The Bachelorette's Zac C Opens Up About Past Substance Abuse2021-01-042021-01-04https://www.clearbrookinc.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/clearbrook-logo-dark.pngClearbrook Treatment Centershttps://www.clearbrookinc.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/blog.jpg200px200px
From former addict to addiction specialist, The Bachelorette's Zac C has won the hearts of many, including Tayshia Adams. The 36-year-old wanted to be completely open and honest with Tayshia if he was going to make her his future wife. In a recent interview, Zac C opens up about past substance abuse. He revealed how after graduating college, he found out he had a brain tumor and underwent surgery. After the surgery, Zac C was introduced to pain medication.
Zac calls himself a "degenerate alcoholic and drug addict". Overtime, Zac C's addiction to prescription pills escalated. He was using Dilaudid and morphine. He went as far as to ask his doctors if he could get his gall bladder removed just so he could get more heavy painkillers. It was apparent that Zac was showing signs of doctor shopping.
This led Zac C to go on an 8-month long drug binge. He was using heroin intravenously, smoking crack, and inhaling nitrous oxide until he was arrested for a DUI and drug possession.
Zac C found himself at rock bottom when he was stealing checks from his father. At this point, he knew he had to change his life and get sober. It's so inspiring that Zac was able to recognize that he needed addiction treatment and sought help. Zac C's sobriety shows that there is hope!
If you're not sure how to tell if your loved one is addicted to prescription pills, look for signs such as mental confusion, drastic weight loss, and doctor shopping. If you notice these signs in yourself or a loved one, get help immediately. Zac C's recovery journey exemplifies the importance of sobriety. At Clearbrook Treatment Centers, we are here to help those who are struggling with various substance abuse problems.

FEMA, with the assistance of Glades County Emergency Operations Center and the Hendry County Emergency Operations Center are joining forces to establish a community-based long-term recovery program for our two counties. Long-term recovery is the period following a disaster (in this case Hurricane Irma) when the affected community and its residents return to a new normal state of living. A Long-term Recovery Group is usually established by the community, often with outside assistance, in order to help its most vulnerable residents through the recovery process. This group continues to coordinate services after FEMA is no longer able to provide continued disaster relief services.
Many other counties in the State of Florida are either in the process of establishing these community-based voluntary organizations for disaster recovery or they already have a community-based long-term recovery programs. The Glades /Hendry County Disaster Recovery Group needs volunteers from our communities to help case managers coordinate the necessary services for those families with unmet needs.
The mission of the Glades/Hendry Long-term Recovery Group is to support households and businesses impacted by disaster to recover and rebuild. The aim of this group is to strengthen and streamline disaster coordination by sharing information, facilitating dispersal of funds, resources and other services in coordination with federal, state and local authorities and agencies.
The recovery group is made up of ordinary citizens who are willing to spend a little of their time and/or talent as well as representatives from faith-based, civic, nonprofit, government, business and other organizations (such as the American Red Cross, Salvation Army and United Way) to assist individuals and families as they recover from a disaster. The sole purpose is to match disaster-caused needs with community resources to help families recover.
For further information and meeting times interested parties may contact Marisa Shivers at the Glades County Emergency Operation Center at 863-946-6020.

Czech cyberbullying series #martyisdead wins country's first International Emmy Award
The eight-part series that streams online looks at how bullying seriously affected one teenager.

A Czech series has won an International Emmy Award for the first time. The online show #martyisdead, dealing with cyberbullying, won for Best Short-form Series.
It was one of 12 programs from seven countries to win prizes at the 48th International Emmy Awards. Series producers Milan Kuchynka and Vratislav Šlajer received the award at an online ceremony. A third producer, Jakub Košťál, was not present.
The award program was broadcast from an empty theater in New York City, with the nominees attending remotely. The Czech winners can be seen in the online video of the ceremony by choosing the segment in the menu on the right of the screen.
Kuchynka spoke first when the award was announced. "The Czech Republic is a small country, and Mall.TV is a small TV [station] but this award is a big success for us, and a huge motivation for the future," he said.
Šlajer thanked and listed the people who helped create the show. "This is incredible. Thank you very much," he added.
Kuchynka told the Czech News Agency (ČTK) that the unexpected award made him very happy. "I did not expect it at all. Even the nomination for the award was a huge success," he said.
He added that cyberbullying is something that troubles many people, especially parents. "I as a parent and all the makers consider it a mission to get this information out," he said.
Bionaut, one of series' production companies, responded enthusiastically to the win. "Remember Nagano? That's exactly how we feel now! #martyisdead wins an International Emmy! Congratulations to the creators and thanks to everyone who supported Marty and who was with us," they said on Facebook, referring to Czech ice hockey team winning the Gold Medal at the 1998 Winter Olympics in Nagano.
Mall.TV, which streams the series, on said on Facebook they began two years ago with the idea of creating Internet television and the dream that its content could one day become global. "Not many people believed us then, but today we have proved that the Czech Republic can also make a world-class production," they said.
The eight-episode series can be watched online with English subtitles on the Mall.TV website.
Pavel Soukup directed the series, which is written by Jaroslav T. Miška and Jan Stehlík. The lead role of Marty is played by Jakub Nemčok.
The life of 15-year-old Marty is examined in the series. He committed suicide but left behind a large digital footprint. His father pieces together Marty's online life to try to find out what caused his son's death.
The series also won the main prize at the Serial Killer Festival and a Jury Award at the Austin Film Festival.

The City of Sydney is encouraging new ways of thinking about housing. The Alternative Housing Ideas Challenge is open to anyone with new and innovative ideas for the housing sector. Up to 6 participants will receive $20,000 each to further develop their concepts following consideration by an independent jury.
Stephen Varady is the registrar of the ideas challenge.
Why were you selected as registrar of the ideas challenge?
I have prepared and run design processes in Australia for over 25 years.
I have run 2 competitions on behalf of the City of Sydney: the Green Square Library and Plaza and the Gunyama Park and Aquatic Centre. Both were anonymous 2-stage design challenges, where highly imaginative concepts created by very talented, less established architects were uncovered. The library and plaza is complete. The park and aquatic centre is under construction.
I also ran Wagga Wagga Civic Centre Architectural Design Competition. The centre was built and recently celebrated its 20th anniversary. Last year, I ran the Frankston Station Design Challenge for the Victorian Government.
What sort of ideas is the challenge encouraging?
The City is looking for new and innovative ideas that go beyond the traditional categories of social, community and market housing.
The challenge will contribute to the delivery of alternative and affordable housing outcomes that are replicable and scalable, for use by the local and broader community.
The City is looking for new ways to deliver, finance, build and manage affordable alternative housing.
Ideas can challenge current planning regulations. We are interested in concepts that look beyond the market-dominated norms.
Participants may focus on financing, strategic thinking or design-led solutions - or a combination of these.
In essence, this ideas challenge is about thinking in new, creative and positive ways to uncover boundary-changing attitudes towards the future of housing.
What will the process be for choosing up to 6 shortlisted proposals?
Once participants have lodged their proposals in line with the ideas challenge conditions, the City's contact officer and probity adviser will audit them to ensure they meet the eligibility criteria and don't contain any visible markings identifying the author.
An independent jury of professionals will then go through all anonymous eligible proposals.
At the close of deliberations, the independent jury will recommend the City funds up to 6 proposals to further develop those ideas.
Who'll benefit from alternative housing models?
Everyone - locally, nationally and internationally - could benefit from the delivery of new alternative housing models.
This includes individuals and families that don't currently have access to affordable housing and cities looking to alleviate demands on housing supply. There are also broader community benefits in realising integrated social equity outcomes.
What does this challenge mean for Sydney's future?
This challenge recognises the need for continued leadership on housing affordability. Access to alternative and affordable housing is an essential component of a diverse, cohesive, and economically successful global city.
The potential is there for Sydney to be a true world leader in alternative housing thinking and provision. Sydney may well influence other cities around the country and around the world to follow.
View more information about the Alternative Housing Ideas Challenge.
The City of Sydney has launched an online survey to help create our new strategic plan for 2050 - and we want to hear from you.

'Courts, Blacks at Early Modern European Aristocratic', Encyclopaedia of Blacks in European History and Culture (2008),Vol. I, pp. 163-166.
William Hogarth's Taste in High Life (1746)
People of African origin or descent were present at most European royal and aristocratic courts during the early modern period, where they performed a variety of roles ranging from stable hand to prince. Africans had long been part of court culture, but numbers increased as a result of European involvement in the slave trade to the Americas from the fifteenth century onward. Africans were not only a source of cheap labour, but also functioned as exotic symbols of power and wealth.
Europeans had employed black musicians and entertainers at court since at least 1194, when Holy Roman Emperor Henry VI (1165-1197) was accompanied by turbaned black trumpeters on his triumphal entry into Sicily. In 1470 a "black slave called Martino" was purchased to be the trumpeter on board the Neopolitan royal ship Barcha. Henry VII of England employed a black trumpeter named John Blanke, who was paid 8d a day in 1507. Henry VIII retained Blanke's services. The Westminster Tournament Roll of 1511, which commemorates the celebrations that marked the birth of a short-lived son to Henry VIII and Katharine of Aragon, depicts a black trumpeter believed to be Blanke.
Elizabeth I had a "Lytle black a more" boy at her court and Anthonie Vause, a black trumpeter, was employed at the Tower of London in 1618. A Moorish "taubronar" or drummer devised a dance with 12 performers in black and white costumes for the Shrove Tuesday celebrations at the court of James IV of Scotland (1473-1513) in 1505. Teodosio I, Duke of Bragança (1510-1563) had ten black musicians, who played the charamela (a wind-instrument). A 1555 list of galley slaves belonging to Cosimo I de' Medici (1519-1574) of Florence included a moro negro described as a trumpeter. In 1713, Frederick William I, later king of Prussia, asked for "several black boys aged between 13 and 15, all well-shaped" to be trained as musicians for his military regiments.
Blacks were often employed in royal and aristocratic stables. In 1507 the Duke of Medina Sidonia had seven black slaves working in his stables in Seville. Don Antonio, Prior of Crato (1531-1595) had a Moor named Antonio Luis working in his stable in Evora, brought from Tangiers, where he had been governor. Teodosio I of Bragança had 20 black stable boys. Blacks are often depicted handling horses in portraits, such as Daniel Mytens, King Charles and Queen Henrietta Maria Departing for the Chase (c.1630-32). Blacks were often excellent horsemen, such as the 'Mour' described in a letter from Lady Home to Mary of Guise in 1549 as being "as scharp a man as rydis."
Blacks were also employed in the kitchen. King Joao III (1502-1557) gave his bride Catherine of Austria (1507-1578) a black pastry chef and confectioner named Domingos de Frorenca as a wedding present in 1526. They also had a black cook named Manuel. 'James the Blackamoor' was cook in the household of the Earl of Bath in Devon from 1639 to 1646.
The wealthiest aristocrats had the largest numbers of black slaves. Cardinal Luigi d'Este (1538-1586) had 80 slaves in his villa at Tivoli outside Rome. When they rebelled in 1580, he bought another 50. Teodosio I of Bragança owned 36 slaves: the Bragança were the most powerful noble family in Portugal, and eventually became her kings in the seventeenth century. Catherine of Austria, queen of Portugal from 1526 to 1557, was granted a yearly number of slaves from the customs houses. There were several blacks at the court of Louis XIV (1643-1715), including one presented to Queen Marie Therese in 1663. In 1680 Frederick William of Brandenberg established a Prussian outpost on the Gold Coast so that he could adorn his court with a few 'handsome and well-built' African men.
As a further display of wealth, black attendants were decked in rich clothes and jewellery. In 1577, Elizabeth I of England bought a "Garcon coate of white Taffeta, cut and lined with tincel, striped down with gold and silver…pointed with pynts and ribands" for her "lytle Blackamore." In 1491 Isabella D'Este asked Giorgio Brognolo, her agent in Venice, to obtain "una moreta" between 1 ½ and 4 years old, and "as black as possible". Darker skin was preferred, for it contrasted effectually with the diamond or pearl earrings with which the Africans would be adorned. It also set off the fair skin so prized by aristocratic women as depicted in portraits, where it was increasingly fashionable for a lady to be shown with a black attendant.
Some blacks took advantage of the opportunities available at court to advance themselves, either through education or military pursuits. João de Sa Panasco (fl.1524-1567), who began as a court jester in Lisbon, went on to become a gentleman of the household, king's valet, a soldier who participated in Charles V's campaign in North Africa in 1535 and finally member of the prestigious Order of Santiago. The Moor depicted by Jan Mostaert in a portrait (c.1525-30) seems to have reached a high status at the court of Margaret of Austria at Malines. The famous scholar Juan Latino (d.1590) grew up in the household of the Duke of Sessa in Granada, where he accompanied his young master to daily grammar classes, and eventually became a published author and lecturer at the University of Granada. Anton Wilhelm Amo, baptised in 1707 at Salzthal Castle, the home of the Duke of Wolfenbuttel, was to become a philosopher, with degrees from Universities of Halle and Wittenberg. Abraham Hannibal came to the court of Tsar Peter I (1672-1725) in Moscow in 1705 having been purchased by the Russian ambassador in Istanbul. He became a military engineer and major general. His great-grandson was Alexander Pushkin.
Not all blacks at European courts were purchased slaves. Visitors and ambassadors from Ethiopia and Congo were not uncommon. In 1488, Senegalese Prince "Bemoim" visited King Joao II in Lisbon. In 1491, Ercole d'Este of Ferrara began the practice of washing the feet of "religiosi indiani", which were probably Ethiopian monks on their way to Rome as pilgrims. Some "blak More freirs" or friars were James IV's guests at the Scottish court in 1508. In 1544 Dom Henrique, nephew of the King of Congo, visited Lisbon. Pope Leo X later consecrated him as a Bishop. A Morrocan embassy visited England in 1600. From 1652 to 1658, Abba Gregoryus, an Ethiopian priest, stayed at the court of Ernest, Duke of Saxony in Saxe-Gotha, where he tutored German scholar Job Lludolf in the languages of Ge'ez and Amharic.
One man of African descent actually ruled an early modern court. Alessandro de'Medici (1510-1537), the illegitimate son of a black woman, Simonetta da Colle Vecchio, became the first hereditary duke of Florence. Many European Royal Houses can trace their descent back to him.

BAGHDAD – A series of car bombs on Saturday ripped through a crowded marketplace and a Shiite militia's checkpoint, killing a total of 19 people in separate attacks north of the Iraqi capital Baghdad, officials said, as the country's prime minister vowed to punish those who smashed ancient artifacts in a northern city.
Police said the first attack took place Saturday morning when a car bomb exploded near a busy market in the town of Balad Ruz. Minutes later, a second car bomb went off, targeting people who gathered to inspect the site of the first blast.
Balad Ruz is 70 kilometers (45 miles) northeast of Baghdad.
Later on, a suicide bomber drove his explosive-laden car into a checkpoint manned by Shiite militiamen who are fighting Islamic State militants near the city of Samarra, killing eight Shite fighters and wounding 15 others.
Police said clashes erupted between Iraqi security forces and Islamic State militants following the attack in areas around Samarra, 95 kilometers (60 miles) north of Baghdad.
Nobody immediately claimed responsibly for the attacks. Iraq sees near-daily attacks that are often claimed by the Islamic State group, which seized about a third of the country last year. Iraqi security forces backed by Shiite militiamen have been struggling to retake areas lost to the group.
Meanwhile in Baghdad, Iraq's Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi vowed to track down and punish those who were behind the smashing of rare ancient artifacts in the northern city of Mosul.
The destructions are part of a campaign by the extremists, who have destroyed a number of shrines — including Muslim holy sites — in order to eliminate what they view as heresy. They are also believed to have sold ancient artifacts on the black market to finance their bloody campaign across the region.
"Those barbaric, criminal terrorists are trying to destroy the heritage of the mankind and Iraq's civilization. We will chase them in order to make them pay for every drop of blood shed in Iraq and for the destruction of Iraq's civilization," said al-Abadi during a celebration held in the Iraqi National Museum in Baghdad on Saturday.
He said that Islamic State militants destroyed some of the Mosul artifacts, and are smuggling others.
Mosul, Iraq's second-largest city, and the surrounding Nineveh province fell to the militants as Iraqi security forces melted away during the Islamic State group's summer blitz.

A Door in the Woods is the first book in James Dashner's Jimmy Fincher Saga, and it's a decent start to the series and a decent first book for Dashner. The writing isn't all that bad, but there is room for growth. Dashner relies a little too heavily on what I'm sure he is trying to play off as quaint, southern colloquialisms. Every character in the book uses them, and after several chapters, it gets a little old.
Jimmy Fincher is your typical, fourteen year old boy, who happens to stumble upon a secret that could change the world. Through his adventures, he uncovers family secrets, villains, enigmatic benefactors and unlikely friends. Unlike the typical YA book today, Jimmy has a solid family unit around him that he relies on and that supports him throughout the entire book. I find this a refreshing change.
While I could see where the book may have benefited from a little tighter editing, overall A Door in the Woods is a fun read and I think most kids would find it enjoyable; it's filled with adventure, mystery, intrigue and life or death situations. I'm looking forward to reading the rest of the series.

The 27 acre land site where George Pearson Centre is located will soon be redeveloped. CARMA and the Pearson Centre Residents Council are facilitating the Pearson Residents Redevelopment Group (PRRG) to ensure that there is an independent voice for Pearson residents during the redevelopment of the Pearson Lands. PRRG has been playing an active role in the planning process.
The EDEN Alternative is an innovative philosophy of long-term care. It believes that loneliness, helplessness and boredom account for most of the suffering experienced by residents living in long-term care. The EDEN Alternative seeks to eliminate these by creating a vibrant living and working environment for its residents and staff.
In 2008, the residents at George Pearson Centre engaged in a participatory action research project called Envisioning Home. The results confirmed the importance of moving the EDEN Alternative philosophy of care forward. In order to improve the quality of life at Pearson Centre, the residents support the implementation of the EDEN Alternative and constantly strive to insert EDEN into discussions about services at Pearson.

...is freedom of movement within Europe still possible?
To mark the final public debate of what has been a phenomenally successful year for the club, we staged a showcase debate between three of the Founder Members of our new training programme - the Great Debaters Club - and three of the best debate trainers in the UK.
The teams included: a senior risk manager, an intelligence analyst, and a charity worker (on the members side) go head to head with a professional lobbyist, an investigative journalist, and the Director of prisoner debate training charity, Vocalise (on the trainers side).
It is normally our custom to end the year with a light-hearted humorous debate, but after the tragic events of 13th November in Paris, we wanted to use the collection of talent at our disposal to hold an exceptional debate on how to respond to the Paris attacks, an issue that many still find very difficult to discuss while emotions are riding so high.
Why a written summary and not a video?
All public debates take place under what is known as Chatham House Rules. This means that whatever the speakers say in the debate chamber must not be broadcast to the wider world. This is because we encourage our members to speak in defence of positions they disagree with in order to stretch themselves. If they are to take up this challenge they need to know they are free to make such arguments without compromising their reputation with their employers, clients, partners, or friends.
So, instead, we make a written record of their arguments and the questions they were asked in the form of these summaries, so we can analyse what they said without directly attributing it to them. Ultimately, this also supports one of our core goals - to move the focus of debates away from the speakers and on to the arguments.
The purpose of a debate is to make a decision when there are multiple options on the table. As such, debates have motions - a proposed belief or course of action - rather than topics - an open question up for discussion. This is why the speakers are required to take a side, so that the arguments in favour and against can all be heard and considered to allow the audience to make the best possible decision.
The motion for this debate focused on one of the biggest questions European leaders have been grappling with since the attacks on Paris: is it possible to allow complete freedom of movement between different countries within Europe without jeopardising their internal security? To properly examine this question, we needed to propose a specific motion and have our speakers go through the arguments for and against.
So we can see how many people change their minds during a debate, we take a preliminary vote - to see where the audience stands before they've heard the arguments - and a final one at the end of the debate. The audience have the option of voting in favour of the motion, voting against it, or abstaining if they are still undecided.
The preliminary vote made it clear that this debate would always be an uphill battle for the proposition team and the Q&A told us why. 10 out of the 16 questions and comments made by the audience were directed towards them and most of them were directly critical of their policy.
There is a viable solution available.
Implementing this solution will solve the problem without causing even more harm.
Lax border controls weren't the cause of the Paris attacks and that worse attacks had happened before without prompting this reaction.
Tightening borders would do little to prevent another attack from happening in the future.
The policy would nevertheless cause significant harm to law-abiding citizens despite not solving the original problem it was designed to address.
All the while, the few audience contributions directed towards the opposition team were phrased as requests for more information (with one exception), showing they were still open to being persuaded.
The proposition team valiantly fought their corner during the Q&A, responding to each and every question, but they became increasingly defensive, simply denying the concerns of the audience would be realised without explaining why and accusing the opposition team of misrepresenting their arguments. The fact that the latter claim was actually true didn't help them. People don't vote for one to team to punish the other for being mean to them - they vote for the team they found most convincing.
One important disclaimer though is that it is clear the audience walked into this debate with a pre-conceived opinion on this topic, putting the proposition team at an immediate disadvantage. The result, therefore, was not so much a reflection on the quality of their arguments, which (speaking as a debate trainer) were well structured and compelling, but simply a reflection of their failure to overturn a significant handicap.
Definitions - make it abundantly clear what the motion you are defending means. Schengen Area is not a term most people will automatically be familiar with. Even the concept of free movement within the EU needs to be explained clearly, such is the length of time that British citizens have taken this privilege for granted. In this debate, the ambiguity over the definition of the motion allowed the opposition team to tell scare stories about European citizens needing to pay for visas to work in each other's countries. This was never the case, but the audience will believe it is unless it is properly refuted.
Comparisons - policy debates are rarely a matter of right and wrong and more often a choice between the lesser of two evils. So, when you are facing scrutiny from the audience on your proposal, you must always remember to compare the outcomes you are predicting for your own policy with those predicted by the other side. It is understandable to want to use all your time to prove your idea is perfect, but that's unlikely to happen and is unnecessary when all you need to prove is that is simply better than the alternative.
Questions - debates are won and lost in the Q&A. This can be seen as a daunting prospect, but should be viewed as an opportunity to test and monitor the impact of your arguments - specifically by listening to how many of your own lines are repeated back by the audience in a form of a question or a comment to the other team. A particularly useful tactic is to finish off an answer with a rhetorical question about the other team's proposal and then see how long it takes the audience to turn it into an actual question. In addition, if the question is asked more than once, then that means the answer wasn't satisfactory, which is then your cue to zero in on this uncertainty when responding to the it yourself - one of the advantages of giving both teams a right of reply to every question.
The first public debate of 2016 will be held at the Tea House Theatre on Wednesday 6th January at 7.30 pm. The motion will be confirmed closer to the time, so join our mailing list now if you want to be notified of the details when they are announced.
Our first training workshop of the new year will be a one day masterclass for beginners, which will be held at Wedge Issue restaurant on Saturday, 9th January from 10.30 am to 4.30 pm. Admission is free for members of the Great Debaters Club - you can review the full training programme for 2016 here.

One of our customers, Ian Christie, has been experimenting with finishing off both sides of his intarsia.
He doesn't use a backing to glue the individual pieces on to. Because he cuts them out so accurately he is able to do without a plywood backing and just glue all the individual pieces together.
The front of the intarsia is contoured as normal, while the back is sanded flat. The images below, from Ian, will show you what he's been up to.

The first apostle was a woman
Posted by nelsonkraybill on August 7, 2014 June 23, 2015
The twelve were with Jesus, as well as some women who had been cured of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary, called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out, and Joanna, the wife of Herod's steward Chuza, and Susanna, and many others, who provided for them out of their resources. Luke 8:1-3
For centuries, popular portraits of Mary Magdalene made her out to be a prostitute. She more likely was a woman of exceptional character and conviction. Luke says "seven demons" had gone out of Mary, perhaps indicating that she was a survivor of mental illness, abuse or trauma. Christian imagination unfairly conflated Mary Magdalene with the woman of suspect reputation who anointed Jesus' feet (Luke 7:36–50).
The synagogue found at Magdala has stone benches against the outside walls (in the far room), and some floor mosaics survive.
Archeologists recently excavated a place that Mary Magdalene probably knew well: a first-century synagogue at the village of Magdala on the west side of the Sea of Galilee. Discovered in 2009 when a hotel was under construction, the synagogue and adjacent buildings at last are open to the public. Only part of the floor and foundation of the synagogue are intact. But with just six synagogues from the biblical era remaining in all of Israel-Palestine, the place is priceless.
In the first century Magdala was a fishing village on the west shore of the Sea of Galilee. Jesus was based at Capernaum during his Galilean ministry. Disciples Philip, Andrew and Peter came from Bethsaida.
We cannot be certain that Magdala was Mary's hometown, but her name makes the connection probable. The Gospels tell of Mary's extraordinary devotion to Jesus. She apparently was a person of some means who, along with other women, funded the itinerant ministry of Jesus and the twelve (Luke 8:1-3). Among the women financiers was none other than the wife of Chuza, the steward of Herod Antipas! Did "that fox" know his steward's household was helping to fund Jesus?
When the four Gospels name women disciples, Mary Magdalene usually comes first. She is the only disciple recorded as being present at the crucifixion, the burial, and the resurrection of Jesus. The Gospels of Mark and John indicate that the risen Christ appeared first to Mary Magdalene. She carried the news that Jesus was alive to the rest of the disciples in Jerusalem, an act for which Early Church authors called her the "apostle to the apostles." Mary Magdalene was the first apostle.
It is possible that Mary Magdalene and other women in the disciple band had their profiles diminished by a patriarchal church. Nowhere is such devaluation more evident than in the Gnostic Gospel of Thomas (second century AD). When Peter asks Jesus about Mary Magdalene's role in the kingdom of God, this Gospel has Jesus say, "I shall lead her, that I may make her male, in order that she also may become a living spirit like you males. For every woman who makes herself male shall enter into the kingdom of heaven" (Gospel of Thomas 114).
Let the church today repent of devaluing women as disciples and leaders. Let us restore Mary Magdalene to the position she deserves: the first apostle, the natural leader of the women who followed Jesus just like Peter was natural leader of the men.

B. H. Roth says:
Interesting writing. But to call Mary Magdelene an 'apostle" is that accurate? Isn't an "apostle" one who establishes churches and then visits and writes to them to help encourage and solve any problems they are having? Is there evidence that she did this? I once visited Santiago de Compostela in Spain where the apostle James' bones are said to rest just as an example of how far the apostles may have travelled to spread the gospel, but Mary? I've never heard her called an apostle or anything about her ever travelling as Paul did.


Now that I've got some experience with plant-based macros and results under my belt, I wanted to share some of the tools for flexible dieting that have helped me reach my goals. I've found these inexpensive products to be key to my success. Stock up with everything you need to eat to perform at your best!
This the first thing you'll need to begin your flexible dieting journey. Weighing your food will be the cornerstone of your success, especially when you're just starting out. Measuring what I'm eating has completely changed how I eat. It's very easy to underestimate how much you're eating and portion control is key to successful flexible dieting. By weighing your food, you'll have the confidence you're eating just what you need, not more and not less.
By measuring out exact serving sizes, it allows us to include any and all foods in our diet, in moderation, meaning nothing is off limits as long as you can make it work in your macros.
You don't need anything fancy. My food scale was under $20 and I've been using it for over a year with no issues.
This little tool is a super handy kitchen gadget if you're cooking the same dish for more than one person or more than one meal in different amounts. Simply pop it into the pan, add your measure foods on either side and you're all set! No more estimating after the fact, or having to use multiple pots and pans to cook.
3. Vegetable spiralizer and/or julienne peeler.
My spiral slicer is one of my favourite kitchen tools, I use it at least a few times a week. It allows me to make healthy, pasta-inspired dishes from low carb vegetables like zucchini. When you're counting macros, you'll want to include a lot of high volume, low calories foods in your diet to help you feel full without breaking the macro bank. Whether you're tracking macros or just love healthy food, I would 100% recommend adding one to your kitchen!
I love my mandolin for making fat-free, low carb veggie chips, a must have when a salty and crunchy craving strikes! You can make delicious oven-baked chips from beets, zucchini, potato, sweet potato and even carrot! Simply slice evenly on the mandolin, toss with your favourite spices and bake in the oven until crispy.
Have a good set of food storage containers, in various sizes so you can always be prepared with healthy options. Planning and prepping will make your break you success with plant-based flexible dieting. You really do have to plan ahead and while I don't do much meal prep, I at least meal plan and buy everything I need ahead of time.
Fill up your containers will fresh, clean veggies ready to snack on or cook, prep homemade protein bars ahead of time, prepare all your snacks and your lunch the night before and if needed, keep your freezer stocked with meals that can easily be re-heated when you're extra busy. Even better if they're oven-proof for re-heating!
This is optional but I recently purchased a bag from Six Pack Fitnes Bags and I'm in love with it! I've upgraded from a cloth Lululemon tote bag to a full meal management cooler bag that fits all my food for the day, keeps it cool and has plenty of handy compartments. They're a bit of an investment but the quality is fantastic and I'd highly recommend getting one if you have long days out of the house.
I would recommend using a measuring tape to track your progress rather than solely going by the scale. This will give you a much better idea of changes since you may lose fat while gaining muscle and that change won't necessarily be reflected in bodyweight. Once every week or even month, jot down the measurements at your chest, hips and waist. Try adding them to a spreadsheet for easy tracking.
Buy one for under $5 on Amazon.
I would still recommend using a digital scale that that to check-in once a week. Depending on your goals you can weigh yourself daily, weekly or monthly. How often you weigh-in depends on your goals. If you weigh-in daily, use a spread sheet to calculate your weekly average since there is too much fluctuation day to day for an accurate snapshot of progress.
Don't worry too much if your scale is 100% accurate, as long as you're consistently using the same one you should be good. Try to weigh-in at the same time every day if you're taking your weight daily, if it's weekly, stick to the same time and day each week.
You don't need anything fancy, around $20 should do the trick!
9. Food processor and/or high-powered blender.
I use my food processed and/or blender at least a few times a day. I use it to make smoothies, dips, dressings, sauces, soups, nut butters, homemade flours and even to mix up the batter for healthy desserts. I use the Ninja Mega Kitchen System which comes with two individual blender cups, a food processor and a blender. I use the individual blending cups more or less daily to make sauces, healthy dressings and of course, banana ice cream and protein cookie dough!
The Ninja system comes in under $200, which I think is a great value. I've been using it for years and it's still working great. While I'd love a Vitamix or Blendtec and I see the value in the $600-800 price tag, for my purposes the Ninja has served me just fine. If you don't have one all ready, I'd highly recommend adding one to your kitchen. If you don't want to the the full Ninja system, start with the just the Ninja Professional Blender for around $120.
Other options are a hand-held immersion blender which is also very handy for dressings, soups and sauces, or a personal-sized blender such as the Nutri Ninja Pro.
10. Digital mixing bowl scale.
This is a bonus item but if you like to bake, it's a must have. Weighing certain ingredients is key to ensure accuracy, rather than going by volume amounts like 1 cup, 1 tbsp etc. You can use one of these mixing bowl scales so you can keep adding ingredients onto the scale, rather than measuring then using a separate bowl. It also makes it easier to determine serving sizes if you're making no-bake protein balls, for instance, since you'll have the total gram amount of the whole recipe.
11. Travel-sized digital food scale.
I haven't gone as far as travelling with or taking a pocket-sized food scale with me to restaurants but some people do. Depending on your goals and experience with flexible dieting, it might be something you want to look into though, especially if you travel a lot for work.
Staying hydrated is important regardless of how you eat and having a beautiful water bottle makes that a lot easier!
A slow cooker can be very helpful if you like to do meal prep, batch cooking or are very busy during the week. Like I've mentioned, a little preparation and planning goes a long way and a slow cooker is a great kitchen tool to help you prepare easy, healthy meals ahead of time. When I'm preparing meals on Sundays, I like to have one dish going in the slow cooker while I prep fresh veggies and snacks for the week. I find it saves a lot of mess and stay out of the way so I have more room in my little apartment kitchen.
My favourite things to make mine are applesauce, chili, soups, stews, beans and lentils, squash and big batches of oatmeal.
12. Healthy treat recipe resources.
My favourite blogs for macro-friendly healthy treats are Big Man's World, Skinny Taste, Fat-Free Vegan Kitchen and Chocolate-Covered Katie. While the recipes aren't all vegan on a few of those sites, most of them are easy to veganize, or have a vegan option provided. Add your favourite recipes into My Fitness Pal and you'll be all set to include treats in your diet while still hitting your macros.
Spend some time browsing Pinterest, do some research on lower carb, lower fat baking and cooking techniques and ingredients. Small changes and using healthier substitutions can go a long way in helping you reach your goals while keeping your sanity and still enjoying your food!
13. Time to go grocery shopping!
I hope that helps point you guys in the right direction and gives you some ideas and inspiration to make your macro journey fun, healthy and successful!
Thanks for another awesome article! I have used food scales, and measuring tools in the past but I have never come across a silicone pan divider. Thanks for the great advice, I will have to go out and grab one!
This is great! Do you recommend a website that you have used that gives you your macro numbers?
You can use Eat to Perform or IIFYM.com to find your macros.
Thanks for the good article. I will try the digital food scale.


It's the first day of school in Escambia County, with more than 40,000 students making their way to and from school. About 25,000 of them will be on board 300 school buses across the county.
Parents are reminded to instruct their children to be at the bus stop at least five minutes before scheduled bus arrival time, stay off of the roadway, observe and stay clear of traffic, stay out of the bus blind spots, don't chase after the bus once it leaves the bus stop, and buckle seat belts as soon as they board.
Motorists are reminded to give themselves plenty of time to get where they're going and to be patient in traffic. They should watch out for school buses, comply with bus-passing laws, and stay off of those cell phones.
I hope school bus drivers are instructed to NEVER let kids cross 5 lanes to get to the other side. You pray everyone stops like they should but that is not a given. I can envision someone not paying attention and swerving to the left into the paved center section to avoid hitting the car ahead and stricking a child. I hope bus drivers take the time to travel both directions during their route in that scenario.
Remember these are excited kids. They will turn around and run back to the bus for whatever. Make sure they are not running back. Stop 10 ft behind the bus! Not on its bumper. There is nothing more important than the children. Also, if you are a witness to a wreck, please stick around and say so.
I wish idiots on 9 Mile Rd remembered this. Few times a week there are morons who just don't stop, or are having to lock up the brakes to avoid a crash.
I have seen vehicles come up behind buses & pass on Hwy. 29 while stopped, & even worse while kids are unloading even up here in the north end of the county. There's crazies up here too not just in town. Use a little respect, thoughtfulness & common sense. If you don't want anyone taking chances with your kids please don't take chances with anyone else's. If you see a bus take precautions and do not try to time the kids getting off, just go ahead & slow down and Stop. I pray and hope nothing happens to any kid but I'm not going to be too understanding when you hit one or a bus when I saw you being careless, like not trying to slow down and you come up on them too quick because being truthful it wasn't an accident that you didn't see the bus, it was really that you were trying to time them where you wouldn't have to slow down or stop.


When people get married, have kids, get divorced, and then move on to date or marry other people…sometimes things can get messy.
The ex is a bit of a player. He's been dating the same two women on and off for years, sometimes one at a time, sometimes both together. Sometimes they know, and sometimes they don't.
My kids don't know EVERYTHING about his private life, because it's private. When they aren't with him, his actions are his own business. I thought.
Until he broke up with the "nice" lady, and blocked her number….in turn driving her crazy and causing her to reach out. TO MY KIDS.
Can I say that I felt the crazy wake up inside of me???
On one hand I feel for this lady, she always did seem to be on the short end of the stick. But, that was a low blow. You don't use someone's child to keep the drama alive. I know she must be so hurt, and angry, and not thinking clearly.
So I got her number, and I texted her. Believe it or not, I was not horrible.
But I did tell her to please not contact my kids, and they would be blocking her number.
I'm really proud of myself for being a grown up, because inside I still want to smack her for making my son cry, for manipulating him in order to get back at his father.
Guess what? I got a text back….. a profuse apology and acknowledgment of how awesome my kids are….
Yes. They are awesome. I hope awesome enough to learn from the mistakes of their parents, they sure seem to have more sense than us sometimes.


What's the Difference Between Incentive Travel & Travel Incentives?
What is the Difference Between Incentive Travel & Travel Incentives?
Many people do not understand that there is a difference between travel incentive programs for any individual, and the offering of incentive travel programs through a place of business aimed at inciting greater action and effort from employees, improving sales motivation, and rewarding sales increases. Travel incentives involve the use of travel based programs through credit cards usage, special purchases, banking transactions or even retail shopping incentives just to name a few. People who participate in the program receive travel awards based upon their spending habits. These rewards then offer travel at a reduced cost, or sometimes even free, for people who have garnered the incentive, and are allowed to choose, based on preset destination options, from a wide selection of locations to which they can redeem their incentive. Travel incentives often allow people to travel to destinations and locations that they might not normally be able to afford, but the hidden cost is the price of using the credit card, purchasing certain items, or participation in the program.
Incentive travel is a much different industry that appeals to businesses and corporations. Incentive travel programs are used for employees at a large or small corporation, who are most likely involved in sales, and can be attained based on meeting and achieving certain criteria previously agreed on, and will be articulately stated in the program details. The idea of incentive travel programs is that many people who work on a commission based payout – where accomplishments are directly rewarded, but the failure to obtain a certain number of accomplishments could mean the forfeiture of certain payouts – will feel the desire to push themselves harder in their field of work in order to attain additional perks provided by the company. Incentive travel programs have proven to be a valuable ally for businesses and corporations looking to improve and drive sales goals, as the presented opportunity to have an all expenses paid vacation to a wonderful destination has been well received by the majority of people involved in programs where such an incentive is offered.
Looking for a Great Way to Motivate Employees?

Advanced GPS Launch System Testing Transitions from Raytheon Factory to Schriever Air Force Base
Written by AZoSensorsApr 20 2017
The testing of the Launch and Checkout System for the Global Positioning System Next-Generation Operational Control System, known as GPS OCX, scored high with a pass rate of 97.7 percent and is now transitioning from the Raytheon factory to Schriever Air Force Base.

What is the Difference Between Force Measurement Techniques?
The LCS, which performs early orbit checkout, will next go through complete site-specific qualification and acceptance testing, including qualification and verification of the system's external interfaces and performance on the OCX hardware already installed at Schriever. Final cybersecurity checks and configuration audits will also be conducted.
"This achievement moves the system a step closer to delivering enhanced GPS for millions of users worldwide," said Dave Wajsgras, president of Raytheon Intelligence, Information and Services. "We remain confident in our path forward."
The U.S. Air Force-led GPS Modernization Program will yield new positioning, navigation and timing capabilities for U.S. military and civilian users across the globe. Developed by Raytheon under contract to the U.S. Air Force Space and Missile Systems Center, GPS OCX is replacing the current GPS operational control system and will support the launch of the GPS III satellites. The new system will provide enhanced performance, the effective use of modern civil and military signals and secure information-sharing with unprecedented cyber protection.

Home world Teacher cuts off hair of Down syndrome girl
Teacher cuts off hair of Down syndrome girl
Jesslyn Stirewalp
By: John Roberts
A teacher cut off the beautiful hair of a little Down syndrome girl without her family's consent, according to reports.
The North Carolina mother of the 7-year-old girl is very angry at the teacher for the incident.
"Most of the time, she brushed her hair. She was always doing something with her hair," Jesslyn's mother, Jessica Stirewalp, said.
Stirewalp said that a Millbridge Elementary School teacher in Rowan County, North Carolina, cut her daughter's hair during class this week.
"Her assistant called me and said: 'I hope you do not mind, but I cut your daughter's hair because she had food in it,'" Stirewalp said.
"Of course I was angry, but I asked how much, and she said four inches," the mother added.
Stirewalp said that she was shocked when Jesslyn got home from school.
"Instead of cutting it four inches, it was more like eight inches. When she entered the house, you could tell she thought she was in trouble," Stirewalp said. "I mean, it hurt my feelings, and I know it hurt her feelings," the mother said.
The mother said she has heard conflicting explanations about why Jesslyn's hair was cut. She said that the teacher initially told her by phone that it was because of food that was stuck Jesslyn's hair.
However, a letter from the teacher said that Jesslyn did not stop taking her hair down, so the teacher cut it, Stirewalp said.
When asked about the incident, the school principal, Christopher Smith, said, "I cannot comment on that." He directed questions to a Rowan-Salisbury school district spokesperson, who did not respond to a request for comment.
Jesslyn's family said the hairstyle has changed the girl.
"She looked at her hair and said, 'Pretty,'" her grandmother Mary Poole said. "She does not even go in front of the mirror anymore," she added.

New Appointments Meant to Improve Country's Defense: Palace
The Presidential Palace said the changes in leadership at the Interior and Defense Ministries are intended to improve the management of the country's defense amid the heavy fighting now taking place across the country.
"For the better management of security and defense affairs, General Besmellah Mohammadi and General Abdul Satar Merzkowal were appointed as Acting Defense Minister and Acting Interior Minister, respectively," said Mohammad Amiri, a deputy spokesman for the Presidential Palace.
A spokeswoman for the Independent Directorate of Local Governance (IDLG) said that the changes and reforms are based on the political and security situation in the provinces and that changes may also be made in the area of local governance to improve the situation in the provinces.
The IDLG has appointed new governors for Sar-e-Pul, Zabul, and Faryab provinces, and has said the changes will improve the political and security situation in those provinces.
"Any changes made within local governance, generally they are made for the continuation of the republic system, for the improvement of local governance and to provide better services for the people, considering the political, security, and social situation. Changes may come in the future as well," said a spokeswoman for the Independent Directorate of Local Governance, Narges Momand.
Some members of the Wolesi Jirga, the lower house of Parliament, said the changes and reforms in the security and defense institutions are late and ill-timed, as districts are falling to the Taliban, but there are still hopes that the situation will be managed and it will come under the government's control soon.
"The changes that came should have come a year ago. Until there are changes at the district and provincial levels, I would say to the President that the changes won't be effective," said MP Abdul Rauf Shpoon.
Four days ago, President Ashraf Ghani appointed Besmellah Khan Mohammadi as the acting minister of defense, Abdul Satar Mirzkowal as the acting minister of interior, and Hamidullah Tokhi, Abdul Haq Shafaq, and Enayatullah Kamal as governors of Zabul, Sar-e Pol, and Faryab provinces, respectively.
MPs say the changes in the security and defense institutions are late and ill-timed, considering the intensity of the fighting in the country.

This compact camera is available for $300 with features of 5X optical zoom and 12 mega pixel with high image quality and exciting sweep panorama mode. It is better than its predecessor Sony Cyber DSC WX1 which is moving rapidly in the market till today. It is getting difficult for experienced photographers since the features and controls cannot be made entirely by manual mode. It is an ideal camera for casual users.
The new camera is some what different from the earlier version of DSC WX1 in some angles. It offers better shooting modes and altered hardware controls than the previous one.
It is advanced in having the zoom controls with improved shutter button. This camera also has superior video recording button located on the back side and it has on its top portion stereo microphones.
Apart from the menu in scene mode, it offers various dial modes like 3D shooting modes, background defocus mode and superior auto mode. You can view the quality of each of its modes by pressing the thumbnail images. Superior auto mode can be considered as an alternative for twilight scene mode of the WX 1 model. You can take six shots very faster at various settings and then combine the shots to produce a single image of high dynamics. The output is fantastic but still they do not look real.
The background defocus setting mode offers you to take in depth close up and macro shots. The set up works well if you are nearer to the subject and it creates enough distance between the backdrop and foreground subject.
Of the entire in camera modes available, the panorama sweep mode is the most superior one. You can push the shutter button and place the camera either in horizontal position or vertical and you will get instant panoramic image. Due to its clever focusing it is now called as intelligent sweep panorama.
The WX 5 provides automated settings for shooting fast actions. The quick access feature on the top allows you to take ten pictures per second. The program auto mode allows you to regulate auto focus settings. It also comes with motion tracking setting which focus the moving objects.
The WX 5 is the only single lens camera which provides 3D shooting modes but with certain limitations and pre-requisites. By this special feature you can view pictures on Sony 3D TV by importing the outputs via MPO format file on the condition that your TV should have MPO supporting system. Landscape scenes are very impressive when compared with the shots with the subject. But for taking such impressive photos one has to turn the camera for 300 degrees for getting excellent shots.
The sweep setting in this camera is capable of producing illusionary effects in your images. This feature will not be used by many of us and it stands as just show off piece. The cyber shot WX 5 is the first camera coming with single lens but takes 3D photos impressively.
Adding a feather on the cap, this camera has better quality video than several high priced cameras in bright light background, and you have to look out for some other piece if you desire to take shots on low light situations.

Das Rocas-Atoll, portugiesisch Atol das Rocas, ist ein Atoll im Atlantischen Ozean und gehört zum brasilianischen Bundesstaat Rio Grande do Norte. Es liegt ungefähr 260 km nordöstlich von Natal und 150 km westlich des Fernando-de-Noronha-Archipels.

Das Atoll ist ein Naturschutzgebiet und seit dem Jahr 2001 ein von der UNESCO anerkanntes Weltnaturerbe und ein Naturdenkmal. In dem Naturschutzgebiet leben viele verschiedene Schildkröten, Haie, Delfine und Seevögel. Das Atoll selbst besteht zum größten Teil aus Korallen und roten Algen.

Das Atoll ist ellipsenförmig und umfasst 7,5 km². Die große Achse ist 3,7 km und die kleine Achse 2,5 km lang. Das Ringriff ist nahezu geschlossen. Im Norden besteht ein 200 m breiter Kanal, im Westen ein wesentlich schmalerer.

Die Landfläche der beiden Inseln des Atolls Ilha do Cemitério (Friedhofsinsel – Cemitério Island) im Südwesten und Ilha do Farol (Leuchtturminsel – engl. Farol Cay) im Nordwesten beträgt 0,36 km². Farol Cay ist fast doppelt so groß wie Cemetério Island. Der höchste Punkt ist eine 6 m hohe Sanddüne im Süden von Farol Cay. Die Inseln sind bewachsen mit Gras, Büschen und einigen Palmen. Es gibt Krabben, Spinnen, Sandflöhe, Käfer und große Schaben sowie zahlreiche Vogelarten.

Am Nordende von Farol Cay steht ein Leuchtturm der brasilianischen Küstenwache, der seit den 1960er Jahren in Betrieb ist. In dessen Nähe steht ein verfallener Leuchtturm von 1933.

Following a recent event I spoke at I was reminded of a presentation I gave in Brussels last year as one of the panellists representing SME's alongside Margot FRÖHLINGER, (Director Knowledge-Based Economy, Directorate General Internal Market & Services, EU Commission) at a Community Patent and European Patent Reform Roundtable.
'Freely have I received, freely I have given, and I want nothing in return' Martin Luther claimed in the 16th century. The landed property context of Luther's quote is long gone and in the present-day the knowledge economy intellectual property regime plays a similar role, albeit with very different attitudes.
The difference today though is it is a Global issue NOT just a national one; an issue dogged by quality variations across the world.
At the end of the last Century – well it's almost a decade ago now – There was a burgeoning IT service company that was desperate to break out of the constraints imposed by its provincial circumstances, of the beaten track in a Village with a population of about 5,000. Usual business issues, access to resources travel convenience, profile etc.
This company sought investment and was successful. Part of the Business Proposition requested by investors was the prospect of IP. As a service company value is intangible, IP is not, it provides the tangibility on a Balance sheet that investors like, so it seemed a reasonable concession to the company's value growth agenda.
The investment was received, the company moved into a major centre and growth was realised.
In due course the prospect of IP was revisited and to fulfil an obligation to investors IP was applied for. This was a software process, the details not particularly relevant to the tale, but what is, is the outcome of the IP application process this SME engaged.
It took some thousands of pounds and little to show but a dawning realisation that the cost and complexity of the process was disproportionate to the value of the IP to the company's Balance Sheet; and most soberly an ability to defend it in any litigation.
Disillusioned the MD at the next board meeting had the unenviable task of reporting that IP was not a viable proposition. Needless to say the reception was frosty but the realities of what was presented to the board could not be ignored. The cost benefit for the company did not exist under the current IP regimes.
Why did this SME come up against this uncomfortable reality? – Cost due to fragmentation across US, Japan, Europe and other jurisdictions, and the ultimate power of individual countries over patent validity decisions, furthermore results in legal uncertainty and unevenness in the quality of the patents that are enforced, and the final nail in the coffin, the cost effectiveness to defend them.
The hard lesson is that SME's are at the mercy of a costly and fragmented system that grants national property rights of dubious quality and uncertain solidity. It is tantamount to an unwarranted tax on innovation that is detrimental to entrepreneurs, consumers and most of all the economy.
Quality – The growth of patenting activity does not reflect an increase in innovation activity but rather deterioration in the quality of patents that results from strategic use of patenting, especially in the US.
In Europe, more than 60 percent of patent applications filed with the European Patent Organisation (EPO) are granted, of which it is generally estimated that less than ten percent are commercially successful.
· Reduce the spurious lockout that broad spectrum Patent applications (strategic commercial registrations), can have on innovation and in so doing reduce the litigation burden on organisations as challenges will be clearer and prospectively fewer.
Global – Convergence in global patent standards must occur before mutual recognition arrangements are put in place.
US and Japan have proposed bilateral agreements in order to speed up examination and reduce backlogs takes the form of so-called patent prosecution highways (PPHs).
I believe energies are best driven towards supporting closer GOBAL alignment than looking inward and forging another version.
Don't forget the fact that only 15 of the 35 members of the European Patent Convention have signed the London Agreement on translation requirements. Even in these countries, patents are still at least three times more expensive than in the US or Japan.
My thoughts do not envisage an end to the EPO, simply a realignment to contribute as a collective Global Patent Ecosystem.
Possibly in a unique position to set an example and use the unique timing championing Global Standards as other regimes creak under the strain.
… and most importantly champion the creation of an SME status and pricing policy.
My conclusion is that SMEs, the world over, are proven innovators with great creative capacity and the driving force behind many technological advances, and the most numerous in any business sector.
These companies are highly innovative and contribute to national economic growth, wealth generation, substantial job creation, investment and exports.
In spite of this, the potential of the IP system to enhance commercial competitiveness is still typically poorly understood.
My closing thought on the subject come from the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO).
Mr. Saadallah – Executive Director, WIPO Office of Strategic Use of Intellectual Property for Development.

Champagne sailing on day 3 in Rio
by World Sailing (as amended by SKUD18)
The cliché, 'champagne sailing' is often overused in the sport. In simple terms, it's used to refer to a picture perfect, sunny day of sailing with breeze not too strong, not too light.
Often seen written down in many sailing press releases, it can sometimes be hard to avoid using the term. Today's conditions in Rio de Janeiro have all the hallmarks of a champagne sailing kind of day so it's one we must use.
Having now completed 6 races, defending SKUD18 Paralympic champions, Australia's Daniel Fitzgibbon and Liesl Tesch, day by day eek out more of a lead on their rivals, as yet again they leave the Marina da Gloria at the end of a race day top of the leaderboard.
Fitzgibbon has previously summed up his partnership with Tesch saying that he was 'the still water to her rapids', and in true form he calmly and quietly described the day, "The key ingredient to being successful was just keeping it together, keeping your head on and just keeping on sailing. That's all we could do and just try and do as well as we could."
Three races and scoring a 1,2,1 has taken its toll on the Aussie, but it doesn't matter, there's a gold medal at stake, "The conditions were opposite from yesterday. A real test of endurance, crazy. But in sailing we get everything and that's why we love it." He continued, "I'm pretty tired after three races today and a long day yesterday. I'm keen to get home, recover and be back tomorrow."
With Fitzgibbon and Tesch top on six points, leading the chase behind the flying Aussies is now Great Britain's Alexandra Rickham and Niki Birrell who started the day well, but ran in to trouble with their boat, "Unfortunately for race three today, during start sequence we were fine. Gearing up ready. But our gib sheet fell off or snapped or something and we had to retire. It was unfortunate because we had gained some momentum today."
The momentum they gained was from a bullet and second place which did eventually help move them up the leaderboard as everyone else around them also fell foul in the final race of the day.
The Britons are in second with 14 points with Canada's John McRoberts and Jackie Gay just behind on 16 points after they scored a 3,4 and a discarded 12th. Current world champions Poland mirrored the Canadians scores with a 3,4,12, but due to an earlier round disqualification they have to carry the double digit score. They have 24 points in fourth.

System analysis for Canada through form, function and entities of the system and their form and function
Canada is a country, one of the most well-being countries in the world[1], in Top-5 of the happiest countries in the world[2] which is shaped as unique formation due to which it takes such a high place in the world rates. But can we say that this formation is a system? Or in other words is Canada a system? This is the question which should be answered through the prism of its form, function and entities of the system since the latter elements are required elements of a system.
Canada has a form. As a country it is a state and territorial organization which shapes up the form through layers beginning from political and economic ones and ending with individual level of the form. For example, politically Canada is «a constitutional monarchy»[3] and it superimposes on and contributes to the form.
Canada has a function. From the information above, Canada is one of the most successful countries in the world and that is why its function is to maintain and advance this level through other subfunctions. These maintenance and advancement are processes and the operand is organization and order of life or in other words its existence.
Canada has entities of the system and their form and function. One of these entities is already mentioned (1) political layer, consisting of state and municipal bodies, political parties and other relevant political institutions (forms) contributing to maintenance (process) of political system (operand). Another entity is (2) economic layer expressed through development (process) of economic wellbeing (operand). For example, it includes advancement of knowledge, information and digital economy which was actively noticed at forum Canada 3.0[4] and provided in National Digital Economy Strategy[5]. This also includes (3) social layer consisting different organizations, group of people, labour unions or even individuals (forms) which maintain (process) organization of life (operand).
Consequently, Canada is a system expressed through such a form as a country conducting a function to maintain and advance its existence, consisting of political, economic and social layers which have their own forms and functions.
