Mia Love: Awesome BHM Chick!!
Mia Love has a cool name and a cooler back story. Totes proud to name her today's awesome black history month person!! You ready, Wikipedia? Great!!
Ludmya Bourdeau "Mia" Love (born December 6, 1975) is an American politician and the U.S. Representative from Utah's 4th congressional district. She is the first Haitian American and the first black female Republican in Congress, as well as the first African American to be elected to Congress from Utah.
Told you you she has a cool name. Imagine that story: Haitian, woman, and from UTAH!!! Even I'm too black for Utah!
Have YOU improved a city's bond rating? Didn't think so.
Raised a Roman Catholic, Love joined The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints after graduating from college in 1998. While working as a flight attendant, she moved to Utah as part of her work. She also wanted to be closer to the temple and to learn more about her faith. There she got to know Jason Love, whom she had met briefly when he was an LDS missionary in Connecticut.
I hate to lose a fellow Catholic and Mormons are a little weird. I was once propositioned by a Mormon couple to have a three sum. I declined. Two months later the husband was arrested for child molestation. He would drive from IL to Utah and bang a 14 year old.
And people say stereotypes don't exist.

U.S. sees signs of Russian involvement in Upcoming Mexican Election
Jan 8, 2018 | Controversial, Election, Latino Demographics, Latinos, World News	|
According to National Security Adviser Gen. H.R. McMaster, the U.S. has seen "initial signs" of Russian "subversion and disinformation and propaganda" in Mexico's upcoming presidential election. According to a clip of a speech by McMaster obtained by José Díaz Briseño, the U.S. correspondent for the Mexican magazine Reforma, McMaster stated,
"For example, with Russia we are concerned, increasingly concerned, with these sophisticated campaigns of subversion and disinformation and propaganda, the use of cyber tools to do that. As you've seen this is a really sophisticated effort to polarize democratic societies and pit communities within those societies against each other and create crises of confidence and to undermine the strength within Europe. You see this most recently with the Catalonia independence referendum in Spain, for example. You see actually initial signs of it in the Mexican presidential campaign already."
On July 1, Mexicans will vote on a new president, every senator and representative, some governors, and thousands of officials in states across the nation. According to Shannon O'Neill, senior fellow for Latin America Studies at the Council on Foreign Relations, Mexico is an appealing target if Russia seeks to undermine the Western world and the US's role in it, because of the close links between the U.S. and Mexico on things such as the economy, energy, transportation, and national-security issues. Not to mention the approximately 37 million Mexican-Americans and immigrants in the U.S. with roots in Mexico. According to Reforma, Mexico's National Electoral Institute has expressed concern about disinformation campaigns directed toward the electoral process on social networks. Unfortunately, Mexico lacks the proper agencies equipped to deal with such interference, which could leave Mexico unable to counter misinformation. We will have to wait and see what happens with Mexico's election and if Russia is truly getting involved in its election.

The government of Bullhead City, Arizona collects taxes from its residents in order to pay for general public services, like police and fire departments, libraries, hospitals, and public transit.
In Bullhead City, Arizona, taxes can come from numerous different sources. However, they are always collected at a rate that has been set by the law. Taxes sometimes come in the form of flat fees, but most of them are collected as a percentage of some larger amount of money, such as the value of a piece of property, or income.
In case you were wondering, paying your taxes in Bullhead City is mandatory. The law states it. So, if you don't pay your taxes, with extremely few exceptions, you are guilty of a crime, and will be punished accordingly.
There are a considerable number of different sources of tax revenue in Bullhead City, Arizona. They contain, among many others, sales tax, licensing fees, and road tolls.
Sales Tax: The sales tax imposed by Bullhead City is on top of the sales tax collected by the government of . Sales taxes are typically fairly small - about 5-7% at the state level, plus a city sales tax that's typically one percent or less.
Licensing Fees: The city of Bullhead City may require business owners to acquire a license from the local government before they begin operating within city limits. Typically, the main hurdle involved in obtaining one of these licenses is paying a fee to the city government. Although these payments are called "fees" as opposed to "taxes," they operate in the same way, and serve largely the same purpose, as taxes.
Bridge/Road Tolls: Most large cities in the U.S. charge fees, or tolls, on automobiles entering the city via public bridges and highways. This money is, more or less, a tax on everybody who drives into Bullhead City via public infrastructure. This means that everyone who visits is obligated to make at least a small contribution to the government services they'll be using while there.
How Can a Bullhead City, Arizona Tax Attorney Help?
Tax Law in Bullhead City, Arizona is sometimes simple. More often than not, however, some wrinkle appears that makes determining one's tax liability more perplexing than it probably needs to be. Furthermore, many individuals and groups are legally entitled to tax breaks and deductions, which can make figuring out one's tax liability even more difficult.
Thus, it's extremely important that you obtain the advice of a knowledgeable Bullhead City, Arizona tax attorney if you have any tax law questions.


CHICAGO (Sun-Times Media Wire) - A man died after he was shot and thrown out of a vehicle Thursday afternoon in the Stony Island Park neighborhood on the South Side, police said.
The man was taken to University of Chicago Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead, police said. Further details about the circumstances of the shooting were not immediately available.


Not a week goes by that we don't get a call from an online business asking why their sales are going down, why their site isn't taking off, why nobody is subscribing to their product demo, what they could improve online sales, and so forth. Sometimes the flaws are obvious, but more often than not finding the reason for low conversion rates can be a challenge.
It is especially frustrating when you have a lot of traffic. Traffic is good, traffic is nice, but just like a bee visiting flowers, it's not the number of buzzing bees that counts, it is what they do on the flower.
So what can you do if you have all the traffic you need, but visits still aren't converting?
Of course, there is A/B testing, which we have covered in this article. But before you get busy testing, make sure you lay the groundwork. That means creating landing pages that are actually worth analyzing, looking closely at visitors' behavior on your site, and, sometimes, asking direct questions.
So, let's get busy then.
Web sites are usually chock full of distractions. There is simply too much information to decide which particular element turns away customers or reduces conversion rates. Often the very design of the navigation tools is a conversion killer.
Online behavior used to be a bit of a mystery, and a lot had to be inferred from sparse Google Analytics data. Time spent on page doesn't really tell you much for most content. The bounce rate can be terribly misleading.
There are now a number of nifty tools out there, but automation goes only so far. Sometimes it's better to get insights manually, by actually asking people their opinion.
The more you know about your site visitors, the better you will get at creating content they like, and offering products they actually buy. Analyzing online behavior and segmenting audiences with cleverly designed navigation options are the first steps, followed by A/B testing. Together these "hidden" analysis options can give you insights without actively asking customers.
Sometimes you want to know more of course, and then you need to turn to questions. Google Forms is a great way to design simple questionnaires. In our experience, customers are willing to answer 3-5 questions as long as they don't have to write out the answers. Just make sure you ask the right questions, however. I recently was asked to reply to the question "Do you think our product price is right, or should it be a) lower or b) higher?" I seriously doubt that large numbers of customers would choose b, so the responses are perfectly meaningless.
If you have analyzed your website traffic and done your A/B testing, and you know your product is great but website visits still aren't converting, it's time to look at your funnel.
One reason why we at Geber don't like advertising is that it distorts the funnel too much. (See: Is digital advertising the biggest fraud in history?) You can spend millions on the flashiest ads with the biggest super stars, but what percentage of the people who respond to the creativity of an ad, or the allure of a star, actually end up being your customer? Unless you are a ubiquitous brand like Coke or McDonalds, advertising is probably not the most cost-effective way to promote your product.
There are a lot of content marketing options you can use to engage audiences and increase conversion rates. We have covered many of these in previous articles. For shopping websites and B2B business alike, email newsletters are still a fantastic tool to stay in touch with customers. They also help improve conversion rates, sometimes very significantly. We recently started a newsletter for a niche fashion website and doubled their sales in just 3 months. Don't underestimate the power of good old email!
The more you know about your visitors, the better your relationship will become. Better relationships mean higher trust, and that, in turn, leads to higher conversions. Investing the time in simple analysis or A/B testing is a lot more cost effective than increasing your ad budget, that's for sure, and finding out about visitor behavior on your site can offer you a lot of valuable insights not just for your digital marketing, but also for your overall business strategy.


I tread on the shore, my toes sinking as I take every step. A crab scurries by. There is a brilliant show of reflection as the warm Eastern sun gazes down upon granules of unadulterated sodium and sand. A crash of waves, blue -- no, green! -- punctures the air in melodic ascent and my ears tingle in delight.
I originally planned to write a different post for this set of photos taken over the weekend with my mother, to whom the romantic excursion of wind-swept, sun-swept, sand-swept beach photos should be attributed, but one glance at my personal progress over the weekend and I knew a metaphorised anecdote suits better than the initial materialistic draft of scavenged maxi dresses and uncomfortable public posing.
Long story short, I have decided to forgive myself for the mistakes I have held myself accountable for, of which have spawned some of my darkest posts across the previous few months, for the past year or so.
Confession: There is very little self-love going on in this jumbled up mind of mine. The result? Self-loath. The subsequent effect? Merciless self-condemnation, from the most severe of mistakes to the tiniest, most trivial slip up. And in came Unhappiness, settling down like the pesky little bugger it is, occupying like the perilous evolution it potentiates.
To say and be done with such a weighted statement is a dangerous fallacy. It takes time for the culture to take effect, but the ability to forgive oneself for one's mistakes is the catalyst to get things going. I've spent enough time hating myself, spent enough time wallowing, spent enough time stressing out over mistakes I've made in the past. Continuing to do so is to put a time bomb on my back and watch it count down to my inevitable destruction.
To accept that I can be forgiven though the people to which I have incurred hurt are not yet ready to forgive is the necessary step I need to take to detonate this bomb, to move on, to be hit by crashes of waves and hailstorms and to be washed up along a shoreline a castaway, renewed, relieved.
There are several factors which have provoked my thoughts and which consequently allowed me to straighten my mind to give myself room to love over the weekend. The first would be the ever controversial, ever debatable, ever discussed Essena O'Neil. The second is this wonderful post written by Zauni from Hello Zauni, timed at a curious coincidence to my acceptance of this.
The sky was bright, the oceans loud, my surroundings -- nothing short of colourful. Spending my time over the weekend away from technology with mother dearest, laughing at our awkward poses, flipping hair against the savage winds, it was the happiest I have been in ages. I didn't work, I didn't think, I didn't carry the heavy heart that has weighed me down for the past twelve months. It was bliss; bright, blue, beautiful.

Former FSPS substitute teacher dies 'suspicious' death
By Max BryanTimes Recordmbryan@swtimes.com
Fort Smith police on Friday continued to investigate what they have called a "suspicious" death of a former Fort Smith Public Schools substitute teacher following an arrest in connection with the incident.
The body of William J. Dubois Jr., 72, who reportedly taught in the school district for three decades, was discovered during a welfare check around 4:30 p.m. Thursday inside a duplex in the 1800 block of South Greenwood Avenue. Detectives have determined Dubois' death was not due to natural or self-inflicted injuries and arrested one suspect who was not identified Friday tied to the case.
Police on Friday afternoon were "having to follow a number of leads" in relation to the incident, said police spokesperson Aric Mitchell. Mitchell on Friday did not say whether detectives have determined if Dubois' death was a homicide.
Mitchell did not disclose the arrestee's suspected charges or relationship to Dubois on Friday. He also did not disclose the circumstances leading up to Dubois' death or how police found the suspect, adding that giving out such information could intrude on detectives' investigation.
Police on Thursday afternoon taped off the yard of the duplex with crime scene tape as detectives walked in and out of the house. Officers and detectives were still on scene at 11:00 p.m. Thursday.
Dubois taught at Fort Smith Public Schools from 1973-2003 as a substitute teacher and worked part-time in the athletic department, said Fort Smith Public Schools Executive Director of Communications Director Zena Featherston Marshall. Marshall said Dubois taught at Northside High School while she attended school there.
"It's a sad day," Marshall said of Dubois' death.
Mitchell on Friday could not estimate when he would be allowed to release more information to the public, but anticipated the situation would "make a lot more sense in a day or two."

Kendrick Lamar, Drake, and Childish Gambino all opted out of the 2019 Grammys, but hip-hop was still represented loudly and proudly by the one and only Cardi B. The Bronx-born rapper brought the party to the stage by performing an especially extravagant rendition of smash single "Money".
Cardi's stage featured a glitter-covered piano and a background made up of lovely fabrics draped in rich purple, pink, and silver hues. As for the MC herself, she truly was born to flex with diamonds on her neck, leopard tights, and toward the end, a feather accessory that made her look like the most fabulous peacock to take on the Grammys.
Cardi was up for a total of five Grammy awards this evening — Album of the Year (Invasion of Privacy), Record of the Year ("I Like It"), Best Pop Duo/Group Performance ("Girl Like You" with Maroon 5), Best Rap Performance ("Be Careful"), and Best Rap Album (Invasion of Privacy). In the end, the MC snagged just the Best Rap Album award, but it was a momentous accomplishment all the same as Cardi became the first woman to win as a solo artist in that category.
The Barack Obama-approved MC is due to release a follow-up album sometime in 2019.
Pick up some of Cardi's releases on vinyl over on ReverbLP.

Q: Let function return while other function finishes using threads in Python? I have a function that modifies data and returns it to the user after modifying. At this point that is the information the user needs so I want to return it ASAP, but I need that modified_data to make calls to an API and upload data it to a DB, but this can be done in the background. Is there a way to have modify_data() return while letting get_more_data() finish?
I tried using threading, but it waits until get_more_data() returns before returning modify_data. I've also considered placing both into seprate threads in a parent function but I need modify_data() to generate the data for get_more_data() first.
import threading
def modify_data(data):
    #modify data... example
    modified_data = [item+1 for item in data]
    th = threading.Thread(target=get_more_data(set(modified_data)))
    th.start()
    return modified_data

def get_more_data(data):
    #call api for more data
    #upload to DB

A: In this line
th = threading.Thread(target=get_more_data(set(modified_data)))

you are executing the get_more_data method to get the target.
Try
th = threading.Thread(target=get_more_data, args=(set(modified_data),))

Eisteddfod Genedlaethol Cymru (kymriska: Wales nationella eisteddfod) eller National Eisteddfod of Wales på engelska, är en eisteddfod som hålls på olika orter varje år runt om i Wales. Den hålls varje år i månadsskiftet juli-augusti och är en av de största festivalerna i världen med över 160 000 besökare varje år.Den första nationella gorsedden hölls i Denbeigh 1860. Den festivalen liknar de som hålls i dag.

Upplägg
Den nationella eisteddfoden hölls traditionellt under den första veckan i augusti, och alla tävlingar hålls på kymriska. Inför festivalen reses många tält, paviljonger och stånd för att skapa det så kallade maes (fält). Således krävs mycket plats och eisteddfoden hålls oftast på ett öppet fält snarare än i en stad. Gorsedd y Beirdd, Wales nationella gorsedd, är med och organiserar eisteddfoden. Därför hålls gorseddens ceremonier även under festivalen sedan 1819 med tävlingar där bland annat den bästa poeten koras. Dessa ritualer uppfanns av Iolo Morganwg när han grundade organisationen 1792 som han förmodat baserade på verksamheten inom den gamla keltiska druidismen.. Dessa ceremonier tas på högsta allvar och prisutdelningen är höjdpunkten under festivalsveckan. Prisutdelningen hålls av ärkedruiden som utropar vinnaren och använder dennes bardnamn, vilket gör att ingen vet vem vinnaren är förrän han reser sig upp och eskorteras till scenen.

Dessa ceremonier hålls inom en ring av stenar, de så kallade gorseddstenarna (Cerrig yr Orsedd) som vanligtvis förs dit från i närheten. Sådana stencirklar finnes överallt runt om i Wales och visar att eisteddfoden har hållits där. Detta är mycket kostsamt och 2005 var stenarna gjorda av plast. Andra tävlingar som hålls är till exempel cerdd dant (strängsång), där den tävlande med någon minuts förberedelse ska spela ett känt stycke på sin harpa samtidigt som han sjungande improviserar en helt annan melodi till en dikt, som liksom musikstycket tilldelas med kort varsel.

På festivalsområdet är huvudbyggnaden den stora paviljongen med huvudscenen. Andra byggnader är pabell lên (litteraturpaviljongen), neuadd ddawns (danssalongen), Pabell wyddoniaeth a thechnoleg (Teknik- och vetenskapspaviljongen), pabell y dysgwyr (elevens paviljong), minst en teater och hundratals stondinau (stånd). I dessa byggnader ställer olika organisationer och affärer ut och även säljer. Sedan 2004 är alkohol tillåtet på festivalsområdet. Tidigare var inte alkohol tillåtet.

Festivalsorten varierar mellan att vara en plats i södra Wales, och en i norra. Platsen meddelas officiellt ett år i förväg, men på platsen arrangeras eisteddfoden före det, och festivalsorten är ofta känd två eller tre år i förväg. De senaste åren har man försökt att locka icke-kymrisktalande till tillställningen vilket har ökat antalet besökare och även vinsten.

Sackatoga Stable is an American Thoroughbred horse racing syndicate in Saratoga Springs, New York. They are best known as the owners of 2003 Kentucky Derby and Preakness winner Funny Cide and 2020 Belmont Stakes and Travers Stakes winner Tiz the Law.

The stable is an ownership syndicate where the public can buy minor ownership shares in thoroughbred horses. The name Sackatoga is a portmanteau of Sackets Harbor and Saratoga Springs; Sackets Harbor for the original hometown of Operating Manager, Jack Knowlton, and Saratoga Springs for his current hometown and location of Sackatoga Stable's home office.

Initially a partnership with Jack Knowlton as a managing partner since 1995, Sackatoga Stables became an LLC in 2006, now led by Jack Knowlton and Ed Mitzen, with Everard and Tagg also involved. The stable now creates ownership syndicates which have owned and raced many horses over the years, focusing in races with value-added purses for New York-bred horses.

The stable works with horse trainer Barclay Tagg and his team. They usually purchase yearlings and two-year-olds in training which are shipped to New Episode Training Center in Ocala, Florida owned by Tony Everard. At New Episode, they obtain their initial training and then go to Tagg for race competition.

Horses
Sackatoga Stable are notable on focusing New York State bred horses.

Funny Cide, winner of the 2003 Kentucky Derby and Preakness and third in the Belmont, was purchased after Knowlton asked Tagg to "find them a good horse." Tagg recommended Funny Cide, as Tagg had seen then-owner Tony Everard buy the colt for $50,000 at a 2001 sale. Tagg had wanted to buy the colt, but he had not found a client who would meet Everard's asking price.

After a mare owned by Sackatoga, Bail Money, was claimed for $62,500 at Gulfstream Park, the consortium was able to swing the price. Tagg then purchased the gelding for $75,000 in a private transaction in March, 2002.

Following Funny Cide's win, the stable owned and raced a significant number of other horses, primarily in New York.

In 2020, Sackatoga returned to the Triple Crown series with 2020 Belmont Stakes winner Tiz the Law, who became the first New York-bred to win the Belmont since Forester in 1882.

# 3 - EXPANDING "SCD" > SHOULD I EAT FEWER VEGETABLES & MORE FRUIT?
Q. I really like vegetables, but I don't each much fruit. Whenever I check my diet against the USDA pyramid recommendations I've had more vegetables than recommended, and less fruit. Does this really make a difference? Should I eat fewer vegetable?
A. No! You should not decrease your consumption of vegetables in order to eat more fruit! In fact, if we were absolutely forced to pick only one category of food here, we would pick vegetables over fruit every time. Although both of these food groups contain some fantastic antioxidant nutrients, fibers, vitamin C, and unique phytonutrients, you're not going to find significant protein, or diverse mineral sources, or diverse B vitamin sources, or many fat-soluble vitamin sources among the fruit. Alternatively, vegetables (as a group) can provide all of these nutrients in significant amounts. That being said, we would never want to choose only one of these food categories, because both can make such fantastic contributions to an optimal diet. In addition, when you compare fruits and vegetables to the other food groups, you'll find that they have many characteristics in common. Let's now take a closer look at some of the benefits that each of these food groups can provide.Both fruits and vegetables provide our body with the richest sources of water-soluble vitamins, which are required everyday. Unlike fat-soluble vitamins (such as vitamin E, A and D), which our bodies can store for future use, the water-soluble vitamins (vitamin C and the B vitamins - B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B12, and folic acid), are needed every single day for our bodies to function optimally since they can't be stored, or can only be stored in very small amounts. Vitamins are called essential nutrients because our bodies cannot produce them, and the best way to obtain them is through the foods that you eat.
Both fruits and vegetables also provide a rich source of newly discovered health-promoting phytonutrients (plant nutrients), such as carotenoids, flavonoids and organic acids (such as ellagic acid), which act as powerful antioxidants and are responsible for much of their coloration. That being said, some may contain phytonutrients not found in vegetables. For example an orange has more than 170 phytonutrients in its color, skin, oil, pulp, and flavor, which may protect your health, some of which are unique to oranges.
Health-promoting flavonoid phytonutrients called anthocyanins provide fruits, as well as some vegetables, with their red and purple coloration. Blueberries, plums, strawberries, apples, oranges, pears all have lustrous shades of red and purple signifying their high anthocyanin content. These phytonutrients act as powerful antioxidants that help reduce the effects of harmful free radical activity and the risk of disease. Again, there may be some of these phytonutrients that are available only in particular fruits.
Fruits also contain special enzymes that can help with digestion, which are not found in any other type of food. Papaya, for example, provides the enzyme papain, while bromelain is the well-known enzyme we get from pineapple.
While fruits and vegetables contain some similar nutrients, there are ones found in each food group that are unique. Therefore, it would be optimal if you can find some fruits that you can enjoy. If you are generally healthy and are meeting your nutrient needs by your present day diet then concerning yourself over a few daily servings of fruit while you are enjoying an abundance of vegetables may not be necessary; should you have more specific concerns about the details of your diet, we would suggest you consult with a licensed healthcare practitioner skilled in nutrition who can provide you with insights on how to best meet your individual dietary and health goals.

Editors ensure the written quality of print and online publications. Their duties might include reading manuscripts, making sure that a writer's formatting fits house style guidelines, correcting grammatical or factual errors and making suggestions for improvement. They may also be responsible for selecting articles or manuscripts for publication, assisting with design layout and overseeing other aspects of publication.
Editors typically work closely with authors throughout the editing and publishing process. Although editors' jobs can be very rewarding, with seeing their work come to final publication, there are many stressors involved, too. Hours can be very long, including nights and weekends, especially when a deadline hovers. Additionally, those working as freelance editors must continually pursue more work and may need to adjust to new job environments on a regular basis.
Editorial assistant: This might be the first editing job that you get in the field of editing. An editorial assistant does what other editors won't or don't have time to do and supports the editorial staff. The work includes editing copy, proofreading, checking for accuracy, researching, and liaising with others. The actual amount of editing will vary according to the industry and employer, but this type of position eventually leads to bigger and better editing jobs.
Copy editor: This editing job involves checking text for spelling, grammar, and punctuation errors, ensuring smooth syntax, and applying style. Copyediting is rules-based and very mechanical. Copy editors are employed by organizations such as newspapers, magazines, publishing companies, public relations firms, and advertising agencies.
publishing companies, public relations firms, and advertising agencies.
Managing editor: A managing editor is a senior member of an editorial team who is in charge of day-to-day operations. This editing job consists of many responsibilities, ranging from making daily decisions that affect the entire editorial team, such as scheduling, adjusting deadlines, and enforcing editorial policies and procedures, to editing content.
Editor-in-chief (or executive editor): This is the top editing job. The role of an editor-in-chief is all-encompassing and includes such responsibilities as setting editorial tone, direction, and policies; strategic planning; budgeting; and representing the employing organization in the public realm. An editor-in-chief is ultimately responsible for the final product put out by the employing organization.
Senior editor: Managing teams of editors is the main task associated with this editing job. A senior editor oversees content creation, ensures that style rules are followed and quality standards are met, sets deadlines, ensures editing is completed in a timely and effective manner, edits, and is responsible for ensuring overall consistency and accuracy.
Technical editor: A technical editor has very specific knowledge and edits very specific documents of a more complex nature, such as clinical protocols and manuals. This editing job necessitates collaborating with researchers and subject matter experts to ensure accuracy.
These are just some of the editing jobs that are available. There are also editing jobs—such as video editor, film editor, photo editor, and sound editor—that require more specific skills. So, if you are interested in becoming an editor, do a bit of research to find out exactly what it takes!
There isn't a degree or education requirement to being an editor, but with little predicted job growth you increase your chances with at least a bachelor's degree. English, journalism or communications are all appropriate choices, but any liberal arts degree is a good choice, especially with a concentration in writing. While in college, find other opportunities that will give you newspaper experience, such as working for the college newspaper or an internship.
Students interested in a career as a newspaper editor usually need, at minimum, an associate's degree. While a 2-year degree from a community college can be enough for entry into the newspaper editing field, some employers will only hire graduates with a liberal arts degree from a 4-year college or university. Liberal arts degree programs generally require courses in journalism, creative writing, political science, mass media and history.

Copper and cotton: If you are looking to move away from the traditional red and green Christmas hues this year, a copper and cotton arrangement may be for you. The softness of the alabaster garden rose, white anemone and cotton keeps things light and cozy, while the bay laurel and cedar will evoke the usual warm holiday feelings.
Pink tones: A predominately pink floral arrangement is another chance to stray from the more traditional colors, while still capturing the essence of the holiday. Mixing in pink tones such as skimmia and mini cymbidiums with Douglas fir and red peonies gives your bouquet the best of both worlds, and will look great at the center of your table for this year's Christmas dinner.
Christmas elegance: Alternatively, you might be interested in non-traditional flowers, but still want to highlight the classic red and green Christmas colors. An arrangement that includes red peonies, red ranunculus, red anemone, burgundy dahlias and seeded eucalyptus will do just that. With this collection of elegant flowers, the look will also add a touch of class to all of your holiday festivities.
Earth tones: For a more understated look that plays on neutral earth tones, try a collection of caramel antique garden roses, gold roses, wild crab apples, sea star fern and silver dollar eucalyptus. This arrangement will create an easygoing woodsy and rustic vibe for your gathering.
Tablescape flowers: Dahlias, anemone, spray roses and scented geraniums aren't your typical Christmas flowers, but the pleasant aroma they emit will keep a smile on everyone's face this season. Although this arrangement looks great as a table centerpiece at any time of the year, it will do a great job of keeping the mood uplifted during the holidays.
Green and white with red accents: Instead of making red the focal point of the arrangement, try out a collection of flowers that highlights red as an accent piece with a green and white palette. To achieve this look, select flowers such as silver dollar and seeded eucalyptus, dahlias and succulents, while working in a fresh bouquet of roses.
For help creating a memorable floral arrangement this year, pay us a visit at The Delicate Daisy – House of Flowers.

Many moons ago I was part of a year-long study group with Brugh Joy, an amazing spiritual teacher. We were given an exercise to get to know our ancestors and family, and write about it. I painted it. I painted portraits of people gone, people I had never met — my paternal grandparents and dad — and, as it relates to this post, my siblings. On the people I had never met I was to meditate to find what I knew about them, petition my dreams, and in my case, sketch. I learned a lot about those that were dead. When my mom saw the paintings of the people I had not met or didn't know hardly at all, after I explained some of the symbols I used, she said I had caught them. Possibly I heard stories unconsciously; who knows?
At the time I was only painting about a year, but I already loved painting BIG.
I like painting a series; then your paintings tell a story. Mine tells the story of my crazy crazy family, colorful characters all, and many creatives! I always wished that the images could have been seen altogether in a gallery or even at my home by everyone living, but that was impossible. Most were eventually given to the family member.
Below are the four canvases I painted of my brothers and I.

These take my breath away, Katie! Using symbols for portraits so so creative and has inspired me to think about my own family (also crazy) in this way. As always, thank you for sending your wonderful work out into the world. You're a true visionary!

Dreams are successions of images, ideas, emotions, and sensations that occur involuntarily in the mind during certain stages of sleep.[1] The content and purpose of dreams are not definitively understood, though they have been a topic of scientific speculation and a subject of philosophical and religious interest throughout recorded history. The scientific study of dreams is called oneirology. Scientists believe that birds, reptiles, and other mammals also dream.[2]
Dreams mainly occur in the rapid-eye movement (REM) stage of sleep—when brain activity is high and resembles that of being awake. REM sleep is revealed by continuous movements of the eyes during sleep. At times, dreams may occur during other stages of sleep. However, these dreams tend to be much less vivid or memorable.[3]
Dreams can last for a few seconds, or as long as 20 minutes. People are more likely to remember the dream if they are awakened during the REM phase. The average person has three to five dreams per night, but some may have up to seven dreams in one night. The dreams tend to last longer as the night progresses. During a full eight-hour night sleep, most dreams occur in the typical two hours of REM.[4]
In modern times, dreams have been seen as a connection to the unconscious. They range from normal and ordinary to overly surreal and bizarre. Dreams can have varying natures, such as frightening, exciting, magical, melancholic, adventurous, or sexual. The events in dreams are generally outside the control of the dreamer, with the exception of lucid dreaming, where the dreamer is self-aware. Dreams can at times make a creative thought occur to the person or give a sense of inspiration.[5]
Opinions about the meaning of dreams have varied and shifted through time and culture. Dream interpretations date back to 5000–4000 BC. The earliest recorded dreams were acquired from materials dating...
...Dreams can be fascinating, exciting, terrifying or just plain weird. Dreams have fascinated philosophers for thousands of years, but only recently have dreams been subjected to empirical research and concentrated scientific study. Chances are that you've often found yourself puzzling over the mysterious content of a dream, or perhaps you've wondered why you dream at all. Dreams can be mysterious, but understanding the meaning of our dreams can be downright baffling. The content of our dreams can shift suddenly, feature bizarre elements or frighten us with terrifying imagery. The fact that dreams can be so rich and compelling is what causes many to believe that there must be some meaning to our dreams. Why do we dream? Some researchers suggest that dreams serve no real purpose, while others believe that dreaming is essential to mental, emotional and physical well-being. Although there is not much agreement on why we dream there are some interesting theories around.
One possibility is that our minds are running us through the worst-case scenario during sleep. Disaster preparation you could say.
For example if a new mother was to dream of losing her baby she is rehearsing what it would feel like for that to actually happen. So our dreams are just fire drills? Another possibility is that dreaming is actually aiding learning. Some researchers have found that performance on physical tasks is actually enhanced by dreaming about it. Whatever the reason for why...
...Dreams Dreams have been objects of boundless fascination and mystery for humankind since the beginning of time. These nocturnal vivid images seem to arise from some source other than our ordinary conscious mind. They contain a mixture of elements from our own personal identity, which we recognize as familiar along with a quality of `others' in the dream images that carries a sense of the strange and eerie. The bizarre and nonsensical characters and plots in dreams point to deeper meanings and contain rational and insightful comments on our waking situations and emotional experiences. The ancients thought that dreams were messages from the gods. The cornerstone of Sigmund Freud's infamous psychoanalysis is the interpretation of dreams. Freud called dream-interpretation the via reggia, or the royal road to the unconscious, and it is his theory of dreams that has best stood the test of time over a period of more than seventy years (Many of Freud's other theories have been disputed in recent years). Freud reportedly admired Aristotle's assertion that dreaming is the activity of the mind during sleep (Fine, 1973). It was perhaps the use of the term activity that Freud most appreciated in this brief definition for, as his understanding of the dynamics of dreaming increased, so did the impression of ceaseless mental activity differing in quality from that of ordinary waking life (Fine, 1973). In fact, the quality of mental activity during sleep differed so radically from what we......
...If You Can Dream It, You Can Do It! "I have heard it said that the first ingredient of success is to dream a great dream" – John A. Appleman How often do you dream or aspire? What do you do dream of? Why do people struggle to act upon their dreams? Is it fear or failure, insecurity in their abilities or chalk it up to wishful thinking that holds them back? These are questions that I often ask my students all the time. In return I offer, "Isn't amazing how people only dream of greatness?" I have never heard of anyone dreaming of failure or aspiring to be unsuccesful. Failure does not plau any part in dreaming. It is the dreamer that instills failure, not the dream. I have read of many very successful dreamers that failed numerous times before they experienced success. The difference is that failure was not going to end their dreams onlu motivate them to dream bigger. Dreaming is the easy part. Acting on the dream is harder. Recognize that dream is a journey. On the simplest level, it takes commitment, time, desire, and courage. But rarely is something great easily realized. I challenge everyone to reach for your dream. Do not be afraid to dream. If you can dream it, you can do it! Many of the people that impacted history came from humble beginnings. We can easily look to the Bible to discover humble greatness. Moses immediately comes to mind. He stuttered and God chose him to speak to Pharaoh. He felt inadequate and unable to achieve the greatness......

Dream Dreams are something we all experience every night, whether we remember them or not. 1/3 of your life is spent sleeping, and in an average life time you would have spent about 5 years of it dreaming and in that time, you all will experience thousands of dreams. In the next five or so minutes I'm going to tell you the most I can about dreams. . There are numerous theories about dreams, but whomever you are, where ever you live, you will dream. Whether it's a good dream or a nightmare is up to your mind, but there must be some reasoning behind dreams, right? Everyone may know the main idea of a dream, but few may know that the explanations behind dreams are far more intricate than it just being a simple random thought in your mind. Can you remember the last dream you had? Maybe you could fly or were falling down an endless dark tunnel. Perhaps you were awakened by a horrific dream in the middle of the night Sigmund Freud's Theory 1 - Finding an unused room What it means: The rooms in a house represent different aspects of your character, so finding an unused room suggests that you're discovering a talent that you were previously unaware of 2 - Out-of-control vehicle The vehicle represents your ability to make consistent progress toward a specific objective, so in waking life, you may feel that you don't have enough control over your road to success. 3- Falling What it means: Feeling yourself falling in a dream indicates......
...dreaming. What are dreams? This question has fascinated the human race throughout history. From the Ancient Greeks and Romans, to Sigmund Freud in the late 1800's, till now, people have queried what the mystical stories that play out in the sleeping mind are and why we have them. The Sumerians in Mesopotamia left evidence of dreams dating back to 3100 BC. According to these stories, gods and kings, like the 7th century BC scholar-king Assurbanipal, paid close attention to dreams. In his archive of clay tablets, some accounts of the story of the legendary king Gilgamesh were found (Seligman). The Mesopotamians believed that the soul, or some part of it, moves out from the body of the sleeping person and actually visits the places and people the dreamer sees in their sleep. Sometimes the god of dreams is said to carry the dreamer. Babylonians and Assyrians divided dreams into "good," which were sent by the gods, and "bad," sent by demons. They also believed that their dreams were omens and prophecies. In ancient Egypt, as far back as 2000 BC, the Egyptians wrote down their dreams on papyrus. People with vivid and significant dreams were thought blessed and were considered special. Ancient Egyptians believed that dreams were like oracles, bringing messages from the gods. They thought that the best way to receive divine revelation was through dreaming and so they would induce dreams. Egyptians would go to sanctuaries and sleep on special "dream beds" in hope of......
...Dreams. Everyone has them, regardless of our race, religion, or gender, we all dream. For centuries people have been trying to figure out whether their dreams mean anything. However, after thousands of years of research, we still don't know that much about them.Today, I will be explaining to you what we do know about the mysterious realm of dreams and what your dreams could be telling you. What are dreams? The Oxford Dictionary definition of dreams is: A series of thoughts, images, and sensations occurring involuntarily in a person's mind during sleep. Dreams mainly occur in the rapid-eye movement (REM) stage of sleep—when brain activity is high and is the same as when you are awake. REM sleep is revealed by continuous movements of the eyes during sleep. Dreams that occur outside of this stage tend to be less vivid and memorable. Some things you may not know about dreams: If you wake up during a dream in the REM stage you are more likely to remember what you are dreaming The average person has three to five dreams per night, but some may have up to seven dreams in one night. The length of a dream can vary; they may last for a few seconds, or approximately 20–30 minutes. There are actually people who like dreaming and dreams so much that they never want to wake up. They want to continue on dreaming even during the day, so they take an illegal and extremely potent hallucinogenic drug called Dimethyltryptamine. It is actually only an isolated and synthetic form of......
...what are dreams * a series of thoughts, images, and sensations occurring in a person's mind during sleep. * source:www.howstuffworks.com * date: February 13 2013 * We've all been there -- dead asleep, caught up in the middle of a cinematic dream that feels so real you think you've actually experienced it, even after waking. Maybe it was a nightmare that left you in a cold sweat, heart pounding. Or if you're lucky, it's a liaison with your favorite movie star. Sigmund Freud believed that dreams are a window into our unconscious, and some studies indicate that he may have been onto something. For example, in one study, amnesiacs reported dreaming about activities that the scientists knew the patients had participated in before they'd gone to sleep -- even though the amnesiacs had no memory of those activities, outside of dreaming about them. This validates Freud's theory to a certain degree, but there are hundreds of competing theories about what dreams are and what their purpose is. * So what are dreams? Strictly speaking, dreams are images and imagery, thoughts, sounds and voices, and subjective sensations experienced when we sleep. This can include people you know, people you've never met, places you've been, and places you've never even heard of. Sometimes they're as mundane as recalling events that happened earlier in the day. They can also be your deepest and darkest fears and secrets, and most private fantasies. There's no limit to what the mind can......

Kath's time set is calmer but still has problems with her parent thanks to the car accident her brother was in. Kathy, she has short black hair with a belly button ring, which surprises her, but not in a good way. The only thing that every time set has in common is this guy named Luke, who's following her during this realities, that feel like dreams to both of them.

...The Dream. Copyright 2007 Eve Care I had a dream... One day I would open my eyes or wake up and I would no longer need smoking to keep me calmed and grounded and in that state of comfort. I would be cured. I would then walk to the trash bin with the smokes I had on hand and ditch them, along with the old habit with total good ridence and gratitude that I finally had smoked enough to cure myself. Wow. What a lie. And that was really true. I did have that dream. I dreamt it wherever I'd go. And it didn't matter where I went. I always needed a smoke. And with every smoke I had I would wonder, will this one be my last? Will I finally have enough in me to cure once and for all? It was also a way of holding onto a fantasy. Dreams do come true, but not in the way you may think they do sometimes. My dream of being smoke-free came true, but not in the way I dreamed it would. I had the most illusive dream. It is much like, the American Dream. Because each person is different and have different ideas about how to live an ethical way of life without damaging life around us now, and it is us who need to make the change, to be that change, we wish to see in the world. There are lots of lies that are told to us throughout our lives. most of mine came in the first 30 years of my life. It is hard to break free from all of those lies. They have become quite ingrained within us and when we go to release something that we have healed, another thing pops up and thus continues......
...and visualizing the following day's interview repeatedly in my mind. Since that was mostly the only (and last) thought I had before entering my REM cycle that night, the thought had continued into my unconscious state. My dream consisted of the next days events, mainly the interview. Vividly, I went through the routine of waking up to my alarm, getting showered and dressed, eating a balanced breakfast, and arriving to the office on time. Then, the dream had skipped forward to the moment the employer looking over my resume and asking me a set of questions. Afterwards, it had rewound the interview over and over again giving me different outcomes and questions each time showing the various possibilities. When I woke up I couldn't believe that it had been a dream it felt so real but thanks to the dream it prepared me for the real deal. I felt more confident and prepared to bite the bullet and get the job that I deserve. Re-enacting my dream, I woke up to my preset alarm almost to the exact routine I mentally prepared for: got showered and dressed (in the same outfit consisting of a dress shirt and pants I saw in my dream), ate a balanced breakfast, and arrived to the office on time remembering the possibilities of questions I was going to receive. This dream was an example of sleep fueling creativity and needing a nights rest to gather ones thoughts together. The dream's assistance with recollecting the responses I've prepared for the interviewer's inquiries and fortunately......
...Bag of Dreams campaign started as a vision developed by the business communication class of Cebu's Ateneo Graduate School of Business and inspired by Professor Teresa Maria A. Custodio. At first the project seemed daunting, since the class was given no more than a month and a half to develop, organize, and implement the project. Ultimately we bonded together, elected two leaders and later on broke the class in to sub groups and assigned group heads for tasks that fit their skill sets. As a class, we decided education as our advocacy and voted to target the basic facility we can give students to jump-start their school year. Most organizations donate books and classrooms. We realized that without the basic materials needed to study, students wont go to school at all. We then went in to research as to what materials were needed by students, and found the exact mix students needed to perform. We selected the San Roque Elementary School in Talisay City, Cebu as our beneficiary because it had the right amount of students enrolled and came highly recommended by the education superintendent. We then went in to deeper investigation and found that the school was in much need of help. This further inspired us to perform better. What started as a difficult task slowly and surely became something we would do anything to achieve. And with only a month to organize and prepare, the bag of dreams campaign felt like a dream to accomplish. A month later and what seemed like a dream to......
...Like most young girls, I grew up dreaming of my wedding day. I would always picture myself standing in front of my family and friends in a beautiful, white gown. It felt like a fairytale with the typical happy ending where you would " ride away into the orange sunset". The vision was so clear that I could see the man of my dreams staring back at me. As I grew older, I realized the fairytale wedding and husband I always dreamed about was nothing more than a fantasy. It all began when I first met my prince charming at 16 years old. We met during the time of the evacuations for Hurricane Katrina disaster in New Orleans, LA. The high school I was attending had a lot of refugees enrolling in our school from there. When they did arrive, the environment of our school completely changed. There were fights between Houstonians and newly enrolled New Orleans Refugees, which, became routine at school. It seemed like every other day we had lockdowns because someone had weapons on school grounds or it was a gang related shooting. At that point, I was ready to leave the school because it was scary not knowing what could happen each day . Then one day, I came across a young man in my homeroom class. I could tell he was from New Orleans by the obvious accent. He was ......
...Dreams: What are dreams and what do they mean? Shanice Monteith The University of West Florida Abstract Dreams that take place while we sleep are one of the most fascinating aspects of human consciousness and are common among all of us. We all ask the same question, what is a dream? A researcher by the name of Sigmund Freud's theory of dreams gives us a good insight about dreams. His theory is one of the best-known models of dream interpretation. There are also other types of theories that suggest to us what a dream is. Some say that dreams are simply random firing of memory neurons. Others say differently. I will try to show both sides of this controversy. This paper will examine what a dream is and what people interpret a dream to mean. It should also give you a broader perspective of dreams, go into detail of different theories regarding dreams and give you more insight of such a fascinating but complicated topic. There is also the case of nightmares which will be discussed briefly and why they occur when we dream. What are dreams and what do they mean There have numerous studies on what is a dream. A lot of controversy has happened because of this. Some people say it could be just simply random firing of memory neurons as stated earlier but not everyone thinks the same way. Others say there is a lot of detail that could go into finding out more about this topic so they begin to do more research to come up with different ideas about such a debating......
...Caleb Crawford Psychology Period 6 Dream Essay A dream is a period of spontaneous brain activity usually lasting from about 5-40 minutes that occurs during sleep several times a night usually about 90 minute intervals dreams allow a person to take a closer look into his their mind and themselves sometimes dreams act as a way to discover yourself, dreams can be used to solve all different types of problems. There are also certain types of dreams. There are fantasy, daydream and waking dreams. There are also lucid dreams, nightmares and night terrors. There are also certain stages in the dream cycle. In the first stage, your body temperature drops, your eyes close and your brain waves begin regular alpha rhythms, indicating a relaxed state. In many of my dreams, what happen in my dreams would happen the next day or within the following days. I think the reason for this is because when I would wake up and remember my dreams threw out that day I would be thinking about those dreams I had, had so the more I thought about it the more I would want to make those dreams come true. Like for example Tuesday night I had dreamed about a project I had due the next day in English and my dream was me presenting my PowerPoint and in my dream I had done very good on my essay. We were suppose to present for 5 minutes and I did like 6 minutes and I answered all the questions that my classmates had and I did very good on the whole project in my dream.

This nearly 4-foot-tall, two-horned altar from the site of Tell es-Safi (Gath of the Philistines) suggests the origins of the Philistines are to be sought in the Aegean world.
The excavations at Tell es-Safi/Gath, the site of Gath of the Philistines mentioned in the Bible (e.g., 1 Samuel 6:17), have produced many fascinating finds,* and the summer of 2011 was no exception.
While uncovering an impressive destruction level dating to the second half of the ninth century B.C.E., when Gath was the largest of the five cities of the Philistines and perhaps the largest city in the Land of Israel during the Iron Age, excavators found an exceptionally well preserved horned altar reminiscent of the Israelite horned altars described in the Bible (Exodus 27:1–2; 1 Kings 1:50).
Had it not been for a stroke of luck, the horned altar may never have been discovered. Like most archaeological digs, the Tell es-Safi/Gath excavation leaves unexcavated "balks" between the excavation squares, thereby allowing easier access to the squares as well as providing a profile view of the excavated layers. In the winter of 2010/2011, however, strong rainstorms caused some of the balks to collapse.
Our free eBook Ten Top Biblical Archaeology Discoveries brings together the exciting worlds of archaeology and the Bible! Learn the fascinating insights gained from artifacts and ruins, like the Pool of Siloam in Jerusalem, where the Gospel of John says Jesus miraculously restored the sight of the blind man, and the Tel Dan inscription—the first historical evidence of King David outside the Bible. When the team came back to the field in July 2011, one of their first priorities was to clean up and straighten the collapsed balks. As they cleaned one of the balks in Area D (in the lower city), they came upon an unusually shaped stone object just 10 inches below the surface. Work was immediately stopped as they probed further, and, lo and behold, one of the horns of the altar appeared. Once they realized what they had discovered, the team began the slow, delicate process of excavating the entire horned altar.
The horned altar stands nearly 3.5 feet high and measures just over 1.5 feet on each side. These dimensions more or less match the dimensions given in the Bible (Exodus 30:2) for the Israelite incense altar of the Tabernacle (though this altar shows no signs of having been used to burn incense). Moreover, the decorative features of the altar, including its horns and the groove and raised band of the base, are similar to Israelite altars described in the Bible (Exodus 27:2), as well as other Iron Age altars that have been found throughout the southern Levant.
The fact that the Tell es-Safi/Gath horned altar has only two horns may have to do with the cultural origins of the Philistines. As Louise Hitchcock, senior staff member of the Tell es-Safi/Gath excavations, has suggested, the very motif of the horned altar in the Levant may have been influenced by earlier Minoan "horns of consecration," symbolic representations of the horns of the sacred bull in Minoan culture. In fact, there is an altar from the Late Bronze Age site of Myrtous Pigadhes in Cyprus that also has only two horns. The unique horned altar from Tell es-Safi/Gath, the earliest stone altar ever found from the land of the Philistines, may be another indication of the Aegean influences on early Philistine culture and quite possibly a hint to their origins.
