Tell the devil I said hey when you go back to where you're from.
Erin hasn't been long in Hoenn. Only a matter of weeks, in fact. Despite that, she feels like it's been forever since she first set foot in this city of rubber and new promises. From pulling heists and vandalizing New Mauville to finding herself a new apartment and building a team of her liking, the young woman barely had any time for leisure nowadays.
Which isn't all too bad, honestly. It made her feel productive, despite the relative quiet on their boss' side.
She's on her way to receive details on a new mission, but figures there may be some hidden treasures buried beneath the broken down carcass of this city. Erin distinctly remembers the higher-ups being on permanent lookout for such resources.
Fortunately, or perhaps unfortunately, it seems she's not the only one to think that way.
"First dibs on anything interesting."
The Porygon2 levitating next to her offers an unintelligible robotic sound of its own. Though uncertain of their alliance, she knows of League officials trying to sneak in to steal what Rocket had stolen first. In a worst case scenario, her greeting—if one could even call it that—could appeal to both factions.
Back in business after his presumed death.
With at most half a year spent all by himself up on mt. Pyre, socializing felt rather odd to him, fact is, wearing decent clothing felt odd. He wore what he would usually wear, a formal suit. Though it did look a bit off with one of his sleeves dangling limply due to his missing appendage.
As for business, he was finally assigned with a mission for the very first time since his return. Something simple enough, perhaps to check on his loyalty.
"Dibs on anything important." He replied.
His espeon traversed through Slateport beside him, already rummaging through rubble by telekinetically lifting derbi with its psychic abilities. Mostly, they were bits of various rocks and boulders.
At least, it seemed as though their sacrifices weren't as futile as he initially thought. For Slateport was theirs, and he's content with that thought.
[attr="class","post"]it's a victory. hollow, but they all are these days, so he'll take it while he can.
he feels no remorse over the city-turned-rubble; he simply sees it for what it is. an opportunity. he scours the ground for anything of use while his noivern goes one step further and can be found digging around the chunks of concrete with her snout. he's done this enough times on the job (rummaging around, that is) to know that something valuable may be lying in wait.
the pair he happens upon come unexpected. he'd thought this place was as good as a ghost town right now. he assumes rocket, perhaps quite boldly, simply because he doesn't give the league enough credit to be doing anything other than hiding with their tail between their legs. besides, if they're not people he's come across during work, then chances that they're a major threat run slim.
he catches the tail-end of their conversation and lets out a sound between a laugh and a scoff.
"you're having a laugh if you think a rocket's going to listen to dibs."
there's no spite in his voice, but it'd be easy for them to get the wrong idea. nonetheless, he carries on with his search, motioning for vega to turn over some nearby debris.
No hostility and no flinching back in surprise. Safe enough, she concludes. She may not recognize the man, just as she wouldn't have recognized most Rockets she's come across in this new region, but he doesn't seem to be a threat for the time being. Erin turns to face the newcomer.
The missing arm is noticed immediately, but her gaze doesn't linger. She'd rather have him thinking she didn't notice it.
The second intruder's response brings a smile to her face. That's more the kind of answer she was hoping for. She expected her conversation starter to eventually thin out some information. There's room for interpretation, of course, but already she has something to go off on.
She doesn't take the bait. Instead, she offers an idle comment as she scans both of their pokémon, not looking back at the trainers' faces to even watch their reactions. "Looks like we're here for the same reason, then. Though one of us may be overdressed."
An espeon and a noivern. Quite decent choices. Couldn't beat her own choice in companion, however. "Done rendering, Siri?"
over the last couple of minutes is all the confirmation she needs. Bright blue dots blink where the Porygon2 found structures of density different than concrete and light emissions of radiation. These would likely be salvageable devices.
Erin lets the others catch a glimpse of the map, mostly because she's showing off. The other reason is that she doesn't want to stay around long and the more hands on the job, the faster she'd get to report to HQ for her new mission.
"Any of these look important?"
"They don't have to listen. Fact is, they dont have to know. " He replied as he raised his hand to catch the silver necklace his espeon had thrown at him. He rubbed the necklace against his pants to dust a bit of dirt away and wore it without hesitation.
He had kept things from missions to himself ever since, little souvenirs as he calls them. What should Rocket expect from a group of criminals, after all? As his espeon moved over to rummage through another pile, purple-top's porygon2 had already scanned the place. Her porygon2's holographic display shown blue dots around the area, all of which could potentially be what they're after.
"Start with what's closest?" He suggested with a devilish grin as he pointed towards a noticeably larger pile of rubble only a few feet ahead of them.
"We'll need bigger equipment." He added, hoping one of them had a pokemon to ease the excavation process, if not, he'd have to get his hippowdon out.
[attr="class","thread"]it's a neat trick, he has to hand it to her. marcel watches the pokemon with a concealed fascination. quickly, he takes out his tablet and takes a picture, moving his attention elsewhere as the device begins to convert it into his own digital copy.
he's grateful that these two appear to be team players. for now, anyway. he's playing the game as much as they are, they're allies for as long as it suits them. he nods along to the white-haired man's suggestion. seemed like the simplest solution. in the meantime, he could get a better sense of this map once it loaded.
marcel doesn't answer to the next comment, letting actions speak for themselves. he keeps vega out, simply because he's used to having his main partner around, but takes out a pokeball to release his nidoking. cepheus' tail swings side-to-side at a slow rhythm, peering around as he waits for his trainers command.
"the more the merrier." it's a light suggestion that the other two release some of their own pokemon. with more at work, they could make their way through all this debris quicker and (he hoped) reap all the more rewards from it.
He does it in the most subtle of ways, but Erin notices it. It's not her first time dealing with people looking to steal her hard work. The glint in his eyes and the shifting angle of his tablet gives him away. "You could have just asked for the source program." The comment is casual, despite its implications. Like his, her gaze soon turns elsewhere; to the pile the other man pointed towards, in fact.
"Siri, send the other gentleman a copy, too." Whatever device the man had on his possession for communication, the Porygon2 would attempt to establish a connection to send him a 2D version of its map. Even if the device in question didn't have bluetooth on, the synthetic pokémon would force it to activate for its needs.
She should probably warn him about that, for his safety. A hum. Maybe later, if he didn't notice it himself first.
. Erin makes a mental note to train him on stealth next. Their endurance training was going well. One more module wouldn't hurt. She knows her meowth would have benefited from the strict regime she was submitting her latest captures to.
Erin nods at a second pile of rubble, one of the many dots blinking in Siri's map, before walking straight in the opposite direction. The aggron moves forward. "You might want to step back." She knows she doesn't want to be too close when Avalon starts digging through it.
His phone buzzed, displaying the map Erin's porygon2 had scanned. A nifty little trick. With that, he was able to see the highlighted spots much clearer. It seemed like a nifty pokemon, perhaps he should scour for one sometime soon.
"I'll take this one. " He pointed back with his thumb, referring to another spot Erin's porygon2 had highlighted.
It seemed as though they were all taking a pile of their own, it was only logical for Lucius to take one for himself for a faster job. Speaking of bigger equipment, it won't be complete without his hippowdon. The hippowdon began to dig through his chosen pile of rubble as his espeon remained to assist the hippowdon should it strike anything of value.
"Y'all got anything so far?"
[attr="class","thread"]he keeps his face impassive as a download forces its way onto his screen. it's pride that moves his hand as he swipes the window closed in favour of his own copy. he doesn't say anything to the woman.
his nidoking is surprisingly careful despite its size, though there is a brutal efficiency to its movements. cepheus makes short work of the pile, brushing off more and more rubble as marcel silently motions when to stop and resume. he raises a hand slightly. several pokeballs can be seen among the newly exposed wreckage. he takes them from the pile, though one misses his hand and rolls onto the ground, and each is checked.
all empty. but in working condition, it seems. he places them in a bag for later.
"nothing special," he responds. the role of supervisor has been transferred to his noivern; the pokemon watches intently as the other continues to dig. marcel's focus is back on the map, already planning out which area to sift through next.
It's all trash to her. Old phones, a tiny power bank, a digital wrist watch, and a lighter that won't start even the smallest of flames. They could all be given new uses in Rocket, for sure, but they're all such boring finds. Even if she could—she, in fact, can—repurpose bits and pieces of each device for new creations, she much prefers working with brand new parts.
Erin turns the small device in her hand. What is the deal with this thing, either way? Siri had specifically filtered their scans for radiation levels. Traditional lighters have none of that.
A thoughtless answer is sent their way. The exact words formulated on her lips are forgotten as soon as they take their exit. It's probably just another no.
She opens the lighter once more. Her index finger finds a button on its side, imperceptible save for the thin line separating it from the rest of body. She presses it and nothing happens. A closer inspection of the device's side reveals what would have immediately struck her as a screen, had it been turned on.
Unfortunately, the electric lighter's battery is out.
She dumps it next to the phones and the watch and the power bank that had by then multiplied to two. Her gaze is fixed on the small hoard of devices lying next to her feet when she speaks up again. "Anyone have a bag to put these all in?" They definitely don't fit inside her purse.
Lucius sighed, clearly irked by the lack of, well, anything.
"I guess we take any metal for now; beams, poles, they'd be repurposed. Aren't we supposed to rebuild this place up?"
His hippowdon kept on digging until finally Lucius audibly heard it stop. A loud crash sounded akin to that of something caving in, muffled for being underground, as a pile of rubble fell down from where his hippowdon initially dug.
"Basement?" He murmured to himself.
He took a peek down, down the hole his hippowdon made through the rubble, where he saw his hippowdon buried in rubble, the floor seemed clean, tiled neatly even aside from a few cracks. His hippowdon stood back up, shaking any ruble that settled on top of it.
"Basement." He'd confidently say. Thank god for his hippowdon's ability to dig.
[attr="class","thread"]the sound has marcel whirling round with the command for an attack on the tip of his tongue. he searches the surroundings for a possible enemy, but nothing catches his attention. he sees lucius at the edge of a drop and curiosity drags him closer.
he walks over to the edge of the hole and peers down. it looks surprisingly well-kept for a basement, minus the landslide of clutter they'd just unleashed upon it. "i don't know about you two, but i'm checking it out." maybe they would find something worth their time after all.
"vega." the noivern had been listening to the interaction since the crash, and wasted no time in flying over to marcel. he leaps onto her back in a smooth motion he's done so many times before it's practically second nature, and lets her carry him down into the basement below.
he's scouring the place the moment his foot touches tile, his step's echoes thrown into disarray by the debris.
How problematic. An entire underground basement to dig through is the last thing Erin wanted to find today—not because of what they could potentially find, but because it would take a while. She's never been late to a mission debriefing before. That said, she can't argue that she's intrigued.
The sooner they went through it, the sooner she got to leave. Though perhaps she wouldn't need to leave leave on her own. She eyes the two men, already on their way down.
Erin doesn't have a noivern to glide her towards the basement, but she very much would mind getting any spots of dirt or dust on her clothes. She returns her aggron to his pokéball and calls for her Porygon2 again.
to lower its trainer to the basement.
"Are you boys busy after this? I could use some extra hands in a certain strike mission." She also wouldn't mind them carrying their loot all the way to one of Rocket's storages.

International Women's Day: How much progress has been made?
Despite heightened awareness around the importance – and widespread benefits – of gender equality at work, many organizations still don't treat women fairly when it comes to promotions, access to leadership positions and, worst of all, having their voices heard.
Although a 2016 McKinsey & Co. study reported that more than 75% of CEOs list "gender equality" as one of their top 10 business priorities, women are less likely to receive a promotion or be on a path toward leadership. According to the study, U.S. companies promote 30% more men than women during their early career stages, and women in entry-level jobs are more likely to spend five or more years in the same role.
It's not all doom and gloom, though. Progress is being made and there are companies that treat people equally and serve as great role models for what can be. Ultimate Software is an example of a company that is passionate about gender equality in the workplace, and it ranked #1 on Fortune's Best Workplaces for Women list in 2018. In fact, 50% of its employees are women, and 50% of them hold leadership roles.
Discrimination against women is not only prevalent in the workplace – it is also evident in top-level sports. But Canadian professional golfer, Brooke Henderson, is determined to prove doubters wrong.
To help herself stay motivated and moving in the right direction, Henderson sets small goals along the way. She also focuses on three Fs: family, friends, and faith. According to Henderson, family had the biggest influence on her career – her mom as her biggest cheerleader, her dad as her favourite coach, and her sister as a huge role model.
Listen in as women leaders share their journeys to leadership roles in the upcoming webinar on March 19, Balance for Better: A Women in Leadership Panel.

The recent IRS scandals bring to life the human behavior that happens within the government, but also at companies of all sizes. Preparation for these kinds of scandals can help your company in the event that the stuff ever hits the fan.
Initial indications make it appear most likely that individual agents in one office took it upon themselves to place extra scrutiny upon organizations with whom they disagree ideologically. How they thought they would not get discovered raises a logical concern that they had made an educated calculation that they could get away with such criminal activity. That is another problem (and a big one), but let's set that aside for a moment and assume the guilty were acting on their own and within a bubble of arrogant and ignorant power.
This type of problem is one of the most difficult for us to plan for as we operate our own businesses. What if one of your employees steals and sells credit card numbers of your customers? Do you read all of your employees' emails to make certain they are not starting a competing business using your trade secrets while working for you? What do you do when it is discovered that one of your employees has been covertly capturing video of people using your establishment's restroom?
Some problems you just cannot plan for, but you can build some checks and balances into your business to prevent many such problems or at least minimize their duration and impact. First, set clear policies for the behavior of your employees. Second, split responsibilities in such a way that critical elements of activity are overseen by more than one person.
For example, split the responsibilities of receiving and issuing checks from your business account, or as came up in a RISE panel this week, don't put your IT guy in charge of security of your online and digital data.
And finally, create and maintain a crisis management plan. By simply thinking ahead about the problems you are most likely to face and having even an outline of a plan in place regarding the actions you will take if a crisis occurs, you will increase your likelihood of detecting the crisis early and minimize its impact by reacting quickly.
It is improbable that your company will ever be hated as much and by as many people as the IRS. But guard your reputation by taking some simple steps to detect and recover from problems that occur within your company with or without your knowledge and participation.
#FitchTheHomeless: will Abercrombie please shut up?
With this insane IRS filing contradiction, how do business owners file 1099s this year?
I thought the lesson for business was if you have a business and political leaning, you should probably duck for cover.
Yes, remote desktop technolgies like on premise R-HUB remote support servers allows one to remotely connect computers from home. It provides better security, lower remote support costs, fast resolution to technical problems etc.

Your Personal Paparazzo at $3,000 a Day: 14 Specialty Services Catered to the Uber-Rich
Need a wine cellar built? How about guidance counselors for your Ivy League-bound teen? No problem, as these get-anything, do-everything, ultra-VIP fixers cater to every whim.
By Lesley McKenzie
Whether you're applying to grad schools while in college or are looking to enter the workforce, there are necessary steps to take to ensure your career (and the rest of your life) begins without a hitch. Here, IvyWise CEO and founder Dr. Kat Cohen covers all the bases—from when to start the job search to how to perfect a grad school application—to help you transition from college to career.
Personal Paparazzo
Rocket Pictures' co-founder David Furnish recently turned to Los Angeles-based photographer Kevin Kendrick to photograph him, husband Elton John and their two sons. "The look of joy on Elton's face as he thumbed through the album of our beautiful sons was a memory that our family will treasure forever," says Furnish. For the past decade, Kendrick has documented intimate family moments for his star-studded client list (starting at $2,995 a day). The lensman, who is ready to hop on a plane at a moment's notice, also tags along on vacations (a four-day trip costs $15,000, plus travel expenses) to the likes of Moscow, Switzerland and the Bahamas, where he learned to scuba dive to photograph a client's deep-sea diving adventures. kpkphoto.com
Over-The-Top Organizers
Sharon Osbourne, Ghostbusters director Paul Feig and Bryce Dallas Howard swear by Justin Klosky of O.C.D. Experience, whose team takes on everything from household moves to digital inventory management. One celebrity family called upon him to photograph and catalog every item in its three homes. "He has such an expansive knowledge of technology and how to pair it with organization to simplify your life," says Howard, who entrusted Klosky with a major move when she and actor husband Seth Gabel were on location (a large move can run upward of $15,000). ocdexperience.com
Dream-Vacation Agents
Atherton, Calif.-based travel concierge Gwen Books of Gwen Books Lifestyle Management has been custom-tailoring holidays for her Silicon Valley-heavy client list since 2004. The most luxurious was a million-dollar vacation, which included two weeks on a superyacht. Says longtime client and Netflix CEO Reed Hastings of a recent excursion: "We arrived by boat at the Four Seasons Hotel Istanbul at the Bosphorus from the airport in Istanbul. Splendid traffic-beating ride." Adds Books: "We never say no." gwenbooks.com
Another make-it-happen travel concierge: Melissa Schwartz of Destination Happiness. Her clientele includes Mindy Kaling and Kerry Washington, for whom she booked a last-minute premium reservation in New York City. "It was the 40th anniversary of Saturday Night Live and Valentine's Day weekend. The city was full. I got Kerry a presidential suite because of my relationships." The hotel had to place last-minute guests Beyonce and Jay Z in another suite (the presidential was their long-standing preference) and walk Mick Jagger to the Carlyle. Says Schwartz: "I live for challenges." Contact: [email protected]
A Celebrity AirBNB
Oasis Collections, which made its L.A. debut in August, lets clients book a stay at one of its handpicked homes around the world (the company represents Francis Ford Coppola's property in Buenos Aires), paired with on-location, 24/7 local concierge services and access to local private clubs and golf courses (for up to $1,000 a night). Think Airbnb with the amenities of a luxury hotel. Adds CEO Parker Stanberry: "Oasis staff has arranged helicopter rides in Sao Paulo and Rio to avoid traffic and private jets to Punta del Este." oasiscollections.com
A Genius for Gifts
If it's more than a bottle of wine you're looking for, Simone LeBlanc's namesake company hunts down the rare and refined, from lost family heirlooms to woolly mammoth tusks from the Black Sea. "My job is to stand behind my client and let them shine," says LeBlanc, who handpicks offerings that have been received by Amy Poehler, Samuel L. Jackson, Harvey Weinstein, Robert Downey Jr. and David Geffen. simoneleblanc.com
Ivy League Fixers
College-bound students get the ultimate guidance counselors in IvyWise, a bespoke education consulting company geared toward admissions (fees start at $1,000 and can range well into the six-figures for counseling and tutoring services throughout high school). In 2015, 92 percent of IvyWise students gained admission to one of their top three schools. "We can read a student's application and spot the red flags immediately," says Dr. Kat Cohen, who founded IvyWise in New York City 17 years ago. (Ten percent of their clients are L.A.-based; they can request in-person, video or online portal tutoring.) "The team has worked at some of the most prestigious schools, which means we know what each school is looking for, down to the words, themes and attitudes to express in a personal essay statement to get into one Ivy League school versus another," she adds. "[Kat] developed a winning strategy," says entertainment attorney Matt Johnson of Ziffren Brittenham. "Our daughter was thrilled to be accepted to her first-choice school, Duke University." ivywise.com
Your Own Private Sommelier
Whether in the market for a customized wine cellar or a last-minute handpicked wine list for a dinner party, writer-producer Scott Silveri (Friends), Gathr Films founder and CEO Scott Glosserman and a handful of tight-lipped heads of motion-picture studios all rely on The Cellar Manager's Matthew Goldfarb. A certified sommelier and former private chef, Goldfarb has spent the last nine years catering to his A-list clients' every wine-related whim. "I received a phone call at 1 p.m. indicating that my client's private jet would be landing within the hour. On board were 30 cases of some of the most sought-after wines in the world from one of their homes," he says. "A temperature-controlled vehicle delivered them to their Bel Air cellar on the same day. We were done before the table was set and the dinner guests arrived." thecellarmanager.com
On-Call Plastic Surgeon
Traveling with a hairstylist and makeup artist may no longer be an extravagance, but flying one's own personal plastic surgeon is. For a starting fee of $50,000 for a half day, Dr. Gabriel Chiu of Beverly Hills Plastic Surgery Inc. will fly his team and equipment anywhere for customized treatments, including injectables and nonsurgical augmentations of the face and body. "About 50 percent of private fly-to patients are on a highly personalized anti-aging regime," says Chiu. "The clientele that requests the most services are from the entertainment industry. Usually, it's due to ridiculously tough schedules, remote shooting locations or avoidance of the public eye. Most, if not all, have extreme expectations and no budget." bhpsinc.com
Luxury Drives on Demand
A car enthusiast and former commercial banker, Joe Finci founded his car brokerage in 2002 and has since become a go-to for industry players who want a new BMW but don't want to deal with a dealer. Finci arranges for a test drive, negotiates a good price, handles the paperwork and has the car delivered to your driveway. Finci's clientele — 60 percent of whom work in the industry, including agents at CAA, WME, Paradigm and UTA and executives at Sony, Universal, Fox, Paramount and CBS — favor expensive, profitable cars. This helps dealers increase their allocation of hard-to-get models, such as Porsche's red-hot Macan SUV (Finci has two on order). He's seen his share of business-manager interventions, including one with an actor who wanted to terminate his Land Rover lease to buy a new Mercedes S-550 plug-in hybrid. Laughs Finci: "Even if it's a drop in the bucket for them, it's still great to have a new car." 818-623-8148
A Red-Carpet Readying Atelier
Stylist services are taken to a new level at The Albright Fashion Library, New York City's most extensive fashion archive with 20,000 pieces and counting, including every Saint Laurent, Tom Ford and Balmain piece from the last five years. The Library recently opened its by-appointment Beverly Hills atelier, run by mother-and-daughter team Irene and Marina Albright. It's $250 to walk into this mega-closet, beloved by top costume designers like Patricia Field and Empire season two's Paolo Nieddu as well as Hollywood stylists such as Karla Welch (Elisabeth Moss). The final look typically runs $1,000 and up for garment and accessory rentals and styling. Whatever red-carpet looks they don't have, the Albrights and creative director Patricia Black will find. All pieces can be tailored to each client and shipped overnight anywhere in the world. Says Irene: "We handle every woman's personal event — her wedding, her son's bar mitzvah or a red carpet." albrightnyc.com
Your Perfect Dog, Delivered
A self-described canine well-being expert, Hollywood Pet Mom's Lexi Beermann is on speed dial throughout Hollywood for a handful of high-profile dog owners who turn to her for all of Rover's training needs. These services include her round-the-clock Puppy Nurse program (one month starts at $8,000; six months, $36,000), in which Beermann lives with the dog either in the client's guesthouse or at her home to deliver a perfectly behaved pet. She says one client asked her to train his dog to sit on a chair at the table during family dinner and eat off a plate: "I did manage to teach her to stay until the last plate was cleared." Other services include a boot camp for behavioral emergencies (starting at $3,700 for five days), for which an owner once flew her pup on a private jet to Beermann from Chicago. hollywoodpetmom.com
Holistic concierge vet Dr. Patrick Mahaney has been making house calls (starting at $525) and offering VIP in-house pet-sitting since 2008. Mahaney once secured and personally delivered an international health certificate to a Miami billionaire couple in less than 24 hours so that their lapdog could board a flight bound for their $300 million yacht in Turks and Caicos. "He's always available to consult and is knowledgeable about everything they need to stay healthy and happy," says Jane Lynch, whose two dogs have been under Mahaney's care since 2011. patrickmahaney.com
The All-Around Concierges
For Jordan Contratto and Brandon Perkins, transitioning from being Four Seasons Beverly Wilshire concierges for 17 years collectively to their own firm, B Panache, in June 2014 was a cinch. "We specialize in last-minute requests, where tensions are high and situations are changing," says Contratto, whose services include the "hotel-in-a-home" concept: sourcing a house for clients, installing furniture to their taste, staffing it and operating it like a luxury boutique hotel. The house concept can apply to glamping at Burning Man or Yacht Week in Croatia. "Even for a small family, it would be difficult to do this for less than $250,000 a month," he adds. Services also extend to tailored itineraries, both globally and locally in L.A. Says Contratto, "If you're in L.A. or coming here and you want to live like a king — or you are one — call us." bpanache.com

My mother's advice for when I was feeling sad
I miss my mother, she is no longer here... and her words, her gestures, her things, all come to my mind.
https://quoteinpics.com/category/memories
My mother used to say to me.
"If you are sad, think of something nice,
of something that made you happy".
Now that she's gone,
I can only think of her
and her wise words.
© Shoshan
My mother is now gone, but her memory remains.
I often go through hard, lonely days. Days when I feel like there is no one in this world who understands me. Days when I feel that my life has no meaning and that the world is a dark place where I don't belong.
But my mother used to say to me, "If you are sad, think of something nice, of something that made you happy".
Now that she's gone, I can only think of her and her wise words. Her words are all I have left of her now. They're all that keep me going. They remind me what it means to be alive—to be happy and love freely without fear or regretting anything in the past because everything happens for a reason even if we don't understand why right away or at all sometimes!
My mother was an amazing woman who taught me the value of life by living it herself every single day by being kind
I miss my mother.
She was the kindest person I knew. She always had a smile on her face and she would tell me, "When you are feeling sad, remember something pleasant that made you happy."
I often go through hard, lonely days. But if I close my eyes and think of her, it makes me feel better.
I remember the first time she told me to think of something nice when I was sad. I was a little girl and it was raining outside, and I was sad because I couldn't go out and play in the rain. My mother said to me, "If you are sad, think of something nice, of something that made you happy". And then she kissed my forehead and gave me a hug.
And now that she's gone, all I can do is remember her and her wise words, which always made me feel better when I was sad or lonely.

Team Pro8 to compete in FIA Pro Modified with a new Pro Line Racing Hemi
Published 2019-04-08 | By Remco Scheelings
Finland's Jere Rantaniemi and Team Pro8 will debut in the FIA European Drag Racing Championship in 2019. The orange Pro Line Racing Hemi powered 2013 Camaro will be seen in Sweden, Finland and Germany. The last two seasons Rantaniemi ran in the Finnish national Top Doorslammer series, winning the championship in 2017 and finishing second in 2018. The team's first ever appearance abroad was at the Top Doorslammers finals in Sweden last September, a race that Rantaniemi won.
"After the successful weekend in Tierp, we began planning for competing in an international series," said crew chief Niko Putkinen. This will be an international series debut for the whole team. Team owner Sami Hanhisuanto feels the jump from Top Doorslammer to Pro Modified is surprisingly big, even though the JBRC Camaro was originally built for Pro Mod racing. There are some major changes to the FIA Pro Modified rules for the 2019 season. Turbocharged cars will be equipped with a boost controller and the maximum allowed boost will be set at 36 PSI. "To be more competitive, we made a decision to go for a new power plant. We've already run two seasons with a Pro Line engine, the 481X, and it churned on like clockwork. Pro Line Racing have proven to produce some of the most powerful and simultaneously reliable motors on the market. The PLR Hemi has been engineered to provide massive power even at these lower boost levels the new rules mandate. I'm happy we managed to do this as it allows us to challenge the top teams in Europe," Hanhisuanto declared.
Experienced race driver and Pro Modified European record holder Andreas Arthursson of PPF Racing is excited that Pro8 has the equipment to mount a real challenge. "I will do my best to help the guys at Pro8. The crowds like turbos and Europe can certainly do with some more turbocharged Pro Mods on the grid. It will probably take a few races before they are up to speed, but they'll be a contender for sure," said Arthursson.
"We are on the right track with our partners PPF Racing, Pro Line Racing, Moran Motorsports and Jerry Bickel Race Cars," said Niko Putkinen. "We will benefit from being PPF Racing's 'Junior' team tapping in on all their experience and support during the season. In return we hope to be able to help them on their road to becoming European champion."

For a team that have previously raced in a national series only, the coming season is going to be demanding. "Sure, it's going to be a challenge, but I believe we are up to it," said Pro8 driver Rantaniemi. "Though I consider myself a mentally strong and seasoned race driver, I still feel a bit anxious. The competition in Pro Modified is extremely tough. Unlike other teams we're not familiar with most of the race tracks. However, I have faith in my team and our equipment. Like most drivers on the verge of a new season I'm just itching to get behind that steering wheel."

Motley Fool Australia » Investing » Can Harvey Norman improve?
Can Harvey Norman improve?
Andrew Mudie | September 10, 2013
Harvey Norman (ASX: HVN) shares have rallied strongly over the past nine months, after the shares were oversold in December last year following months of profit downgrades from fellow discretionary retailers.
The shares touched a multi-year low of $1.74 on December 6 and have since recovered to over $3 yesterday. The future direction of the share price appears to be balanced on a knife's edge, with UBS and Morningstar offering contradictory analyses of the company's fortunes.
Morningstar is of the opinion that the recent share price growth is unsustainable based on the ongoing decline in revenue and profit, largely due to the shift to online retailers for electronics and white goods. The brand's online presence has improved in the past year, but intense price competition from established and new online brands is expected to impact margins in the medium to long term.
The shift online sees Harvey Norman competing with other large Australian bricks and mortar retailers such as David Jones (ASX: DJS), JB Hi-Fi (ASX: JBH), Bunnings and Masters Hardware, as well as many international brands who ship to Australia directly.
Morningstar notes that Harvey Norman has achieved cost reductions in line with the decline in receipts from customers, but is unsure of where further cost savings will be achieved if revenue continues to fall. Closure of unprofitable stores should provide the biggest benefit, as Harvey Norman pays franchisees 'Tactical Support Payments' in times of low profitability or trading difficulty. These payments increased by $4.5 million to $128.5 million in 2012-13.
UBS is much more positive. It notes that Harvey Norman's leverage to a housing and retail recovery are key and were buoyed by the positivity expressed by the company in the 2012-13 results. UBS believes that fashion retailers and department stores may continue to struggle but that a recovery in residential housing would lead to improved furniture and electrical goods sales for companies such as Harvey Norman.
UBS also believes the company will benefit from new product releases in 2013-14, leading to an increase in spending on game consoles and electronics. Finally, UBS believe that the online presence of Harvey Norman should act as a cushion for the company against the loss of sales to rival online retailers.
Having risen 72% in the past nine months, and 25% in the past two months, the future of the share price of Harvey Norman is far from certain. UBS and Morningstar have starkly different views on the company's future and have price targets of $3.30 and $1.70 respectively.
Investors should consider whether they believe shopping will continue to move online or if Australians will instead opt to head to shopping malls to purchase white goods and furniture. Harvey Norman is undoubtedly in a good position to benefit from an increase in retail spending but company success will rely on reducing margins to compete with online retailers.

In this moment, a gentle pace.
To be walked upon once more.
To be treasured by all when seen.
Life has been allowed to abound.
Growing around me and beneath my feet.
This is where I want to stand.
Yes we are precious, but not all.
A shared humanity is our bond.
With love, no place for hate.
and everyone has a chance.
Where people live in mutual respect.
Have fraught times in history taught us nothing?
Alas, this is by no means new!
So we feel we can stand tall.
For them, this is my plea.
And a better future, we would provide.
I want to have stood for something.
I wrote this poem as a way of expressing my feelings after the tragic attacks and events in Manchester and London but further afield too. It began as a kind of escapism...Where would I like to be physically? What would I like to see and experience? What might bring me moments of peace and joy?
It then turned into a poem about ideals...What values would I like to live by? What kind of world do I want my kids to grow up in? What do I want our society and community to look and feel like? How can we do better? I could have written so much more! When I read my poem now, I see it is also about rights. It is about what each and every one of us has a right to - peace, hope, fairness, health, happiness, safety, kindness, love...life. It makes me terribly sad to see these rights being denied to people in my city, my country and much further beyond.
Like many people, I am asking myself what more I can do. Like many, my response is a determination to carry on and live my life with love and kindness. Seeing this response everywhere and witnessing all of the wonderful people who step in to help and use their voices to bring about change, gives me hope.
To me, living with the values touched on in my poem feels like a good place to start but perhaps there is more I could do. I have a few ideas but they all lie beyond my comfort zone so I am going to have to be a little bit brave and step outside to find the path forward. I'll keep you posted sweet peas!
I'm wishing you joy and love and I'm sending you extra cuddles this week lovelies. Take care.
PS - as always, I love to hear your comments and thoughts and I am happy to receive them here or on over on instagram.
How are you? Are you well? I do hope so. Thanks so much for popping by and thanks again for all of your lovely comments and support so far.
I love June. It is my birth month and it reminds me of birthday parties in our garden in London when I was young. I recollect that the sun was always shining on my birthday when I was little but I am sure this is not the case! But the memory is lovely anyway. This year I have turned 44 and time is racing by. It seems like Spring has just sprung and yet we are about to welcome in the Summer.
For me Spring means hope, new growth, beauty and light. As Winter draws to a close, we begin to really feel the sun's warmth on our faces and skin again, and our world gradually starts to thaw. The earth shows the telltale signs that we are going to be treated to a riot of colour in just a few weeks, as brave little shoots appear. We begin to prepare our gardens, tidying and fussing over precious new growth and hoping our seeds will sprout on sunny windowsills. The blossom trees treat us to little buds of joy, just waiting for the right time to unfurl giving us such beautiful displays of floral abundance.
And then the colour really starts to appear, the sun really starts to shine and our Winter coats are banished to the back of the wardrobe out of sight lest they remind us of colder times. We spend more time in our garden and in the great outdoors exploring, larking about and finding beauty in our city and beyond. We top up our depleted levels of vitamin D, we feel healthier and free. What joy and what fun! My family and I are definitely Spring bunnies!
Sigh.....there is so much beauty to behold in nature. There is something extra special about these photos for me. Every single one was taken in my city. It is so important for us, living in such a busy, polluted and densely populated environment, to find areas, sights and moments of beauty. Luckily for us, London provides.
Until next time lovelies, take care and lots of love.

Today's Spotlight shines brightly on a young, talented author by the name of Kirstie Olley. Kirstie is an author friend that I rub shoulders with at my writers' group. She is vibrant and energetic, so much so, that I often wonder how much coffee she consumes before each meeting? But then I think – Nah, that's just how she rolls!
Kirstie has a fascination with Manga, Fantasy and Goldfish. She adores Pokémon and My Little Pony and you can usually pick her out from a crowd, just by looking for the girl wearing the 'Dr Who', 'Pokemon' or 'How to train your dragon' T-shirt. She's a Spec Fiction writer, living in Brisbane and she has a true passion for her craft – as anyone who spends five minutes talking to her about writing will tell you.
Kirstie loves to write the likes of modern fantasy or fairy tales with a twist, in fact, I think she just loves to write. Her most noted stories to date include:- Stolen Hearts, Short Circuit and Nightfall.
Have you ever immersed yourself in the dark world of post apocalyptic, dystopian society? S. Elliot Brandis has – in fact he does so regularly. You see, he is the type of author that spends a great deal of time creating these worlds in his imagination. Thinking about them while he rides on the bus, as he walks down the street and while he works at his day job.
This softly spoken, trendy, young author is hitting the book scene hard and fast, releasing two books in the last 12 months with a third on the way and still working on more. His talent for choosing the right word at the right time, makes his prose crisp with a poetic edge that is a pleasure to read.
For purposes of disclosure, I will add that I know S. Elliot Brandis personally, as we are members of the same writing group. However, I stick by my opinion that he is a talented and up-coming writer that we are sure to see more of in the future.
Today's 'Spotlight on the Author' talks about an intelligent, interesting man who is passionate about what he believes in. He also happens to be a friend and a talented author, he is Kenneth Mugi.
I first met Kenneth when he turned up at my writer's group one Sunday. He walked in with his bag slung over his shoulder, said hello in his mild mannered Canadian accent, then pushed his glasses up to the bridge of his nose with a single finger (just like Clark Kent) and sat down with the group.
In a way Kenneth is a Super Hero himself. He has the ability to intelligently dissect prose and provide insightful feedback. He has a friendly smile and a laid back attitude, his wit is sharp and his imagination is mind blowing. But what is even more impressive is the fact that he turned up in the first place, because Kenneth suffers from social anxiety.
I am truly honoured to say that Kenneth is my friend. His writing is original and carries the influence of his life experiences. He has worked with at-risk adults, lived in several countries, and always talks about how amazing his wife, Aiko is.
You can find out more about Kenneth and his books on his blog http://www.noshovelshere.com/ or on Facebook.
Welcome to my first 'Spotlight On The Author' post. If you are a regular reader of my blog, you will know I like to help other Writers/Authors with hints and tips, references, etc… as well as motivate them with positive and inspirational quotes. But not everyone needs tips on how to write or where to find resources, so I thought I would try to help in another way.
The concept behind 'Spotlight On The Author' is to highlight other authors and their work, who they are, what they write, how to find their blogs, and whatever else I think might help.
I got the idea while talking to a friend and fellow member of Vision Writers – Talitha Kalago. Surprise, surprise, we were chatting about all things writing, from blog posts and author interviews to why you should have business cards as a writer – so who better to start with!
Talitha is an Aussie girl who lives on the Sunshine Coast. She writes Y.A, Spec Fic, Fantasy and Horror, among other genres, and not all under the same name. As a person she shoots from the hip and doesn't mince words, much like her writing which is sharp and lean. Her critiques can be brutally direct and her editing suggestions have earned her the nickname 'Slasher'. All fear Talitha in the circle of critiques… This said she is not malicious and will just as freely praise good work, to the extent where she has offered to present other writer's work to her publisher.
Talitha's is a determined, self motivated and focussed individual who loves to write. Her most recent work is the Lifesphere Inc. series of Y.A. Sci-Fi novels, the first of which is available free on her website. To find out more about her and her books you can visit: Traditional Evolution.

Reports on angling matches from the week ending 24 September 2016.
On Sunday, the 60-peg sell-out Angling Trust Riverfest 2016 Qualifier on the River Wye in Herefordshire was spread out across the Breinton, Bartonsham and Eign Sections and with the river running low and fairly clear, hopes were running high that a large weight of chub or barbel could win the day and the venue certainly didn't disappoint. Winner on the day and booking his place in the two day final at this location on the 26th and 27th November was Wye regular Steve Williams (Shakespeare Superteam/Bait-Tech) who drew 'fancied' peg 16, at the bottom end of Breinton Section where he fished the waggler with caster over hemp to excellent effect in the shallow, pacey water, netting around thirty five chub for a colossal 81-6-0 top weight. Worcester-based river specialist and teammate of the winner Paul Bick drew the peg in Eign Section which won last year's Qualifier, where he had a great day's sport, fishing the feeder with hemp and caster to bank half a dozen barbel and eleven chub for an impressive 74-8-0, which sees him safely through to the final as well. Match third was Wrexham's Phil Davies who was drawn on the Vineyard stream in Eign Section where he fished both float and feeder tactics for an impressive 50-3-0 of chub and barbel. Completing the frame and qualifying from Bartonsham Section was Tim Noke (Alan's Tackle) who fished hemp, casters and pellets through a feeder to tempt 48-8-0 of barbel from the bottom end of the section. Overall the weights were impressive despite there being some hard areas. The Angling Trust wish to give special thanks to Lee Pritchard and Deron Harper for the enormous effort in the lead up to the event to get the venue ready. Also to all the stewards who volunteered to help take the burden of weighing in away from the anglers.
This year's Burton Angling Festival 2016 was again a sell-out, months in advance. The 78 anglers had to face some testing conditions as the River Trent at Burton-on-Trent in East Staffordshire was more like a chalk stream, gin clear and low with record high weather temperatures for September so things didn't bode well at all on the fishing front. Tuesday's day one winner, Yorkshire raider Fred Prudham, from Doncaster, was drawn on peg 2, at the top of Sherratts Farm Section where he fished both the waggler and stick float with bronze maggot for 15-0-0 exact of chunky perch and roach. Runner-up on Shardlow peg 22 was Shakespeare Superteam/Bait-Tech's Leigh Gardner who fished both the long pole and whip with maggot over groundbait for a 14-8-0 mixed bag. After intense, heavy thunderstorms overnight the river had started to pace up but was still clear for Wednesday's day two match. Winner, Daiwa Dorking skipper Steve Sanders put in a cracking performance on Ferrybridge peg 2, fishing the long pole with bronze maggot over groundbait for an admirable 13-10-0 of small roach and dace, ahead of Tony Marshall (Shakespeare Superteam/Bait-Tech) who used the same strategy on Andressey island to scale 12-14-0 of all maggot-tempted roach. Thursday's final day arrived and the river had risen six inches overnight and was carrying a touch of colour. Tony Marshall went one better to win the match off the end peg at Shardlow with 15-12-0 of roach, caught on the bolo with maggot. On the neighbouring peg, Doncaster's Steve Lowther came second with 14-12-0 of roach taken on the stick float. After strong section placings throughout the festival, Bradford's Steve Newns took the title of Burton Angling Festival Champion 2016 with 6 points, on paper he didn't draw that well but fished a great competition and his win was thoroughly well-deserved. Festival runner-up was Sam Merry (Shakespeare Superteam/Bait-Tech) who amassed 8 points. Altogether there were ninety seven cash prizes paid out totalling £9,000. Excellent! Organisers Wayne Swinscoe and Mark Forshew wish to thank sponsors Coors AC, all the stewards; all the staff at Washlands Sports Club and of course Derby Railway AC for the use of their waters.
Bewdley's Steve Maher, fishing for Sensas WB Clarke, took individual top billing at Saturday's 60-peg round two of the Barford AA Teams of Six League held on the Warks. River Avon in Barford, Warwickshire. Drawn on peg 83 in the middle of E Section, Steve set a new league record weight with a monumental 69-8-0 haul consisting of ten barbel and a bonus bream, all caught on the long pole with caster. Runner-up and Steve's teammate, Ian Winter drew peg 58 in the cutting where he fished the waggler with maggot for 28-0-0 of all chub, ahead of Mike Davies (Match Box) who returned 18-0-0 of chub and barbel at peg 62. Steve and Ian's achievements aided their squad to the team spoils on the day with 21 points. Bailey's of Warwick came second on 24 points, ahead of Shakespeare Superteam/Bait-Tech's 28 points.
It proved to be tough going at Sunday's 28-entry Bridgnorth AS National Squad Open on a lowish and quite clear Linley Bank stretch of the River Severn in Bridgnorth, Shropshire; the last open before this coming Saturday's Angling Trust Riverfest 2016 Qualifier. Drawn on peg 37 in the willows, Wednesfield Angling Centre's Nigel Ball took the honours with an 18-8-0 net, comprising of one 5lb barbel and a trio of small chub, snared on legered meat, bolstered by 10lb of dace caught on the waggler with maggot. All dace nets to waggler and maggot tactics made the next two placings and Phil Stacey (Bridgnorth AS) came second on peg 82 at Gadston Ford with 13-8-0, ahead of Wolverhampton's Ian Hingley who returned 10-14-0 at peg 147, on the golf course. John Webb (Bridgnorth AS) was fourth with 9-9-0 and a tie occurred for fifth place when Geoff MacGuire (KDAA) and Keith Russell (Bell Otters) both recorded 8-0-0.
The Shropshire Union Canal at High Onn and Little Onn in Staffordshire were the locations for Sunday's round one of the Izaak Walton (Stafford) AA/Browning Lifestyle Teams of Six Winter League. Ten squads set up in bright, warm and sunny conditions and the canal was carrying a slight tinge of colour. With the holiday season coming to an end, there was only moderate boat traffic throughout the match. On the individual front, Shakespeare Superteam/Bait-Tech's Darren Lewis eased to victory with a brilliant 35-2-0 weight of skimmers and perch, tempted on pole-fished caster and worm at Little Onn peg D4, just past the cables. The next two framers also came from the Little Onn length and they also weighed in mainly skimmer nets which also fell to poled caster and worm. Sensas Strike's Callum Shepherd secured second on pipe peg F2, the first peg into the wood, with another hearty 26-14-0, ahead of Darren Bolton (Sensas Black Country Gold) who scaled 12-10-0 at peg D9. Completing the frame were Richard Guest (Maver Midlands/Wolves) with 12-7-12; Lewis Kenyon (Browning Lifestyle Red) on 11-12-0 and Mark Smith (Maver Midlands/Wolves) in sixth position with 11-2-8. Shakespeare Superteam/Bait-Tech set the pace, taking the team prize on the day with 19 points. Maver Midlands/Wolves followed with 23 points, ahead of Sensas Black Country Gold and Sensas Strike who both amassed 30 points apiece. Browning Lifestyle Red came fifth with 31 points.
The rain started half an hour before the 'all in' at Sunday's 22-peg King of the Canal 2016 event, staged on the match stretch of the Newry Canal in Omeeth Road, Newry, Northern Ireland. A thoroughly wet day ensued but conditions were not blustery; spirits couldn't be dampened and the canal didn't fish too bad at all. Bangor-based Johnny Keith (Matrix) Lurgan) scaled a rewarding 10K 175g of mainly small roach and perch, backed up by a dozen big hybrids and a few skimmers at permanent peg 38, gathered on the feeder with groundbait, maggot, caster and chopped worm. Runner-up Dominic Wilson (Newry Match Anglers) chose the same attack on permanent peg 35 for a similar quarry and 6K 675g, ahead of Johnny McKinley (Matrix Lurgan) who mainly fished the pole with maggot, caster and worm over groundbait off permanent peg 51, to scale 5K 875g of roach, perch and skimmers. Johnny Keith was duly crowned King of the Canal 2016!
Some healthy weights were returned at Saturday's Woodside AA Open on the Link 51 Section of the Dudley No.1 Canal in Merry Hill, Dudley, West Midlands where Gornal's Lee Woodhouse notched up yet another triumph when he slid a satisfying 21-10-0 top weight of skimmers to 2lb plus hybrids and shedfuls of 'motherless minnows' onto the scales, caught on pole-fished big maggot over groundbait and squatt feed at peg 20. Pole-fishing lobworm and caster off peg 13, Pete Hatton (ZLT Angling Products) followed with half a dozen chub, five of which were between 3 and 4lb, alongside a few perch for second with 16-1-0, ahead of teammate Steve Robson's 14-10-0 which consisted of four chub, the largest of which was 4lb, the rest being around the 3lb mark, a brace of decent perch and a couple of quality roach plus bits which all fell to poled caster over caster, hemp and chopped worm feed at peg 22.
In-form Wednesfield wonder, Kevin Tipton (Sensas) completed a successful weekend's fishing when he celebrated his hat-trick of wins at the venue, he topped Sunday's Patshull Park Open on the Great Lake in Pattingham, Shropshire for the third consecutive week. All sections saw action during the 26-peg event and the Hotel Bank produced the top two weights. Opting for slider tactics with various hook baits, fished over groundbait off peg 33, Kevin ran out a clear winner with a splendid 31-4-0 of bream to 3lb. Matt Dawes (Drennan NW/Tri-Cast Weston) followed on peg 30, where he had skimmers on the tip and small roach on the pole for 20-11-0. The third spot was shared equally between Dudley rod Les Thompson (Matrix) and teammate Tim Cadwallader who both brought 16-5-0 of small mixed silvers, to the scalesman. Les had his fish on the pole and the feeder on Boats peg 63 and Tim had all his on the long pole from Boats peg 60.
Blackfords' match secretary Ian Davies stole the show at Saturday's Blackfords Progressive Bi-Monthly Open on Kingswood Lake in Cannock, Staffordshire. Fishing the conventional feeder with 6 and 8mm pellets off peg 5, Ian scaled 20-4-0 of bream to 3lb. Streetly's Mark Greening was runner-up with 18-2-0 of roach, perch and skimmers, captured on the pole with assorted baits at peg 36, leaving Chris Brown (JCB) in third with 15-12-0 of bream around the 3lb mark, caught on the Method feeder with pellet at peg 46. Sensas-backed Kevin Tipton came fourth with 14-14-0 of mainly skimmers, taken on the slider with worm from peg 3.


Ana Gregg never imagined she'd have two heart attacks by age 35. Why she now has hope and wants to help others understand their risks.
At 35, Ana Gregg never imagined she'd have a heart attack at such a young age. Or that her doctors would initially miss the signs. Now Gregg is participating in a research study at Mayo Clinic in Rochester that she hopes will help researchers better understand the mysterious medical condition called spontaneous coronary artery dissection or SCAD, which caused her to have two heart attacks.
It all started one night shortly after she had put her two young sons to bed. After the boys fell asleep, she decided to take advantage of some "me time" by exercising. When she finished 45 minutes later, she says she began feeling warm, and then felt pressure building in her chest. "At first, I thought I had worked out too soon after dinner," she told the Twin Cities Heart Foundation in a video created for the Go Red campaign to help raise awareness of heart disease in women.
"I thought maybe it would just go away," she says. But instead, things got worse. "I was having a hard time breathing … I looked in the mirror, and I was gray." At that point, Gregg says she knew something was seriously wrong and went to a local hospital. An EKG initially showed she was having a heart attack. "I was shocked," she says. Almost as a shocked as she was a few minutes later when another doctor came in and told her he didn't believe she was having a heart attack. Instead, Gregg says that while her initial EKG results were "abnormal," the doctor told her "that could be my normal." So she was sent home and told she had acid reflux.
Nine months later, however, it happened again. And Gregg told Mayo Clinic News Network that it was after this second go-around that her doctors realized what was going on: She had suffered SCAD. "I couldn't believe it," she says. Fortunately, Gregg has since become part of the aforementioned research study led by Mayo's Sharonne Hayes, M.D., who's doing all she can to solve the SCAD puzzle.
Dr. Hayes says what makes SCAD so hard to understand is that it's not your typical heart attack. "Instead of plaque building up, the artery splits," she says. And when it does, that initial tear allows blood flow to split the artery wall, creating a "loose flap of tissue" on the inside of the artery that can then restrict blood flow to the heart. While there's still much to be learned, research by Dr. Hayes and her team has helped shed some light on the condition. That includes indications that angiograms could make the problem worse by lengthening the tear, that patients with SCAD are at a higher than expected rate of having an artery condition called fibromuscular dysplasia, and that recurrence is not as rare as once thought.
Ana Gregg is thankful her condition was caught when it was and is hoping the seven stents she now has placed in her chest will help reduce further risk by keeping her arteries open. "Every day I think God has given me a new day," she says.

College coursework here we come.
The ACT is the nation's most popular college entrance exam, accepted by all universities and colleges in the United States. It tests high school students' knowledge and provides personalized information about their strengths for education and career planning.
Data released from ACT on Sept. 7 show the average composite score for 2017 Catholic school graduates in the archdiocese was 24.8, an increase from the 2016 average score of 24.7. The Missouri state average is 20.4.
The ACT consists of curriculum-based tests of educational development in English, mathematics, reading and science designed to measure the skills needed for success in first-year college coursework. Catholic school graduates in the archdiocese scored high in all areas, particularly English at 25.7 — nearly six points above the state average — and reading at 25.5 — almost five points above the state average. Science and math were four and three points higher, respectively.
"We are incredibly proud of our graduates. We measure student success in many ways and the ACT test scores again confirm the outstanding work of our students and teachers," said Kurt Nelson, superintendent of Catholic education. He cited students' hard work during the high school years, building on the strong foundation they receive in Catholic elementary schools.
The Catholic high school scores include 2,759 seniors (98.6 percent of the Class of 2017) from all 27 Catholic high schools in the archdiocese. The archdiocese has the oldest and largest system of schools in the state of Missouri, with more than 38,000 students.
In 2016, the Archdiocese of St. Louis composite score exceeded 99 percent of all Missouri school districts. The Catholic Education Office releases archdiocesan average scores, but not individual school scores.
According to the ACT's annual score report, underserved students — defined as students who would be the first generation in their family to attend college, come from low-income families and/or self-identify their race/ethnicity as minority — lag far behind their peers when it comes to college and career readiness. And the more underserved characteristics that students possess, the less likely they are to be ready.
The National Catholic Educational Association states that research from the University of Notre Dame shows that the achievement gap closes among underserved students who attend Catholic schools. For example, Latinos who attend Catholic schools are two-and-a-half times more likely to graduate from college.
Some information for this story came from a news release from the Archdiocese of St. Louis.

My first day on-air at ABC7 started with an engineer handing me a big red bag which contained my fireproof suit, a helmet and face mask. Dumbfounded, I stood there staring at the bag and asked myself: "What have I gotten myself in to!?"
The North Bay fires had just broken out and within an hour, I was in the epicenter of the destruction. The adrenaline kicked in. From neighborhoods of multi-million dollar homes to mobile home parks, the flames showed no mercy. Fire victims were stumbling through the street, dazed and covered in thick black ash. The air so thick with smoke, it burned your lungs and tears would stream down your face.
Despite the chaos and gut-wrenching sadness, being able to tell their stories was an honor and a privilege and it reminded me of why I got into this crazy TV news business in the first place.
The path to ABC7 News started when I was a small child, and my parents, two immigrants from Hong Kong and Taiwan wanted me to learn how to speak "proper" English and would sit me in front of the TV to watch ABC's 20/20. Hugh Downs and Barbara Walters were my heroes. It struck me as I got older, maybe I could give others a voice like they did.
Former mentors, starting from my high school TV teacher, Mr. Lewis, to another Mr. Lewis who was, at the time, news director at a station in Hartford, Connecticut helped give me my start as a student reporter.
From there, the business brought me to Springfield, Massachusetts as a bureau reporter, then Kansas City as a weekend and then weekday morning anchor, primary evening anchor/reporter in Charlotte and most recently, main anchor/reporter in Tampa Bay. The journey has taken me from ground zero after hurricanes and tornadoes to broadcasting in a booth next to Michelle Obama at the Democratic National Convention, and to Hollywood for red carpet TV show premieres. You really never know what your day is going to be like in this business.
While I don't have any personal Emmy awards, I am proud to have been voted "Best Morning Anchor" and "Best TV Personality" by different publications in Kansas City and Charlotte, and then named one of the nation's top 18 leaders under 34 in TV by Broadcast & Cable Magazine. To me, those kinds of acknowledgments mean more than a golden statue.
Having those roles allowed me to pursue community involvement projects, such as developing programs for women's professional groups and students revolving around the theme of laughter, empowerment and being authentic. This is my passion. Using those platforms, sharing my own personal struggles in navigating a very competitive business as a minority woman, I've contributed to the Huffington Post and written a series for Amy Poehler's Smart Girls website and signed on last year as an author for Full Circle Literary.
When I'm not on TV, you'll find me with friends exploring all the amazing food available in the Bay Area, traveling around the world and volunteering and acting as an ambassador for the non-profit Best Buddies. My husband, a professional poker player and I are the parents of a Miniature Dachshund named Daphne and a Yorkie named Georgie. Fun Fact: I have a sushi roll named after me at The Cowfish restaurant in Charlotte, Atlanta and inside Universal Studios City Walk...and yes. My parents were big Dionne Warwick fans!

Potsdam, Brandenburg, Germany Monday, August 18, 2008
An uneventful motorway run across rolling German countryside brought us to Potsdam, in spite of Tom-Tom Jane insisting that we travel in the opposite direction. Strangely, when we left the motorway Jane insisted we head west, whilst we knew we had to go east. After 10 miles of "turn around when possible" I switched her off. Even stranger, when we reached the campsite and I switched her on again, she told us we had reached our destination. The campsite, Sanssouci-Gaisberg is situated by the lakeside with a sandy beach and boating. When we arrived it was very crowded and cramped, but during the course of the week people drifted away and it is now very pleasant.
Our plan was to spend two days in Berlin, with a day apart, but the Berlin Welcome card gave substantial discounts and unlimited train/bus/tram travel over a 48 hour period, which squeezed our visit into two very tiring days. The campsite ran a free shuttle bus to the tram terminus, a 20-minute tram ride takes us to Potsdamer Hauptbahnhof, then a 30-minute fast train into the heart of Berlin. Whilst the U- and S- Bahns (underground and suburban trains) in Berlin are excellent, the trams seem to cover only the old East German quarter and the buses, if you can work out which one you want, were all packed anyway. The situation is compounded by the geography of the city. The Reichstag/Brandenburg gate area, the Museum Insel (Island) where the main museums and galleries are and the new Cultural Centre, where the concert halls and galleries are, are not served by U- or S- Bahn, whilst the Hauptbahnhof, Berlin's new, ultra modern all singing all dancing international train station is built in the middle of nowhere, a twenty minute walk to the nearest place of interest. Fortunately there are other stations at which to leave the train.
Berlin can best be described as a fascinating city of extreme contrasts. The former East German suburbs are depressing and glum. The Eastern part of the city centre is full of new building, wealthy and vibrant, and well maintained historical buildings, like the museums and university. The old Western part is similar, but a bit older. Between the two are derelict buildings and building sites. It was impossible to view a superb masterpiece of ultra modern architecture, of which there were many, without seeing dereliction next door. As someone once said of Rome, "it will be nice when it is finished". The centrepiece is Potsdamer Plaza, which was the hub of pre war Berlin and was split by the wall. Re-united it has become a centre for astonishing architectural experiment, largest of which is the Sony Centre, which Lesley described as "Blade Runner without the rain"!
There are fragments of the wall remaining, as memorials and as tourist attractions. Behind the longest section is a building site where they are building a huge memorial museum, the Topography of Terror, on the site of the old SS headquarters. In the meantime along the side of the wall is about 100 yards of photographic displays of the atrocities committed by the Nazis. A very moving experience, and many looking at these were reduced to tears.
Nearby was Checkpoint Charlie, so named because it is there to make a Charlie out of any gullible tourist. It is a poor copy of the original building, 50 yards from where it should have been. There were touts dressed as American and Soviet soldiers willing to have their photos taken with you, for a fee of course, and it was possible, if you were prepared to stand in line, to have your passport stamped, again for a fee.
But walking north from there, into the heart of the old East Berlin, the shops and restaurants become smarter and posher and more and more expensive, culminating in the corner of FriedrichStrasse and Unter den Linden, where the Ferrari shop is over the road from the dealer showing off Bentleys and a Bugatti Veyron in his window. Like so many of the former Iron Curtain countries, it seems that some of Germany has made a lot of money out of re-unification, whilst the proletariat still suffers, perhaps even more than of old. We read in the Times recently (hastening to add that this is not our paper of choice, we have to take what we can get in Europe), that there is a block of flats being built in East Berlin where each flat has its own glass lift, large enough to take the family car, so when you spend so much money on your Bugatti, you can at least look at it form your living room.
Berlin has over 150 museums and galleries. We managed only three. To see them all would take weeks, particularly given the queues at each one. The Pergamon museum contains almost all the Pergamon Altar, making our custody of the Elgin Marbles look like petty theft in comparison. The Altes Museum has a wonderful display of Egyptian relics, including a beautiful head of Nefertiti. The Gemaldegalerie, in the new Cultural Centre, is a state of the art modern building with a wide range of masterpieces.
Overall our impression of Berlin was glad to have seen it but we had seen enough. We would not have missed it, but it is not on our list of must go back to's. The same would not be said of Potsdam. A beautiful, relaxed and peaceful city. Described as the Versailles of Berlin it has a huge park containing not one palace the size of Versailles but two, plus three other large buildings containing state apartments of one sort of another. All set in a park which makes Windsor Great Park look like the Queen's back yard. It took us four hours to wander round, and that is without going into the two main buildings.

I stared at these words, a familiar numbness coming over me. I clutched my bible in one hand, my fingernails finding the groves they had left during the times when holding on was all I could do.
I resisted the urge to crumple the letter postmarked from the New Year. Instead, I unfolded it again and placed it with care on the table in front of me.
This letter was an unwelcome reminder of the worst thing I had ever experienced.
I thought of being a little girl and watching as my friend was run over by a car, and I saw her head crushed like a grape. I thought of icing bruises I didn't deserve while sobbing in the girls' bathroom. I thought of holding my dog, my baby, as his heart stopped beating.
But I felt something different about the numbness this time. I traced my fingers over the paper, feeling where the pen had carved deeper in certain words. In remorse, I realized. Sorrow.
I shook my head but read through it all again – the confession, apology, plea. Over and over again, begging for forgiveness I had already extended and for relief I couldn't give.
I folded my hands on the letter in front of me and unfolded them again. I stared at my wrists, at a black cross drawn over scars. I ran my palm over the bleach-white marks that no one else could see and, like always, thought of Jesus' scars.
It was with grace that I could pick up a pen and start a reply of love I wasn't capable of as a teenager, and with understanding I couldn't fathom as a suicidal college freshman. I sealed the envelope an hour later with the mercy of a woman who chose to forgive like she had been forgiven.
I made my way to the mailbox, twirling the letter in my hands. I thought of everyone I had once withheld forgiveness: the young parents who didn't know what they were doing, the friends who betrayed me, the man who broke my heart. With every step I took, I recalled each memory of hurt, asking God how long they would stick around. I wondered what was really stopping me from extending the same mercy and treating them as if they had never burned me or let me down.
I set the envelope inside the box and closed the door slowly, letting out a breath I didn't know I was holding. It clicked shut, and of the dozens of thoughts running through my mind, one cried louder and clearer than the rest: I'm done. I forgive them all.
I turned away and walked back to my parents' house. I closed my eyes for a few seconds against the evening breeze, listening to its whispered promise of fall and a new season.
I opened my eyes again. And then I moved on.
