Antigonus Monopthalmus was one of the most important characters during the Diadochi (Successors) wars that followed the death of Alexander the Great.
The paucity of sources for the 4th century BC means that there’s little on Antigonus until his middling adult life. However, his critical role in the disposition of Alexander’s empire in his latter decades means there’s a lot more to chew on later. Whilst there are still gaps, the twists and turns (on both political and military levels) ensures that what the author writes is engaging.
After a short-lived attempt to keep Alexander’s empire whole, it fractured into numerous massive chunks. More than that, Alexander’s (and his father’s before him) military accomplishments meant there were a huge number of incredibly capable, ruthless, bold and ambitious men willing and able to fight over the enormous territory he bequeathed (to put it into context, Alexander reigned over land from modern day Albania to the eastern border of Pakistan).
There’s a natural focus on the military aspect of Antigonus’ life, particularly the epic tussle with Eumenes of Cardia, but this is inextricably linked to the political shenanigans and manoeuvrings of Antigonus and his fellow Diadochi.
Despite having read something of this period there were quite a few instances of new information, or different interpretations of generally agreed events. I found the relationship between Antigonus and his eldest son Demetrius particularly interesting (on both personal and military levels), which stood in stark contrast to the strained [and occasionally filicidal] relationships of the other kings with their sons.
Being picky, there were occasionally small omissions (the author mentions Antigonus had Antigenes killed, but didn’t mention the poor fellow was burnt alive). However, none were glaring or material omissions.
It’s fair to say the Diadochi era, despite being fascinating, is not the best known of periods. I would encourage people to give it a crack, however.
Those interested in this era might also find my review of Ghost on the Throne, by James Romm worth a look.

How to install a SeaSucker Bike Rack
SeaSucker, LLC released a new video demonstrating how to install a SeaSucker Bike Rack. This video is a must-watch for anyone owning or thinking of buying a SeaSucker Bike Rack. Furthermore, it includes several very handy Pro Tips. And finally, the video demonstrates how SeaSucker Vacuum Mounts work.
This video highlights why SeaSucker Vacuum Mounts are NOT suction cups. The key difference between the two is the in-built vacuum pump and the vacuum pad. Subsequently, with its ability to generate significant negative air pressure or vacuum, the vacuum mount is capable of holding higher levels of vacuum compared to a suction cup. For example, each 152 mm (or 6″) Vacuum Mount generates 90 kg (or 210 pounds) of direct pull strength
Pro Tips
The Pro Tips are applicable for all SeaSucker Bike Racks. The first Pro Tip is how to maximise the holding strength and time of each vacuum mount. Firstly, pump up each vacuum mount until the plunger fully retracts. Next, grab hold of the plunger and give it a quick pull followed by a pump or two. This maximises the holding strength and time of the vacuum mount.
Another great Pro Ti[p is how to quickly and easily adjust the fork mount to suit your bike. As a result, this method enables you to find the right tension to secure your bike by its forks
This is a MUST watch video on how to install a SeaSucker Bike Rack. It is applicable for anyone that currently owns or is thinking of purchasing a SeaSucker Bike Rack. Also, you can check out Our Customer’s Cars for more inspiration. Thanks to Austin Powers from SeaSucker.

When I started blogging again, I thought I would put in a good faith effort. I was wrong, but what’s new? I’m no stranger to being incorrect. But the thing is, I’ve always done my best writing when my brain was festering with mixed feelings and the inability to communicate with the spoken word. Lately, I’m rocking communication with the spoken word, and I am happy.
I guess I don’t know what to write about. No one wants to hear about how happy my boyfriend makes me. How nice it is to be completely thrilled with the companionship of another human being; how nice it is to truly love someone. Until I was 26, I was almost certain that being inexplicably happy was a myth. I think I was just looking and looming in all of the wrong places, like a bad country song. It turns out it just takes the right person. It just takes another adult who understands adult responsibilities, adult happiness, and an adult who wants to make things work. Someone that wants to make you laugh and enjoys laughing at/wish you as well. Someone who seems perfect for you. Someone whose shoulder you can’t wait to rest your head on at the end of a long day.
If you had asked me a year or two ago if I believe in two people being perfect for each other, I probably would have resisted punching you in the face. Mostly because that would seem like a terrible question to ask of me. I was a professional in regards to cynicism regarding love and finding your person.
But I’m getting used to this happiness business. In the beginning, I was very scared. It’s terrifying to make yourself vulnerable to something you’ve never truly given free will to believe in. I’m over being scared, and I’ve committed myself to taking the plunge to ride this out.
Misery loves company. I’m finding that my miserable friends find me a lot less entertaining now that I’m not knocking around with anger and pessimism in regard to the being happy with my life. I can see that perhaps I was more entertaining to them when I had loads of hateful things to say at any opportunity in regard to others. But me, well, I’m glad I’m not miserable. This whole being content thing, I feel I can rock it dutifully.
If the sap in this made you puke, it’s okay. Sap still makes me puke at times too. I’m just glad I can believe in it. If the title tricked you into reading this, I also apologize. I mentioned no cheese. But I do love cheese: Gouda, Feta, Swiss, Colby. There’s your cheese, fools.
I love hearing that you’re happy. As someone who is a complete romantic (you can *totally* tell that from my blog, right?), I do believe in happiness.
I’m settling into it. It’s very nice. However, I remain slightly cautious about getting used to it.
I’m so happy to hear that you’re happy. For real. You deserve it, lady :) | http://shamelesssass.wordpress.com/2012/03/19/love-and-other-cheeses/ | 2014-12-18T05:33:46 | CC-MAIN-2014-52 | 1418802765616.69 | [] | 50 |

Just before the holidays, I snagged a great deal on a Silhouette Cameo bundle. It’s the ultimate consumer craft machine – between all the cut files from other designers and the ability to create my own cut files in Adobe Illustrator, the options for being creative are really limitless.
JAM Paper has an amazing selection of envelopes and paper sheets in every color and size you can imagine (and if that’s not enough, they also have wrapping paper, office supplies, and a whole host of other stuff). They sent me a package of ultra-versatile letter-size Kraft paper (and matching Kraft envelopes – both 100% recycled with post-consumer waste), and I knew pairing them with the Cameo’s power would let me make some cute and crafty Valentine’s Day treats.
I also had some sheets of colored cello lying around (like anyone would, of course) so I knew I wanted to make something to play with transparency and create a little piece of “love art” to hang up at home or the office.
See? It even says right on the package that it’s perfect for crafts!
I found some great heart-shaped word art to load up in the Cameo, and I sized it to fit my paper.
Watching the Cameo work is super-cool.
After the Cameo made the cut, I used a glue pen to adhere the cello to the cut. I was worried that it wouldn’t stick, but the cello clung right to the glue. Score! Once the glue dried, I trimmed around my heart shape and was able to stick it up on my window – the perfect little bit of color to brighten up my desk and celebrate love.
I was digging the cello and kraft combo, so I decided to go back to the Cameo once more and make a few *actual* Valentine’s to give out on Valentine’s Day. I found some cards I like and resized them so I could get two on a sheet – waste not, want not!
Once the Cameo was done cutting, I followed the same steps I used on my heart suncatcher – I used my glue pen to get in the delicate parts of the card and then carefully laid the cut design onto the cello. The cards turned out pretty snazzy, I must say. I think some other holidays call for this special treatment.
After all that, I think the envelopes felt a little left out. So I decided to punch a few holes.
Nope, these aren’t going in the mail. Jason is a nostalgic guy who’s not really into material gifts (which makes Christmas shopping that much more difficult). But since we’ve got a ton of pictures piling up on our hard drive, and I’ve even in some of them now that I’m not so ashamed of how I look, I figured he’d enjoy a handy photo album. The envelopes create pockets to store the photos in so I don’t have to tack anything down.
What crafty goodness is everyone else making to celebrate the season of love?
I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

So you want to work out the percentage increase or decrease from 1156 to 2131? 2131 is 84.34%.
Percentage increase/decrease from 1156 to 2131?
An increase or decrease percentage of two numbers can be very useful. Let's say you are a shop that sold 1156 t-shirts in January, and then sold 2131131 and what we need to do first is subtract the old number, 1156, from it:
2131 - 1156 = 975
Once we've done that we need to divide the result, 975, by the original number, 1156. We do this because we need to compare the difference between the new number and the original:
We now have our answer in decimal format. How do we get this into percentage format? Multiply 0.84342560553633 by 100? Ding ding ding! We have a winner:
0.84342560553633 x 100 = 84.34%
We're done! You just successfully calculated the percentage difference from 1156 to 2131.! | https://nineplanets.org/percentage-calculator/what-is-percentage-difference-from-1156-to-2131/ | 2020-10-20T01:08:05 | CC-MAIN-2020-45 | 1603107867463.6 | [] | 78 |
Human trafficking heroes and villains: Representing the problem in anti-trafficking awareness campaigns
O'Brien, Erin (2016) Human trafficking heroes and villains: Representing the problem in anti-trafficking awareness campaigns. Social and Legal Studies, 25(2), pp. 205-224.
Abstract
Since the declaration by the United Nations that awareness raising should be a key part of efforts to combat human trafficking, government and non-government organisations have produced numerous public awareness campaigns designed to capture the public’s attention and sympathy. These campaigns represent the ‘problem’ of trafficking in specific ways, creating heroes and villains by placing the blame for trafficking on some, while obscuring the responsibility of others.
This paper adopts Carol Bacchi’s ‘What is the problem represented to be?’ framework for examining the politicisation of problem representation in 18 anti-trafficking awareness campaigns. It is argued that these campaigns construct a narrow understanding of the problem through the depiction of ‘ideal offenders’. In particular, a strong focus on the demand for commercial sex as causative of human trafficking serves to obscure the problematic role of consumerism in a wide range of industries, and perpetuates an understanding of trafficking that fails to draw a necessary distinction between the demand for labour, and the demand for ‘exploitable’ labour. This problem representation also obscures the role governments in destination countries may play in causing trafficking through imposing restrictive migration regimes that render migrants vulnerable to | http://eprints.qut.edu.au/93611/ | 2017-02-19T22:20:13 | CC-MAIN-2017-09 | 1487501170253.67 | [] | 96 |
So, life has been busy! I just finished the edits for NIGHTSHADE CITY last night, on my birthday no less. By birthday law the edits have to be great, right? Of course Nightshade will be getting one final read through before sending off to my editor, but they are done! I'm thrilled with the changes I made and hopefully my editor will be too. My rats are dear to my heart and I hope I did them proud!
EDWIN COPPERPOT should be off to my agent this week. Editors will finally meet my dead friend Edwin and I couldn't be more excited! He's got a lot to say, and quite eloquently I might add, for a guy who kicked the bucket in 1788.
Last but not least, my super thoughtful husband had our bakery make me a birthday cake out of my business card! They did such a nice job! And yes, if you couldn't tell, it's Halloween themed! Normally, I wouldn't put a severed finger, brains or eyeballs on a cake, although I might write about them! In fact, in Edwin I did!
If only there was more time in the day or I didn't need to sleep! Happy almost Halloween everyone!
xoxo -- Hilary
Happy Birthday, Hilary! Congrats on finishing your edits! And I love the cake - how sweet of your hubby! I can't wait to hear how Marietta likes Edwin (and news of your next sale of course!).
: )
Oh, Casey McCormick! I love the sound of that last part!!! Goose bumps!!
xoxo -- Hilary
Happy Birthday - sounds like good things are happening.
It's all so exciting! And that looks like a great cake, too. :)
Happy birthday! That cake rocks! Congrats on finishing up Edwin! Does your current editor get first crack or will you go out on sub immediately?
Thanks Patti and Janna!
Very exciting stuff! I have a lot to be thankful for this year! :)
I just had leftover cake and I ate way too much! Sugar rush! ;)

Exhibit
January 13 - April 24, 2016
Thompson Library Gallery
The Dancing in the Streets: Carnival from Britain, Brazil, and Beyond exhibit was curated by Nena Couch, Lesley Ferris, and Adela Ruth Tompsett with items from the collection of the Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee Theatre Research Institute at the Ohio State University Libraries.
Dancing in the Streets: Carnival from Britain, Brazil, and Beyond was an exhibition about the cultural expression of Carnival as developed by enslaved people who were transported from Africa. Carnival combines the Roman Catholic festival celebrated across Europe, then introduced by the colonizing Portuguese or French, with contemporary cultural mixing. In each case, this mixing significantly defines and tells the history of the country or specific city. This exhibit explored Carnival’s roots in slavery and emancipation, traditional characters that transmit the history of each festival, and the engagement of Carnival in socio-political issues. Visitors saw original Carnival costumes, photographs, artwork and videos of the dances as well as listened to samples of Carnival music.

Nov. 7, 2013
FRISCO, Texas – Lumberjack Anthony Gallardo was named the Southland Conference Freshman of the Year, announced by league officials in conjunction with the all-conference teams Thursday afternoon.
“Anthony has done a tremendous job all season and is very deserving,” head cross-country coach Cody Clark said. “I felt like going into the conference championships he had a shot at being top freshman and got the job done on the day, I am very proud of him.
“Anthony will have a great opportunity to do well at the South Central Region next Friday. If he starts the race a little smarter, then he can do well. It will be nice to see if he can be the top freshman in the region, which I think he can.”
Gallardo is the first 'Jack to win the freshman honor since Mitch Ownbey in 2008. The native of San Antonio, Texas, finished eighth (25:27.30) in the men’s 8,000-meter run to claim second team All-SLC honors at the SLC Cross Country Champions on Nov. 1.
The freshman was one of four SFA runners to land on the all-conference teams, joined by Nick Guerra (first team), Cody Brown (second team) and Laurie Byrd (second team). Guerra (25:03.00) finished third third overall, followed by Brown (25:16.30) in sixth (25:16.30), while Byrd (21:30.90) led the Ladyjacks with a sixth place finish in the 6,000-meter run.
The top-15 finishers in each race earned All-Southland Conference honors. The top five finishers earned first-team honors, while the next five finishers were named to the second team. The 11th through 15th finishers earned honorable mention all-conference honors.
SFA will continue its season with the NCAA South Central Regional on Nov. 15, in Waco, Texas.

Throughout the season, fans and sports reporters talk about must-win games. Coaches and players fall back on the predictable – but reasonable – rhetoric that every game is a must-win game. This time of year, it’s actually true. No win, no more basketball. Today, the team standing between the Kansas State Wildcats and some more basketball is the Wisconsin Badgers.
According to K-State head coach Frank Martin, keys to the game include keeping the Badgers out of rhythm and rebounding the ball.
“If you give them an offensive rebound, they’re either scoring or pulling it out, and now you are guarding for 30 more seconds and that makes it for a long possession,” Martin said.
Wisconsin is notorious for slowing down the game. In the Big 10 tournament, the Badgers lost to Penn State … 36-33. No I’m not kidding. That’s not a misprint – not the halftime score. They grind down the shot clock and then crash the boards to try and start the possession all over again and do the same thing.
This game will be, among other elements, all about the Js – Jacob Pullen and Jordan Taylor. It should be a pretty compelling matchup. Pullen said Taylor does a good job of using the shot clock, lulling defenders to sleep before taking over a possession. That means the Wildcats have to employ a little variety in stopping him.
“We have to do a great job of defending the ball screen and keeping him in a position where he doesn’t know what kind of defense we’re playing, whether we’re trapping it or soft hedging the ball screen,” Pullen said. “Just really keep him guessing. The other thing is we really got to make him guard. Whoever he is guarding, we have to make sure he plays 36, 37 minutes a game, we’ve got to make sure he is using his energy on both ends, not only on offensive end.”
While Frank Martin said it would be exceedingly difficult to slow down Wisconsin, he said his team has to keep Taylor out of rhythm, not allow him to get comfortable, and to keep him out of the paint.
“When he gets in the paint, then he forces help and then he finds shooters,” Martin said. “They put five shooters out there, four shooters, he is a shooter also, but four other guys outside of him, so then that puts tremendous pressure on your rotations to get to that next shooter. “
Working against the Badgers’ swing offense will be a challenge for the Wildcats, particularly for the forwards because Wisconsin’s big men step out further from the lane than, forcing their defenders to step out and guard further from the basket.
K-State senior forward Curtis Kelly will be one of the players handling this transition, likely matching up against Wisconsin’s Jon Leuer, a 6’10” forward who can shoot from 3-point range.
“I’m going to have to come off screens,” Kelly said. “Instead of dealing with a lot of cross screens I’m going to have to deal with a lot of down screens and stagger screens. And me being a big, that’s going to be a little difficult. But, you know, I’m going to try to do my best to guard the player they want me to guard as best I can.”
Martin said if his team allows Wisconsin to move the ball freely side to side and get it in the paint, the Wildcats will be in trouble because that means Kelly and fellow forward Jordan Henriquez-Roberts get dragged out of the lane, and those are the guys that protect the rim. However, the coach said K-State has faced similar scenarios before, such as playing Iowa State and trying to contain Diante Garrett coming off the ball screen.
“We’ll work on that some today and use some of the experiences from the season to hopefully get us as ready as we can,” Martin said. | https://fabuloussportsbabe.wordpress.com/tag/wildcats-basketball/ | 2018-10-15T20:10:24 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509690.35 | [] | 74 |

1997 DoD Briefing: ‘Others’ can set off earthquakes, volcanoes remotely using electromagnetic waves –By Lori Price, 28 Feb 2010
‘yours,’ ‘others’ and ‘they’ with ‘U.S.,’ ‘U.S.’ and ‘U, ‘one of the foremost infectious disease researchers’ in the United States, who ‘got dizzy’ and his car fell off a bridge in Memphis, TN.
The bridge where his car was found is only a five-minute drive away and in the wrong direction from where he was staying, leaving authorities with a four-hour, unexplained gap until his vehicle was found. Now Memphis police are exploring several theories involving suicide, robbery and murder.
That’s just a ‘we-know-we’re-f*cking-with-you-and-there’s-not-a-damned-thing-you-can-do-about-it’ assassination that any detective on ‘Law & Order: Criminal Intent’ could wrap up in the first half-hour of the episode.

A Melbourne-based senior lawyer stands accused of sexually harassing a female co-worker, although his firm says the text-message relationship was consensual.
How should HR manage high-performing individuals with less-than-desirable behaviours?
A public servant who was injured while having sex on a work trip has won a compensation case – the Federal Government employee was injured when a glass light fitting came away from the wall above her bed in her motel room.
The incident took place in a motel room in a country New South Wales town in 2007, and the woman said the light hit her in the face, injuring her nose, mouth and a tooth and also prompted a psychiatric disorder.
The Government's workplace safety body, ComCare, rejected the woman's compensation claim and its decision was also upheld by the Administrative Appeals Tribunal. However, after appealing the decision in Federal Court, the judge overturned previous findings and ordered her employer to pay compensation as well as her court costs. Judge John Nicholas said the appeals tribunal had been wrong in saying the woman had to prove her injury had been caused by an activity that had been “implied” or “encouraged” by her employer, pointing to an example that if the woman had been injured playing cards in her motel room she would receive compensation, and that the incident was no different. “There will be an order that the tribunal's decision be set aside. I shall also make a declaration that the injuries suffered by the applicant on November 27, 2007 were suffered by her in the course of her employment,” he said.
Compo cut flagged by NSW government
The O'Farrell government has indicated its intention to overhaul the state’s workers’ compensation requirements, flagging an end to weekly benefits from the scheme after a set period, and decreasing lump-sum payments.
An official announcement is expected to take place this week, and according to The Sun-Herald the changes would include:. | http://www.hcamag.com/hr-news/nsw-workers-compo-set-to-change-128353.aspx | 2016-02-06T00:05:56 | CC-MAIN-2016-07 | 1454701145578.23 | [] | 77 |

STICC maintains collaborative relationships with representatives of the communities most affected by syphilis and appropriate local groups with the goal of eliminating syphilis and other STIs from Texas communities.
Made up of concerned citizens of Houston and Harris County, as well as neighboring counties affected by syphilis. STICC meets 9 times per year, on the fourth Thursday of the month at 12pm.
Meetings are at:
Hiram Clarke Multi-Service Center
3810 West Fuqua
Houston, TX 77045
All meetings are open to the public.
STICC’s activities include:

I am extremely concerned that flash orders have further corrupted an already corrupt market. Allowing the investment houses this exception seems to be highly disadvantageous to smaller investors who cannot take advantage of the two-tiered trading system hidden from public view. Given the incredible amounts of fraud uncovered in the markets recently, to let this continue is a travesty to a free market. I have read that Goldman Sachs acknowledges they will make $8 billion from their trading software this year, and it is incredible to me that they know in advance how much their HFT software will skim from the markets. I would like to see a level playing field for all investors, so that these financial companies can't take advantage of others. I don't understand why these companies get such preferential treatment from the government and SEC when they pay almost no taxes, put the financial health of the country at risk, and skim money from investors using specialized software. | http://www.sec.gov/comments/s7-21-09/s72109-42.htm | 2015-02-27T04:13:48 | CC-MAIN-2015-11 | 1424936460472.17 | [] | 99 |
After previously announcing "Les Miserables" would be the headliner of its upcoming season, Orlando Shakespeare Theater has announced the rest of the shows planned for 2014-15. Among them: The classic "To Kill a Mockingbird" and two Shakespeare offerings, "The Merry Wives of Windsor" and "Henry V."
The New Play Series, which has undergone several permutations in the past few years, has been folded into the theater's Signature Series. But the annual festival of new plays, known as PlayFest, will continue. The theater will also continue its three-show Children's Series.
Variety was a key consideration in the theater's 26th season, said managing director PJ Albert.
"Our patrons have asked us to present Les Misérables for a number of years," Albert said. "holiday treat" is a retelling of Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol," adapted by Jim Helsinger, the theater's artistic director.
The Shakes' annual gala fundraiser will be Sept. 7 at the theater, 812 E. Rollins St., with "Les Miserables" opening the season Sept. 12-Oct. 12. "Les Miz" will feature a live orchestra and cast of 30 actors.
The musical is followed by previously announced "The Best of Enemies," (Oct. 15-Nov. 16) produced with the Holocaust Memorial Resource and Education Center of Florida. Mark St. Germain's play is based on a true story about the unusual relationship between a Ku Klux Klan leader and an African-American civil-rights activist.
Helsinger's adaptation of "A Christmas Carol," the story of Ebenezer's Scrooge's holiday change of heart, runs from Dec. 5-28.
"To Kill a Mockingbird" (Jan. 23-March 8, 2015) is Harper Lee's classic story of justice, racism, courage and compassion told through the eyes of the 6-year-old daughter of small-town lawyer Atticus Fitch.
The two Shakespeare plays run in repertory. "Merry Wives" (Feb. 6-March 7, 2015) is a comedy, complete with Shakespeare's familiar use of mistaken identities and cross-dressing as an impoverished knight simultaneously pursues two wealthy wives with disastrous consequences.
"Henry V" (Feb. 20-March 22) follows the young king of England as he learns what it means to be a leader and a man while trying to repair his broken nation after a bloody civil war.
The final show in the series is Jennifer Hoppe-House's "Bad Dog" (April 10-May 3, 2015). After 10 years of sobriety, Molly Drexler falls off the wagon in this comedic family drama with bite. "Bad Dog" was previously presented at the Shakes as a staged reading in last season's PlayFest. That festival will return Nov. 1-3, with readings of new works.
The 2014-2015 Children's Series includes an updated version of fairy tale "Rapunzel" (June 19-July 27); whirlwind travelogue "The Musical Adventures of Flat Stanley" (Oct. 23-Nov. 23) and an adaptation of Roald Dahl's classic "James and the Giant Peach" (March 19-April 26, 2015).

I would like to begin my comments with a sincere thank you for Crossroads’ expressions of appreciation to myself
and our staff leadership. Your kind words, thoughtful cards, and generous monetary gifts are a sweet blessing. You
will never know just how much each one of those is multiplied by God’s grace for our joy and His glory.
November is seasonally a month in which we emphasize GRATITUDE. So, what is the best way to be grateful?
Gratitude is our response to God’s grace infiltrating every area of our lives. Gratitude eliminates entitlement,
terminates greed, and silences critical spirits. Within gratitude there is contentment, worship, and willing service.
Therefore recognizing and being thankful for all that God is, is best (this is the will of God, 1 Thess. 5:18). Being
grateful brings joy and true joy will always be accompanied by authentic gratitude. Therefore, I have come to the
following conclusions:
I want to live enjoying the world around me for the purpose of the glory of God.
God granted us this world in which we live. It is not perfect; it has wounds, inflicted by the sinful actions of
self-loving humans for ages. However, it is the world that God has given us. We are to enjoy this world, its
beauty, its bounty, its people. Oh, what joy God has granted us to see the awesome effects of His creative
power beneath, around, and above us! Oh, the pleasure to gather around tables of God’s gracious
provision! Oh, the precious people with whom we gather! God help us to enjoy You in each of these
moments. This is best.
I want to be careful to not make my children into idols, by building my life around their interests and activities, but
raise them in a God-centered world learning to love Him and live for others.
God has granted us the great blessing of children. In innocence they bring us undeniable joy. In
adolescence they bring challenges of development and training. In independence there is a new level of
faith growing in both the parent and child. May we treasure these children teaching them the ways of the
Lord: to love Him with all their hearts and to love others without regard for self. This is best.
I want to gladly use resources; my own, my community’s, and the church’s to accomplish these goals of personal
enjoyment and glory for God.
May the investment of all our resources, those that are monetary, those that are relational, those that are
intangible, be for the glory of God the Father of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. May our time and talents
be used up and spent for Him and not for ourselves. May we enjoy every moment spent, every dime
allocated, and every friendship with which we are blessed. It is God’s will that we enjoy Him as we live in
this world for His glory. This is best.
The best way to be grateful is see the world in which I
live as a gift from God, to me, for Himself.
Your Pastor,
Bro. David | https://www.crossroadsbcfamily.org/2014/11/pastors-blog-things-give-thanks/ | 2018-10-15T12:24:31 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509196.33 | [] | 46 |

How is 2015 going for you so far? My hope is that each and every one of you are making the most of this year just past the halfway mark! Is it just me or does each year seem to fly by even faster than the last? It’s a little past the mid year mark but I still want to share my resolutions for the rest of the year. Life is about continual learning and there is always room for improvement whether big or small but the key thing is being honest with yourself upon reflection.
Right now there are 3 areas that I am focused on in terms of my own personal growth and development.
- Effective Time Management
Most of us struggle in this area including myself. Do you ever feel like at the end of your day that even though you were busy for hours that you have little to show for it? I’m not talking about doing simple daily activities or just being busy at your job. My question is, how valuable was each day to you and are you making progress with your “big picture” goals? What did you really get out of it?
Establishing a daily routine to achieve one’s ultimate goals & happiness is essential. Set up a personal schedule – be specific about how and what you spend your time on each day and then periodically measure how you did versus what you set out to get done.
- Declutter / Simplify
Simplifying life starts with getting rid of distractions. Distractions to me now are the “things” that no longer have any value. They might include unnecessary material possessions or desires but also time wasting habits such as TV watching, internet & social media browsing and the list goes on.
By decluttering these things (either in a physical or mental sense) it will certainly help divert my attention back on more important tasks that are truly value added.
- Learn Something New
There seems to be so much to learn that even the most aspirational person would have difficulty fitting it all in within a lifetime. Learning never stops. One of the things I continue to enjoy learning is anything that relates to creativity.
I’m going to take a few photography sessions before the year ends. I love being out in nature and capturing certain moments as things happen in real time with my camera. Learning basic camera skills will benefit my work as well so it’s a win-win really.
I must say however that all of the above mentioned are essentially meaningless unless I follow them almost religiously. I must push myself each & everyday. As the saying goes – compare yourself only to who you were yesterday. Be your own competition. Hope this can motivate you to reach your goals & dreams.

You are so cute. I feel like I have two really strong, definitive senses of style...one of which is also more bohemian, and the other...which is more super-retro-fem. I fluctuate between wanting to wear long & flowing prairie dresses, and peter pan collars and polka dots! : ) So every day is an adventure over here -- what Bridget are you gonna get? ; ) I feel like you're spot-on for the fundamentals of a boho wardrobe -- it's all about layering!
You definitely rock the boho look! I would love to incorporate it into my style more, especially if I could wear it during the week!
SUPER cute outfits!!
Definitely great tips and all are really reasonable I feel.
I like the boho chic look myself, but I don't feel like I personally could pull it off (even if I do have the long, wavy hair). But you wear it well.
I love the idea of "flowy" clothing. Definitely boho, and headbands of course!
Naturally Jes
Love them all!

Happy Thursday Junkies!! Today, I have a springy card to share with you! It actually fits the weather we have been having for a change! It's all fluttery and bright!
I adore this Palettini background image, called Vintage Botanicals Collage! It's so delicate and frilly!
It was the perfect image to combine with the Stained Resist technique from the Artistic Effects CD. You can learn more about this CD and all that it contains, HERE .
To finish off my project, I didn't want to cover up any of the technique piece so, I went with a simple sentiment from Technique Junkies and a sheer ribbon.
I hope you are inspired to get a little inky today!
TTFN, Jane

This is Meg & Patrick. She is gorgeous. He is handsome. They are perfect together.
Their wedding was held at the ever beautiful Church of the Precious Blood in Monmouth Beach, NJ . Adorned with bag pipes and the cutest flower girls and ring bearer ever, there ceremony was nothing short of wonderful. My favorite part of their ceremony was when Meg, Patrick and Meg's two sisters joined hands at the alter. Guh!! So intimate and lovely!!
Their reception was held at the classic Oyster Point in Red Bank, NJ. It was fabulously decorated by Elizabeth Susanna from E.S.Poused Events. She not only made the space incredible she was a huge help throughout Meg & Patrick's entire wedding day!!
Without further to do .. here is Meg & Patrick ... Enjoy!
What a great day! Wishing you both the best of everything... Congratulations!!!

>> stones and jewellery; a growing trend
China’s jewellery consumption is on the rise
According to the Gems & Jewelry Trade Association of China (GAC), the total consumption of jewellery in China exceeded 280 Billion RMB in 2012, and it is expected that the growth will continue through to 2013 with a predicted value of 338.2 Billion RMB. Although gold and diamond jewellery occupies the majority of the Chinese jewellery sector, in recent years the coloured gemstone market has become a rising star.
Diamonds
Diamond consumption in China has been through strong growth over the past 5 to 6 years, according to the Diamond Exchange import statistics, China is now the second largest global market after the USA. In 2011, the total diamond import and export trade value peaked at US$4.7 Billion, with an average annual growth of 40%. Chinese consumption demand decreased in 2012 following the global trend, dropping to US$3.8 Billion. Diamond jewellery imports also decreased by 22% to 1.58 Billion RMB.
Over the last decade the diamond culture has become more accepted in China as the consumer has become more knowledgeable in terms of selection and purchasing. Consequently, the diamond jewellery market is now able to offer greater variety to accommodate this growing demand. Although the majority of consumers still prefer traditional cut stones, there is a growing demand for those that are fancy cut.
Amongst the wealthy consumers, purchasing large stone size’s became a trend, as a way of demonstrate both status and wealth, the bigger the stone the more favoured it is. Over 2 carat stones are popular. A 5-carat ring can be seen being worn on the street, not only in tier one cities, but also tier two and three cities. And in the last 24 months, coloured diamonds have also started to become favoured by wealthy consumers for both investment and consumption. Yellow diamonds are very popular in China, while pinks are also starting to attract attention. Large scale Hong Kongnese jewellery brands have started to launch low-to-medium end coloured diamond jewellery in China, causing a rise in its popularity and price.
Coloured gemstones
Precious coloured stones have always been favored by Chinese wealthy consumers for both collection and consumption purposes. Due to the expensive nature of stones such as ruby’s, sapphire’s, and emerald’s as well as China’s traditional favourite jade, this sector is mostly associated with consumers aged over 40.
However, the market over the past two years has been changing with more international jewellery brands entering China, offering both precious and semi-precious coloured stone jewellery collections and younger wealthy consumers have become the new target for these brands.
China’s coloured gemstone market has the fastest growth rate globally, and with the increasing size of the middle class, the market potential is expected to be enormous. However, consumers have limited knowledge and need more guidance in the selection process, but the high importation tax of over 40% and the lack of quality and pricing standards have put limitations on the market development.
The wedding jewellery market
The wedding market in China continues to provide great growth potential for many sectors from property and interiors&furniture, to white goods, wedding services and of course jewellery. Diamond rings are still the major wedding jewellery choice and this trend will inevitably continue. The love of diamonds has already led to couples upgrading to rings with bigger stones at other occasions, such as anniversaries or the arrival of babies.
Official statistics predict that over the next 10 years, 14 Million new couples in China will marry every year. With the continuous improvement in income, the expected increase in consumption within the whole wedding market is large. The relative market size of affluent couples who could afford to buy a one-carat diamond engagement ring from a luxury brand is estimated to be 2.5 Billion RMB per year.
Collecting and investing in jewellery
With the latest property policy issued in March by the government restricting multiple home ownership, investment has moved into other areas including jewellery, and because gold prices are regarded as high already, and volatile, diamonds are now seen as a better investment option. As a result, large stones and coloured diamonds have already seen their market prices increase. However, the understanding of the investment value and selection of the right stones does not yet provide investors with returns, which is mainly due to the re-sale market being immature; auction house’s and Pawn stores being the two main resale channels. Diamond resale values in pawnshops are as low as 30 or 40%. So to fuel the diamond consumption, more jewellery brands have now started to offer buy back for customers wanting to upgrade.
Starting from early 2013, the diamond consumption and investment boom was triggered across the country. In Hangzhou Tower shopping mall, diamond transactions of over one Million RMB are common. Mr and Mrs Wang who are the owners of fashion company in Zhejiang bought a five carat D grade diamond for 1.5Million RMB in last year, and another two 2 carat diamonds recently. Mrs Wang also said that more and more of her rich friends are buying diamonds for anti-inflationary and appreciation value, some even consider buying diamonds abroad as part of an investment delegation.
Marketing and promotion in the jewellery sector
Media promotion
The Chinese jewellery market has two clear divisions; mass market consumption led by brands from Hong Kong, who started to enter the market in the 1990’s, and premium and luxury international brands, who arrived much later from about 2000 onwards, Cartier being the exception. These Hong Kong brands, such as Chou Tai Fook, Chow Sang Sang and TSL, established a solid and reliable brand image compared to the local Chinese brands. We have selected 9 brands covering all levels of jewellery out of the 20 we routinely monitor to look at their development strategy in China.
Based on our analysis, our 9 jewellery brands have adopted part or parts of the following media channels for brand promotion:
- Print media: focusing on luxury and fashion magazines, business newspapers and magazines, and some local newspapers.
- Online media: Public information sites such as Sina style and QQ fashion; Luxury websites such as Apex and Chinese-luxury, Fashion sites including Onlylady, Yoka, ELLE and Vogue, and video sites such as Tudou, Youku and PPS.
- Outdoor media: in airports, outside luxury department stores and shopping malls.
- TV: the most popularly selected TV stations are CCTV channels 3, 6, 8 and 15, local satellite TV, the fashion & lifestyle channel, Shenzhen satellite, HuNan satellite, and SMG – Channel Young.
To expand quickly through China, mass market brands such as Chow Thai Fook and Chow Sang Sang adopted a franchise model in the main. They have been very aggressive in promotion not only through print media, but also online, TV and outdoor advertising. Although targeting mainly middle market, they have been seen in luxury magazines to improve their brand perception. Compared to the premium and luxury brands, they are both very active on Weibo, each with over 3,000 posts; in particular Chow Tai Fook has over 54,000 active Weibo followers.
For premium and luxury brands, TV advertising is much less used. Cartier is most active in all of the four media channels, with a much higher outdoor investment than their peers. Its outdoor advertising placement frequency is similar to that of the two Hong Kong brands mentioned above. In the period from December to March Cartier’s print media investment was double or treble that of other active brands, such as Bvlgari and Van Cleef&Arpels. Brands such as Cartier, Bvlgari and Tiffany all have high investment in online media, while brands such as Van Cleef&Arpels, Harry Winston and Graff mainly focus on print media.
Marketing
Tiffany was busy adding three new stores in the second half of 2012, in Nanjing, Shanghai and Harbin respectively, and its Diamond Pavilion touring exhibition started in Shenyang in January 2012. It also collaborated with Vogue by loaning jewellery piece’s to celebrities attending the ‘Fashion in Vogue 120’ opening ceremony. In an effort to further develop the wedding market the brand sponsored the highly publicised wedding of Olympic badminton champion, Lin Dan.
Chaumet has added 4 stores to its portfolio, in Shenyang, Tianjin, Wenzhou and Shanghai, at each store opening a celebrity such as Fala Chen, Yao Chen, or its brand ambassador Sophie Marceau were present. In addition to being the title sponsorship of the second Shanghai Debutants Ball, it has worked with over 15 magazines on product photo shoots, it also been actively involved in the Beijing Film festival, loaning products to several celebrities.
Bvlgari opened its first store in Wuxi and Xian, second store in Shenyang in 2012, and in January this year, it re-opened its store in Shanghai’s plaza 66. During this time it also worked with many Chinese celebrities during its promotional events, such as Zhang Jingchu, Angelababy, Ady An, and Zhang Yuqi. Capturing the Year of the Snake in its product design, Bvlgari held an official illumination ceremony of the SERPENTI light, which has now become an iconic photographic opportunity outside plaza 66 in Shanghai.
As a well-established brand in China, Cartier’s marketing effort has less involvement with celebrities, but is more focused on the brand itself. It is the first luxury brand to have launched its own micro film L’Odyssée de Cartier in China, which can be found on its own website and some Chinese video sites. The film has enhanced the brands leading position in the market both in terms of creativity and brand heritage.
By comparison, Van Cleef&Arpels has chosen to work with well-established celebrities such as the ex-bond girl, Michelle Yeoh, and famous actress GongLi. It has chosen to focus on the young consumer market by working with film stars Zhang Jingchu, and Huo Siyan, and by hosting events with ‘brides to be’ in Shanghai and Beijing, to improve its share of the wedding market.
The use of a touring jewellery collection has been adopted by Graff and Harry Winston, rather than working with celebrities.
Store distribution
The graph below shows the current number of stores for the luxury jewellery brands that we currently monitor. The number of stores cannot be directly linked to the period of time in the market, as many brands specifically position themselves as offering limited availability, and hence elevating their status.
The distribution density of the monitored luxury jewellery brands is shown below. The tier one cities of Beijing and Shanghai naturally have the greatest density of both brands with less than 10 stores in total and those with more than this number. However, we can see the brands that use scarcity as a value shown in red, open in the cities where there are a high number of wealthy consumers. As a benchmark, the Hong Kong mass-market jewellery brands will have 200+ stores across the country, which may also include tier four and five cities.

This year's RIMPAC (Rim of the Pacific) maritime military exercises have ended, and any attention we've given the biennial war games will quickly turn elsewhere. But before we let RIMPAC drop from view, it's worth pausing to consider what we've just witnessed (or not witnessed, since most of the RIMPAC takes place out of sight)..
As Obama accomplished something quite real in the Asia-Pacific his administration and the European Union pursued something unreal, announcing new sanctions against individual Russians for their involvement in Russia's strategy to foment discord in Ukraine and keep that nation, which is only a few hundred miles from Moscow, out of NATO. | http://www.huffingtonpost.com/news/asia-pacific-pivot/ | 2015-05-22T10:56:22 | CC-MAIN-2015-22 | 1432207924919.42 | [

Take Time to Pack
Start packing your travel bag a week before your flight. Don’t pack at the last minute because you think you won’t have time to choose your outfits. Give yourself a little time to pack your bag. Make a packing list that you can use every time you fly. Or open your bag a week before your flight date and begin collecting things in your suitcase when you think of them. Dinner, dancing, hiking, and swimming? Plan, plan, plan! If you do, there’s no other way you can over-pack and get hit with those tricky baggage fees. Also, reconsider getting a home baggage scale if you’re a regular over-packer.
Multi-Use Items
Why not carry a dress that converts into a beach cover-up, that turns into a sleeper? It can be done. Bring a plain black shift dress (or another solid neutral color) or a button-down shirt you can dress up or down – they will seem to be several different outfits but will only use a small amount of space. There are also several reversible shorts, pants, and shirts on the market for tourists.
Get a Lightweight Suitcase
Our suitcase is added to the last weight of your baggage, something obvious to forget. If you’re permitted 50 pounds weight in a marked bag, and the bag is already 10 pounds, (no this isn’t a math problem), and you will hardly have 40 pounds left. That’s 20 percent of your baggage allotment now gone! So do your analysis if you’re in the store to buy a new bag. Some brands are claiming lightweight tour bags.
Carry-On Ideas
You may have to pay for your baggage carry-on item on some flights these days, but you yet can travel with a backpack, messenger bag, or carryall bag at no additional cost. There are limitations to sizing on some planes, and it does have to fit under your front seat.
Buy After You Fly
It is one of my flying commandments for emphasizing about overlooking something when I’m flying. Just buy it when you land at your destination. But it also makes sense as a way to avoid luggage fees. I’m not telling you should buy your wintertime coat when you visit or anything hard to purchase.
Enroll in an Airline Credit Card
One exceptional airline credit card perk is they reserve baggage fees if you book your flight with that card. Gift: if you book your companion’s trip, the airline will ordinarily waive that baggage fee as well. But look into that before booking, since all credit cards have various limitations in the fine print.
Ship it
If you have a few fat bags, shipping your baggage pre-travel may be an excellent decision for saving money on additional baggage fees. This decision may take a few more efforts, but in the end, it may be the most cost-effective option when flying with a lot of gear or a large family. | https://www.cheapfareguru.com/fly-away/7-tips-to-avoid-baggage-fees-while-flying-internationally/ | 2022-09-24T19:05:28 | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | 1664030333455.97 | [] | 102 |

Using The Whole Bird: Parts of a Turkey You Didn’t Know You Could Eat
Now that Thanksgiving and Christmas are over, odds are that you think you’ve eaten enough turkey to last a lifetime. Hold that thought though, because maybe you’re selling that ugly, delicious bird short. There is plenty more to a turkey than just its breast, leg and dark meat. No, my friends, welcome to the wonderful world of offal. No, don’t screw up your face, let me take you there…
What is offal?
In this case, I’m referring to the turkey’s neck, heart, gizzards and liver. They’re all delicate treats and there are a variety of ways of preparing them that will make you question why people don’t indulge more readily. Let’s start, as is customary in life, with the neck and this amazing recipe from New Orleans:
Smothered New Orleans Turkey Necks?
This serves 6 people very generously – take note of your appetite and augment if need be!
125ml oil of your choice – I find groundnut particularly good in this recipe
1.8kg turkey necks with their skin removed
1 tbsp sea salt
1 tbsp coarsely ground black pepper
2 tsp ground onion powder
2 tsp garlic powder
240g mushrooms, chopped
300g chopped onion
120g diced celery
120g pepper (red or yellow)
6 cloves of garlic, minced
A hearty handful of fresh parsley, minced
2 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
½ tsp mixed herbs
120g plain flour
80ml sherry
120ml chicken stock
2 bay leaves
1tsp paprika
1kg cooked rice
Preheat the oven to 175 degrees C.
Heat a heavy-duty skillet on the stove, a medium heat should be about right.
Drop in the oil and heat it until almost smoking (this is so you can ‘seal’ the necks)
Whilst the oil heats, generously season the necks with salt, pepper, basil and the ground garlic and onion.
Then, place them carefully in the oil and fry until they are brown on all sides. Then remove them to a cooling rack to drain off the excess oil.
In the same pan, fry the onions, peppers, garlic and mushrooms until they are soft and golden. Then add the parsley, Worcestershire sauce and flour.
Return the necks to the pan and stir, making sure each neck is coated in the vegetable/flour mixture.
Then, add the chicken stock, sherry, bay leaves and paprika.
Mix everything together and then cover the pan and pop it in the preheated oven.
Roast the necks for around 90 minutes, by which time they should have cooked very nicely in their own juices and produced a rich gravy. Check on it occasionally and add sherry or stock as needed.
During this time, you can cook the rice according to the packet instructions.
As soon as they’re done, serve immediately over a bed of rice, making sure to ladle all the lovely gravy over everything. It’s not exactly the most healthy of turkey recipes, but it’s certainly one of the most delicious.
Turkey Liver
This is lovely just served on toast – really! You may have eaten liver before and no enjoyed it, but it’s possible that it wasn’t prepared to its best advantage. Those in the know soak liver in milk a little while before preparing it to remove any traces of blood and to soften the rather robust flavour. All you need to do is soak it for a couple of hours, rinse it under the cold tap and then lightly fry in oil or butter. Give it a go, you may just surprise yourself with this secret chef’s treat.
Turkey Heart & Gizzard
The heart can be, well, the heart of any recipe. Just use your meat grinder and add to any savoury dish for a shot of intense turkey flavour. The gizzard is actually the muscle that birds use instead of teeth to break down food for digestion – if you flash fry the gizzard, searing it all over and add it to any stock, it’ll give a real depth to the recipe. Experiment, play around and be brave – after all, that’s what cooking’s all about!

Poland’s international reserves contracted 2.1% m/m to PLN394.4bn (€94.5bn, $113.3bn) in December, data released by the National Bank of Poland (NBP) showed on January 5. In annual terms, Polish forex reserves fell 17.5% in the last month of 2017.
The monthly fall in December came on the back of reductions across all main segments. The monetary gold reserves fell 0.9% m/m to PLN14.9bn. SDRs fell 1.4% on the month to PLN1.49bn.
Poland’s reserve position in the IMF fell 5.3% m/m to PLN1.85bn. There was also a fall of 2.1% in the foreign exchange reserves segment to a total of PLN376.1bn. In euro and US dollars terms, the reserves also fell m/m in December.
The NBP invests foreign exchange reserves in standard instruments used by central banks. The majority of investments are in government securities, although some volumes are invested in securities issued by international institutions and government agencies. A small part of the foreign exchange reserves is held as deposits at highly rated banks abroad or in gold. | http://www.intellinews.com/polish-foreign-reserves-fall-in-december-134715/?source=poland | 2018-09-18T19:26:06 | CC-MAIN-2018-39 | 1537267155676.21 | [] | 99 |

Author: Nathan Heinicke-Peart
When you decide to go for a sail, race a boat, or go kayaking, tubing, or canoeing, the open-water is a great way to enjoy some relaxation, ease your stress levels, and have some recreation. On the water, time seems to slow down and cares melt away.
At the same time, boating holds its share of challenges and risks. The Coast Guard reported almost 4,500 boating accidents in 2016, with over 700 fatalities and almost 3,000 injuries.In most cases, boaters cannot see what is below the surface of the water, so the depth of the water is unknown. Currents may swirl beneath the surface and submerged objects may pose risks to boaters of all ages and abilities.
Here are some tips to help you take your boat out safely and enjoy your time sailing, paddling or boating.
Research the Weather
When you go out in the open water, check the local weather to see the conditions of the waves, depth, and tides before you leave on your adventure. You can always look at local TV and radio forecasts for this information. Also understand that weather can change rapidly. A sunny and calm morning can turn into a rain storm, rough waves, and darkness in a short time span:
“If you notice darkening clouds, volatile and rough changing winds or sudden drops in temperature, play it safe by getting off the water”.
Have at Least Two People Who Can Navigate the Boat
When you take your boat out for an adventure, most of the people on the boat should know the basics of swimming and boating. If you do not know the basics, make sure that at least two people with you are familiar with all aspects of your boat, kayak, or canoe and general boating and safety.
“If the primary navigator is injured or incapacitated in any way, it’s important to make sure someone else can follow the proper boating safety rules to get everyone else back to shore”.
Always Use Life jackets
The majority of drowning victims that are related to boaters are from not wearing life jackets. To prevent these accidents, all people on the boat MUST wear life jackets or preservers.
“Make sure that your family and friends aren’t part of this statistic by assigning and fitting each member of your onboard team with a life jacket prior to departure”.
When you are in doubt, it is best to wear it, even you are sitting on the boat.
Avoid Alcohol
Boating experts and analysts say that alcohol and boating do not mix well. The driver of the boat should drink no alcohol until the boat is safely moored on shore. Passengers should try to avoid alcohol as well.
“The probability of being involved in a boating accident doubles when alcohol is involved and studies have shown that the effects of alcohol are exacerbated by sun and wind”.
Learn to Swim
Of course, if you’re going to be in and around the water, boating safety includes knowing how to swim. Whatever your age or abilities, consider taking lessons to prepare you for any sort of challenge in the water.
“Local organizations, such as the American Red Cross and others, offer training for all ages and abilities. Check to see what classes are offered in your area”.
Know the Weight Limit of your Boat
When you have a boat, please look at how many people and how much weight you can take on the boat. You should always know how many people can fit on the boat comfortably and safely, and how many pounds your boat can hold.
“Never exceed the weight capacity of your boat and always check your equipment for wear and tear before you paddle”
Always use Caution when on a Tube
Tubing is another fun activity that is popular here in Richmond. However, you do need to be safe with tubes as well. As a tuber, you must always check waves and water levels.
“It’s especially important to travel at slower speeds and keep an extra careful eye out if you are boat tubing with more than one tube”.
Even for advanced tubers, caution is still required. Tubes can flip in high water and rapids, and it is a good idea to go slowly and avoid being carried farther along by currents than you intended. | http://www.swimrichmond.org/blog/tips-to-boating-safety/ | 2019-09-15T15:03:33 | CC-MAIN-2019-39 | 1568514571506.61 | [] | 90 |

We create a unique and memorable experience for bride, groom and every friend and family member in attendance.
Here are a few of our favorite ways to use eucalyptus to make your wedding one you’ll remember forever!
Ways to Use Eucalyptus for Your Wedding
- Arrange it in your bouquet. Eucalyptus adds a soft and beautiful filler to any floral bouquet. Or, opt for a eucalyptus-only bouquet for a simple yet memorable style!
- Use it in a floral crown. Eucalyptus crowns or halos are beautiful for bride, bridesmaids and even flower girls.
- Incorporate in corsages and boutonnieres. Don’t leave out the rest of the bridal party! The groom and his groomsmen will love the simplicity of eucalyptus, and your mother-in-law will love the scent of her corsage!
- Arrange in the centerpieces. Eucalyptus makes a gorgeous centerpiece, especially when paired with succulents, roses, or bright florals! Be sure to mist the centerpieces with our Pure Eucalyptus Oil Mist to enhance the aroma.
- Fashion as a table runner garland. Lay branches of eucalyptus down the table runners as a garland – and don’t forget to spray a few touches of our mist!
- Use a floral wreath as an altar backdrop. Like your bouquet, eucalyptus is beautiful all on its own or when paired with other florals. The design is up to you!
- Give to the flower girl to toss instead of petals. The eucalyptus leaves will add a unique look to your aisle runner.
- Give to guests to toss during your grand exit! Some wedding parties toss bird seed, some light sparklers, but eucalyptus is a sweet and simple way to make your wedding unlike any other.
- Give out mini-bouquets as favors. Guests will love taking home a few branches of eucalyptus. Pair with a tea light candle for a favor they’ll be sure to use and set out in their home.
- Our Pure Eucalyptus Oil Mist in travel size makes the perfect favor for a eucalyptus-themed wedding! Guests will enjoy remembering your special day every time they spray the mist.
Planning on using eucalyptus in your wedding? Don’t forget a bottle of our Pure Eucalyptus Oil Mist to spray throughout your day to create unique and lasting memories!

Right on the heels of news that Joy-Anna Duggar and Austin Forsyth married after all comes another cause for celebration in Arkansas:
Joseph Duggar and Kendra Caldwell got engaged!
The 22-year-old and his 18-year-old fiancee announced their courtship just a few months ago, and just made things even more official.
When he proposed … at Joy-Anna Duggar’s wedding!
People magazine was the first publication to confirm that he popped the question right after his little sister, 19, walked down the aisle.
The pair, who met through their church, confirmed it.
“We are super excited. It’s great to not be courting anymore, now we’re engaged!” Joseph Duggar and his beaming bride-to-be shared.
“I’m so happy and so shocked. There’s so many words I want to say, but just shocked,” says Kendra, while Joseph revealed:
“I was definitely nervous going into it, but I wasn’t afraid that she was going to say no, because she has said, ‘I’m just waiting on you!'”
Not a lot of marriage proposals get turned down in Duggar Nation, it’s true. A courtship, after all, is basically a precursor to an engagement.
When news of Joseph Duggar and Kendra Caldwell courting first surfaced in March, few expected they would not get engaged soon.
We just weren’t expecting quite this soon!
“We are so excited to share the news with others that we are courting,” Joseph said then. “Our families are close friends through church.”
“This has allowed Kendra and me to get to know each other. She’s the best!” Duggar added, and obviously, the feeling was quite mutual.
“I’m looking forward to getting to spend more time with Joseph as we take this exciting step toward a new season in life,” Kendra added.
“It’s a really wonderful moment!”
Counting On Season 4, featuring Joy-Anna and Austin’s wedding, and Joseph asking Kendra’s dad’s permission to court, begins June 12.
Not much of a spoiler to say that the scene teased in the Counting On Season 4 trailer ends up with a positive result for Joe in the end.
As for talk that Joseph got Kendra Caldwell pregnant before marriage and that’s why this is being fast-tracked even by Duggar standards?
It makes for great gossip … but that’s likely all it is. The Duggars stick to their guns when it comes to their dating and courtship rules.
Much as we’d all love a great rebellion story along those lines, we’ll have to be content with mini-scandals like Jinger wearing shorts.
Probably for the best.
At this stage, we still know relatively little about the next Duggar in-law, but as you might expect, she comes from a similar background.
Kendra and her sister Lauren both captured the attention of Counting On fans during Jinger Duggar’s wedding episode last season.
The sisters, along with Joy-Anna’s now-husband Austin Forsyth, all helped assemble a large “V” made out of roses for that wedding.
When that installment aired on TLC, the prevailing wisdom among the fans who watch Counting On online was exactly this scenario:
Joseph Duggar and Kendra Caldwell were secretly courting, or getting to know each other in anticipation of that very strong possibility.
As for part two of the dual-Caldwell courting rumor?
Either Jedidiah or Jeremiah Duggar is rumored to be interested in Lauren, though it remains unclear at press time if that’s legitimate.
Regardless … congrats Joseph and Kendra!!

This prospective interventional case series of 23 eyes of 15 subjects demonstrated that centripetal movement of the ciliary body induced with 2% pilocarpine hydrochloride (OcuCarpine, Samil Pharm. Co., Ltd., Seoul, Korea) significantly improved after cataract extraction. The study's results implicated a lenticular sclerotic component as the cause of decreased accommodation with aging. However, other causes, such as changes in the relationship of the capsular bag equator to the ciliary body or geometric changes in the ciliary body following cataract extraction, could not be ruled out as contributory factors for the apparent increase in ciliary body movement following cataract extraction.
The study's authors used ultrasound bimocroscopy (UBM) to measure the contractility of the ciliary muscle in presbyopic eyes before and 30 minutes after instilling pilocarpine both before and after cataract surgery. The surgery involved phacoemulsification and aspiration through a clear corneal incision, followed by implantation of an AcrySof SA60AT foldable IOL (Alcon Laboratories Inc., Fort Worth, Texas).
UBM performed before cataract extraction after instillation of pilocarpine revealed only subtle movement of the ciliary body, which was not significantly different from the results obtained before pilocarpine administration. But pilocarpine instillation induced significant ciliary body movement, as measured with UBM, after cataract surgery.

Don’t talk to me until I’ve had coffee
The first thing I do in the morning is let out the chickens and clean the coop. Then coffee. Always coffee. River of Dreams is perfect to knit while my brain is absorbing caffeine from the coffee to wake up. Usually, I have Instagram stories playing. I knit about 10-12 rows a day. true too, is i move a little slow in the mornings. So now you can understand why it’s taking so long to finish.
You will remember from previous posts, the pattern River Of Dreams by Lauren Rene, was written in conjunction with the anniversary of LYS Flying Needles. I love that this shawl has a playful mix of colorful stripes throughout. The yarn I’m using was a kit from the shop created for this shawl. It also included an exclusive color, River Of Dreams, there are five colors in all. I’d say I’m about 75% done with my shawl.
Some changes I incorporated
I decided to work a garter stitch border rather just Stockinette as the pattern is written. I knit 10 rows of Garter giving me 5 ridges, then 5 stitches of Garter on each end. It’s my preference that the edges
This shawl has so many stripes. The pattern calls for you to cut the yarn after each stripe. Instead, I’m carrying the yarn up the right-hand side when that yarn color will be used again. When doing this it’s important to ensure you cross your two yarns every other row in order to “catch” the carried yarn. Also, you should NEVER pull the carried yarn tight.
Carrying the yarn up the side will minimize the number of ends I’ll have to weave in, and I hate weaving in ends. If you are working in Stockinette, I recommend slipping the first stitch of each row as this will help hide the carried yarn.
I’m at the point in the pattern that calls for knitting 46 rows in color #1. But I think I might run out of Color #1. Instead of knitting the 46 rows as instructed, I’m working my own series of stripes within the 46 rows. So, I’m mixing up the colors #4, #5 and #1.
Other finished River of Dreams
I have seen two finished shawls. One shawl I saw at Knit Night at Flying Needles. It was knit by a man named Taylor. He knit his shawl using oranges and purples. It turned out really nice.
Another finished shawl I saw was knit by Lauren, the designer of the pattern. She was wearing her finished shawl at the anniversary sale. Lauren knit hers in the same colors that I am knitting mine. As a matter of fact, her shawl is why I picked the colors I did. And as a bonus, the kit had an exclusive color.
Will I ever finish this?
Currently, I’m knitting more on the body of my sweater than my shawl. I have a couple inches until I start the cable section and the underarm gussets. Then it will require more attention. My shawl will return to TV knitting.
Six people have this project entered in on Ravelry, including my own. Three are finished projects, three are works in progress. I intend to finish my shawl, changing the count to four finished and two in progress.
What’s my Time Frame for Finishing
My goal is to finish the River of Dreams shawl by the end of February. This is totally doable. Plus, I can get back to knitting my socks and finish those for March.
Obviously, the January Gansey sweater is intended to be knit within January. This won’t be finished in January unless I really pick up my pace. Better get on that.
Happy Knitting.

So gorgeous! I totally would carry the other color up the side as well! Weaving in all those ends would make me cray cray!!
Beautiful! YoureY motivating me to learn to knit!
Your work is inspiring! Plus you clean the coop daily!?!
Thank you! Yes, I do clean it every day. I have sand on the floor and a poop deck under the roosts. Takes less than 5 minutes including checking the waterers and giving them scratch. You can see the layout in this older post. I will have to do an updated coop tour soon.
This is a captivating design! My knitting is not this advanced yet, but I’m working towards that goal!
No no no! I know you said only takes five minutes to clean up the chicken poop but is that something I would not sign up for. Same reason I don’t have a dog. LOL I get so excited when I see all your wonderful projects because I then get inspired to finish my knitting projects. I miss having you help me in all my Knitting boo-boos but somehow I struggle through with a little help from knitting friends. Happy Knitting and as always I love hearing about life in your neck of the woods.
I’m glad I’m inspiring you. I miss our Monday’s together the most.
You’re so talented!! Can’t wait to see the finished product. | https://kymhretz.com/river-of-dreams/?shared=email&msg=fail | 2019-05-19T10:57:03 | CC-MAIN-2019-22 | 1558232254751.58 | [
