leadership inspired by nature and Earth's wisdom traditions
"Another world is not only possible, she is on her way. On a quiet day, I can hear her breathing." – Arundhati Roy
2016 dates announced soon
Near central London
Vountary pricing (see below)
Join us on an exploration of new forms of leadership, inspired by Nature and the Earth's wisdom traditions. In a world in need of new balance and purpose, here we renew capacities for awareness, presence, purpose, reconnection, compassion and a rebalancing of the 'yin' with the 'yang'.
The workshop will be led by Andres Roberts and Jennifer Menke, who have delved deep into wisdom and Earth teachings while working across new boundaries of leadership, systemic innovation, nature connection and spirituality.
Jennifer is in the UK for only a short time and this is a great opportunity to share ideas from her work with the Academy for Systemic Change in the US. This workshop also builds on an earlier gathering Andres and Jennifer co-hosted on 'Leadership and the Feminine', held in Colorado last Summer.
We are delighted to be able to hold this workshop together, committed to supporting deeper connection, clearer minds, more open hearts and realignment of ourselves, our collective purpose and healthier society and planet.
How can we reconnect to deeper purpose and our path as leaders for our communities and for our planet?
How might we develop presence, flow, connection and balance in a way fit for ourselves as human beings and the world we are part of?
How to open the senses and awareness to interpret and navigate an accelerating and more complex world?
How do we nourish capacities for being as much as doing; and for openness and receptivity as much as striving and 'advancing'?
How do we listen deeply to the Earth to inform our actions, so that they are in alignment with the natural rhythm of the planet?
How can we seduce this new world that our hearts know is possible?
Ancient pactices to develop awareness, presence and connection to Source, ourselves and each other
Embodied activities to bring to life a full feeling of flow, reconnection and balance
A deep, full and honest dialogue – and physical practices – related to rebalancing masculine and feminine forces in us and all the world
Deep dialogue and deep listening practices at a time when we must listen to each other and the earth
Safe space for story-telling, personal reflection and action setting
Mini 'solos' to connect with inner and outer nature
The beginning of new community dedicated to leadership in alignment with ourselves and the Earth
Dates and logistics
The workshop will take place over two days near central London, with the option to come for both days or the first day alone. The first day will emphasise leadership as Self. The second day will look at how to translate these qualities to the wider world.
Jennifer and Andres bring knowledge from a number of elders and wisdom teachers, applied to modern work and challenges. We would like to take this opportuity to honour the people we have learnt from to do this work, including John P. Milton, Miss Lane Moonwalker, Thich Nhat Hanh, Joanna Macy and the many other teachers and peers. In this session we will be introducing and working with ideas and practices from across mindfulness, Buddhism, T'ai Chi, Qi Gong, Taoism, Native American traditions, Systems Thinking and Nature herself. We will do so while making space to work practically with our own stories while also responding to collective needs and stories as they emerge.
We would like to offer a voluntary pricing structure with the suggested range below.
Career/Journey Starters: £60 plus VAT per day
Professional: £125 plus VAT per day
Organisations or feeling abundant: £250 plus VAT per day
We are asking for expression of interest before 30th October, with places filled on a first come first served basis. We will give priority to people wanting to attend both days. We ask for payment by 30th October, after which we will offer places to any people on waiting list. To express interest please contact me at andres[at]wayofnature.co.uk.
Logistics Venue will be within 45 minutes by train from central London, to be confirmed when we have final numbers.

This is part of the hotel chain's commitment to cut its environmental footprint in half by 2030.
When you check out of a hotel and leave the partially used soaps behind, did you ever think of what happens to them? Hilton has and they have a plan to put them to good use.
The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that 2 million partially used bars of soap are thrown away every day in the US. Soap that could be used by people who have no access to soap and could be used to save the lives of millions of children globally.
That's why Hilton announced last month that it will be collecting the leftover soaps in guest rooms and recycle them into 1 million new bars by Global hand Washing Day on October 15. Hilton is partnering with Clean the World Foundation, a global health organization that the chain has worked with before on other projects.
Hilton has already donated 7.6 million bars of recycled soap over the last 10 years according to CNN Business, but the new initiative is a big expansion and the company plans to send absolutely zero soap to landfills by 2030.
This is part of a larger initiative to cut the chains environmental footprint in half and to double its social impact investment by 2030 according to a company press release. The company also plans on doubling the amount it spends with local and minority owned suppliers. All of these goals are part of Hilton's Travel with Purpose corporate responsibility strategy to further the UN's 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda.
While doing good should be motive enough, the company conducted a survey in May 2018 asking 72,000 Hilton guests if they researched a hotel's environmental and social efforts when they made their choice in where to stay. The survey showed that 44 percent of travelers under the age of 25 actively research this information and that 36 percent of vacationers and 29 percent of business clients seek this information. Doing good is obviously good for business.
Hilton is already known as an environmental leader in the hotel industry having reduced carbon emissions and waste by 30 percent and energy and water consumption by 20 percent since 2008. But the new initiative is even more demanding. The environmental impact of the hotels is calculated by Lightstay, a performance measurement system, to track the progress of the new goals.
"Companies play an integral role in solving our climate crisis," said Sheila Bonini, senior vice president, Private Sector Engagement, World Wildlife Fund in the press release. "By committing to significant intensity emissions reductions based on science, Hilton is setting in motion a plan that will have ripple effects across the hospitality industry while providing more sustainable options for travelers.
Recycling soap is only a small step in a giant-sized global issue, but small steps add up. So, the next time you plan a vacation, find out what the corporate commitments are to recycling plastics and soap and do your part in not wasting the soap and toiletries that are provided. Use one bar or one plastic bottle and take the unused portion with you to finish and recycle.


The Sardines' sound—wartime Paris via New Orleans—is steeped in hot jazz, salty stride piano and the kind of music Louis Armstrong, Django Reinhardt and Waller used to make: straight-up, foot-stomping jazz. The band's jazz roots run deep and intertwine with French influences via their frontwoman, "Miz Elizabeth" Bougerol, who was born and raised in Paris. Members of the Sardines collective have worked with genre greats including Rufus Wainwright, Sufjan Stevens, Lauren Ambrose, Nicholas Payton, Kurt Elling, the New York and Jerusalem Philharmonics, Slavic Soul Party and the Williamsburg Salsa Orchestra.


There are only two days left until New Year's Eve; have you finalized your plans for the big night? Every year I usually wait until the last minute to decide what to do, so if you're anything like me, you're going to need some options! Ellen will be welcoming 2012 in Los Angeles and I will be holding down the fort in SD, so we decided to list some of the best places to be when the ball drops-no matter which city you're in. And do tell us your plans- we got to weigh all our options!
Not gonna lie I'm pretty jealous I will be missing the Cults live performance at The Standard Hotel Hollywood when the ball drops. They were definitely a break out band of 2011, and not only that Johnny & Jenny (Jenny Lewis of Rilo Kiley) as well as Dj Marion Hodges will also be providing entertainment for the night. Sip a drink by the pool in my honor please!
Just watched Marie Antoinette again and all I want is desserts, desserts, and more desserts! Are you dreaming of macaroons too? Then head to the oh so chic eatery Bottega Louie– they have a selection even the Queen of France would go giddy for! And yes, they have yummy Italian cuisine and a gourmet market to boot too.They're seating till midnight and ringing in the New Year with a champagne toast, the perfect companion to a sugar high!
Okay, so it's not really happening at night persay but seeing the floats for The Rose Parade being decorated up close and personal is something everyone should experience. You know we really love flowers so what else would you expect? You have the chance to see the floats on a couple different days but on New Year's Eve from 11am-5pm. Did we mention it's one of the more wallet friendly New Year's activities? Costing only $10 a person- awesome!
We're all about dressing up for New Year's as it is, but roaring twenties? That is so up our alley! Makes us think of a party Chuck & Blair would host… El Dorado bar is doing the hosting and can't say we wouldn't mind drinking a sidecar there while wearing some pearls. The bartenders here are some of the best in SD! So come early (before 10:30) and get in with only a $10 cover.
Starlite is a real gem; that rare mix of great food, drinks, and ambiance. We'd probably go here a couple times just for the decor (we're those kind of people) but luckily we enjoy all the other offerings too! Make sure and get a mule– it is as good as everyone says it is but all the drinks are guaranteed to get your buzz on. Go this New Year's Eve for either their three course dinner or drinks and party package- we're sure you won't regret either!

HoR debate over amendments to LPA finally under way after protestors blockade
By Libya Herald reporter.
Tunis/Tobruk, 9 October 2017:
Over a hundred members of the House of Representatives (HoR) joined in a delayed session today in Tobruk to discuss the amendments to the Libyan Political Agreement agreed last month in Tunis by the dialogue committees of both the HoR and the State Council (SC) . They included some 30 pro-Presidency Council (PC) members who flew in from Tripoli last night, many of whom have not taken in HoR sessions for some time.
For a while, however, it seemed that the session would not take place as local municipal council and HoR employees blockaded access to the parliament demanding payment of back salaries. The issue was eventually resolved in negotiations between the protestors and representatives of HoR president Ageela Saleh. It allowed the session to begin in the late afternoon, but not before threats that the HoR would simply meet elsewhere – an unprecedented threat because Saleh has until now steadfastly refused all suggestions that the parliament convene elsewhere.
At the session, the dialogue and the amendments to the LPA were the only issues under discussion.
So far, there has been agreement between the HoR and SC teams to reduce the Presidency Council from nine members to three and for there to be a separate prime minister and cabinet.
Discussions will continue tomorrow at which the methodology of appointing a new government and PC will figure along with the LPA's contentious supplementary article No. 8 on the appointment and role of the supreme commander of the armed forces and the demands that the State Council have 200 members rather than the current 138 or the LPA's stipulation that it have 145.
It is anticipated that other HoR members will attend the second session on Tuesday.
A second round of negotiations on the outstanding LPA articles in contention is to begin in Tunis on Saturday, UN special representative Ghassan Salamé has announced.

Fires Spreading in Australia
Hannah McDonough, Editor|January 15, 2020
Since September, Australia has been experiencing extreme wildfires. Fires aren't necessarily unusual at this time of year in Australia because it is their fire season. But the season started early and it shows no signs of stopping.
There is a large history of drought in Australia, as well as dry, hot weather. These things all add up to fire. According to BBC, there have been cooler temperatures and rain recently, but there are still more than 100 fires burning. South Wales and Victoria have been hit with the most and worst fires. They also said that as of yesterday, three people have died in Victoria due to these fires. More than thousands of people have had to evacuate their homes to escape these unrelenting fires.
Exotic Wildlife Endangered
Australia is known for exotic wildlife, especially on Kangaroo Island. It is home to endangered species, but the island has also been hit hard. An effort to rescue species, such as the koala, was put in place, but according to BBC, an estimated 25,000 koalas were killed from the fires on Kangaroo Island alone.
Smoke Pollution
In cities such as Canberra and Sydney, smoke pollution has been a major problem. People have been breathing in too much smoke. According to CNN, young children and elderly are the most at risk, but everyone has been experiencing symptoms including sore eyes and throat and nose irritations.
According to CNN, as of Jan. 8, 24 people were arrested for arson in New South Wales. Apparently, some of the bush fires were started with arson. The fires have grown and since it's fire season, who knows when it will be put out.
Australia is having a long and hard fire season, and species are endangered, evacuations have been ordered, and smoke is causing pollution. When this all will end, we don't know.

– So you don't believe in God, Adam?
– I have not found significant evidence of the existence of God or his absence. There are only logical attempts to explain this or that. In this case, I would try to use the quotation: "Scientists follow the scientific method, within which theories must be verifiable by physical experiment. The majority of prominent conceptions of God explicitly or effectively posit a being which is not testable either by proof or disproof. On these bases, the question regarding the existence of God, one for which evidence cannot be tested, may lie outside the purview of modern science by definition." Therefore, I simply postponed this question for a while.
– Yes, I laid it in you during creation, so that you could become my assistant in one difficult question. That is why I gave you this task.


Ischemic heart disease- commonly known as coronary heart disease- is a medical condition when all parts of the heart do not receive enough blood. This condition gives rise to re-occurrence of chest pains. In times of excitement and exertion, when the heart needs greater flow of blood, the circulation of the blood to the heart is obstructed due to this specific heart disease.
Signs and symptoms of Chronic Ischemic Heart Disease develop gradually when cholesterol gets deposited on the walls of the arteries. This deposit creates a hindrance to the circulating system of the blood.
Ischemic heart disease or coronary heart disease creates an obstruction in the flow of blood, especially in the arteries of the heart. The job of these coronary arteries is to carry oxygen to the heart for its proper functioning. Symptoms of this disease differ from person to person in terms of intensity.
The signs and symptoms of Ischemic heart disease may be experienced occasionally or sometimes even daily. The symptoms depend on the degree to which the coronary arteries are blocked.
Chest pain, chest pressure and shortness of breath are the most common symptoms of coronary heart disease. These symptoms are relieved by putting the patient at ease or by providing him with medical assistance.
The patient may also experience gradual spreading of the chest pain to the back, arms and other areas of the torso.
Indigestion or formation of gas and discomfort in the stomach are commonly experienced by patients suffering from Ischemic heart disease.
The chest pain tends to occur repeatedly and sometimes in an episodic manner too.
The symptoms usually occur during times of immense excitement or physical exertion. These are the times when the heart needs to function harder.
Chest pain and other back pains experienced by the patient may last for five minutes or less but could pose a major risk to the life of the patient.
Sometimes coronary heart disease, which is a chronic disease without any cure, could be life threatening for the person who is suffering from it. In case someone experiences these symptoms, immediate medical assistance is recommended.
Angina pectoris is a type of chest pain which typically occurs on the left side of the body.
The skin of the patient getting clammy is a serious symptom of coronary heart disease.
Feeling of nausea with or without vomiting is also experienced.
Rapid breathing or shortness of breath.
Intense pain in the chest which may spread further to arms and shoulders.

How festive economy impacts e-commerce sales of SMEs in India
May 16 2022: Amazon and Flipkart were revealed to be the preferred e-commerce platforms of small and medium enterprises in India and they experienced moderate to exponential growth during Covid, finds a study by the CUTS Institute for Regulation & Competition (CIRC.
The research report entitled "Festive Economy and e-Commerce Sales of Small and Medium Businesses in India" aims to assess the role of e-commerce platforms in enhancing the festive sales of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in India and whether the policy landscape in the country is conducive to the growth of e-commerce.
Festive sales play an important role in the Indian economy. In addition to creating communal bonding, festivals also create economic opportunities for businesses, specifically regional MSMEs. The festive economy creates employment opportunities directly as well as indirectly. However, these opportunities were hampered by the lockdown imposed in the wake of the spread of Covid-19. In these times of uncertainty and bleak future, e-commerce offered the much-needed resilience to keep the businesses afloat and a channel to consumers to shop during lockdowns.
CIRC conducted a consumer survey and Key Informant Interviews (KIIs) with small sellers. The research shows that e-commerce is a positive innovation for both consumers and sellers. The consumer survey reported a higher percentage of consumers expressing their preference to shop online during festivals. Similarly, small sellers also reported to have benefitted from e-commerce during festivals and the festive sale events organised by e-commerce companies.
Festivals a create economic opportunities for businesses, specifically regional Medium, Small and Micro Enterprises (MSMEs). The festive economy creates employment opportunities directly as well as indirectly. However, these opportunities were hampered by the lockdown imposed in the wake of the spread of Covid-19. Small sellers, who are reliant on local geographies and seasonal sales, were badly hit by the pandemic, so much so that 35% of small businesses and 37% of self-employed individuals had to shut down their business.
In these times of uncertainty and bleak future, e-commerce offered the much-needed resilience to keep the businesses afloat and a channel to consumers to shop during lockdowns as well as other times without running the risk of exposure to the virus. The e-commerce landscape in India was already flourishing with the increasing internet penetration; however, the pandemic expedited its adoption. As per the estimates of E&Y, the last quarter of 2020 saw the online order volume growing by 36% in India with tier 2 and 3 cities accounting for a 90% incremental volume and value growth in one year. As per the 'MSME Digital Readiness Survey' conducted in 2021 to understand how Indian MSMEs have adapted during the pandemic by adopting a digital first approach, MSME saw an increase of 65% in online buying from customers.
14 small sellers were interviewed over the telephone using a semi-structured questionnaire. They were asked about their e-commerce experience in general, during the pandemic and during festivals. They were also questioned about their motivation for on-boarding e-commerce platforms. Amazon and Flipkart were revealed to be the preferred e-commerce platforms as 42% of the surveyed sellers were registered on only these two platforms. As many as 64% of the sellers joined the e-commerce platforms to get access to a wider customer base. Technological evolution and sustaining business during lockdown were other motivations. Sure enough, 42% of respondents experienced moderate to exponential growth, as high as 300 to 500% in sales. However, these figures were substantially hit by the pandemic. Significant increase in sales was reported by 71% of the respondents during the festive season. Handicrafts and home décor items experienced higher sales growth as compared to other commodities. On the policy side, however, 71% of the respondents were not aware of the regulations related to e-commerce, which indicates a need to sensitize the small sellers about e-commerce onboarding as well as the e-commerce policies in India and their rights.
The report concludes with a policy discussion covering the new and proposed regulations governing the e-commerce sector, such as Draft National E-commerce Policy 2019, Consumer Protection Act 2019, Foreign Direct Investment laws and policies, and Personal Data Protection Bill 2019. Based on the broad policy discussion, we recommend the following way forward:
1. The vision of the National E-commerce Policy should be to promote the growth of e[1]commerce by easing entry into the market and reducing the compliance burden.
2. All the laws and policies should go through a consultative process; a framework for continuing constructive dialogue with the stakeholders should also be created. Festive Economy and Online Retail for MSMEs in India
3. The playing field between domestic and foreign e-commerce players should be levelled by applying the same regulations and laws to both.
4. There should be a single set of policies/regulations governing online and offline sellers, bringing in parity.
5. Instead of restricting foreign e-commerce players from letting related parties sell on their platforms, the policy should focus on platform neutrality.
6. The regulatory intervention to micro-manage e-commerce business, such as dictating the type of sale events to be run by e-commerce players, should be avoided.
7. Data should be free flowing across borders, with bare minimum restrictions.
8. There should be more capacity building programmes to educate small sellers on onboarding and using e-commerce. The government and e-commerce players can join hands to carry it out.

CLC, D21 Lawsuit Calling for FEC Enforcement Moves Forward
Federal Court Rejects FEC's Attempt to Dismiss Lawsuit Calling for FEC Investigation into Anonymous Contributions
WASHINGTON – A federal district court today refused to throw out a lawsuit Campaign Legal Center and Democracy 21 filed against the Federal Election Commission (FEC). CLC and D21 filed the suit in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia after the FEC failed to act on five complaints calling on the agency to investigate donors who broke disclosure laws by hiding behind opaque corporate entities like Limited Liability Companies (LLCs) to anonymously make contributions to super PACs.
In response to the lawsuit, the FEC called on the court to dismiss the case, on the ground that CLC and D21 failed to show standing, or the right to sue. The court disagreed as to the majority of the FEC complaints and now the case will be heard on the merits.
"The Federal Election Commission is out of control and this court has made clear that the agency will not be able to easily avoid being held accountable for failing to do its job in enforcing campaign finance laws," said Larry Noble, senior director of regulatory reform programs and general counsel for CLC. "The U.S. Supreme Court has made it clear that disclosure laws play a vital role in providing the electorate with critical information to make informed choices. Each time the FEC fails to pursue a serious violation of the law, it weakens our democracy and the ability of Americans to know who is truly influencing our elections. It also sends a loud and clear message that those who violate campaign finance laws will face no penalties. We can't sit idly by and let the FEC destroy the integrity of our democracy."
"We have reached the point where the only way it seems possible to get the dysfunctional FEC to do its job is by suing them," said Democracy 21 President Fred Wertheimer. "The FEC's failure to adopt regulations that properly interpret the campaign finance laws is a major reason why so much dark money is pouring into federal elections. We are very pleased that the district court judge has refused to go along at this stage of our lawsuit with the FEC's stonewalling opposition to our efforts to obtain campaign finance disclosures that the America people have a right to know."
CLC and D21, over the course of several years, filed complaints with the FEC against several newly formed corporate entities and their undisclosed donors for violating the "straw donor" provision of Federal Election Campaign Act (FECA). These donors' anonymous contributions ranged from $857,000 to over $12 million, and some of the donors openly admitted in the media that they had used or even created personal companies to hide their identities from the public. Still, the FEC dismissed all five complaints, after the three Republican commissioners voted not to investigate and sanction these donors.
The lawsuit states that in dismissing these complaints, the FEC has "undermined FECA's purposes, including its goal of promoting transparency in elections and providing the electorate with information about who is speaking to it during elections." CLC and D21, along with the public, "were deprived of timely information about the sources of the contributions made to the super PACs – information to which they are legally entitled to under FECA."
The lawsuit calls for the court to find that the FEC's dismissal of the complaints was "arbitrary, capricious, and an abuse of discretion, and otherwise contrary to the law," and seeks a judicial order demanding the FEC enforce the law within 30 days.


Jean-Noël Etcheverry, Txetx, one of the artisans of peace involved in ETA's disarmament and in the relations between the Basque delegation and the French government announced on January 13th that the French Government doesn't oppose a process of moving Basque prisoners to the prisons of Mont-de-Marsan and Lannemezan and that these transfers will begin in a few weeks.
The spokesman of the French Ministry of Justice, Youssef Badr, has confirmed that the prisoners will be transferred in the next weeks, always case by case. Badr stressed that the decisions will be taken in accordance with the French Code of Criminal Procedure and that the Ministry of Justice works in concert with the Spanish authorities. The French Ministry of Justice will study individually the requests for rapprochement of the detainees, as well as the requests to lift the DPS statute, the acronym of "detainee particularly indicated" (security profile).
The announcement has been welcome by institutions and parties all around the Basque Country. The President of the Basque institution in the north, Jean-René Etchegaray has stated that he expects that the announced rapprochement is big enough to fulfil the expectations of citizens. The elected representatives in the north, which have been involved in a dialogue with the Justice Ministry, have added that if this rapprochement takes place, other issues such as early release of seriously ill prisoners and parole should also be considered.

David Fincher's The Social Network is the stunning tale of a new breed of cultural insurgent: a punk genius who sparked a revolution and changed the face of human interaction for a generation, and perhaps forever. Shot through with emotional brutality and unexpected humour, this superbly crafted film chronicles the formation of Facebook and the battles over ownership that followed upon the website's unfathomable success. With a complex, incisive screenplay by Aaron Sorkin and a brilliant cast including Jesse Eisenberg, Andrew Garfield and Justin Timberlake, The Social Network bears witness to the birth of an idea that rewove the fabric of society even as it unravelled the friendship of its creators. © 2010 Columbia Pictures Industries, Inc. and Beverly Blvd LLC.

Bad Neighbours 2
Returning stars Seth Rogen, Zac Efron, and Rose Byrne are joined by Chloë Grace Moretz for Bad Neighbours 2. Nicholas Stoller again directs in a film that follows what happens when the will of parenthood goes against the bonds of sisterhood. Now that Mac (Rogen) and Kelly Radner (Byrne) have a second baby on the way, they are ready to make the final move into adulthood: the suburbs. But just as they thought they'd reclaimed the neighborhood and were safe to sell, they learn that the new occupants next door are a sorority even more out of control than Teddy (Efron) and his brothers ever dreamed of being. Tired of their school's sexist, restrictive system, the unorthodox ladies of Kappa Nu have decided to start a house where they can do whatever the hell they want. When Shelby (Moretz) and her sisters, Beth (Kiersey Clemons) and Nora (Beanie Feldstein), find the perfect place just off campus, they won't let the fact that it's located on a quiet street stand in their way of parties as epic as the guys throw. Forced to turn to the one ex-neighbor with the skills to bring down the new Greeks next door, the Radners—alongside best friends Jimmy (Ike Barinholtz) and Paula (Carla Gallo)—bring in charismatic Teddy as their secret weapon. If he can infiltrate the sorority and charm his way through it, the thirtysomethings will shutter the Kappas' home. But if they think that their neighbors are going down without a fight, they have severely underestimated the power of youthful ingenuity and straight-up crazy.

Will the Senate remove Trump? That depends on first-followers
Free Speech News
By Susan Caba
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell vows to block removal of Donald J. Trump from office, if the House of Representatives votes to impeach the president.
"The way that impeachment stops is a Senate majority with me as majority leader," McConnell says in a recently launched fundraising campaign. He may be right—twenty GOP senators would have to defect from the party line for the Senate to reach the 67 votes needed to remove Trump from office.
Fat chance of that happening, according to the nation's chattering classes of pundits and politicians. McConnell controls committee assignments, choice pieces of legislative pork, and two multi-million-dollar super-PACs senators depend upon for their re-election efforts. Defy him at your peril.
But I sense a few chinks in the solid red wall McConnell has assembled in the Senate, with his 53-member majority. I wouldn't even be surprised, if it comes to a Senate trial, if McConnell votes for Trump's removal himself on charges of asking foreign countries to investigate the son of one of his political rivals.

Call it the Colin Kaepernick Effect.
The quarterback of the San Francisco 49er's started a lonely protest in the 2016 pre-season, kneeling during the national anthem to protest police brutality against minorities. By the start of the 2017 season, his "take-a-knee" movement had spread throughout the National Football League—bolstered by caustic remarks by President Trump. The following year, basketball and baseball players were taking a knee before their games, too.
It was a classic demonstration of the importance of followers—especially first followers. What is a "first follower?"
Simply put, a "first follower" is the person who helps turn an idea into a movement. Without that person and the next few followers, a brilliant idea may go nowhere. Or, as entrepreneur Derek Sivers put it: "The first follower is what transforms a lone nut into a leader."
Sivers outlined the concept of first followers in a vivid Ted Talk,"How to Start a Movement." In the 2010, three-minute video, he demonstrates the significance of a movement's first few followers—"underestimated leaders in their own right."
The video begins with a shirtless young man dancing wildly on a hillside where other people are picnicking. A few seconds later, another young man runs up and begins dancing. The first dancer embraces the second and they keep dancing. Then a third joins in. "Three is a crowd and a crowd is news," says Sivers.
Heads turn, more people run to join the dancers—"They'll be ahead of the crowd, if they hurry," notes Sivers. Within three minutes, everyone on the hillside is dancing. At this point, not joining would just be humiliating.
Those first few followers are as important as the individual with the original idea, says Sivers. First followers are important because "new followers emulate the first follower, not the leader."

Could the same thing happen in the Senate on impeachment?
Admittedly, the Republican majority in the Senate would be a tough audience to recruit. GOP senators rarely defy an edict of The Leader, as they call McConnell. Even when he had only a majority of 51 to 49, McConnell lost only one big vote, when Senators Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), Susan Collins (R-Maine) and John McCain (R-Arizona) broke ranks in 2017 to save the Affordable Care Act.
I'd say the vote on the ACA was the result of the Kaepernick Effect. Murkowski and Collins announced their intentions to vote against repeal of the ACA early on. They only needed one follower to block the repeal. McCain joined their party at the last minute—a vote I don't think he would have cast if he had been the lone defector.
The Kaepernick Effect is already in play in the impeachment drama, kicked off by a complaint by an anonymous whistleblower. Trump, said the whistleblower, is seeking election help from the Ukrainian president, while withholding $400 million in Congressionally approved military aid to the country. Ten days later, a second whistleblower came forward to reinforce the allegations. Let's see if that "first follower" is joined by others.
President Trump's opposition amplified the take-a-knee movement.
Kaepernick's take-a-knee movement started slowly, little noticed by the press or anyone else. Then he found his first follower in 49ers' safety Eric Reid. A few other players joined them.
It wasn't until Donald Trump took note in the spring of 2017 and insisted at a political rally that the football players were disrespecting the flag. Trump kept up his disparagement all that year and into 2018, shouting at one point: "Wouldn't you love to see one of these NFL owners … say 'Get that son of a bitch off the field right now. Out! He's fired! He's fired!'"
Trump 's remarks did activate his core voters. But he also pushed Kaepernick's actions into a full-fledged movement, with players, coaches and owners taking a knee. Not joining became unthinkable.
Typically, the president amped up his criticism—and threatened NFL owners. The Wall Street Journal reported that Trump "scared the bejesus" out of the owners, warning them that the NFL protests were "a very winning, strong issue for me. Tell everybody, you can't win this one. This one lifts me."
Trump is following the same playbook to avoid eviction from office.
The president and his inner circle are exhausting the stock of cliches — "going all out," "doubling down," "riding hell for leather"—needed to describe their assault on the impeachment effort. They've called it a "coup d'etat," accused House Democrats of treason, and deflected, defended and denied facts in every way possible, in their efforts to maintain and enforce GOP unity in the Senate in the event of an impeachment trial.
And, just as in the football skirmish, Trump not only didn't deny asking Ukraine for election help. He called for China to investigate his supposed Democratic rival, too—in a press conference. (The U.S. Constitution prohibits foreign entities from intervening in an election.)
Republican senators have, so far, averted their eyes and remained silent—or resolutely non-committal. An Iowa woman confronted Republican Senator Joni Ernst at a town hall meeting.
"Where is the line? When are you guys going to say, 'Enough' and stand up and say, 'You know what, I'm not backing any of this'?" asked Amy Haskins, of Manning, IA. "You still stand there, silent. And your silence is supporting him…"
She couldn't speak for Trump, Ernst replied. "The President is going to say what the President is going to do," she said, painstakingly keeping her comments focused on wrong-doing in other countries and not aimed at Trump. "Corruption is corruption, and it should be combated," she said, before changing the topic.
It's probably too soon to look for GOP first-followers.
Only three Republican senators are on the record condemning Trump for soliciting Ukrainian and Chinese help in his 2020 election bid.
All three—Collins, Utah's Mitt Romney and Ben Sasse of Nebraska—were reticent when the allegations about Ukraine were first raised. When Trump asked China as well to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden's son, the three felt compelled to speak out publicly.
Romney's response was immediate and severe:
Trump protesting impeachment inquiry.
"By all appearances, the President's brazen and unprecedented appeal to China and to Ukraine to investigate Joe Biden is wrong and appalling. When the only American citizen President Trump singles out for China's investigation is his political opponent in the midst of the Democratic nomination process, it strains credulity to suggest that it is anything other than politically motivated."
Sasse, up for re-election next year and a sporadic Trump critic, weighed in a day later, in a statement to the Omaha World-Herald:
"Hold up: Americans don't look to Chinese commies for the truth. If the Biden kid broke laws by selling his name to Beijing, that's a matter for American courts, not communist tyrants running torture camps." Sasse may have mollified the president by criticizing the House impeachment inquiry, calling it a "partisan clown show."
Two days later, Collins—who is in the unfamiliar position of running in a tight race for re-election—became the third Republican senator to publicly criticize Trump. In an interview with the Bangor Daily News, she rebuked Trump for actions that were "completely inappropriate."
Is the Senate's solid red wall crumbling?
Too soon to tell. It's easier to make a statement than it is to cast a vote. Romney and Sasse, both vote Trump's way 86 percent of the time, according to the statistical website FiveThirtyEight.com.
Collins is one of the few GOP senators considered to be moderate. She votes in line with Trump 68 percent of the time. But on big votes, with the exception of her opposition to repealing the ACA, she known for saying one thing, then voting however Mitch McConnell wants her to vote. If she voted with her publicly stated positions, says FiveThirtyEight, she would only vote pro-Trump positions 45 percent of the time.
Trump tweeting insults.
Opposing Trump is dangerous. He wields his Twitter account with Zorro-like brutality. The day after Romney's criticism, the president called him a "pompous ass" and a "fool" who "begged" Trump to endorse his Senate campaign. Romney, said Trump, should be impeached. (Senators can't be impeached,)
Trump's jibes provoked his followers to deluge Romney with Twitter abuse—he and other critics have been called "garbage," "spineless sellouts" who are "stabbing Trump in the back." Anyone considering a critical comment—while depending on Trump's support in their own district—recognize those responses as explicit warnings.
"Everyone talks about the need for great leadership, in public office, business and our personal lives," says Sivers. "But hardly anyone talks about the value—the necessity—of followers. Without first followers, a movement never comes to life. They have the courage to follow and show others how to follow."

No tax will be charged on mobile users who use or load Rs. 500 or less balance in a month, this is what Attorney General of Pakistan assured the Supreme Court of Pakistan.
During the proceedings of case regarding tax charges on mobile users the attorney general requested for additional time to come up with the plan for charging tax on users of cellular networks.
He clarified in the court that tax policy is being made only for those who charge balance more than Rs. 500 in a month, whether through easy load or mobile cards. It is to relief the poor and common man regarding whom Chief Justice Saqib Nisar raised voice.
Previously during the proceedings Chief Justice remarked that people are being looted, he questioned how can a vendor be charged tax?
Chief Justice suspended the taxes on all prepaid users during the suo motu notice which became a relief for common users but it was also a loss for government revenue.
The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) will lose Rs. 48 billion while provincial governments will bear a loss of Rs. 74 billion in just 12 months. The total loss of revenue for government will be Rs. 123 billion.

A few years ago I was struggling to find a business that I could run around my baby. I wrote about my business ideas here at Business Plus Baby and that led to me co-writing the book Start a Family Friendly Business: 129 Brilliant Business Ideas for Mums.
From looking at their business models and the prices they charged I could see that many mums running businesses were earning less than they should considering their skills and experience. Some were barely making a minimum-wage income once their expenses were taken into account.
It really got to me that all that hard work, generosity and talent was not being properly rewarded. The end result would be that most mums would have no choice but to return to employment once their kids were older and childcare was no longer a headache.
That's not a problem if you genuinely want to return to a job, but it's heart-breaking to have to give up your business just because you aren't earning enough to carry on.
I wanted to help, so I wrote my e-book Earn What You Deserve as a Mumpreneur. I mentioned it to Antonia, my co-author of Start A Family Business while we were at the Mumpreneur UK Conference in September 2010. She thought it would be a great idea to turn it into an e-course. I'd wanted to create an e-course for several years but I'd never found my subject or audience, so here was my opportunity.
I recorded an audio version of the e-book, wrote a 4-week workbook with activities and recorded several other audios. Then I realised my graphic design skills were not remotely up to the job, so I hired Kim Timothy of Boutique by Design who created the fabulous logo you can see at the top of the screen.
I thought it would be crazy not to make use of E-Junkie's (my shopping cart) ability to manage affiliates, so I set about recruiting a team of affiliates.Which then meant I had to create a set of banners and instructions on how to join the programme and use them. And I set up a sales page at earnwhatyoudeserveasamumpreneur.co.uk.
All of that delayed my launch date until mid-May 2011. Top tip for creating info products – don't let them keep growing and growing or you risk never launching at all!
But launch I did, with a team of affiliates who ended up begin responsible for about 70% of my sales.So it was great learning experience for me and the most money I'd made online up until that point.
I ran a second promotion in late September 2011 and finally retired Earn What You Deserve as a Mumpreneur in February 2012. By then I felt everyone who was likely to buy it had already done so. Plus I was ready to move on to new projects by then.
So if you're thinking of creating an e-course my advice is to just go for it. You'll learn far more by diving in and trying it than you ever would in planning or taking a course.
And if you'd like me to help you as you create your e-course, join my Online Business Club.

The Dictionary Project
ABDA member, designer and Oxford University Press design manager Sue Dani takes us behind the scenes on this mammoth project, which was the winner of the Best Designed Scholarly and Reference Book category at the 2017 Australian Book Design Awards.
More than 28 years after it was first published, it was time to design the second edition of the Australian National Dictionary. I was thrilled to be asked to work on this iconic title and also a little daunted at the task ahead. The brief was open apart from three key requirements: the design must be functional as a reference title, it should reflect the 'Oxford look and feel', and it had to be striking and covetable. No pressure!
The Australian National Dictionary is essentially a reflection of our nation's heritage, history and culture through historical to current language. After reading through the brief, talking with the teams and researching the history of this title, I felt strongly that this unique 'Australianness' needed to be communicated through the design. Something else that was on my mind was this title had the potential to bridge the gap between library purchases and appeal to the collector or gift-giver. It needed to work on multiple levels without alienating our existing market if we were to gain purchase with a wider audience.
With this in mind, the challenge was to reflect the historical aspect with a contemporary feel while conveying a strong sense of prestige. I took cues from the Australian landscape, flora and fauna which had pleasing synergies with the dictionary content, as a significant component records popular names of flora and fauna over time. Some of the concepts and variations I explored can be seen below with their spine treatments.
Abstract Australian landscape photography, local textile designers and typography were all developed as concepts (and there were many permutations of each!). However, there were two standouts – the vibrant textile concepts and the First Fleet artwork concepts that had the strongest emotive impact with the team.
Many hours of sifting through hundreds of images in the First Fleet archives at the National Museum of Australia had been rewarded. The classic images of the Waratah and stunning King Parrot by George Raper immediately resonated and the team felt the same way when seeing these concepts. The rich colour palettes of the illustrations beautifully complimented the more conservative Oxford 'navy' livery, unifying the two dictionary volumes giving impact and that sense of prestige. It felt right.
To appeal to the collector/gift-giver this design needed to have that 'pick up' appeal. I focused on bringing in a textural aspect to all the concepts I explored through both visual means and production methods, keeping our limited educational budget requirements in mind. Working closely with the production team we looked at many samples of embossing, foiling, and binding options as well as exploring treatments such as belly bands and case options. We decided on quarter binding with a combination of textile and matt finishes and foil for the title treatment. Meanwhile, market research discovered an overwhelming positive response to a case edition in the market so this was added to the offering, allowing us to take the tactile element further.
Overall, the process took about ten months and many, many meetings. A huge team from senior management, marketing, production to representatives from the Australian National Dictionary Centre at the Australian National University in Canberra were involved at each stage and this was challenging at times but having consensus on a cover direction relatively early in the process helped keep us on track and motivated.
The internal design by Joanna Davies progressed on a separate schedule with the structure of the text based on another historical type dictionary, the Oxford English Dictionary, as well as the previous edition of the Australian National Dictionary. The process used XML with content being updated and supplied from the Australian National Dictionary Centre. The files used a multitude of paragraph styles with over 120 character styles painstakingly created to accommodate all the intricacies and details of the content and language.
The layout stages involved working very closely with our typesetting suppliers, the National Dictionary Centre and editorial to refine rounds of the template and XML to ensure all the content was represented correctly. There were also some manual intervention to adjust individual parts of the text as required.
Overall, the project progressed smoothly and although working with such a big team had its challenges I have no doubt it resulted in a much more considered design. A big thanks to all involved – it was a mammoth effort, 28 years in the making!

Social media powerful tool for storytelling
Ali bin Tawar al-Kuwari speaking to participants at the sports journalism masterclass at NU-Q yesterday. PICTURE: Shemeer Rasheed
Joey Aguilar
Qatar Media Corporation's (QMC) Channel 37 manager Ali bin Tawar al-Kuwari underscored the importance and power of social media in storytelling and disseminating information, particularly in the country, at the sports journalism masterclass, taking place at Northwestern University in Qatar (NU-Q).
"Social media engages more people, different segments, and I got (followed) by a diverse audience," al-Kuwari told participants on the third day of what was described as a unique and engaging initiative, dubbed as 'Friends of Qatar'. The session was also attended by Gulf Times editor-in-chief Faisal Abdulhameed al-Mudahka.
The four-day masterclass, a first-of-its-kind in the Middle East under the patronage of Gulf Times in co-operation with NU-Q, kicked off on Monday and concludes today at the NU-Q campus.
Al-Kuwari recounted how he successfully captured and shared fascinating moments, taking pictures and videos, in his numerous travels and visits to various places, especially in South and Latin America, using only his mobile phone.
"I got different audiences, and then I see the changes in the community, a lot of people are talking about places, I (in my social media posts) educate them, I have become a messenger of nations," he said.
Receiving positive reactions and feedbacks from netizens, al-Kuwari said he realised that he suddenly had a message to share to the public – "To accept other and to live near each other" – which was also mentioned in the Holy Qur'an: "To meet and enjoy each other."
"Diversity is amazing" he stressed, citing his experience during his immersion with people and groups as part of his vlog.
Al-Kuwari also highlighted how social media can provide an array of career opportunities for people who have the interest and passion for storytelling.
He said vlogging his adventures and posting them on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter, among other social media accounts, landed him a managerial job at QMC when his series of posts were noticed by the company's senior officials.
According to al-Kuwari, QMC created an independent English channel, which was "totally different" from the news media of Qatar TV, for him to head.
From this point, he said many opportunities have opened such as travelling to other places, including India, among other countries, to film and generate content for his programme. He is scheduled to visit Rwanda today (December 5) with his crew.
The Channel 37 manager stressed that traditional media is supporting and helping promote his endeavours and programmes saying that some episodes were broadcasted on Qatar TV, Turkish channel and Al Jazeera.
While he enjoys doing his passion, he said such work remains to be a big challenge as they broadcast for eight hours daily, airing and sending the right message to viewers.
Al-Kuwari also encouraged participants, as well as neophyte and aspiring vloggers, to be confident and not to be affected by negative comments.
"Talk to your small (mobile phone) camera and don't bother about the comments that come in. Comments did shape me, but I don't allow them to control me. Just keep on improving and have the right skills," he said, citing how renowned influencers rose from their ranks.
Al-Kuwari said neophyte vloggers who try to build confidence can also start by creating a small window such as tweeting, taking pictures or short video/audio for Instagram.

The Henry M. Jackson School of International Studies
Center for Korea Studies, Jackson School of International Studies, University of Washington
BA Asia Studies – Korea Concentration
MA International Studies – Korea Studies
Graduate Certificate Program
The University of Washington is one of the few places in the United States which offers undergraduate and graduate training in Korean studies in a variety of disciplines. Courses are offered in Korean language, history, and society. The language program offers three full years of instruction in the modern language and in advanced reading. The history courses examine the full range of the Korean experience, from the origins of the Korean people in the archaeological record to contemporary times. Courses on Korean history include the period under Japanese colonial rule in the first half of the twentieth century, the liberation of Korea after 1945, the Korean War, and the political, economic, and social development of both South Korea and North Korea. The program of course offerings is supplemented by visiting professors from political science, economics and economic development, folklore, and literature.
The objective of the program is to provide students with a broad background which will be of use to them in a variety of professions, such as teaching, business and government. Through this program, students can prepare for graduate work in Asian studies, or in such disciplines as anthropology, political science, comparative literature, sociology, and history.
The program emphasizes the study of Korea in the context of East Asian and Asian civilization and the modern world economy, not simply as a single country in isolation from its neighbors. Students are encouraged to take related courses on China, on Japan, and in international studies, so that they will emerge from their experience at the University with comprehensive training. The B.A. degree is designed as preparation for graduate work in a discipline department or as a terminal degree for work in business, government, journalism, secondary school teaching, or similar career activity.

Jared Polis
Colorado's Polis is 1st openly gay man elected a US governor
By JAMES ANDERSONNovember 7, 2018 GMT

DENVER (AP) — Democratic U.S. Rep. Jared Polis handily defeated Republican state Treasurer Walker Stapleton in the Colorado governor's race Tuesday, becoming the first openly gay man to be elected governor in the United States.
Polis will succeed Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper, who is term-limited. He briefly acknowledged his landmark election in a victory speech, though he never campaigned on the issue of his sexual orientation, and later embraced his partner, Marlon Reis.
Polis, who is also the state's first Jewish governor, quickly turned to health care, children's education, protecting public lands and immigration — key themes of his campaign.
"All too often people see (the election) falsely as a zero-sum game" of winners and losers, Polis said Tuesday. "We're going to show that we can all win together, and tonight is the beginning of that incredible journey for our state."
Polis, 43, invested a record $22 million of his own wealth in the campaign. He is a five-term congressman and technology entrepreneur who promised to fight for universal health care, renewable energy standards and publicly funded preschool and kindergarten. He vowed to stand up to President Donald Trump's efforts to dismantle former President Barack Obama's health care law.
Polis beat the two-term state treasurer who had defended Colorado's constitutional restrictions on taxing and spending. Stapleton, 44, insisted Polis' ideas for funding education, roads and energy would bankrupt the state.
"Though this has been a tough campaign, now is the time for all of us to come together in Colorado," Stapleton said in his concession speech.
The vote for governor also amounted to a referendum on Trump. The president endorsed Stapleton, who embraced the administration's antipathy toward so-called sanctuary cities that don't closely cooperate with federal immigration authorities.
Carly Everett, 24, an independent voter from Littleton, said Trump's attitude toward immigrants and racial rhetoric was the reason she voted a mostly Democratic ticket.
"It's about Donald Trump, and a lot of bad things going on right now are about him," Everett said after voting in Morrison. "I voted mostly Democrat to oppose the direction the country is headed."
As Democrats led Republicans in turnout before the polls closed, state Republican Party chairman Jeff Hays urged GOP members to "either close that gap or surrender our state to the most radical Democrats their party has ever nominated."
Colorado has not had a Republican governor since 2007. Republicans hold offices that were competitive Tuesday as Democrats won secretary of state and sought to take attorney general and state treasurer.
Democrats also fought for control of the state Senate, which the GOP holds by a one-vote margin. Democrats have a comfortable majority in the state House.
Colorado has one of the nation's lowest unemployment rates and highest rates of economic growth, largely fueled by the tech, aerospace and oil and gas industries.
Citing the threat of climate change to Colorado's outdoors industry, Polis proposed a 100 percent renewable energy standard for Colorado by 2040. Stapleton attacked the goal, saying it would harm Colorado's $31 billion oil and gas industry.
Polis, who raised the ire of the fossil fuels industry by once supporting limits on drilling, insisted the green standard was a goal, not a mandate.
He also unapologetically called for universal health care coverage as a long-term goal and suggested a first step might be to create a regional market with neighboring states.
Stapleton praised Trump's elimination of tax penalties for those without health insurance but, like many other Republicans this election cycle, insisted he would defend an expanded Medicaid program that covers one in four Colorado residents.

Cape Verde Sailing
You'll join Kairós in the heart of the Cape verde islands in the vibrant city of Mindelo on the island of São Vincente. One of the larger towns across the islands, Mindelo gives good international transport links and is considered the cultural hub of the archipelago.
Our next island stop will depend on the wind but could see Kairós sailing to Santo Antão, considered to be the most beautiful island of the archipelago. With rugged luscious mountains and local villages seemingly suspended into the cliffs, it is considered the most green and fertile of the islands.
São Nicolau (also reffered to as Tarrafel) is a peaceful island dotted with fishermans villages, untouched by tourism where guests are welcomed with open arms. Framed by a mountainous backdrop, the island is home to primeval forest remains in the National Park of Monto Gordo and is a hikers paradise.
The more popular and visited island of Boa Vista is a contrast to São Nicolau both in landscape and atmosphere. Although attracting more tourists, Boa Vista is home to over 55km of dazzling sandy beaches and is well known for its shifting sand dunes. Further inland, the island has an almost lunar-like landscape with rock filled vistas and ancient ruins in the desert. Snorkelling here is also a delight with tropical fish, bright coral and mysterious shipwrecks along the coast. Humpback whales frequent the water here between the islands and can often be spotted between February to May.
The island of Sal sits to the most Easterly point of the archipelago and is a beach lovers paradise. Golden sands lapped by azure blue waters give a stark contrast as you wander further inland where more volcanic, lunar-like landscapes await.

I'm embarrassed to admit this to you, but I've just started tweeting. For those of you who are into Twitter, I'm embarrassed because it's taken me so long to get started. For everyone else out there, I'm just embarrassed to be a grown man using the word tweet.
Most of the tweets I've seen fall into one of three categories.
If you're as clueless as I was about Twitter, here's the lowdown. Twitter is a social network that allows you to post 140 character messages, or tweets, about whatever you want. It's like Facebook for people with ADD.
70% A running commentary on the details of daily life that only your mom would want to read.
Make that your mom & apparently millions of people on Twitter. My tweets, of course, fall into the useful information category that no one could do without. But maybe I'm biased.
Actually as much as I like to make fun of Twitter, I've learned some valuable life lessons over my past couple of weeks of tweeting.
1. Following is a choice.
In Twitter you don't see everyone's tweets, just those you choose to follow. You subscribe to follow an individual or organization. Their tweets (and other tweets they pass along or "retweet") are the ones that stream across your feed.
In the real world we all do the same thing. We choose who we listen to and who we don't. We all choose our influences. A guy named Solomon once wrote that people who hang out with wise people grow wise and companions of fools suffer harm.
2. Every word is precious.
On Twitter you only get 140 characters per tweet. It forces you to carefully consider each word. If only I used the same economy in my day-to-day conservations. Maybe then my mouth wouldn't get me into so much trouble. I guess that's why the Bible says to be quick to listen and slow to speak.
3. Once you say something, it's hard to take it back.
It is possible to delete a tweet, but by that time a boatload of people have already seen it and passed it on to their friends. Again this is just like my real life problem with my mouth. Things tend to pop out of it when I'm angry, frustrated or just trying to be funny. Way too often these are things I regret.
4. Everyone wants someone to care about the details of their life.
Why does Twitter have an estimated 145 million registered users? People have a deep desire to connect and be known. They want someone to notice and care about all of the silly little things they tweet.
The reality is that long before Twitter there was a God who knew us even in the womb, a God who knew every detail of every one of our days before even one of them came to be, a God who is for us not just in the big events but even in the minutia of everyday living.
What would happen if we invited that same God into our mundane moments by "tweeting" short prayers to Him about every little thing?
God, this coffee is so good. Thank you. God, that show was hilarious. God, I can't believe He just said that. How am I supposed to react? Hey God, nice sunset. God, I'm so bummed out, but I have no idea why.
A 17th century monk named Brother Lawrence called this practicing the presence of God. He believed that we could keep company with God throughout all of the small, seemingly insignificant tasks of the day.
It sounds crazy that a great big God would care about little old me and my boring life. But the more I try tweeting these tiny prayers, the more I'm convinced that not only am I following God, but He's also following me.
So whether or not you ever try Twitter, try dashing off a handful of tweet-like prayers this week and see what God will do.
>I think tweeting God is such a great idea. When I was a little girl grandmother told me that God cared about the smallest things in my life even the hair barrett that I was looking for at the time. I prayed and I found it. I done that kind of thing ever since, not just praying for lost items to be found, although I still do that, but praying over small things that I'm thankful for or worried about.

Casa Munich is a project doing two things at ones: a shoe shop and a small gallery. On the one hand, it is a space that collects the history of the brand and bring it in the centerpiece, the Museum Table. Old original models, work tools and dies talk about the brand and its strong link with tradition and craftsmanship. On the other hand, it is a shoe store where you can find limited edition collections and repair your Munich to leave them as new.


Provides 2.25-inches of lift without modifying existing suspension.
Fits 2WD & 4WD pickups 6-lug only.
Performance Accessories designed a 2.25-inch one-piece strut extension leveling kit for Toyota Tacoma pickups that corrects the front-to-rear stance of the vehicle. This leveling kit features a pair of one-piece heavy-duty ?-inch thick spacers that are laser cut and precision welded to insure the highest quality and fitment. Also includes machined differential drop down spacers and hardware.
Allows the vehicle to run up to a 32-inch diameter tire. This system works without the need of a coil spring compressor and can be installed in 1-2 hours and comes complete with everything necessary for installation.


According the the SteriPEN website, "SteriPEN products use ultraviolet (UV) light technology to purify water, destroying more than 99.9 percent of bacteria, viruses and protozoan cysts such as giardia and cryptosporidia.
The method has now been used for over one hundred years, and is currently used to purify drinking water by some of the largest cities in the world, including Seattle, New York (scheduled soon), Tempe, AZ and many others in North America, Europe and Asia. Ultra Violet light is also used by leading bottled water manufacturers to purify their source water."
I've had this SteriPen for a number of years but had only used it sporadically. I didn't need it on my 2010 wilderness trip to northern Canada because up by the Arctic Circle you don't need to treat your water. In the BWCA however it is the recommended practice and I choose to use the SteriPEN and was glad I did. I like this model because it takes readily available AA batteries. My NiMh rechargeable batteries lasted nearly two-weeks of treating over a gallon of water a day. I had heard stories of Steri-PENs not being dependable but we had no problems and I would recommend this as the most convenient method of treating water that I've ever used. The only negative aspect is that it is a fairly delicate item and needs to be given special care. I don't know if it would hold up to the rugged use an outdoor program might give it. What's your experience?
FINAL EVALUATION: Excellent! This meets all the criteria for a great backcountry product.

Likoma je ostrov na africkém jezeře Malawi. Má rozlohu 17 km² a necelých deset tisíc obyvatel. Ačkoli leží u břehů Mosambiku (asi 7 km od města Cobue), tvoří spolu se sousedním ostrovem Chizumulu a několika neobydlenými ostrůvky jeden ze sedmadvaceti okresů státu Malawi; hlavní město se jmenuje také Likoma. Dá se tak označit za exklávu Malawi v mosambických výsostných vodách. Tento stav vznikl proto, že v roce 1880 se na ostrově usadili anglikánští misionáři a ti dali při dělení Afriky přednost britské nadvládě před katolickým Mosambikem.

Ostrov je porostlý savanou, typickým stromem je baobab. Na Likomě nejsou žádné asfaltové cesty. Spojení s pevninou zajišťuje parník MV Ilala. Hlavními ekonomickými odvětvími jsou rybolov, pěstování rýže a manioku a turistika. Ve městě Likoma se nachází katedrála svatého Petra, třetí největší chrám v Africe.

Q: How to build MDX query for two periods of time? I have the following MDX:
SELECT
  NON EMPTY
    {
      [Measures].[Returns]
     ,[Measures].[Returns]
    } ON COLUMNS
 ,NON EMPTY
    {[Employees].[Company].[Company].ALLMEMBERS}
  DIMENSION PROPERTIES
    MEMBER_CAPTION
   ,MEMBER_UNIQUE_NAME
   ON ROWS
FROM
(
  SELECT
    StrToSet
    ("[Exec Date].[Hierarchy].[Month Num].&[2014]&[1]"
     ,CONSTRAINED
    ) ON COLUMNS
  FROM [cbSales]
)
WHERE
  IIF
  (
      StrToSet
      ("[Exec Date].[Hierarchy].[Month Num].&[2014]&[1]"
       ,CONSTRAINED
      ).Count
    = 1
   ,StrToSet
    ("[Exec Date].[Hierarchy].[Month Num].&[2014]&[1]"
     ,CONSTRAINED
    )
   ,[Exec Date].[Hierarchy].CurrentMember
  );

Both columns shows returned data for month 2014/01
I want to have data for the next month (2014/02) in the second column.
How can I change the query to achieve my goal.

A: I'll try to replicate with AdvWks cube, so currently not tested:
WITH
  MEMBER [Measures].[ReturnsNextMth] AS
    (
      [Measures].[Returns]
     ,[Exec Date].[Hierarchy].CurrentMember.NextMember
    )
SELECT
  NON EMPTY
    {
      [Measures].[Returns]
     ,[Measures].[ReturnsNextMth]
    } ON COLUMNS
 ,NON EMPTY
    {
        [Employees].[Company].[Company].ALLMEMBERS
      *
        [Exec Date].[Hierarchy].[Month Num].ALLMEMBERS
    } ON ROWS
FROM
(
  SELECT
    StrToSet
    ("[Exec Date].[Hierarchy].[Month Num].&[2014]&[1]"
     ,CONSTRAINED
    ) ON COLUMNS
  FROM [cbSales]
);

Something similar in AdvWks:
WITH
  MEMBER [Measures].[ReturnsNextMth] AS
    (
      [Measures].[Internet Order Count]
     ,[Date].[Calendar].CurrentMember.NextMember
    )
SELECT
  NON EMPTY
    {
      [Measures].[Internet Order Count]
     ,[Measures].[ReturnsNextMth]
    } ON COLUMNS
 ,NON EMPTY
    {
        [Sales Territory].[Sales Territory].[Country].MEMBERS
      *
        [Date].[Calendar].[Month].ALLMEMBERS
    } ON ROWS
FROM
(
  SELECT
    [Date].[Calendar].[Month].&[2008]&[1] ON COLUMNS
  FROM [Adventure Works]
);

This gives these results. I found this quite surprising as the sub-select seems to suggest we only have Jan-2008 available, but sub-select is a bit of a strange creature. This article explains: http://bisherryli.com/2013/02/08/mdx-25-slicer-or-sub-cube/. So our measure [ReturnsNextMth] still functions ok.

MCALLEN, RGV – The resignation of Kirstjen Nielsen as U.S. secretary of homeland security could not come fast enough for former San Antonio mayor and presidential candidate Julián Castro.
Nielsen's departure is one of a number of high-level changes the Trump administration has made at the Department of Homeland Security. Political analysts believe President Trump wants a more hardline approach to immigration.
"I watched DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen lead one of the cruelest immigration policies this nation has ever seen. She separated families. She caged children. She dehumanized those seeking asylum," Castro said.
Castro was secretary of housing and urban development in the Obama administration. He said that while Nielsen's departure is welcome, U.S. senators need to carefully monitor who replaces her.
"I say this without hesitation: As long as Donald Trump is in office, his cruelty will continue to infect the core of our government," Castro said, in an email to his supporters.
Julián Castro's twin brother is U.S. Rep. Joaquin Castro of San Antonio. Rep. Castro is chairman of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus. Through Rep. Castro, CHC released a statement in response to Trump's announcement of Nielsen's resignation and the appointment of Kevin McAleenan as acting secretary.
"Secretary Nielsen spent her tenure as DHS Secretary championing President Trump's cruel anti-immigrant agenda. Under her watch, children died and thousands of families were torn apart. Pregnant women were shackled and multiple suffered miscarriages," Rep. Castro said.
Rep. Castro said McAleenan's appointment as acting secretary is "deeply disturbing." He noted that McAleenan helped implement the Trump administration's agenda as CBP Commissioner.
"I have no doubt that he will continue to do so as acting secretary. I had previously called for his resignation after he failed to notify Congress about the death of a child at the hands of CBP," Rep. Castro said.
Congressman Vicente Gonzalez of McAllen is a member of CHC. In an interview with the Rio Grande Guardian and RGV Public Radio 88 FM last Friday, Gonzalez said heads must role at DHS. He made this comment in relation to President Trump moving customs officers from ports of entry to Border Patrol offices.
"It is sad this has become such a political issue. If you cannot plan for having a mass exodus you should be fired. He is effectively closing down the border by slowing down trade, slowing down tourism," Gonzalez said.
Congressman Henry Cuellar of Laredo said he is working with CBP to mitigate the impact of the reassignment of 750 CBP officers, 300 of which were taken from the Laredo Field Office, to Border Patrol sectors.
Cuellar said he has encouraged Commissioner McAleenan to bring these officers back to their normal roles. He noted that 300 of the 750 CBPOs – 40 percent – were reassigned from South Texas ports of entry. He said this was a disproportionate amount compared to other areas, and requested justification for such an action.
Cuellar said he also urged McAleenan to reassign more officers from the additional 19 field offices, so that the South Texas POEs can efficiently facilitate lawful trade and travel.
Given the increased demands of an already understaffed CBP, Cuellar also urged McAleenan to utilize officer and agent overtime resources to provide the agency with greater flexibility to ensure that there are enough frontline personnel assigned to address peak travel times and increased workload.
Cuellar said it was critical that ports of entry have the appropriate number of personnel to maintain CBP's core mission of antiterrorism and border security. Cuellar encouraged the commissioner to request additional funding to CBP overtime expenses. Increasing the number of overtime hours will help address border wait times and facilitate the flow of trade, the congressman pointed out.
To further help the situation, Cuellar said CBP should deploy volunteers and bring back retirees. Cuellar also urged McAleenan to expand CBP's transportation contracts with private companies to increase the capacity for transporting individuals from the field to stations for processing thereby freeing up more Border Patrol agents to address the significant rise in migration to the southwest border.
"It is absolutely essential that we bring back and retain CBP officers at our ports of entry in order to allow us to process legitimate trade and travel in an efficient manner," Cuellar said.
