I have been an Energy Medicine practitioner for twenty years. From the work, I have learned the importance of keeping my vessel clean. That means actively doing my inner work. It means catching myself when I am making up stories in my head. It means yearning for clarity and raising my awareness.
In my own healing process, I have learned to live vibrantly and boldly. I am attuned to my physical and energetic body. I strive to embody integrity and truth. I express creatively and live joyfully. I care deeply about my relationships and I am well loved.
It is my calling to be deeply present with my clients and reflect back to them their radiance and ease their shame and self-judgment. I am intrigued by the beautiful mysteries that are revealed as sense is made from the seemingly unrelated.
I move through life with curiosity, an open mind, and compassion. I allow myself to be changing, strengthening, and emerging.
People fascinate me with their unique idiosyncrasies. I am intrigued by what makes them excited and what makes them pause. There is beauty and worth in everyone.
Plants teach me lessons, like the Bermuda grass in my garden teaching me about persistence and tenacity. Flowering plants are joyful gifts that please my senses with delicate scents and rich hues.
Colors nourish me, the subtle and the saturated. I like what happens when they sit next to each other; their defining edge can give rise to harmony or tension. I love colors without their names attached.
My work is gratifying. I am grateful to be using and continually developing my gifts and sharing them with my community. I enjoy integrating a wide range of information and creatively offering it to my clients in the ways that are most appropriate for their journeys.
I'd like to offer you support on your journey and reflect back to you your own brilliance. I have tools in my tool box to share with you. Trust your timing.
When you are ready to journey, call me at 479-409-4912 or send me an email.

I was born in Castelvenere (BN) 1970 but Milan was my home before coming to the Usa. It was the autumn of 1988 when, sitting in front of the microphone, I flicked a switch and the first record started playing on a Radio Station. It was "Tomorrow People" by Ziggy Marley. After that I was a journalist, an Artistic Director for CGD/Warner, Sony Music and a publisher for Sony Atv.
I have worked in music since I was a teenager. Dj, radio host, journalist, A&R or Publisher. It's always been a lot of fun. But is it fun to work or it is my work fun? I'm a bit confused and that confusion is the meaning of my life.
New challenges are essential to my life. Living and working in NYC was the goal. I thought it was time to take the risk and jump. I wanted to try to be a New Yorker. And, yes: a hot Pretzel from a street vendor in the early morning was a big attraction too!
On Christmas 2008, I was invited for an Irish coffee on a terrace in Midtown. It was like a movie. I felt a strong energy coming from viewing the city from the top of the building. The lights of the Chrysler Building were like a vision. Now I live in Midtown in a building with a large terrace. Every night I speak with my friend Chrysler and everything he says is goodnight to me…. I'm the luckiest guy, aren't I?
Music in NYC is everywhere: in the recording studios, in my office, in the hundreds of clubs. But music, the real music is among the people: in the train during the day, mixed with the sound of the city. I could not resist the call, for me NY has become a wonderful necessity… So, I chose a recording studio, my Terrace with a view on my office and the Park and finally a special sidewalk on Chelsea. What else?
Your thought about this project, ITALIANY.US.
ITALIANY is an opportunity for Italians to show that we are more than the stereotypes. It is a window on the reality of a "bella" Italian community in the US.
I am not sure I am an ambassador. But I'm passionate about my work and I deeply respect my roots. I am here to try to create a connection between Italian and American Songwriting. I am fascinated by the ways songwriters with different cultural background work with melodies and lyrics. And I am so excited to witness the ways they come together to collaborate and create something completely new and exciting.

Building a Café from Scratch
Sen Phearum has achieved his goal of owning his own café.
Phoung Vantha
PHNOM PENH--Early in the morning, with a table full of customers sipping coffee, Sen Phearum reflected on how his business has grown in the last two years. As the owner of Café Cheangmai, Phearum has seen a steady increase in the number of customers, even as the number of coffee stands has also increased over the years. Phnom Penh is very much still developing its coffee culture and it's one that Phearum is keen to tap into.
Coffee wasn't what Phearum had initially had in mind after he graduated from high school in Bati District, Takeo Province in 2008. He had just moved to Phnom Penh to continue his studies in management, but by the time he reached his second year, it became apparent he needed a job to support himself.
"My first job was in marketing, but I didn't receive a salary, just a daily rate of around $6 per day," he said. "At that time he also gives up his school as that job required me to go to the province offend."
It was mid-2009 when he decided to resign from his marketing job and, after asking friend for advice, found a new job in 2011. By this point Phearum was enrolled at the Vanda Institute, studying accounting and so he needed a job that was flexible around his studies—this is how he got into coffee.
"I got a job to work in a café with no experience and it felt like I had started a new life," he recalled. "For the first three months, I was just cleaning tables and floors, but before long I was taking orders and making coffee," he said.
In his second year of working at the café, he became more engrossed with coffee and his love with the coffee industry grew—he knew he had to learn about all things related to coffee.
"The coffee business not only taught me about how to make a coffee, but many things; stock control, coffee age, management, but my accountancy class also helped me to understand how to control the stock and management in a coffee shop," he said.
In 2017, after more than seven years, he decided to stop working with the café and focused on starting his career as a freelance coffee adviser, aiming to help new start-ups in the coffee business.
"I planned to run my own café too, but I didn't have the money at the time," he said.
After one year as a freelancer adviser, he became confident with the coffee business. "I started run my business in 2019, my workplace gave me salary and knowledge, with nearly two years, my customers are increasing day by day."
"I quite sure that my coffee taste will satisfy customers, I want to build my own brand," he said. "It is unlike what people say, people think running a coffee business is easy because it is just like selling boiling water."
For Phearum, his seven years of experience and his love for coffee have helped him to follow his dreams of running his own business.

East Coast Squash Academy Commonwealth Games Squash Extravaganza 'gives whole new insight'
Sydney, NSW, Australia - April 16, 2018. The East Coast Squash Academy Commonwealth Games Squash Extravaganza saw more than a dozen people attend the 2018 Commonwealth Games on the Gold Coast.
The Extravaganza had a packed itinerary, running from Friday 6th April to Wednesday 11th April 2018. Participants had unparalleled access to players and witnessed behind-the-scenes doubles training from the Australian and English teams.
Pictured L-R: Nick Matthew, Jake Cohen and Daryl Selby
Attendees enjoyed the rare privilege of meeting former World Number 1, Nick Matthew, and current top 20 player, Daryl Selby.
They also had some of the best seats in the house for various matches, including the quarterfinals, semi-finals, bronze medal playoffs and gold medal matches.
Throughout the games, Academy director, Aaron Frankcomb, offered valuable insights on tactics, strategies, coaching and training techniques to all participants of the Extravaganza. Dr Marc Dussault also shared amazing insights into mental toughness, which has seen top players emerge triumphant from a position of certain defeat.
Lynda Kay, a gold package attendee, said, "For me, it was exactly what I wanted. The opportunity to sit with a pro and have clearly explained how the players are constructing a point, game and match. It gave me a whole new insight into the game."
Pictured: Labrador Squash Club and East Coast Squash Academy players after the intra-club squash tournament.

Participants played in an intra-club squash tournament with Labrador Squash Club. The East Coast Squash Academy won 4 matches to Labrador's 1. The matches were played in a very friendly but competitive spirit. The crowd was enthralled by Aaron Frankcomb's match against Jeff Osborne, both former PSA players.
Participants were glued to their seats on the movie night, which saw a screening of the Hashim Khan movie, 'Keep Eye on Ball: The Hashim Khan Story'. Khan, one of the all-time best players, has an incredible story to tell, one which sparked several discussions at the wonderfully catered dinner event that followed the movie.
The event concluded with the East Coast Squash Academy golf day, which saw the players visit the lovely Lakelands Golf Club for some enjoyable and entertaining golf.
Jack Goodman, a fellow gold package attendee, said, "East Coast Squash Academy did a great job organising accommodation, transport and food, and we wouldn't have changed a thing." Lynda Kay also said, "Everything from food and drink to accommodation to the stretch classes was amazing. The attention to detail went far beyond my expectations and the benefits to my squash game are immeasurable. Loved it, recommend it, want to repeat it!"
The East Coast Squash Academy:
Founded in 2013 when Aaron Frankcomb retired from the Professional Squash Tour, the East Coast Squash Academy set out to create a business model to expand the presence of squash within local communities surrounding squash centres.
The Academy's first location was at Willoughby Squash Club where Aaron Frankcomb was hired as the club's resident squash pro. The Academy produced some stellar results including: Attracting a handful of junior players with aspirations of going on the professional (PSA) tour. Its junior program had the biggest contingent of players on the NSW Squash Junior ranking list, with players on the NSW junior state teams, Australian junior teams and Australian senior players. The Academy has developed NSW and Australian Junior Champions. At its peak, the junior squash program boasted (pun intended!) over 500 children participating in weekly squads and training sessions. Memberships and participation in squads increased by 100% and 300% respectively and tournament registrations reached at an all-time high.
The Academy has been the home base to two full time senior players that reached careers highs of top 240 in the world on the Men's PSA Tour. Its best female professional reached a top world ranking of 106.
The Bondi Waverley Squash Club was the Academy's second location, with over 30 hours of coaching services per week were provided to increase court utilization and grow profits by leveraging unused off-peak times.
In 2016, The Academy expanded its reach with the following locations: Energize Health and Fitness, Norths Fitness, Sydney CBD Squash Club, Elanora Squash Club and Manly Squash Club.

Aaron Frankcomb:
Aaron Frankcomb was ranked in the top 100 professional squash players for 8 years, and for 4 of those years he was in the top 50, winning 4 PSA titles. He represented Australia at the 2010 Commonwealth Games, was a Junior Champion in all age groups including 2 times in the Under 19 category and holder of scholarships in the Tasmanian and Australian Institutes Of Sport. He now coaches professionally and remains Sydney's top ranked squash player and is still considered within the top 5 players in Australia.

How To Manage Injuries And Increase Your Longevity On Court
At East Coast Squash Academy we are always getting our clients to think long term in order to increase their longevity on the court.
Squash can be quite hard on the body with injuries commonly occurring around the lower extremity (hip, knee and ankle) and lumbar regions of the back (1). If we had a dollar every time someone asked for help treating a rolled ankle, painful knee or tight lower back then we would have a lot of loose change!
As we are not specialists in assessing and treating injuries (we are specialists in coaching the sport of squash), we often refer out to a physiotherapist that specialises in this kind of area. A physiotherapist's role is to "assess, diagnose, treat and prevent a wide range of health conditions and movement disorders" (2).
During his professional career, director Aaron Frankcomb considered seeing a physiotherapist as an "important aspect" of his overall training regime as it allowed him to "identify and manage structural weaknesses". Post career Aaron has continued to see a physiotherapist once a month for "prevention, alignment and management".
For this reason, we have compiled a list of physiotherapists that we would recommend to any of our clients in order stay healthy and on court longer.
Every physiotherapist listed has directly worked with The Academy and has successfully treated a number of our clientele and/or high performance athletes.

Headspace Charity Squash Extravaganza An Overwhelming Success
The Headspace Charity Squash Extravaganza raised more than $22,000 that attracted four of the world top 20 and six 2018 Commonwealth Games representatives to the Elanora Squash Centre on the Northern Beaches of Sydney on Saturday, the 24th of March, 2018.
Pictured (L-R): Aaron Frankcomb, Cameron Pilley, Donna Urquhart, Jake Cohen (Event Organiser), Joelle King, Paul Coll, Rex Hedrick and Zac Alexander.
The event was very generously sponsored by East Coast Squash Academy, Jack Goodman, David Fleming and Trevor Butt, three local Sydney squash players, who were able to have a hit with their favourite professional in attendance. This event takes Jake Cohen, the event's organiser, total amount raised for mental health charities to over $48,000.
The Extravaganza saw Paul Coll, Joelle King, Donna Urquhart, Cameron Pilley, Zac Alexander, Aaron Frankcomb and Rex Hedrick participate in front of more than 70 people at the Elanora Squash Centre.
"I loved watching the top quality squash on offer. I really enjoyed the event and the evening's festivities," declared Helen Zaman. "Event organiser Jake Cohen did a marvellous job of arranging the event. Being able to raise such a large amount for headspace is sensational."
Headspace is the National Youth Mental Health Foundation providing early intervention mental health services to 12-25 year olds, along with assistance to promote young peoples' wellbeing. This covers four core areas: mental and physical health, work and study support as well as alcohol substance abuse rehabilitation services. To contact headspace, please email info@headspace.org.au for any information or further details.
One in four young people have experienced a mental health issue in the past 12 months – a higher percentage than any other age group.
Alarmingly, suicide is the leading cause of death for young people, accounting for one third of all deaths in this age category.
Research shows that 75 per cent of mental health issues emerge before the age of 25. By treating these issues early, it has been shown that providing a holistic model of support, the risk of them developing into more serious problems is greatly decreased.
Headspace is proud to have provided over 1.5 million services through its centres, online and phone support helping more than a quarter million young people.
Headspace has been overwhelmingly effective, with 60 per cent of its clients showing significant improvement. The other 40 per cent are still on their journeys and are continuing to receive services, which we hope will prove equally beneficial for a long life of peace, serenity and joy.
Events like this combine social interaction with physical exertion and in the case of the professional players, the physical prowess and mental tenacity that we can all aspire to acquire.
"I'd like to thank all those involved in the event, especially the East Coast Squash Academy's Dr Marc Dussault and founder Aaron Frankcomb for MC'ing the squash matches and donating their speaker and appearances fees respectively. Also, I want to mention that an event of this size could not have been successful without Tim Wyres and Katherine Moore's amazing support and allow us to host the event at the Elanora Squash Centre, one of Sydney's premier sport venues." Jake Cohen said.

How much can we expect to learn from one person?
Paying close attention to user feedback during design iterations is a learning opportunity like none other. That's why every serious UX designer will consistently test their wireframes and apps with at least five users.
Finding five people to test with can often be a challenge, especially when you are doing several design iterations. Bugging five people with every iteration is not only a chore, but you start to hear the same things over and over.
The amount of feedback repetition is actually quite consistent. In fact, Nielsen Norman Group says you can get 33% of all your feedback from just one user. To discover all usability problems, they say you'll need to interview at least fifteen users. So where's the practical middle ground in this?
The answer is in distribution. Test with fewer users early on, then include more users in later iterations. In my project sprints, I stagger the scale as we move from testing wireframes to testing the actual product.
Reduction of redundancy is the number one reason for scaling the number of test users this way. You can be confident that you'll get 33% of your feedback from that first tester, as this feedback is likely to reflect your most glaring issues.
Cutting out all that noise in the beginning is essential if you want efficient testing. This also protects a major weak spot in your dev team. If you really want to get under a developer's skin, report the same defect multiple times, then run to a safe space.
My points above are mainly related to evaluating the usability of user experience features. When it comes to functional testing of technical requirements, that's another ball of wax. That's a case of objective versus subjective requirements.
For testing objective requirements we recommend none other than CapIO, Cerna's amazing automated testing framework.

Loaded with waffle flavor with a touch of syrup. A great all day vape for full flavor lovers. And an excellent choice for new vapers getting their taste buds back in shape. Enjoy!
First juice I've tried from altcig and its friggin delicious. You can taste waffles, butter, syrup. Will definitely be keeping this as a staple in my stash.
I'm in love with this flavor!!
I've tried a lot of e-liquid from other vendors but this has to be the best ever. It has a great throat hit, stellar vapor production and leaves me wanting to keep going back to it. You guys nailed it! I'm so glad to have found your company. I can't wait to try more flavors that you offer.
You GOTTA try this stuff!!
Waffles, syrup, and sometimes I swear I get a touch of butter. My house or car always smells like a waffle factory!
Probably my 2nd fav after Caramel Love, delicious waffley-sweet goodness! Just like that one this goes fast in my house :) tbese guys know how to do flavor!
Sent as a free sample and LOVE it! It isn't too sweet. Who doesn't like a Waffle? Ordering more right now.
Goodness every waffle i ever tried tasted like maple syrup and oh I received a sample with my order. When i decided to try it oh was i thrilled! This has that cake-like flavor of the waffle and the buttery goodness too! I am loving this one and i never imagined it would taste this good!! Thank you Altcig ! you did it again!!
This is REALLY GOOD!!! I can taste the waffles, butter and syrup. I have been vaping for 6 months and have ordered a lot of e liquid. For some reason I have never tasted waffle. Wow, I have been missing out until now. EXCELLENT!!!
When I phoned in my last order Sunny said they revamped their waffle so I chose that as a 6ml sampler. I'm soooo glad I did. You get the waffle and the syrup but it compliments each other. One flavor doesn't overpower another. This is one of my favorites. Everyone needs to try this flavor, you won't be disappointed.
wish there was a 10 star option!! simply amazing !
I have tried other suppliers for juice and was so disappointed every time. I ordered four small bottles of different flavors from this site and these generous folks gave me a free bottle of waffle flavor with my order. How sweet right?

Education is a mandatory issue for all of us which helps us to increase our knowledge level and through this way; we are able to gain maturity, logical and philosophical sense. Thus, this is the main thing with which we can lead our lives. Naturally, the education of their children is a big and vital issue for every parent. Who doesn't want to give their children the best possible education and to do that parents are always ready to accept every hurdle and tough situation. But, the most difficult stage arrives when the pupils go to attend their schools at the early childhood from when their education begins.
Why are the first days the toughest ones?
There are so many reasons behind that matter. After all, when a child is ready to attend brick and mortar organization for starting his or her academic days, the environment is completely unknown to that child. Before that, the child only sees those who are close to him or her and there is a natural tendency for that little one to not to accept the unfamiliar people. Here lies the greatest worries for the parents as the majority of children are not ready to accept the unknown ambience and persons too and that phase is so lengthy for many ones.
What should do to increase the interest level?
At the very beginning, try to be the friend of your little ones and never rebuke them when they are not interested in visiting schools. There can be many reasons behind their unwillingness which is not always possible for you to know. So, make friendship and strong bonding which will help you to read their minds. Thus, you can comprehend where the difficulty is and how to remove that obstacle.
Don't make them feeling burdened. Remember, they don't know the purpose and function of education and hence, you have to guide them in a playful method so that they may feel interested in learning. Use as many funny techniques as can be to enhance the excitement.
If they feel frightened, first find out the reasons for that and then try out different methods to remove the fear from their soft minds. If need be, you may consult a doctor also if the problem becomes long-lasting. Being a parent, you also encourage them and help them for making friendship with more numbers of pupils. Interest in companions will attract them towards schools.
Nowadays, working mothers don't get enough time for their children and this is also another big purpose for what students feel uneasy and uncomfortable and they also don't want to go to schools. To get rid of that a mother needs to spend much time with her babies or else give them surprises with many wondrous things.
These processes will certainly be helpful in the toughest days when your children get ready to make the first step to educate themselves.

Misc News/Press Release
The world's population continues to grow, albeit at a slower pace than at any time since 1950, owing to reduced levels of fertility. From an estimated 7.7 billion people worldwide in 2019, the global population could grow to around 8.5 billion in 2030, 9.7 billion in 2050, and 10.9 billion in 2100, says a reported "World Population Prospects 2019: Highlights" released by the Department of Economics and Social Affairs, United Nations.
Current projections indicate that India will surpass China as the world's most populous country around 2027, the report says.
India is expected to add nearly 273 million people between 2019 and 2050, while the population of Nigeria is projected to grow by 200 million. Together, these two countries could account for 23 per cent of the global population increase to 2050.
The hashtag #Population Control Law was trending on Twitter as the findings of the reports were published by media. The people were of the view that India needs to take immediate measures to control population explosion, which would put huge pressure on already exhausting resources of the country. The one-child policy was being suggested by several people as one possible measure that could be introduced by forming a new law.
As per the findings published in the report, disparate population growth rates among the world's largest countries will re-order their ranking by population size. China, with 1.43 billion people in 2019, and India, with 1.37 billion, have long been the two most populous countries of the world, comprising 19 and 18 per cent, respectively, of the global total in 2019. They are followed by the United States of America, with 329 million in 2019, and Indonesia, with 271 million.
After this re-ordering between 2019 and 2050, the ranking of the five largest countries is projected to be preserved through the end of the century, when India could remain the world's most populous country with nearly 1.5 billion inhabitants, followed by China with just under 1.1 billion, Nigeria with 733 million, the United States with 434 million, and Pakistan with 403 million inhabitants.
In 2019, around 40 per cent of the world's population lives in intermediate-fertility countries, where women have on average between 2.1 and four births over a lifetime. Average lifetime fertility of 2.1 live births per woman is roughly the level required for populations with low mortality to have a growth rate of zero in the long run. Intermediate-fertility countries are found in many regions, with the largest being India
Between 2019 and 2050, 55 countries or areas are expected to see their populations decrease by at least one per cent. In the largest of these, China, the population is projected to shrink by 31.4 million, or 2.2 per cent.
More than half of the projected increase in the global population up to 2050 will be concentrated in just nine countries: the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Egypt, Ethiopia, India, Indonesia, Nigeria, Pakistan, the United Republic of Tanzania, and the United States of America.
Another major finding of the report said that in 2018, for the first time in history, persons aged 65 years or over worldwide outnumbered children under age five. Projections indicate that by 2050 there will be more than twice as many persons above 65 as children under five. By 2050, the number of persons aged 65 years or over globally will also surpass the number of adolescents and youth aged 15 to 24 years.
This continued rapid population growth presents challenges for sustainable development. The 47 least developed countries are among the world's fastest-growing – many are projected to double in population between 2019 and 2050 – putting pressure on already strained resources and challenging policies that aim to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals and ensure that no one is left behind. For many countries or areas, including some Small Island Developing States, the challenges to achieving sustainable development are compounded by their vulnerability to climate change, climate variability and sea-level rise, the report said.

The GHNP and Tirthan Wildlife Sanctuary Ranked as Best Managed Protected Areas of India
Shimla-The Great Himalayan National Park and Tirthan Wildlife Sanctuary (WLS) have been ranked as the best managed protected areas in India. Sainj WLS has also been placed among the top five Sanctuaries.
Minister for Environment, Forest and Climate Change, Prakash Javadekar, on January 11 released Management Effectiveness Evaluation (MEE) of 146 National Park and Wildlife Sanctuaries in the Country. At present, India has a network of 903 Protected Areas in the country covering about 5% of the total geographic area of the country. The purpose of it was to assess the efficacy of Protected Areas, evaluation of management effectiveness.
The evaluation process was executed by the Wildlife Institute of India, Dehradun, in which nation-wide 146 National Parks and Wildlife Sanctuaries, including 13 protected areas of Himachal Pradesh, were assessed through a team of evaluators. The score is given for various parameters including staff position, provision of financial resources, degree of protection, peoples' participation and awareness of the communities towards the conservation values. Against a national average of 62 percent GHNP and Tirthan WLS scored a high of 84.17 percent while Sainj recorded 82.5 percent.
Currently, Himachal Pradesh has a network of 5 National Parks, 28 Wildlife Sanctuaries and 3 Conservation Reserves covering 8391.42 km2 which is 15 percent of the total geographical area of the state.

According to this Evaluation three of the top five best managed Protected Areas in the country are from Himachal Pradesh. However, the Evaluation also mentioned weaknesses in management in these National Parks and Wildlife Sanctuaries. (Scroll down for details info)

What is Management Effectiveness Evaluation (MEE)?
Protected area (PA) management effectiveness evaluation (MEE) is defined as the assessment of how well NP&WLS are being managed—primarily, whether they are protecting their values and achieving the goals and objectives agreed upon.
The term 'management effectiveness' reflects three main themes of PA management -design issues relating to both individual sites and PA systems, the adequacy and appropriateness of management systems and processes, and delivery of the objectives of NP&WLS, including conservation of values.
Management Effectiveness Evaluation (MEE) of Protected Areas (PAs) has emerged as a key tool for PA managers and is increasingly being used by governments and international bodies to understand the strengths and weaknesses of the protected area management systems.
MEE is a very important document that provides valuable guidance on various aspects of wildlife and protected area expand MEE of Marine Protected Areas. A new framework for MEE of Marine Protected Areas has been also jointly prepared by WII and MoEF&CC.
In recent years there has been a general concern amongst PA professionals and the public that many NP&WLS are failing to achieve their objectives and, in some cases, are actually losing the values for which they were established (Hockings et al. 2008).
As a result, improving the effectiveness of PA management has become a priority throughout the conservation community. Protected areas that are effectively managed generally lead to improved biodiversity outcomes.
However, only 20% (21,743 NP&WLS) of the total coverage of protected areas reported in the WDPA has been assessed for management effectiveness according to the Global Database on Protected Areas Management Effectiveness (UNEP-WCMC, IUCN and NGS 2018). The result indicated that only 17.5% of the countries have achieved the 60% score of management effectiveness (Coad et al. 2015).
Further, Javadekar also announced that from this year onwards 10 best National Parks, 5 coastal and Marine parks and top five Zoos in the country will be ranked and awarded every year.

To be able to follow through with the idea of an all-vegan closet, it is important to understand the true meaning of the vegan marking. Why? Because you need to know what to look for, what to avoid, and how to evaluate all the fashion and beauty brands that you are surrounded with.
The development and/or manufacture of the product, and where applicable its ingredients, must not involve, or have involved, testing of any sort on animals conducted at the initiative of the company or on its behalf, or by parties over whom the company has effective control.
There are also other national and international vegan markings, many of them you will find through animal rights organisations in your country.
A whole brand, but also one single product, can thus be vegan. Preferable are off course the vegan brands because they can guarantee that they do not, in any way, contribute to abuse of animals. But it is also important to know that you can always make the right choice and choose a garment that is vegan, even though the whole brand is not. I have written about animal friendly and non-animal friendly materials in other posts.
Shop animal friendly – because you can.

Boys & Girls Clubs honor 'father figure' Bruce Seals with memorial ceremony
By Katie Pedersen, Special to the Reporter

The Boys & Girls Clubs of Dorchester (BGCD) hosted a ceremony last week that honored the life and legacy of former professional basketball player and longtime BGCD athletic director Bruce Seals, who died last December at age 67.
Mayor Wu joined a speakers' program during which Seals was recalled lovingly by family and colleagues before a banner featuring him in action as an NBA player, at right, was hung on the wall next to his former office in the club's gymnasium. A pair of sneakers that he wore in his playing days was also mounted to the gym wall.
A native of New Orleans, Seals played basketball for Xavier University, the Utah Stars, and the NBA's Seattle SuperSonics. After winding up a successful career with a stint in a Italian basketball league, he moved to Boston with his family in 1990, then worked for the next 30 years at the BGCD's Marr Clubhouse building on Deer Street where he touched thousands of young lives on court and off.
Bob Scannell, president and CEO of BGCD, called the event, which included a basketball clinic for club members run by the Boston Celtics, "bittersweet."
"Bruce's impact on kids of all ages is unmatched," said the man who hired Seals. "He made time for everyone. No matter how busy he was, he was going to take the time and listen to and help each child who was in his presence.
"Far more important than basketball for Bruce was his mentoring and being a role model to the kids at the club," Scannell said. "When I think of Bruce, I think of him simultaneously crouching down to comfort a crying toddler and mentoring a teen who may have been making wrong decisions that day. He really cared. He always said, 'I'm never leaving here.'"
Wu presented Seals family members with a posthumous citation from the City of Boston that cited his' "lifetime of mentorship and dedication to fostering youth to be the next generation committed to service."
Added Wu: "In his passing, Boston lost a great champion of children, but continues to gain the legacy of his work in the next generation he fostered. From the city of Boston, we honor your life's work and dedication to our youth as a model of citizenship everywhere."
Later, she said, "It's incredible to see so many people come together tonight to celebrate Bruce's life and legacy. He was a fixture for 30 years at the Boys & Girls Club, and has changed thousands of lives, has opened doors, and continues to live on in so many of our community members of Boston. He not only taught athletic fundamentals—he also served as a father figure to so many."
John Karalis, a former player on the Emerson basketball team that Seals coached for 17 years, offered his own tribute.

"I wanted to speak from the heart, because that's where Bruce is for me," Karalis said. "He taught me so many things off the court. Bruce connected with people. He became part of their lives. What we have here is someone who has achieved a level of immortality because he lives on through all the people he's touched. The kids that he has worked with and mentored are going to turn around and do the same for others. That is a true legacy."
Karalis said that he and his former teammates have contributed to a scholarship fund that has been set up in Seals's name to benefit members of the Dorchester club "because we knew how much this meant to Bruce. The only way we could properly honor his legacy is to continue the work that he did here."
Max Barbosa, a BGCD alumnus who now works at the club, remembered Seals as a "friend, a mentor, a father figure, and somebody I had a lot of love for."
Seals's children, Denitra Seals and Bruce Seals, were on hand and spoke about his love for the neighborhood that became his adopted home.
"My dad worked here for 30 years," Denitra said. "That's a very long time. There aren't that many organizations that have this many employees that stay this long. It is truly a blessing and I would like to say that he enjoyed every moment here. He loved coming to work. It's a blessing to be able to see this organization—many, many thousands of people— reciprocating this love back. It speaks volumes."

Maervelous urban developments for a brighter future. Awesome!
A picture is worth a thousand words but do those words tell the truth. We need the dates when the photos were taken to compare them to present photos to assess whether this is propaganda or not. These photos without reference are just simply photos not evidence of reality.
is collapsing economically and the governments are all building totalitarian police infrastructure to manage the mass uprising. This will not work. The so called leaders are empty shells whom have lost their compassion and understanding for the common men and women. Once the corrupt regimes fall, then, we can rebuild our countries and provide jobs and benefits for all.
why are they building these places and not letting people live there?
This area is more than 4000 feet above sea level. People will live there after the coming deluge. They are ahead of the game, getting ready for what's coming! Hope they are wrong!
In China, money generated through taxation of foreign companies and imported products (like ferarris) is sent down to local municipal governments of small towns, then used for construction projects that do not need to generate rent or sales to be profitable. The construction process alone IS the business. It is not a market based real estate market. The government earns money here by renting land to developers.
China is planning to move hundreds of millions of people from rural areas to urban areas in the next 10 years. This is all part of a plan.
I don't know why the lack of cars is considered "evidence". Only a tiny fraction of Chinese people own a car. In the US, with 300 million people, there are about 200 million cars (2 cars/3 people). However, in China, with 1.3 Billion people, only about 50 million new cars have ever been sold in the country (~2 cars/50 people). I would expect that most cities and neighborhoods would have very few cars. If you were to take aerial photos of suburban US (specifically, neighborhoods where every house has a garage), wouldn't it look similar?

DENNY HAMLIN CAPTURES FIFTH WIN, CHASE ELLIOTT INCHES BRAD KESELOWSKI TO CONTINUE INTO THE ROUND OF 8
Denny Hamlin drove his No. 11 FedEx Toyota Camry to victory lane for the fifth time this season adding momentum to his championship hunt by capturing a victory in Sunday's Hollywood Casino 400 at Kansas Speedway. The Chesterfield, Virginia native led 153 laps and won his second race at Kansas.
"This is a great feeling," said Hamlin. "That car was awesome to dominate that whole second half. I have to thank everybody who pushed me on the restarts, Kyle (Busch), the 9 (Elliott) at the end. Good to see him make it by points anyway. But, hey, I'm just really happy for this whole FedEx team. It's been great. Been running really good. Cannot wait to get to Martinsville Speedway (next Sunday's Round of 8 opener)."
The early portion of the race displayed hard racing and Kyle Larson, who was locked into the Round of 8 after winning at Dover International Speedway, dominated the first stage. Although he had control of Stage 1, Larson lost the lead and Joey Logano won the first stage.
Race winner Hamlin would go on to win Stage 2 as the playoff bubble began to heat up. Team Penske drivers Logano and Brad Keselowski were both a part of the late-race bubble drama with Chase Elliott.
Going into the race, Elliott was ninth in points, outside of the cutline, while Logano and Keselowski were just ahead of him. Keselowski battled with a bad handling race car throughout the whole day and fell a lap down after pitting on Lap 216. He was able to obtain the free pass after a caution for debris on Lap 254.
But for the Michigan native, the race didn't get any easier. While Keselowski restarted 19th in the late-race caution, Elliott was able to pit and grab four fresh tires and restart in seventh. Elliott was able to drive up to second until a caution came out with two laps to go.
Keselowski was able to pit before restarting 15th in the first of two overtimes. Driving up to 13th and three points ahead of Elliott, his teammate Logano would be involved in an accident resulting in another caution. At this point, both Team Penske drivers were at risk of elimination.
Unfortunately for Keselowski, he would restart 13th and lose multiple positions while Elliott placed second and moved on to the Round of 8 ahead of the 2012 champion. Logano was able to limp his torn-up race car to the 19th position and lock himself into the next round.
"We needed every point we could get, and it looked like we were in a good spot," Logano said. "Next thing you know they are wrecking on the outside and I get hit and I am going through the grass. I felt comfortable before that. This was a hard fought and blue-collar round for sure. On to the next round."
Other notable drivers that failed to qualify into the Round of 8 were the remaining Hendrick Motorsports drivers, Alex Bowman, William Byron, and the Stewart-Haas Racing Ford Mustang of Clint Bowyer.
The next event on the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series schedule is the First Data 500 on Sunday, Oct. 27 at Martinsville Speedway in Virginia. The race begins at 3:00 p.m. EDT with live coverage provided by NBCSN and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio.

The Uganda Nurses and Midwives union have resolved to engage government and discuss their grievances rather than joining the Uganda Medical workers Association on the 6th of Nov 2017 to lay down their tools.
Speaking to the media on Tuesday, the president of the Uganda Nurses and Midwives Union Cherop Justus Kiplangat called upon all midwives and Nurses not to be used by the Doctors as its planed to paralise the medical and health sector in the country.
He added that they are set to meet government officials next week and then they will come out with a common stand on their demands and where the government should come in to help and solve their poor salary pay and working conditions of Midwives and Nurses once for all.
Cherop has thus appealed to all midwives and Nurses to remain calm and continue on their duties as they wait for the final resolution which shall be got after their meeting with president Museveni.
This comes at the time when some of the Midwives and Nurses early last week came out and gave the government an ultimatum of up to 6th November to work out on their salaries and working conditions or else they are laying down their tools until further notice.


A startup insurance brokerage led by two former Brown & Brown executives has made its first acquisition.
Lake Mary-based AssuredPartners, led by Jim Henderson and Tom Riley, last week acquired Neace Lukens, a Louisville, Ky., -based insurance brokerage with $88 million in annual revenue.
Henderson, AssuredPartners' chief executive officer and chairman, had been an executive at Daytona Beach-based Brown & Brown since 1985 and vice chairman until leaving the insurance brokerage a year ago.
Riley, AssuredPartners' chief operating officer, was a 21-year employee at Brown & Brown and was its chief acquisition officer when he resigned in January.
AssuredPartners is backed with $250 million from GTCR, a Chicago-based private investment firm.
Neace Lukens has more than 500 employees in 22 offices throughout the Midwest and Southeast.

Bills GM: Shaq Lawson 'hasn't lived up to' draft status
Published: Jun 21, 2018 at 07:18 am
Updated: Jun 21, 2018 at 07:47 am

Cam Newton, Shaq Lawson exchange words after 7-yard Lawson sack
Shaq Lawson enters his third season with mounting pressure, and the Buffalo Bills' former first-round pick has heard the trade rumors swirling this spring.
"Shoot, I've been on the trading block I feel like," Lawson told Matthew Fairburn of The Athletic. "I've just been seeing it. Yeah, it's been a wake-up call. I've been hearing trade rumors and then I kind of realized, 'I'm a first-round pick, third year now. It's time to wake up.' I know I'm a good player. I just have to put it all together and be not just a talented player but a talented player who works hard and works on his craft and skill all together."
Lawson, the No. 19 overall pick in 2016, has earned just six sacks and 24 tackles in 21 career games. The 24-year-old ended last season on injured reserve with an ankle injury, missing the Bills' playoff run.
In a Q&A with Fairburn, Bills GM Brandon Beane was blunt about where Lawson stands heading into training camp.
"Shaq is a guy that this franchise put a lot of stock in with a first-round pick [in 2016]," Beane said. "It's no secret he hasn't lived up to that. Sean [McDermott] and I are very frank. We try not to be rude, but we don't beat around the bush. We laid out the expectations for Shaq.
"I think he's done a real good job to this point. But we have a lot to go. We're off for five weeks. What's he going to do in these next five weeks? Is he going to take the next step from where he left off or is he going to regress? That's the conversation we had. I think he wants it. I think he is more focused this year than what I saw last year. The sky is the limit. The guy is talented. It's just what he makes of it and how bad he wants it. It's hard. Some of these guys don't know what it means to be a pro every day and that was part of the thing for him. I think he's now getting that. It is a big summer. Training camp will tell a lot about where his career in Buffalo is headed."
One issue for Lawson is that Beane already went out and signed his replacement, Trent Murphy. When Murphy returns healthy, Lawson will be battling simply to make the roster as a rotational player.
Beane hasn't been shy about jettisoning ex-GM Doug Whaley's players. We've seen Marcell Dareus, Sammy Watkins and Reggie Ragland shipped out in the past year. If Lawson doesn't impress in training camp, he could be the latest high draft pick booted from Buffalo.

oa Afrikaans language maintenance in Australia

Changes in the political climate in the home country have resulted in the emigration of South Africans to English speaking countries such as Britain, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Despite the scale of movement of the South African population, language maintenance in these diasporic contexts has received little consideration. This paper presents a description of an Australian Afrikaans-speaking community in the small Queensland city of Toowoomba. The study shows a high degree of bilingualism amongst the first generation Afrikaans community but also shows incipient signs of language shift within the home and a weak connection between language and identity.
