Jordan & Karl | Ridley Creek State Park | Media, PA Engagement Photographer
How Their Story Began
Jordan & Karl met through a mutual friend at the Merchant Marine Academy in Long Island, NY. Karl was on the swim team and they shared a mutual friend.
Their love story started at a pizzeria and they have been together for 5+ years now. They both kind of knew as they were going into their senior year of college that they wanted to spend forever together.
Karl proposed to Jordan during a hike. It was a very hot and sweaty day. Originally Karl was going to propose in the Smoky Mountains, but COVID ruined those plans.
Karl made plans to go to a winery after the hike. They got to the end called Annapolis Rock and it had a really nice view. Jordan wanted to take a selfie, but Karl said to wait because of people being around them. He set up the camera, hit record and then asked her to marry him. Even though Jordan knew that Karl had the ring, she was still caught off guard.
Jordan and Karl will be bringing in both of their families from New Jersey and Maryland and will be getting married at the central location of Lakeview Farms in Dover, PA on September 17, 2022. They are really looking forward to relaxing on their special day and just enjoying it together.
We had such a fun session together! We got lost, the weather was perfect for our long hike, and Jordan & Karl are just adorable together and have awesome personalities. We also loved Elbert, the handsome guide dog in training.
Congrats again, Jordan & Karl! We are so excited to be preserving one of the most incredible days of your lives. Thank you so much for trusting in us! ♥
Thank you to our awesome second shooter, Sam, for tagging along with us!

Freshman Mikayla Chapman carried Denver, a 3-month-old mixed breed puppy into her home. Every year, Chapman and her family foster about 50 puppies from Charlie's Angels Animal Rescue until they find a home, but this puppy was unique.
He had contracted a parvovirus, which attacks the immune system. After an intense treatment of medication prescribed by the vet, Denver pulled through. To Chapman, Denver's success story is unforgettable, making him her favorite foster puppy. Chapman's experience fostering has not only helped the puppies find homes, but it has helped her prepare for her future career in veterinary medicine.
For some, like senior Daniel Lewis, volunteering allows him to meet new people and explore some of his interests. He believes that in most cases volunteering his time is more helpful than donating money.
Volunteering has been found in many studies to improve social skills and even one's mental health. For example, helpguide.org states that volunteering with animals can help to improve mood and lower stress levels. Meeting new people used to be difficult for Chapman; however, volunteering has helped her to overcome this personal challenge.
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that in 2015, 26.4 percent of teenagers ages 16 to 19 volunteered at least once from Sept. 2014 to Sept. 2015. Junior Cammi Ochs spends much of her free time helping the community, even with the time constraint caused by her higher-level classes. She knows the impact that volunteers have on our local community.
Junior Wyatt Bentler admits that it can be hard for him to find time to volunteer as well. His involvement in clubs and extracurricular activities limits his free time, but he feels that planning ahead of time can help to alleviate the time crunch. In his opinion, planning ahead to volunteer is well worth the impact it can have on people.
Ochs not only volunteers on her own, but she encourages others to volunteer through her role as vice president of Key Club. Just like many student volunteers, she hopes her time spent volunteering will pay off during her college application process.
A 2011 DoSomething.org survey of admissions officers from 32 U.S. colleges found that community service is ranked number four in importance in the admissions process with GPA and test scores (SAT and ACT) ranked higher and reference letters and interviews ranked lower. Lewis shared his opinions on why colleges take volunteering and community service so seriously.
The positive effects of volunteering are indisputable. Those in need are not the only ones benefiting from the hard work of volunteers; the volunteers themselves benefit as well.

"BOWERY SCENE"
Signed and dated 'Reginald Marsh 45' bottom center right, oil on Masonite

The Bowery is a neighborhood located in a section of Lower Manhattan. Originally a group of Dutch farms, the area developed a rough reputation at the turn of the century, soon becoming a symbol of America's Great Depression. By the 1940's, when Reginald Marsh painted this scene, the neighborhood was New York City's 'Skid Row,' the turf of several street gangs, and the home of prostitutes, immigrants and other blue-collar workers. It is no surprise that Marsh chose the Bowery as his subject because of his link with the Ashchan School, which promoted a journalistic approach to depicting daily life in New York's poor neighborhoods. Marsh was particularly concerned with the exploitation of the millions of unemployed women in the nation, and enjoyed portraying them as independent figures.
Painted in 1945, 'Bowery Scene' depicts a solitary woman among a crowd of men, along what seems to be the Third Avenue El. This elevated railway ran above the Bowery from 1878 to 1955. The men, all dressed in black and cloaked in shadows, stare at the red-haired woman, who is at the center of the composition. As is often the case with Marsh, this scene depicts an attractive and confident woman. Dressed in an elegant red coat which subtly accentuates the curves of her body, she walks through the crowd with natural ease, a smile on her face and hands in her pockets. Carol Troyen, who authored Edward Hopper's biography (Edward Hopper being Marsh's close friend), said Marsh usually portrayed women, and especially women of the streets, "as goddesses, frequently in poses derived from classical statuary." This statement is supported by our heroine's elegant 'contrapposto' and the mythologically inspired nude studies on the reverse side of the Masonite. In comparison, the woman's admirers look pitiful. All seem tired, and lack energy and vibrancy. This contrast is Marsh's way to illustrate, and maybe temper, the highly misogynist and male-dominated sexual culture of New York in the 1940's. While men are seen as leering and lusty creatures, women are depicted as empowered figures who stand out in spite of their male counterparts.

Houston area couple celebrates 20th wedding anniversary, 2nd anniversary of kidney transplant
By Chelsea Edwards
A local couple is celebrating two anniversaries: their wedding and a life-saving transplant. And now they're sharing an important reminder. FOX 26's Chelsea Edwards shares more.
HOUSTON - A Houston couple walked down the aisle Sunday to celebrate both a 20th wedding anniversary and their two-year paired kidney donation.
SIGN UP FOR FOX 26 HOUSTON EMAIL ALERTS
10 couples made plans to exchange vows during the Heritage Society's 2022 Valentine's Express Wedding Extravaganza.
Ceremonies take place each year in the historic St. John Church in Sam Houston Park.
Although many couples share in the picturesque event, Kim and Sean Ballesteros take the cake as the perfect match for more than one reason.
What women really want for Valentine's Day
Valentine's Day is around the corner and the million-dollar question is: what do women really want? Psychotherapist Mary Jo Rapini shares how and what partners should prepare for the love holiday.
They met more than twenty years ago, working at a local Central Market store where she was managing gift baskets, and he was managing the wine department.
"He was in love with me by date two, that's what he said," says Kim.
A year later they married, and the next year, they had their son.
On Sunday, they renewed their vows where Kim used to volunteer with the Heritage Society, two decades down the line.
"When you're focusing on this person you love more than anything, of course, you're going to tear up a little bit," says Sean of the emotional vows he shared at the altar.
In 2019, he was diagnosed with stage four renal disease and needed a kidney donor. Kim was a match.
"We're just two random people who met, so it is kind of rare that I would be a match for him," she says.

Kim also matched a man whose daughter matched Sean but still needed his own donor.
"So I gave my kidney to him, and she gave her a kidney to Sean, so we were able to save another life in the process," she explains. Two years, and two days later, they added the paired donation to the festivities, calling it their "kidney-versary."
On top of those reasons to celebrate, it's also Kim's birthday.

After hearing the couple's story, Justice of the Peace Wanda Adams who volunteered to perform the ceremonies told Sean he's got lots of shopping in his future.
"Go ahead and start saving up the money now because there are many gifts that are going to be given," laughed Adams during the ceremony.
Friends who witnessed the first wedding were also in attendance for the renewal.
"I was very pregnant. It was my last outing," says Monique Kursar. "The doctor allowed me to go to their wedding and only their wedding!"
"They really do care for one another, and it's really spectacular to see," she added.
With this new occasion, the couple is hoping to inspire other living organ donors.
Sean will most likely need another transplant before the next twenty-year mark, but for now, the perfect match is heading to a quiet getaway with plans for a long, healthy, happily ever after.

Toothpaste no longer comes in simple choices of fluoride and fresh breath. Paste is not even the only option! You can choose gel forms and even some with ribbons of color and flavor. With so many varieties available, it may be difficult to know which features or combinations of ingredients are best for your mouth. Dr. Dale Scharine and Dr. Alissa Edwards and our team are here to help!
Since there is a wide variety of toothpastes and ingredients for preventing tartar and gingivitis, ask Dr. Dale Scharine and Dr. Alissa Edwards and our staff what the best choice is for your teeth. We can help you select the right combination of ingredients.
White teeth are desirable, and manufacturers are heavily marketing whitening toothpastes. Most brands do not contain bleaching ingredients; they use abrasives to polish stains away. Unfortunately, too much abrasive use can be damaging to your teeth. If you're interested in teeth whitening, our Appleton, WI team can recommend a number of safe and effective options.
Feel free to ask Dr. Dale Scharine and Dr. Alissa Edwards and our staff at Elite Smiles Dental about the best choice in toothpaste to meet your individual needs. Remember to look for the ADA approval seal on any toothpaste you are considering.

The Navy To Make Another Leadership Change After Deadly Incidents
Adm. Scott Swift is the most senior U.S. Navy official to step down after the USS John S. McCain collision back in August.
Article by Katherine Biek
The U.S. Navy will make another leadership change after a series of deadly incidents involving its ships in the Pacific this year.
On Monday, Adm. Scott Swift said he plans to retire as commander of the U.S. Pacific Fleet after he was passed over for higher command.
As commander of the "world's largest fleet command," Swift oversees 200 ships and submarines, about 1,200 aircraft and more than 130,000 sailors and civilians.
Swift is the most senior Navy official to step down after the USS John S. McCain collided with an oil and chemical tanker east of Singapore in August. Ten sailors on board the McCain died.
Seven other sailors died in June when the USS Fitzgerald crashed into a merchant ship.
Both of those ships are part of the Navy's 7th Fleet, which reports directly to Swift's Pacific Fleet.
Navy Lacked Maintenance And Training, According To 2015 Report
So far this year, four U.S. warships have been involved in accidents, two of which were fatal.
Swift relieved Vice Adm. Joseph Aucoin as the 7th Fleet's commander days after the McCain incident.
Then earlier in September, two more leaders operating within the 7th Fleet were dismissed: Rear Adm. Charles Williams, commander of Task Force 70, and Capt. Jeffrey Bennett, commander of Destroyer Squadron 15.
Williams oversaw the fleet's aircraft carriers, cruisers, frigates and destroyers; Bennett was in charge of the Navy's largest forward-deployed destroyer squadron.
Swift didn't mention a retirement date, and the Senate will have to confirm his replacement.

If you are looking for free debt management from government, you should draw your attention to NFCC.org and FCAA.org services. These parties act as debt counselors and represent the common interests of member agencies. They are so-called member-supported national associations. These services represent financial counseling companies that deal with consumer credit counseling, housing counseling, student loan counseling, bankruptcy counseling, debt management, and various financial education services.
Their goals lie in managing relations between creditors and consumers. They help to conduct a successful rehabilitation of debt-challenged families and individuals.
Furthermore, these services are reliable as government supports their activity and many Americans have already chosen their assistance.
When you look for debt free management personal program, applying for government assistance is reasonable. These two services are one of the most popular unions online but you can also find some local offers. Navigate around and you will definitely find some affordable offers in your neighborhood.

It is not a real portrait, but a 'tronie': a fantasy-head. Tronies picture a certain type of character – in this case, a girl in exotic clothing, with an oriental turban and an improbably large pearl in the ear.
'A fantasy-head.' With this bombshell of Dutch bathos, the soft rug of narrative is brutally withdrawn, along with all of Scarlett/Griet's milky reality. A whole tapestry of pregnant moments, socially transgressive frissons and, most worryingly of all, the very existence of Cillian Murphy as the blue-eyed local butcher's boy, goes up in a puff of celluloid-blue smoke. 'Griet' reverts to a faceless extra in art history; the Girl depicted stops even having a 'herself' to speak of – she's a fake, an impostor, merely a 'certain type of character'.
Dutch painting has a curious tradition of fakery. During the Second World War, the art dealer Hugo van Meegeren raised a scandal by flogging a clutch of masterpieces – Vermeers among them – to highbrow Nazis during the German occupation of his country. Promptly arrested and brought to trial after the war, van Meegeren threw his prosecutors an outlandish curve-ball by claiming that he had systematically forged each one of his blackmarket frames. To prove it, he painted a new 'Vermeer' while being scrutinised through the half-moon glasses of assembled art-experts, and finally escaped without charge.
David Bellos mentions this incident in his foreword to Portrait of a Man, the first complete novel written by Georges Perec, newly published in Bellos's own translation. The book is known under the title Le Condottière in French, after Antonello da Messina's renaissance masterpiece, which emblazons the dust jacket. It was discovered by Bellos during research for his magnificent 1993 biography of Perec, A Life in Words. Having been written in 1960, the original manuscript disappeared in a manner worthy of Perec's own fictional mischievousness, when two identical suitcases (the one containing scrap paper, the other stacked with important documents) were mixed up while the author was moving house. Long thought lost, a copy finally turned up in the hands of his friend Alain Guérin, who handed it to Bellos in 1983 – a year after the chain-smoking author's own death of lung cancer.
With this type of provenance, it's hard not to be reminded of a particular a short story included in Perec's collection Species of Spaces and other Pieces, in which an obscure volume called 'The Winter Journey' (also the name of the story) is discovered by the narrator as the secret sourcebook of all the great French symbolist poets. In Verlaine and Rimbaud, Mallarmé and Lautréamont, myriad opaque phrases are suddenly rendered legible as clear references to its author, Hugo Vernier. Yet, on the cusp of sensation, the Second World War brings about a hiatus in Degraël's scholarly work; the library containing the sole copy of 'The Winter Journey' is destroyed by bombing; the key is lost forever. The tale is a wonderful synecdoche of Perec's preoccupations – disaster, intricate mises en abymes, and a verve for literary tomfoolery (to my mind A Void is far from his greatest work, but has anybody else even attempted a full-length novel without a single 'e'?).
Is the rediscovery of Portrait of a Man quite as game-changing as a real-life 'Winter Journey' might have been? In as far as its protagonist is Gaspard Winckler, who appears in Perec's stunning Life A User's Manual as well as his memoir W or the Memory of Childhood, this new release is a tantalising prospect. Itself composed from the ruins of Gaspard, an even earlier work that really was lost, it dangles the keys to an unplundered alcove of Perec's extraordinary imagination.
Yet when we meet him – by way of the cataclysmic, agonised stream-of-consciousness sequence that makes up the book's first half – the job has ground to a dead halt. Gaspard has just murdered his paymaster Anatole Madera in a fit of impotent rage, and been put under house-arrest in his studio by one of Madera's henchmen. The tale that unfolds in a dizzying staccato of first, second and third person, is just how things got to such a sorry state, while this Bartleby-meets-Raskolnikov figure digs a tunnel out of his studio and toward some sort of freedom. Things are clarified slightly in part two, set a short time later, and which runs over the same events in a more readily comprehensible duologue form.
The connection with a Sartrean anxiety about originality and authenticity is not difficult to make, nor is the link with Perec's own A Man Asleep, the document (written entirely in the second person) of a depressive slump that followed his first attempt at another lost novel, The Wanderers, written between 1955 and 1956. In fact, the problem with Portrait of a Man is partly explained by this backward glance, for it was in response to The Wanderers that Perec's mentor Jean Duvignaud advised him that 'when you talk about a thing, you have to describe it so that the reader can see it or at least imagine what it looks like.' Perec's later work radiates an almost preternatural sense that he himself 'can see' the things that he describes – 1965's Things, the book that won him the Prix Renaudot and made his name, radiates with this, as does Life A User's Manual and the extraordinary short story 'A Gallery Portrait'.
By contrast, and despite its obsession with a painted subject, it's tough to 'see' what's going on in Portrait of a Man. If the book sounds chaotic and confused, that's because it is – regardless of the extent to which this is supposed to play out Gaspard's own psychological breakdown. The diptych structure doesn't really add anything, and doesn't hit the mark of the intricacies that fuelled his later work; the prismatic pyrotechnics of Raymond Queneau and Oulipo, the 'workshop for potential literature', are a long way off. Perhaps the problem, in fact, is that it's too close to the real deal – bad poetry springs from genuine feeling, as the dictum goes. Yet to judge by these terms is to set the bar outrageously high. Portrait of a Man might not be a masterpiece, but it's a provocative addition to Perec's oeuvre, a long lost thread in a dazzling fabric. Anyone who has been moved by Things, W, or Life A User's Manual – which is to say, surely, anyone who has read them at all – will gulp it down with relish.

Joseph Gurney (1744–1815) was an English shorthand-writer and evangelical activist.

Life
The son of Thomas Gurney, he was his assistant and successor as a shorthand-writer in law courts and parliament. Before that, he spent a period as a bookseller, and was in business with his sister Martha Gurney. Martha Gurney was a Baptist and abolitionist, active in the production of pamphlet literature. Gurney also associated with the radical William Fox, and was a friend of William Hawes.

Gurney was employed officially after 1790 to report civil cases in courts of law. In 1786 he attended as a reporter to some slave-trade inquiries in the House of Lords. Recognised as a leading figure in his field, Gurney once commented that, of all speakers, he had most difficulty in transcribing the words of Samuel Taylor Coleridge. The reason was that it was difficult to anticipate how sentences would come to an end.

At the Warren Hastings trial, Gurney acted as shorthand writer for the government; William Isaac Blanchard did so for the defence. The stenographic world was small, and Blanchard had previously been Gurney's assistant. Indeed, by the 1780s newspaper reporting was undermining the business model of commercial court reporters. In May 1789 the House of Commons called on Gurney to read, from his notes Edmund Burke's words accusing Sir Elijah Impey of murder; and a vote of censure on Burke was then passed. According to Thompson Cooper, writing in the Dictionary of National Biography, this incident was the first public acknowledgment of the verbal accuracy of shorthand.

In 1791 the House of Commons first used shorthand for reporting the proceedings of one of its committees on the Eau-Brink Drainage Bill. In the same year, Gurney took notes of six election petition committees. In 1802 an act was passed authorizing the regular use of shorthand in election committees; and in the following year, a select committee of the House of Commons having reported positively, it was generally applied to other committees.

Works
Gurney edited the ninth edition of his father Thomas Gurney's Brachygraphy in 1778. While Thomas Gurney had adopted the system of William Mason, his son as editor dropped mention of Mason's name.

Gurney was known for printed reports of major contemporary trials from his official shorthand notes. An early example was from 1770, of the libel case brought by George Onslow against John Horne Tooke. By 1773, with the trial of John Mostyn, he was publishing reports as books. There were around 40 of those, and Gurney employed clerks to transcribe for him. The reports included:

The trial (at large) of the Rev. Henry Bate, with the previous proceedings, upon an information exhibited against him by His Grace the Duke of Richmond, for a libel (1780)
The Trial of George Gordon, Esquire, commonly called Lord George Gordon (1781 or 1782)
The Whole Proceedings on the Trial of the Hon. Major Henry Fitzroy Stanhope: At a Court Martial Held at the Horse Guards, in the Month of June 1783.

Lawyers Hold Rally as Frustration with Legal Aid Ontario Grows
Legal Aid Ontario Lawyers' Organizing Campaign
TORONTO, Oct. 18, 2013 /CNW/ - Ontario's Legal Aid lawyers are staging a rally today at Legal Aid Ontario's Head Office on the day of their board meeting. The rally will take place at 1 pm at the agency's corporate offices at 40 Dundas St. West, Toronto.
Legal Aid lawyers are increasingly frustrated that their employer, Legal Aid Ontario (LAO), a government agency, is unwilling to even meet with them to discuss securing collective bargaining rights. The lawyers first requested a meeting with CEO Bob Ward almost six months ago.
"We believe Mr. Ward's inaction is discriminatory," said Jillian Rogin, a Legal Aid Lawyer. "More than two-thirds of Legal Aid lawyers are women, and we are the most racially diverse group of public sector lawyers in the province. All other provincial government lawyers, such as those working for the Ministry of the Attorney General and those employed as crown attorneys, enjoy the right to collective bargaining. They are primarily male."
Lawyers will be joined at the rally by representatives of the Ontario Nurses' Association, the Ontario Provincial Fire Fighters Association and other labour and community groups who will deliver a loud message to CEO Bob Ward that the lawyers do not stand alone in an effort to end discrimination at Legal Aid Ontario.
"I can't understand how the CEO of a government agency thinks it is acceptable to discriminate against women-dominant groups of employees by denying them the same rights that male-dominant groups already enjoy," said Nancy Hutchison, secretary-treasurer of the Ontario Federation of Labour (OFL) and the executive responsible for women's issues.
Over 80 percent of Legal Aid lawyers have voted in writing to enter into a collective bargaining agreement with LAO yet CEO Bob Ward continues to ignore their requests. He has also ignored Attorney General John Gerretsen, who recently expressed his support for Legal Aid lawyers securing bargaining rights.
The LAO Lawyers organizing campaign represents over 200 lawyers from across Ontario who are employed as staff lawyers or duty counsel at Legal Aid Ontario in the Family and Criminal Courts, the Refugee Law Office, and at the Clinic Resource office.

Winthrop Student Creates Hip Hop Foundation in Honor of Her Father
Karina Young
Upcoming Social Distancing Approved Events in York County
Made Here | Hart Mind Body Soul
Made Here | Healthy Living with Jess
Lover of Hip Hop, Alisha Sweatt, uses her personal experiences to make new connections within herself and with others.
Sweatt developed a strong, deep passion for Hip Hop when her father, DJ and producer, passed away in 2005 at a young age. To cope with his death, she made a connection with him by listening to Hip Hop.
"I just looked at Hip Hop to help me through it," she said. "So, that's where it really turned into a real passion."
To express herself and her passion for Hip Hop, Sweatt started a foundation called Hip Hop Makes Me Feel. Through her foundation, Sweatt hosts programs on various college campuses that focus on educating others about the culture of Hip Hop and what it stands for.
"My purpose for Hip Hop Makes Me Feel was to educate people about Hip Hop and to make sure I put Hip Hop in a positive light and that's still the purpose," the Mass Communication major at Winthrop University said. "I think people misrepresent Hip Hop, so I want people to know what Hip Hop is and what it stands for. So, they have a better understanding of it."
Sweatt, too, faces challenges while on her Hip Hop journey, but knowing she inspires others makes it all worthwhile.
"Alisha works hard, she wants to see everyone succeed!" Kayla Cook, Winthrop senior said. "She is one of the most motivated people I know here at Winthrop."
The 22-year-old said she doesn't know what the future of Hip Hop Makes Me Feel holds, but she does know she wants to remain authentic through all it will bring.
"I'm literally doing what I love to do," she said. "The money may come, and it may not...it may blow up and it may crash, but I just have to make sure that I stay authentic and keep the passion and that's all that matters."

On 11th May, Instagram unveiled it's rebranded identity, which includes it's brand colors, colorful gradient and the logo form, and we feel it's deceptively similar to our branding.
We at Love for Tea love graphic design and our visual narrative across all platforms has been designed, keeping the smooth harmony of colors and flavors in mind. This symbolises Rangsaa's tagline – 'Symphony of colorful tea'. Our design decisions are aligned to the unique tea experience that we offer through our teas. The colorful gradient depicts the transition of moods through the elevation of various senses. And we love experimenting with it.
Rangsaa is a Global Tea Movement and we developed our designs to connect with our target audience. We talk about experiential design, where color gradients support our tea blend's symbol/motif in white. Our brand language is influenced by minimalistic and contemporary style.
We got our branding done by a leading graphic designer in 2012 and we hold the trademark for our identity. We don't want our users to get confused or be mislead. A logo is a unique signature and intellectual property of a brand and it's use without prior consent can invite trouble. Companies need to be very careful when getting their branding designed. Branding includes the colors, logos, typefaces, icons etc of the brand. Everything that a user would relate to and develop a connect.
Companies should make sure that they accidentally don't infringe upon an existing registered logo design which can invite unnecessary confusion.
If you think that Instagram's new branding and identity is deceptively similar to ours, please show your support and participate in the poll below.
Thank you, Team Love for Tea.

Discussion in '9/11' started by benthamitemetric, Mar 30, 2017.
The fire chief speaks of spalling concrete.
Obviously, these fire professionals did not think that "black smoke" means "cold fire - no danger of collapse".
i.e. a typical hydrocarbon fire.
The pillars are likely just reinforced concrete, spalling was probably the major factor.
It does not appear as if any columns collapsed though.
Major spalling leading to exposed steel rebar. Inevitable failure in such a situation.
Shows the steel in the spools "melting" (weakening from the heat).
Great photos, Mick. Thanks. At least for me, it's a solid reminder at how ill-adapted the human mind is to imagining how complex fire scenarios can unfold. I wouldn't have supposed by looking at them that those spools could have resulted in such a large and intense fire. My first thought when looking at the fire was that there must have been some sort of tanker accident or some accident involving something like stored gasoline or kerosene. Easy to forget that there can be just as much (if not more) energy in more mundane, non-volatile items.
Perhaps you should edit your first post.
Agreed. My first post is incorrect as I had assumed the girders than ran lengthwise below the highway sections were steel encased in concrete, but it appears they are more likely steel reinforced concrete as you note. I can't directly edit the first post any longer, but I would change "steel framed" to simply be "substantial".
I've edited it for you.
Hey everyone. First post. Will post over in the intro later. This is The first thread I knew something about with reasonable certainty.
The concrete girders are likely pre-stressed concrete, with tensioned cables inside. Once the heat starts to spall the concrete or the cables get hot enough to loose strength, the girders will fail. Each cable had upwards of 25,000 pounds of tension on it, depending on it's diameter.

Some Assembly Required 8 comments
Christopher Hunt as Gordon in the ATP playRites premier production of the play in 1994.
I wrote Some Assembly Required in my home town of Regina, Saskatchewan back in 1993. Thanks to a serendipitous meeting with Bob White who was then at Alberta Theatre Projects in Calgary, the play was developed at ATP, first as a Platform Play reading in 1993 and then as a playRites play in 1994. It was first published by Coteau Books in Regina and in 1995 was a finalist for the Governor General's Award in Drama. ATP remounted it in 1996 as part of their 25th Anniversary Season. In 2000 it was translated into French as Noel de Force and produced by Compagnie Jean Duceppe in Montreal.
Up until 2013, it was produced at least once a year by some theatre, somewhere. All in all, this would add up to around a hundred productions or so, quite honestly I lost track long ago. I suppose you can put it down to the populist nature of my writing, but these productions have been more in the domain of Little Theatres and university drama departments across Canada and some in the US, While it's had numerous productions in smaller centres in Ontario (if, for example, Ottawa can be said to be a smaller centre) it's never been produced in Toronto.
At its core, it's a simple but quirky story of an extremely dysfunctional family trying to put together some kind of Christmas for themselves. What I have heard again and again both from cast and crew and audience members is "How could you possibly know what my family is like?"
I guess the thing we learned from producing the play is that at some level, all families are dysfunctional, which can be denied year round, but harder not to come to grips with at Christmas time.
Despite its success as a book, Coteau never did a reprint, but thankfully Broadview Press published it in 2002 (cover pictured above) and it can be ordered through them at broadviewpress.com.

I have an idea to stage it other than the standard box set construction
Who do i contact for performance royalties info
I loved the play as I played Dad a few years ago at Surrey Little Theatre. The audiences loved it
Awesome! Glad you want to do my play. I hold the rights and don't have an agent so we can do it directly. Just email me and we can go from there. eugenius@telusplanet.net.
Talk to you soon.
How do I get a copy of this script?

L'Austro-Daimler Sascha est une automobile de course du fabricant autrichien Austro-Daimler conçue par Ferdinand Porsche et fabriqué en trois exemplaires en 1922.

Historique
Au début des années 1920, Ferdinand Porsche créa cette voiture de course « Sascha » doté d'un moteur d', commandée et financée par le Comte Alexander « Sascha » Kolowrat, un riche producteur de films autrichien, et construit chez Austro-Daimler.

Trois de ces petites voitures sont engagées à la Targa Florio, en . Ferdinand Porsche tenta de convaincre le conseil d'administration d'Austro-Daimler de fabriquer la petite Sascha en série mais en vain ; il claque la porte et part en Allemagne en 1923 pour travailler chez Daimler Motoren Gesellschaft avec Paul Daimler à Stuttgart.

Le pilote allemand Gregor « Fritz » Kuhn se tuera à son volant à Monza aux essais du Grand Prix automobile d'Italie 1922.

How Do I Get Rid of Potato Bugs in My House?
Keep piles of mulch and compost at least 10 yards away from the exterior of your home, as they are the type of damp, warm place that attracts potato bugs. Move piles of wood, cinder blocks, extra bricks and other debris away as well, as moisture tends to collect between those objects and the soil beneath, luring potato bugs.
Look at the downspouts on your guttering to make sure they do not leak. Add extra sections to the end that carry water farther away from your house, particularly if water is pooling at the bottom of the downspouts, as potato bugs love that moisture. Add splash blocks at the end of your downspouts as well to keep water from pooling.
Check your outdoor spigots and any plumbing leading into crawlspaces to make sure that there are no leaks. Place a dehumidifier and/or a sump pump in your crawlspace if moisture tends to gather there.
Check the outside foundation wall for any niches or cracks, and seal them. Add thresholds or door sweeps on all entry doors, and caulk the outside bottom edges and sides of thresholds at those doors.

New teacher's guide on 'comfort women' to be distributed across California schools
Date: January 21, 2019Author: justiceforcomfortwomen 0 Comments
"Women's Column of Strength," a bronze statue by artist Steven Whyte, at St. Mary's Square in San Francisco, California, on Nov. 1, 2017. Justin Sullivan / Getty Images file
Two California non-profits are planning to distribute across school districts in California a teacher's resource guide about "comfort women," the mostly Korean women who were forced into Japanese military-run brothels during World War II.
The guide was commissioned by the Korean American Forum of California (KAFC) and the Comfort Women Justice Coalition (CWJC), which spearheaded the creation and installation of a comfort women memorial in San Francisco in 2017, as part of their efforts to educate the world about this chapter of World War II history in Asia.
"We need to do that in order to make sure that this kind of history will never be repeated again," Lilian Sing, a retired San Francisco judge and co-chair of the CWJC, said. "And hopefully the historical atrocities like ours, like comfort women, as well as American slavery, the Armenian Genocide and the Holocaust, will never happen again."
During World War II, an estimated 200,000 women from countries including Korea, the Philippines, China, and Indonesia were forced into sexual slavery and "served" between five to 60 soldiers per day, according to research referenced by professors from Vassar College and Shanghai Normal University.
The guide contains primary documents about Japan's comfort women system, information about comfort women memorials in the United States, brief lesson plans with discussion questions and group exercises, comfort women testimonies, and the text of a congressional resolution asking the Japanese government to acknowledge, apologize for, and accept responsibility for its comfort women system.
The debate around discussion of comfort women has been a controversial issue. Advocates of discussion say that the Japanese government has long denied justice to comfort women, while opponents say there is no evidence supporting the claim that women were forced into sex slavery and that Japan has already apologized for its actions.
Despite the controversy, California's State Board of Education in 2016 approved a history-social science framework for California Public Schools that includes comfort women in the 10th grade world history curriculum. The year before, the San Francisco Board of Education approved a resolution to teach staff and students about human trafficking, including the history of comfort women.
After California approved the new framework, the KAFC and CWJC commissioned lesson plans for teachers to use in their classes and printed 1,000 hard copies of the material, according to Phyllis Kim, executive director of KAFC. The lesson plans, written by three scholars and reviewed by two veteran educators, is also available on a website dedicated to comfort women education that KAFC launched in September.
Kim said that the KAFC and CWJC plan to pitch the book to every school district in California, but will also provide any educator regardless of geographic location with materials as long as they're able to to teach in English. She added that she's had requests for material from as far as Germany.
Last month, the KAFC and CWJC provided copies to at least 20 Southern California teachers who attended a comfort women workshop for high school history teachers, Kim said.
One school district that will take the material into consideration is the Glendale Unified School District, which is slated to review it in February to see if it meets the requirements of the new history-social science framework. The district will begin the process of adopting new instructional materials for social science in two years, which will include information on comfort women, Kristine Nam, communications director at the Glendale Unified School District, said in an email.

I am designing a single phase power measurement circuit using the ADE7763 for interfacing to a controller circuit. I need to achieve 3750V reinforced insulation between ADE7763 power measurement circuit and ucontroller. Rather than achieving insulation on the digital side of the ADE7763, I was wondering if it is feasible to achieve it on the analog side. For current measurement, this can be achieved using a suitably rated current transformer. However, for the voltage measurement, I would need to use a pair of say 490k resistors from each of the Phase and Neutral lines (refer circuit sketch). Since the voltage measuring input of the ADE7763 is now subject to common mode voltage between ground and neutral, I am wondering what the common mode rejection performance of the ADE7763 input stage is, however no such information is provided in the ADE7763 datasheet? Does this mean that I should not be making voltage measurements this way? Any advice on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Even if you decide to use just the resistor divider( as you have it in the schematic) without any isolation, it would still work. Just make sure that the common-mode voltage isn't large enough. We do not have a specification for it, but in reality, if it is less than 75mV for ADE7763, there should be no problem.
If you need to isolate between the analog ground and your digital ground, a voltage divider is NEVER enough. If you want to isolate in the analog side you could use isolation amplifiers, but my experience is that it is way easier to isolate on the digital parte, using an SPI isolator.
if you want to realize an isolated voltage measurement system you need isolation block between the metering circuit and microcontroller (a voltage divider is not sufficient). If you don't want to consider digital isolation, please have a look at ADE7912/3 or ADE7932/3.

This week's post is all about the perfect breakfast with my low carb high fat (LCHF) granola.
As you know, with my #BreakfastRevolution it is all about fuelling your fat burn with the right food at the right time. Remember that you wake in a fat burning state and you want to keep this going. The best way to keep your fat burn going is to fuel up with a fat based breakfast. This is where my Low Carb High Fat (LCHF) Granola recipe comes in. It is one of those tasty little gems you can make up and store so that you have a reliable breakfast option for the days when there is no time to cook up a full english (minus the toast) or even an omelette.
Your traditional granola is packed with oats and grains that will throw you out of fat burning, so here is my recipe for the best fat burning granola. Feel free to tweak and experiment with your own flavours and let me know what you come up with.
2) On the hob, gently heat the coconut oil and dates in a sauce pan until the dates soften (3-5min).
3) In the mean time, roughly break your nuts, placed inside a tea towel, roll or bash with a rolling pin. Alternatively, pulse just a few times in a mini food processor.
4) Use a stick blender to blend your coconut oil and date mixture to form a sticky paste. Add just a little water if the mixture is too thick, it needs to be thick enough to stick to your dry ingredients. Add your coconut chips, nuts and your seed mix and cinnamon, combining well.
5) Transfer your mixture to a heavy roasting dish, I love my Le Creuset, and place in the centre of the oven.
6) Switch to Fan Oven and bake at 160ºC for around 10 minutes.
7) Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
Enjoy on its own or serve with full fat organic Greek yogurt.
Keep in an airtight container in a cool dry place where your granola will keep for a week, but I doubt it will last that long!
This sounds great – going to give it a try, how many servings does this recipe make?
Hi Hannah, thank you so much for your comment. I use around two table spoons per serving, give or take, depending on my appetite. I'll usually get six or eight breakfasts from this recipe. Fewer if I have the granola as a snack too.
I hope you thoroughly enjoy it.

Having a septic tank on your property may be a convenient way to save money that you would otherwise spend connecting your home to a municipal sewer system, but you do need to know when to have the tank pumped. Here are a few signs that will tell you when that time has come.
On average, a septic tank should be pumped every three to five years, depending on the size of your household and how much water is used. Some tanks that are inspected and maintained frequently enough can go longer between pumps, but you should at least think about having your tank pumped if you haven't done so in the last three years.
There can be a few reasons why a sink would drain slowly, but a full septic tank is definitely one of them. If you suddenly notice that water is going down your drains more slowly than usual, the culprit might lie with your septic tank, especially if it's been a few years since you've last had your tank pumped.
It should come as no surprise to you that the contents of a septic tank do not smell great. Normally, these odors are confined to the tank, but that won't be the case if the tank itself is overflowing. If you notice a bad smell on your property where your septic tank is buried, it's probably full to the point of overflowing and should be emptied as soon as possible.
You might notice pools of standing water on your property if your septic tank is too full. Granted, this could also be caused by heavy rains, but if you have a particularly wet lawn when the weather has been fairly dry, the problem might lie with your septic tank.
If you own a septic tank, it is your responsibility to have it pumped when necessary. You can find a company near you to handle this job simpy by googling "septic services Leesburg FL" or wherever your home may be located. It is the most important bit of maintenance you will perform on your septic system, so don't hesitate to call a septic company near you if you think your septic tank is too full.

Coach Lindland's Weekly Report: No Time To Rest
By Timothy Hands
Photo: Living MMA
Five Point Move is proud to host USA Greco-Roman National Team head coach Matt Lindland each week for Coach Lindland's Report. Here is where you will find detailed perspectives from Coach Lindland regarding results, training, upcoming events, and other Greco-related news that isn't available anywhere else. ALSO — if you would like to donate directly to the US Greco-Roman program, just click here. Your support is appreciated!
The United States program had two goals entering its multi-week stay in Europe last month — get some great training in, and also, get some guys ranked higher in the world. Both boxes have since been checked. National Team head coach Matt Lindland speaks to the medal-winning performances of G'Angelo Hancock (97 kg, Sunkist, world no. 3) and Xavier Johnson (63 kg, Marines, world no. 14) from the pair of "Ranking Series" tournaments, and touches on two other athletes who had interesting showings, Kamal Bey (77 kg, Sunkist, world no. 7) and RaVaughn Perkins (72 kg, NYAC). That Hungarian training camp everyone was talking about is covered as well, but the conversation closes up with Denmark. Lindland, who was only back home for a brief period before returning overseas this week, previews the 2019 Thor Masters and the two young athletes who are going along for the ride.
5PM: Right out of the gate in Zagreb, the US had two guys make the podium, Johnson and Hancock. That's an encouraging start to a tour that was centered around two big events.
Coach Matt Lindland: Yeah, I think it was a great way to start the trip, to get two guys up on the podium in Zagreb. We also had some other guys who wrestled pretty darn tough. I just think our team is improving consistently. Slow and steady, for sure, but we're definitely moving in the right direction.
But yeah, I was very happy two of our guys got on the podium, and I was happy with the way all of our athletes competed.
5PM: In relative terms, Xavier is still green, he's still raw. But he has also placed at this event twice in a row and is a National Team member. When you get a chance to be around him in person and watch how he works, what do you see out of him that impresses you?
ML: He's a true warrior. That kid has a lot of fight, he has a lot of athletic ability, and he's going to push the pace. He is going to go out and try to score early, and score big points. Xavier is not timid. He is a very courageous fighter. That's what is really fun to watch. Xavier is not worried about what his opponent could do or might do, he's worried about what he is going to do to his opponent. He is a very aggressive, exciting fighter, and I'm loving that lift he is putting together.
5PM: A lot of this obviously circles back to Hancock. It's not just that he got himself ranked third in the world, it's more the back-to-back. In Zagreb, he had one weird loss and then beat Adam Varga. Hungary, maybe it was a byproduct of having some time in-country, but there was even more of a competitive edge. There's a lot to be said for two consecutive strong performances, one from which a gold was earned. Do you see his surge here as a statement?
ML: I think it's critical that we put our performances together back to back, that we're consistently performing up to our level. We can't be up one tournament, down one tournament. That's what's going to get us to the top, is the fact that we're consistent in everything we do, with the way we compete. I mean, he really has done a good job dialing in when he warms up, what he does for his cool-down, his nutrition between matches and rounds.
I think a lot of it is that he just started wrestling (Greco) when he was 17. He jumped on the international scene at a high level and he's trying to figure this stuff out, What's best for me? What works? Sometimes when you're young, you think you always know what's best. But once you mature a little and start listening to other people and trying some things out, you feel differently and make those adjustments.
At the end of the day, it's him, and they are his adjustments. Even when you're taking someone's recommendations and advice, you have to make sure you own that. Whatever that situation is, how you do your warm-up or what you eat the night before. It doesn't matter what someone tells you, there are some things you have to learn on your own, and that's the tough part. I think he is really starting to figure out what's best for him.
Unfortunately, he keeps coming down with a virus when he's traveling. We've got to get him some Vitamin C or something. The last couple of trips he has gone on, it must be the plane ride with all the germs flying around in that capsul we're in, I don't know. Vitamin C or something, that's going to be the next thing I recommend he does on a consistent basis.
But everything else, he's been consistent with the way he trains. He's still over in Europe and is going to meet me in Denmark. After the tournament in Gyor, he traveled to Germany and spent a couple weeks over there with their National Team camps. He's over in Sweden right now and he'll meet me in Denmark. I'm really looking forward to this tournament (Thor Masters), because there are incredible competitors at 97 kilos.

5PM: Everyone saw what happened with Kamal in Croatia, and there were misguided people who wanted to chime in. But this is now three big international tournaments in a row where he is not being allowed to wrestle, and in Croatia he was dealing with a notoriously dirty competitor who kept head-butting and shouldering along with abandoning any desire to try and score. I know, I get it, can't lose composure and all that. But isn't this just a case of a good wrestler whose frustration rightfully boiled over? I'm not sure anyone can blame him for that, but how did you see it?
Coach Matt Lindland: Well, what I saw was like you said, which was a frustrated Kamal. But I mean, when you step on the mat, you're stepping into something that is, really, beyond your control. You're trying to control chaos in the moment. You've got to understand that if these athletes were to try and actually wrestle Kamal, he's going to win. So, the best way to beat Kamal is to not wrestle him; to tie him up, to frustrate him, and to take him out of his game.
(Rafaele) Yunusov definitely used a lot of dirty tactics. He was shoulder-checking him, got called for twisting his arm, he was headbutting him over and over. I've watched that match a few times, it's going to be on the next National Team Leadership and Character Development show, there are clips on it and I talk about that match. But as a country, as a team, and as an individual in Kamal, we have to figure out to be that guy who is frustrating our opponents. Taking a guy out of his mental game is critical. That's how you beat guys who are better than you — you take them out of their game so they stop thinking about what their objective is, which is to score points. You get them frustrated and get them to start making mistakes.
Throughout the whole match, it was, Oh, he's twisting my fingers, looking at the corner; Oh, he's headbutting me, looking at the referee. It's like, You know those things are going to happen entering the match, so you just have to deal with what reality is. You have to find a way to overcome those things and they can't bother you. They can't even enter your consciousness that this is what the guy is going to do. And, you should probably be the guy who is twisting his fingers and headbutting him, but within the rules. Because, he only gave up two and a caution throughout that match, and it was a very dirty match.
There's a lot to be learned from that, and I think Kamal learned a valuable lesson. He was facing a big sanction from the international federation, United World Wrestling. He was facing a big sanction. But I think the fact that he apologized for his actions, he recognized that he was out of line, and asked for leniency, we wound up only getting a one-month suspension for that match. But if it happens again, I don't think we're going to get that lucky, nor will UWW be that lenient.
We have to learn to overcome this stuff because we can win. Kamal is clearly one of the best guys in the world, he's ranked #7. If he can figure out how to deal with those types of situations, there is no doubt in my mind he can be the best in the world, and possibly, the best America has ever seen. But — he has to learn how to fight through those positions and get to his ties, no matter what the other guys are doing to him. He can't let anything phase him.
5PM: RaVaughn Perkins didn't start out hot in Zagreb, but he turned it on in Hungary, beating out a World bronze before giving Kim Hyeon-Woo one helluva tough match. I know that he's not staying at 77 this year, but that appears to have boosted RaVaughn's confidence for the future.
ML: Specifically in Hungary, I was very pleased with how he wrestled. He had a hurt hand that was really bothering him. I think he's back in town and getting some imaging done this week to figure out what kind of treatment he's got to get down. RaVaughn has overcome a lot of obstacles, he's dealt with a lot of injuries and now he's healthy, for the most part. He tore something in his hand and was still able to wrestle and fight through that.
His first match (in Hungary) was great. He and Pat (Smith) have split here just recently. It was a nice win that put him in the quarterfinals against Kim, one of the best in the world, and RaVaughn was right there with him. And, RaVaughn is walking around at 77 kilos, it's not even his weight, so it was great.
But focusing on the Olympic weight classes, it was important that we took him there so he could see what he's capable of doing at 77 kilos. RaVaughn is a very capable athlete. In 2020, when all of these guys get together at 77, it's going to be nasty to see who comes out of that tournament. I know whoever it is will be capable of winning a medal at the (Olympic) Games. But whoever it is that represents us this year has to get that weight qualified at the Worlds. Get it done early. I know Kamal can win a Pan Am title this year. I know we can get that weight qualified, and it's one of the toughest weight classes in the world. There is just not an easy match at 77. Ever. Even at these two ranking tournaments, it was ridiculous how tough that weight was. Unbelievable. It's going to get even nastier during the Olympic Year.
5PM: That's actually the next question, which is that you have now been to two ranking tournaments in a row. Is there anything different about them compared to other events that you have personally noticed, just right off the top of your head?
ML: You obviously notice the depth at these tournaments. You see all the guys who showed up. I believe there were eight medalists from 2018 at both tournaments. We had Olympic Champions, World Champions, at both of these tournaments. It's getting tougher to win at the world level, and this is allowing us to raise our level. We're seeing where we match up against the best competition in the world.
I think that's the biggest difference with these ranking events. You put your budget together, buy plane tickets, you go to a tournament, and it's not that deep. Last year, we sent Kamal to the Granma Cup and it wasn't deep. We'll send guys to tournaments, plan and prepare to send them to Europe, and we're not sure who is going to be there. But we're guaranteed that when we go to these ranking events, there is going to be some very stiff competition. When we're able to measure ourselves against the best guys in the world we can see where that gap is and make those adjustments. We can fix things, just like our guys were doing in Germany the past two weeks.
I'm very pleased with the amount of effort these guys have been putting in. I am very happy with the club support we're getting. The two-week camp in Germany certainly wasn't in our National Team budget but Sunkist and NYAC stepped up to send our guys over there and take care of their meals and boarding. Our communication is getting better, we had that leadership summit in November, and we're getting people on the same page and focusing on getting America better at Greco-Roman wrestling.
5PM: It is a very big group going to Denmark and it is one that includes two athletes who are high school-age, Cohlton Schultz and Dominic Damon. Granted Schultz is a World champ with two medals and Damon was a Cadet World Team member, still, it has been a while since we've had high schoolers check in for a legit overseas Senior tournament. What do you think that says about how far the program has come the past few years?
Coach Matt Lindland: I think it is philosophically what I've been trying to do since I came on board, and that is to continue to try and get our athletes to level up. We're extremely excited to have Dominic a part of our Greco program and going to school up at Northern Michigan. I think that's a big-time blue chip recruit. Those are the types of athletes we're looking at up at Northern Michigan. We've got some good guys, we've got some quality guys, and we want to try to get the best guys in the country to forgo this folkstyle stuff and embrace what we're trying to do internationally.
I think this is a great opportunity for these young guys to just gauge themselves, see where they're at against the best in the world, see where the gap is, and then see what it's going to take to close that gap. And they are going to get an opportunity to jump in on closing that gap at the camp.
And hopefully, who knows? I can see Cohlton Schultz doing very good (at Thor Masters). I can see this being a challenging tournament for Dominic, but again, who knows? They could both do well or they could both go out in two (matches). The other nice thing is that it's the Nordic format which guarantees two matches. But they're also there to get the camp in, get the experience. There are a lot of guys on this roster who maybe you haven't seen a whole lot from but they are willing to get themselves overseas. Their careers are so important to them that they are going to invest in themselves; or their clubs see a lot of promise in them and they're doing well and will fund them. Either way, we're just looking to get these guys overseas, especially some of our younger, more inexperienced guys.
Yeah, there are some high-level National Team guys going, too. Patrick Martinez didn't have the best tournament in his ranking series events. I know he's motivated and excited. He has been training over in Germany and I am looking forward to seeing the improvements and adjustments he has made over the past several weeks. And I am certainly looking forward to see the 97-kilo weight class. That is one stacked bracket. It really says a lot about Tracy Hancock. He's putting himself out there and is not afraid to compete against the best guys in the world. He is not trying to protect anything. He is doing what guys who aren't World champs should be doing: he's chasing down those best guys in the world so he can figure out how to beat them.
That's where Tracy is, and that's where some of our younger athletes are, as well. We've got some more experienced athletes and some who we haven't seen a lot of. I am just looking forward to working with all of them at the tournament and throughout the camp. I think we've got a great crew going over.

Got a catch-cry thrown in your face yet?
Don't die with your music in you.
Ok, sure. Is that because I am filled with 2000 unplayed hits from 1976 to 2017 that have not been amped up? You've heard it before.
People telling other people how to live their lives is not always great. It's kind of hierarchal and patronizing. It's kind of like sucking eggs. It's a little bit of I'm better than you, like Tina Turner in a Bald Man's Support Group. "I've worked out how to have a perfect life, I shall assume yours is worse than mine, so I shall tell you how to live it and you too can be like me." Heard that old song? Enter Fade to Black Riff and Sinatra's My Way- LOUD. Unless you are of course a self-help junkie.
Enter the commercial guru. I have news: you need to pay for self-help like a fish needs a bicycle. Good luck with that. It can cost you even more. Unless it's a super good psychologist, those humans are worth their weight in Peppermint Crisps.
What if that little peek turned everything you ever knew on its head and inside out, leaving you with so many answers to questions and so many questions to answer?
In the Western world, we are so hypnotized by the social rigmarole of expectation and reward that we sink into the achievement of it like quicksand. By doing this and not paying attention, you can slip.
If you are happy to live that quiet, calm and uneventful life, not noticing, then good for you. The world needs peace, tranquility and comfort. More of it probably. Comfort is the root of all yearnings. Since dwelling in caves, we have sought the soft bed and warm soup, cold water on a hot day, the soothing song of a mother's love. Comfort is a psychological carrot dangling in front of our eyes. There is nothing wrong with it, so long as the chase for it doesn't have us blindfolded.
Many of us have a calling. Have you felt it? It sits deep down within us, it's a path we are called to walk. Who calls it? Maybe that is your journey to discover. That's not up to anyone to define for you. But it's there, an intrinsic calling to go your own way. It might be all leading to the day you are at University as a 37-year-old, and you save a young man from being hit by a bus because in 10 years time he comes up with an algorithm saving lives in a hospital. It might be to quietly inspire others to be brave enough to grab onto love or something new. Or you might be a movie director in the wings, burgeoning to changing the world with a documentary up your sleeve. You could be a carpenter, a sheep herder or a mother of 4 and a wife to none. Who knows? You do. Deep down.
The problem lies in the lack of attention we pay to that whisper within. Filling one's life with have-to's that are mere echoes of our social environment's expectations is as hypnotic and fulfilling as a hearty Italian lasagne. The essence of self-virtuosity will become a drug. Except for that niggle. It says "there's more." You ignore it at your own peril. Sometimes you might even project it onto others as a displaced issue. Because in that virtuous hypnotic everyday ordinary there are rules. Step up, don't step up too high. Too much, but don't do too much. Find a girl, settle down, if you want you can marry… you get the drift.
The world will tell you not to listen. It will beg you to be a part of its groove. He needs to get a job; he needs to do this, she needs to do that. She did what? Who told you that? Who says so? Find your rhythm and be accountable to it. If you want to live on a pittance and never work a day in your life other than to volunteer feeding the homeless while you live in a caravan on an abandoned building site? Knock yourself out. If you want to go back to university and become a doctor and adopt 150 labradors? Go for it. Or perhaps you want to have a career writing what you love, traveling and playing chess with your kids, baking cakes and selling tyres. Whatever it is, don't waste that precious time you have here pretending the inner calling isn't there, hiding from the whispers.
Dance in the quiet as much as you can until you can hear the formation of something. Spending time in solitude can do it. Walking in nature a LOT, or on the beach will do it too. Meditation and chanting are known to assist. Yoga and Tai Chi are rippers. Prayer is the big one. Many different amplifiers will help you hear the whisper. It doesn't cost you a fortune; you don't necessarily have to go to India and live with a guru for 28 nights (mind you I have heard it can be quite effective too).
A program on a cruise ship that cost more than a month's wages with someone yelling at you using NLP and ABC won't really do all that much in the long term. You have been provided with everything you already need to hear your own whispered tune. It won't necessarily be an epiphany, it might be the tiniest step, the microscopic pinch of an idea but it will lead to a mighty treasure hunt filled with rewards that lift you up out of the mire and into the truth of everything you are here to do. Pay attention, write it down, be accountable and tap your foot. Watch what happens when it turns into a deafening orchestra.
A whole heap of space matter, minerals, and infinite energy went into creating your existence, so please use it wisely. Take it from someone who's clock is ticking as loud as the rhythm, it will be worth every bit.
PS-, there are some lifeboats behind that palm tree.


Premier Inn is a modern 136 bedroom hotel arranged over 8 floors. The building incorporates bar/restaurant facility and is adjacent to the forthcoming Whitehall Riverside Development.
Located half a mile from Leeds train station and in the heart of the city centre's West End, Premier Inn sits within one of the most desired office locations in Leeds.
The build was completed on time and on budget of £10m Handover to Premier Inn triggered the new 25 year lease (with the Whitbread guarantee).
