…but nothing is the same. Today's repost is from 2007. Life has shifted in countless ways since then yet my emotions are identical to those I wrote about four years ago. I still regard the new year with a sentimental glance back at the old. I'm confident, though, that while my feelings may the same, I am not. I have grown stronger, bolder, wiser and, yes, older. And I wouldn't want it any other way.
How do you feel at the passing of another year? I'd love to hear your thoughts.
…not to mention the fa la la la la-ing. The most beloved hymn of the season may be "Silent Night" yet Christmastime is anything but silent. For the most part, I love the noise of it all. From the continual carols to the frenetic hum of the shoppers to the tinkly chime of the Salvation Army bell – the sounds are a familiar, even comforting signal that soon it will be Christmas Day. Still…I think we're all bound to have days when we're just a rum-pa-pum-pum away from losing our sanity. At the very least it's easy to lose our thoughts and lose sight of what all of that noise is for.
Today's "repost" is about the value of silence. I know there are parties for hosting, marshmallows for toasting (or melting for rice krispy treats) and plenty to do between now and December 25th. But I'd like to challenge you to give yourself time, even if only a few minutes, to get away from the clamor and listen to the quiet. You might be surprised by what you hear!
May God bless each of you with the peace He has promised.
Have a very Merry Christmas and keep reading!
With less than two weeks to go before Christmas, chances are you've spent time recently in a shopping mall or will be headed there as soon as you realize how few shopping days are left! If you're like me, you wander through this maze of merchandise and inevitably somewhere between perfume-spritzing elves and sparkly kiosks stocked with trinkets, you get disoriented. Or just downright lost. Thank goodness for the Mall Directory, that color coded map of helpfulness with its little red arrow indicating, "You are here." There's something comforting about that sign. And not just because it can direct me to the place that sells those giant pretzels.
Have you ever had the feeling that no one knows you're here? Am I the only one who has ever walked/run/stumbled through a crowded shopping center and felt invisible? Do you ever wish for someone to recognize, as that directory does, that you are here? Then today's repost is for YOU! Because there's no better time of year to remind you that no matter how inconspicuous, how insignificant or how forsaken you may feel, you are not unseen. You are here. And so am I. Now if you'll excuse me, I've got to finish my shopping. Or at least get a big pretzel.
Click on the photo below for today's "repost"!
…to be jolly. I get that. And I LOVE the holidays! From the smiling pumpkins of Halloween until to the sparkling confetti of New Year's Eve, I love the celebrations, the decorations, the food, the fun. But today I feel more than a twinge of sadness. My youngest son will be moving away from home just days before Christmas. And my heart aches. I know there are others who feel melancholy this time of year and I tend to be one of those annoying happy people attempting to spread a little cheer. I still hope to brighten this sacred season for those who are hurting. Sometimes, though, you just need to cry.
This week marks three years since we said good-bye to a beloved pet. For those who (whether by choice or circumstance) do not have furry family members, such an anniversary may seem insignificant. But this little dog was part of our lives for many years and his passing still brings a tear now and then. Today's "repost" was written shortly after he left us and it helped me have a good (and much needed) cry this morning.
My wish is that you're filled with joy and happiness this Christmas season. If not, what makes you sad this time of year? And how do you overcome those feelings? I'd love to hear how you're feeling today (and I've got Kleenex if you need them).
…from all that hard shopping work you've done this morning and do a little mindless blog reading! I hope your Thanksgiving was full of the good stuff – food, family, friends, fun! This has been a difficult year for so many and most of us have struggled in one way or another. Still…I can't help but feel humbled and grateful when I think of the countless ways that God has blessed me and those I love. My guess is that you found reasons to be thankful as well!
If you read my last post, you know that I've got big plans for writing in the new year! Until then, I'll be reposting a few "oldies but goodies" from the past couple of years. This one seemed to fit the bill for today. After all, you want to be comfy while you take advantage of all those Cyber Monday deals, right?
If you took a random survey of my friends and family, I'm guessing there would be several words used consistently to describe me. "Rebel" would probably NOT be one of those words. I was always the good girl in school, in church, at home…pretty much everywhere. I just never quite mastered what I considered to be an art – the act of rebelling against…anything. I'm not loud or conspicuous. Nope, on the surface there's nothing the least bit rebellious about me. But now, just a flick of my wrist might change that idea.
In reality, my first major act of rebellion occurred more than seventeen years ago when I summoned all my courage and escaped an unhealthy, destructive marriage. Being divorced, raising three boys virtually alone for much of their lives…I'd never imagined such a life for myself. But then again, I'd never imagined how much strength God would give me when I needed it most. I will forever treasure those days. They were a precious gift. Then in the blink of an eye, those days were gone. My boys became men and although the youngest is still at home, the proverbial nest will soon be empty.
A funny thing happens when you're no longer "needed" quite so much as a mom. You start to realize that it's been a while since you thought about…you. At first it seemed weird and wrong. Like wearing clothes that didn't fit quite right. It was just so uncomfortable to focus on myself. But I did it anyway. And a rebel was born.
With the encouragement of Lisa, my dear friend and Wellness Coach (once you've finished reading here, check her out at http://www.lisacapehart.com/), I began to rebel against lies I believed about my body. I rejected old habits and embraced new possibilities. For the first time in a long time, I'm no longer afraid to look in the mirror.
While I was as it, I began to rebel against a few other ideas as well. Nearly a decade after my first marriage ended, I remarried. My dear husband loves my sons as if they were his own and I do not doubt his love for me. But. These years have been filled with circumstances and issues that threatened to tear us apart. Once again, I had to summon all my courage. Not to escape, rather, because I knew my husband's heart, I bravely reached for his hand and held tight. I will continue to rebel against the forces that would destroy our marriage.
But wait! There's more! I'm a housewife. There I said it. And guess what…I enjoy being a housewife, although I think "Domestic Diva" has a much nicer ring to it. This has been my job for nearly seven years now and I don't mind giving up a few material possessions in exchange for working at home. Yes, I do work at home. So I'm rebelling against the notion that my life is of no value because I don't earn a paycheck.
Once and for all, I am rebelling against the belief that I have to fit myself into someone else's idea of what my life should be. I'll have lots more to write about this subject beginning in early 2012. I hope you'll join me!! Until then, I'll be reposting a favorite story or two just for fun.
Hmmm…what am I forgetting? Oh yeah, remember I told you that a flick of my wrist my show off my new rebellious nature? Last month I did it. I got a tattoo. A beautiful butterfly and the word "hope" on the inside of my wrist. There's a story there for another time. But for now, I like to think of it as the art of rebellion.


This weekend I'm going to be at the Artisan Studio Tour in Port Credit at 1314 Crossfield Bend or #2 on this map. I will have all of my jewelry pieces with me. So come on out and and say hi.
This is what I'm working on today…. I just started this piece as I picked up a bunch of new crystals yesterday.
That sounds exciting. I hope your weekend goes well! Also, I like the color combo going on in that photo.


I am in Pucallpa, Peru, as a guest of Charlie's so that I can take photos and collect information for a website (BluePeru.com). This website will cover his new ecotourism business on the Amazon River. It occurs to me that now is an excellent time to get an interview for this website. This is great, as Charlie is a living legend in the exotic animal business, with over 40 years of experience - not many still around with a record like that! With Charlie's background, sense of humor and personality - anyone that has ever met him would not easily forget him. So for those of you who have only heard a little about him - this is a chance to know more - a lot more.
Charlie has been coming and going to Peru for the past 9 years. He is now settled down with his Shipibo Indian wife Adie and their four month old daughter.
There are 40 indigenous Indian tribes in Peru and the Shipibos (35,000-40,000 members) dominate the Ucayali River and region, which is the main tributary of the upper Amazon River. Where the Ucayali and the Maranon river converge, several hundred miles North - that is the river we call the actual 'Amazon'. The region around the Ucayali is still the 'Amazon Jungle', but as you get closer to the headwaters of the world's biggest river there are many hilly and mountainous areas, giving it a different character then the broad, flat jungles of the lower Amazon.
The setting for our interview is his large native style home in the little village of San Jose, located on a large and beautiful lake - Yarinacocha. This is about a half hour from the major jungle city and river port of Pucallpa. To get to Charlie's you need to take a taxi from the modern airport in Pucallpa to the lake, and then go by boat (Pecky-Pecky) over the lake to his house. The Pecky-Pecky is a built up dug-out canoe fitted with a small air-cooled motor (mostly 'Briggs & Stratton'). The motor is on a gimbaled stand with a long shaft to the prop - allowing the boat driver to drop and raise the prop at will to clear obstacles like sand bars and logs, of which there are plenty in the Amazon Jungle waterways.
Boats are called 'Peky-Pecky' because of the sound of the motor.
The temperate in the day can go into the 90's, but it often comes down into the 70's at night - the lush vegetation and the occasional rain shower making the difference. So we sit outside on the veranda looking at a night sky lit up with thousands of brilliant stars and launch into this interview - more like a conversation, considering the 30 years of friendship we have shared.
NHM: "Charlie - I have not seen so many stars in the sky since my days of diving in Baja and in Palau, Micronesia. I guess the explanation for the atmospheric clarity here is the absolute lack of air pollution. There really is something to that statement - the Amazon Jungle is the 'lungs of the earth'. I hope the jungle doesn't get cancer!"
CM: "So why do you want to do an interview with me?"


Iumsol is a multi-media educational business that provides online lessons without having geographical barriers. Iumsol aims to provide high-quality educational services to every part of Korea by providing online lectures. As one of the leading educational business, Iumsol has all levels of students from elementary to high school students.
Recently, professors from Peking university started lecturing Chinese one-on-one online through Iumsol website. Iumsol online lecture with KINX CDC became able to provide high-quality online lectures.
Iumsol experienced a challenge providing real-time online Chinese language lectures , since it was not able to provide fast and reliable online lectures with existing Internet network. Iumsol had to find out a solution to reduce latency and enhance network quality for boosting Internet speed.
Iumsol's existing Internet network had a severe issue since there was not an efficient way to provide stable online lectures recorded by professors located in China. To solve this technical issue, Iumsol chose China Direct Connect (CDC) that enables faster Internet connectivity to major cities in China. China Telecom built the next-generation, enterprise-only network, "CN2". KINX IDC engineers monitor and provide technical supports for 24/7 in case of occurring errors.
Iumsol could provide well –made online lectures by using KINX's China Direct Connect to solve its technical issue which was having a challenge to send HD online lectures. Before using KINX service, video lectures were disconnected frequently due to low speed of the Internet in China; yet, Iumsol with KINX became able to offer stable online lecture services with enterprise-only network, CN2.

Monday's announcement follows Cohen's postponement last week of an appearance before the House Oversight Committee that had been scheduled for Feb. 7. after accusing President Donald Trump and his attorney Rudy Giuliani of making "ongoing threats against his family."
Update 11:35 a.m. EST Jan. 24:
The Senate Intelligence Committee on Thursday subpoenaed President Donald Trump's former attorney, Michael Cohen, one day after his lawyer announced he was postponing scheduled testimony before the House Oversight and Reform Committee, according to multiple reports.
Unidentified sources told CNN that Cohen was subpoenaed to testify in mid-February. An exact date was not immediately known.

It was not clear how Cohen would respond to the subpoena. CNN reported the Senate Intelligence Committee conducts its interviews behind closed doors.
Original report: A lawyer for President Donald Trump's longtime attorney, Michael Cohen, said Wednesday that Cohen is postponing his scheduled testimony before the House Oversight and Reform Committee due to "ongoing threats against his family" from Trump and his attorney, Rudy Giuliani.
The planned appearance was announced earlier this month by Committee Chairman Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Maryland. Cohen was scheduled to publicly testify on Feb. 7.

"Due to ongoing threats against his family from President Trump and Mr. Giuliani, as recently as this weekend, as well as Mr. Cohen's continued cooperation with ongoing investigations, by advice of counsel, Mr. Cohen's appearance will be postponed to a later date," Cohen's attorney, Lanny Davis, said in a statement.

A federal judge in New York last month sentenced Cohen, 52, to serve 36 months in prison after he pleaded guilty to several charges earlier in the year. He admitted to lying to Congress in connection to a Trump Tower deal in Moscow after prosecutors with special counsel Robert Mueller's team charged him with making false statements. He also pleaded guilty in August to eight charges, including multiple counts of tax evasion and arranging illicit payments to silence women who posed a risk to Trump's presidential campaign.

In the time since his guilty pleas, Cohen has spent more than 70 hours speaking with investigators for the Southern District of New York, who prosecuted the tax evasion case, and Mueller's team, which is investigating Russian election meddling and its possible ties to Trump, according to The New York Times.

In 2008-09, total health expenditure for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people was estimated at $3,700 million. The average health expenditure per person for Indigenous Australians was $6,787, compared with $4,876 for each non-Indigenous Australian. Correspondingly, the Indigenous to non-Indigenous per person health expenditure ratio was 1.39. This report, the sixth in the series, again shows that Indigenous Australians are more likely than non-Indigenous Australians to rely on public hospital services. In 2008-09, per person expenditure on public hospital services for Indigenous Australians was more than double that for non-Indigenous Australians - an expenditure ratio of 2.25.

Scars On Broadway Biography
The Alternative-Metal outfit Scars On Broadway got its original roots back in 2003, in Los Angeles, California USA, when System Of A Down guitarist + vocalist Daron Malakian was involved in a sort of side-project with Amen-singer Casey Chaos and drummer Zach Hill. However the old line-up has been changed to unknown new line-up; the only confirmed name so far was drummer John Dolmayan, another from the multi-platinum Malakian's band System Of A Down.
In December 2005, Malakian said in an interview that he "could release ten solo records tomorrow". He also said, "I have tons of material laying around. After these albums", -- "Mezmerize" and "Hypnotize" -- "I'm gonna go off and do something on my own, just like Serj. And no, SOAD are not breaking up. We're just gonna do like Kiss and put out our own solo records or something like that".
Scars on Broadway began recording its self-titled debut album in September 2007. The band, now comprised of Malakian, Dolmayan, Franky Perez on guitar + vocals, Dominic Cifarelli on bass and Danny Shamoun on keyboards + percussion, released the disc in July 2008 via Interscope Records. It peaked at #18 on The Billboard 200 and stopped just short of the top 10 of The Canadian Albums chart at #11. The lead-off single "They Say" was quickly picked up by U.S. radio stations rocketing to #15 on The Hot Modern Rock list and #25 on The Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks.

Earth Sciences student develops valuable tools for collecting oceanic data on Government co-op work terms
Hana Hourston
Government of Canada's Department of Fisheries and Oceans
Hana Hourston is a fourth-year student majoring in mathematics and minoring in Earth Sciences. She completed a co-op work term with the Government of Canada's Department of Fisheries and Oceans. Learn about her experience below.
Why did you choose UVic, your program and co-op?
Going into university, I didn't have a solid idea of what I wanted to major in, but I knew I wanted to do something that was related to the ocean. I'd heard good things about UVic's school of Earth and Ocean Sciences (SEOS) and UVic's co-op program from friends and family, and I ended up not being disappointed! UVic SEOS offers a diverse range of interesting courses, and the co-op program has provided valuable work experience and networking opportunities to help set me up for life after graduation.
What Government department did you work with?
I worked with the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) at the Institute of Ocean Sciences (IOS) on my previous work term.
What responsibilities did you have in your position?
This position offered me the opportunity to learn more about physical oceanography and to develop my skills in the R code, which is a programming language for statistical graphing and computing, primarily used by data statisticians and scientists. I spent the term working with the IOS Data Product Team on an R package for processing raw data from Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers (ADCPs). ADCPs are oceanographic instruments that use sound to measure ocean current speed and direction. They emit pings of sound that reflect off particles in the water and use the return speed of the reflected pings to calculate ocean current velocities. ADCPs can also measure temperature, sound speed, and pressure in the water, by other means. All such observations contribute to our understanding of the ocean, including the ocean's role in controlling the climate. There are two types of ADCPs: ship-mounted and moored. Ship-mounted varieties are installed on the bottom of ships and take measurements from there, while moored ADCPs are anchored at a chosen depth in the water where they can be left to take measurements over several months. I was only working with moored ADCP data on my co-op term. I adapted the package to fit existing data processing standards at IOS and then used it to process all of the 20 years' worth of raw ADCP data at IOS. In doing so, I was helping set specific standards for future processing of all ADCP data collected by IOS.
What impact did you have in your position?
One of my favourite parts of coop was knowing that my work was meaningful. The package I helped develop would go on to help more scientists obtain accessible, standardized data beyond the end of my work term.
What have you learned from your work term?
The work term exposed me to skills beyond what I learned in the classroom. I learned how to code in R, package development and maintenance. In government, we generally have to work with folks from the east coast, where there is a three-hour time difference. This helped me hone my communication skills as I had to be in communication with the Data Product Team, corresponding with the developers of the R package from members of the team in Nova Scotia.
What are your future career plans and how has coop helped guide you in this direction?
I originally started as a combined Earth and Ocean Sciences and Physical Geography major when I entered the co-op program. After my work term with DFO, I was more interested in working in data analysis, and this led me to switch to a Mathematics major. After graduation, I plan to pursue a career related to data analysis or numerical modeling. In pursuing a major and minor, I have opportunities in both fields and look forward to seeing where my future will take me!

FRYEBURG — Maine fiber artist Janet Conner, known for her original hand-hooked rugs and mats, will be the guest artist at this year's Fryeburg Fair. The Fiber Center is open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. throughout fair week, Oct. 3-10, closing at 6 p.m. on the final Sunday.
Conner's work is considered primitive, or country Victorian, in style. All designs are original. The wool strips are cut by hand from recycled and heirloom fabrics and many of the colors are the result of natural dyes. The family tools she uses were inherited through three generations and her greatest influences have been the study of antique textiles and folk art, as well as the landscapes, museums and cultural experiences from her international travel.
Because of Conner's 30-year career as an elementary art teacher, she continues to enjoy her enthusiasm for teaching by providing various classes for beginning and experienced rug hookers in pattern design, dyeing for special color effects and folk art style rug hooking. She also offers advanced workshops in Van Gogh inspired rug hooking and couture hooked bags.
Conner was selected in 2004 for her exceptional work as one of the 200 best traditional American craftsmen by Early American Life magazine's jury of curators from historic Williamsburg, Sturbridge Village and Shelburne Museum. Additionally, her work was exhibited that year at the Moore College of Art Alumnae juried exhibition in Philadelphia. In Maine, her work has been seen at the Brick Store Museum in Kennebunk as well as the Public Library and the Whimsical World Art Gallery in Portland and the Maine Fiber Arts Center in Topsham.
Fryeburg Fair has supported fiber education for more than 15 years and built a permanent fiber exhibition hall in 2004. The Fiber Center serves to educate the public about fiber arts featuring demonstrations throughout fair week. The Fiber Center features alternative gallery space to show fiber art like Conner's each year during fair week.
Fiber Center Superintendent Gale Bellew said, "This unique environment allows new eyes to see and understand the progression of natural fibers from function and craft to fiber art in a way that has never been possible in any other venue that we know of."
Fryeburg


Imagine getting to work on a Monday morning with a busy week ahead of you. You turn on your laptop, go and grab a coffee while it's loading up. But when you return to your desk, you see the blue screen of death.
The laptop is frozen and you can't do any of your work as the operating system (OS) has crashed. Without an operating system, your laptop can't function.
But it's not just your computer that needs a Windows or iOS, businesses need an operating system of their own to function. This OS is company culture. The invisible lifeblood of the company, that nurtures, motivates and inspires employees. And without a positive workplace culture, your business, like that broken laptop, can grind to a halt.
Company culture is not just a nice to have, it's a must to have. The evidence is there. A strong organisational culture drives positive results across the spectrum of business metrics. Your culture is directly linked to sustained organisational success, however you measure it.
If the office is a hostile and unfriendly environment, people won't enjoy coming to work. And why would they if they feel as though they can't speak to anyone and if they do, they'll get into trouble.
Having a low employee churn rate saves businesses time and money, as the hiring process is often very time and money intensive once you consider training and recruitment. Especially with many industries facing crippling skills crisis – from tech to engineering. But positive company culture isn't about free beer and ping pong tables (although I'm sure people wouldn't be annoyed about that), it's about personal development, and ensuring that the best employees remain engaged and interested. This includes setting out a clear and exciting career path for them and making them feel genuinely valued.
Motivation and productivity According to the Hawthorne Theory, the most important factor that influences worker productivity is relationships. Relationships between managers and employees need to be supportive and motivating, as motivation is directly linked to productivity. That's a huge piece of the culture puzzle. In Maslow's hierarchy of needs, motivational theory determines that positive human relations affect whether an employee's safety, physiological needs and self-esteem are being met. Individuals are more likely to produce quality results when they are treated with respect and are made to feel as though they are being recognised for making a positive contribution to the company's success. For example, an employee is not likely to produce their best work if they never receive any positive or motivational feedback.
As a business owner, making productivity gains is obviously hugely financially incentivising. And building and maintaining these relationships with employees often goes a long way. In fact, 60% of SME leaders believe positive workplace culture will drive better levels of customer service and satisfaction, 49% expected to see more ideas and innovation coming from their employees and 55% anticipated improved employee performance and – crucially – productivity.
Creativity is at the heart of most businesses. Whether it's thinking up the next big invention or thinking on your feet around how to solve a problem – they are all important. And employees' creativity is often dependent on their ability to communicate with colleagues to share ideas and bounce them off one another. Without quality workplace relationships, employees are less likely to be able to develop and share the solutions that a business needs to survive.
For instance, if you have a 'blame and culture', it could deter people from speaking up in meetings or putting ideas forward. Mercedes' Formula 1 boss, Toto Wolf, often praises the 'no-fear' culture imbedded in Mercedes as a key driver for its fifth successive constructors' championship.
Relationships and culture within an organisation clearly have a huge positive impact on businesses. It improves employee retention, productivity, and creativity. And why just like any OS, it shouldn't be an afterthought, but something that is installed, invested and maintained right from the get-go.


Tap into your inner designer with these five finishes for Hamptons style windows and doors.
Few interior design trends are as sought-after as Hamptons style. Aside from being visually stunning, the Hamptons style trend is one that creates the ambience of a year-round seaside holiday, a place to completely relax and unwind.
Designed to match the luxurious coastal properties dotted along New York's Long Island Sound, modern Hamptons style can be achieved with the right materials, colours and interior accents. Here we dive into the five window and door finishes you need to achieve an uncanny Hamptons style exterior.
A coastal style cottage with timber-look cladding and shingled roofing is the image most often conjured when talking about Hamptons style homes. Horizontal weatherboard is as quintessentially Hamptons style as it gets and is the ideal material to create that striking yet relaxed coastal aesthetic Hamptons style is known for. If you're looking to accentuate your exterior weatherboard, you can't go past window trims. These thick, timber-look accents add much-needed definition and masculinity to windows and are a great way to bring in more white when painted. Axent™ Trim from the Scyon™ Walls range by James Hardie™ is highly beneficial if you're looking to fatten up your exterior trim with a product that looks exactly like timber but doesn't come with the added maintenance.

Thick window trims will add drama and definition to your Hamptons facade!
A Hamptons style home is one that is flooded with as much natural light as possible to emulate those endless summer vibes, and if you're lucky enough to have a view, you'll certainly want to capitalise on it with large windows. While large windows with a chunky Axent Trim will add a touch of Hamptons style, that's not enough to encapsulate a true Hamptons retreat. Adding windows with a grid pattern will give your interior and exterior that ornamental touch without compromising on any natural light flow. If a whole window grid pattern is too busy for your liking, you can add a top-row grid style, also known as fractional grids. As the name suggests, this window style only has a grid row at the top of the window, leaving the remainder of the windowpane unobstructed.
One of the most beloved design elements of Hamptons style is plantation shutters. The timeless appeal of these timber-look shutters lies in their ornamental charm as well as their usability. Plantation shutters are great for blocking out excessive sunlight in certain rooms without having to close windows and obstruct airflow altogether. On the design side, there's just something about crisp white plantation shutters that screams cool coastal vibes. The other benefit of plantation shutters is their dual role in dressing your interior as well as your exterior windows.
Plantation shutters are perfect for blocking out excess light while allowing for ventilation.
A Hamptons style façade is one that benefits from conventional architectural elements, so while their namesake might be Parisian, French doors certainly have their place in a Hamptons style home. French doors installed in an upstairs balcony, patio or indoor/outdoor room will not only add a classic elegance to the look of your home but also flood your interiors with an abundance of natural light – a hallmark of true Hamptons style living.
French Doors open on to this patio area to create a stunning Hamptons hideaway.
Stacking doors are another addition that can open up your indoors to the outdoors with one fell push. Unlike French doors, stacking doors give you complete unobstructed views to the outdoors and are particularly beneficial when creating a seamless flow between your interior and exterior living spaces.
Hamptons style homes blur the boundaries between indoors and outdoors with large windows, open-planned indoor/outdoor rooms and outdoor kitchens. Another way to mingle your interior with your exterior is with a servery window. A servery window is an extension of the kitchen whereby the kitchen bench extends out to an adjoining outdoor entertaining area through a bi-fold window, creating a kitchen servery. Aside from being a very convenient way to access the kitchen when entertaining, serveries create even more of an open and airy living space that's synonymous with luxurious Hamptons style living.
Create an outdoor space made for the outdoor lifestyle with a servery window!

Q: Why are there finitely many ramified prime ideals? Reference: Neukirch - ANT p.49
Let $R$ be a Dedekind domain with the quotient field $K$ and $L/K$ be a finite separable field extension and $A$ be the integral closure of $R$ in $L$.
Let $\theta\in A$ such that $L=K(\theta)$ and define $J:=\{\alpha\in A: \alpha A\subset R[\theta]\}$ and $m$ be the minimal polynomial for $\theta$ over $K$.
Let $d$ be the discriminant of the polynomial $m$, so that $d=\prod_{0\leq i<j\leq n-1} (\theta^i -\theta^j)$ where $n=[L:K]$.
The text shows that any prime ideal satisfying $d\notin P$ and $PA+J=A$ is unramified in $L$.
How do I conclude that there are only finitely many ramified prime ideals in $L$? That is, how do I prove that there are finitely many prime ideals satisfying $d\in P$ or $PA+J\neq A$?
Since $R$ is a Dedekind domain, of course, there are finitely many prime ideals satisfying $d\in P$. However, why are there finitely many prime ideals $P$ such that $PA+J\neq A$?

A: I'm a bit unsure of where you're stuck, since I think one can show that the set of primes $\mathfrak{p}$ such that $\mathfrak{p}A + \mathfrak{F} \neq A$ is finite in much the same way that one shows the set of primes such that $d \in \mathfrak{p}$ is finite.
Since you didn't state this explicitly, let me first note that $A$ is also a Dedekind domain: its Krull dimension is $1$ by the Cohen-Seidenberg theorems, it is integrally closed, and one can use Proposition 5.17 of Atiyah-Macdonald to show that it is Noetherian.
Since $R$ is Dedekind, then $dR$ has a unique prime factorization
$$
dR = \mathfrak{p}_1^{e_1} \cdots \mathfrak{p}_s^{e_s} \, .
$$
Since to contain is to divide, then the only prime ideals $\mathfrak{p}$ such that $d \in \mathfrak{p}$ are the primes $\mathfrak{p}_1, \ldots, \mathfrak{p}_s$ appearing in the factorization of $dR$.
Similarly since $A$ is Dedekind, then $\mathfrak{F}$ has a unique prime factorization
$$
\mathfrak{F} = \mathfrak{P}_1^{a_1} \cdots \mathfrak{P}_t^{a_t} \, .
$$
If $\mathfrak{p}$ is an ideal of $R$ such that $\mathfrak{p}A + \mathfrak{F} \neq A$, then
there exists a prime $\mathfrak{P}$ of $A$ such that $\mathfrak{P} \mid \mathfrak{p}A$ and $\mathfrak{P} \mid \mathfrak{F}$.  Then $\mathfrak{P} = \mathfrak{P}_i$ for some $i$ by the uniqueness of factorization of ideals.  Thus we see that an ideal $\mathfrak{p}$ of $R$ satisfies $\mathfrak{p}A + \mathfrak{F} \neq A$ iff $\mathfrak{p} = \mathfrak{P_i} \cap A$ for some $i$, i.e., for one of the primes appearing in the factorization of $\mathfrak{F}$.

A: More of an extended comment than an answer:
Ramification of primes in number theory is basically the same picture as ramification which occurs in  the theory of branched covering spaces (for example, see my answer to this question).
The basic philosophy is: prime ideals are points. For an integral domain, its "dimension" (ie, Krull dimension) is the longest chain of prime ideals you can find, minus 1. For rings of integers, $(0)$ is prime, and every nonzero prime is maximal, so the longest chain you can find is 2, so the dimension is 1. Under this philosophy, the prime ideal $(0)$ should be thought of as a "generic point", which is a point whose closure (in the Zariski topology) is the whole space - it is also called a codimension 0 point. The nonzero primes are then codimension 1 points (in this case, they are closed points).
It turns out that in nice situations (which includes the case of rings of integers), ramification is a closed property which happens purely in codimension 1. However, in the Zariski topology on an 1-dimensional integral domain, the open sets are the cofinite sets - ie, the closed sets are the finite sets, and hence ramification can only happen at closed points (ie, nonzero primes), and only had finitely many of them.

Групата "Кукув ден" се формира през 1975 г. като тесен приятелски "поетически кръг". През следващите години кръгът се разширява като в него се включват главно студенти от Художествена академия, Музикална академия и Софийския университет "Кл. Охридски". Основната дейност на кръга се състои в обмен на информация за съвременното изкуство, често приемаща дискусионни форми. Споделят се също личните творчески експерименти, инспирирани от модернистични течения като дадаизъм, сюрреализъм, абстракционизъм. По това време подобни опити са категорично отхвърляни от идеолозите на тоталитарния режим. Пътят за навлизането на всички млади автори в организирания художествен живот в страната е строго регламентиран и очертан.

Участниците в група "Кукув ден" в по-голяма или в по-малка степен приемат за невъзможно да се противопоставят директно на системата и да се изявяват свободно в публичното пространство. Затова приемат идеята за "вътрешна духовна имиграция" и започват да използват различни алтернативни форми за художествен изказ с иносказателен и пародиен характер. Така в края на 70-те години се поставя началото на ежегодни карнавали, които се провеждат в дома на Орлин и Емилия Дворянови на ул. "Генерал Гурко" в София. По време на тези тематични вечери, посветени на сюрреализма, Ориента, космоса, аргонавтите и др. се представят камерни изложби, пърформанси, скечове, прожекции на диапозитиви. Тези изяви отразяват една от основните концепции на кръга, насочена към създаване на колажи от разнообразни артистични форми.

Друга линия е свързана с концепции за естетизация на градската среда. От нея тръгва създадената през 1984 г. група "Динамична естетизация" ("ДЕ"), която започва да действа акционистки в градска и природна среда.

В средата на 80-те основната част от група "Кукув ден" започва да снима филми с любителска камера. До политическата промяна са създадени шест филма, като последните от тях са монтирани окончателно в първите години на демокрацията.

От 1987 до 1990 г. групата издава за свое вътрешно ползване информационна брошура "Кукув дневник". Тя се списва на пишеща машина, но понякога се допълва с текстове писани и илюстрирани на ръка. Издава се всеки месец в 30 екземпляра и се разпространява вътре в тесния приятелски кръг. Наред с преведени или преснимани материали за съвременното изкуство на Запад, в нея се описват различни смешни случки от живота на кукувците. През същия период "Кукув ден" активизира дейността си и се включва с групово създадени инсталации и пърформанси в изложбите организирани от клуб "Изкуство в действие" и Клуба на (вечно) младия художник (К(в)МХ) към Съюза на българските художници.

През 1990 г. членовете на групата са сред учредителите на сдружение "Изкуство в действие".

Идеология
Идеологическата платформа на група "Кукувден" има три фокуса:

I. Изкуство: Всички участници са творчески индивидуалности, създаващи свое лично творчество. Те нямат амбицията да се нарекат художествено течение, да работят в сходен стил или да създават обща естетическа платформа. Принципите им са:
 Довери се на необходимостта да се себеизразяваш.
 Радостта от собственото ти откритие е по-важна от чуждото признание.
 Важен е твоят вътрешен критерий.
 Важно е да материализираш желанията и представите си.
 Важно е да създаваш, а не да се притесняваш за съдбата на създаденото от теб.

II. Карнавал: Чрез предпочитаната карнавална форма групата отдава почит към карнавалността на живота. Понятието "карнавал" съдържа в себе си вечния игрови импулс, желанието за разрушаване на шаблона чрез игра.

III. Документ: През 1988 г. групите започнаха издаването на месечната брошура "Ку-ку-дневник" с основни рубрики: "Манифести-концепции" (материали за световния авангард), "Опознай кукувиста" (шеговити разкази за участници в движението), информация за предстоящи културни събития в столицата и галерия от рисунки. Основни съставители на брошурата са Велико Шербанов и Орлин Дворянов.

Why does the bible not talk about dinosaurs?
Filed under newsletter-lead
U.S., December 22, 2016: At Sam Houston State University in Huntsville, Texas, a student asked Christian apologist and author Frank Turek, "Why does the Bible not talk about dinosaurs?" Here's what he replied.
"The Bible is not a book on taxonomy," public speaker and radio host Turek told the student.
The Bible does talk about land animals, but not all land animals, added Turek, the author of Correct, Not Politically Correct; How Same-Sex Marriage Hurts Everyone and Stealing from God: Why Atheists Need God to Make Their Case.
The Bible doesn't mention the pyramids or the Great Wall of China either, for the same reason, he explained. "It's not part of the scope of the document."
The reason the Bible exists, according to 2 Timothy 3 is "to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus," Turek further explained. "It's not to tell you everything about everything. In fact, there's no book that can tell you everything about everything. … All writing is limited."
Turek, an advocate of Intelligent Design and a critic of evolution, added that "the Bible is really a story of one bloodline," and that's "the bloodline of the Messiah, where Jesus actually comes to Earth, add humanity over to His deity to save the very creatures who rebelled against Him."
In Luke chapter 24 Jesus said the Scriptures, including the Old Testament, are about Him, concluded Turek, a former aviator in the U.S. Navy.
Turek was fired from Cisco and Bank of America over his opposition to same-sex marriage.
In Correct, Not Politically Correct, Turek argues that marriage lengthens lifespans of men and women, civilizes men, protects women, protects mothers, lowers welfare costs, and encourages a replacement birth rate and argues that same-sex marriage does none of these.
In a letter to Bank of America, Turek made clear that he treats all people with respect and agrees with the bank's "inclusion" value to ensure that people work together cordially and professionally despite diverse political, moral or religious views. However, he also argued that marriage was not the topic of his presentation, nor has it ever been in all his years of working with the bank.
One Response to "Why does the bible not talk about dinosaurs?"
Denis Khan says:
Same sex marriage upsets hinders the smooth progress of society. The country will have to create more courts to handle litigation, more orphanages/Help Homes to cater to broken families, more hospitals to cope with sickness and trauma.

COLUMBIA, Mo. – A Missouri man told police he thought the state's new "stand your ground" gun law would protect him after allegedly shooting another man Monday, according to police.
Karl O. Henson, 23, admitted he opened fire while running after a man whose back was turned, he later told officers in a probable cause statement.
Henson, who faces charges of armed criminal action and first degree assault, told police, "the only reason I thought it was OK to shoot at him while he was running away was because of what happened with the new year with the gun law change," officer Spirit Stevens wrote.
Missouri instituted the "stand your ground" law in January, 2017, after the state legislature guaranteed the passage of Senate Bill 650 in September, despite Governor Jay Nixon's earlier veto. The law allows people use deadly force instead of running away, as long as they believe deadly force will be used upon them.
On Monday afternoon, Henson met up with a 20-year-old man who wanted to buy an iPhone 7 from him, according to the Columbia Daily Tribune. While examining the phone, the 20-year-old allegedly took off with the device, running behind a duplex in a cul-de-sac on Riva Ridge Court in northern Columbia.
Henson told police he chased the man into a field, firing six shots and dropping one unspent round as he ran, according to the statement.
The shooting victim was wounded in the heel, and a private vehicle took him to University Hospital, police said.
Henson was arrested at the scene and taken to Boone County Jail, where he is being held without bond.
I'm a lifelong supporter of gun rights, but this moron shouldn't be handling firearms.

News for May from North Carolina
With the Chauvin conviction, class struggle must continue
Will Biden end the War on Terror?
Help get the NCGP back on the ballot
Join the new Young Ecosocialists Caucus of NC
PITTSBORO, NC – The North Carolina Green Party has several updates for you this month: An anticapitalist take on Derek Chauvin's conviction and the abolition of the police state, Biden's plan for Afghanistan must be full withdrawal, how you can help get the NCGP back on the ballot, and the Young Ecosocialist Caucus of NC officially forms.
Police Violence, Class Struggle, and the Chauvin Conviction — the Struggle Continues
"Abolishing" the police state and ending mass incarceration is not enough—well, it cannot exist independently of protracted class struggle. The class that rules the state is unbelievably ruthless. Think about what the Southern plantation aristocracy was willing to do to keep their system. This global ruling class is willing to go farther. We need a clear vision for social organization that we will replace all of this with. This is what will guide people to a new system that is levels above the one we have today. The rulers rule via the class relations of production. States come and go—as long as the dominant force of production is exploitative, the exploiters will chip and charge relentlessly to reconfigure those relations and appropriate and undermine every single victory for the masses. — Tony Ndege, NCGP cochair
The conviction of Derek Chauvin for the murder of George Floyd was a rare instance in which a police officer was held accountable for their actions. But during the course of the trial, police nationwide continued to shoot and kill. As of April 22, 72 people have been shot by police since the trial began on March 29. Six of those shootings happened in the 24 hours after the conviction of Chauvin on murder and manslaughter charges. One of them was in North Carolina's Elizabeth City, where Pasquotank County sheriff's deputies killed Andrew Brown Jr.
The Chauvin conviction, while proper, must not provide police and politicians a space in which to regroup and deflect attention away from the serious, fundamental problems with policing. Without ongoing concerted public pressure exerted on them, politicians and police will not act, and the culturally-conditioned militarized police will continue to prey on communities of color, low-income communities, and the homeless. The United States will remain on its present path of abuse, incarceration, and death. But society cannot allow that to continue, and the pressing question in front of us is how to change the nature and scope of policing in the US.
Municipalities across the country are grappling with this question, with mixed results. In North Carolina, NCGP member Joshua Bradley, in his campaign for Raleigh City Council at-large, has laid out a plan to eliminate the existing police structure and replace it with community-controlled public-safety units that are trained in the tactics of negotiation and de-escalation, and in responding to people with mental trauma and autism or who are under the influence of drugs.
"More than that," says Bradley, "we need to change two important things about police responses. Often the deaths that happen are in response to police trying to pursue people for low-level offenses, like possession of marijuana or small amounts of controlled substances, or even a minor motor vehicle violation like a broken tail light. We should stop trying to enforce compliance with presumed violations that hurt no one and can lead to an unintended death sentence. Second, we need to change the way we equip and train officers for use of force.
Bradley and his campaign collective propose that the majority of officers in community-controlled police units must not carry lethal weapons. If a situation is deemed to need the use of lethal weapons, only specialists who are vetted, trained, and highly monitored will respond. All of these ideas are worthy of public examination of policing today.
Tommie James, NCGP cochair, adds that "in addition to making essential reforms like removing lethal weapons from the majority of police, overturning Qualified Immunity restrictions imposed by the Supreme Court will allow civil rights lawsuits against abusive policing." Earlier this month, New Mexico approved House Bill 4 that will allow citizens and citizen groups to sue government agencies for violation of rights protected by their state constitution. Colorado and Connecticut are the other two states to pass similar remedies.
But there are social questions surrounding policing and incarceration in the US that require a deeper analysis to promote societal responses that eliminate both the police and the carceral state as we know it. History shows that police are a tool in the long-running class war that is the defining feature of capitalism. "The police today are a linear descendant of the structures put in place by the Southern plantation aristocracy to track and return runaway slaves, who were considered property," says NCGP cochair Tony Ndege. "And today's ruling classes in the US are linear descendants of people who considered slavery a path to profit. That mentality prevails today in the form of wage slavery and the commodification of labor. Policing and mass incarceration will continue until we develop a new and clear vision for social organization that will replace the capitalist tendencies that see the carceral police state as a weapon in the ongoing class war."
Biden's Progressive Path Through Afghanistan
No greater bleeding wound exists for the United States in the world than the unending Global War on Terror
By Matthew Hoh, NCGP Member.
First published in Common Dreams, April 20, 2021
Much was to be made in the 2020 campaign about Joe Biden's promise to be the most progressive president since Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Most of that commentary was centered around his domestic programs, but some discussion was given to foreign policy—particularly promises to rejoin the Paris Climate Accords, renew the START nuclear arms control treaty with Russia, and re-enter the nuclear agreement with Iran.
While the US will resume participation in the Paris Climate Accords, most climate scientists believe the Paris Accords are not enough to sufficiently mitigate climate change. President Biden renewed the START agreement, but any commitment to nuclear disarmament is belied by his continuation of a $1.5 trillion US nuclear arms build-up and bellicose rhetoric and actions towards China and Russia—including the construction of new nuclear capable American missile bases within a ten minute flight time of Chinese and Russian cities. The Biden team's decidedly hostile approach towards restarting negotiations with Iran—an approach which received applause from Jared Kushner—along with airstrikes on Iranian-linked militiamen in Syria, hardly signals a progressive transformation of the disastrous US policies in the Muslim world.
These are real disappointments for those of us who experienced, and recognize, continued US foreign policy as inept, fiscally ruinous, morally bankrupt and existentially dangerous. To that, no greater bleeding wound exists for the United States in the world than the unending Global War on Terror. Here, President Biden has an opportunity to not only realize progressive change, but begin a new era of US leadership that accepts the failure of American warfare, atones for imperial hubris, and instead leads the world cooperatively. Such leadership is needed to confront truly urgent threats like pandemics, climate change, and nuclear annihilation, and to address the mass inequality, poverty, misogyny, corruption and other societal harms that devastate and oppress billions. President Biden can start with Afghanistan.
The war in Afghanistan has been ongoing for more than forty years. For nearly half of that, the US has had ground soldiers in Afghanistan, killing and being killed. Any objective observer, meaning anyone without ties of legacy, career or money to the war or war industry, will acknowledge the campaign has not only failed, but has been counterproductive. Consider just two demonstrative facts: In the years prior to the US invasion in 2001, Afghanistan (and Pakistan) were home to four international terror groups. Now, the Pentagon testifies that the number of such terror groups has grown to twenty or more. Also, when the US first invaded Afghanistan, al-Qaeda counted around 400 total members. Al-Qaeda has since spawned branches and off-shoots—including the Islamic State—in dozens of countries, with total memberships in the tens of thousands, and have, at times, controlled entire cities in multiple countries.
Meanwhile, the Afghan people have suffered through a living nightmare unimaginable to most Westerners. The U.S. has poured trillions of dollars and thousands of lives into the Afghan War with no success other than the promotions of generals and the profits of weapons companies. The prospect of wasting more lives in pursuit of this war should sicken all but the select few with vested interests—of money, legacy or career—in the status quo.
President Biden has announced US forces will leave Afghanistan by the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. The Taliban have already stated they will not proceed with negotiations as the May 1 deadline agreed to by President Trump to withdraw US forces will not be met. However, clear and transparent communication between the US, the Afghan and the Taliban may help mitigate this violation. The Taliban are looking for an assurance that foreign forces will leave and will undoubtedly take a delayed withdrawal of several months rather than risking a resumption of US military commitment to Afghanistan that would be the product of renewed Taliban attacks against foreign military forces and a dissolution of the peace process.
Such renewed violence will only serve those who gain fiscally and politically from this war. If US-Taliban fighting begins again, the violence will only escalate and yield unintended and unpredictable consequences. If the Global War on Terror has taught us anything, it is that the ancient aphorism of "violence begets violence" remains true. For this reason President Biden, regardless of what occurs in the next several months, must stay committed to full withdrawal. This will force the Afghan government to continue negotiations, which is necessary, while providing the Taliban with reason to continue as well. The Afghan people, after more than 40 years of war, need and deserve this peace process.
President Biden may not get such an opportunity to begin the long process of harm reduction in US foreign policy as he does with Afghanistan. Embracing peace, particularly by leading a diverse grouping of nations, including Russia, China and Iran, in assisting the Afghan peace process, can be the first of many achievements he has in the White House to undo military catastrophe, bring reconciliation and stability to broken nations, and actually strengthen America's standing in the world. Now that would be the mark of a progressive president.
Matthew Hoh is a Senior Fellow with the Center for International Policy and a member of the Eisenhower Media Network (EMN). He is a 100% disabled Marine combat veteran and, in 2009, he resigned his position with the State Department in Afghanistan in protest of the escalation of the war. He is a member of the NCGP.
Help the NC Green Party Get Back on the Ballot
The NC Green Party is required to petition North Carolina registered voters in order to get back on the ballot and retain our Green Party voter registration status. If we collect 14,000 approved signatures from NC registered voters by early June, we will retain our party registration and regain our Green Party ballot line.
Sign up to petition on our Petitioning Page and share it with your friends and family and ask them to sign up too. When you sign up to petition, we'll invite you to join our Slack workspace for petitioners.
Download and print the NCGP Ballot Access Petition. An easy start is by signing it yourself and asking friends and family to sign.
Read our Tips, Instructions, and Script for collecting signatures. It is very important that you follow the instructions. For example: You need to write the relevant county name at the top of each petition sheet, in pen, and then signers of that sheet must be registered to vote in that county—so you will need several sheets and will need to write different county names at the tops, depending on who signs the petition.
Send a prewritten email to Gov. Cooper, asking him to grant us petitioning relief during Covid if you haven't already. Because we shouldn't have to petition during a global pandemic in the first place.
Make a donation toward our petitioning drive. We've received a $5,000 grant from the Green Party of the United States, but we'd like to double it to pay for materials and stipends for petitioners who will commit to gathering 150 or more signatures. Can you commit to 150 or more signatures or other volunteer work for a stipend? Make sure you sign up at our Petitioning Page to let us know, or email us at [email protected].
Order NCGP merchandise to look like a pro while petitioning. We have baseball-style caps and T-shirts available soon. Our T-shirts will be online soon. Want one now? Please email us.
Attend one of our next organizing meetings! NCGP members and volunteers who have joined our Slack workspace will get notifications of our next meetings.
Once you have collected your signatures, please mail the petition sheets to:
NCGP Petition Drive
With your help we can get the NC Green Party back on the ballot and run more candidates to challenge the two-party capitalist system.

The North Carolina Green Party refuses all corporate contributions, so dues-paying members play a vital role ensuring our state and local organizations have the resources needed to build an independent party for people and planet free from the influence of the 1 percent.
Who can Become a Member of the North Carolina Green Party? North Carolina residents who are registered to vote as "Green" (or registered as "unaffiliated" when the state does not allow Green registration) are eligible to become members of the NCGP after they have affirmed Green Party principles (see our 10 Key Values and platform), set their own dues rate using a budget-friendly sliding scale, and initiated payment of those dues. You choose your own dues level on the honor system, based on what you can pay. Note: Residents who are ineligible to vote due to state disenfranchisement (including but not limited to reasons such as age, criminal record, or noncitizen/undocumented status) may also become members.
