Like water, carbohydrates, protein, and fats, vitamins and minerals are essential to life. They are therefore considered nutrients, and are often referred to as micronutrients simply because they are needed in relatively small amounts compared with the four basic nutrients.
Because vitamins and minerals are so necessary for health, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has formulated recommended consumption levels for vitamins called recommended consumption levels for vitamins called recommended daily allowance (RDAs). But as we will see Vitamins, these allowances do not account for the amount needed to maintain maximum health rather than borderline health, only the amount needed to prevent deficiency diseases. Therefore, the average adult who is not suffering from any specific disorder should obtain more than the RDAs of vitamins and minerals from food sources and/or from supplements. The table below - which includes not just vitamin and mineral supplements, but other supplements as well - should be used as a guideline. Although the amounts listed are safe (they will not cause toxicity), they should be varied according to size and weight. People who are active and exercise; those who are under great stress, on restricted diets, or mentally or physically ill; women who take oral contraceptives; those on medications; those who are recovering from surgery; and smokers and those who consume alcoholic beverages; and women who are pregnant or breastfeeding all need higher than normal amounts of nutrients.
In addition to a proper diet, exercise and a positive attitude are two important elements that are needed to prevent sickness and disease. If your lifestyle includes each of these, you will feel good and have more energy - something we all deserve.
50-percent were deficient in Vitamin B-6 (Pyridoxine).
42-percent did not consume sufficient amounts of Calcium.
39-percent had an insufficient Iron intake.
25 to 39-percent did not obtain enough Vitamin C.
Additional research has shown that a vitamin deficiency may not affect the whole body, but only specific cells. For example, those who smoke may suffer from a vitamin C deficiency, but only in the lung area.
Whenever you seek to correct a vitamin or mineral deficiency, you must recognize that nutrients work synergistically. This means that there is a cooperative action between certain vitamins and minerals, which work as catalysts, promoting the absorption and assimilation of other vitamins and minerals. Correcting a deficiency in one vitamin or mineral requires the addition of others, not simply replacement of one in which you are deficient. This is why taking a single vitamin or mineral may be ineffective, or even dangerous, and why a balanced vitamin and mineral preparation should always be taken in addition to any single supplements. The following table indicates which vitamins and minerals are necessary to correct certain deficiencies.
The nutrients listed below are recommended for good health. Daily dosages are suggested; however, before using any supplements, you should consult with your health care provider or midwife, if you are pregnant or breastfeeding a baby. The dosages given here are for non-pregnant adults and children weighing 100 pounds and over. Appropriate dosages for children vary according to age and weight. A child weighing between 70 and 100 pounds should be given 3/4 the adult dose; a child weighing under 70 pounds (and over the age of 6 years) should be given nutritional formulas designed specifically for young children. For children under the age of 6 years, consult with your pediatrician for more specific guidelines. You should follow the dosage directions on the product label.

As you guys know I started university this year and one of my modules was to create a short film. Now I have done my fair share of creative work in the past from being in Operas to radio/Podcasts and making documentaries however nothing could have prepared me for the work involved in making this short film, I made sure to constantly be one step ahead and was very very very very lucky that just about everything fell into place in terms of getting actors and what not, indeed Claudette Baker Park and John Willow were fantastic to work with which was great for a first time director like myself. I got everything to look how I wanted it, had issues with the sound and a couple of post production problems but otherwise I'm okay with my effort, Not completely happy but then I doubt I ever will be about any creative work I ever make.
Flipside is about a waster that lives life by the flip of a coin. I would also love to thank and indeed keep thanking Shaun Bartlett forever for giving the production permission to use his fantastic song Love Give Take as it really adds that extra dimension the film needed.
Please don't hesitate to talk about it in the comments box below!


Plus, y'all know I love to design fun printables for you… so I created a whole set of cuties to go with this kit! I seriously love the wild zebra theme… your bachelorette party is the perfect time to get a little wild, right?

FRANKLIN SPRINGS, Ga. - The Emmanuel College women's volleyball team ended their regular season with their 10th straight win, this time against conference opponent Erskine College. In their previous matchup, the Lions won 3-1. This time Emmanuel swept the Fleet in three sets.
Erskine started off the match with a five point run while the Lions struggled to side out. The Fleet continued to unleash a flurry of points and found themselves at a 19-10 lead. Finally, Emmanuel began to put some points on the board when Junior Mia McKensey sided out with a kill. Sophomore Jenna Woodruff followed up with one of her own. An attack error for the Lions would give the fleet another point before Emmanuel returned with a 4 point run. The fleet would score again with a kill from Jauhna Smith before a service error allowed the Lions to go on a five point run. Emmanuel came back to close out the first set 25-22.
In the second set, Emmanuel broke away after a service error from the Fleet. Junior Stephanie Hardy served an ace followed by a kill from both Freshman Mia Cotton and Junior Jessica Gray. A couple more runs from the Lions made for an easy 25-20 victory.
The third and final set was all Emmanuel with a .385 hitting percentage to the Fleets .194. After giving the first two points to Erskine at the start of the set, The Lions rallied with several runs all the way to a final score of 25-20.
The Lions now stand at 20-8 overall and 14-1 in conference. The Conference Carolinas post season will begin on Tuesday, November 6th when Emmanuel hosts Lees-McRae in the quarter-final matchup at 6:30pm.

On Competition: Adapting to the Contemporary Environment
We find ourselves at the start of a new era characterized by long-term strategic competition with revisionist powers. It is clear that we need to think hard about what competition is and what Special Operations Forces (SOF) require to address it. In On Competition: Adapting to the Contemporary Strategic Environment, we explore what competition means and outline a practical approach, bridging theory with practice. Competition is a consistent, natural occurrence across the history of human civilization. In the current and future security environment, states such as China, Russia, and Iran and non-state actors alike have new tools that allow them to pursue their interests in ways that undermine the existing international order and institutions.
Decision-Making Considerations in Support to Resistance by Will Irwin with Foreword by Lieutenant General Kenneth E. Tovo
The intent of this monograph is to reveal to Special Operations Forces (SOF) leaders and planners the variety of considerations facing decision makers, the approaches used in strategic- and operational-level decision making, and how they can better inform and influence that process with regard to special warfare. This monograph is a companion volume to two earlier works: Support to Resistance: Strategic Purpose and Effectiveness, and How Civil Resistance Works (And Why It Matters To SOF). This third volume describes some of the factors that decision makers have faced when considering support to resistance (STR) as a foreign policy option. This monograph should shed some light on how national security officials in the past have arrived at certain conclusions or why, in some cases, presidents have directed actions that were especially risky or controversial.

The Enemy is Us: How Allied and U.S. Strategy in Yemen Contributes to AQAP's Survival by Norman Cigar
In this monograph, Dr. Norman Cigar provides Special Operations Forces (SOF) commanders and planners with an overview of Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula's (AQAP) operational framework and presence in the area. He analyzes the strategic and operational issues that confront policymakers in responding to the threat posed by AQAP within Yemen's challenging social, political, and physical environment. This monograph presents the far-reaching implications for SOF, from recognizing the nuances of Yemen's tribal-based human terrain to understanding key relationships, rivalries, and competition between AQAP and other Yemeni players. AQAP will likely continue to represent a threat to U.S. interests and regional stability for the foreseeable future.

Preserving Sovereignty in a Borderless World by Charles W. Ricks
In this paper, Mr. Charles Ricks explores the post-Cold War geopolitical environment--one that has evolved into a dynamic, churning environment in which flows of populations, transnational crime, violent extremism, and threats from open-source networks and the global commons have affected both the domestic and international environments. The reemergence of national identities and grievances long buried within the relative stability of the decades following World War II, along with mass migrations, has presented political leaders with serious challenges to their governance and, in many cases, sovereignty. The fact is that the distinctions between domestic governance and international engagement have blurred because the events in places like the Middle East, Africa, Central and South America regularly have direct effects on governance issues faced by American political leaders--from villages and towns to the federal level. It is within this context that the cultural acumen and expertise SOF possess may be an important source of knowledge for both military and civilian leaders looking for ways to anticipate, not simply react to, these emerging events.

Russian Hybrid Warfare
Russian Hybrid Warfare, by Victoria Barber, Andrew Koch, and Kaitlyn Neuberger
Note: This is a Capstone project prepared for USSOCOM by graduate students in the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University.
The purpose of the research project was to provide a comprehensive review of the emerging threat of hybrid warfare, with a particular focus on the use of hybrid tactics by Russia against those states that were part of the former Soviet Union and contain what Moscow describes as having "near-abroad" Russian populations. The objective of the study was to examine the extent to which hybrid warfare represents the future of interstate conflict and the ramifications of Russian hybrid warfare against these states for NATO, the U.S. government, and particularly USSOCOM. The authors present three historical cases and one fictional, but plausible, scenario, which will be of benefit to wargame events. The authors provide a thorough review of the threat of hybrid warfare and conclude with nine specific recommendations for Special Operations Forces and USSOCOM.
Scoring the Long War
The score for the Long War can look very different depending on which scorecard is used. Emphasis is currently placed on historically-based, quantifiable, state-versus-state measures which attempt to correlate what we are doing with how we are doing. But the current fight against al-Qaeda is not a state-versus-state war and requires a different metrics that more accurately depict who is winning and who is losing.

Is Leaving the Middle East a Viable Option? by Thomas H. Henriksen
Dr. Thomas H. Henriksen in this publication provides a perspective on the challenging question, "Is Leaving the Middle East a Viable Option?" He lays out a convincing argument that historical involvement within the region based on commercial ties, the need to secure stable international oil supplies (for the U.S. as well as its allies), and engagement in the internecine Israeli-Arab conflict all remain critical security issues for the United States. He captures in a few pages volumes of information on the Middle East as he crafts and weaves the history of United States' involvement from 1783 to the present, highlighting the key policy-making decisions concerning the Middle East. The historical review provides the novice reader new understanding of the Middle East and the knowledgeable reader an excellent overview.

Educating for Strategic Thinking in the SOF Community: Considerations and a Proposal by Harry R. Yarger
The image of tactical "snake eaters" and individual and small unit tactical focus appear to be in direct contrast to the increasing stra-tegic role of SOF senior leaders and staff members. Equally important, increasingly SOF will be placed in situations where poor tactical decisions can have significant negative strategic consequences or the fleeting opportunity for positive strategic effect is revealed. How well are SOF personnel prepared for these roles and how best can the SOF "operator" acquire strategic awareness and appreciation and develop strategic thinking abilities for his level? The objective of this monograph is to examine the issue of "strategic thinking" in SOF-what is the future need and how should the community develop and better inculcate strategic thinking in its members.
Educating for Strategic Thinking in the SOF Community: Considerations and a Proposal
One Valley at a Time by Adrian T. Bogart III
The 2004 counterinsurgency campaign in Afghanistan was historic. Service personnel of general purpose, special operations, coalition, and irregular forces worked in unison to defeat the insurgency in a country stricken by war. Their unwavering trust, cooperation, close integration, collaborative planning, and nested execution were in many cases, textbook. In recognition of their professional effort, this case study captures many of the lessons learned in their planning and operations. Success in Afghanistan also came from the determination of millions of Afghans who were supported by these gallant sailors, soldiers, Marines, and airmen.

Blogs and Military Information Strategy by James Kinniburg and Dorothy Denning
A blog is a journal available on the Web that comes in many forms of potential influence: political, online diary, video, spam, mobile (Internet postings from a mobile phone, etc.), or travel, among others. The authors offer a balanced critique of the positive and negative aspects of blogging, and then offer the opportunities of this trend for influence operations.

The Changing Nature of Warfare, the Factors Mediating Future Conflict, and Implications for SOF by John B. Alexander
This paper challenges the prevailing sentiment regarding the nature of war. Designed to generate discussion on topics where little or none has been acceptable, it pushes the envelope of traditional political and military science thinking. It argues that the nature of war has changed at a fundamental level-that of definition. Further, information technology is so pervasive and interpenetrating that its impact cannot be relegated to mere alteration in the techniques by which war is prosecuted. Rather, information technology facilitates new social structures, exacerbates competing hierarchical beliefs, and, combined with other factors, enhances the ability of powerful nations, or other philosophical organizations, to impose their will on adversaries.
The Changing Nature of Warfare, the Factors Mediating Future Conflict and Implications for SOF
Dividing Our Enemies by Thomas H. Henriken
Henriksen's paper invites the SOF reader to revisit established doctrine for Foreign Internal Defense and Internal Defense and Development along with the complex issues about how to divide and conquer. It is likely that the intelligence needed for exploiting the differences among our enemies will result from these on-the-ground operations. And while lacking the glamour of direct action missions, the effects of special operations teams on the ground conducting unconventional warfare, psychological operations, and civil military operations are absolutely central to achieving an end-state of realizing democratic and viable governments. These are the special operations ways and means that can lead to successfully "leveraging inherent human fault lines to counter terrorism", as Henriksen writes. SOF warriors will agree that having our enemies eliminate each other offers advantages over slug-it-out methodologies.

The Asian Languages and Literatures program at the UMass Amherst consists of teaching and research faculty, language-teaching faculty, research-only scholars, visiting scholars from other universities abroad, and adjunct associated faculty. The first two categories make up the core faculty of sixteen members.
Currently, the Chinese and Japanese languages programs have approximately 90 undergraduate majors, many more minors, and roughly 20 MA graduate students. In an attempt to educate the campus about Asia in general and East Asia in particular, we accommodate both the student body at large at the University of Massachusetts with various general education courses as well as our own majors and minors with smaller courses that focus on discussion and communication rather than lectures.
The Asian Languages and Literatures faculty is a close-knit, friendly community of teacher-scholars that emphasizes the education of our students at all levels. Our students have gone on to graduate school in various fields of study and become professors; they have also found English-teaching jobs abroad, as well as jobs in business, publishing, government, and translation. In addition to its commitment to teaching, the faculty also publishes books and articles with leading academic presses and in well-known academic journals. The research and the publications of our faculty have resulted in fellowships from the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science and the Fulbright Scholar Program, an An Wang Postdoctoral Fellowship at the Fairbanks Center for Chinese Studies at Harvard, and an award from the Japan-U.S. Friendship Commission Prize for the Translation of Japanese Literature.

BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — Surgeons have reattached a Buffalo police officer"s ear after it was nearly shot off by a man who pulled out a gun during a traffic stop. The man was then fatally shot by another officer.
Buffalo police officials say Officer Joseph Acquino is in fair condition at Erie County Medical Center, where his ear was surgically reattached Sunday night.
Authorities say Acquino and his partner had pulled over 26-year-old Jose Hernandez-Rossy earlier Sunday for a traffic violation. Officials say he became combative and began struggling with the officers.
Police say Hernandez-Rossy fired a gun, grazing Acquino"s ear. Officer Justin Tedesco then shot Hernandez-Rossy, who was found several blocks away suffering from wounds to his upper arm and shoulder. He was pronounced dead at a hospital.

BorgWarner concludes Delphi takeover
BEVBorgWarnerDelphiDrivesHEVPHEVsuppliers
BorgWarner has completed the acquisition of Delphi Technologies. The US-American automotive supplier wants to use the acquired know-how in electronics and power electronics to become one of the leading companies for electric drive systems.
When the takeover was announced in January 2020, BorgWarner was quite clear about the primary goal of acquiring its competitor's know-how. Although BorgWarner clearly wants to be better equipped for the change to electric drives, the automotive supplier is still very much anchored in the world of combustion engines. BorgWarner's intent to increase capacities and expand their electronics and power electronics divisions is clear in their public announcement that the takeover of Delphi has been completed.
Delphi shareholders had already agreed to the deal in advance, and official approval procedures were also granted under specific conditions. These include, among other things, specifications for Delphi Technologies' debt burden. With the closing of the takeover, Delphi will no longer be traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).
"Through this combination, BorgWarner is even better positioned with a more comprehensive portfolio of industry-leading propulsion products and systems across combustion, hybrid and electric vehicles," said Frédéric Lissalde, President and CEO of BorgWarner upon announcing the conclusion of the takeover. "We expect that the combination will also strengthen our commercial vehicle and aftermarket businesses."
Delphi Technologies brings significant expertise including "industry-leading power electronics technology and talent, with an established production, supply and customer base," announces BorgWarner. The combined company will be able to offer standalone and integrated solutions to its power electronics customers. This includes high-voltage inverters, converters, on-board chargers, battery management systems and software as well as other solutions in the areas of system integration and thermal management.
Together with the announced, but not precisely quantified, additional capacities, BorgWarner says it is aiming to become one of the leading companies for electric drive systems.
Delphi itself emerged from the supplier business of General Motors in 1999. In 2017, the company will be split up; the Delphi Technologies division will concentrate on drive technologies, while the spin-off company Aptiv will focus on vehicle electronics, networking and autonomous driving. Aptiv is not affected by the takeover.
When the takeover was initially announced in January, Delphi was valued at 3.3 billion dollars in the deal. Now that the deal is closed, current BorgWarner shareholders will hold 84 per cent of the shares, while Delphi shareholders will hold 16 per cent.

Day 11 in my A-Z series was a day when 11 people were ruthlessly gunned down while in the "Tree of Life Synagogue" in Pittsburgh. My #11 word was Kindness.
How far from that concept was the mad gunman!
And now, on Day 12 of "What Makes Me Happy?" I am having trouble with happiness. I am wondering how Kindness fits into this equation of mass shooting. Surely I must find a way to exhibit kindness as a response to hate. Returning hate will not accomplish anything positive. I must concentrate on Day #12: "L" = Love.
Unlock the love in your heart! Reach out in love. Pray for the Jewish community. Pray for the fallen and their friends/family. Pray for the gunman and his family. Pray for all those who are prisoners of fear and hate.
Listen to the beautiful prayer attached here sung on 9-11 by Cantor Ari Schwartz. Pray for understanding, for peace, for a cessation of hate, a cessation of hateful rhetoric, and the unity of our nation – one nation under God. Listen to this beautiful Jewish prayer for the fallen and ask God to help us know how to be part of the solution, not part of the problem. Pray for unconditional love.
Get the sounds that make them move.
To keep my brains cells working actively.
My heart goes out today to the people of Aurora who have suffered this immense and mindless tragedy. To those who have lost their loved ones and to those who escaped with injuries this incident will never make any sense. The word WHY? will always haunt them. Already the nation is screaming for more protection, more security. And, yes, the Government has already set the security apparatus in motion and we will gladly surrender more of our freedom to be safe.
As much as this is the time for sympathy and healing it is also a time for soul-searching. It is easy to isolate this incident as an evil act of a madman and tighten security and move on with life. We have done this over and over again but the scourge of violence refuses to disappear.
Why will it, when we find so much joy in violence and feed our children this diet from the time they learn to walk? In fact violence has become so pervasive that it has overtaken our speech, entertainment, relationships, politics, culture, religion in fact, every aspect of human life.
In less than 15 years Colorado has suffered three senseless national tragedies in which scores of innocent lives have perished, not to speak of the mindless violence and killings that plague our cities every day. Just as hate begets more hate, violence begets more violence. So in the sacred memory of those who have died let us pledge to stop glorifying violence and to build a society of love, compassion, respect and understanding.
I was more than interested in these comments by Arun Gandhi. think Mr. Gandhi has made a very valid point. I'm sure it is one many of you have been pondering, too. How can we stop the violence while we glorify it in our society? What can we do to de-glorify violence and glorify compassion, respect, understanding, and love? Do you have any ideas?
Please write your suggestions in the comments area below.


So, there is the new update to Lightroom Classic CC and i got a problem. Using Win10 64bit and an Officejet 6700 Premium i cannot print borderless anymore. Before the update it works fine, but until now it doesn't accept the changes, i do in the page setup. Photoshop for itself still works fine and print borderless, but Lightroom Classic CC switches back the page setup from borderless to print with borders, so if i want to set the border on 0cm, it tells me to choose a value between 3,2mm and 142,5mm (by the way i try to print a 10x15cm page).
Even when i change the setup in the printer setup, it doesn't work. I restartet Lightroom, i reinstall the printer drivers, but i didn't take effect.
2. Under Print Settings dial up Paper Handling; Check 'Scale to fit paper size' and; under Destination Paper Size Select the same as in step 1: US Letter (Borderless, Auto Expand).
I wasted much time just fiddling with the page setup without dealing with print settings. You need to do both.
Every time i change the settings and check it later, they are resetted in "print with border". If i try the same way with Photoshop, it stills works and before the update it was working, but now i cant print borderless no matter in which size.
Is there anyone else, who has an idea?

This is the first volume of a two-volume textbook which evolved from a course (Mathematics 160) offered at the California Institute of Technology during the last 25 years. It provides an introduction to analytic number theory suitable for undergraduates with some background in advanced calculus, but with no previous knowledge of number theory. Actually, a great deal of the book requires no calculus at all and could profitably be studied by sophisticated high school students. Number theory is such a vast and rich field that a one-year course cannot do justice to all its parts. The choice of topics included here is intended to provide some variety and some depth. Problems which have fascinated generations of professional and amateur mathematicians are discussed together with some of the techniques for solving them. One of the goals of this course has been to nurture the intrinsic interest that many young mathematics students seem to have in number theory and to open some doors for them to the current periodical literature. It has been gratifying to note that many of the students who have taken this course during the past 25 years have become professional mathematicians, and some have made notable contributions of their own to number theory. To all of them this book is dedicated.

When is dental bonding considered?
Dental bonding is a procedure that is done by adding a tooth-colored, durable plastic material to a person's teeth to restore their smile. The material is applied to the tooth after being hardened by a special light that bonds that material on to the tooth.
Dental bonding is considered in multiple cases, for example, if a person needs to repair decayed teeth, the composite can be used to fill in cavities.
Also, dental bonding is useful for repairing chipped or cracked teeth, improving the appearance of discolored teeth, to close the space between teeth, change shape of tooth or make them longer.If you need assistance in deciding what dental procedures are the best for you, contact the Austin dental bonding services dentist, Lance Loveless, DDS, to discuss what procedures can help your unique needs by calling 512-347-8299.


Liven up your office with a good old raffle – for a worthy cause or just to tap into human beings' ability to gamble at the drop of a hat. More mundanely you can use raffle tickets as cloakroom tickets; or you can issue tickets to waiting customers as part of a queuing system. Raffle books contain duplicated, numbered tickets so that one set is distributed to individuals and the other set is used to identify the relevant corresponding ticket and hence the holder. In a raffle itself, this means drawing at random winners of prizes (in Australia and parts of the US, this is often plates of meat!). Paperstone sell books of raffle/cloakroom tickets numbered one to 500 and one to 1,000. There are six books per pack.
Although the raffle is commonly connoted with small-scale fundraising acceptable in places like churches and community halls, it is basically a form of lottery, the practice of which is very old. In the Old Testament book of Numbers, the Lord instructs Moses to distribute land to the people of Israel by lot. The Roman emperors Nero and Augustus similarly gave away property (and slaves, bless 'em) in such a manner during Saturnalian feasts and other jollities. The earliest archaeological lottery-related finds are Chinese Han Dynasty Keno slips believed to have been used to raise money for major government works like the Great Wall between 205 and 187 B.C.
Jumping further a bit the first modern European lotteries date from 15th century Flanders and Burgundy where monies were raised for fortifications and poor relief. The Encyclopædia Britannica cites a possible first lottery with cash prizes taking place in the Italian city-state of Modena in 1476. England's first recorded official lottery was chartered by Elizabeth I in 1566 though by then private raffles were probably already being practiced.
But the earliest OED citations for the word raffle itself (from c.1386) refer to a dice game, albeit with similar randomness involved – from Middle French rafle, in turn possibly from Germanic raffel. The sense of lottery is denoted from 1734. Some trace a lineage to the raffle as it is commonly practised today from a lottery-type game popular in Southern Italy – hence tombola, a revolving drum from which tickets (or numbered balls) a picked. Redirect tombola and raffle are indeed used fairly synonymously. So-called 'meat raffles' are popular in pubs in Australia and Minnesota, prizes being trays of meats or seafood. Raffles in the UK are sometimes used to circumvent licensing laws – there aren't any licensing restrictions in this country on offering drinks as prizes.

Happy Birthday, and the short legged but incredibly fat sausage dog said woof woof. Actually she said save me some cake.
Ta muchly, Pecora 😉 Tell incredibly fat sausage dog that chocolate is bad for her.
happy BLOG-day MM !!! sorry I still have the sparkling little black dress at the cleaners, so can I come over in my casuals? more fun blogging ahead……. ahahhahaha LOL already in advance!!
Congratulations, MM and here's to many more happy years of blogging. 🙂 You're so right about the lovely interesting people we meet and how much fun it is to read about their very different lives. Now off to explore that link…..
Thank you, Perpetua. Mr Blog is a member of the family now, and he has virtual brothers and sisters all over the planet! It's made a big difference to me to get to know you all via a common passion for writing- there's no looking back now 🙂 Thank you for clicking the link and leaving such a great comment on my competition entry!


Scholastic are offering Two (2) copies of Clarity by Kim Harrington!
To enter, just leave a comment letting me know how would you feel if you could see things no one else could?
For me it would be kid of weird at first because everybody would be starring at you and wouldn't be your friend.. but like after awhile i would get used to it.
I think it would be cool, but there's no way I could keep it a secret and probably would end up in the looney bin.
I think it would be really rough because everyone would think I was crazy, especially as a young kid when you tend to blurt out everything you see, not understanding that some things should be kept private.
I would like it -- but I don't think I would want my kids to have that ability.
I some respects I think it'd be great but in everyday life I think it would frighten me. Sometimes it's better not to know, if you know what I mean.
I don't think I'd want to see things others couldn't. I'm to anxious already. So ya it would be creepy, but I'd love to read about :).
I think it would come in handy at times, but overall I think it would become a burden.
I think I would feel special, but a little freaked out if I could see things other's couldn't. I'd try to use that "gift" to do something positive, like help others with closure or to bring a killer to justice.
I'm not sure I would like it. I think I would always be wondering if what I was seeing was real.
I think I would like it at first, but then after a while, I would be scared, esp if I know about crimes and stuff like that. I prefer to keep my mind sheltered most of the time, so having that ability would probably freak me out.
I think it would be cool but I don't think I would tell anyone other than maybe my best friend who I completely trust, I would hope she wouldn't think I was crazy thought.
If I could see things no one else could, I'd feel like I was going crazy. And that I couldn't talk to anyone about it or *they* would think I was crazy.
I live in my house with my hubby and 2 sons. I do see things no one else does...the laundry, the dirty dishes, the empty dog bowl,...etc, lol.
I'd love to be able to see things that no one else does. It'd be a hard secret to keep, but it would certainly make life interesting.
I'd think I had gone round the bin.
I think it would seem cool but really it would be scary. To know that you can touch things and you can see things. That would be scary because what if it is something you don't want to see. No thank you. That is one super power that is not on my wish list.
I would worry about my sanity.
I think it would really depend on what I was seeing. And whether or not I had to tell someone what I saw. I'm sure at times it would be awesome. But other times could be really difficult.
As cruel as some people can still be I'd try to conceal it aas much as possible unless it was serious and needed to be shared.
If I could see things no one else could, I would start freaking out. In books, when the protagonist sees things no one else can, bad things happen to them or at least the bad guys find them. I'd rather not see them.
Being able to see things no one else could would be good and bad. I would love to be able to see the good things, but I would hate to see the bad. How frightening that would be!
I don't think I would like it. It would put alot of stress on you, even if you did handle it well. You would always know things other people don't.
I would imagine it would be lonely. Since you are the only one who could see it, no one else would understand about it. But every once in awhile, I think it would come in handy.
I think initially I'd be thrilled. If I couldn't control it or turn it off, it would then probably become a problem.
At first I think I'd think I'm crazy. Then over time I'd probably think it's just really cool!
I would not want to see things other people can't...I am crazy enough without giving people extra reasons to think so.
I am not sure how I would feel if I could see things no one else could. I would think that it would take some getting used to to learn what others could see and what they couldn't so I wouldn't make a fool of myself. It would be a difficult thing to live with I'm sure.
I'm not really sure how I would feel. I think it would just be one heck of a roller coster of emotions lol.
It would be most unnerving. I'm sure that my mental state would be very suspect.
If I could see things that no one else could I would seriously be freaked out. I don't think I could handle having that kind of power.
I think it would probably be really creepy!
I think it would be really intense and difficult, because you would be experiencing all of these things but not be able to show that you were seeing them because people would not understand if you were seeing things that they themselves couldn't see.
On the other hand, it would certainly be helpful in terms of investigating and learning more about people, though that could also be considered a curse since you would know things that people had yet to tell you, and they might be things you never wanted to know about this person.
Thank you for the thought provoking question and the giveaway!
I think I would have a hard time seeing and knowing things no one else could. For one thing, not everything you found out would be nice. And it would be hard on me to know things, especially bad things..like knowledge about a murderer and not be able to tell someone because I would have no proof. Definitely not an ability I would prefer to have.
It would make me feel special but isolated. I think it would become a burden after a while.
Sounds like one of those things that usually has you lumped into the "weird" girls that small-minded people tend to avoid. Not fun.
I think it would be very creepy I would not like it at all! Thank you so much for the great giveaway!
I think it would make me feel crazy.
leave a comment letting me know how would you feel if you could see things no one else could?
It would be a very hard thing to deal with....A need to make people believe you! so hard but could be very helpful too.
Probably both terrified and intreagued at the same time, you know? Cause it would be cool but scary, cause I would be more of a freak than I am now. Gah!
I think that it would be incredibly unsettling and would take a good long while to adjust to such.
If I could see things that no one else could, I think I would be happy at first maybe a little scared, and then, just maybe, sad. Knowing things is not always a gooding thing expectly if it belongs to the people you love. Thanks for the giveaway, I would really love to win this book.
I think it would be fun to see things no one else can. It's like you have this cool power over everyone else.
I would like it if people believed me, but I wouldn't want to be sent to the loony bin!
It would be kinda freaky to see things no one else could see. But I think it would be pretty cool too.
