Saw the therapist Monday and told her I wasn't coming back. I don't like her much anyway. She was more interested in what she did last weekend and what she was going to do next weekend than in what was going on with my hand! I have ALL the range of motion back and the wrist is healed. I don't have all the strength back yet but an hour 3 times a week isn't going to get it back any faster. Now it's all on me to do that. I can crochet again; in fact, a did a baby afghan for Savannah (Erin's baby) over the week end. 3 skeins of yarn. Yea for me. I can finally sweep the kitchen floor again and push the vacuum, so I think I'm doing well. Oh, and I made new curtains for the kitchen and hung the small window myself. Had to have help getting the big one up, but it's done. Next on the list is driving again. Since it rained today I think I'm NOT trying it today but look out when it dries up.
COOL BEANS! You rock, Judy! Thanks for the update!
I don't know this person, but she needs prayer immediately. Please pass on to all you can.
This is a prayer chain for my mother Deb Tyler. She is in Toledo Hospital in very critical condition and they don't know what's wrong with her or what is causing this! So my family and I are asking you to send this to every one in your contacts. PLEASE PRAY F0R HER T0 GET BETTER AND F0R THEM TO FIND 0UT WHAT IS CAUSING THIS! If you have a heart you will pass this on!
YIKESARONI! That we will do! Thanks, Shari!
I have been just fascinated by your website!
I am Judy Mawyer, Class of '64, and would like to be added to your mailing list. Unfortunately, I will not be able to attend our class reunion and will miss seeing everyone.
I have just read the "In Memoriam" page (for the Class of 1964) and am so saddened by our losses. I was raised in the Briarfield section of Newport News and can remember going home with Becky May after school and playing. She was such a sweet, sweet person. And Edna Johnson (Matthews), Kathy Agee (Glenny), wonderful Melba (Dees Wood Graveley). I remember crying on Gerald Wright's shoulder with boyfriend problems and dating Darrell Boland. And so many more from our class.. it's all so sad and such a loss.
I live in the small community of Henrico on Lake Gaston in North Carolina (the Virginia line is just around the corner).

I'm so very sorry you'll not be able to attend your Reunion, Judy! Hey, I'm very sorry that I won't be able to attend your Reunion! It's sure to be fabulous!
We're looking forward to hearing more from you soon, Judy!
Happy Birthday tomorrow to Dale Parsons ('69) of HA!

October 6, 1939 - Adolf Hitler denied any intention to wage war against Britain and France in an address to Reichstag.
October 6, 1944 - Former French premier and Vichy collaborator Pierre Laval tried to kill himself on the day he was to be executed for treason. A physician saved Laval from the cyanide he had taken. Laval was executed a little less than two weeks later.
October 6, 1949 - Iva Toguri D'Aquino was sentenced to 10 years in prison and fined $10,000 for war crimes. The conviction was for being Japanese wartime broadcaster "Tokyo Rose."
October 6, 1949 - U.S. president Harry Truman signed the Mutual Defense Assistance Act. The act provided $1.3 billion in the form of military aid to NATO countries.
Tuesday, October 06, 1964 - Alternative rock/power pop musician Matthew Sweet was born in Lincoln, Nebraska.
Is it possible that George Helliesen ('61) of MI forgot that he also raced on the James River Bridge or perhaps he was unwilling to confess all of his youth indiscretions in his recent recollections of the Peninsula.
GIGGLES! Perhaps he was saving that story for a future time, Adonis!
Captain Dave (Spriggs - '64 - of VA) comes through again with the photos of Camp Patrick Henry and the current Patrick Henry International Airport. This topic has sure provided a lot of outstanding responses from the TYPHOON Nation.
BOY HOWDY! And there's even more to come tomorrow!
Thanks for running the "Train" theme again. It always reminds me of the Powhatan Arrow that arrived in Newport News at the terminal next to the C & O Piers with all the familiar sounds of a steam engine. She was a beauty as she rolled onto the pier at the station, adjacent to the Steamer berth behind the train station. What a transportation system we had back which was capable of providing daydreaming youths with dreams of being a railroad engineer or steamship captain. Now the rails are quiet, and steamship berths empty, and a restaurant that occupied the train station after it stopped operating has closed.
That was my pleasure, Major Madagan; I DO so love trains!
Our NNHS / Staunton Military Academy graduate that went on to be awarded the Bronze Star for combat heroism during the Korean War is too reluctant to allow me to tell his story. My plans to nominate him for the Famous Marine page have been dashed by his modesty. Anyone who has read Gene Kranz book "Failure is Not An Option" will know the identify of this Marine "Mustang" Captain. He is still one colorful Marine Veteran.
and should not be confused with "Noteworthy Marines", although the two are not mutually exclusive.
... We turned on (the Saturday morning session of The 179th Semiannual General) Conference (of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) at 10am, and Eme and I listened and designed her Baptism invitations at the same time. I think it turned out SO cute! Brent (Harty - Hillsboro HS, IL - '90) of TX) wasn't crazy about the flower on her ear, but it's really the only thing she REALLY wanted. And, after all, it's her invitation, right? Still, I think it's adorable! I used Irene Alexeeva's Thumbelina kit for it. Fabulous!
I think they're beautiful - and I really like the flower in her hair! You and Eme did a great job, Sweet Bethany! Thanks for sharing this! And I'm almost finished crochenitting the entire bodice for her white baptismal dress, too! I should be able to finish it tonight!
God was missing for six days. Eventually, Michael, the archangel, found him, resting on the seventh day..
"It's a planet," replied God, and I've put life on it.. I'm going to call it Earth and it's going to be a place to test Balance."
The Archangel , impressed by God's work, then pointed to a land area and said, "What's that one?"
"That's the Commonwealth of Virginia , the most glorious place on earth. There are beautiful mountains, rivers and streams, lakes, forests, hills, and plains. The people from the Commonwealth of Virginia are going to be handsome, modest, intelligent, and humorous, and they are going to travel the world. They will be extremely sociable, hardworking, high achieving, carriers of peace, and producers of good things."
Michael gasped in wonder and admiration, but then asked, "But what about balance, God? You said there would be balance..."
God smiled, "Right next to Virginia is Washington DC. Wait till you see the idiots I put there."
"To be a Virginian, either by birth, marriage, adoption, or even on one's mother's side, is an introduction to any state in the Union, a passport to any foreign country, and a benediction from the Almighty God."
Bob went over to his friend Joe's house and was amazed at how well Joe treated his wife. He often told her how attractive she was, complimented her on her cooking and showered her with hugs and kisses.
"Gee," Bob remarked later, "you really make a big fuss over your wife."
"I started to appreciate her more about six months ago," Joe said. "It has revived our marriage and we couldn't be happier."
Inspired, Bob hurried home, hugged his wife and told her how much he loved her and said he wanted to hear all about her day. But she burst into tears. "Honey," Bob said, "what's the matter?"
"This has been the worst day," she replied. "This morning Billy fell off his bike and broke his ankle, then the washing machine broke. Now to top it off, you come home drunk!"
Seven months pregnant, my hand on my aching back, I stood in line at the post office for what seemed an eternity.
"Honey," said a woman behind me, "I had back pain during my pregnancy. I was bedridden for four months because my baby was sitting on a nerve."
"You'd better get used to it now. Once those kids get on your nerves, they can stay there till they're 18."
Changing my life with your love has been so easy for you.
Till time stands still, until the winds don't blow.
I'll still be lovin', I'll still be lovin' you.
I'll still be lovin' you.

Home > The Blog > Increased penalties under the Privacy Act
On 25 March 2019, the Federal Government announced plans to increase penalties for breaches of Australia's privacy laws. Legislation is being drafted for consultation in the second half of 2019.
Although targeted at social media platforms, the new increased penalties will affect all entities required to comply with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) ('Privacy Act').
What are the increased penalties?
The amendments to the Privacy Act will increase penalties for breaches from the current maximum of $2.1 million for serious or repeated breaches to the greater of either:
$10 million;
three times the benefit obtained from the misuse of information; or
10% of a company's annual domestic turnover.
The Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) will be backed by a broader enforcement power and larger financial penalties for lack of compliance with minor breaches:
up to $63,000 for corporate bodies; or
$12,600 for individuals.
How does this affect your business?
This is a timely reminder for businesses to get their privacy practices up to scratch.
If your business:
has an annual turnover of $3 million or more; and/or
collects information relating to an individual's health (regardless of turnover); or
routinely discloses personal information to third parties (regardless of turnover),
but does not have a Privacy Policy or Data Breach Policy in place, it is time to contact Freya Sinickas.
New Year – new laws for financial planners
Why not litigate?

Sheffield mum pioneers the city's first same-sex parenting group
December 5, 2019 December 5, 2019 Amy Clarke 250 Views parenting
A unique support group is gathering momentum as it gets set to celebrate its first month in existence.
Rattle and Roll Playspace, on Vincent Road in Nether Edge, hosts Sheffield's first parent and child group for same-sex couples.
Tomorrow marks the fourth week for the group which was created by Anne Connolly, the owner of the play space and mum and café supervisor, Katy Middleton-Groom, 30.
The pair were discussing how there were no groups in the area where specifically same-sex parents could bring their children to socialise.
At the first session Katy's family were the only ones to attend, but as time has gone on and word has spread, more and more parents and their children are coming along.
She said: "As a same sex parent myself, I haven't come across anything similar, only Facebook groups but nothing where you can meet people in person. We realised it would be a great opportunity for people with similar family situations to meet up."
Katy explained that some negative comments on a Sheffield Star article announcing the start-up of the group stood out to her. A few people did not understand the need for a separate parenting group, but she explained that everyone was welcome and that the main goal was to show the children similar family dynamics to their own.
She said: "I feel it is so important because by the time our babies reach school age I would like for Dolly to realise she is not the odd one out, even if she doesn't have anyone in her class with two mums or dads."
Despite this, the vast amount of the response has been positive along with a lot of sharing and discussion around Sheffield's LGBT community. Katy is enthusiastic about meeting new families at the playspace.
"I am lucky Dolly has several friends with two mums, although she hasn't met anyone with two dads yet, so would be great for her to meet that type of family too," she said.
Katy and her wife Nicola, 33, met on New Year's Eve 2010 at the nightclub, Dempsey's in the city centre and been inseparable ever since. They were married two years ago. Her family and friends has always been supportive.
She had always wanted to be a mother and so there was very little doubt in her mind about whether or not to have a baby. The couple used an anonymous sperm-donor to conceive their one-year-old girl. As first-time mums, parenthood has been both exciting and demanding.
Katy said: "It's hard from time to time but Dolly is the most content baby and she brings us absolute happiness.
"We had been trying for a couple of years before having Dolly, had several miscarriages unfortunately, and then we decided to have treatment at Jessops Fertility. We were super lucky and it worked first time round. We had initial worries about our future child being bullied at school but hopefully times are changing for the better."
She explained that nothing outright unkind has been said since she had her little girl, but had experienced situations such as doctors being confused by both her and Nicola being Dolly's mum.
The support group runs on Fridays from 10am to noon – to find out more about Rattle and Roll Playspace call on 0114 255 9241 or visit their Facebook page.

–Charitable affiliates are often formed by businesses as a means for conducting charitable activities that support the founding organization's community and social causes. Toews Law Group, Inc., attorneys for nonprofits in San Luis Obispo, CA, are well versed and experienced in helping businesses organize charitable affiliates.
In California, the term "charities" applies to tax-exempt, nonprofit public benefit corporations. This means that the organization has filed all the necessary documentation and registered with the California Secretary of State, is also registered with the California Attorney General's Registry of Charitable Trusts, and has been granted federal and state tax exemptions.
Soliciting donations without the appropriate nonprofit status can open a business to legal scrutiny. Even under the best of circumstances, when all the bookkeeping is in order, and donations are recorded and transferred properly, a business does not need the interruption or the possible loss of goodwill that such an investigation would bring.
Toews Law Group, Inc. has assisted several businesses, service clubs and trade organizations establish charitable affiliates so that these organizations can carry out their charitable activities with as little liability as possible, and continue to support their communities.
Relying on legal experts helps businesses and organizations meet all of the requirements for creating a charitable affiliate in California. The appropriate legal firm can advise about important details such as establishing a board of directors, keeping the appropriate financial records, letters of agreement between the charitable affiliate and the charitable organizations it is helping support, and whether a public benefit corporation, a family foundation, or other kinds of charitable/nonprofit entity is best for conducting the charitable work.
Toews Law Group, Inc. can also help out-of-state charitable organizations file with the California Secretary of State and review and prepare documents to assist California nonprofits to solicit donations in other states.
Toews Law Group, Inc. also assists charitable organizations form for-profit subsidiaries, which allow them to carry on profitable activities that contribute to their support without jeopardizing their tax exemptions.

Bumble's brilliant new campaign proves that getting close from afar has never been easier
The app has noticed a surge of people enjoying 'virtual dates' and, quite frankly, what's not to love?
By Bianca London
In partnership with Bumble
Website Director with a penchant for crystals, tablescapes & McNuggets. Unofficial Whispering Angel/Infernos Clapham ambassador.
From how we shop (god bless you, Ocado) to how we style our hair (hello, virtual hair consultations), we are putting all our faith in technology to help us navigate and adapt our day-to-day lives right now.
As well as keeping on top of finances, fitness regimes, beauty routines and our mental health, our love lives are also a priority – and just because you can't physically leave the house doesn't mean you can't 'get out there'.
Thankfully, social networking app Bumble wants to remind you that we can still maintain human connection from afar.
The women-first social network quite rightfully notes that human beings need connection like Brits need tea (especially in a time of a crisis). So as we all adjust to this temporary 'norm', the app wants to highlight the importance of staying connected with others and bringing each other moments of joy via its brilliant new Get Close, From Afar campaign.
The super moving film shows what it means to connect with someone from afar; those little moments of joy that are still possible, with everything still to look forward to. The film proves that new relationships can still begin – and grow – during this time (phew!), that you really can build a sense of closeness even when you're apart, that flirting can be just as exciting over the phone, and that dates from a distance can be just as fun as the ones IRL.
I tried Bumble's top 10 opening lines and these were the most successful...
We tried them so you don't have to.
So, how do you virtual date?
Bumble has noticed a surge of people enjoying 'virtual dates' and, quite frankly, what's not to love? You can use the extra time you'd have used on your commute to get dressed up, make yourself a little tipple and use your imagination to conjure up creative and fun virtual dates. If you're not feeling it, there's no time or money wasted, and if the date is going well, you don't need to worry about dashing off to catch the last train home. Plus, you can do it safely from the comfort of your sofa and it's a far more productive way to spend your time at home than aimlessly scrolling through social media or binge-watching Friends for the fifth time.
You can have a close-to 'real life' connection experience without exhausting the precious time and expense often associated with dating and meeting in person (no, that fourth round of espresso martinis was not necessary).
Speaking about the new age of virtual dating, Naomi Walkland, Bumble's associate director for EMEA marketing, explained: "The COVID-19 pandemic has led to vast societal shifts in how we communicate. When physical connection is limited, people will seek deeper connections and a sense of stability. Bumble video calling can help people to make new connections during this period and allow our users more time to get to know each other."

Thus, it was decided for restricting the theoretical field to the Aesthetic and pedagogical questions that had been identified in the Manifesto. A short text of departure, that started to leaven and if it showed appropriate stops ampler and deep analyses in diverse directions. Supported for the thought of Morin against the reducing spirit and believing the thought route to the complexity, then not the reducionismo, closed the focus in the questions that better were disclosed, preventing to the maximum the excess and the sin of the superficiality. The art is composed of languages for which the men dialogue with the world. It is difficult to speak of art without sending to the thought the great personages who the time immortalized. We prefer to believe that the author of the Manifesto tried to not only direct its text to the laypeople and to the specialists, therefore such impression was what it motivated in them to take the work ahead.
As the dialectic of Plato, that considers the dialogue as it searchs joint of the truth, the present monograph is strengthenn in investigating the Versatilista Manifesto in one search ' ' verdade' ' possible, that surely it does not have to be the only one.

Slab-on-ground is the most common and has two variants: conventional slabs with deep excavated beams and waffle pod slabs, which sit near ground level and have a grid of expanded polystyrene foam pods as void formers creating a maze of beams in between.
Updated March 6th, 2018. Grade beam is a part of a substructure of a building. It is normally built with reinforced cement concrete. A grade beam connects two or more short columns.
monolithic slabs In a simple monolithic slab, the slab and the footing are one and the same, with the footing at the perimeter of the slab and under any load -bearing walls being "turned down" a lilttle deeper than the floor area.
FLOOR CONSTRUCTION Woodframe floor systems and concrete slab-on-grade floors are discussed in this chapter. permitted but not discussed here are pressure-treated wood floor systems on ground; information on the use of these systems is provided in IRC Chapter 5.
Casting concrete slab is considerably crucial task in building construction and requires great planning and accuracy, in addition to proper execution sequence. This article presents proper procedure on how to prepare and cast reinforced concrete slab.
Reinforced slab-on-ground concrete floors that combined the floor and the foundation became popular during the late 1970s as they were considered to be cheaper on flattish sites , termite, borer and vermin-proof, fire-resistant, draught-proof, and did not deteriorate.
A modern floor design with a DPM and concrete may work well in a traditional building too if the groundwater is minimal, but all too often the capillary effect of the substrate draws groundwater to the underside of the floor slab where it accumulates.
Floor slabs are often the source of leakage into the building with slab cracking of common concrete materials being a primary cause. Issues of controlling soil gas emissions such as radon may also be of importance.
A concrete slab is a common structural element of modern buildings. Horizontal slabs of steel reinforced concrete, typically between 4 and 20 inches is used to construct the ground floor of a building. These can either be "ground-bearing" or "suspended" slabs.


Analysis of genome-scale Gene Networks (GNs) from large-scale gene expression profiles opens the door to uncover new biological knowledge. However, inferring genome-scale Gene Network (GN) from large-scale gene expression data and subsequent functional module mining are very computational intense tasks; therefore it requires both efficient algorithms and parallel computing engineering in order to enable and empower Genome-scale Gene Network analysis. Context likelihood of relatedness (CLR) method based on the mutual information for scoring the similarity of gene pairs is one of the most accurate methods to infer gene networks. But it is computational unfeasibility to decipher a genome-wide network with large genomes, such as many plant genomes, with large-scale gene expression profiles, on a single computer due to limits on memory and CPU capacity. DeGNServer is a high performance web server that is capable of constructing genome-scale networks and further mining sub-networks from large genome-scale expression profiles for the species with large genomes/large number of genes.

Warnsdorf (Warnsdorff) − śląski i łużycki herb szlachecki, uznawany przez niektórych niemieckich heraldyków (Hefnera, Ledebura) za odmianę herbu Leliwa.

Opis herbu
Herb występował w przynajmniej kilku wariantach. Ich blazonowanie można stworzyć następująco:

Warnsdorf I: W polu błękitnym półksiężyc srebrny rogami do góry nad którym sześciopromienna gwiazda srebrna. Nad hełmem w koronie powtórzone godło, ale na końcach półksiężyca i na gwieździe pióra strusie zabarwione podłużnie – w połowie błękitne, w połowie srebrne. Labry błękitne podbite srebrem.

Warnsdorf II: W polu błękitnym nad półksiężycem srebrnym rogami do góry – sześciopromienna gwiazda złota. Nad hełmem w koronie powtórzone godło, ale na końcach półksiężyca i na gwieździe pióra strusie zabarwione podłużnie – w połowie błękitne, w połowie srebrne.

Warnsdorf III: W polu błękitnym nad półksiężycem srebrnym rogami do góry – sześciopromienna gwiazda srebrna. Nad hełmem w koronie powtórzone godło, ale na końcach półksiężyca i na gwieździe pióra strusie: białe między niebieskimi.

Najwcześniejsze wzmianki
Według Ernsta Heinricha Kneschke stary łużycko-śląsko-czesko-saksoński ród szlachecki, który miał być znany już od końca XII wieku (mieli wywodzić się z miejscowości Varnsdorf koło Żytawy).

Rodzina Warnsdorf
Według Tagebuch von Zittau Gotthelfa Flaschnera z 1799 roku ród rycerski von Warnsdorf miał być jednym z najstarszych w Łużycach, podaje on legendę, że 24 mężów z tego rodu za rządów Fryderyka I miało wyruszyć na wojnę z saracenami, a po ich powrocie w 1190 za swoją dzielność mieli oni zostać podniesieni do stanu rycerskiego i miał być im nadany herb: biały półksiężyc i gwiazda na niebieskim tle. Według innej relacji ród ten około stu lat przed reformacją miał opuścić Polskę i przenieść swoją siedzibę do Czech, do miejscowości nazwanej później Warnsdorf (koło Rumburka). Przyjąwszy nową doktrynę mieli oni sprzedać tę miejscowość i zamieszkać w Łużycach, gdzie w XVI i XVII wieku zaliczali się do sześciu najznaczniejszych domów szlacheckich. Na Śląsku ich gałąź miała pojawić się już wcześniej: Hans von Warnsdorf (także jako Hans Wölfel von W., Johann von W., Jan z Varnsdorfu) wspominany jest jako stronnik króla czeskiego Jerzego z Podiebradów, Landeshauptmann w hrabstwie kłodzkim. Najwcześniejsza wzmianka o tej rodzinie pochodzi jednak z 1217 – Wilhelm von Warnsdorf miał być posłem cesarskim w Aragonii. W 1414 rycerz Nicolaus von Warnsdorf wspominany jest na Soborze w Konstacji, natomiast w 1455 Wenzel von W. występuje jako Amtshauptmann w okręgu Görlitz. Rodzina do XVIII wieku posiadała wiele dóbr w Łużycach. Na początku XVII wieku rozprzestrzeniła się także na Śląsku w księstwie świdnickim (gałąź Giesmannsdorf) gdzie także weszła w posiadanie znacznych dóbr. Wielu przedstawicieli rodziny miało służyć w armii saksońskiej i pruskiej.

Currently built by the specs for the map in the CK Guide to Haunted Highlands and rendered for 5' squares with each square being 200 pixels. Yeah, it is over-built, but this way it can be scaled down as needed.
Cool. Are you using a particular tool or graphic sets to put this together?
Where are you running your game?
I used Profantasy's Campaign Cartographer to map it out. A lot of the art was from the CSUAC Cartographic Collection which is a massive amount of free cartographic resources.
I currently don't have a running campaign. I am hoping to get started by October - but I have a lot of things to accomplish before then. When I do get going, it will be with Fantasy Grounds for VTT support and probably Discord for voice chat.
Count me in if scheduling works out.
By the way, welcome to the forum !
you really brought it to life.


Eco-design: an innovative approach that focuses on prevention as a means of minimizing the impact of packaging on the environment.
Short-lived, sometimes bulky, packaging has been an integral part of our daily lives for many years now. And it hasn't stopped changing! The agri-food industry, the largest user of packaging, is also the primary vector for innovation in the sector.
Often criticized and accused of being a source of contamination and pollution, we often forget that packaging serves many purposes. The main function of packaging is to preserve and protect the product as it moves down the chain, from producer to consumer by way of transportation and intermediate storage. It helps to prevent spoilage and damage, which would result in economic and ecological loss! Good packaging also helps to guarantee the health and safety of consumers. Packaging serves several other purposes, such as displaying information, marketing, and diversifying and presenting products in various portions.
When we think of the environment and packaging, we inevitably think of waste. The problem often arises from over packaging, rather than the packaging itself. This problem is costly for manufacturers and is very annoying for consumers. In Québec, the adoption of new environmental standards, which come at the same time as regulations 102 and 130, may well bring on a new era in packaging design. That's good news!
For all businesses in the agri-food sector, "producing better with less" is becoming an urgent matter. The solution may lie in eco-design, an innovative approach that focuses on prevention as a means of minimizing the impact of packaging on the environment throughout its life cycle. It involves reducing at the source, reusing and recycling, and promoting the use of renewable materials in the designing process. This approach is often advantageous for companies since, in most cases, it helps to increase profits, through increased sales and a reduction in production costs. It reinforces the brand image, demonstrating a true commitment to environmental responsibility, which is also an excellent way to set yourself apart from the competition.
What about you? Do you pay close attention to packaging when you're shopping? Do you avoid buying certain products because they're over-packaged?


Widely acknowledged as "the poet laureate of the blues," bassist-composer and Chess Records A&R man Willie Dixon wrote timeless tunes for such profound Chicago blues icons as Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Koko Taylor, Junior Wells and Buddy Guy. For this Great American Music Hall concert, Dixon led a cast All-Stars from the Windy City, including pianist Lafayette Leake, young harmonica ace Billy Branch (21 at the time), guitarist Buster Benton, drummer Clifton James and his son Freddie Dixon on electric bass.
Following individual band introductions by leader Dixon over a quintessential Chicago beat, Branch kicks off an energized instrumental romp with his urgent harp blowing, underscored by James' insistent shuffle beat. Benton adds some economic and well-chosen licks on his guitar solo, but it's Branch who carries the tune with his forceful blowing. Pianist Leake then steps forward to testify on his slow blues "Fine Little Girl"(which sounds suspiciously similar to Buddy Guy's "Suits Me to a Tee") while also delivering some sparkling piano work. Leake continues to tickle the ivories in virtuosic fashion on an upbeat instrumental showcase, then Benton takes over the vocals and delivers stinging licks on an earthy Chicago shuffle variation on Big Joe Turner's "Wee Baby Blues." Benton next brings a soulful feeling to his vocals on T-Bone Walker's "Don't Throw Your Love on Me So Strong" while also summoning up some B.B. and Albert King-inspired six-string work on this earthy slow blues. Branch's blues harp work here is highlight.
A powerhouse on the bandstand and a sharp businessman off, Dixon was born on July 1, 1915, in Vicksburg, Mississippi, though he is forever identified with Chicago blues. After singing in gospel groups around Mississippi, he hopped a freight train to the Windy City in 1936 and trained to become a boxer, winning the Illinois Golden Gloves championship in the novice heavyweight category. After quitting the boxing racket, he sang with various gospel groups before joining the vocal harmony group The Five Breezes in 1939. He made his first recordings with the group. In 1946, formed the Big Three Trio with his Five Breezes band mate Leonard Caston on piano and Ollie Crawford on guitar. Patterned after the popular Mills Brothers vocal harmony group, they had many successful tours and recordings from 1946 to 1951 before disbanding. Dixon then joined the staff at Chess Records, where he became the label's top writer, churning out hits for Muddy Waters ("Hoochie Coochie Man," "I'm Ready," "I Just Wanna Make Love to You"), Howlin' Wolf ("Little Red Rooster," "I Ain't Superstitious," "Evil," "Spoonful"), Little Walter ("My Babe"), Otis Rush ("I Can't Quit You Baby") and Koko Taylor ("Wang Dang Doodle"). In all, Dixon had more than 500 compositions to his credit.

Now reading: How the Melbourne Climate Affects our Whiskey
How the Melbourne Climate Affects our Whiskey
Experience and evidence have taught distillers that the environment around a barrel impacts how its contents age, how it interacts with wood from the barrel and how much evaporation takes place.
In theory, when the temperature rises, the whiskey expands, penetrating the cask more (and the thirstier the angel's share^ becomes). As the spirit seeps into the pores of the barrel, it reacts with oak to extract colour, character and aroma. When the temperature cools, the whiskey shrinks, and flows back out of the wood along with the extracted compounds from the barrel. The swing from hot to cold is called a 'heat cycle' and allows the whiskey to develop its sweet, oaky flavours.
Whisk(e)y producing regions around the world have different climates. Melbourne is deemed to have an extreme climate when compared to other whisk(e)y regions such as Scotland and the United States. Our Master Distiller, Ian Thorn, analysed the climatic data.
The seasonal temperature fluctuation of Kentucky, USA (Fig 9) has greater swings when compared to Scotland (Fig 10), which has steadier weather and year-round climate consistency^^. However, compare both Kentucky and Scotland to Melbourne, and you can see Melbourne naturally has a more extreme maturation climate, with a greater temperature range and higher maximum temperature.
Figure 9 compares Melbourne (Bureau of Meteorology, 2020) in blue to Louisville in the United States (National Weather Service, 2020) in orange over 30 years of data.
Figure 10 compares Melbourne (Bureau of Meteorology, 2020) in blue to Perth in the highlands of Scotland (Met Office, 2020) in orange over 30 years of data.
To everyday Melbournians it seems impossible to decode the mystery of the sky, notoriously and often colloquial referred to as having 'four seasons in a day'. This is due to Melbourne sitting within a temperate zone (between tropics and polar regions), not unlike two great weather gods at war. We see the semi-arid heat coming down from the warmer regions to the north in summer, and the cool Antarctic oceanic winds from the south during winter. This fluctuating climate is the result of some interesting geographical aspects at play.
We keep our warehouse in Brunswick, Melbourne at ambient temperature, allowing the whiskey to succumb to the impulses of the weather. When compared to Kentucky and Scotland, this results in whiskey with stronger oak influence and oak extractive characters. The liquid will be considerably different to whisky from Scotland, presenting as a lot bolder with more colour and sweetness.
How and where the barrels are stored also play a role on the spirit. In 1879, Frederick Stitzel invented the modern style of barrel warehousing - storing barrels on thin planks rather than solid wooden platforms - allowing the entire exterior surface of the barrel to be exposed to the elements. As for the internal location within the warehouse - temperature, airflow, humidity and other factors - can all impart unique characteristics to the liquid (barrels at the top of the warehouse generally experience higher temperatures than those at the bottom, and therefore age more rapidly). It could be said that every area of the warehouse has its own personality, if you will.
Using Melbourne's unpredictable and varied weather to our advantage, we are able to create our distinctly flavourful spirit with its rye spice. It's a true Melbourne whiskey that reflects the city of where it has been made.
Weather is just one element that influences our rye. Our team is fanatical about researching and delving into what makes our product unique. As we continue to uncover and share these stories with you, hopefully you discover something new.

^During maturation a small amount whiskey evaporates through the wood and into the atmosphere, known as the giving the angels their share. In Melbourne we see the same Angel's share after 2-3 years maturation, as roughly 12-15 years in Scotland.
^^Interestingly, Masataka Taketsuru, founder of Japan's Nikka Whisky, chose the location of his Yoichi distillery in Hokkaido because of the region's similar weather conditions to Scotland. Meanwhile, due to their hot, humid climate, Taiwan's Kavalan ages its whiskies for a fraction of the period that traditional Scottish whiskies do, and are gaining a cult following around the world. Armut in India also use its extreme maturation climate to their advantage. Bangalore, where the distillery is located, experiences a tropical savanna climate with winter temperatures rarely dropping below 12C and summer temperatures rarely exceeding 35C.


What Is Vince McMahon Going to Smackdown next week?
Shane McMahon's suspension for abruptly hitting Kevin Owens was one of the reasons he called yesterday, Tuesday 5, the Smackdown Live edition. Kevin Owens continued to blaspheme against Shane and Daniel Bryan, who confirmed that next week WWE grouper Vince McMahon would hit the Blue Mark after more than four years in not appearing on Smackdown (August 16, 2013).
Although he did not mention motives, he is supposed to put order for his son's behavior against Kevin Owens, and perhaps decree the first fight for the next blue ppv: Hell in a Cell, where Kevin Owens v. Shane McMahon in the cell that the demon built.
He could also announce other things. According to the portal Four3Four , Vince could reach the Blue Mark to give the date of the second Superstars Shake Up using the nonconformity of Kevin Owens to be in Smackdown.
The same portal points out that several names are already rumored for a change of brand, among which stand out: Baron Corbin, Randy Orton, Samoa Joe, Finn Bálor and Owens himself. In the feminine area both Sasha Banks and Becky Lynch could change airs to refresh their careers and support them to leave the bump where they are currently. Although not yet confirmed, the rumors seem consistent with what was previously reported , that after SummerSlam would happen the rearrangement of brands.
In addition to the names mentioned it will be worth considering other names that could "ascend" NXT, such as the former NXT Women's Champion, Asuka or the also discussed Authors of Pain and why not think of Hideo Itami to create a legion Japanese first class on either of the two important rosters.
What other superstar would like to change brand?

Plenty of Fish in the Sea: Three Barrels of Fun is the sixth piece of an eight-piece figurative Art for Children mixed media series which ignites children's imagination and holds it in a tenacious yet intimate grip in order to facilitate an interactive space for children to become the artist as well as expose them to the notion of diversity in a most comfortable yet inquisitive manner. While this Disney-like piece is perfectly suitable for a framed stand alone piece, my intention is for it to be printed jointly with the other works in the series because the "story" evolves and gets more nuanced from one work to the next much like a fairy tale. This series is available on canvas, metal, fine art paper and much more. Nevertheless, wall decals offer the most practical way (the best bang for your buck, as well) for children to draw extras, add speech bubbles and doodle imaginary characters ON the print. Because of the variety of printing options ranging from printing on metal to framed canvas and even wall decals it is guaranteed that no one else in the world will have your specific piece of art. It will be a singular authentic reflection of your child's personality.

Bean by Bean is the first cookbook that Ive actually read through. I stayed up with this one, couldnt put it down. Perhaps it was Dragonwagons heart-warming voice and the lore she allows to simmer with each recipe. I learned how to grow beans, soak beans (properly), boil beans (properly), and eat beans in just about every way/5. "THE BEAN FAMILY AND ITS NAME" ~• copied from typewritten doc of mid 20th century by MMvB vol curator The Name Bean is derived from the Scotch word beane, meaning "fair". According to one authority it was used by the Highlanders to distinguish a particular man of fair complexion. Another etymologist claims that Bean is a nickname for Bennett.
Benjamin, like most children, doesn't want to go to bed. But his parents insist so they can finish up their chores. When Benjamin hears laughter from outside his bedroom window, he decides to investigate, and learns that his parents, and their friends, aren't really doing chores at all.

In Congo, more women than men infected with ebola
The Democratic Republic of the Congo experiences its very best eruption by Ebola Virus Disease. More than 420 Ebola cases have been reported in eastern Congo. Nearly 60 percent of those infected have died of the disease. This is the country's tenth known Ebola epidemic but this is unusual because more than 60 percent of the patients are female. Among them is the baby benedicte. She has lived for a month, and her short life has already been extremely difficult. She weighs 2.9 kg. And she's alone. Her mother had Ebola and died to give birth to her. Baby Benedicte has spent the last three weeks of his life in a plastic insulation container without direct human contact. She developed a body temperature higher than 8 days old and was moved to a hospital in the city of Beni. Tests show that Ebola has infected over 400 people in Beni since early August. This makes this the second worst Ebola outbreak in history after the disease killed more than 1 1,000 people in West Africa between 2013 and 2016. The Democratic Republic of Congo is one of the poorest nations in the world. It is struggling with civil and political uncertainty as well as corruption. This is the 10th outbreak of Ebola to hit the country since 1976, when Ebola was first identified. Guido Cornale is with UNICEF, the UN Children's Emergency Fund.

The Democratic Republic of the Congo experiences its very best eruption by Ebola Virus Disease.
More than 420 Ebola cases have been reported in eastern Congo. Nearly 60 percent of those infected have died of the disease.
This is the country's tenth known Ebola epidemic but this is unusual because more than 60 percent of the patients are female.
Among them is the baby benedicte. She has lived for a month, and her short life has already been extremely difficult.
She weighs 2.9 kg. And she's alone. Her mother had Ebola and died to give birth to her.
Baby Benedicte has spent the last three weeks of his life in a plastic insulation container without direct human contact. She developed a body temperature higher than 8 days old and was moved to a hospital in the city of Beni.
Tests show that Ebola has infected over 400 people in Beni since early August. This makes this the second worst Ebola outbreak in history after the disease killed more than 1
1,000 people in West Africa between 2013 and 2016.
The Democratic Republic of Congo is one of the poorest nations in the world. It is struggling with civil and political uncertainty as well as corruption. This is the 10th outbreak of Ebola to hit the country since 1976, when Ebola was first identified.
Guido Cornale is with UNICEF, the UN Children's Emergency Fund. He says that the size of this outbreak is clear.
"It has become the worst eruption in Congo, this is not a mystery," he said.
What's mysterious is why more than 60 percent of cases are women, says Ndjoloko Tambwe Bathe, government health officer.
"This epidemic is feminized … it is true that women are more numerous than male cases," he said.
Bathe would not predict when the outbreak could end, but international health officials have said it may take another six months. Experts are still studying why this epidemic affects mostly women and children, Cornale said.
"So now we can only guess . And one of the guesses is that the woman is a caretaker of sick homes. So if a family member got sick, who cares for him or her? Normally, it's a woman he said.
Or a nurse. Many of them affected are healthcare professionals. Nurse Guilaine Mulindwa Masika spent 16 days in care after a patient gave the virus to her. She says it was the struggle of her life.
"The pain was Constant "she said.
For the sick, the road to recovery is long and lonely. Masika and others who were infected can not return to work until they are sure that the risk of infection is gone. The main hospital in Beni has families who have recovered lived in a large white guard. They are held four meters from human contact.
A nurse covered in protective clothing cares about Benedicte. Her future is unclear. is not sure where her dad is or if he will come to her.
She sleeps mostly when her death continues. 19659002] I'm Susan Shand.

There's no such thing as a free lunch – should you write for free?
Actually, there is such a thing as a free lunch! My church put on a free lunch on the first Saturday of every month. They offer soup, fresh crusty bread and cakes, and it is very popular. Some of the homeless people in the town are waiting eagerly outside, at 12 pm, ready to come and eat and stay until the end, at 2. I have known people who are struggling, who are down on their luck, or just not making ends meet that month, come and enjoy a free hot meal. Not even a collection is taken – it is completely free.
However, when you are setting out as a writer, where do you find opportunities to write, if not for free? There are job ads everywhere, offering internships, voluntary positions, or even, the old chestnut, more paid work will be along soon! How do you know whether this is a position that will give you good experience and bring along better things, or whether you are just being taken advantage of? Here are three opportunities, where you might consider offering your services for free, and three where you would be well-advised to stay clear.
A local charity is looking for someone to help with writing some articles for the magazine. It is a subject that you know something about, and you would like to write more about. Yes – especially if you are looking for some clips for a portfolio. This kind of thing is fine, especially for smaller, local charities. The only time I would be hesitant, would be if this were for a charity that could afford to pay. Also, make it clear that it would take second place to paid work, and limit how much you produce for them.
A friend is starting up a business and wants to set up a website. They are looking for help to put content together. You agree to write some pages for them, if you can link to their website on your portfolio. Yes – but with provisos! Not everyone chooses to work with friends – it can be a fast way to lose a friendship! Decide on the scope of the work before you start – how many articles, and know how long it is going to take you. Again, free work should only be done after paid work is done.
You decide to join an article-writing website. The article titles are chosen by you, so you can write about what you want, and the website puts advertising on your articles. You can collect the money for the advertising, once it reaches a certain amount. Your articles are passed by an editor before being published. Again – a qualified yes! This is something that I did, when just starting out. I liked the idea that the article had to be passed by an editor, so that meant it had to pass certain style guides. It taught me how to write a headline and how to write for the web. I made a little money out of it – but don't expect to get seriously rich from this kind of set up! Also do some research before joining such a website – some are better regarded than others. It's best to check out reviews first.
A company posts on a job board, looking for writers. They suggest that the opportunity will be great exposure and experience for a writer – but they can't afford to pay yet. They say that there may be payment somewhere down the line… no! The problem is, that you don't know the person and you have no idea about their circumstances. They may be telling the truth, but they may not. Stay clear or be taken advantage of!
You are emailed by a person you don't know, out of the blue. They offer minimal compensation, but ask for a free trial of your writing to check whether you are up to the right standard. Not recommended! If they receive enough writers willing to do a free trial – will they need to pay at all? They may have emailed you, but you have no guarantee that this work is going to be worth your while. I have occasionally sent over a trial piece – but on the understanding that if they want to use it, I want to be paid for it!
You offer an article to a publication that pay for print and online pieces. Their reply tells you that they won't be paying you because your piece will published as a blog post. You are a new writer, looking for clips – what do you do? This happened to an experienced freelancer who pulled the piece rather than give this publication free work. They would not have offered the work if they had thought that they would not be paid. This feels like a scam – and you should value your work too much to be taken in by it. If something doesn't feel right – then walk away. There will be other opportunities.
Sarah Arrow of Sark -Media has agreed to be my next interviewee. I hope you enjoy her answers as much as I did.
I have several, including Sarah Stanton, Danielle Stanton, Danielle Field and few others that I'd rather not mention.
Erm, I'm not sure. I'm not sure that I even like writing at times! However I just can't seem to leave it alone long enough to allow something else to take over! Rough idea of where you live: I live in Essex approximately 12 miles from London. Which is close enough to love the City, but far enough away to breathe. My house is on a golf course and in the summer I write in the garden, watching the golfers play. The 8th hole is at the bottom of my garden, so the last 10 feet of it is a no-go zone when they play. Sometimes I sneak to the fence and throw a ball back onto the green when they're not looking.
Are your clients local, global or a mix?
My clients are a mix of global and local. The power of the internet means we can do business anywhere that speaks English.
1. What is the first piece of writing that you remember doing?
My first piece (that I can recall) was an article on Henry VIII. I grew up in East London which is rich in history from the Tudor period. Roads are named after his first two wives and many of the landmarks are related. I found it compelling, yet gruesome to be a Queen in those times and I was thankful to be born now. I still have a fondness for Katherine of Aragon, and I often wonder how England would have looked if she'd have had a son. Did you know she was Regent of the country for a while and she martialled an army to repel Scottish forces? She won.
2. What made you realise that you wanted to write for a living?
It crept up on me! One day I was on maternity leave and playing with the children, the next day I was a blogger! I write prolifically as I've found when you do something more you get better at it.
3. How did you get your first client?
My first client came from a blog post and that fascinated me, I wanted to pick apart why that post worked, why the person contacted me to work with them… The rest they say is history.
4. What do you wish that you had written?
Where do I start! Harry Potter (for the money), I wished that I'd written that. I love how children worldwide started to read again with Harry Potter, proving that they don't need dumbed down writing, but books that make them feel, and understand those feelings. I'd also loved to have written Philippa Gregory's books, she writes very readable historical fiction. There are so many wonderful women writers, and I'm going to read Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel next and by the end of it I'm sure I'll wish that I'd written that as well! If it was a non-fiction book, then Steven Pressfield's The War of Art. It's the book I read the most, I have it on audio and I pick it up at least once a day. I have a handbag edition, a car edition and an under-the-bed edition (for when I lack motivation). To write this book, I'd have had to live a full life and then share my wisdom, and that's part of the reason I love it so much.
5. What is the one tip that you would give aspiring writers?
To keep writing. The words are no good if they're in your head. So write them down, type them.. Just get them out of your head and onto the page. Don't be scared to experiment, don't think you can't self-publish as that's not real writing (look at E.L James she did it and now lives in the centre of London in a fab home), you can do anything you want to do, but if you keep the words locked up… No one will ever know your brilliance.
6. What is your current project?
Aside from my 30 day blogging challenge, I'm writing an alternate history book about a famous English battle. I've mapped the book out, the characters and the basic plot and I'll soon be ready to start filling the pages!
You can find Sarah at her blog, Sark e-Media where she is currently running a 30 day blogging challenge.
Thank you, Sarah for agreeing to be on my blog. There will be more author/freelance interviews soon so keep checking this page for more details.

Finding good clients and customers is can be difficult. Small business owners have to work intensively for their leads and to gain new clients. The most important thing to do to make sure that all your hard work does not go to waste is to cultivate a relationship with your client and keep them for a long time.
This is not a hard thing to do, but it can take a little forethought and planning. Looking after your clients is a way of looking after your business so here are some ways to help you keep your clients.
The way you treat other people says a lot about you. Treat people nicely – all the time, not just when they are potential clients. Try not to get pushy about sales, chill out and relax and make sure that you maintain the same easy tone when writing emails as well as on the phone. It is incredibly easy to be misunderstood on email, so make sure that your emails send out the information that you want them to, professionally and with courtesy.
There is nothing worse than sending an email or leaving a phone message and being left hanging. This is especially important if someone is waiting for important information. Try and get back to clients promptly with information as soon as possible. This can be difficult if you are waiting for a third party to come back to you. Even so, you should keep your client informed as to what is going on and do your best to press your person to get back to you asap. Keeping communications open keeps your clients happy.
Know exactly what it is your client wants. This applies particularly to businesses that offer a service such as copywriting and web design. Some business people ask clients to fill in a questionnaire to help explore their needs for the project.
This is one of the most important things that you can do related to customer service. If you can consistently deliver your work on time, or deliver your products quickly, then you will get a great reputation and recommendations from other people. When estimating service times you should include extra time to make sure the work is done.
If something went wrong, then you need to know about it. Encourage your customers to talk to you about your services and products. Hopefully you'll pick up some nice comments and references. If something went wrong, then make sure you put it right.
I'm from the UK. I live in a town in the Midlands. I have started to write for a living. I have been researching about freelance writing on the web for a number of months now. Then I decided that it was time I did something about it.
I found a lot of great websites out there. Many are helpful. Some just want to sell you something. In there, however there are some gems that will help you learn to take on freelance writing as a job.
There is the traditional way of writing a letter to an Editor of a publication which is known as a 'query letter'. You are selling yourself through words – something you need to learn to do when you want to make a living that way.
The law of averages says that if you send out enough of them, then you must get a job eventually. You will also get a lot of rejection letters too. It helps you to develop a thick skin but does not necessarily pay the bills.
You can apply to become a member of a content mill. The name says it all: writers churn out a high volume of articles of mixed quality which are then put up on the web usually alongside lucrative targeted advertising which makes the company that owns them money.
Most offer writers some of the advertising proceeds, some will pay writers a nominal sum, still others pay a little more. The process is not perfect and you are not adequately compensated for your time. They could be considered a way to learn your craft.
There are websites out there that offer jobs and a way to apply for them on email. They offer free memberships which are restricted as to the number of jobs you can apply for, or paid memberships which offer better access to jobs. Taking a free membership is a great way to see what is out there.
If you have a strong sense of what you are good at: if you can write well and are confident in what you can do, then ask around companies by you and see what jobs you might be able to do for them. This is the best way to find a job that will pay the bills, but it can also be the most scary.
If you want to put a query to a magazine, then find out the person you need to write to. You can do this online. You might also like to check if the magazine has any guidelines that need to be adhered to before submitting.
Bear in mind that magazines usually work at least six months ahead, so seasonal material will need to be submitted well in advance of the actual holiday.
Content Mills are places like Demand Studios, Associated Content, Suite101 among others. You need to check up on them, read through what they require before deciding to submit to them.
They will give you an idea of the kinds of jobs out there, but don't bid for peanuts just to land a job. That is not the way to get a career going.
I will cover these subjects in more detail over time.
You've written a story. It may have flowed easily from your pen, or it may have come in fits and starts. You have got it in front of you: on a laptop, a notebook or a piece of paper. Now what?
Leave it for 24 hours. Or 48, or for a reasonable amount of time. You want to lose the immediacy of having written the story and to have forgotten some of the details. Then read it through again, trying to read it as a reader rather than the author of the piece. You will pick up on annoying phrases, repeated words, spelling mistakes. Ignore them for the moment and read through the story as a whole. Jot down impressions, ideas. Did it all work or was the thinking behind it a little woolly?
Go through the story again and pick out the weak points. Mark them out. Check out discrepancies, spellings, grammar. On a computer this can be easy as most desk top publishing packages will help you pick out any glaring errors. Make sure that you are working in the correct language so that the spellings are correct as English and American spellings can vary.
Your story is as good as you can make it? Now what?
Some people are happy to leave it there and just keep their stories in a file on the computer or in a drawer. Others want to know: is it any good?
The easiest way to know is to ask someone else to read it through. Did I say 'easy'? Actually that is one of the hardest things to do! We all own our writing and can be very sensitive about it. Choose someone you trust and who knows you well. You may find that they have something that they would like you to read as well. The main thing when critiquing someone else's work is to be kind and gentle, but fair. It is a difficult thing to learn.
Another way to find out if your writing is any good is to join a local writing class or group. Many local colleges offer creative writing courses these days and it can be a good way to get to know people with similar interests and a way to have your stories read. It can be a real confidence booster when you come up with a story that everyone enjoys.
There are also online groups which allow you to post stories to be critiqued and to give you the opportunity to critique someone else's story. Be warned, however that the anonymity offered by some of these sites can be seen as an opportunity to be blunt.
It is good to take risks. Sometimes the result is a pleasant surprise. If you want to get serious with your writing, then seeking others' advice is a good way to take. It can be difficult to get your confidence at first, but can also become addictive.
Try showing someone else your writing today and add in the comments if you were brave enough to do so.

I'd like to apologize to all the wiser women in my past I didn't listen to. Like pretty much every teenager and young professional, I felt like I knew as much as there was to know. I honestly didn't think it was possible for there to be so much more knowledge that I didn't possess. But I admit I did learn a lot more things about life, the universe and everything with each passing year, and thus, I became embarrassed of my previous Miss Know-it-all tendencies. Today, let's give praise where praise is due, to those women who have years of expert experience under their belts and a whole lot of wisdom to share. If we're lucky, maybe they'll continue to share it with the rest of us!
With age comes wisdom, sure, but age also solicits higher expectations. However, thanks to the continued wage gap, many women's expectations are often shattered as they move up the career ladder; the higher they climb, the bigger the wage gap becomes. In fact, the accumulative wage gap is more than the cost of a house in even the strongest real-estate markets. Indeed, by the age of 65, the average career gal will have lost more than $430,000 during her working lifetime because of the wage gap. It's about time women earn fair pay for equal work!
The wise warrior we're featuring today is Carol Seymour, and, ladies, she's got the expertise to help you navigate your career to success, despite that unrelenting wage gap. With decades of executive-level experience, Carol knows her way around business, particularly as a woman in a man's corporate world. She's the founder of Signature Leaders, a program designed to cultivate a steady pipeline of accomplished female executives into upper-executive levels.
The Signature Leaders Signature Program is an intensive workshop taught by successful C-suite execs and features actionable elements to give high-performing women the critical knowledge they need to climb that next rung on the career ladder. The program has helped more than 400 women from Fortune 1000 companies tap into success in truly impactful ways.
Carol shares a story of one particular workshop she led. She asked the attending women to think of a person that made an impression on them the previous week, then to reminisce about his or her body language, facial expressions, listening skills and so on. When the women compared notes, one feature stood out. The people with a certain kind of approachable, engaged body language were the ones that made the most impact. This is what Carol calls "practicing presence," and it's a powerful tool in communicating, as well as leaving a lasting impression when it's most important. It comes down to finding mindful moments during a meeting or business conversation, and focusing on your intent instead of your to-do list.
Another feature of Carol's Signature Leaders biz is the Signature Network, which keeps program attendees connected, something we all know is important when working to succeed, no matter the industry.
You don't have to be a C-suite executive to benefit from Carol's expertise. Her book, Wisdom Warriors, features stories about female leaders who have explored what's beneath life's lessons, worked through difficult situations and share their vulnerabilities and wisdom in an effort to help other women become remarkable—in work and in life.
As Carol notes, change can be difficult, but it often leads to growth and renewal—and sometimes, even a path toward leadership and great success. That's spoken like a true wisdom warrior!

I lure babies with biscuits, says man nabbed for stealing children in Abia
By Gordi Udeajah, Umuahia
A suspected child trafficker, Ekene Duru, and his accomplice have been arrested by men of the Rapid Response Squad in Enugu State for stealing two children in Abia State and trafficking them to Port Harcourt, Rivers State to a woman who sells them off to couples looking for children.
While being interrogated, Ekene confessed that he goes about stealing children as little as two years old. "I sell children. I steal children and deliver to people. I steal children of about two years old and sell them off to a woman who stays in Port Harcourt."
On how he gets the children to follow him, Ekene said: "I buy them biscuit or egg. After I steal them, I will enter a motorcycle or tricycle. Nobody stops to ask me who owns the child and the child too will not cry."
Ekene said he has only stolen two children so far and has sold them both, one for N200,000 and the other for N100,000.
The police spokesman, Geoffrey Ogbonna, said the command arrested five persons in connection with the stealing of children. The suspects are Chinonso Sylvanus, aged 17; Ekene Duru, 31; Rose Okoro, 45; Ngozi Ukpabi; and Chidi Okoro.
He told The Guardian yesterday that they were arrested at different times and locations in the state following investigations by men of the command's Rapid Response Squad, adding that they will be charged to court after investigation.
One of Ekene's accomplice, Chinonso Sylvanus, said Ekene contracted him to steal children. "This man here is my Oga. He is the one that asked me to go and steal this child. I stole the child from his mother's shop where she makes hair. I entered there and stole the child. People saw me when I entered and carried the child. The mother knows me.
I stole the boy and carried him to my Oga who gave me N50,000. I used the money to run to Owerri. It was my Oga that told me to run to Owerri or Port Harcourt.''

In questo oscuro andamento, l'attesa diventa nostalgia del passato, il vissuto è di la da venire e il futuro è già dentro di noi.
The light shows the image, the mind creates a story that is revealed with a logical sequence, but as generated by an ephemeral light, we perceive only valid for that moment and, as a game in space-time, every singularity can be the place where the mind, creating their multiple stories.
In this dark trend, the wait becomes nostalgia for the past, the experience is to come and the future is already within us.
