Book Review: CHOSEN FOR POWER Women in Power Book 1 by Kathleen Brooks
Somebody is out to destroy Elle Simpson and everything in her life.
Elle has always depended on family to make her business run strong, but long work hours have left her without much of a private life. Just as Elle thinks she has met the potential man of her dreams, she also discovers an imposter determined to destroy her business and life. Can she trust this "Prince Charming" to help her defend everything she holds dear, or will she only leave herself vulnerable at the worst possible time?
Drake Charles's work in the fast-growing mobile technology field made him a wealthy, powerful man. But he quickly sheds the fame and publicity for a more private life that earns him the label as a man of mystery. Drake adds to that mystery every year when he hosts a masquerade ball for charity. It's also his best chance to find the one thing he really wants . . . true love.
Having met behind masks of anonymity, Elle and Drake enjoy a whirlwind night of romance that leaves them both wanting more. Elle's heart tells her to trust Drake, but years of fighting off business foes has taught her that anyone could be a potential threat. Will this new romance give them both a fairy tale ending, or spiral into a nightmare for the whole Simpson family?
Elle has worked hard to salvage her father's business and expand it with each of her sisters now having a branch. She has fought a male dominated business world and shown that she can quickly and effectively turn it around before. No surprise, she's independent, strong, and not very trusting. Then she attends the masquerade ball and meets Drake. He's a recluse tired of people after him for the money he's made with technology. They click only their relationship becomes a media issue, then it appears someone is trying to destroy Elle and all she's built up.
As with Brooks' other series, the characters have depth and personality, experience a range of emotions and conflicts. The pace is steady and the way Elle "wins" the day is from strength and strategy. She demonstrates the ability to succeed with perseverance. She does this with help of her best friend, Mallory, her sisters, Bree and Allegra, and her mother.
This is the first in a series of four featuring the other three young women. I look forward to reading them all as these women take on their respective worlds.

THE NUTCRACKER CONSPIRACY
A Thorny Rose Mystery #4
Scheduled for Release January 30, 2020!
Category: Adult Fiction (18 +), 388 pages
Publisher: Acorn Book Services
Content Rating: PG-13 (Lauren Carr's books are murder mysteries, so there are murders involved. Occasionally, a murder will happen on stage. There is sexual content, but always behind closed doors. Some mild swearing (a hell or a damn few and far between). No F-bombs!
Three years ago, the nation gasped in horror when the President of the United States barely escaped an assassination attempt that left two dead—the vice president's wife and the attempted assassin. Even after numerous investigations proved otherwise, conspiracy theorists argue that the assassin was acting on orders from the CIA, FBI, and every federal agency within a hundred miles of the capital.
Aspiring Author Dean Conway is the last person Lieutenant Commander Murphy Thornton wants to spend his Saturday afternoon when they end up at the same wedding reception table. While their wives tend to bridesmaid duties, Murphy is trapped listening to Dean's latest work-in-project—completing the manuscript of an investigative journalist who'd disappeared months earlier.
"She was number twelve," Dean says.
"Twelve?" Murphy asks.
"Twelve witnesses connected to or investigating The Nutcracker shooting have died either in an accident or suicide."
Two days later, Dean dies suddenly―but not before sending a text message to Murphy: "13"
Dean Conway is not well-liked and barely tolerated at the social gathering with friends of Murphy Thornton, his wife, Jessica Farraday, Dean's wife, Amy, and long time friend, Kenneth among others. As Jessica observes Amy and her husband, she has to question why Amy stays in such a miserable relationship. He doesn't work, he doesn't respect her, and he's a bore. Nobody quite believes his story of a conspiracy surrounding an assassination attempt at the production of the Nutcracker years before. Only then his car is tampered with, he's getting threats, and he dies when a bomb is left on his front step right after texting Murphy "13" as he is now the 13th dead in the conspiracy.
With all their connections to various government agencies, Murphy keeps getting the same message. The shooter was taken down and the wife of the Vice President died as his gun fired. No conspiracy. When Amy is implicated as the person with the greatest motive and much circumstantial evidence, Jessica and Murphy try to sort out the deaths following the Nutcracker performance. There are many false starts and conflicting information, but as they become targets, it seems Dean may have been on to something.
True to form, Carr has spun quite the tale with great characters and enough action and tension to keep the reader guessing. It all makes sense in the end. This is the fourth in the Thorny Rose Mysteries and some of the characters have history in previous series. No worries. This can easily be read as a stand alone. Fans of Lauren Carr will like this book - I certainly did.

MURDER BY PERFECTION
"Murder by Perfection is a wonderful read and a perfect to escape from the challenges of a busy day. Danger, intrigue, humor, and love all take their turn in this tale which will keep you reading into the wee hours." Review by Marilyn R. Wilson, Olio by Marilyn
Beware: Perfection has a dark side!
Frustrated with their busy schedules, Murphy Thornton and Jessica Faraday attempt to find togetherness by scheduling a weekly date night. The last thing Jessica Faraday expected for her date night was to take a couple's gourmet cooking course at the Stepford Kitchen Studio, owned by Chef Natalie Stepford―the model of perfection in looks, home, and
When Natalie ends up dead and Murphy goes missing, the Thorny Rose detectives must peel back the layers of Natalie Stepford's life to
discover that the pursuit of perfection can be deadly.
Murphy connects with an old friend from his navy academy days, Lt. Cromwell, who tells him a friend thinks there's something fishy going down somewhere. Lt. Cromwell ends up dead and Murphy wonders if it's related to the "something fishy." He and Jessica take a cooking class with a local chef, who has videos online, not just of cooking. Natalie Stepford is married and living in a beautiful home with her rich husband. She's the next victim, soon after she gives Murphy some information. He disappears, his motorcycle left on the side of the road. His father and twin, JJ, come to help find him, along with the government agencies already involved.
There are twists and turns with paths intertwining, some with historical routes, some with Kitty Kat and her playfulness, and of course there is Lt. Cromwell's family. All the dogs and Ollie add a bit of lightness as does JJ's panic and avoidance when it comes to his feelings. Another great read by Carr with inventive scenarios and a quick paced plot.

"The plot was original, fresh and fast paced in spite of the "traditional elements" employed which can normally be found in any other thriller of this genre. The USP of this story would be its unpredictability. When you think you have it all guessed up, the plot would change its course keeping you hooked. There were a lot of suspense twists and turns that kept the momentum up. Needless to say, the writing was simply perfect. One thing that writer needs to be lauded for is the humor she inculcated in the book. Minus those humorous parts, the book would have been one serious read." - Reviewer: Book and Ink
Five women with seemingly nothing in common are found brutally murdered in a townhome outside Washington, DC. Among the many questions surrounding the massacre is what had brought these apparent strangers together only to be killed.
Taking on his first official murder case, Lieutenant Murphy Thornton, USN, believes that if he can uncover the thread connecting the victims, then he can find their murderer.
The case takes an unexpected turn when Murphy discovers that one of the victims has a connection to his stepmother, Homicide Detective Cameron Gates. One wintry night, over a dozen years before, her first husband, a Pennsylvania State trooper, had been run down while working a night
shift on the turnpike.
In this first installment of the Thorny Rose Mysteries, the Lovers in
Crime join newlyweds Murphy Thornton and Jessica Faraday to shift
through a web of lies and cover-ups. Together, can the detectives of the
Thorny Rose uncover the truth without falling victim to a cunning
killer?

Book Review: YOM KILLER by Rabbi Ilene Schneider
No time is ever good for a family emergency,
but for a rabbi the period just before Yom Kippur is especially difficult. Yet even though the Holy Day is approaching, Rabbi Aviva Cohen rushes off to Boston to be at the bedside of her mother, who was found unconscious in her apartment at an assisted living facility. The big question is: was it an accident or an attack? The search for the truth uncovers everything from old grudges to family secrets to fraud - and possibly murder.
New owners of the assisted living setting and a growing concern with the rash of elderly who are dying. Natural causes? Rabbi Aviva Cohen and her ex-husband detective drive after the call that her mother is unconscious. As you might expect, things don't seem to add up. Another resident tells Aviva that her mother was typing up notes on something and she is looking for them, and then her mother's room is ransacked. Add in the niece hacker who now works for the FBI and taught the woman how to hide her files and back them up on thumb drives, the realization that the resident trying to find the notes is the same woman with a shady past with the family, and the pieces start to fall together.
What makes this a cozy mystery worth reading isn't that there are elderly people with no family members dying with unknown causes. What makes the story is the characters. Rabbi Aviva Cohen is a no-nonsense, and not the most religious, woman. She's a strong character, yet has issues - especially with her ex-husband wanting to get back together. There is family conflict, secrets revealed among family members, and, of course, the mystery. The twists and turns as Aviva searches for answers with the occasional miss-step keep the pace steady and yield a few laughs. There isn't a lot of religion and you don't have to understand Judaism to appreciate the story. Yom Killer is the first in a series of three.

Adina signed up for Pilates because she wanted to get some exercise, not to find another body. Initially ruled an accidental death, the victim's business partner has her doubts, which are soon reinforced by a series of suspicious incidents. With no obvious motives or suspects, Adina sets out to identify the killer – with or without help from her favorite detective.
This relatively is the fourth in the Adina Donati, Accidental Sleuth Series, and on sale 1/15-22 for $0.99 or always FREE with Kindle Unlimited. Here are some of the reviews so far (on Amazon):
"Exercise is good for you, or so they said. So why is the Pilates instructor dead?

"Fit for Murder is the fourth book in the Adina Donati series and these books must be read in order. Seriously, start at the beginning of the series! These books are everything I could want in a cozy mystery series! If you've read the previous books in the series, you know Adina has a "gift" of being drawn into murders and then solving them. What I love is that this isn't a forced situation, it really does just seem to be her lucky/unlucky gift. The author does a great job of writing these situations, and she has created a fantastic character in Adina.
Adina is a strong female character with strong female friendships. I absolutely love this in a book! She is dating someone but he was a very minor part of the book this time. And, if you want to know my feelings about this guy, check out my previous reviews! Of all the books in the series, this one really felt like a strong woman book. There were so many great, diverse female characters and their interactions were just real-life interactions. Well, with a little murder thrown in, but you know, it's Adina's gift!"

Blog tour and Review: SILENCED IN SEQUINS : A Resale Boutique Mystery #2) by Debra Sennenfelder
Former Manhattan fashion buyer Kelly Quinn is turning her grandmother's outdated consignment shop into her quaint hometown's hot spot for upscale style—until her second-hand couture makes the scene of an ice-cold crime . . .
With her bottom line looking a little threadbare, Kelly is going all out to promote the Lucky Cove Resale Boutique. She's counting on Black Friday to recover her start-up expenses—including a website and an advertising blitz. But the publicity is overkill when two warring divas, and one sparkly evening dress, thrust Kelly and her fledgling business into a scandal she can't afford.
The gorgeous garment came to Kelly from the walk-in closets of Wendy Johnson, one of reality TV's Long Island Ladies. When Wendy's former co-star, Diana Delacourte, graces a Christmas gala in the dress that was once her rival's, a very public catfight ensues. But is Wendy to blame when sequin-clad Diana turns up dead? Dodging the show's ever-present cameras—and a detective's stern warnings—Kelly hunts for a killer before the powerful celebrity-suspect makes good on her threats and rips her to shreds . . .
Kelly is more than curious about Diana Delacourte's murder, but the last thing she wants is to become part of the reality tv hostile community. She doesn't exactly listen to Gabe or Detective Wolman when they warn her. All she wants is to make her grandma proud. Lots of complications and obstacles, possibly a love interest, and a good mix of tension.
This is my first in this series, though this is the second in the series. The characters are likable or not, as intended. The story can be read as a stand-alone mystery. There's enough back story to Kelly's friends Liv, Ariel, Pepper, and Gabe for the interactions to make sense. If you like cozy mysteries, you'll like this one.

Book Review: BLACK CAT AND THE SECRET IN DEWEY'S DIARY by Elaine Faber
In this dual tale of mystery, lost treasure, and riddles, while Black Cat narrates the exciting events in Fern Lake, Kimberlee discovers a cryptic clue in a diary about a hidden treasure, and heads to Austria to solve the puzzle.
When Kimberlee and Dorian arrive in Austria, they attract the attention of a stalker determined to steal the diary in hopes the clues will lead him to the treasure first. On a collision course, it is inevitable that Kimberlee and the stalker meet in Hopfgarten.
Black Cat and Angel's lives are endangered with the arrival of Kimberlee's grandmother in Fern Lake, and the return of a man presumed dead for twenty-five years. With both arrivals, emotional and financial difficulties loom for Kimberlee's family. Since their return to Fern Lake, Angel seems reluctant or unable to adjust to her new home. Does she regret leaving Texas and Grandmother? And, when the opportunity arises, will she decide to leave Black Cat and Fern Lake?
Black Cat is back home with Kimberlee, along with his love, Angel. Between them (each taking the credit), they prompt Kimberlee to read Dewey's Diary - a manuscript she bought. This takes her down a rabbit hole in search of a treasure. It's all complicated though by the murder of her neighbor, who surprisingly has left her half of her lodge, and further complicated by the return of the neighbor's husband after 25 years.
Faber created a story of two mysteries - the murder and the treasure. There is a steady pace with Kimberlee's husband, Brett (a mystery writer by trade), left to keep house and take care of their baby while she goes to Austria to find the treasure. With historical references to the troops at Normandy and World War II, Faber effectively wove mystery with history. Fans of Faber's other books will not be disappointed.

It's that time of the year once again - a time to reflect on the good and the not-so-good. Overall, 2019 was a good year on all work levels - the day job and the writing. Lots of accomplishments for sure and hopefully more to come in 2020.
On the plus side, publications in 2019 included:
Dogs and More Dogs, Another Murder (Sheridan Hendley Mystery #2)
Old Friends and New, Another Murder (Sheridan Hendley Mystery #3)
Deception, Denial & Murder (Stacie Maroni Mystery #3)
Plans for 2020 include the next in each of those series... I suspect that will keep me busy (and out of trouble)! Planned at least is the next in the Hannah & Tamar Series for tweens, teens, & YA, as well as a holiday - themed book for each of the other series...
I also now have a website! Check it out!
At a more global level, the frequency of hate, violence, and terrorism hasn't improved. It is sad to see the world and at home so filled with negativity. I am reminded of my high school years and the chant "Give Peace a Chance" often. At the very least, I suggest "Give Kindness a Chance" and pay it forward. As with a year ago, with all the turmoil here at home and abroad, I will strive to:
Be more positive and thoughtful of others
Be an advocate and help out others as best I can
Remember to engage in random acts of kindness
Be respectful of others and their opinions, even when I disagree
On a personal level, I can't avoid the tried and true: Eat better, exercise more, lose weight... I'll add in there, take some time to relax. And since I'm behind, catching up on the books I've read, but not yet reviewed. The promise for 2020 is huge, as I step out of full-time employment and into semi-retirement (translation = more time to read and write). I'm excited for what is ahead.
What about you? What will you be working on in 2020?
WISHING YOU A HAPPY AND HEALTHY NEW YEAR!

Dodging Dementia: More of Us Get at Least 12 Good, Happy Years After 65
Research shows an expanding window of good health for older adults
By Judith GrahamAugust 27, 2018
By Judith Graham
Credit: khn.org
Part of the Alzheimer's & Dementia: Personal Stories, Research, Advice Special Report
(Editor's note: This article originally was published by Kaiser Health News.)
You've turned 65 and exited middle age. What are the chances you'll develop cognitive impairment or dementia in the years ahead?
New research about "cognitive life expectancy" — how long older adults live with good, versus declining, brain health — shows that after age 65, men and women spend more than a dozen years in good cognitive health, on average. And, over the past decade, that time span has been expanding.
By contrast, cognitive challenges arise in a more compressed time frame in later life, with mild cognitive impairment (problems with memory, decision-making or thinking skills) lasting about four years, on average, and dementia (Alzheimer's disease or other related conditions) occurring over 1½ to two years.
Even when these conditions surface, many older people retain an overall sense of well-being, according to new research presented last month at the Population Association of America's annual meeting.
"The majority of cognitively impaired years are happy ones, not unhappy ones," said Anthony Bardo, a co-author of that study and assistant professor of sociology at the University of Kentucky-Lexington.
What Recent Research Also Tells Us
Most older adults don't have cognitive impairment or dementia. Of Americans 65 and older, about 20 to 25 percent have mild cognitive impairment, while about 10 percent have dementia, according to Dr. Kenneth Langa, an expert in the demography of aging and a professor of medicine at the University of Michigan. Risks rise with advanced age, and the portion of the population affected is significantly higher for people over 85.
Langa's research shows that the prevalence of dementia has fallen in the U.S. — a trend observed in developed countries across the globe. A new study from researchers at the Rand Corp. and the National Bureau of Economic Research finds that about 10 percent of U.S. adults age 65 and older had dementia in 2012, compared with 12 percent in 2000.
Because the population of older adults is expanding, the number of people affected by dementia is increasing nonetheless: an estimated 4.5 million in 2012, compared with 4.1 million in 2000.
The Connection Between Education and Dementia
More years of education, which is associated with better physical and brain health, appears to be contributing to this phenomenon.
But gains are unequally distributed. Notably, college graduates can expect to spend more than 80 percent of their lifetime after age 65 with good cognition, according to a new study from researchers at the University of Southern California and the University of Texas at Austin. For people who didn't complete high school, that drops to less than 50 percent.
This research looks at the older population as a whole and can't predict what will happen to any given individual. Still, it's helpful in getting a general sense of what people can expect — an expanding period of good brain health. With longer lives and lower rates of dementia, most older adults are enjoying more years of life with good cognition — a welcome trend.
Lifespan Improvements Since 2000
Two years ago, Eileen Crimmins, AARP chair of gerontology at the University of Southern California's Leonard Davis School of Gerontology, and colleagues documented this shift in the United States in research using data about adults 65 and older from the Health and Retirement Study.
In 2000, she found, a 65-year-old woman could expect to live 12 1/2 years with good cognition, four years with mild cognitive impairment and roughly 2 1/2 years with dementia, on average. A decade later, in 2010, the period in good cognition had expanded to roughly 14 years, with about four years spent with mild cognitive impairment and just over two years spent with dementia.
For men, the 2010 figures are different: 12 1/2 years with good cognition after age 65 (compared with roughly 11 in 2000); nearly four years with mild cognitive impairment (the same as in 2000) and just over one year with dementia (compared with almost two years in 2010).
Improvements in education and nutrition, better control of hypertension and cholesterol, cognitively demanding jobs in middle age, and social engagement in later life may all contribute to this expanded period of good brain health, the study noted.
Happiness as a Quality of Life Indicator
Well-being often coexists with impairment. Bardo's research adds another dimension to this literature by addressing two questions: Do older adults with cognitive impairment feel they have a good quality of life and, if so, for how long?
His study, which has not yet been published, focuses on happiness as an important indicator of quality of life. The data comes from thousands of adults 65 and older who participated in the Health and Retirement Study between 1998 and 2012 and who were asked if they were happy "all/most of the time" or "some/none of the time" during the past week.
These answers were combined with information about cognitive impairment derived from tests that examined older adults' ability to recall words and to count backward, among other tasks.
Findings suggest that cognitive impairment is not a deterrent to happiness. Of the period the people spent cognitively impaired, about 5 1/2 years on average, they reported being happy for roughly five years — about 85 percent of the time. Of the 12 1/2 years older adults spent in good cognitive health, they reported being happy nearly 90 percent of the time.
The bottom line: "Cognitive impairment doesn't equate with unhappiness," Bardo said.
Still, he cautioned that his study didn't look at how happiness correlates with the extent of impairment. Certainly, people with moderate to severe dementia experience serious difficulties in their lives, as do their caregivers, he noted.
Amal Harrati, an instructor at Stanford University Medical School, said Bardo's paper appears sound, methodologically, but wondered whether older adults with cognitive impairment can be trusted to report reliably on their happiness.
What Happens as Cognitive Decline Worsens
Langa of the University of Michigan said the findings "fit my general experience and sense of treating older patients in my clinical work." In the early stages of cognitive impairment, people often start focusing on enjoying family and being in the "here-and-now" while paying less attention to "small frustrations that can get us down in our daily lives," he wrote in an email response to questions.
"As cognitive decline worsens, I think it is more likely that one can become unhappy, possibly due to the advancing pathology that can affect specific brain regions" and behavioral issues such as hallucinations and paranoia, he added.
Jennifer Ailshire, an assistant professor of gerontology and sociology at USC's Leonard Davis School of Gerontology, noted that happiness is often tied to an individual's personality characteristics. This measure "doesn't necessarily reflect how individuals with cognitive impairment are interacting with other people or their environment," she commented.
Laura Gitlin, dean of the college of nursing and health professions at Drexel University in Philadelphia, observed that happiness is only one element of living well with cognitive impairment and dementia. Going forward, she suggested, "there is much work to do" to identify what contributes more broadly to well-being and a positive quality of life in older adults with these conditions.

Let's Camp for Peace 2014
Inaugural Address – John Jorgenson
At the end of every day in our summer camp, our campers and staff gather around the flagpole to lower flags and sing this song. With this Congress' theme of "Let's Camp for Peace", the words of this song seem very appropriate:
Build the Road of Peace before us
Build it wide and build it long
Speed the slow, remind the eager
Help the weak and guide the strong
None shall push aside another
None shall let another fall
Stand together sister, brother
All for one and one for all
This Congress here is but one resting place along the long trail we have created together. The greatest gift is that there are so many of us from so many different places sitting together in common purpose. Some of us are coming from countries where we are just setting off on the journey to build the camp movement and others from countries where it is well established. There is help and leadership available to the one and motivation to lead available to the other. Together we can share, inspire, learn and teach Together we journey, creating a wide and long road – all for one and one for all.
In 1987, camp leaders in North America thought that it might be a good idea to take a national meeting and send out invitations to other countries to participate. When these international delegates arrived, they discovered that they were a part of a world of camping that was unbelievably interesting and important. The ICF butterfly took off at that Conference. Chuck Ackenbom was one of the organizers of that event and we are grateful that is here with us today.
In 1994, ICF began its first partnership with national organizations and committees to help create and support a series of International Camping Congresses. That first Congress in Toronto, Canada (20 years ago this year!) began a strong tradition of growth and development in different parts of the world and in the ICF itself.
And now, here we are in Turkey. The Butterfly has landed and flourished in so many places over these years. We have accomplished great things and we can now find camp, camping and the camp feeling in so many lands, in so many languages and in so many cultures.
Let's camp for peace… We are on the threshold of something big; something special; something important. A big dream! – no question!. Too big? – not at all!
There are those who feel that we ought to design and run our camps more like the real world from which our campers and leader and come. We must train them to cope in challenging times and adverse conditions. We cannot do that in a place that is an escape from the real world. Camp should not be an oasis away but a reflection of the real world. We should show them how to be tough, resilient, strong…
In that 'real' world there are many, many challenges. In this room and in our organization, there are camping leaders who come from countries whose governments cannot or will not talk to one another. Together in this room and in our organization there camping leaders from countries with governments who struggle with extreme social and health issues, problems of child poverty, challenges related to agriculture and food production. Do we really want camps to reflect the real world? Perhaps the real world should be more like camps. In our camps, we can teach campers to be tough, resilient, strong…but in a different way… in a way that is compassionate, caring and filled with positive role models.
If governments operated like camp, there would be much more understanding, problem solving and conflict resolution. If governments went to camp, there would be much more healthy activity, much more sharing, much more collective work to improve conditions for everyone.
The ICF is growing and together we are all growing stronger, The ICF has met all this week and together we have made some plans. We must keep planning together and we need everyone's help to do so.
God may laugh at us (as he has with our plans for good weather here in Turkey) but we know that eventually the sun will come forth and eventually our plans will come to reality.
If our hearts are willing and our arms are strong then we will continue to achieve great things together. At our 2014 Board meetings, ICF has renewed its commitment to the following things:
Spread ICF services and programs around the world (ICDC, other specialized and customized trainings, research and research results, recognition for camping leadership everywhere, support for emerging camp communities).
Take on the work of re-writing our Constitution, By-Laws and Procedures. This has become necessary because now, after 25 years, we serve a much larger and more diverse membership. We will require a special general meeting for all ICF members explain these changes and to participate in the process.
Create more room for more volunteers and leadership within ICF – not simply at the Board level but more importantly, at the committee, special project, event and regional level. Everyone is welcome to participate in building this camping community.
Reach out to forge more strategic partnerships with like-minded and like-hearted organizations who can support us in word and deed. These are organizations with whom we share common objectives. These organizations can help us bring our message to a wider world of youth development so that more people can find a home in the ICF. ICF can become a more significant voice in the area of international youth development, global citizenship and environmental education.
Create many leaders. Pete Seeger was a songwriter and a song leader who loved camping. He reminded us that we should "Be wary of great leaders. Hope for many, many small leaders." Remember that we are working today with tomorrow`s leaders. Every one of them can become leaders in their own way. We must provide them with the very best tools – tools for their hands, tools for their heart and tools for their head, so that the world they build is right for their community, their country and their world.
Convey a key message through our camps: 'that we are not alone' and 'we do not stand alone'. Our brothers and sisters who are in our country and in other countries – deserve and need camp experiences and opportunities as well. As global citizens, with associated rights and responsibilities, we must not only plant seeds of friendship and understanding – we must water and nurture those seeds to help make them strong.
Mother Teresa reminded us that, in the end, even the ocean is made up of drops. Each drop, each effort, each act of kindness moves us to a place where we can truly make a difference. We move closer to a place where the difference is enough to effect change.
What can we do? What can our camps do? What can our campers do?
By forgoing a meal at a camp in one country to better support a camp for children in another, we make a difference. By planting trees… By raising money… By connecting to a sister camp… by even thinking together about how we can become better, we make a difference… All these drops in the ocean create a ripple. A ripple becomes a wave and a wave carries to a distant shore.
At the end of the conference, however, we must remember that our most important connection is not with one another here. It is not with the leaders who work so hard on our behalf and it is not with the camps and campsites that we create each year. In fact, our most important connection - and the thing that is at the heart of everything we do, everything we create and every decision we make must be the children we serve. It is these children who deserve our attention, our effort and our love…
At a conference much like this one, a former ICF President, Jack Pearse jotted down some notes from a presenter. Those words developed into a song. That song matches the theme of this Congress as well as the Rainbow of Peace poem that I shared with you at the beginning of this piece. Let us carry all that we have learned here away to the children – and for the children.
Picture a world with a rainbow of peace
Arching in splendor above it
Each colour and hue blending perfectly true,
Surely we can't help but love it.
What should we do to be sure, in each land,
That the rainbow of peace keeps on glowing
The richer we'll be if we walk hand in hand,
While our love and our friendship keep growing.
Now is the time and this is the place,
And we are the folks who believe it
Let's give and forgive for as long as we live
We know that we all can achieve it
For the children we'll sing, to the children we'll bring
A challenge to show us the way.
Let's open our eyes, for our destiny lies
Through the children, we'll reach a new day
And when we give our hearts to others
When we start to do our share
When we're sisters and brothers
Then we'll know we really care
– for the children

Sec 377 The Section that wasn't
854 Views Updated: 12 May 2018
When the British ruled India, they incorporated a few good changes that the modern day India thrives on. Such as a The Company Law, The indian Contract act Or even The Indian Penal code. there are also a few things that the British abolished,for instance the Dreadful sathi practice.
While they introduced plenty of handy laws and also abolished few of embarrassing ones, the British also introduced a few laws that are quite questionable, one of them is Sec 377, the law that prohibits homosexuality. In India, the transgenders (eunuchs) always existed. Especially during the Vedic period, which is considered to be quite a liberal period in India's long history, Eunuchs were treated equally.
The British have left India 70 years ago! And although they have left a few things in India like the British etiquettes or even the left hand drive, the sec 377 still prevails in India! The problem isn't about the introduction or the implement of this section, but the way people in India who have gotten used to the law and also presume that decriminalising or abolishment of sec 377 would be "against Indian culture"! But how can that happen? Because the law itself has been introduced by the Brits!
70 years after the British have left India, India still go on to think this law is justified and this doesn't need to be removed. The question still remains Weather the government or law gets decide what happens between two consenting adults in the privacy or in their close proximity.
The question also arises that how can something like love be illegal in a democracy? And although the efforts were made to amend the act in 2009, in December 2013, Supreme Court over ruled the earlier verdict
made by the Delhi high court. Another amazing or rather baffling fact about sec 377 is that, the punishment for homosexuality or unnatural sex is Jail term of upto 10 years! The jail term for rape is for 7 years. Which really is quite surprising.
Many activists tried to amend the law again after the 2013 verdict citing that many people have to face biased treatment due to their sexual orientation. But the court ruled that the people suffering from the law are meniscal minority (very few in number) and only amending the law for very few people isn't something the supreme court was in favour of. The supreme court also that amending such a law isn't in the courts hand and needs to get amended in the parliament.
which really should make us question ourself if our India is independent or it still colonised by its mentality which a few people term as "Indian culture" a culture should be a culmination of various traditions. It should be more like melting pot of cultures than anything else.
And only then can we call ourself united whilst being diverse..

Late tonight United shutdown its MileagePlus Gift Registry with some conflicting information on if it will be coming back. The official website says that the registry has been discontinued permanently while United's main site says that it's down for maintenance. If the registry website is to be believed then the end of the registry is here.
The United MileagePlus Gift Registry was a place where you could buy and send miles to recipients, much like a traditional wedding registry. The program was nice as it allowed people to accept miles from anyone for use on United's flights, but it came at a steep cost. If you wanted to transfer miles they would charge you $15 per 2,000 miles transferred and if you wanted to buy miles it was $35 per 1,000 miles plus a 7.5% tax. Both of those options wasn't something that I would use often but it would be a nice gesture for people to gift miles to put towards a honeymoon or vacation.
While there isn't an official word from United on the reason of the shutdown or if it'll be coming back all we can presently see if that United has discontinued the service. Many people are questioning if they had balances through the gift registry how they will be able to use or transfer any remaining credit.
For now there are a lot of unanswered questions and we will keep this post updated as we learn more information.

We, Wilhelm, by the grace of God King of Prussia, do herewith declare that we have considered it a duty to our common fatherland to answer the summons of the united German princes and cities and to accept the German imperial title. In consequence, we and our successors on the throne of Prussia will henceforth bear the imperial title in all our relations and in all the business of the German Empire, and we hope to God that the German nation will be granted the ability to fashion a propitious future for the fatherland under the symbol of its ancient glory. We assume the imperial title, conscious of the duty of protecting, with German loyalty, the rights of the Empire and of its members, of keeping the peace, and of protecting the independence of Germany, which depends in its turn upon the united strength of the people. We assume the title in the hope that the German people will be granted the ability to enjoy the reward of its ardent and self-sacrificing wars in lasting peace, within boundaries which afford the fatherland a security against renewed French aggression which has been lost for centuries. And may God grant that We and our successors on the imperial throne may at all times increase the wealth of the German Empire, not by military conquests, but by the blessings and the gifts of peace, in the realm of national prosperity, liberty, and morality.

'SOLO' Writer Anticipates a Sequel will Not Happen
With SOLO: A STAR WARS STORY recently hitting digital, co-writer Jon Kasdan anticipates that there will most likely not be a sequel to the early adventures of everyone's favorite smuggler.
Kasdan, in a series of tweets, talked about his thoughts of a potential sequel:
To be honest, I think the challenge has much more to do with the foreign box office than the U.S.
Personally, I think there are great Star Wars movies to be made that don't need to cost quite so much. Hopefully that will be the trend in the years to come, and maybe, just maybe that trend will allow us, one way or another, to tell more stories with Alden, Joonas, Emila and Donald. With those actors and RH, I would jump at the opportunity. Given the way Hollywood, and the culture at large, seem to run from anything labeled a disappointment, the odds seem like they're against it happening anytime soon. But, I suppose, Han wouldn't have it any other way.
Kasdan's thoughts are probably in-line with rumors back in June with Lucasfilm putting any STAR WARS spin-offs on-hold.
Though, personally, though there's no doubt that the foreign box-office and budget is playing a part in Kasdan's suspicions, but for me, it's probably because SOLO just wasn't a good movie.
I talked briefly about this in my pseudo review for the movie. But they could've done so much more with SOLO. Mainly, the big points in the movie could've been a trilogy in it of itself. And with lead Alden Ehrenreich having signed on for 3 movies, there was clear intent for a trilogy.
But look at it like this, SOLO featured meeting Chewbacca, meeting Lando, and the Kessel Run. You have your trilogy right there. But instead the powers that be jammed all of that into one movie, and as a result the significance of all 3 moments suffered as a result, even half-assed.
Even with SOLO earning almost $393 million worldwide, sounds like it still resulted in over $50 million in losses for Disney.
Personally I would love to see more about Han's early days. So I definitely hope there's a sequel. Just real in the budget, and be smarter about the long-term game for the story and the franchise as a whole.
But we'll see what happens.
What are your feelings about potentially not having a follow-up to SOLO? Drop your thoughts on the Fuzzybug Facebook Page.
SOLO: A STAR WARS STORY is now available on digital on your favorite services like iTunes and Amazon, and hits Blu-Ray on September 25th.

Article writing is a legitimate way to promote your online business and ensure a good supply of targeted and interested traffic arrives at your site and you can consequently make money at home.
The headline is important for any article that you write to promote your online business but what if people get into your article and find that what you are writing about is rubbish. What does this do for your online business promotion? Does this help you make money at home?
It flaws it and weakens it and this is not what you are trying to do as your key objective of writing articles is to be informative and to drive interested and targeted traffic to your web site. So writing inferior articles defeats the purpose of your primary goal and this should always be considered before submitting an article to the Ezines.
To create your intriguingly interesting article content you need to learn to keep on track and although some people are pushing out a thousand and one articles every twenty four hours with some article creation machine there is no comparison between these and a well thought out and delivered article.
Another advantage of keeping on track when writing your article is that people will follow what you have to say right to the end of the article and this will lead them to your website link. If they then enter your link then there is a fair possibility that they will end up doing business with you.
Another issue that you may find when you are submitting the same article to numerous Ezines is that you have issues with duplicate content. With all the information going around on the internet there is always potential issues that the exact same article will end up being on several different directories.
This probably wouldn't be such an issue if Google and other major search engines hadn't had to confront the problem and come up with a workable solution. The solution that they arrived at was to relegate 'duplicate content' in whatever form it was found to be 'junk'.
This causes major concern for the article marketer and the article directory owners. The directory owners seem to have overcome this issue to some degree by adding comments and other paraphernalia to articles within the directory so that they are never 100% the same as articles in other directories. They also have policy on authors being required to only submit original work.
As webmasters with our own blogs and Squidoo lenses etc it would be wise if we followed similar policy for our own sites as a way of ensuring they remain highly relevant to the search engines due to their uniqueness.
Article writers however have faced this problem some have decided to stay with only the top ranking article publishers and write unique articles for these recognized publishers like Ezines and Go Articles. This is a good option as you will build a base of readers who look forward to your articles being written knowing that they won't be found anywhere else. Your 'expert' status is probably the easiest to build using this method.
Some authors use the method above but then re write the articles after they have been accepted by the major publishers and then submit them to the article directories. This too is fine if you have the time to make the changes and you know what you are doing.
Others have not changed how they present their articles and have left the problem up to the directories. This isn't a bad option either but if you want to publish as wide as possible this option probably isn't the best because it will see some of your articles being rejected or removed because of duplicate content.
Article writers need to consider avoiding duplicate content and how best they can overcome the issues that face them in this area. The major issue though is content. Writers write on subjects that are relevant and they write to eventually become recognized as experts, even if you are an expert for the novice you want your content to hold up and be relevant and helpful to your audience.
This is the main aim of writing articles to create good back links for your online business website.
Real estate is one of the many possible ways of making money. Whether from investing or from being a real estate agent, many people are making a lot of money from the industry and if you have the desire to join them then you need to understand the business. Before you can invest in real estate there are several things that you need to know. Firstly, real estate is a long term investment. Secondly, you require a huge sum of money to invest in property, unless you are planning to earn money from being a real estate agent, and lastly the property you invest in needs constant management. The bottom line is you need to make a commitment in both time and money to succeed in the real estate business.
There are many things that you can do to make money from real estate, and you only need to find the channel that works for you.
Buying and selling of properties can be a great way of making a lot of money from real estate. One way that you can make money is by buying a home that is undervalued then selling it at a higher price. Buying homes that have been foreclosed can also give you some good cash if you renovate the house well. Most foreclosed homes are usually sold way below market price, if you buy the homes you may get back double the money you put in. The only trick with foreclosed home is to buy them early before they are listed as foreclosed.
Most people are using this strategy to make money from real estate. For you to rent houses you need to have management skills. You can buy a property or build one then you can rent the houses. You will then be collecting rent money from every tenant every month. This is a good way of making money. Leasing on the other hand is beneficial to those people who can't afford mortgages. You can lease a property, and have the option of getting the property for less money when the time is right.
If you don't have the money to buy a property, you can still make some good money from being a broker. The real estate agents get their money from the commission they get from the homes that they sell. The only requirement with becoming a broker is you need to have a license of operation. As a real estate agent, you can also earn money from being a consultant. With this business you will be giving people advice on properties and earning good money from that.
Real estate can be a great way of making money but it can also cost you a lot of money and time if you don't know what you are doing. It is thus important to conduct a market research of the available properties before buying them. Observe the market situation so that you can know the amount of money you will be required to part with if you decide to invest in property. You will also have to evaluate the amount of cash you have before you can buy a property. By knowing how much money you have and how much you are willing to part with will help you in knowing the kind of property that suits you. You will also be required to know your target market before investing. This will help you know how to remodel the property to be suited for the right market.
If you want to make a lot of money from real estate, it is advisable that you buy cheaper homes. This way you will either sell or rent at a higher price that is also favorable. If you buy an expensive home you will be required to sell or rent the house at a price that is too high, a move that may chase away potential buyers. The fact that you are buying a cheaper house does not mean that you have to buy houses that are of poor quality. It is good to consider the quality of houses so that you can determine the amount of money that you will be required to use in repairs.
Consult with the real estate professionals before investing in real estate. This will help you in making the right decisions. You may seek professional help in determining the quality of the property, and the current value of the property. You may also consult the professional to find out the period of time that you will have to wait to sell the property, and the amount of money that you expect to get from the property.


The NCA are being merged with another Quango, yet are tendering for a PR contract..
The National Consumer Agency (NCA) is tendering for a new PR contract even though it will be amalgamated with the Competition Authority, which retains in-house staff to deal with media questions, by the end of the year.
Some €550,000 has already been spent by the NCA on PR since 2007. Willie Penrose, Labour's enterprise spokesman, branded the decision to tender for a new contract "mind-boggling".
the current contract, to a FF company, was not awarded on a best price basis. Not that the winning tender could have known this,of course.
Since 2005, the quango has retained the services of Q4, a PR firm set up by Martin Mackin, a former Fianna Fail general secretary, and Jackie Gallagher, a former adviser to Bertie Ahern.
The tender document says the quango requires "specialist public relations support" in order to "assist it in the execution of its statutory functions in the area of consumer information, education, awareness and consumer law enforcement".
It also says the winning firm should be able to advise the NCA on "positive outcomes on core consumer issues" and "using expert knowledge of the external media . . . deliver proactive media campaigns".
The 12-month contract would not be awarded on a lowest price basis as cost concerns only made up 30pc of award criteria.
Nothing mind-blogging about that, perfectly rational. When you can spend other people's money without consequences, who cares, get some PR friends some work. Not that €500k would keep several special needs assistants in work for years. PR for consumer agency is much more important.
Brewster's millions rings a bell.
This one will be worse than the financial regulator,it could explode!Heres a regulator,wanting to go for long expensive P.R. lunches while grocery prices are the highest in Europe and Tesco make their highest margins in the world in this poor country.Where is there a good journalist?Get inside this and the Govt. would fall!! the info is there,"follow the money".
What happened to the National Savers Agency?

The not-for-profit organization La LIGA Nacional Contra el Cáncer, with its hospital Instituto de Cancerología (INCAN), is responsible for cancer treatment of much of the indigent population in Guatemala, a country with a population of 16 million. Annually, approximately 70% of patients at INCAN are seen in late stages of cancer, which places a great strain on the hospital's limited resources. Private clinics account for 75% of radiation therapy centers in Guatemala and have considerable resources. However, private facilities are fee-based, which creates a barrier for low-income patients; this is an especially significant problem in Guatemala, which has the highest income inequalities and poverty rates in Latin America. This article describes a project on the transition from cobalt to a Halcyon radiation therapy system at INCAN through a partnership with the US Agency for International Development's Office of American Schools and Hospitals Abroad (USAID/ASHA), Washington University in St. Louis (WUSTL), industry partner Varian Medical Systems, and the US National Nuclear Security Administration to provide access to state-of-the-art radiation therapy technology while increasing the overall treatment capacity for the underserved population of Guatemala.

Dr. Stephen Hawking, best selling author and physicist, did not let his physical limitations hinder his abilities to change the universe around him. Hawking passed away at 76, March 14 at his home in Cambridge, England.
From the Big Bang to Black Holes." It sold more than 10 million copies and inspired documentaries based off of topics mentioned in the book.
His own life story was portrayed in the movie, The Theory of Everything, in which Eddie Redmayne played Hawking. This movie ended up winning eight awards ranging from Academy Awards to Golden Globes, four of which went to Redmayne for his portrayal of Hawking.
Hawking battled ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis) throughout his life, which had caused him to need the use of a wheelchair. However, this had never slowed him down with his quest to discover the universe and where it came from.
He was diagnosed in 1963 as a graduate student at Trinity Hall. He was given only a few years to live.
ALS reduced his bodily function to only the flexing of a finger and voluntary eye movements but left his mental ability untouched.
Hawking will be remembered for many discoveries, notably that of the true nature of a black hole's explosion. Contrarily to the name, they are actually not black when exploding.
Hawking became the lead scientist of his generation in both gravity and black holes.
In 1973, his work hit a turning point that modified modern physics. Hawking applied the quantum theory to back holes. Hawking found that black holes would leak radiation and particles, fizzle and explode, disappearing over eons of time.
That calculation was known to scientists as one of the first great landmarks to find a theory on nature.
The only thing Hawking lacked to achieve was the Nobel Prize.

Tourist On "Ridiculous" Grammy Win, Learning From Diplo
Ahead of the release of his debut album, the UK producer and songwriter talks us through his collaborations and creative process.
By Lucy Shanahan
Self-effacing and quintessentially British, London-based musician Will Phillips, better known as Tourist, admonishes his own accolades. "I find it hilarious that I have a Grammy, it's ridiculous".
Phillips, who has collaborated with singer-songwriter Jessie Ware, Olly [of Years and Years] and Diplo, to name a few, picked up the Song of the Year Grammy in 2015 for "Stay With Me", which he co-wrote with Sam Smith and Jimmy Napes. Now Phillips is stepping out on his own, backing up two EPs with his solo debut album, U, out May 6th via Monday Records.
Phillips' new record is a cathartic pursuit, it tells a story that ruminates on the end of a relationship. It's not accusatory, a choice he made consciously. "I had the idea to call it 'You', but it was almost like I was pointing the finger. 'U' is a nicer way of saying that; it's this kind of unfinished, symmetrical shape. Two people who start off in the same place and then end up in their separate parts."
We recently caught up with Phillips to talk about his writing process, what he'd be doing if he weren't a musician, and what he looks for in creative partnerships.
What were you hoping to achieve with the album?
I think I was just making sense of things in my head. I fell in love with a girl and it didn't work out. It's like a journal, it's not specifically happy or sad, it's just reflective. For this record, I wanted to do something that was based in a narrative, that was truthful, and that was drawn on my experiences. In terms of what I was trying to achieve, I don't know, maybe just to write some good music. And I think the fuel for that music were all of those feelings and thoughts that I'd had relating to that relationship.
How has the album evolved from your previous EPs?
I tried to take from different sounds I explored on the EPs. My first EP was uplifting and happy, I imagine it was because I was in an uplifting and happy place. My second EP was darker and more influenced by London, which is where I was living at the time. I had no money, I was living with my mum, I was writing music in my bedroom. It felt more reflective and personal. So I think I took those two opposing sounds and tried to find a line between them.
Were there any standout moments for you where you felt like you'd broken through to the honesty you were going for? Where you listened back and you thought 'yes, that's exactly what I was trying to say!'.
Yeah, I think each piece of music on the record is my nearest attempt at being honest. I wrote about 30 pieces of music and then I whittled it down to 10, and those 10 were the ones that when I wrote them I was like 'wow, this is really making me feel something'. And I didn't care whether I thought they'd be successful or whether they'd resonate with other people. But the songs that ended up on the album were all the ones that I thought meant something to me. I'm proud of this. I want to hold it up in front of myself and say, 'yep, this is something I'm proud of doing'.
What was the most memorable experience you had making U?
I distinctly remember finishing it. 'Run' was the last song I wrote. I remember being like 'shit, I've done it. I've just written an album.' For any musician, if they can sit back and feel a sense of no one having interfered in that process, of no one having compromised it, and it feeling completely true, then, that was the feeling that resounded with me. And I felt peace. I can really put that relationship to rest.
You were playing music at a young age, were your parents musical?
No not at all, not in the slightest. They were very encouraging of my music only because it kept me out of trouble. My mum does an important thing, she looks after people who have dementia. My dad's always worked in property. I have three sisters and none of them are into music. It's just me. The rest of my family are doctors and lawyers and successful, but I'm just Little Weird Will Phillips, who writes music.
How did you decide that you wanted to pursue music? Was there a turning point for you?
I never had any other option, really. Not that I ever thought I was going to be successful, but I always knew that I loved doing it. I have very early memories of being naive and expressing myself, and they really resound with me. It's the only thing I've ever done that's brought me real joy. I've had jobs, I worked in a coffee shop, I worked at the Apple Store, but I never had any other big career plans because I knew that music was something that I loved, and I thought maybe if I worked hard enough, it'd happen. I'm very lucky that it did happen, but I've always worked really hard at it.
What would you be doing if you weren't a musician?
I'd love to be a neuroscientist but I'm just not clever enough. I love science. I never worked hard at it at school but as I got older I realised how beautiful and poetic it is. It's the description of the universe. I pursue art, and that for me is a way of getting very close to what's real and true about the human experience. I think science is exactly the same, but it's not about subjective experience, it's about objective experience. I'm getting metaphysical. Maybe a scientist. I'd like to be a scientist. That'd be cool.
Touching on your Grammy win, such a fantastic achievement, congratulations. Has it changed your trajectory professionally?
I think, a Grammy is like a medal. To some people they mean something and to others they don't. For me, if you want to work with me because I have a Grammy, that's the wrong reason to work with me. If things aren't working in a studio with someone musically, I can't just turn to my Grammy and it gives me the answers. It's a funny little compliment, but it doesn't mean anything in the real world. It certainly has meant that certain people want to work with me, but does that mean I've written really good music? I don't know, probably not. I try not to think about it, it's tucked away in a cupboard. As soon as I start thinking that's who I am, it starts becoming not about music, but about expectations. I don't want to be governed by my previous successes.
So it doesn't make an appearance at family dinners?
No, I mean only when I'm wrong in an argument. So I just hold it up, and I'm like, 'well, I won this'.
You've written for lots of musicians and collaborated with others, what do you look for in a creative partnership?
I like working with people who clash with me in a way. If I worked with people that you'd expect, the song's almost already written before you sit in a studio with them. I try to work with people where there's a bit of friction, a good friction – a kind of coalition of ideas. I just love being in awe of other people. I love that feeling of basking in their talent.
What do you think the best collaborative experience you've ever had was?
I really liked working with Jesse Ware. She's a marvellously talented person and a really good human being. I really liked working with Olly from Years and Years, he's a sweetheart. He's so talented and honest. It's just nice when you make friends. You go to the studio and you expect to make music, but if you make friends, that's even better. I really enjoyed working with Diplo as well. He's a really talented, thoughtful person. He comes across as not that, but he really is. He's intelligent about music. He's taught me a lot, I really cherish that.

This study sought to increase knowledge as it relates to HIV-prevention for older adults, especially for MSM who are HIV-negative. In participating in this study, participants shared their experiences, stories and feelings related to their exposure to HIV and HIV-prevention initiatives. Using a Traditional Grounded Theory method, 22 interviews with older MSM were conducted with the aim of producing a theory that explained how these men lived prior to HIV, the different ways they responded to the onset of the virus, how they have lived their lives over the last three decades, and the extent to which the virus continues to impact their lives.
