This past weekend I was de-winterizing my front porch, turning it into something more appropriate for Spring / Summer. When your home has a wrap-around front porch like mine, my childhood dream come true 🙂 🙂 , switching it out seasonally can be a big job. Which is why I tend to only change the main decor items 2 or 3 times a year, depending on the Season. Once for Christmas, once for Fall, and once for Spring / Summer. The front door I might change a bit more often depending on the holiday with wreaths (if I am feeling up for it), but for the most part – that's it. It's a BIG job, one that I love. But I have had to learn a few tricks along the way to make it work.
Some of these tricks include choosing decor that will mesh with numerous seasons, Spring AND Summer. Finding colors that match with my RED home, and securing down all of my decor properly so that it doesn't blow away because I happen to live in a wind tunnel (and nobody likes storing pillows nightly or finding them in your yard the next day).
As I was working on my front porch this past weekend, I realized that one of the things I do regularly might be a cool tip to share. It only take about 5 minutes to do, and saves me months of sanity.
How to keep your outdoor pillows in place || Outdoor pillow DIY.


In the closing verse of the previous chapter Koheles declared that "a man cannot find out the work that is done under the sun" (Koheles 8:17) - "The creatures are unable to fathom the ways of the Holy One blessed be He and understand what is the reward for men's actions under the sun, because they see the wicked succeed while the righteous keep sinking lower" (Rashi).
Yet even though His ways may be incomprehensible, in the opening verse of our present chapter Koheles affirms that "the righteous and the wise and their deeds are in the hand of God". That is to say, there is a special divine providence which governs all those who endeavor to go in God's ways. "He helps them and He judges them in order to benefit them in the end" (Rashi). God does not love or hate one person more than any other even when He helps one more than another in his endeavors to serve Him. Rather, ".all is before them" - i.e. everyone has free will. If there is a difference in the degree of divine assistance apparently given to different people, this is in proportion to the goodness of each person's intentions in his efforts to serve Him (Sforno on v 1).
Notwithstanding the special providence that God extends to those who serve Him, we must confront the fact that "there is one event to the righteous and to the wicked, to the good and pure and to the impure." (verse 2). This is death, which makes no discrimination whatever between one person and another. How to come to terms with this key factor in our existential predicament in this world is the theme of the passage in verses 2-12.
What can be so confusing to us is precisely the fact that even the best of people apparently come to the same bad end as the worst. Thus the midrashic interpretation of verse 2 cites the parallel fates of the righteous Noah and the wicked Pharaoh Necho, both of whom limped; of the good Moses and the pure Aaron on the one hand and the impure Ten Spies on the other, none of whom were permitted to enter the Promised Land; of King Josiah, who sacrificed to God and King Ahab, who did not sacrifice, both of whom were killed by arrows; and of Tzedekiah, who swore and broke his oath, and Samson, who took oaths very seriously (Judges 15:12), both of whom had their eyes gouged out.
As a result, "the heart of the sons of man is full of evil" (verse 3) - "Because they say that there is no retribution against the wicked, but everything is pure chance" (Rashi ad loc.).
But "for him that is joined to all the living there is hope" (verse 4) - "Whoever attaches himself to all the teachings of the Torah so as to acquire the life of the world to come has hope" (Targum). "For as long as he is alive, even if he has been wicked and attached to other wicked people, he can still repent before his death".
"For a living dog is better than a dead lion" (verse 4) - "Nevuzeradan (Nebuchadnezzar's captain, who executed the destruction of the Temple) was a wicked servant but he converted before he died and was thus better off than Nebuchadnezzar his master, who was called a lion (Jer. 4:7), and who died in his wickedness and lies in hell while his servant sits in the Garden of Eden" (Rashi). "When King David died, it was Shabbos, and Solomon sent a message to the sages in the study hall asking what to do because his father's body was lying in the sun and the household dogs were hungry. They replied that the maximum that would be permissible would be to cut up carrion meat to throw to the dogs (to divert them from the body), and the only way the corpse (which was MUKTZEH, not to be touched on Shabbos) could be moved would be if this were done indirectly, as by carrying it together with a loaf of bread or a baby. This was a case where a living dog was better off than the dead 'lion' - David" (Shabbos 30b).
Verse 5 teaches the fundamental article of Torah faith that as long as a person is alive in this world of ASIYAH, action, he can repent, serve God and acquire merits, but after death "they do not have a reward any more" - "There is no possibility for them to fulfill any further commandments in order to receive a reward for their performance" (Metzudas David).
Verse 6: "Also all their love and their hatred and their envy are now long perished." - "After the death of the wicked, there is no further need for them. Their love, hate and envy are already perished from the world, and they have no good share with the righteous in the world to come, nor do they have any benefit from all that is done in this world beneath the sun" (Targum).
On the other hand, verse 7 addresses those who follow the path of righteousness: "Go, eat your bread in joy." (v 7) - "You, the tzaddik, whose good deeds God has already accepted and who will merit the World to Come: go eat your bread in joy" (Rashi). "Solomon said with a prophetic spirit from God: The Master of the World is destined to say to all the Tzaddikim - to each and every one by himself - Go and joyously taste the bread that has been prepared for you in return for the good bread that you gave to the poor and needy when they were hungry, and with a good heart drink the wine that has been hidden away for you in the Garden of Eden in return for the wine that you poured out for the poor and needy when they were thirsty." (Targum).
Thus after death, the destiny of the souls of the righteous is quite different from that of those of the wicked, and it therefore behooves the righteous to do everything in their power to acquire merits as long as they are alive in this world. Therefore - "Let your garments always be white" (verse 8): "Rabbi Yochanan ben Zaccai said: If the verse is talking literally about white garments and good oils, we see how many white garments and good oils the idolaters have! Rather, the verse is talking only about mitzvos and good deeds. Let your garments always be clean of sins, and never let the oil of mitzvos and good deeds be lacking from upon your head" (Shabbos 153a).
"See life with the wife whom you love all the days of your vanity." (verse 9). Our sages interpreted this prescription to "see LIFE" with your wife as a counsel to pursue a worthy occupation in order to make a livelihood, learning from our verse that just as a father has an obligation to help his son to marry, so he must teach him a trade (Kiddushin 30b). "See and understand that you must learn a craft in order to make a living together with your study of the Torah. And if you do so, your share will be life in this world through the livelihood you gain from your craft, and life in the world to come. For toil in both of them - Torah and making a living - causes sin to be forgotten" (Rashi on verse 9).
"Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your strength." (verse 10). In this verse, Koheles drives home the message that "there is no action or reckoning. in She'ol where you are going". After death, it is impossible to take any further ACTION in order to acquire merits to be added to the RECKONING. For the only place of action is this world of ASIYAH. Accordingly, as long as we are alive here, we must apply ourselves with all our strength to the acquisition of merit through mitzvos and good deeds. This is because neither the swift nor the mighty nor the wise nor those of understanding can escape death, which spells the absolute end of the period assigned for action and endeavor (verse 11). Man never knows when his time will come: we are helplessly trapped in this world - like fish in a net or birds in a trap (v 12).
Since the key to our taking advantage of our life in this world to acquire merits lies in CHOCHMAH, Koheles now turns to acclaim the virtues of CHOCHMAH in the closing verses of our present chapter (ch 9 vv 13-18) and opening verses of the next (ch 10 vv 1-4). "Having said above that the wise do not necessarily have bread (v 11), he now goes back to praising wisdom, for even though it may not help to bring in bread, one should not reject it because there is a certain wisdom that is of great importance in this world" (Metzudas David). The "wisdom" to which Koheles refers is not a matter of intellectual brilliance but rather the practical Torah wisdom that enables us to escape the traps of the evil inclination.
"There was a little city and few men within it." (v 14). The allegory of the "little city" is explained in the Talmud: "The 'little city' is man's body. The 'few men' in it are the limbs of the body. The 'great king' who comes against it is the evil inclination, while the 'poor wise man' found there is the good inclination, which saved the city through wisdom, i.e. repentance and good deeds. But 'nobody remembered that poor man', because at the hour when the evil inclination holds sway, nobody remembers the good inclination" (Nedarim 32b). The allegory of the "little city" in this passage harks back to the allegory of the "poor wise boy" who came to rule the country in Koheles 4:13-15.
"Wisdom is better than instruments of war, but one sinner can destroy much good" (v 18) - "A person should always look at himself as if he is half guilty and half worthy, and therefore if he performs a single mitzvah, happy is he because he swings himself into the scale of merit, but if he carries out one sin, woe is he because he swings himself into the scale of guilt. On account of a single sin that a person commits, he may loose many benefits" (Kiddushin 40b).
The opening verses of chapter 10 continue with the praises of wisdom and the disparagement of folly. The same destructive power of folly that was the subject of the last verse of the previous chapter is the theme of verse 1 of our present chapter. "Dead flies cause the perfumer's oil to give off a foul odor" (v 1): "For example in wintertime when flies have no strength and are near death, even if a single one falls into perfumer's oil and gets mixed up in the spices, it makes it give off a foul odor causing a scum with little bubbles to rise to the surface. In the same way a little folly can have more weight than wisdom and honor because it can swing everything into the scale of guilt" (Rashi).
Verse 2: "A wise man's hand inclines to his right hand (CHESSED, expansive kindness, revelation) but a fool's heart is to his left (GEVURAH, strength, constraint, restriction and concealment)". "The heart of the wise is directed to the acquisition of the Torah, which was given from God's right arm, while the heart of fools is bent on the acquisition of wealth, silver and gold" (Targum).
Verse 3: "Even in the way the fool walks his heart is lacking and he tells everyone he is a fool". "The fool thinks that everyone else is stupid, but he does not realize that he is the one who is stupid while others are wise" (Koheles Rabbah). For examples of how fools walk, see M. Python's "Ministry of Silly Walks".
Verse 4: "If the spirit of the ruler rises against you, do not leave your place". "If the spirit of the evil inclination rules in you and attacks you, do not abandon your good place - the good practices you have been following - for the Torah was created as a healing remedy in the world in order to cause many sins to be forgiven and forgotten by God" (Targum).
In verses 5ff Koheles continues his moral discourse on the path of life which the righteous should follow with a bold and candid examination of one of the greatest challenges that this world of mysterious paradoxes presents to our faith in God's justice. "There is an evil that I have seen under the sun - it is LIKE A MISTAKE that went forth from before the Ruler: folly is set in great dignity while the (spiritually) rich sit in a low place" (vv 5-6). Many sincere people are indeed deeply perplexed by the seeming injustice whereby the most unworthy people enjoy glory and splendor while the truly worthy seem to be despised and rejected. It seems all wrong - like some kind of ERROR perpetrated by the Ruler of the world!!! How could this be???
Targum's rendering of verses 6-7 is: "God has given the wicked, insane Edom mighty good fortune and heaven-sent success and his forces are haughty and multitudinous, while the House of Israel are subject to him in exile, and because of their many sins those who were wealthy have become poor and sit in lowliness among the nations. King Solomon said through the spirit of prophecy: I have seen nations that were formerly subject to the House of Israel holding sway and riding horses like governors, while the nation of the House of Israel, their masters, walk like servants on the ground".
While the warning in verse 8 that "he who digs a pit will fall into it" applies to the machinations of any wicked person, Targum's rendering follows on from his application of the previous verses to Israel: "The Attribute of Judgment spoke up and answered: They themselves brought all this upon themselves, for just as when a man digs a pit at the crossroads he is brought there to fall into it, so the nation that transgressed God's decree and attacked the fence of the world will fall into the hand of a wicked king who will bite them like a serpent" (Targum on v 8).
Verse 10: "If the iron is blunt and one does not whet the edge, then one must put in more strength." - "When the people of Israel sin and cause the heavens to become hard as iron so that no rain falls, if that generation does not pray before God the whole world is ruined by famine. But when they repent and gather together and overcome their evil inclination, appointing prayer leaders to beg for mercy before God in heaven, they find favor." (Targum).
Verse 11: "If the serpent bites and cannot be charmed, then there is no advantage in the master of the tongue" - "When fiery serpents are let loose to frighten and harm the world, it is because of the sins of Israel in not engaging in words of Torah uttered in a whisper. Likewise there is no benefit to a person who speaks LASHON HARA (evil speech) because he is destined to burn in the fire of hell" (Targum).
Following further disparagement of those who follow the path of folly in verses 12-15, Koheles continues in verses 16-17 by contrasting the fortune of the land (=Eretz Israel) when under the rule of a king and judges who behave like young lads with its fortune under the rule of those whose might is combined with wisdom and understanding (see Rashi ad loc.). We badly need the latter today.
Verse 18: "By much slothfulness the beams collapse." - "When a person fails to fix a small crack in the roof of the house the entire structure will collapse" (Rashi). Don't leave little flaws to become bigger.
Verse 19: "For laughter they make bread, and wine will bring joy to the living, and money answers over everything" - "For laughter the righteous make bread to feed the hungry poor, and the wine that they pour for the thirsty will be for them for joy in the world to come, and their redemption money will testify to their merit in the world to come in the eyes of all" (Targum).
Verse 20: "Do not curse the king even in your thought." - "Do not anger the King of the world" (Rashi). Do not think that your words and thoughts are not heard and registered! "At the hour when a man sleeps, the body tells the lower soul and the lower soul tells the higher soul, and the higher soul tells the angel and the angel tells the cherub and the cherub tells the master of wings - that is the Saraph - and the Saraph takes the word and tells it before the One Who spoke and brought the world into being" (Koheles Rabbah).

Over 200,000 passengers passed through Cornwall Airport Newquay between May and August this summer, with more than 2,500 requesting additional support within the terminal due to long term illness or disabilities.
With the busy summer season coming to an end, the Airport is planning how we continue to improve our services for passengers requiring special assistance, in conjunction with our Charity of the Year, disAbility Cornwall & Isles of Scilly.
The Airport and the charity have worked together previously on training and improvements to the terminal, so making disAbility Cornwall their chosen charity was an easy decision for staff.
Heather Sturt, Passenger and Customer Services Manager heads up the team dedicated to aiding any passengers who need assistance at any point of their journey through the Airport.
She says: "We are proud to have worked with disAbility Cornwall over the years, so any chance that we have to give something back is welcomed. Working with the charity most recently on training for passengers with hidden disabilities, we are now able to ensure that our staff are more aware of customers with conditions that may not be visible at first glance, such as diabetes, autism or epilepsy.
The charity has also made several suggestions for the improvement of the terminal, including virtual tours for anyone who may be anxious about the flying process, better signage for those with limited vision, screens for passengers with hearing impairment and a Changing Places suite for anyone who may require this facility.
Managing Director Al Titterington comments: "We are pleased to work with disAbility Cornwall on improved access to our facilities here at the Airport so are therefore delighted to have them as our Charity of the Year. We hope that this recognition will continue to raise the profile of such a deserving user-led organisation.

Amid all the controversy over lack of diversity at the Oscars, where no black actors were nominated, Russell Simmons is launching his own awards ceremony days before the Hollywood extravaganza.
His All Def Movie Awards will take place blocks from the Oscars — at the TCL Chinese Theatre — on Feb. 24 with Tony Rock, Chris Rock's younger brother, hosting.
More unorthodox categories include Best Bad Muh F - - ka, Best Helpful White Person and Best Black Survivor in a Movie.
Lee and Smith said they'll boycott the Oscars.


Im trying to arrange a visit to the Aprilia factory in Noale, read Jon Urry's article, but it didnt really give any details on entry fees, opening times, specific location (as there's two sites) or even if its open to the public. Is it strictly only open to journalists?
ps Already tried contacting Mr Urry but no luck yet!


Ask TaxGuru » Corporations » Multistate Tax Issues » Kansas » Does Kansas State accept the federal extension for corporations?
Yes, Kansas State does accept the Federal Corporate Extension provided a corporation has filed a timely federal form 7004 with the IRS for an extension of time.
Kansas requires a copy of that form to be attached with a completed K-120 Kansas Corporation tax return to automatically receive a six-month extension to file your Kansas return. As such, Kansas State does not have a separate extension request form.
If a corporation is entitled to a tax refund, an extension is not required to file the return after the original due date.
To pay the balance due for an extension, a corporation is required to use the voucher K-120V and check the box indicating an extension payment, and not paying this balance will result in possible penalties and interest.


Harvey v Bamforth, Sheffield County Court, Estates Gazette, 23 Aug, 2008, pg 22.
The introduction of the Tenancy Deposit Scheme ("TDS") was one of the more positive reforms to housing law in recent years. It has previously been discussed by NL here and here, by Housed here and here and by Landlord Law here, all of which are worth a read and, helpfully, save me from having to say much about the scheme.
In the Harvey case, it appears that the landlord had taken a deposit and had placed it in one of the prescribed schemes, but had failed to provide the prescribed paperwork to the tenant, detailing where the deposit was held, etc. The District Judge found this to be a breach of TDS provisions and awarded the mandatory damages of 3 times the value of the deposit. The landlord had, however, provided the relevant paperwork once the tenant issued proceedings.
The landlord appealed to the Circuit Judge (HHJ Bullimore), who reversed the decision of the District Judge. As best as I can tell, the Circuit Judge took the view that provision of the prescribed information at any stage prior to the hearing was sufficient to comply with the requirements of the TDS and, hence, that no damages were payable.
The landlord was funded by the Residential Landlords Association, whose press release can be found here. I've written to the RLA to see if there is a transcript but we here at the NL team would be very interested to hear from anyone who was involved with this case.
I must admit that my reading of the press release was that the deposit scheme submission and statutory information were put in place by he landlord before the tenant's claim was issued. But I could well be wrong. So that what the appeal to a CJ suggests is just that late compliance, at least pre-issue, avoids the mandatory award. But it isn't clear, so further information is certainly welcome.
More information would be very welcome!
The press release is as confusing as the legislation. I don't really understand why possession proceedings were mentioned!
I suppose because the landlord shouldn't have been able to serve a valid s.21 notice while the deposit wasn't protected and notification given. But maybe it wasn't a s.21. Who knows.
Though they refer to "Bullimore J" who is probably His Honour Judge Bullimore.
I do dislike the importance that people place on county court decisions. There are enough wonky High Court decisions without us having to take into account county court decisions as well.
@Francis Davey: Thanks, that makes things a bit clearer. It looks like the only issue was whether compliance (with deposit or provision of statutory info) pre-issue of the tenant's claim/application meant the mandatory award did not apply. I'm not surprised that the finding was that it doesn't.
What isn't clear is whether the possession claim in which all this came up was based on an s.21. If it was, surely a strikeout application was in order?
As for the County Court – sure an authoritative judgment would be nice, but County Court is all we've got on an issue affecting many thousands of tenants.
I guess it was a section 8 notice with whatever rent unpaid grounds.
Wonder what happened with costs.
This is an interesting case. There are several issues here which differ from other cases.In this instance the landlord/agent had registered the deposit within the timescale. What had not happened was the notification to the tenant. In other cases the landlord/agent attempted to protect the deposit when a dispute had arisen. As has been said it would also appeaer to be a Section 8 not a Section 21 Action. It would appear certainly appear that a landlord could be taking a huge risk relying on this decision. Protect it and advise the tenant still has to be the safest answer.
I agree with everyone that we need more information about how this legislation works. I have several customers who are using my kit 2 to bring a compensation claim for the 'fine' of 3 x the deposit money. It is not clear whether their landlords will be able to defeat their claim by paying the money into a scheme and notifiying the tenant after the issue of proceedings.
It is all highly unsatisfactory. I would not have thought that Parliament would have intended landlords to be able to defeat claims in this way, otherwise many landlords will routinely fail to protect, and just do so if their tenants issue proceedings!
I have been promised a transcript very shortly. Once it arrives, the NL team will be able to answer all your questions. Or, at least, all the ones relevant to this case.
Greetings from a tropical island.
@J: Just let it go and relax! I'm sure there will be plenty to come back to.
This case is mentioned by Mark Loveday in his Bricks and Mortar column in The Times today.
The only other report I've found is Stankova v Glassonbury Legal Action June 2008 p31. Unfortunately it is not clear whether there had been late compliance by the LL to enable service of s.21 notice. If there had been then this is the opposite view to H v B albeit at DJ level.
As I recall, there was no compliance in Stankova pre-hearing. The validity of the s.21 was not tested because the tenant had left after receiving it.
I have a case where the tenant's deposit was overlooked by the client. Client (a landowner with a significant portfolio) was with TDS and subsequently found that he could not protect it that way – apparently TDS will only accept deposits within 14 days of the tenancy. The client paid it into the Statutory scheme DPS immediately this failure was brought to his attention. We confirmed this to the tenant prior to the tenant issuing proceedings, even printing out a copy of the DPS certificate and sending it to Tenant. Tenant has now sued and I am applying to strike out the claim.
Are you the same Simon Parrott involved in a case in Bedford County Court on 28 October 2008 to do with the TDS, which you won. If it is would be most grateful for a copy of the transcript, as have been searching fruitlessly for ages.
@Simon Parrott: I've sent an email.
Hello, Message to NL, could you also provide me with a copy of the judgement or advise where I can obtain one. This information is uregently required as I have a similar situation to deal with.

5 Local Songs About Police Brutality
Everyone from Third Eye Blind to Mistah F.A.B. has penned tracks about the issue.
Jessie Schiewe
Thu Dec 1st, 2016 2:08pm
All Shook DownLists
The great thing about music is that it can turn serious and depressing topics — like police brutality and the killing of innocent Black people — into beautiful, and sometimes even catchy, songs.
Here, we've rounded up five tracks from local Bay Area artists and bands that address these topics and pay homage to those who have died.
1. "Officer Don't Shoot" by J. Stalin
The bouncy, synth-riddled production of this catchy single by West Oakland rapper J. Stalin belies the serious nature of its lyrics. In it, Stalin gives shoutouts to the many Black lives that have been slain by police, including Philando Castile, Michael Brown, Oscar Grant, John Crawford, and Sandra Bland, and he also mentions the 2015 shootings at the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, South Carolina. But it's the song's hook, which goes, "Officer, I got my hands up. Please don't shoot," that really brings home the message of this track.
Memorable Lyrics: "Serve and protect / But they've been knocking us off lately."
2. "Running Man" by Rexx Life Raj
Though the bulk of this song by Berkeley rapper Rexx Life Raj is about making moves in life, and not just fronting — "I'm not fooled by the game face," he sings in the chorus. "You niggas still in the same place" — the end of it addresses the racial disparities and the targeting of Black people that is such a pronounced problem in our country. Raj speaks from the heart in this track, candidly expressing his feelings about the numerous deaths and police shootings that have been making headlines far too frequently of late.
Memorable Lyrics: "Black lives lay on the curb/ They say we matter, that's only words/ Watch us swimming in pools of blood/ While the world seems undisturbed."
3. "Cops vs. Phone Girl" by Third Eye Blind
This San Francisco band, and especially its leadman Stephan Jenkins, have long been known to be politically vocal, penning articles against the RNC for the Huffington Post and even designing their own line of anti-Republican/anti-conservative T-shirts. With the release of their first single from their 2016 EP, We Are Drugs, the band took their activist stance a step further, dedicating an entire song to Shakara, a high school student in South Carolina who was violently attacked by a police officer because she used her cell phone during math class.
Memorable Lyrics: "Office came and threw Shakara backwards against the wall/ I mean he flipped her just like a rag doll and broke her arm."
4. "6 Shots" by Mistah F.A.B.
In this Mekanix-produced track, Oakland emcee Mistah F.A.B. decries the preponderance of Black deaths and urges his Black and Latino brothers to "stand in solidarity and fight together." The song's title comes from the number of bullets used to kill Alton Sterling at point-blank range, and the rapper also makes mention of other unlawfully-killed Black innocents, like Philando Castile, Eric Garner, Freddie Gray, Sandra Bland, Oscar Grant, and Tamir Rice. A lot of the song is directed at "White America" and you can hear the anger and frustration in F.A.B.'s voice as he sings about how "this shit ain't nothing new."
Memorable Lyrics: "You pick cotton for the master as a chained man/ Now you pick cotton for fashion, it's the same man/ So for all you white folks that say we all equal/ I bet you wouldn't trade pigmentation with my people/ Everybody wan't to be a nigga 'til you gotta be a nigga/ Until your son is the one dead from a trigger."
5. "Revolution" by Nina Grae
In this thundering, piano-laced ballad, San Francisco singer-songwriter Nina Grae speaks out about police brutality and racial profiling. With her throaty, heartfelt voice, Grae's messages ring through loud and clear, and the music video accompaniment to the song is even more striking, featuring news footage of the deaths of Sandra Bland and Freddie Gray, as well as the recent Frisco 5 hunger strike.
Memorable Lyrics: "Keep the riptide/ Keep the folks blind/ Teach the boys to fight/ The girls to hide."

"This is a family recipe that goes back more than 80 years. I have made modifications to this recipe to enhance the taste and flavor. These cabbage rolls freeze well."
Wash rice thoroughly. In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups rice and 4 cups water. Bring to boil; reduce heat, cover and simmer for 20 minutes or until all of the water is absorbed.
In the meantime, remove the core from the cabbages using a thin, long knife. Place 1 cabbage in a microwave proof container with a lid with core side down. Pour 1/2 cup water into the container with the cabbage, cover and microwave on HIGH (full power) for 10 minutes. Carefully turn cabbage over and cook covered for an additional 10 minutes. When cabbage is cooked, let sit until it is cool enough to handle. Separate leaves carefully, removing any tough ribs. Cook the second cabbage in the same manner.
Divide chopped onions in half. Saute one half of the onions in 3 tablespoons butter; cook just until translucent (do not brown). In a large mixing bowl, mix together both the cooked and uncooked rice, cooked and uncooked onions, ground beef, pork sausage, garlic, dill weed, salt, black pepper and sugar and mix well to blend.
Spoon about 2 tablespoons of mixture onto each cabbage leaf. Bring one end of cabbage leaf over mixture, roll and tuck ends in to prevent any filling from falling out.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Prepare two 9x13 inch casserole dishes by placing some left over cabbage leaves in bottom of each. Arrange cabbage rolls in a single layer tight against each other.
In a food processor or blender, process condensed tomato soup and tomatoes. Pour tomato mixture over the cabbage rolls until just covered. Place 4 bay leaves on top of sauce in each dish. Cover each dish tightly with aluminum foil.
Bake in a preheated 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) oven for 2 hours. Once cooked, remove the dishes from the oven and let cool for 15 minutes before removing aluminum foil. Serve hot.
Great recipe, I boiled my cabbage and through a bag of success rice in with it, when the rice was done the cabbage was ready. Super easy, real tasty and the family loved it.

Q: Inline form elements within non-inline form in Bootstrap 3? Is it possible to have certain form elements within a Bootstrap form be inline, while the rest are not?
In my form, I want to make everything take up the full 6 columns, except city, state, and ZIP should occupy a single line. See code below:
<form id="main-form" role="form">

        Name
        <input type="text" class="form-control" id="bill-name"
        placeholder="Full name">

        Company
        <input type="text" class="form-control" id="bill-company"
        placeholder="Company name">

        Address
        <input type="text" class="form-control" id="bill-address1"
        placeholder="Street address">

        Address 2
        <input type="text" class="form-control" id="bill-address2"
        placeholder="Suite, building number, etc.">

        City
        <input type="text" class="form-control" id="bill-city"
        placeholder="City">

        State
        <input type="text" class="form-control" id="bill-state"
        placeholder="State">

</form>

A: That's the beauty of the nestable grid. The result isn't truly inline, but I think it's more effective.

        City
        <input type="text" class="form-control" id="bill-city" placeholder="City">

        State
        <input type="text" class="form-control" id="bill-state" placeholder="State">

The year's fakest TV show has found its judging panel.
Harry Shum Jr., Rozonda "Chilli" Thomas, and Michael Curry have all signed on for truTV's Fake Off, a new competition series about the captivating art of faking. Hosted by actor and dancer Robert Hoffman (Step Up 2: The Streets), the series combines Kabuki theater, acrobatics, dance, costume, and illusion as teams are challenged to recreate and reimagine iconic moments in pop culture, all in hopes of being named America's Fake-Off champion. It's sort of like the Oscar-nominated film The Act of Killing, except a lot less violent and bloody.
Best known for playing Mike Chang on Glee, as a dancer Shum Jr. has worked with stars like Beyoncé, Mariah Carey, and Jennifer Lopez. Chilli is one third of the iconic girl group TLC. Michael Curry is a world-renowned visual and conceptual designer who has worked for numerous companies, including Cirque du Soleil.
The eight episode series is expected to debut sometime in the fall.

Andrei Scobioală (n. 4 octombrie 1884, com. Moșeni, jud. Bălți – d. 27 octombrie 1971, București) a fost profesor de matematică și deputat în Sfatul Țării între anii 1917-1919, precum și în Parlamentul României între anii 1928-1930.

Biografie
A învățat la Școala Normală din Bairancea și la Facultatea de Fizio-Matematici din Odesa, luându-și licența în 1909. A fost mobilizat la arme în timpul Primului Război Mondial, mai exact în 1917, într-o unitate rusească de pe frontul român. În afara activității de pe front, a trimis o scrisoare către Zemstva Gubernială la începutul anului școlar 1917-1918 în care propunea să fie aduse cadre didactice transilvănene și bucovinene dintre prizonierii și refugiații de război, întrucât era îngrijorat de situația învățămânului în limba maternă din Basarabia, având în vedere numărul mic de profesori basarabeni. La 18 februarie 1918 a participat la deschiderea Universității Populare din Chișinău, unde a ținut și un discurs.

În afara activității politice desfășurate în unele organisme și instituții basarabene și românești, în perioada interbelică a fost și profesor de matematică la Școala Normală și Liceul Militar din Chișinău, precum și la Liceul Lazăr din București (în 1940). În 1941 se întoarce în Chișinău, unde activează până în 1944 tot ca profesor la Școala Normală, după care se mută definitiv în București, unde se pensionează. S-a stinge din viață în 1971 din cauza unui infarct. A fost înmormântat la cimitirul Cărămidari din București (Piața Sudului).

Activitatea politică
Prima funcție politic(o-militară) pe care o ocupă este în cadrul Comitetului Oștășesc Moldovenesc, pe care l-a înființat la sfârșitul lui iunie 1917 la Iași, alături de Grigorie Cazacliu, Vasilie Țanțu și Gheorghe Năstase. În cadrul acestuia a ocupat funcția de președinte. Activitatea comitetului a fost foarte importantă, întrucât acestuia i se datorează înființarea comitetelor ostășești moldovenești din toate garnizoanele Moldovei în care se aflau unități rusești cu soldați basarabeni. De asemenea, tot acest Comitet a avut contribuții majore în menținerea disciplinei în armata română, prin încercările de stopare a propagandei de răzvrătire a soldaților români, dar și datorită faptului că interveneau în mitingurile revoluționarilor ruși pentru a diminua tensiunile.

În urma ședințelor din 10, 11 și 12 octombrie 1917 ale  delegațiilor de pe frontul român de la Iași, Andrei Scobioală este nominalizat drept candidat pentru Constituanta rusă din partea partidului S. R.-ilor moldovenesc. Deși alegerile au fost amânate, Scobioală avea să fie propus din nou la următoarele alegeri.

În ședința din 20 octombrie 1917 de la Congresul ostășesc alege să facă parte din grupul separatiștilor. A fost ales ca deputat în Sfatul Țării din partea Comitetului Executiv Moldovenesc de pe frontul român. A deținut acest mandat între 21 noiembrie 1917-18 februarie 1919. În ședința din 27 martie 1918 a votat pentru realizarea unirii cu România. După realizarea acesteia, a fost deputat din partea Partidului Național-Țărănesc în perioada 1928-1930.

Late TD lifts PSU Football over Framingham State in MASCAC game

Osgood's TD catch in final minutes spoils Rams' Homecoming
FRAMINGHAM, Mass. – Sophomore tight end Max Osgood (Nashua, N.H.) pulled in a 17-yard touchdown catch with less than two minutes remaining to cap a wild fourth quarter of action as Plymouth State University outlasted Framingham State University, 29-28, in a Massachusetts State Collegiate Athletic Conference (MASCAC) football game at Bowditch Field on Saturday afternoon.
In a back-and-forth contest, the Rams entered the fourth quarter holding a 14-10 advantage. The lead exchanged hands three times in the final nine minutes, and nearly a fourth, but Framingham State's fourth down pass to the end zone with 15 seconds remaining fell incomplete.
Juniors David Hamilton (West Deptford, N.J.) and Jacob Szulc (Concord, N.H.) had huge games for the Panthers. Hamilton set career highs with 30 carries and 130 yards while finding the end zone once, and Szulc hauled in four catches for a career-best 149 yards and a score as PSU's offense came alive late.
Plymouth State evens its record at 3-3 and improves to 2-3 in MASCAC play, while the Rams drop to 4-2 overall and 3-1 in league action.
Plymouth State 29, Framingham State 28
Plymouth State 3-3 (2-3 MASCAC)
Framingham State 4-2 (3-1 MASCAC)
* The Rams took the opening kickoff and drove 74 yards on just five plays to get on the board first. Junior Adam Wojenski (Stratford, Conn.) started the drive with a 28 yard completion to senior Quron Wright (Worcester, Mass.) and capped the drive with an 18 yard touchdown strike to Wright and the Rams converted the extra point for the 7-0 lead.
* Plymouth State answered with a touchdown drive of its own on its first possession of the game. The Panthers, who converted on three third downs on the drive, went 69 yards on 12 plays using just under seven minutes. Hamilton capped the drive with an 11 yard scoring run and sophomore Jeremy Martin (Charlton, Mass.) drilled the point after to tie the game at 7-7 with 6:03 left in the first.
* PSU took its first lead of the game, 10-7, with 30 seconds remaining in the first half on Martin's 35 yard field goal.
* The Panthers put together a good drive to start the second half, but Framingham State's defense held on a fourth and two from the FSU 29-yard line.
* Using the momentum, the Rams drove 71 yards on 14 plays to retake the lead on a two yard touchdown run by junior Rufus Rushins (Lynn, Mass.). With the PAT, Framingham State pulled ahead 14-10 with 3:18 left in the third quarter to set up the late-game dramatics.
* Plymouth State took then ensuing possession 54 yards and Martin's second kick of the day, this time from 29 yards out, pulled the Panthers to within 14-13.
* FSU drove right back down the field, extending the lead to 20-13 following a 17 yard end around by senior Napoleon Miller (Dorchester, Mass.) with 9:36 left to play.
* It took the Panthers just 26 seconds to take the lead. On the first play following the ensuing kickoff, senior Zack Edwards (Brookfield, Mass.) hit Szulc for an 80 yard TD strike down the left sideline and Martin's PAT tied the game at 20-20. The Rams fumbled the kickoff and recovered in the end zone for a PSU safety to give the Panthers a 22-20 lead and the ball with 8:54 remaining.
* PSU was looking to extend the lead, but junior Jack Sullivan (Dartmouth, Mass.) jumped in front of Edwards' pass and rumbled 65 yards the other way for a go-ahead pick six. The Rams went for two and Wright hit Miller for the two-point conversion to put the home team ahead 28-22 with 6:33 to go.
* The Panthers answered back again, using a nine play, 68 yard drive to pull ahead for one last time. Hamilton ripped off a 21 yard rush on the drive and Edwards connected with Osgood in the right corner of the end zone to even the game at 28-28. Martin was good on the PAT try to give the Panthers the lead for good.
* FSU got the ball back with 1:51 to go and was able to bring the ball to the PSU 29 yard line. An offensive holding penalty backed the Rams up, though, and facing fourth and 13 with 15 seconds to play, Wojenski's pass to the end zone fell incomplete.
* Edwards finished 13-of-28 for 231 yards, two touchdowns and one interception, while Wojenski went 28-of-42 for 280 yards and one score.
* Hamilton has capped the 100-yard rushing mark in four of his five games. His 130 yards rushing are the most by a Panther since senior Mitch Banuskevich (Milford, N.H.) exploded for 168 against Bridgewater State in a game last October.
* Szulc's 149 yards receiving are the most since Brandonn Drumgole had 172 in a 48-27 loss to Mass. Maritime Academy in Nov. 2015.
* It was Szulc's third career 100-yard receiving game. He also reached the plateau in a 30-28 overtime win over Mount Ida (122 yards) on Sept. 10, 2016, and a 37-7 win over UMass Dartmouth on Sept. 23, 2017.
* PSU was penalized just twice for 10 total yards, while the Rams were whistled 11 times for 107 yards.
* Junior Matt Shea (Windham, N.H.) led the defense with eight tackles (six solo), while sophomore Zac Garside (Londonderry, N.H.) had a pair of pass breakups.
* PSU has gone 2-4 against the Rams since joining the MASCAC in 2013, with the Panthers winning each of the last two meetings.
* Both of the last two games have come down to the final play. Last fall's game was decided on a field goal in overtime.
Straight from the Coach's Mouth:
"Today was another one-score, one-play game," said head coach Paul Castonia, "and fortunately we made some plays. I am proud of the team for how they competed and persevered."
* The Panthers return to Currier Field next Saturday (Oct. 20) for a MASCAC contest with Massachusetts Maritime Academy. Kickoff is slated for 1:00 p.m.
* Framingham State visits Westfield State on Saturday (Oct. 20) for a 2:00 p.m. MASCAC game.

Could Mogadishu, Minnesota Become The State's Largest-Ever Film Production?
According to early production estimates, it could, so long as HBO green lights the show and keeps the production in Minnesota.
By TCB Staff
HBO was granted approval by the Minnesota Public Housing Authority on Tuesday to shoot the pilot episode of Mogadishu, Minnesota. If given the green light for a 10-episode season, the show could be a major economic boost to the Twin Cities area, the premiere cable company has said.
In early estimates, HBO has told MPR that the pilot could cost around $5.5 million to make, much of which would be spent in Minneapolis, where the show's fictional depiction takes place, showing how the Somali community deals with assimilating into America culture.
Individual episodes following the pilot are said to cost between $4 million and $5 million each to produce, or as much as $50.5 million for the entire season altogether. Compared to other HBO shows, this would rank Mogadishu, Minnesota alongside Deadwood ($4.5 million per episode), Boardwalk Empire ($5 million per episode) and even Game of Thrones ($6 million per episode during season one).
Lucinda Winter, executive director of the Minnesota Film and TV Board, confirmed that these figures are "within the ballpark" of what HBO said they would spend in Minnesota.
"Just for the pilot production alone, there's a hiring estimate for 300 locally," she said. "And that's why we're so excited about this. From an economic development and jobs standpoint, this is an amazing opportunity for, not only the east African and Somali community, but people who work as professionals within [the film and television] industry."
Nevertheless, the production has received backlash from the Somali-American community in Minneapolis. Many have expressed concern over the potential depictions of the diaspora as early reports indicated the show would focus on the terrorist recruitment of young Somali-Americans.
Winter, HBO and the show's creator, writer and director K'naan Warsame dismissed those early reports. To build trust and reach out to Somali-Americans within the Cedar Riverside area, HBO is said to be actively searching for local talent to work on every aspect of the show's production.
"The show began hiring Somalis and east Africans into their office just after they moved in around Labor Day to begin pre-production planning," Winter said. "Because they are going to be starting production in October, they've been hiring in every department that'll be on the set," including art, lighting, costumes and so forth.
Part of HBO's draw to hire locally involves the state's film incentives program, Snowbate. In Minnesota, any project with production costs exceeding $1 million that is primarily shot in state can receive a 25 percent reimbursement.
According to Winter, it was the state legislature's $4.5 million appropriation her office received back in May that helped convince HBO to shoot the Mogadishu, Minnesota pilot in Minneapolis. Without the additional incentives money, HBO might have moved the pilot's production outside of Minnesota, as FX did with its Fargo series in 2013.
"If this were to become a full series production in Minnesota," Winter said, "they would be here for five months spending money the whole time because just 50 to 60 percent of that goes to wages."

Tuesday Tips REVISITED…As promised we are going to start taking some of our Tuesday Tips and Tricks posts and talk about something FAR more important than the technical aspects of photography, the evil B word (Business)! Most photographers got into photography because they LOVE photography, not the business side! Isn't that why you started? Most of us hate the 9-5 grind mentality (even though we end up working more than most people with a day job) and we want to be free from all the things that we don't love doing. Unfortunately, as most of us have found out, if you don't have a solid business underneath your amazing art, then you are doomed to be broke and frustrated with this thing called full-time photography and even worse, 9 out of 10 of us will end up going out of business within 10 years.* Not cool!
So, what is the remedy? The solution to this problem is to fall in love with running a great business as much as you do with your art and shooting. The two don't have to be that much different, because if you want your clients to have an amazing experience when they finally see the photos you created for them (which all of us do), then why not have every aspect of your business do that? We can make our entire business a great experience for our clients and it can be fun and creative and a great challenge that you just might really enjoy! So, today is titled "Chapter One" because it is the first in a series of posts that we will be doing on marketing.
For those of you who are the artist type – hang in there! This is good, we promise!
That is very true, but a better way to think about marketing is: "Marketing is the activity, set of institutions, and processes for creating, communicating, delivering, and exchanging offerings that have value for customers, clients, partners, and society at large." We love that! An exchange of offerings that have value for clients! That is what we all want to do, isn't it? Create value and show the value to our clients in what we do day in and day out. So, with that awesome definition in hand, let's begin.
There is an absolute right and an absolute wrong way to market your business to perspective clients. Many people don't want to believe that statement is true, but it is. There are laws to marketing just like there are laws of physics and laws of nature (which are all God's law by the way). So why would we think that there are no laws of marketing? There are, and violation of them will result in you being very unhappy with the results you get.
Law 1 – The Law of Leadership. Most photographers that we have met over the years all come to a similar conclusion about photography and business. That if you have the best photos, you will get business. So, we spend all of our time, money and energy working on our craft trying to be the best, original, most creative photographer on the wedding photography planet, only to see jobs go to the guy that we know stinks! "But, look at his color, his composition," we say! "Why would you choose him over me?!" Because of the Law of Leadership states "it is better to be first, then to be best." What this law of marketing means, is that consumers don't care if you are better, then only care about who they know, or who gets into their mind first. If that is not you, then it does not matter how good your "product" is. They won't buy it.
1. What is the name of the first person to fly the Atlantic Ocean?
Answer: Charles Lindbergh. That one was easy!
2. Who was the second? Not that easy now is it?
Yup, we had never heard his name either.
The interesting thing about Bert is that when he flew over the Atlantic, he did it faster, consumed less fuel and did it "better" than Lindbergh. But guess what? No one knows who he is or what happened to him since! He was second into people's minds, so no one remembered him.
So, it is not nearly enough to have "better" photos than the next guy. That won't get you jobs day in and day out. Can you book a few jobs based on how "good" you are? Maybe. But you can't sustain it long term without having this first law in effect. If you can be known to your prospects and get into their minds first, then you can win the marketing game. People will stick with what they have.
The biggest thing to remember when thinking about how we are going to market our photography business, is that marketing is NOT a battle of products, but a battle of perception. If the client perceives that your business is better, than it is better in their minds. So, what if you ARE second in the clients mind? Are you doomed like Bert Hinkler? No! If you are not first in your category, then all you need to do is create a new category (law 2!). There are many other laws and we will be covering some of them in future posts! These laws have changed the way we do business day in and day out and guess what? We had our best year ever in 2010 in every way. From financial to personal. These laws work, so stay tuned for more to come!


The Prophet (ﷺ) met Zaid bin 'Amr bin Nufail in the bottom of (the valley of) Baldah before any Divine Inspiration came to the Prophet. A meal was presented to the Prophet (ﷺ) but he refused to eat from it. (Then it was presented to Zaid) who said, "I do not eat anything which you slaughter in the name of your stone idols. I eat none but those things on which Allah's Name has been mentioned at the time of slaughtering." Zaid bin 'Amr used to criticize the way Quraish used to slaughter their animals, and used to say, "Allah has created the sheep and He has sent the water for it from the sky, and He has grown the grass for it from the earth; yet you slaughter it in other than the Name of Allah. He used to say so, for he rejected that practice and considered it as something abominable.

Lessons for overcoming adversity
Adversity, and what I have learned from it
On this day, seven years ago, my friend Danny took his life. This traumatic event changed my life forever. He was the second friend of mine to take his life and I was closely involved in the discovery and reporting of both him and my friend Kai.
This blog is a reflective account of my personal experiences of adversity in general, including bereavement through suicide and how this has led to major changes in my life. These, in turn have rippled out to others. It's not about the subject of suicide but I have included some useful UK-based links for support below.
While much of my personal development has been self-directed, I would like to highlight that I am a Mental Health First Aider with some personal tools and strategies but I also accessed suicide bereavement counselling at the start of my journey. Do get professional help if you are struggling.
Here's my timeline of the last seven years.
When Danny died, I was working as an Associate for a equality accreditation broker, after having become self-employed a year previously. Before that, I'd had a well-paid senior role as the regional Director of a business network, part of the National Employment Panel. It was a great job which took me around the UK and abroad, speaking about the employment, skills and diversity programs that I helped organisations to set up.
The CEO of the equality accreditation broker was a former business friend whom I liked and respected but the Chairman was a drunk and a bully. The CEO often had to act as a buffer between him, me and the other Associates.
His behaviour had always been extreme and erratic but when I realised that he was using my vulnerability relating to my friend's suicide to bully me even more in the fortnight following Danny's death, I knew what I had to do. I told him that I was ending our contract. It was a risky move because I had to forgo a retainer that made up the bulk of my monthly income – and I only had one tender in the pipeline.
Don't put all your eggs in one basket.
I own property which I bought by myself with no help from a partner or parents. As you can imagine, this uncertainty about how I was going to cover my bills was so stressful.
Do make overpayments on your mortgage to accrue mortgage holidays or put money aside as a buffer when you can.
Luckily, I won that tender and a week later secured a great contract that continued for several years. With the UK Commission for Employment and Skills, it built on my expertise in business-led employment and skills programmes and practices. I knew it wasn't exactly what I wanted to do but it paid the bills while I was figuring things out.
From my time with the equality standard broker, I knew that my work had to be more holistic. I wanted to consider wider social impact over and above diversity and inclusion, where my niche expertise lies. I feel that too many organisations play around the edges, undertaking a few ad hoc employee initiatives or unsustainable Corporate Social Responsibility schemes. Painting fences is nice and all but it doesn't contribute to real, lasting change within communities.
My ensuing journey of self-discovery was brought about by a comment from my bereavement counsellor. He identified that the reason I was struggling with both Danny and Kai's deaths was because they were situations out of my control. I have always been organised but back then it is fair to say that I was pretty regimented.
I needed to learn about ease and flow and left the therapy room on a mission to read. This period led me discover many great writers and thinkers and also to the Japanese model, Ikigai. This model helped me to understand that my purpose in life is to help women and girls speak up, and to advocate on their behalf when they don't have a voice.
Don't overthink your Ikigai and know that it will evolve over time.
I also resolved to become more active and more courageous, and undertook challenges such as a skydive, an abseil, climbing Ben Nevis and the Yorkshire Three Peaks. Exercise has such a positive impact on mental wellbeing and hiking has become part of my routine now.
Shortly after this, in January 2014, I set up a company called People Help People. It was with the former CEO of the equality broker, who by now had become brave enough to leave too. Our other partners were social impact speciality Bernadette Speight and Dr Jean Garrod, who came out of retirement to join us.
In the same month, I launched a global legal and media campaign based on asylum seeker Afusat Saliu and her two daughters on the grounds of the risk of female genital mutilation if they were deported. That campaign gathered 126,500 supporters and the interest of MPs and other personalities. It was raised in Prime Minister's Questions and had extensive media coverage.
After the dust settled following the campaign, I was back 100% in the business and quickly saw that People Help People wasn't working out for me. I had somehow ended up doing the major roles of finance, social media marketing and business development, on top of delivery.
In part, this was down to the others' lack of skill or confidence in those areas but it still wasn't fair. Fairness is one of my core values and helps me to set boundaries and make sound decisions based on principles of fairness.
Since there were four of us, we had different language styles and differing visions. That's confusing for potential clients, and even if your team have great skills, clients won't buy if they're confused.
If you decide to go into business with anyone, agree to roles and responsibilities well in advance, keep reviewing that you're on track and ensure that your visions are aligned.
I was in such a quandry. I cared for my business partners but at the same time knew that I had to go it alone. I figured that if I had to wear so many hats, I might as well do it for myself. Also, during the campaign period, my passion for supporting women and girls had deepened and so had my influence and contacts. I truly had found my ikigai (reason for being).
If there's something you think about about changing in the world as soon as you wake and last thing before you go to sleep, chances are, you're close to your Ikigai.
The skills I had learned whilst dealing with the global media and leading such a high profile campaign had built on my previous experience of advising on campaigns for the Department for Work and Pensions such as EmployAbility and Backing Young Britain.
I knew that I genuinely wanted to give other women the contacts and the skills to implement change at the scale that I was able to – if they so choose. For those who are not ready, I wanted to enable them to join in, contribute to or support others' campaigns. That's where the idea of Inspiring Women Changemakers came from.
By now, I had lost four more loved ones within one month, two to cancer, and Bernadette had been undergoing treatment for breast cancer too.
We agreed to close People Help People in 2016. We had put a lot of work into social impact reporting and developing a framework to help them identify, build on and measure their social value for themselves but Bernadette and Jean were both tired.
At the end of 2016, it was now or never. I'd been putting in the work and launched Inspiring Women Changemakers in the October. I had Bernadette and Jean's blessing to do so (the third partner had since disappeared abroad – another traumatic experience that I don't wish to dwell on).
Quitting doesn't mean you're giving up. Consider the lessons you have learned and reflect on how you will do things differently next time.
Jean had decided to go back to retirement and Bernadette's cancer had now reached Stage 4. She died in September 2017. I broke my ankle and the blood thinner I was prescribed whilst in a cast caused internal bleeding, which in turn resulted in low ferritin levels which caused weight gain and severe alopecia.
This was a different kind of test for a public speaker like me, not just financial but in terms of body image too. My family and close friends and my beautiful garden were a blessing during this time.
Somehow though, I found the strength to launch the Igniting Inspiration awards and named the young changemaker category of my Igniting Inspiration Awards after her. Partners and sponsors were invited to my home for meetings while I was laid up on the sofa in a leg cast!
During 2018, I carried on testing and building Inspiring Women Changemakers. Highlights included launching my residentials in the Dales, being featured in Grant Thornton's 100 Faces of a Vibrant Economy campaign and being interviewed as one of the 200 featured global changemakers in visual storybook, Generation Share.
As I complete a seven-year cycle which coincides with the anniversary of Danny's suicide and two years since Bernadette died, I have been tying up loose ends, completing the Building Social Value framework and updating it using my own language and expertise.
Now in their third year, the Igniting Inspiration awards are my legacy but I feel like her legacy is being fulfilled through my social impact work.
I've shared this story to show that you can grow and learn from adversity, even if the life events were unwelcomed. You can use your lessons and experiences to create something good, not just in your own life but in other people's lives too. I miss Danny so badly on days like this but I hope he's somewhere, watching and proud of the changes he indirectly brought about.
Time for the next seven-year cycle…
If you're struggling, CALM (for men) and The Samaritans have helplines, or for female suicide awareness, follow NINA. Additionally, a group of bereaved friends have set up Mike's Mates, which is a central hub of information on mental health resources.
Inspiring Women Changemakers is a dynamic movement of people working to make the world a fairer, safer place for women. We give changemakers the communication skills, platform and connections to amplify change.

The chakras act as conductors, drawing vital energy up from the earth, circulating it through the physical body, and releasing it as higher awareness.
In other words, vitality is transmuted into awareness, spirituality, and a deeper conception of the universe.
Likewise, cosmic energy moves down through the crown chakra and manifests as right action, creativity, and health.
As we develop our consciousness and refine our sensitivities, we release old, stagnant emotional energy in the form of dreams, memories, and feelings that weigh down our spirit. The more freedom, love, and beauty the spirit experiences, the wider the energy fields become. As we evolve, we actually become healthier, with more energy available to us for healing, creativity, and joy.
The state of our chakras is very important. They are the vital key to what we think and feel, as well as the accumulated dross of our past. They are, in a manner of speaking, the ladder of love that takes us from survival to the highest realm of consciousness, healing, and bliss.
Our chakras are the repositories of our thoughts, feelings, and attitudes about life and are extremely responsive to what we think and feel. Unexpressed anger or frustration can accumulate as tension in the muscles. Imploded emotional energy can also overcharge the chakra system, causing imbalance and preventing us from using our energy in a beneficial way.
The root chakra is affected by aggression, which, if allowed to remain unexpressed, turns into anger and violence. If your life is threatened or your beliefs are attacked, these feelings will surface and stimulate the adrenaline flow into your blood, causing you to become defensive and frightened.
Conversely, you can tap into this emotional charge to access reserves of energy that can be used for creativity and a healthy lifestyle. When we harness our vital energy to our willpower we develop the capacity to move with grace, precision, and intent.
Below is a practical exercise to let you review some of the harmful attitudes associated with the root chakra. This exercise illustrates a way of reframing negative attitudes into more positive and life-affirming ones.
Negative attitudes: The harmful attitudes associated with the root chakra have to do with despair and victimhood. These attitudes can generate violent and hateful feelings, and emerge when our life is threatened and we feel overwhelmed. We may experience such thoughts as "It's not worth it"; "I want to die"; "Life is unbearable this way." They all attest to a disassociation from life and a lack of trust in its innate goodness.
Positive attitudes: All positive attitudes involving the root chakra attest to a spiritual belief in the goodness of life. They imply trust and a sense of belonging, and tell us that there is love, support, and care to get us through difficult and challenging times. It may not come in the form we think we need, but if we are quiet and still we can sense it in nature, in the kindness of strangers, and in many gentle and tender ways. Be still, do nothing. Let the goodness come.
I trust in the goodness of life to carry me through.
I belong wherever I am.
I affirm my right to the life I know I want.
I cultivate constancy, stability, and a wholesome structure to support me throughout life's changes.
I am grateful for the experiences of my life.
For the root chakra, opening our minds to the beauty and timelessness of nature can help bring peace and a sense of unity with the world. This is a deep guided walk in the woods and is intended to be used as a way to start the day or as a break in the day to relax, refocus, and reenergize.
A meditation to ground and anchor your energy into the here and now. Come home to the womb of Mother Earth where you can surrender and receive exactly what nourishment you need. I suggest you do this in twilight or full darkness, as an evening or bedtime meditation.
Allow time for things to come around in an affirming way for you. If you do not succeed in the beginning of a project, rethink it and let things develop in the light of positive affirmation. They will do so eventually, if you can persevere.
Do what is necessary to remain stable through change. Develop meditation skills and ways to slow down the mind. Learn to be philosophical when things become uncertain.
Learn to live with change. Be flexible and adaptable.
Be secure in yourself and know that everything will be all right eventually.
Trust in life to see you through the difficult moments.
Do not despair when things do not go well for you. Breathe, give yourself time to reflect on what is essential and important.
Make a plan to see your dreams unfold.
Be grateful for the life you have and work to bring as much order into your life as possible so that when things do go astray you have some reserves to fall back on.
Enjoy life and cultivate a sense of humor. We all have setbacks and challenges. We are all learning to be resourceful and to cultivate a positive outlook.

Suitors of Penelope


Today we're going to sing a little counting song - "All Together Now" by the Beatles, with different words for this special day. Can you count from one to ten? Well today, when we get to 10, instead of singing 7-8-9-10, we're going to sing 7-8-9-9 because the date for FASD Awareness Day is 9/9. If you have bells, ring them when we come to "Ring the bell" part and clap your hands whenever you feel like it. When you hear me say "Circle Time" I want all the children to hold hands in a circle and walk to your right - you know which way is right? Right! And at the same time, I want the big kids and adults to make a bigger circle on the outside of the children's circle, and walk to your left. Are you ready to sing along with me? Let's go!
All - to - geth - er - now!
