When Rev. Sally Bingham steps up to the pulpit at San Francisco's Grace Cathedral, her mission isn't to save souls, but to save the environment. The Environmental Ministerher official job title is converting Episcopal congregations across the nation to the life of energy conservation.
No institution is better suited to preach clean air, water, and land than the institutions that profess a love of God and God's Creation, Bingham says. There's no place in the New Testament where it says we should use energy-efficient appliances. But everything we know about Jesus says that he identified with the poor and the marginalized and that he loved his neighbor. Global warming is hurting creation at a rapid rate and will soon cause great harm to the developing nations, who are as usual hit harder and sooner than the rest of us. Already we are seeing more severe storms, disease, drought and floods leading to famine and malnutrition.
Along with Steve MacAusland, a video producer from Dedham, Mass., Bingham founded the Episcopal Power and Light ministry, and later spin-off interfaith programs in states ranging from power-strapped California to oil-rich Texas. In California alone, the group persuaded 27 churches to install solar panels and 61 churches to switch to a renewable power company called Green Mountain Energy. By consolidating the purchasing power of the state's churches, EP&L was able to secure green energy at a great price.
Unfortunately, the chain of events surrounding deregulation of the state's power industry forced Green Mountain Energy to pull the plug on their California customers. In turn, churches had no choice but to again power their sacred spaces with fossil fuels. We carry tremendous guilt knowing that we are polluting out neighbor's air every time we turn on the lights. We have been forced into sinful behavior that frightens us. We may end up in a place so hot it will make global warming seem like a cold shower.
Bingham: I am a member of the Episcopal Environmental Network, a national group of people that come together once a year to talk about the issues that the church wants to get involved in. I've been a member of it when the national church first formed this organization It's also kind of a support group for those of us around the country who are feeling pain over the degradation of the environment. We kind of lament and pray and support each other. If you feel like you're the lone person crying in the wilderness, it's important to have a group come together and talk about these things.
A man from Massachusetts, Steve Causland, came on the committee in about 1996. We were on a long hike one day and talking about our committee, and we decided we really wanted to do something to make a difference. So we had to figure out what we saw as the most important issue facing the world today and it was climate change.
So over the next year, he and I founded Episcopal Power and Light (EP&L). I had already founded a 501 (c)(3) called the Regeneration Project, an interfaith ministry to link people of faith with their ecology. I hadn't done anything with this yet I'd been in seminaryso it was just waiting there for a project.
Thompson: What denominations have been working on this?
Bingham: Well, here in California, the California Council of Churches is all the Protestant churches across the board. And then we have a member of the board of rabbis and a member of COEJL, which is Coalition for Environmental Jewish Life, and a fellow down in Los Angeles who is Muslim. So it truly is interfaith. And each one of us has a responsibility to get our constituency on board. We have a congregational covenant which you can download from the Internet. There are all these different areas where you can check off the things your congregation are willing to do. It's targeted at the leadership of the church, whether it be the director of a Presbyterian church or a rabbi of a synagogue, because it asks them to educate their congregation on global warming. I'm in the process now of putting together materials that they'll be able to use to take this education into their congregation.
Thompson: How does your message differ from that of environmentalists who address the issue from a secular point of view?
Bingham: We bring the moral component. We see energy conservation and efficiency as a responsibility for people of faith, as loving one's neighbor. So it comes from the heart rather than the pocketbook. Conserving energy with the consciousness that what you say, someone else might be able to use is putting your faith into action.
Thompson: I like your update of a familiar parable: Harder for a wasteful consumer to get into heaven than an SUV to pass through the eye of a needle. You're preaching some messages that are pretty uncomfortable for people to hear, messages people have heard many times in many forums but not necessarily taken to heart. What do you think it will take to shift thinking away from overconsumption and consumerism?
Bingham: It's true. I think they need to hear the message more than once, but with our ministry we plant those seeds. With our train the trainer program, more people will be able to articulate the message, and I think we'll have a huge impact. The more people out there preaching this kind of thing, the more effect it can have.
Last Sunday was the first time I'd given an environmental sermon at the 11 o'clock service. There was such a positive responseeveryone was clapping at the end that doesn't happen here very often. That told me that people are ready to hear this message. It was affirming to folks who are already beginning to think that way because of what they're reading in the newspaper about energy and global warming. Now they hear this and think Oh my God, the church is with me on this.
We're still on the cutting edge of the ministry. I don't know if there were 400 or 800 people in that congregation on Sunday, but I know that probably half of them are hearing this message for the first time. But they'll hear it again.
And it is such a perfect thing for the church to do. Often what we read in the paper about religious organizations is the bad newssome clergy member who broke his or her vows in one way or another. This is good news about the church. Here we are at the forefront, doing a positive thing that's going to hopefully save the planet.
Thompson: It's one thing to preach to a liberal, environmentally-minded congregation in San Francisco, but how do you see your ministry winning conservative Christians who support Bush's energy policies? Have you done any work in the Bible Belt?
Bingham: One of the interfaith programs is in Texasit isn't founded yet, because we've just started our work, but I have been an advisor to the dioceses of West Texas on renewable energy, and we are planning a launching event there in October. In June I flew into Corpus Christi, Texas, which is the heart of the oil country, and talked to the bishop there about powering their council meeting in February with wind. They haven't agreed to do that yet, but I think they're going to. Green Mountain has already agreed to buy the wind and resell it back to the dioceses council.
The Episcopal Church powered its 15,000-person convention in Denver last July with wind purchased from the border of Wyoming and Colorado. It was the first convention in this country to be powered by renewable energy. Then we challenged the Democratic and Republican conventions to do it; the Democrats did. At the Episcopal convention, the National Renewable Energy lab, which is in Boulder, Colorado, set up a display right next to the EP&L booth. We also a little bucket on our booth and asked everybody to contribute one dollar to the extra cost of wind (it was literally 10 cents per day per person to have wind for the ten-day conference).
The idea blew the general convention. When we got back to our offices, we started getting calls from people all over the country. A woman in Tennessee was so eager to switch to renewable power that she did the research herself and made it happen. Now we're going to Tennessee to do an event there in November, and we're going to Detroit to do the same thing. The reason I was in Texas was that the women down there decided they wanted to power their convention with wind. So it really started something. In Nashville, the first big cathedral there (get name) is buying green power from the Tennessee Valley Association.
Thompson: What has inspired you personally to do this work?
Bingham: I grew up down in Woodside, Calif., which is a pretty rural communityor used to be, before Silicon Valley started building all these huge houses down there. I spent so much time alone in nature that I developed a very strong sense of divine companionship in the wilderness. Then way later in lifeabout 1985, and I was living in New York, and I was a trustee for the Environmental Defense Fund. Every one of board meetings has a presentation by a staff scientist. For 10 years I listened to the threat of global warming, overfishing, dying coral reefs, and deforestation. I just at one point began to think: Where is the religious community in this problem? Why don't we hear the religious voice? These are the people who sit in the pews on Sunday and say they love God and probably deep inside them love what God loves, and therefore love Creation, but they just haven't paid attention.
Thompson: You've preached about the effects of global warming severe storms, disease, drought, floods, famine...Sounds like the Apocalypse.
Bingham: It's interesting that you say that. My 21-year-old son answered the door yesterday, and some Bible-toting folks were out front. He said: You don't have to talk to us because my mother's a priest and she preaches about the environment. Right away the woman started quoting Revelations and the end of the world.
I don't know. I don't pretend to have knowledge of God's intentions. But I'm more hopeful than thinking about the end of the world. Because I think that human hearts can and will change, and that we will stop this destructive way and bring things back together.
Thompson: What obstacles have you faced in this work, and how have you overcome them?
Bingham: The internal ones are relatively minor today. Ten years ago, it was great turmoil, because I felt alone in this work. There were not other clergy who would agree with me on any of this. They thought that I was mixing politics with religionit wasn't seen as something that involved human souls, which was what the church all about. People would say isn't the church about people? Those first few years were very difficult, and this is why I believe that there is so much hope. The change between a few years ago and today is just phenomenal. People are there; they understand the connection between faith and the environment and religion.
I stillbut not anywhere near as oftensometimes meet people who say that global warming isn't real. In fact, yesterday I got an e-mail from someone who heard my Sunday sermon saying that I was wrong in saying that human behavior was causing global warming. He said it was actually being caused by a volcano in Hawaii.
Thompson: How do you respond to that?
Bingham: I haven't, and I'll tell you why. I used to get all wrapped up in one person's view. If there were a hundred people in a room and 99 of them stood up and clapped, and one person said, you're demented, I would go and spend hours with that one person. I just don't do that anymore. I'm sorry they're not better educated, but it isn't worth my time. I may in fact recommend a couple books for this fellow to read, like The Heat is On, by Ross Gelbspanit's a wonderful, very readable book about global warmingor something by Michael Oppenheimer, a scientist and climatologist, who has a lot of good work and a book by Steven Schneider, who's at Stanford. I could put this person in touch with some of this literature and ask them to read about it and then come back and tell me that global warming is happening because of the volcano in Hawaii. If that was the case, I'd probably say, I don't think you know what you're talking about.
Thompson: How do you personally experience God in nature?
Bingham: I ask them to be mindful, really conscious, of every single one of their behaviors. The cups we use, the cars we drive the clothes we buy. I don't condemn people who have the means to buy what they need. But when you buy ten times more than what you need. I live in a neighborhood where the recycling bins are sometimes just shockingin one week the amount of packaging that comes from Saks Fifth Avenue and Wilkes Bashford? You think how can these people possibly wear all these clothes? That's where I draw the line. Now I know there are folks who will say, well if we didn't go in there and buy all these clothes, think of the jobs these people who are selling the clothes wouldn't have, and the people who are making the clothes and on and on and on down the chain. But I think there's plenty to go around in this world for all of our needs. I think wealthy communities have to change their ways.
Thompson: What does the Bible have to say about protecting the environment?
Bingham: As you know, the Bible has lots and lots and lots of stories. I tend to take a metaphorical, not literal, interpretation of the Bible. Throughout Scripture, there are various teachings of restraintnot taking more than you need, loving your neighbor, giving to other people. People often ask me Was Jesus an environmentalist? Jesus identified with marginal people. And probably today he would identify with endangered species and coral reefs and forests, because he identified with pain and suffering, and right now creation is in pain and suffering. So I would go so far to say that if Jesus were here, he would not drive an SUV. He'd be on the White House steps with you. Do you see a relationship between America's spiritual and environmental crises?
In Al Gore's book, The Earth in Balance, he said just thatthe environmental crisis is a spiritual oneand I think it's absolutely true. We've forgotten where we came from. We've forgotten our connection to all Creation. Children walk through the supermarkets and think that the bananas grow right out of the shelves there. Working with my compost, and planting the garden and eating food that comes out of itit's a spiritual experience. It connects you to the land and teaches you the whole cycle of life. We've lost that.
Can we get reconnected to it? I hope so. I think that when we were an agricultural world, it was a lot easier, but being in cities, it's hard to do. I think that some of those summer programs that take teenagers out into the wilderness are probably amazingly life-changing. And I think our parks and national recreational areascity parks and street treesall those things are really important. Everybody should have a backyard. It's very deep inside of us, that connection to the land. But it needs to be awakened. We've gotten so far from the land that something has to reach out and stimulate us.
There are some wonderful teachers now that are starting to teach ecology in schools, and I think the church can play a magnificent role in this. Imagine if Sunday school classes started teaching about the different ways that God made birds' beaks, that they eat the different kinds of seeds because the way their beaks are shapedI think all those kinds of things will help children get the sense that God is bigger than they aresomething that we have to live in awe of.
Thompson: Where do you see this ministry in 10 years?
Bingham: We're getting ready to launch a program out of the Cathedral that's going to be magnificent. Five years from now it will be, I hope, one of the best faith-based programs in the country. We want to have a curriculum that will link theology and ecology for all faith groups and train facilitators from different regions. If we can raise the money and that actually happens, you can imagine we need a bigger budget, we need more people. If it all happens, ten years from now, I see it as a viable ministry coming out of the Cathedral or perhaps the Regeneration Project, which is the home for Episcopal Power and Light will be its own 501 (c)(3) and we'll be teaching this all over the world.
It's hard to say. We've only been in business so to speak for three years. We've tripled our budget. A year ago, nobody was on staffmy partner and I were working for freebut this last year, we've been able to pay ourselves a salary and hire an assistant. We're also looking for an office manager and a development director. So I see this getting huge.
Thompson: Can you leave us with a good quote from the Bible that relates to your work?
Bingham: It's so simple. It's the one I talk about all the time. The first and great commandment is to Love God. The second is like onto it, which is to love your neighbor as yourself. Therein lies this ministryif you love your neighbor, don't pollute your neighbor's air and water. You don't trash something that your neighbor could use. That's really it.

One of the questions I am most commonly posed in the United States is about the way I dress. Why do Muslim women cover themselves from head to toe? Usually I respond to this question with another question: Why does a Christian nun or an orthodox Jewish woman cover herself? Or I simply say, I have not seen a bareheaded picture of Mary in any church, I do it for the very same reason she covers…
There are a great many similarities between the three monotheistic traditions, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. The central goal of the religious journey in these Abrahamic traditions is to acknowledge the Creator and to love Him by obeying His wise and compassionate guidance. A common area where almost all the doctrines of the three traditions are overlapping is unquestionably “morals.” Decency, chastity, modesty, righteousness, and purity are virtues that believers are encouraged and required to struggle to achieve.
When people look at Muslim women who wear a headscarf, usually they only notice the headscarf as being different than Western-style clothing. Many believers who wear a headscarf prefer to use the term “modest dress” since it captures the essence of the practice better. Modest dress is prescribed to both men and women in the Qur’an. The general guidelines include covering certain parts of the body, wearing loose and non-transparent clothing to conceal the silhouette, and to dress in such a way as not to draw attention to one’s self. Modest clothing and covering the body is enjoined for men as well as for women; men are advised to cover at least between the knees and the navel, whereas for women the only parts that can be revealed are the face, hands, and feet. This difference is solely due to the physical nature and attractiveness of the female body, and should not be misinterpreted as gender inequality. Still, most men prefer to cover themselves from head to toe especially during prayer as a sign of respect in the presence of God Almighty.
Nevertheless, some people have a hard time grasping why the hair is so important. First, the hair is only one of the many parts that need to be covered. Second, if hair was not so attractive, women would not spend hours in front of the mirror or spend hundreds of dollars to make their hair pretty! However, the concept of covering in Islam is not restricted to only the headscarf, which would be undermining the meaning and effect of this practice. The underlying principle is to keep your beauty to yourself, your spouse, and those of the same sex, so that you will not be viewed as an “object.” The ultimate goal is to be modest before God and other human beings. Western feminists contend that one of the greatest problems of our age is the reduction of women to mere objects that are valued only for their physical beauty. I must add, though, that in Islam, physical beauty and marital relations are not viewed as a sin or something to be ashamed of. They are a gift of God and we are to enjoy them within the limits prescribed by God.
In the Qur’an, God has commanded believing men and believing women to act in certain ways to avoid indecent interaction with the opposite sex, which has great repercussions for individuals and society in this world and the Hereafter. Islam is a religion of prevention and protection, rather than a religion of punishment. All aspects of Islamic law aim to prevent sin in order to avoid punishment that would otherwise be necessary to ensure perfect justice. (It is also important to point out that in Islam, sin is regarded as a transgression against one’s self or a state of being away from God and acting contrary to our own nature) In other words, God knows His creatures and their weaknesses best and lays down guidelines to keep them from sinning because of His love and mercy for His creatures. Modest dress also has the same logic and nature. God has commanded it in the Qur’an and Prophet Muhammad implemented it in his life and taught it to his followers for sound and compelling reasons.
The practice of wearing modest dress existed in various cultures and religions prior to the advent of Islam. Hence Islam did not invent the covering of one’s hair or modest dress in general. Veiling (I use the term here to refer to wearing a headscarf and not to covering the face as the term “veil” may also connote) was a common practice in the Byzantine Empire during the Hellenistic era and also among the Sassanids of Persia. The veil was a sign of respectability and high status and was used to distinguish noblewomen from slaves and unchaste women who were not allowed to cover their heads. Subsequently, the practice was established in the Judaic and Christian systems 1 and the Arabic peninsula at large (even prior to the advent of Islam).
Judaic doctrines and traditions have emphasized the covering of hair and modest dress throughout history. Rabbinic law forbids the recitation of prayers in the presence of a bareheaded married woman, since it is considered nudity. 2 Jewish women in Europe wore the headscarf until the end of the nineteenth century when the pressures of a secular society triumphed over religion. Today, many Jewish women cover their hair in synagogues, yet only certain sects such as Hasidic Jews continue the practice in everyday life by wearing a wig.
The place of veiling in Christianity is as prevalent as in Judaism. The most obvious sign is the modest dress nuns have been wearing for centuries. Veiling was part of the Christian tradition, not exclusively for nuns: “And Rebekah lifted up her eyes and when she saw Isaac… she took her veil and covered herself” (Genesis 24:65). The Catholic Church had a canon up until the 1950s requiring women to cover their hair inside a church. Certain Christian denominations such as the Amish and the Mennonites still retain a head covering for women.
Likewise, there is a strong connection between clothing, modesty, and morality in Islam. Thus, the concept of modesty extends beyond mere clothing and encompasses austere manners. This ideal code of conduct and modest dress are required from both men and women. There is strong emphasis on the protection of people’s dignity in the Qur’an. (For instance, assaulting someone with words or slander is a grave transgression.) One of the most compelling reasons for modest dress in the Qur’an is modesty and to protect women from molestation. It is not a sign of male superiority or of high status, as was the case in ancient societies.
And tell the believing women that they (also) should restrain their gaze (from looking at the men whom it is lawful for them to marry, and from others’ private parts), and guard their private parts, and that they should not display their charms except that which is revealed of itself; and let them draw their veils over their bosoms, and (tell them) not to display their charms to any save their husbands, or their fathers (and grandfathers and both paternal and maternal uncles), or the fathers of their husbands, or their sons, or the sons of their husbands (both their own and stepsons and grandsons), or their brothers (and foster- and step-brothers), or the sons of their brothers, or the sons of their sisters, or the Muslim women and the women of good conduct with whom they associate, or those their right hands possess, or the male attendants in their service free of sexual desire, or children that are as yet unaware of femininity. Nor should they stamp their feet (i.e. act in such a manner as) to draw attention to their charms (and arouse passion of men). And O believers, turn to God all together in repentance that you may attain true prosperity. (Nur 24:31)
Reasons for wearing modest dress
First and foremost, it is essential to know that “There is no compulsion in religion” (Baqara 2: 256). Faith is a personal matter between a believer and her Creator. Likewise, choosing to put one’s faith into practice is a natural outcome of the believer’s spiritual journey. I decided to start wearing the headscarf after about two years of soul searching.
Despite being raised in a Muslim family and a predominantly Muslim society, I was taken by the numerous positivist philosophies sweeping away the young generations. I did have a vague belief in God that I never really thought about or confirmed in my heart and my mind. Hence, I did not really know what I believed in and why, which made it all the easier to drift away on the currents of disbelief. I cannot thank God enough though for bringing certain seemingly difficult incidents into my life that forced me to question who I was and where I was going.
As a matter of fact, every person is endowed with the inner urge to find meaning in his or her existence. If and when we choose not to shut off these existential questions and try to find satisfying answers, our personal quest for our Creator begins. We are all given numerous faculties, such as our mind, heart, senses, and so forth, that are meant to be used in this quest. By observing the universe and our own continuous creation, we can witness that there is no deity but God, and that He is the Creator of causes and effects simultaneously. This confirmation compels us to heed the message of God (the scriptures) and to read it with an open mind and heart to verify its truth. Once we confirm that the Qur’an is indeed our Creator’s message sent to us personally to inform us of the purpose of our creation, then our worldview is transformed. In a way, the Qur’an is like a manual. It is “our” manual, teaching us how best to use our faculties and our lives. God is telling us why and how He creates us (what our reality is) and what sort of attitude and conduct is in harmony with our creation (our nature, fitrah). If we follow His recommendations, which are glad tidings (bushra), we will be at peace with ourselves and the universe. He also warns us that when we do not follow the instructions in the manual, we may harm ourselves. In other words, we will be unhappy and live in a “hellish” state of mind and heart in this life and the Hereafter. It is ultimately our choice (since we are given free will) to heed and follow this manual or not. Every believer can experience and attest to the truth of the message in their life (or not).
Analyzing the messages in the Qur’an from this paradigm, we may find endless wisdom and mercy in its recommendations. The following is a summary of the many wisdoms and the mercy I see in the prescription of modest dress for all believers who may choose to adopt it in their lives, and this is why I decided to start practicing it:
A. Individual level: Inner peace and harmony
Adhering to the guidelines of Islamic modest dress brings inner peace to the individual for several reasons. Modesty and striving to mold one’s self in Islamic manners helps to discipline our ego which is the main source of personal ills. When I use the term “Islamic.” I am particularly referring to the literal meaning of the word Islam, “submission.” So, a Muslim is someone who tries to submit her free will to the Truth, that is, the truth that we (and everything else around us) are being sustained and created continuously by God, and do not exist independently. Our ego, which is only one of the many faculties we have, is given to us as a tool. By striving to discipline its excessive desires, and channeling them in a positive direction, we transform ourselves for the better. 3 Submitting to the wisdom and compassion of God and obeying His recommendations about how we should dress is only one of many aspects of trust in God. Adhering to modest dress always reminds us that God is Ever-Seeing and that we are constantly in the presence of God. This is the utmost source of inner peace.
As a side note I would like to also add that many women mention that wearing modest dress frees them from the pressures of society to conform to a particular physical type or to fashion. Knowing that they are not being judged as feminine “objects” helps to enhance their self-esteem. When we dress and act modestly, others value us as human beings based on character and intelligence.
B. Family life: Solidarity and peace
The family is considered a vital unit in Islam. A peaceful marriage is essential for many reasons, one of which is the adequate upbringing of children. The break up of families leads to crisis for family members as well as society as a whole. That is why divorce is described as the most disliked of the permissible practices. The practice of modest dress and piety by both husbands and wives may help to maintain the solidarity of the family. Being extremely careful about the way one acts, talks, and dresses around the other sex may serve as a barrier preventing many indecencies from occurring. As I mentioned above, Islam is a religion of prevention (vs. punishment). Therefore, all the ways to temptation are blocked in case we destroy our lives in this world and the Hereafter. Statistics leave no doubt that these incidents are very common in both Western and Eastern societies in this century due to the decay of the role and importance of religion in the face of the rise of materialism.
Thus, the Qur’an and the Prophetic traditions on the matter of modest dress and manners aim to reduce these indecencies and preserve peaceful marriages. Even though many examples of men and women who claim to be pious, yet engage in unlawful acts with the opposite sex, may be cited, the ideal of Islam still proves to be true. God knows that human beings are imperfect creatures and the guidelines are there to set the perfect standards one should struggle to achieve.
C. Social level: Perseverance of society
Islam does not only seek to guide the individual out of the context of her surroundings. The realities of everyday life require human beings to interact with others unceasingly, hence social matters are also addressed in the Qur’an. The modesty of an individual’s dress and manners automatically affect society at large. Indeed, the problems of sexual harassment of women and sexual assault are widespread in our societies. Trying to catch and punish the perpetrators of these offences after the harm is done does not solve the problem. Individuals should reform themselves, learn good morals and values. Only in such a way can the entire society be reformed. When and if women practice ranges of nudity, the society at large is affected negatively. For instance, harmony among married couples and the piety of individuals may deteriorate. This does not mean that only women must watch the way they act and dress, but as the Qur’anic verse 24:30 states, men are obligated to lower their gaze and adopt modest dress and manners as well.
Tell the believing men that they should restrain their gaze (from looking at the women whom it is lawful for them to marry, and from others’ private parts), and guard their private parts and chastity. This is what is purer for them. God is fully aware of all that they do. (Nur 24:30)
Men are first warned to control themselves, and then the required dress for men and women complements the decency of society. Also, to reduce the debate only to the matter of clothing is indeed wrong and misrepresentative of Islam. God is concerned with our inner selves primarily. Thus, modest dress serves its purpose only when it is appropriately complemented by the right morals and manners, and a whole Islamic way of life.

- For instance, the ego falsely claims or wants to be independent. It does not like to recognize authority or feel gratitude. Hence, the challenge is to use the other faculties God has given us (such as our intellect and heart) to discipline our ego and submit our free will to God’s will. In Islam, human beings are not deemed intrinsically evil. We have the potential to be higher than angels or lower than animals. We have been given many faculties as tools to find and stay on the Straight Path.
- Unal, Ali. The Qur’an with Annotated Interpretation in Modern English, NJ: The Light, Inc., 2006.

Last year, I wrote that 2016 turned out to be a lot worse than I expected. And not only because of the election. It was a rough year in many ways.
2017 has been a lot better, thankfully. A better business year, a better personal year, even in spite of all the fears ushered in by this new political era. And while my travels were significantly more dialed down than past years, I felt like my travel itch was fully scratched. I’m especially happy that so many domestic destinations now have budgets for campaigns — a few years ago, it seemed like the only paid work to be had was in Europe.
This year I didn’t go as far as usual — my travels were concentrated in the US, Caribbean, and Europe, though I did travel to seven new countries (St. Kitts and Nevis, Moldova, Ukraine, Belarus, Lithuania, Estonia, and Russia).
These are the moments that brought me the most joy.
Standing above the ghost town of Pripyat, Ukraine
Visiting Chernobyl was one of the most moving experiences I’ve had during my travels. But while visiting Chernobyl and the plant itself was interesting, the most fascinating part of the trip was visiting the ghost town of Pripyat.
In the 31 years since the Chernobyl disaster, the forest has reclaimed the city. Giant trees now push up against every building. It’s so dense, you often don’t realize that you’re right in front of a building until your guide points it out to you.
Then came the grand finale. We climbed eight floors up to the top of an apartment building and looked across the landscape. Only then did we realize how close the buildings were to each other, and we were able to make out the edges of a town.
Only then did everything coalesce for me. This was once an actual town with everything you could possibly need. It was like the place where I grew up. And it was abandoned in the blink of an eye. What an incredible place to visit.

Witnessing the Hemingway Lookalike Contest in Key West
I have a big list of festivals I’ve wanted to experience for years, and one of them is the Hemingway lookalike contest for Hemingway Days in Key West. How hilarious is this? All these men dressed up as Hemingway were so hardcore about it!
This is a serious competition, to become one of the “papas.” Nobody half-assed it — they had elaborate costumes and one-liners. My favorite competitor, a gentleman from Denmark, said that he chose to enter because, “I got off the plane and the immigration officer said, ‘Welcome to Florida, Mr. Hemingway.’”
Hanging out with all those Hemingways in a place as fun and rollicking as Key West? Amazing. I enjoyed that contest so much, I came SO close to spending $1000 out of pocket so I could stay two days longer. Financial sense won out, but I need to return and catch the whole competition.
I even picked out my favorite sexy Hemingway. And no, it wasn’t the one Young Hemingway that was a finalist. Translation: I am old.

Meeting My Feminist Heroes
This past spring I ended up meeting two of my favorite feminist icons within a few days of each other! First, I went to a book reading by Lindy West, whose book Shrill was one of my favorite reads of 2016 (and who is now a New York Times columnist — I’m so thrilled for her!).
Soon after, my friend Amy invited me last-minute to an event promoting reproductive rights and Dr. Willie Parker’s book Life Code. The featured speaker? The legendary Gloria Steinem.
I had to tell her what she meant to me. After the event finished, I went up to her, introduced myself, and told her about the work I was doing to equalize the playing field in the travel blogging industry. “I’m continuing your work,” I told her. “No,” she gently corrected me. “You’re continuing your work and I support you.” How amazing is that?
(Though I have to say that the funniest thing was that Olivia Wilde was there, wearing a mini backpack that was partially unzipped, and Amy zipped it up while saying, “Hey, Olivia, just letting you know your bag’s open and I’m zipping it for you!”)
The Smoothest Arrival in Vilnius, Lithuania
Sometimes the best moments are born out of the worst. Minsk was a struggle for me — it was a large and incomprehensible city with a severe language barrier and almost no wifi. Plus, I nearly had a disaster when I had to get a last-minute flight out when I learned my visa-free terms wouldn’t let me leave by train.
But then I landed in Vilnius and it was all so mellifluous.
I got on actual, working wifi at the airport. I went outside and found a taxi driver. In perfect English, he welcomed me to Lithuania and told me what the estimated cost would be, then assured me he would be using a meter. The ride was smooth; he played great dance music. I got to my apartment rental and let myself in using the key codes, no meetup with the host necessary.
It was late, but I went out for a walk and sat down at an outdoor French cafe, sipping a glass of wine and giggling at the kilted Scottish football fans surrounding me. It was a return to order and beauty that I had been missing for days. All the stress of Belarus melted away in an instant.
Doing Bertie Bots Roulette at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter with Cailin
I love doing Facebook Lives for you guys, but this one was probably the best idea and the funniest result. Bertie Bots Jelly Beans were an invention in the Harry Potter novels that was actually brought to real life! You can get them everywhere, but Cailin and I definitely had to try them at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios in Orlando.
They look like Jelly Belly beans. Some flavors are normal: marshmallow, cinnamon, banana. And some flavors are outlandish: soap, booger, earwax. So what did we do? Bertie Botts Roulette! We would try the flavors without knowing and act accordingly!
Good flavors were a relief; bad flavors were horrific. But I think we held it together until we got the VOMIT flavored beans! We were shrieking, running away, cracking up everyone around us. If I never have a vomit-flavored jelly bean again, it will be too soon.
Hiking with Llamas in Vail, Colorado
This is probably the single best activity I did this year. Colorado is a brilliant destination for hiking, but it gets even better when you get to bring llamas along! Paragon Guides offers a variety of excursions through the mountains surrounding Vail. I went on a guided hike outside the town of Minturn that included a picnic lunch.
We were given two llamas named Kareem and Bailey. Bailey loved to eat blueberries; Kareem actually sneezed in my face, to the laughter of everyone present. Llamas really are sweet animals. They had the softest fur, they were fairly obedient (assuming they weren’t going to town on a mound of grass at the time), and they made beautiful companions on Instagram!
I also want to give a shout-out to my guide Paul, who was incredible kind, friendly, and personable. Having a great guide makes a wonderful tour even better. I felt like I left the tour with a new friend.
Rocking Out at the Air Guitar World Championships in Oulu, Finland
This is another festival I’ve yearned to experience for years, long since before I became a travel blogger. The Air Guitar World Championships take place every August in Oulu, Finland, a small city on the Arctic Circle, and people from around the world compete for the title. When my friends at Visit Finland asked me if I wanted to come back for another summer visit, I immediately asked if I could come for the festival. Wish granted!
People were so creative with their costumes and personalities! From the French goofball who performed to “Foux du Fafa” to the hardcore fifteen-year-old Japanese sumo character, to the women who were rocking out in the male-dominated environment, I enjoyed watching and cheering from the audience!
It’s crazy, but even better than the competition was hanging out with everyone at the after-parties. As you can imagine, the kind of people who compete in air guitar are a bit crazy to begin with, and they were a LOT of fun to party with! I had only slept an hour the night before, but somehow I kept going until 5:00 AM…
Watching Planes Take Off on Maho Beach, St. Maarten
I had always heard that watching planes land just steps from Maho Beach on St. Maarten was a crazy and memorable experience. But this surpassed my expectations. Of course the photo opportunities were excellent — particularly when big KLM planes landed — but it was just a rush to enjoy this unique activity.
Even better was feeling the rush when the planes took off, blasting hot air straight into the beach. It was like the end of the world — a crazy wind tunnel, sand flying everywhere, and the huge noise. I loved it.
There are two things you need to know, though. First, the airport on St. Maarten was severely damaged after Hurricane Irma, as was Maho Beach, so we will have to stay tuned and see if things will be repaired. But before the hurricane, a woman was killed watching planes take off. She was holding on to the fence in front of the pavement. St. Maarten’s police believe this to be the first fatality related to watching the planes, though many people have injured themselves before.
Please be careful. The safest thing to do is to stay out of the planes’ path altogether and just watch and take photos from the nearby cafes. If you do choose to stand in the path, which is still a risk, you should be on the sand, not the pavement.
High-End Coffee in Tallinn, Estonia
My daily coffee break is sacred — both while traveling and on the road. It’s a time for me to pause, reflect, go back into my introvert’s mind, and get a hit of caffeine to refuel me. I’ve discovered so many great coffeeshops on the road, but my favorite was The Living Room in Tallinn.
The Living Room is a cozy cafe just outside the Old Town, which makes it much more of a local place than a tourist place. It’s warm and cozy. They have several different varieties of coffees from around the world, complete with tasting notes. They can prepare the coffee in many different ways. I chose an Ethiopian blend that burst with berry and pepper flavors, and they prepared it in what looked like a beaker on a hot plate! SO good.
I might as well give shout-outs to my favorite new independent coffeeshops from this year: The Blue Cup in Kiev, Peddler Coffee in Philadelphia (get the lavender latte!), Panther Coffee in Miami, Tybean Coffee on Tybee Island, Double D’s in Asheville, Andante in Helsinki, Coffee Fox in Savannah (get the horchata latte!), Artichoke in Bucharest, and Utopia in Minsk.
Getting Glamorous and Hanging with Celebs in Las Vegas
On the first night my three friends and I were together in Las Vegas, we got glammed up with makeup and hair and went to see Ray Romano and David Spade perform stand-up. Why go see that show? The Romanos are close friends of one of my friend’s families (in fact, we first met Ray 15 years ago, right after graduating from high school). Thanks to those connections, we were offered free tickets to the show and got to hang out with both Ray and David in the green room afterward!
I don’t like being starstruck — I like chatting with celebrities as normal people. But after talking to David Spade for a few minutes about regular things, I had to say something — Tommy Boy is my favorite movie. “Oh, and my dad and I must have watched Tommy Boy a hundred times,” I added.
“Thanks,” he replied. “I can’t hear that too many times. And thank your dad, too.”
The Entire Meal at Cúrate in Asheville, North Carolina
I ate extremely well in Asheville — far better than one would expect in a city of its size. But the single best meal was my first one: Cúrate, a Spanish tapas bar that blew my socks off so hard, I swear they were singed afterwards.
I told the waiter to bring me whatever he thought the best dishes were, and boy, did he deliver. Perfect jamon iberico. Crostini with morcilla sausage. Cold almond and garlic soup. Roasted pork and mushrooms that were excellent on their own but positively sang when served together. For dessert, delicately fried eggplant served with rosemary ice cream, and a gin and tonic meringue.
And for booze, it was all about the white vermouth with a twist of lemon. I think I have a new favorite drink.
An Unexpected Boston Sports Booze Cruise in Key West
Cailin and I had a press pass that gave us admission to several different sunset cruises in Key West, so we grabbed some tickets. As we walked onto the boat, I noticed a few things: everyone was already several drinks in, and most of them seemed to be Boston sports fans celebrating the Patriots’ latest Super Bowl win — or, you know, just being typical New Englandahs.
As a Bostonian, I found this hilarious. Oh, my hometown accents. Oh, my hometown sports fandom. I also happened to be wearing my red white and blue dress that matched the Red Sox and Patriots gear! I had to get a picture with everyone, in between toasts to Tom Brady!
They were also a lot of fun and promptly took me and Cailin under their wings. After the cruise, we ended up at an Irish pub (I mean, it’s Boston people — where else would you end up?!) where we entered a Guinness chugging contest. Oh, Key West. You are one crazy place.

Victoria Park, East Belfast (again!)
We had a little time this afternoon to go back for a second look at Victoria Park. There were some children feeding the birds so plenty of them came up to the fence.
Post a Comment
Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a comment, it's lovely to hear from you. Ruth

Well, what are you waiting for a golden invitation? You want a coupon? You want me to come over and force you to look at it? Nah, even when things are had for free, you can't force people to get into it. But a little enticement here and there doesn't hurt. My oldest daughter needs a laptop and ask me to check out the HP's since I have an account. She also needs some MS windows stuff for business purposes. It is sad but I must give her what she wants. I think the investment in hardware and software is too big for my budget. I myself don't have a need for MS products being a home user. I am not under the illusion that MS stuff is the defacto standard. As long as I can read/write MS document standard file types I can get around having to purchase MS products. Alright, what do I have against MS stuff? Cost issues, ownership/license issues, security issues, and then there is the stuff most users don't care about, big corporation market manipulation and domination, political clout, and the spreading of Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt (FUD) about anything not MS. What about Apple? Come on, they are exclusive and high priced. If you want them, you can get them.
I bought an HP desktop, a Pavilion a1030e to be exact. Has a 80gig HD, 512 ram, 64-bit CPU, a CD burner and loaded with XP, MS Works (not Office compatible), the usual MS minimal tools. I could do all of my computing task in a limited way. But needed a serious upgrade if I wanted to get some real work done. Good thing for MS Windows compatible open source software that I could download and install for free. I have enhanced and upgraded my computer for little or no cost and not increased MS coffers. And I have not bought any other professional grade software simply because it was the "standard". I have known many who just had to have Photoshop, MS Office, and others. Imagine buying Photoshop just to have it so you perhaps could work on some family photos or doodle a little. No wonder there are so many pirated copies out there.
What do you get with Linux that makes it so attractive? You have to sit a while, the list is extensive, but I'll just tell you a little. With my small but powerful Wolvix installation (about 460MB), I got the complete Open Office.org suite, 2 email programs, calender, several graphics programs including the Gimp (like Photoshop) and Blender 3D, multimedia stuff, games, utilities, tools, etc, etc, etc. I didn't need to buy anything extra. All the file formats that MS Windows stuff can dish out Linux programs can read/write with the exception of propriety ones. So, for average and personal computing needs you can have it all without straining the wallet or spending all sorts of time downloading freeware. But can you run and play MS Windows stuff in Linux? I guess, but why? You can do it with a program called Wine or Crossover office and you could install MS Windows as a virtual machine in VMware or VirtualBox. But, then Linux is very adequate to replace MS Windows completely. Now you can argue with me about polish and quality and familiarity and what not, but you have to admit, it's pretty darn good for free. If you feel guilty about using free stuff, you can always donate cash to support it. All would be appreciated, I'm sure.
That's all for now folks, I have given you a piece of my mind.

Elected attorney general in November 2010, Schneiderman discovered upon taking office that the Obama administration was avidly promoting a proposed settlement among five mega-lenders… In return.. the feds and the state AGs would grant the banks immunity for not just any further robo-signing misdeeds but for all illegal conduct that had led to the 2008 collapse… the banks would be free and clear of any state or federal prosecution for these offenses. Indeed, with no agency of government able to bring legal action, there would be no serious investigation of whether and how the banks broke the law.
“We have to get accountability,” Schneiderman told me this week. “We have to get substantial relief for homeowners and investors. And we have to get the story told clearly and factually, so the history doesn’t get rewritten. If you listen to the presidential debates, you hear the same supply-side and deregulatory nonsense that got us into this crisis. If we don’t uncover the facts and put them out there, it will happen again.”

In an issue of Genome Biology in January 2018, Van Baak and colleagues analyzed the epigenome of monozygotic versus dizygotic twins. As you can see from the figure which was copied from the OpenAccess journal, dizygotic twins expose divergent methylation patterns in several genes (in red). Most remarkably is this for the DUSP22 gene which codes for a “dual specificity phosphatase”. On the other hand, monozygotic twins (in blue) showed almost no divergence, methylation rate ratio were very close to one, which would be on the diagonal line.
This lead van Baak et el. to look for the origin of this invariable methylation between two individuals. They found this supersimilarity between pairs of monozygotic twins is established at or before the stage when the twins become twins. This was fairly unexpected.
During their search the authors noted that subtelomeric regions are not only important targets for methylations, but at the origin of diseases e.g. tumour later in life.
Since the paper is very technical, it is difficult to read. The fact that monozygotic twins are not only identical in the genome, but extremely similar in their epigenome, too, is worth some labour with the text.

The Power of IT Contracts: Why Your Business Needs Them
In today's digital age, technology plays a crucial role in the success of any business. From streamlining processes to improving customer experience, investing in IT is a must for companies looking to stay competitive. However, with technological advancements come risks and challenges that can be overwhelming for businesses to handle on their own. This is where IT contracts come into play. In this blog, we will discuss the benefits of having IT contracts and why they are essential for your business.
One of the primary benefits of having an IT contract is the cost savings it can provide for your business. Outsourcing your IT services eliminates the need to hire and train an in-house team, saving you time and money. Additionally, with a fixed monthly fee, you have better control over your budget and can avoid unexpected expenses that may arise from technology issues.
Access to Expertise
IT contracts also give businesses access to a team of experts who are well-versed in the latest technologies and best practices. These professionals have years of experience working with different clients and industries, equipped to handle any IT challenge. With their expertise, you can be sure that your company's technology needs are being taken care of efficiently and effectively.
Proactive Maintenance and Support
Technology downtime can be costly for businesses, leading to lost productivity and revenue. With an IT contract in place, you have a dedicated team monitoring your systems around the clock, ensuring that any potential issues are identified and resolved before they become major problems. This proactive approach helps minimize disruptions to your business operations and keeps everything running smoothly.
Every company has unique technology needs based on its industry, size, and goals. With an IT contract, you can customize your services according to these specific requirements rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all solution. This ensures that you are getting the most out of your IT investment and that your technology is tailored to meet your business objectives.
Cybersecurity threats are on the rise, making it crucial for businesses to have robust security measures in place. IT contracts often include security services such as data backup and recovery, network security, and virus protection to protect your company's sensitive information from cyberattacks. With these measures in place, you can have peace of mind knowing that your data is secure and protected.
In conclusion, IT contracts offer numerous benefits for businesses looking to leverage technology to their advantage. From cost savings to expert support and customized solutions, having an IT contract can give your company a competitive edge in today's digital landscape. By outsourcing your IT services, you can focus on running your business while leaving the technical aspects in the hands of professionals. So, if you haven't already, consider investing in an IT contract for your business today.

zyjnych co dziś, nie było także tyle reklam.
Dziś ciężko znaleźć osobę, która nie ma telewizora. Zdarza się nawet, że każdy członek rodziny ma swój własny telewizor w pokoju, co daje wynik nawet 4 telewizorów w jednym domu. Podobna sytuacja jest z samochodami osobowymi - dawniej kiedy ktoś miał telewizor był zaradnym lub zamożnym człowiekiem.
Jak wiadomo nic nie jest wieczne. Elektronika ma to do siebie, że zdarzają się usterki. Samodzielna naprawa elektroniki może narobić więcej szkód, niż pożytku. Od tego jest właśnie serwis rtv. O wiele bardziej ekonomicznym wyborem jest naprawa telewizora, pralki czy lodówki w serwisie, ponieważ nie jest to tani sprzęt. Czasami okazuje się, że drobnostka może sprawiać, że urządzenie gospodarstwa domowego nie działa do końca sprawnie.
Osoby, których zajęciem jest naprawa elektroniki, są w stanie przywrócić funkcjonalność niemalże wszystkich sprzętów elektronicznych, od małych urządzeń kuchennych po systemy sterowania ogrzewaniem, wentylacją i klimatyzacją. Wiele firm na europejskim rynku, takich jak np. serwis rtv oferuje zatrudnienie na bardzo korzystnych warunkach, specjalistom w tej dziedzinie.
Pracodawcy zajmujący się naprawami sprzętu elektronicznego często faworyzują kandydatów posiadających stopnie naukowe, a w niektórych przypadkach certyfikaty zawodowe. Zarówno Stowarzyszenie Techników Elektroników, jak i Międzynarodowe Stowarzyszenie Certyfikowanych Techników Elektroników oferują kilka referencji dla osób zajmujących się naprawami sprzętu elektronicznego.
We współczesności, nie jesteśmy w stanie wyobrazić sobie codziennego życia bez tego, co zapewnia nam elektronika. Czy to w pralce, kuchence indukcyjnej, zamrażarce czy aparacie słuchowym, wszędzie możemy znaleźć elektroniczne komponenty, które upraszczają nasze codzienne życie i bez których nie chcemy się już dziś obejść.
Czy zdarzyło Ci się choć raz kupić jakieś nowe urządzenie, mimomimo że poprzednie jeszcze wcale nie było tak bardzo zużyte? Może zbiła się szybka w smartfonie, a Ty zdecydowałeś, że ta elektronika jest już nic niewarta i musisz kupić nowy telefon? Albo ktoś z twoich znajomych powiedział Ci, że naprawa elektroniki jest dziś zupełnie nieopłacalna i lepiej wydać pieniądze na nowy sprzęt?
Czasem kupno nowego sprzętu może być dobrym wyborem, ale czy na pewno każdy sprzęt z drobną usterką trzeba od razu wyrzucić? Może warto byłoby odszukać najbliższy serwis rtv, zadzwonić i po prostu zapytać ile usługa naprawy tego urządzenia mogłaby kosztować? Może się okazać, że jednak sporo zaoszczędzisz powierzając urządzenie wykwalifikowanemu serwisantowi i na nowo będziesz mógł cieszyć się urządzeniem, do którego już się tak przyzwyczaiłeś.
Mimo że elektronika bardzo szybko się zmienia i na rynku pojawia się coraz to więcej nowych, ciekawych urządzeń, to wciąż dobry serwis rtv jest miejscem, gdzie naprawa elektroniki może ożywić zarówno sprzęt, który nabyliśmy niedawno, jak i stary, zakurzony już, ale jakże ulubiony odbiornik radiowy, który może przywołać niejedne piękne wspomnienia.
Jakie działania obejmuje profesjonalny serwis rtv? Wśród
Nowoczesne technologie pojawiające się zarówno w użytku prywatnym, publicznym i specjalistycznym to coraz mocniej rozwijająca się dziedzina. Korzystanie z tego rodzaju wynalazków wymaga również umiejętności posługiwania się nimi, jak również ich serwisu. Wiele ze sprzętów wymaga częstej naprawy, regeneracji lub kontroli sprawności. Kto zajmuje się tego rodzaju czynnościami? Czym jest serwis rtv? Na czym polega naprawa elektroniki? Jakie działania wykonywane są przez tego rodzaju fachowców?
Coraz bardziej i częściej wykorzystywana elektronika, to urządzenia, które niekiedy ulegają zepsuciu. W sytuacji takiej najlepiej udać się do fachowca, który zregeneruje lub wymieni uszkodzone części. Jakie działania obejmuje profesjonalny serwis rtv?
Wśród najczęściej wykonywanych naprawach znajdują się:
- naprawy podzespołów - komputerów, telewizorów, smartfonów,
- wymiany części elektronicznych,
- diagnostyka i usunięcie problemu urządzeń użytku domowego,
- wymiany wyświetlaczy, ekranów, monitorów,
- wiele innych.

Oh I start to dread this time of year, the summer is over. The last Bank holiday is gone till Christmas.............oh well I will just have to change my colours.
Tina, Karen and Carol all seem very happy with reds, purples and pink, loving the warm colours. Tina picked the Cherry Jam Pot Ribbons to work with, Karen choose Blackcurrant....mmmm my favourite and Carol wanted the Strawberry.
This book Tina created needs no words from me, it tells it's own story.
Tina it is gorgeous, I love it.
Little Tilda all dressed in red with a little red bow - perfect. Oh I do wish I could colour, I know you have tried to help me Tina but to be honest I need more time to practice. I did dabble with painting over the weekend, well face painting - Sydney bought herself a box of paints. I was not very good and she kept on laughing, she was over the moon with my handiwork but all I could see were the faults! I am seeing her today and I am sure she will have her paints with her.
Oh it is that time of year, Christmas is coming. This little stocking is just for me - well it does have a A on the front for Ali. I think the little patch of ribbon is adorable Tina.
Great button detail, thanks Tina. I will only have a small stocking this year Tony, nothing big - maybe something shiny will fit the bill. A girl can dream.
Scrummy, yummy a blackcurrant cupcake. Yes, I like very much, what a perfect picture Karen.
Look at the wavy icing and the hundreds and thousands sprinkled on top.
You all make such wonderful keyrings, there is no way I could put keys on this beauty, it is far to pretty. But it will look fab as a bag charm, looking pretty without the work of having to look after keys. I am awful with keys, I can never find them. My office keys have been taken away from me, I have lost misplaced them twice now. They are safe.......somewhere! Karen your beautiful keyring will have a very good home, hope you enjoyed playing with all the purples?
These little designs amaze me, I wonder where they came from........any idea what it is? It is a corner bookmark, how clever is that Carol.
Another cracking idea from Carol, a taggy card - just think you can change the tag messages to suit the receiver. I think this is a super idea, also ribbons and tags were made for each other!
Sorry I do not know the name of this fairy, but she is covered in Fairy dust to make your day extra special. Great ideas Carol, thanks for creating for us.
Rachie has booked me out today to help plan the exhibtion stand with her.............before I get anywhere near the stand I know the ribbons will not fit........far to many!!!!
I will be back later with the winners of the Friday FREEBIE.

With the reality of high oil prices (and today's announcement that a portion of the Alaska pipeline oil flow is going to be disrupted is likely to increase them ever more), life as we know it is going to change. We are, as President Bush said, "addicted to oil" and it shows up in so many levels of life. Oil is everywhere and in everything!
To say, "life as we know it is going to change" sends a shiver down our back because like any addict, living without the addictive behavior seems, initially at least, as something that's going to be awful. But it is possible, as many addicts discover, that after the addiction, life is actually better! And so, a post-oil addiction life could be wonderful as we discover new ways of living.
When I work with folks with addiction issues, my focus is never on 'giving up the old behavior' as much as it is to focus on 'adding new behaviors'. With our attention focused on what new things we're doing, we don't have as much time to be involved with the old behaviors.
I recall when I was giving up my junk food addiction. Initially, I truly had a panic as I could not imagine how I was going to eat without driving through the drive-thru twice a day! But I dove into learning about good nutrition, trying new foods (and yes, some of them were just awful! Brown rice, like yuck!) and committing to increasing fresh foods on a daily basis. I was so busy doing this that little by little, running through the fast food drive-thru wasn't necessary. No, I didn't go cold turkey, but within the course of a year, I'd added so many new foods, new menus and new learning that it no longer was an issue of giving up the fast food drive-thru, but simply my focus was on a way of life where I added the healthy, whole and vibrant foods my body really wanted.
Now, oil addiction and the massive consumption that's connected to it has led to a lifestyle that is fast-paced, filled with stuff, stuff and more stuff. Big cars, big houses, closets over-flowing and work schedules of 60+ hours a week to support all the stuff our addiction has convinced we need in order to live. Our lifestyles are high stress, we're creating lifestyle illnesses like diabetes, obesity, heart disease which are costing a fortune in healthcare and most important of all is that we've lost connection to our community because we have no time to know our neighbors, protect the environment and live in peace. Ah, the good life is killing us (as would my junk food diet have done if I'd kept eating that over the last 30 years!).
As we contemplate a post oil-addiction lifestyle what shall we add? Instead of driving, working and shopping as the major time consumer that we call 'life', let's add more exercise, more volunteering, more gardening, more community-building, more time with our children, more reading, more discussion groups, more learning how to play a music instrument (which you'll have time to practice!). more walking, more knowing our neighbors, more cooking at home and eating slowly, more eating locally, more time for daily yoga practice, more healthy bodies, more meditation, more singing, more.....life.
This won't happen cold turkey (hopefully it won't come to that!), but little by little, as you spend time adding those behaviors noted above, you'll discover that the old monied/consumption lifestyle has transformed into something else that you like even more. Yes, when I started the transition from junk food--I thought brown rice was yuck! I couldn't imagine how I was going to get over that--but I found if I did a 50/50 split between the old white rice and the new brown rice, it helped me adjust. And sure enough, now I love brown rice as I've adjusted to the firmer chewing and deeper taste that white rice didn't provide.
As you start adding these new behaviors, you will find some things you don't enjoy initially--just stick with it. Give it the time to learn, try new activities and do them consistently over the next six months and I will bet you'll discover a new joy and love in how you live your life that you can't yet imagine. Life without massive consumption is not a boring life--in fact, many people decide it is much more exciting and joyful.

How to use the CG FC200 ecu programmer to read and write EDC17CP44 ECU. It’s from an Audi car. This ECU has some internal damage on the unit but it’s working to be able to read and write.
Here we will read and write this ecu with fc200 on bench mode (when the software subscription expired). See what worked and failed.
Select ECU and check wiring diagram
Run FC200 software
We see the serial, the hardware of the MCU processor
The program already has the ECU clone option if can be cloned directly.
If we want to clone we need to load the original Pflash file but here we don’t want to clone, just want to read the Dflash.
Read and save Dflash
Now read PFlash
It’s reading the the PFlash and it’s work working quite well for this type of ECU.
Click on the Modify VIN option, it is not working as the software has expired, need to renew your subscription to access the server.
Normally if we don’t have a subscription the FC200 will work. you can read and write normally you cannot perform the online functions because your tool ID is not authorized for the server.
Here we want to write the Dflash.
Upload original Dflash
Write Dflash successfully
If we click ECU clone
Load original pflash
FC200 asks to select correction of checksum signature is updated
We will go back and hit Data process
If we go to MEDC17 and theft system
We can load pflash and turn off the MEDC17 IMMO system
Save immo off data
IMMO off with cg fc200 successfully

Viele von euch haben sich sicher schon mal gefragt
*woher kommt der Name Triple*G?
*wie ist Triple*G entstanden?
*wie haben sich die Lehrer kennengelernt?
Fragen über Fragen die ich euch Schritt für Schritt beantworten werde :)
WIE HAT DAS ALLES BEGONNEN?
Diese Story erzähle ich immer wieder gerne, weil sie einfach märchenhaft klingt (ohne jetzt zu übertreiben xD).
Alles fand den Anfang in einem Tanzstudio in Wien. Ich habe dort an der Rezeption gearbeitet und es war gerade Hochsommer (unglaubliche Temperaturen!).
Es war gerade Dienstübergabe und bevor ich meinen Nachmittagsdienst angetreten bin, habe ich nocheinmal einen Rundgang durch das ganze Haus gemacht um zu checken ob alles passt.
Im Fitnessbereich angekommen, hat dort ein junger Typ trainiert. Er ist mir sofort bekannt vorgekommen, jedoch konnte ich ihn nicht wirklich einordnen. Nach einem kurzen Smalltalk, habe ich mich wieder erinnern können. Ich kannte ihn von einer Tanzverstanstaltung, die im Wirr stattgefunden hat. Lustigerweise haben wir sogar Seite an Seite abgetanzt. Und wer war er? STEVO.
Wir haben uns von Anfang an super verstanden. Und aus flüchtigem Sehen im Tanzstudio entwickelte sich langsam aber sicher eine coole Freundschaft.
-- Next question von euch: das klingt ja alles schön und gut (und sehr romantisch auf eine Art und Weise xD) nur, wo bleibt das Tanzen?? --
Keine Sorge Leute, das kommt jetzt ;)
Wie gesagt, haben Stevo und ich uns angefreundet und haben begonnen uns auch so zu treffen. Zum Tanzen. Es war eigentlich recht simpel. Zusammengerufen, in Stadtpark getroffen, Boombox auf die Wiese und losgetanzt! Einfach so! Freestyle pur kann ich nur sagen!
Während wir einmal vom Training eine kleine Pause gemacht haben, haben wir uns über das Tanzen in Wien unterhalten. Wie ist die Szene? Wo kann man was machen? Es wäre doch toll wenn.. - Phrasen sind entstanden. Beim Letzeren möchte ich vorerst mal bleiben.
"Es wäre doch toll wenn wir ein Video machen könnten. Und zwar rufen wir paar Leute zusammen und drehen ein Video in der Stadt. Vielleicht neben dem Stephansdom oder so. Was sagst?"
Stevos Vorschlag war voll interessant und nach kurzem Überlegen, war ich voll dabei.
Paar Tage danach war es schon soweit. Neben Stevo und mir, konnten wir auch JULEZ und Helena (eine Freundin meinerseits) dazu bringen ein Video zu machen. Das Video bestand meist aus Freestyle, Posing und einer Minichoreo die wir an einem Nachmittag direkt neben dem Stephansdom und in der U-Bahn gedreht haben. Seht selbst:
Was sagt ihr dazu? :) Nice right? Dieser Tag war der BEGINN der TRIPLE*G!
Damals hieß die Gruppe aber noch "Cool Crew"
Eure Frage jetzt sicher.. Cool Crew???
Jep, das war damals unser Name, der gerade einmal zwei Wochen gehalten hat xD Warum Cool Crew? Weil wir einfach COOOOOLLL waren :) - und als Nebeninfo: uns ist spontan kein anderer Name eingefallen - o_O
So meine Lieben! Das war Teil 1 der "The Story of Triple*G"-Reihe. Neugierig geworden? :) Schaut regelmäßig in den Blog hinein um Schritt für Schritt zu erfahren wer wir sind!
Next: "The Story of Triple*G (Teil 2) - Das MQ bebt!
Bis dahin, bitte weitertanzen! :)

Bob Barker, who hosted “The Price Is Right” for 35 years, has died, his representative, Roger Neal, told CBS News on Saturday. He was 99.
Barker died at home, Neal said, adding that, “he had a beautiful life.”
Barker appeared on national television for over 50 years. Before his time at the country’s longest-running game show on CBS, he hosted one of the nation’s first televised game shows, “Truth or Consequences,” for nearly 20 years, earning him recognition in the Guinness World Records book as television’s “most durable performer.”
On “Truth or Consequences,” Barker charmed audiences with his quips and plainspoken style. Every December 21, show creator Ralph Edwards and Barker would drink a toast at lunch to celebrate the day in 1956 when Edwards notified Barker – who had no previous television experience – that he was going to become the host. He stayed with the program for 18 years, calling it a “fun show,” during an author chat promoting his memoir at the Google office in Santa Monica, California.
In 1972, Barker began hosting a revival of “The Price Is Right,” which originally aired in the ’50s and ’60s, and he stayed in that position for 35 years. Audience members were enthusiastic about their affable host; some participants asked for kisses, which Barker once obliged by smooching a fan square on the lips while dipping her backward. Another fan told Barker she dreamed he was chasing her in a hayloft.
During his career, Barker was honored with 19 Emmy Awards, 14 as host of “The Price Is Right,” four as the show’s executive producer and a lifetime achievement award. In 2004, Barker was inducted into the Television Academy Hall of Fame.
Robert Barker was born in Darrington, Washington, on Dec. 12, 1923, to Matilda, a schoolteacher, and Byron, an electrical power foreman. He spent most of his childhood on the Rosebud Sioux Reservation in South Dakota and was a citizen of the tribe.
His mother was a schoolteacher and then a county superintendent of schools. Barker’s father died after falling from a utility pole in 1929, and eight years later, his mother remarried and the family moved to Springfield, Missouri.
In high school, at the age of 15, Barker met and fell in love with his future wife, Dorothy Jo Gideon. Their first date was on Nov. 17, 1939, when he took her to see an Ella Fitzgerald concert. Barker said they “were never separated from then on” – until her death in 1981 from lung cancer.
Barker attended Drury College in Springfield, and when World War II started, he joined the Navy as a fighter pilot. After the war ended, he graduated summa cum laude with a degree in economics. The couple tried living in Florida before moving to Los Angeles, where he became the host of his own radio program, “The Bob Barker Show,” before moving to television.
His first – and only – feature film role was for the 1996 Adam Sandler movie “Happy Gilmore,” in which he throws punches at the star. Barker said during an interview that audience members for “The Price Is Right” would ask him about that scene and say, “Can you really beat up Adam Sandler?”
Outside of his storied television career, Barker was a renowned animal activist who once testified before Congress in support of a federal ban against using elephants in traveling shows and for rides.
Barker made headlines for his passionate support of animals during the 1987 Miss USA pageant when he refused to host if contestants wore real furs during the televised event. Producers acquiesced and contestants wore synthetic furs that year, but the following year – after 21 years of hosting – Barker resigned when producers refused to stop giving fur coats as prizes.
Barker gave large endowments ranging from $500,000 to $1 million to the law schools of numerous universities, including Harvard, Duke, Columbia, University of Virginia, Northwestern and UCLA, for the study and support of animal rights law.
In 1995, he started the DJ&T Foundation in honor of his late wife and mother to give to free or low-cost clinics or voucher programs to spay or neuter pets in an effort to control animal overpopulation. After nearly 30 years of donating to clinics and supporting animals, the foundation stopped activity in 2022.
For his final “Price Is Right” show that aired on June 15, 2007, Barker ended his run with his familiar plea: “Help control the pet population. Have your pet spayed or neutered!”

Poddasza chętnie wykorzystujemy jako miejsca aranżacji pomieszczeń o najróżniejszych funkcjach – od garderoby, przez sypialnie i gabinety, po kuchnie oraz łazienki. Funkcjonalność tych przestrzeni zależy jednak w dużej mierze od ich odpowiedniego doświetlenia.
Dobór okien do łazienek i kuchni na poddaszu wymaga zastosowania rozwiązań dostosowanych do panujących w nich specyficznych warunków. W pomieszczeniach o podwyższonym poziomie wilgotności można stosować zarówno okna z PVC, jak i odpowiednio zabezpieczone okna drewniane, choć te drugie mogą w takich warunkach wymagać częstszej konserwacji. Większe znaczenie od zastosowanego materiału ma umiejscowienie okna w taki sposób, aby zminimalizować skraplanie się na jego powierzchni pary – dlatego zaleca się montaż nad grzejnikiem i nie zastawianie go meblami. Zapewni to efektywną cyrkulację powietrza.
Okno wyposażone w dodatkowe akcesoria
W znajdującej się na poddaszu sypialni jednym z priorytetów jest z kolei odpowiednie wyciszenie pomieszczenia, umożliwiające komfortowy i niezakłócony wypoczynek. W związku z tym dobrym rozwiązaniem będą okna dźwiękoszczelne ze szkleniem o wysokiej klasie ochrony przed hałasem. Warto także zadbać o wyposażenie okna w dodatkowe akcesoria, takie jak rolety zewnętrzne i wewnętrzne, umożliwiające zaciemnienie sypialni.
Jak prawidłowo doświetlić poddasze?
Okna w pokojach przeznaczonych do pracy, nauki czy zabawy powinny zapewniać domownikom dopływ maksymalnie dużej ilości światła słonecznego. Pozwala na to między innymi montaż kilku okien w zespoleniu. Można także rozważyć bardziej niestandardowe pomysły, takie jak okna „kolankowe” – połączenie okien połaciowych z oknami fasadowymi. Rozwiązanie to poprawi doświetlenie pomieszczeń i jednocześnie stanie się ciekawym elementem architektury budynku.
Sposób otwierania okna
Duży wpływ na komfort obsługi okien dachowych ma sposób ich otwierania. Modele uchylno-obrotowe, zwane też „klapowymi”, oraz modele wysokoosiowe dzięki osi obrotu umieszczonej w górnej części ramy pozwalają swobodnie wyglądać na zewnątrz. Okna posiadają również możliwość ustawienia skrzydła w tzw. „pozycji do mycia”, dzięki czemu bezpiecznie i łatwo można umyć zewnętrzną szybę.
Niezależnie od rodzaju pomieszczenia, wybierając okna na poddasze należy pamiętać o generalnych zasadach dotyczących ich rozmiarów. – Przyjmuje się, że 1 m² szyby jest w stanie doświetlić od 8 do 12 m² poddasza. Wymiary dostosowujemy także do kąta nachylenia dachu – im jest on mniejszy, tym okno powinno być dłuższe – i odwrotnie.

Whether or not members of Congress have insider knowledge of a business is irrelevant: they certainly have insider knowledge of the government, legislation, and foreign affairs that will impact the stock market and the stocks they own. That’s why members of Congress so often outperform the broad market and why more investors than ever are following their trades. MarketBeat.com has tools to help investors track Congress's most recent and hottest trades, but other tools are available. Investors who want to use an ETF for broad exposure with less hassle may choose one of these aptly ticketed issues.
Democrats Lead the Charge in Technology-Focused Investments
The Subversive Unusual Whales Democratic ETF (BATS: NANC) uses data aggregated by Unusual Whales to produce a portfolio based on the trading of Democratic members of Congress. The ticker symbol NANC is an homage to Nancy Pelosi, among the richest members of Congress with a net worth near $0.250 billion and a prolific trader. She and her fellow Democrats tend to invest heavily in technology stocks, with nine of the top ten portfolio holdings in that sector. The number one is NVIDIA (NASDAQ: NVDA), at more than 10%, followed by Microsoft (NASDAQ), Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOG), and Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN). The single outlier is Disney, a leading consumer name providing deep value to investors in 2024.
Shares of NANC have been up 50% since the ETF's inception and are trending higher, aided by the AI revolution. The latest activity shows the market consolidating near record highs, supported by the long—and short-term EMAs and solid volume. Volume has subsided from the peaks set earlier this year but remains strong and will likely be reinvigorated following the Q3 reporting season.
NVIDIA alone is expected to grow its revenue by 75%, on top of the 200% gain posted last year, and will likely beat the consensus. Since before 2020, NVIDIA has outperformed 100% of the time regarding top- and bottom-line results. Coincidentally, the U.S. government is considering allowing NVIDIA to sell chips to Saudi Arabia so it can build its own AI models, which will be another multi-billion dollar market when opened.
MarketBeat aggregates the ratings of stocks within the Subversive Unusual Whales Democratic ETF. According to its data, the ETF is rated as a Moderate Buy based on nearly 1,100 analysts' reports. The reports cover 50 companies or more than 80% of the NANC portfolio, providing a relatively high conviction level. Trends in stocks like NVIDIA and Microsoft are positive, implying a nearly 10% upside for the ETF at the consensus and a high likelihood of an even higher high.
Republicans Focus on Capital-Returning Stocks for Steady Gains
Republicans are invested in NVIDIA and tech to a lesser degree, with NVIDIA only 5% of the Subversive Unusual Whales Republican ETF (BATS: KRUZ) compared to 12% for NANC. The result is underperformance in the share price, with KRUZ shares up only 25% from its inception and 35% from the low to the high.
However, Republicans' choices include
.The aggregated analyst rating for KRUZ is a Moderate Buy, based on over 925 reports. The group sees KRUZ advancing nearly 5% above the all-time high, leading to higher highs with revisions, but that trend may end soon. Names like JPMorgan have issued profit warnings for Q3 that have already capped gains. However, the top fifty holdings represent only 67% of the portfolio, revealing a more diversified approach than the Democrats, so volatility is likely limited. The critical target for support is near $30.

Image comes from .
Bosses sit at the top and message orders down the pipe.
Would-be kings thrown coins to the crowd, ensuring they never have the means to earn any on their own.
Leaders, however, are conduits. They can only achieve their visions by bridging the gap between individuals and accomplishment.
You don't find leaders at the top. You don't find them at the back. Leaders are always in the thick of things, empowering people to overcome adversity and seize opportunity.
That's why they're leaders.

Enough is enough. Leadership isn't about inane cliches, warm feelings and emoting.
It's about making decisions, often hard ones.
Seas of troubles lapping at our shores? That's kinda cliche.
What about choosing not to make tough decisions, then getting mad when other people step up and do the right thing for you?
Are those acts of leadership?
Leadership most definitely involves emotions, because leadership is about leading people, not doing math.
Anyone can declare war, but not everyone can convince a country to follow them.
Considering the Armed Forces recruitment levels, I'm gonna go out on a limb and say Harper's failed on that one, too.
But on, Sun; we all know that it's not the universe, but market forces, that ensure all things unfold as they should.
Completely different thing though.

Roulette is a casino game in which players place chips or cash on the area of the table that represents their bet. Once all bets have been placed, the croupier halts betting, spins the wheel, and rolls the ball in the opposite direction. The croupier then announces the winning number and collects all losing bets. There are a number of different ways to bet on the game, each with varying odds for winning and payouts for a win. These bets are categorized as inside bets, outside bets, and announced bets.
While some players try to use complex systems to beat roulette, others simply play for fun and do not put much thought into the game. In order to maximize your enjoyment, there are a few simple tips to keep in mind. One of the best is to set a budget for your gambling session. This should be made up of funds that are not needed for other expenses and is designed to allow you to test out various strategies.
It is also recommended to practice your roulette strategy at home before playing in a live casino. This will give you the chance to get used to the game and understand the rules. In addition, you will be able to establish a winning strategy that is best for you. Another tip is to choose a casino that offers free games and demo credits. This way, you can practice your strategy for a while and learn the basics of the game without risking any of your own money.
A popular roulette strategy is the Martingale System, which is an even money bet method that aims to balance out losses and wins over time. With this strategy, you start by choosing an initial bet amount (for example, $5). Each time you lose, you increase your stake by $1 and when you win, you reset the bet size to the initial bet amount.
Using the Martingale System is not recommended for players who want to maximize their wins at a roulette table. While it can increase your chances of winning, the strategy is very risky and could result in you losing a lot of money quickly. In addition, it is not a good idea to rely on this system in casinos where there may be a high volume of players.
Many casinos now have an electronic display at the roulette wheel that shows the last 12 or 18 numbers that have come up. While this can be helpful for players, it does not provide any information about how the wheel is biased or if there is any pattern to its results. In addition, using a history of past numbers does not help as it only predicts what the next red or black will be, and not whether the ball will land in a specific slot.
Although some people like to bet on a specific color or groupings of numbers, this type of betting is not very effective and can actually decrease your profits over the long term. The truth is that if you want to make real money, you need to find a proven roulette strategy that will work for your playing style.

I'm testing out rfid scan feature on M5Dial. I have the blockly code as in the screenshot attached. When I run the code, the very first rfid card scan works fine in reading the content of the card. Recurring rfid card scan takes either 20-50 seconds or just don't get scanned.
And every now and then I get ETIMEDOUT error. I tried a while loop to look for a RFID card presence before reading from address 4. Seems to have helped with timeout error but still seeing significant delays beyond the first scan. Appreciate any help.
Note: The factory default program for M5Dial RFID works very well in scanning UID and displaying without any delays.
I have almost identical code for M5Stick Plus with RFID module attached. I didn't have this issue.

So for those who followed my adventures yesterday with the bag lady shopping cart, the skanky pseudo professor who reeked of alcohol and injured my shin, and my general bad attitude, I am happy to write I had a better day today. It started out much like yesterday at work (as in, I must KILL someone or explode…), but slowly improved through a combination of yoga breathing exercises and my sense of humor. I think my night of relaxation and Dark Shadows movie helped too. Reading all the comments on the post certainly brightened up my day, as did reading everyone else’s (I’ve decided Marvin is quite happily one of the zaniest fellows I’ve ever ‘met’ and am delighted to have made his acquaintance via this blog challenge). So many good tips, interesting articles, great links and overall fun reading material!
By the time I left work, I was in good humor and looking forward to a game of Muni Roulette. Muni Roulette has very simple rules: whatever train comes along first is the one I take and I have to figure out a way to walk home from one of the stops along the route. Today my destination was actually West Portal where I was meeting Dave at 6pm for our Thursday wine tasting at Wine Styles. I wanted as hilly a route as possible (I’m feeling as plump as a force fed piglet these days). I didn’t have my bag lady shopping cart and I DID have my walking shoes (yes, I am one of THOSE women who will put on tennis shoes and socks with my work clothes. Today’s socks were black with the skeletal structure of the feet and shins on ’em) and a new paperback book to read as I walked. I had two hours to get to West Portal. The possibilities were, if not infinite, certainly varied.
The first train was a J. This was doable. I could take it to Noe Valley, wander up into the hills and do the hike up Clipper (at the foot of the hill is a sign warning trucks to use a low grade – steep hill ahead!) and down Portola. It was only a one car train, but without the cart and the crowds of yesterday, it shouldn’t be a problem. As I started to board the train, someone brushed me and boarded ahead of me.
Yes, folks, it was Skanky Professor Man, wearing the same clothes as he’d had on yesterday and still clutching a plastic bottle full of unidentified liquid. Gah!! I jumped back from the door and decided the gods of Muni Roulette would forgive me if I waited for the next train. I had no desire to have my good mood shattered by the sight, smell or sounds of another crazy Muni rat. Especially not one who’d already pissed me off enough to inspire violent daydreams. Not a good thing.
So I took an L train and jumped off at the Castro Street station on Market. I walked up 17th to Stanyan, down Stanyan to Parnassus, from there to 8th Street and then up into this amazing little hilly neighborhood with winding streets and houses that inspire the imagination. Very little of this route is flat and it took me an hour and a half to reach West Portal. During the walk I made friends with an Irish Setter named Maggie (a fine name for an Irish dog) who thought I was more interesting than her owner. I ended up going on a little detour up a hill to keep Maggie from running down into a trafficky area. I was glad I did; I stumbled on this little side street with a series of old stone staircases. One led down onto another curving street and another led up, lined by trees. If you stood at the bottom of this staircase, you could see an old weathered stone house covered with moss through the trees, like something out of a gothic novel. Shades of Dark Shadows and Collinswood! I plan on going back with a camera. I will be using the location in one of my books. It’s the sort of place you just KNOW holds the magic wardrobe or portal to another time and place.
I love walking in this town. You see things you don’t see when you drive and discover little pockets of the past side by side with the present. I get ideas for my writing all the time…and have started using them instead of going ‘oh, yeah, that’s cool’ and forgetting about it.
Come visit me one of these days. I’d love to give you a walking tour of my favorite parts of San Francisco!

Darling brings eleven years of hairdressing experience to her salon and is continually driven by her passion: to make women look and feel fantastic by creating a unique style to mirror their inner beauty. After completing her hair design degree from Tafe Sydney Academy in Australia, Darling apprenticed with celebrity hairdresser Troy Thompson before continuing to work in his salon in Sydney. Given that Australia is a world leader in cutting edge fashion and hair design (and requires substantially more education and training), Darling’s unique experience has afforded her specific techniques and skills that are unmatched by local salons, let alone in the U.S.!
While working as an independent stylist in Newburyport, Darling visited local salons to gain a first-hand experience of the quality of work and the stylists’ degree of passion. Coupled with resounding feedback from local women who were largely unsatisfied with their experience and cut/color, she saw an opportunity to revolutionize the hair industry in Newburyport by opening her own salon.
Darling visualized a modern salon with a friendly, receptive vibe to make her clients feel immediately comfortable. Her approach is different than many; during each new clients’ 20 minute consultation, she will carefully explore lifestyle, personality, daily styling routing, bone structure, skin tone, and eye-color and before crafting a style that will most accurately reflect an individual. Darling is in tune to the latest trends in hairstyling and prides herself on being a familiar, warm, enthusiastic and creative hair stylist who focuses on providing each client with exceptional service. She maintains numerous certifications with Paul Mitchell, GK Hair, Alfaparf Milano, Di Biase Hair.
Darling’s latest career accomplishment has been working with the “Rene Furterer’s Team and top hairstylists in the world back stage for J Mendel at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Fall/ 2014. Darling was also the recipient of the North Shore Magazine “BONS 2014” Editor’s Choice award.

For your participants which have never broke and / or have a Purely natural as well as have accomplished take up, the dealer will use this gap unit card (or cope someone to himself) thereafter hit until finally they have established earnings about 17-21, normally busted. If or not a new Soft-17 is known as a Strike and also Stand alters depending on the Principles in the House. If perhaps the casino dealer closes with a playable 100 %, the dealer would say an individual’s complete, compensate succeeding individuals (with an improved total) and then use losing bets.

Not surprisingly winning individuals include taken out playing chips and had prospect to earn a wager along the second poker hand, practise begins across again.In case that every one participants break through, the car dealer will most likely reveal his pit cartomancy (if the person calls for a particular in the game) after which it should go on to information further up most of the cards.Online gambling establishments usually succeed similarly through lingo of Stay Seller Blackjack.

Over the internet Video clip Black jack is effective much like ground betting house Online video media Blackjack. Little leaguer will probably have a pair cards plus look at dealer’s perforation business card prior to at home decision. Generally if the supplier comes with a Super explaining (much inside ground pastime, which inturn I ought to now have mentioned) little leaguer is going to have the opportunity to look at Insurance plans, or possibly find paid back possibly even income on his own Normal, in cases where as well as one. If you don’t, this online game is trialled similar way. Any Rules in relation to what a Supplier have got to draw so that you can are actually fastened by way of the Guidelines to the special Dinner table from a precise casino. That your particular Car dealership need to success a total for 17 (or lower) is really a Oecumenical Govern together with on line casinos different only with if the latest Seller should Come to or Stand on Soft-17. All else same, it is better meant for golfers when the dealer stands concerning Soft-17.

The situation in Gaul was complicated by the presence of Ariovistus, a German king who had crossed the Rhine at the invitation of the Sequani, to help them in their wars against the Aedui. He gave the neighbouring Gallic tribe's permission to raid Eburones territory. Drapes and Lucterius were only involved in the early states of the siege. Caesar describes the Veneti ships in some detail, and in a way that makes it clear that the Romans had suffered some setbacks at sea before the final battle. This was Caesar's last great stand. "The Six Major Battles of the Gallic Wars." The next threat was the most serious. Caesar had four legions in his massive province, three posted at Aquileia in the north-east of Italy, where there was a threat from the Dacians, and only one was in Transalpine Gaul while Roman politics kept Caesar as close to Rome as he could legitimately reach until mid-March. Even if the Belgae only had half as many men as Caesar reports he would still have been outnumbered by two or three to one. Events in Rome also encouraged them – in the aftermath of the death of the unstable radical politician Clodis the city was in chaos, and the Gauls hoped that this would prevent Caesar from leaving Italy. They provided Caesar with valuable intelligence on his new opponents, including a list of the tribes involved and the number of men they had promised to bring. Although the isolated legion eventually repulsed the attack Galba was forced to retreat out of the Alps and back into the Roman Province. It is clear why the Romans read this so eagerly, and why it helped his popularity in the home front. A student of the Gallic Wars should watch for this quality throughout the books. The Twelve Caesars Suetonius. Caesar’s books were intended as an aid for future historians – that’s why they are officially called Commentaries, and not History of the Gallic War – but the author often leaves out information that historians would have found interesting. The Gauls were defeated, possibly on the Vingeanne River, and were forced to retreat west towards Alesia. His early invasion of Britain to the final siege of Alesia, a great story of Roman arms. Change ), Tensions between North Korea and the United States, Yellow Journalism and the Spanish-American War, http://www.livius.org/caa-can/caesar/caesar_gallic_war00.html>. Web. After a number of Veneti ships had their rigging cut the rest of the fleet attempted to escape, only to be trapped when the wind fell away. While Caesar was dealing with the Atuatuci one legion under P. Crassus made something of a flying visit to the Atlantic coast, at least officially bringing the Veneti, Unelli, Osismii, Curiosolitae, Sesuvii, Aulerci and Rhedones under Roman control. But few can adequately explain why he was a great man. Lv 7. Instead of attacking this single legion the Treveri decided to wait for their German allies to cross the Rhine. Caesar was clearly not satisfied with the results of this first expedition. They then threw a bridge across the river, and crossed over in a single day. Caesar certainly acted as if he believed he was badly outnumbered. With their fighting men scattered across the countryside the Nervii were unable to resist, and were forced to surrender. Furthermore, the Commentaries on the Gallic War have certainly allowed direct contact with the readers so that they can be able to familiarize themselves with multiple characters, and to provide insights to the cause of Caesarâs Gallic Wars. Gergovia was a very strong defensive position, but would probably have fallen in time, but soon after Caesar began his siege it became clear that the Aedui were about to join the revolt. The greatest asset of Caesar's army is its tight discipline. Caesar filled the rest of the year with two spectacular but slightly pointless expeditions outside Gaul. Caesar did not really portray Vercingetorix in a way other than just stating what his part was in the battle. As with the rest of Gaul the Belgae were split into a number of tribes, with the Bellovaci, the Suessiones and the Nervii amongst the most important. Eighteen days later he received a call for help from the Bituriges, who were now being attacked by the Carnutes.

The Concluding Section of the Book: Different Destinies of the Righteous and the Sinners: fresh Objections of the Sinners.
ow, therefore, I swear to you, the righteous, by the glory of the Great and Honoured and Mighty One in dominion, and by His greatness I swear to you:
2. I know a mystery And have read the heavenly tablets, And have seen the holy books, And have found written therein and inscribed regarding them:
3. That all goodness and joy and glory are prepared for them, And written down for the spirits of those who have died in righteousness, And that manifold good shall be given to you in recompense for your labours, And that your lot is abundantly beyond the lot of the living.
4. And the spirits of you who have died in righteousness shall live and rejoice, And their spirits shall not perish, nor their memorial from before the face of the Great One Unto all the generations of the world: wherefore no longer fear their contumely.
5. Woe to you, ye sinners, when ye have died, If ye die in the wealth of your sins, And those who are like you say regarding you: 'Blessed are the sinners: they have seen all their days.
6. And how they have died in prosperity and in wealth, And have not seen tribulation or murder in their life; And they have died in honour, And judgement has not been executed on them during their life."
7. Know ye, that their souls will be made to descend into Sheol And they shall be wretched in their great tribulation.
8. And into darkness and chains and a burning flame where there is grievous judgement shall your spirits enter; And the great judgement shall be for all the generations of the world. Woe to you, for ye shall have no peace.
9. Say not in regard to the righteous and good who are in life: "In our troubled days we have toiled laboriously and experienced every trouble, And met with much evil and been consumed, And have become few and our spirit small.
10. And we have been destroyed and have not found any to help us even with a word: We have been tortured
and destroyed, and not hoped to see life from day to day.
11. We hoped to be the head and have become the tail: We have toiled laboriously and had no satisfaction in our toil; And we have become the food of the sinners and the unrighteous, And they have laid their yoke heavily upon us.
12. They have had dominion over us that hated us †and smote us; And to those that hated us† we have bowed our necks But they pitied us not.
13. We desired to get away from them that we might escape and be at rest, But found no place whereunto we should flee and be safe from them.
14. And are complained to the rulers in our tribulation, And cried out against those who devoured us, But they did not attend to our cries And would not hearken to our voice.
15. And they helped those who robbed us and devoured us and those who made us few; and they concealed their oppression, and they did not remove from us the yoke of those that devoured us and dispersed us and murdered us, and they concealed their murder, and remembered not that they had lifted up their hands against us.

“There are two different Seouls.
One of them exists in American headlines and imaginations. In that Seoul, half of South Korea’s 50 million people are living in constant terror. This Seoul is blanketed by Pyongyang’s nuclear shadow and Washington’s gaseous emissions, caught between a geopolitical rock and a hard place: the bratty obstinacy of a vain, power hungry madman, and Kim Jong-un. In this Seoul, South Koreans are paralyzed, able to do little more than cross their fingers and frightfully cling to the sanity of hope in an increasingly crazy world.
Then there’s the Seoul that actually exists in reality—the Seoul where the fire and fury on everyone’s minds is an oppressive, record-setting heat wave. Alongside unusually high levels of monsoons, the humidity has been brutal, leading to enough air conditioner usage to cause brief power outages. As a result, the big consumer trend of the summer has been handheld battery-powered fans.
In this Seoul, the Korean Baseball Organization is halfway into its regular season. Fans flock to the stadiums, clutching their handheld fans, spilling in and out of subways wearing their team’s jerseys. Smells of soju and beer and fried chicken waft through the subway stations.
The Seoul of actual reality obsesses over a slew of K-pop groups releasing new albums—called “comebacks”—and the most commonly discussed battle is whether Red Velvet’s “Red Flavor,” Exo’s “Koko Bop” or, more recently, Wanna One’s “Energetic” is the top summer single.
Life in Seoul isn’t just normal considering its proximity to North Korea; life in Seoul is normal, period. South Koreans work longer days and more hours than nearly anywhere else in the world, and with the fastest average Internet connection on the planet, it’s only natural that their off-hours are dedicated to the same technological distractions as Americans…”

As ordinary as they look, squirrels are in fact wondrous creatures and their tail is exceptionally useful.
Plenty of animals have distinctive features, such as an elephant’s trunk or a kangaroo’s pouch. It is certainly the tail for squirrels.
Watching the spry movements of a scurry of little squirrels seemingly in defiance of their enormous tails, one realizes that this tail, which could get bigger than the animal’s whole body, was created as a balancing and parachuting organ. Squirrels are all around us, but most of us do not know much about these playful animals.
Squirrels belong to the family Sciuridae, with 278 known species. They have a length of 34-43 cm from the top of the head to the end of the tail and a weight of 250-350 gr. Its furry tail is 14-20 cm long. Having a pregnancy period of 30-40 days, these mammals can give birth to three to seven pups at a time and produce young once or twice a year. They live seven years on average.
Living almost everywhere on earth, squirrels inhabit forests and wooded areas. They do not hibernate but only sleep a lot during extremely cold winter days.
Experts at climbing and jumping, squirrels spend virtually all their time in trees. They can climb up trees very fast and climb down headfirst. They build nests in the forks of branches or spherical dens in the cavities made by woodpeckers. Unlike bird nests, the entrances of squirrel nests, or drays, are at the bottom. To protect the pups from predators, the mother covers the entrance of the dray with grass when she goes out. Squirrels make several nests in an area and furnish them with grass, leaves, or moss.
Squirrels feed on nuts, almonds, walnuts, fungi, acorns, fresh bark, insects, baby birds, and snails. To avoid food shortages on cold winter days, they bury seeds and nuts as a precaution, which is a very wise action. Squirrels cannot sometimes find the seeds they bury. Yet, seeds are not wasted; squirrels’ forgetfulness result in another form of life, as seeds develop and blossom into new trees. Squirrels also have a powerful immune system that can protect them against many poisons. The creatures are created to withstand even the yew, which carries twenty different poisons.
The tail: an organ of precision
Thanks to their tail, squirrels can rarely be hunted, which makes them one of the greatest survivors in the world. If a squirrel is attacked by a reptile such as a snake, its blood pressure rises dramatically. The blood floods into the vessels in the tail and enlarges it. The infrared radiation emitted by the warm blood in the tail makes the furry long tail look like a much larger animal for the predator. The infra-red sensors on the heads of snakes are fine-tuned to the body temperature of animals. The expansion of the tail vessels also helps when the squirrel is attacked by a hawk or a weasel.
A careful route planner
A predator can hardly harm squirrels as long as there are trees and food in its habitat. They are extremely alert to any danger. The position of their eyes in the skull allows them to see every angle and to compute the distance between trees and branches for a safe jump. As they keep jumping, they put all four claws to use, allowing them to land safely on the next branch.
An unswerving helm
As squirrels jump between tree branches, they do not change direction mid-air, which is made possible by their long tails. Squirrels can also use their tails as de facto wings, allowing them to fly considerable distances up to five meters. If scaled to human proportions, the jumping distance of a squirrel would be equal to 36 meters. Their tails which function like a parachute make it an easy flight for squirrels to jump from one branch to another at the top of tall trees and prevent hard landings even from a fall of up to 20 meters. They are also light, and their rear legs are as flexible as a steel spring.
Masters of evasion
Pine martens, wildcats, weasels, and raptors are the enemies of squirrels. The agility of squirrels allows them to evade even the fastest birds of prey like the hawk, which gets distracted because of the squirrel’s erratic movements and quits the chase. There have also been instances when weasels fall from trees when hunting squirrels.
