It's not just the dinosaur teeth that seem fascinating and not just the five-story height of some real-life "Godzilla" thundering across a future metro area. That sort of size is certainly amazing, thinking about how big a bite a T-Rex could take out of my Toyota.
But the crocodile-on-steroids aspect of ancient lizards isn't all that amazes me when thinking of dinosaurs. The time scale seems awe-inspiring, too. At a certain point, numbers basically lose their meaning. I can fathom a year, a decade, a century, maybe even a millennium. But 60 million years? No, that seems impossible to contemplate. The same is true for space. The universe holds many billions of stars, with many of them much larger than our sun. Our brains are short of such God-like understanding. We're limited by being stuck in a particular place and time in the universe.
But it can be fun to imagine the unknowable, like what it's like to be among dinosaurs, or what the other side of the universe might be like, or how many other civilizations are really out there? There are genres of entertainment devoted to such imagined realities.
I like some sci-fi fiction or space movies, but I'd rather watch documentaries on those sorts of things. And I'm really drawn to any science that gives a sense of incredible scale, like NASA's famous picture of the Andromeda galaxy, which shows stars clustered together like grains of sand in just one little block of our night sky. If we had superhuman telescopes, we could see that the sky holds a seemingly infinite number of suns. That photo makes it clear. I also love watching documentaries about real creatures no longer with us, like the megalodon.
So, I certainly paid attention when I stumbled across the headline, "The Day the Dinosaurs Died," by Douglas Preston in a recent edition of The New Yorker. It's a long article — approximately 10,000 words — but it's worth the read.
Preston opens by trying to provide imagery of the day the fateful asteroid smashed into earth 66 million years ago. He talks about a computers used by scientists at Los Alamos National Laboratory to model the effects of the impact of the asteroid hitting earth at 45,000 mph. The following sentences hooked me.
"If one looks at the Earth as a kind of living organism, as many biologists do, you could say that it was shot by a bullet and almost died," wrote Preston.
The layer of debris, ash and soot from the asteroid strike — about the thickness of a notebook — is known as the "KT boundary," and Preston writes that almost no dinosaur remains have been found in a century and a half of searching within three meters of the KT boundary. There were no dinosaurs after the asteroid, but were the dinosaurs wiped out by the cataclysm or were they killed off earlier from volcanic eruptions and climate change? Ultimately, what killed the dinosaurs?
But DePalma's obsession has now made the world take notice.
This find is different because it is not just any fossil site where creatures met their demise. The site is littered not just with dinosaur remains, but with glass tektite, which was fallout from the asteroid impact.
"As he (Depalma) continued excavating, he found another crater with a tektite at the bottom, and another, and another.
Other paleontologists recognized the significance of DePalma's find.
DePalma worked in secrecy for five years with his huge find before sharing it with the world.
I find this tale fascinating, not just the science aspect, but the unknown Indiana Jones aficionado stumbling upon a true "holy grail" of the natural world.
I also love that there are still so many things yet to discover and that there are people who spend their hours digging in the dirt with childlike thrill trying to unearth big mysteries. Honestly, this book report of a column doesn't do that story justice. If this topic interests you at all, I'd recommend upgrading to the actual story online: "The Day the Dinosaurs Died," by Douglas Preston. It's worth your time.
Just think, this is history preserved from one day 66 million years ago when the earth took its worst punch.

Statement by Dr. The Honourable Natalio D. Wheatley, Premier and Minister of Finance - Update on the Implementation of the Recommendations of The COI
Premier's Office
Wednesday, 10 August 2022 - 4:36pm
STATEMENT BY
HONOURABLE NATALIO D. WHEATLEY
PREMIER AND MINISTER OF FINANCE
JOINT PRESS CONFERENCE WITH THE GOVERNOR
UPDATE ON THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS
OF THE COMMISSION OF INQUIRY
Thank you Your Excellency.
Good morning to members of the media.
This morning I am pleased to have the opportunity to provide an update since our last joint press conference on the Government of National Unity's efforts in implementing the COI Recommendations as set out in the Framework for the Implementation of the Recommendations of the Commission of Inquiry (COI) Report and other Reforms. This morning's update focuses on activities during the month of July.
Preparatory Steps to Support the Implementation of the COI Recommendations
The implementation of this Framework continues to be coordinated by the Steering Group which has been meeting regularly to receive progress reports, identify any potential challenges and collaborate on solutions. As the coordinating ministry, the Premier's Office continues to support the other ministries and reviewers in fulfilling their obligations under the Plan. To date, a few members of staff have been assigned to the Implementation Unit and work has commenced on developing the budget for the Implementation Unit and for implementing the recommendations, drafting the implementation plan and a communications strategy, reviewing policy documents and developing terms of reference for the reviewers. Recruitment of additional staff is at an advanced stage and within the coming week, a release will be issued to provide further details and contact information.
Cabinet Updates
Cabinet continues to work assiduously in approving the necessary policy changes to support the implementation of the Framework. Since my last update, Cabinet took the following action:
On 6th July, Cabinet approved the amendment to the Audit Act and the Service Commission Regulations, 2014 to advance Recommendations B16 and B17 as proposed under Recommendation A4 of the Framework. It is now a criminal offense for a person, without lawful excuse, to fail to cooperate with or otherwise impede (obstruct, hinder or resist) the Auditor General. The Audit (Amendment) Act was passed in the House of Assembly on 21st July. Failure to cooperate with or otherwise impede, hinder or resist the Auditor General and the Director of Internal Audit in the discharge of their duties and functions is now an act of gross misconduct under the Service Commissions Regulations. For a first time misconduct, the penalties are up to 30 days' suspension or demotion and for a second time and subsequent misconduct, the penalty is dismissal.
With respect to Recommendation B35 pertaining to the revised Public Service Transformation Programme, Cabinet on 6th July and 27th July received and endorsed the Ministerial Transformation Plans for the Ministry of Communications and Works and the Ministry of Education, Culture Youth Affairs and Sport, respectively, in line with the Public Service Transformation Programme priorities.
In an effort to meet the 30th September deadline for amending existing legislation in consideration of the recommendations of the Supervisor of Elections' General Elections Report 2019 and the recommendations made by the Observer Mission, including those on campaign finance reform, Cabinet on 13th July approved various amendments to the Elections Act. Once these amendments have been drafted, they will be submitted to Cabinet and subsequently to the House of Assembly.
The Terms of Reference for the Constitutional Review Commission (CRC) were approved on 20th July. These terms have now been incorporated into a resolution with the members of the CRC and are before the House of Assembly to be debated.
Persons would recall that on 29th June, Cabinet had approved a Bill entitled, Register of Interests Act, 2022, which had its First Reading in the House of Assembly on 30 June, 2022. However, due to the high level of feedback received and after a robust debate in the House of Assembly, the Bill was withdrawn. Cabinet subsequently on 21st July approved the Bill entitled Register of Interests (Amendment) Act, 2022 which was passed by the House of Assembly on 21st July. This amendment addressed the areas to which we committed in the Framework. .
Within the coming week, Cabinet is expected to decide on reviewers for the following:
Recommendations B24 and B28 which deals with statutory boards, specifically:i) the extent to which those boards are behind in their obligations to submit timely financial reports and audits; ii) the extent to which those boards are applying policies intended to promote good governance such as a conflict of interest policy and a political interference policy; iii) the extent to which those boards follow a due diligence policy; and iv) what steps need to be taken to remedy any deficiencies and a timescale in which these steps should be accomplished.
Recommendation B33 which deals with a review of the existing policy and processes for granting residency and belonger status, including the open discretion by Cabinet to grant such statuses, and the length of residence required for belonger status, among other things; and
Recommendation B1 to review the Commission of Inquiry Act 1880 with a remit to make recommendations designed to improve the conduct of Commissions of Inquiry in the Virgin Islands and bring the Act into line with modern practices adopted by other Common Law jurisdictions.
Assistance Grants
In accordance with Recommendation B7, preparations are underway to commission a Review of Social Assistance Benefits and Grants Administration Systems in the Virgin Islands, with technical and financial support from UNICEF. The Terms of Reference were finalized in consultation with the Governor and Minister for Health and Social Development, issued by UNICEF along with an Request for Proposal to potential bidders, and will shortly be submitted to the Cabinet, together with an update on the Project.
July also marked the first month of the Transition Grant Programme being implemented by the Social Development Department in fulfillment of Recommendations B8 and B9. The Department dispatched social workers into communities, including the Sister Islands, and commenced the use of a digital system to capture information needed for registration and enrolment of beneficiaries [referred from the House of Assembly] into the Public Assistance Programme (PAP). The electronic registration tool, developed with assistance from the World Food Programme, is being piloted among transitioning beneficiaries. It provides the added advantage of enhancing the transparency and objectivity of the validation process undertaken by the Public Assistance Committee.
The ongoing progress demonstrates that the Government of National Unity, the public officers in the respective Ministries and all parties including the Governor and the Governor's Group are working hard and are seriously committed to delivering the implementation plan for addressing the COI recommendations and the other reforms.
A tremendous amount of work continues to be undertaken to deliver the recommendations and I wish to commend and express sincere gratitude to the dedicated public officers who have been working diligently to meet the stipulated deadlines. Although we have had some slight delays in implementing some of the reforms, in a few cases we are ahead of schedule.
I wish to reassure the people of the Virgin Islands that the Government of National Unity is firmly committed to our obligations as set out in the Framework.

Infants and toddlers use tracking for visual memory and visual perception, as they learn to use their eyes to direct and coordinate their bodies' large muscle groups. The Rollipop tracking toy is designed to assist with this crucial development using jumbo-sized weighted Rollipop balls which roll down slower than gravity would dictate. Promotes visual and auditory sensory development, hand-eye coordination, fine and gross motor skills, and logic and reasoning.


Fedor Bondarchuk, the son of noted Russian filmmaker Sergei Bondarchuk, debuts as a director with the harrowing and relentless military drama 9th Company, set between 1988 and 1989 at the tail end of the U.S.S.R. Afghani war (the Soviet equivalent of Vietnam). The picture opens in Krasnoyarsk, Siberia, in late 1988, when military trainees Petrovsky, Ryaba, Chugun, Stas, Pinochet, Lyutev and Vorobyev are whipped into shape at a training camp by the brutal, sadistic commander, Warrant Officer Dygalo - prior to being sent off to the front lines. After several one-by-one dalliances with the local whore, Snow White, and a cautionary lecture on the history, geography and culture of Afghanistan (which most of the men sleep through), the trainees head off to battle - first to the Bagram air base, then to the Afghani province of Khost to secure supply lines. But nothing can begin to prepare them for the brutal devastation into which they are plunged, or the relentless tide of slaughter that scatters thousands of Soviet victims in its wake.
Tells a familiar story very well, thanks to a charismatic ensemble cast and boundless ambition when it comes to the scale.
It's all beautifully photographed and lit, using a bright palette that recalls old Technicolor, and exerts a cumulative power over its 130 minutes.
Americanised macho-sentimental war movie about an isolated Soviet division.
the movie's relevance to current events is inescapable - especially when underlined in dialogue like, "In all of history, no one has ever managed to conquer Afghanistan."
The unquestioning lionising of Russian heroism is far from comfortable viewing, especially given the Putin regime's darkening human rights record.
So is the director's beef with the barefoot belligerent fundamentalist Afghans or the beefy bungling brass of the Soviet Union? Less likely any of the above, than a battle of the blockbusters showdown with Hollywood, as to whose got the bigger bull-ets.
The characters are given life by the script and actors, while the mountainous terrain (provided by Crimea) adds novelty to the combat scenes.
It may not be a new subject but, as an update on bellicose jingoism, it's just right.
It's beautifully shot and includes bravura set pieces from the front line. Unsurprisingly, it ends badly.
The film has no real thematic ambition beyond restating the old "war is hell" adage.
To a man, the movie's impressive young Russian cast cover themselves in glory with some truly top-notch turns.
In a word, FANTASTIC! This film is so well made, you would think it was a big budget hollywood flick. The dvd has both english & russian soundtracks. Don't sell yourself short by watching the dubbed version. The acting, directing, and screen writing is top notch. I got goosebumps watching this film. This is basically a story about the tail end of the Russian occupation of Afghanistan. The film tells of the gruesome nature of war, and it's lingering effects. The special effects, and action sequences, left me in awe. What a gem.
A Russian Full Metal Jacket that takes us from the training of troops to their eventual tragic deaths. Set during the 80's conflict with Afghanistan you would expect that artistic parallels would be drawn. Unfortunately this is as much a Hollywood war film as Flags of Our Fathers or We Were Soldiers. It is filled with poor writing that leaves us with hollow characters personified by a single word. Artist and virgin being the two that spring to mind. You've probably guessed already that the artist is rather poetic and sees even the beauty in war while the virgin cries a lot and is scared. All these men are here by choice, we here about lives back home and they are offered a chance to not go to such a dangerous place. They all turn it down and here would be a perfect place to explore more of the characters. It never happens. The film goes on to spread a message we all know. Soldiers are heroes and fight for their countries no matter what the politics. Some nice artistic shots keep the film interesting and even exciting. One shot sees the drill sergeant denied the opportunity to go to go back into battle where all his friends died. He sits alone in a field of poppies silently crying. This one shot says more than the rest of the film.
Poor man's 'Full Metal Jacket' which shows that the Russian filmmakers are well behind the West. Cliches flow thick and fast but with no wit or flair and some of the effects are anything but 'special'.

Kevin Harvick: 'I know for sure that Tony Stewart is not going to run over somebody on a racetrack"
By Jerry BonkowskiAug 17, 2014, 7:06 PM EDT
BROOKLYN, Mich. – Kevin Harvick is one of Tony Stewart's closest friends. There's a lot of loyalty, trust and similar competitive spirit back and forth between the pair to practically make them brothers.
That friendship was at the core of Harvick's decision to leave Richard Childress Racing after 13 seasons and move to Stewart-Haas Racing this season.
As a result, with Stewart in seclusion, still grieving over the Aug. 9 sprint car accident that claimed the life of young driver Kevin Ward Jr., and with Stewart not having made any comments other than a brief statement the day after the incident, Harvick came to Stewart's defense following Sunday's Pure Michigan 400 at Michigan International Speedway.
"I've known Tony Stewart for a long time," Harvick said. "You look, you know, you see what happened. I still don't believe that he even knew that he ran into that car.
"I know for sure that Tony Stewart is not going to run over somebody that's on a racetrack. I don't think there's anybody in this garage that would. It would be hard to find somebody in the racing world that could point that car, just run somebody over."
Harvick, who said he has not spoken to Stewart to allow him to work through his own grief over the incident, did take exception to the way much of the media has portrayed the incident and related fallout.
"It has been a difficult week," Harvick said. "I think the hardest part for me has been the way the whole media thing has shaken down. It's an absolute tragic accident that has happened on both sides of the fence.
"You have one young man who is dead. You've got a guy that we know and are part of an organization that is just getting a lot of just crazy press.
"You have just a lot of unknowledgeable people reporting on a situation that know absolutely nothing about racing. It's just really unfortunate, the perception that has been given to him.
"I know he'll stay strong and fight and he'll get the right people and do all the right things. That's the part that's bothered me the most, is just the poor misrepresentation on the media side for him."
Harvick lauded members of the Stewart-Haas organization for not only supporting their leader, but also in the way they've maintained their focus in spite of all the distractions, particularly from the media.
"Everybody just has to pitch in and do their part, make sure we do everything we can to help Tony get through his situation," Harvick said.
"There's a lot of strong people at our company. Gene (co-owner Gene Haas) brings a lot to the table from a financial standpoint, being a leader. There's a lot of great sponsors that are there that are very supportive of everything we're doing.
"I think it's added more fire to everybody just to step up and keep everything headed in the right direction."

Witness to the Wild. Wellbeing, wonder and walking with polar bears.
Polar bear relaxing at Nanuk Polar Bear Lodge.
What is going on here? I thought to myself, my brow lightly furrowed, my face a mixture of disbelief and surprise. For years, I'd been hoping to see what I was now looking at, up close and personal. I'd almost given up, but now, through my camera, and tear-filled eyes, I watched a wolf move inquisitively and steadily around a group of people I had met only the night before.
Here, on the shores of Hudson Bay, against the backdrop of the boreal forest, is where I had one of the most powerful wildlife viewing experiences of my life. And that was after seeing my first polar bear earlier in the day.
This was the beginning of an incredible experience that began with a decided feeling to grab my paddleboard and return to the lake I had discovered while biking earlier in the spring. The lake wasn't remote, and the trail to it had occasional traffic, but not enough to be distracting. My paddle board was new, and the lake was pristine, calm and well sheltered.
I find spending time in spaces like this to be restoring and re-calibrating. Excursions to places of solitude in nature have been part of my weekly rhythm for many years, most of the time with my camera in tow. In the silence, restlessness gives way to steadiness, discomfort to ease, and agitation to calm. The calmness found in nature is where wellbeing resides, and as I relax into it, inspiration starts to wash over me. That's when I pull out my camera.
The rugged and wild coastline of Hudson Bay. Nature's wellness at its finest.
A 2017 study published by the Journal of Environmental Research, written by Caoimhe Twohig-Bennett and Andy Jones, provides support for my hypothesis that wellbeing is found in nature. This study, made up of more than 290 million people, reviewed 103 observational and 40 interventional studies investigating around 100 health outcomes when exposed to green space.
Green space was defined as "open undeveloped land with natural vegetation." Simply put, exposure to wilderness and wild spaces is associated with statistically significant, wide-ranging health benefits. This study provided definitive proof that being outside not only feels good, it is also good for you.
I wasn't exactly the picture of serenity when I embarked on my hike. For one, I was annoyed at myself for arriving nearly two hours later than planned. My inflatable paddle board was a lot heavier and more cumbersome to carry on my back than I had anticipated, plus it was 30 degrees Celsius and I was quickly becoming a sweaty mess. Wearing white socks, turquoise runners, a giant yellow backpack with a fluorescent green pump attached to it, and a paddle board that swayed with each step like an elephant's trunk, I set out.
Along the way, I met a staff member of a nearby resort who seemed completely unfazed by my turquoise-runner-white-sock-fluorescent-backpack-unruly-pump-sweaty-faced presentation. He simply said a friendly "Hello" and we enjoyed a lovely conversation about being outside, the beauty of nature, and the restorative silence. As our conversation unfolded under a blazing hot sun, it somehow turned to polar bears.
Turns out, the fellow I was talking to had worked as a wildlife guide in northern Manitoba, for Churchill Wild. He explained their style of wildlife viewing to me — unobtrusive, controlled, respectful. My curiosity piqued, I couldn't help but ask if they ever needed professional wildlife photographers. Just as he was providing the contact information, the owner of the resort came by, took one look at me in my all-colourful glory, told me to throw my paddleboard into his 4×4 buggy and gave me a ride to the lake.
A few days later I took the plunge and reached out to Churchill Wild. After a few rounds of emails and phone calls, and one face-to-face meeting, I signed a contract and was officially Nanuk Polar Bear Lodge bound.
No reason to be afraid here.
It was a centering response to hear. We were guests in this wild land, with nothing else around for hundreds of miles. Apart from the few hundred guests who pass through Nanuk Polar Bear Lodge during a season, the wildlife that call this section of the Hudson Bay coastline home have no human interactions. And they have no reason to be afraid, due to the respectful and controlled way in which encounters are conducted. We were guests in their home, witnesses to the wild.
My day had started abruptly and somewhat harried, with a 4:00 a.m. wake-up call to catch my flight. It had concluded with deep feelings of wellbeing and serenity after multiple encounters with polar bears and wolves. The next four days would be spent exploring the rugged wilderness around our cozy ecolodge oasis and connecting to its wildlife.

Q: What is the temperature of water vapour itself? Assuming standard atmospheric pressure, Does the water vapour created from boiling water have the temp of 100 °C? What about water vapour created by evaporation at room temperature?

A: If you have an equilibrium state then the answer is "yes" the temperature of the liquid and the vapour will be the same.
In both cases you have a large volume of system to keep at the same temperature.
When you boil some water in a kettle the vapour soon loses heat to the cooler surrounding air and starts to condense back to a liquid.
That is the reason that you can see steam.

Q: How to create a two column mobile responsive menu, when I have a Bootstrap navbar? I already have a Bootstrap responsive navbar, but now I need for the mobile version to look just like the one on the Univisión Mobile website in which there are two columns, the first one with the different categories, and the second one with that category's subcategories. I want to make sure that when the user taps on "TV" they see TV's subcategories and so on, all without leaving the nav.

Is there an easy way of doing this, if I already have a bootstrap navbar? Or would I be better off designing a whole mobile version of the menu?
My desktop code is on this fiddle:

    <button type="button" class="navbar-toggle" data-toggle="collapse" data-target=".navbar-collapse">
      Toggle navigation

    </button>

Becoming a mother and blogging has really taken me out of my heavily guarded comfort zone. I've dipped my toes in the deep dark sea that is web design, cooked/baked fruits and veggies I've never even tried eating before and pushed my own fears aside to do things that were in my son's best interest, but there comes a time when everything needs to stop, even if it's only for a brief moment. And even though the elusive mommy brain makes us think we can do five loads of laundry, bake a pie, write a blog, walk the dog, cut the lawn (who am I kidding I don't cut the lawn) and finish a 600 page book club book all in one day, sooner or later we all have to realize that we are not the energizer bunny and this is NOT all possible. Accepting this is the hardest part and the act of doing nothing really is harder than it seems.
So this past week we decided to ditch the to- do list and take a much needed trip up to the family cottage in the Kawarthas. The original plan was to embark on a more intense family trip to either the UK (to visit my best friend and her little one) or to BC, as both my husband and I are dying to see the west coast. I've been hooked on this "big baby trip" for a while (convinced that I needed to take a trip with our baby before my mat-leave was over). But with baptism planning and the stress of trying to organize a complex trip with a seven month old, we soon realized that this was not the best time for a "big trip" and boy am I happy we waited. Instead we chose to just relax and unplug in a calm and familiar place.
Autumn on the lake is absolutely stunning, the days are still warm (so you can enjoy some time on the dock soaking up the sun) and the nights are cool, which makes for a very comfortable sleep and very few bugs. The colourful trees frame the road and light up the shoreline with deep reds, burnt oranges and vibrant yellows; a parade of autumn floats dancing in the breeze. The beauty of this place demands to be seriously savoured, something that can only be done if you stop moving, close your laptop and look up from your phone.
While I have become very interested in the world of social media and blogging over the past few months and have connected with some amazing people through this virtual community, it can become a bit overwhelming and all consuming at times. I literally find myself lost in cyberspace (even in public places). The online world does have a way of sucking you in, tightening the straps and taking you along for a fast ride. This past week gave me a chance to stop swiping, double tapping and typing for a bit, a chance to look at the world first hand and enjoy. Sure there were moments when I felt like I was "missing out" on things, but I was ok with that. After this much needed break I've realized that it's ok for the world to keep turning even if I'm standing still.
As a newbie mom and blogger I have a lot to learn about balance, something that I am sure I will have to re-learn once my mat leave is over as well. It's no wonder the mommy blog and instagram world is filled with posts about the delicate balance that we need to find in order to pursue goals, be present and live in the moment. While these ideas might seem like new ones, I think this concept of balance might be something that was established long before our time, long before the world was open for business 24-7. The value of rest and the the act of doing nothing, the dolce far niente, is something that has been imprinted into our calendars but somehow erased from our modern experience, there are actually days dedicated to rest where to-do lists, work and all things stressful can be put on hold. So, after learning how important it is to unplug and how truly sweet it is to do nothing, I am going to make more of an effort to do this at least once a week. And even though the world might be spinning and open for business 24-7, because this is our modern experience, I will embrace the fact that I am standing still.


The purpose of this book ought to be clear from its title. It is an attempt to sketch briefly, mostly by way of suggestion, what significance may be discovered, for men and women living today, in the traditional scheme of the 'last things' -- death, judgement, heaven, and hell. It admits frankly that this scheme, as it has come down to us, is incredible, however valuable and helpful, not to say apparently 'true', it was for many who have gone before us in the path of Christian discipleship. But it tries to point out certain indispensable realities in human, above all in Christian, life which that outworn scheme somehow managed to present to those who accepted it.
I should like to emphasize that at best this is a 'sketch'; and that it is 'mostly by way of suggestion'. I should be the last to assume that I have said everything that might be or ought to be said on the subject, and I am very conscious of serious omissions as well as of many shortcomings. In extenuation, however, I plead that in the compass allowed me -- for these chapters were originally lectures -- nobody can say everything. What I have done is to select, according to my best judgement, what seemed of crucial importance and hence could not be omitted. And that is all that I can say, as an excuse for this book's inadequacy to the theme with which it attempts to deal.
It remains to thank the authorities of the several divinity schools in the United States which were kind enough to ask me to lecture in February 1970. The principals, deans, and other officials, as well as the theological students and others who heard the lectures, will know how deeply indebted I am to them all. The lectures, practically in their present form, were delivered at the Episcopal Theological School, Cambridge, and the Boston Theological Institute.
Two further chapters (on The Centrality of Love and After the 'Death of God') have been added, since they deal with related subjects. The second of these (Chapter Eight) originally appeared in The Church Quarterly for April 1969; I am indebted to the Editor for permission to reprint it here.

L.A. County reports highest single-day total of new coronavirus cases; 860 cases in Palmdale to date, 719 in Lancaster
by The AV Times Staff • June 11, 2020
LOS ANGELES – Los Angeles County reported another 46 deaths due to the coronavirus Thursday, while also confirming 1,857 more cases, the highest single-day total of new cases of COVID- 19.
To date (June 11), public health officials have identified 68,875 positive cases and 2,813 deaths across all areas of LA County, including 860 cases and 20 deaths in Palmdale; 719 cases and 12 deaths in Lancaster; 47 cases and nine deaths in Quartz Hill; 32 cases and two deaths in Lake Los Angeles; 41 cases and no deaths in the Littlerock/Pearblossom, Juniper Hills areas; and 24 cases and no deaths in Sun Village. View the latest detailed report here.
Of the people who have died from the virus, 93% had underlying health conditions, a percentage that has remained largely unchanged throughout the pandemic.
The new cases and deaths come one day ahead of a revised health order taking effect that will permit a wider array of businesses and attractions to reopen in Los Angeles County.
Under the new order, allowed to open beginning Friday, June 12, will be:
— gyms and fitness centers;
— professional sports venues without live audiences;
— day camps;
— museums and galleries;
— zoos and aquariums;
— campgrounds and RV parks;
— outdoor recreation such as swimming pools;
— music, film and television production; and
— hotels for leisure travel.
Movie theaters are not included in the new order, even though the state has released protocols allowing them to reopen if individual counties approve.
Los Angeles County health officials noted that public-safety restrictions will be in place at all reopening businesses, including mandates for wearing face coverings and requiring social distancing.
County public health director Barbara Ferrer stressed that the reopening of more business sectors should not be seen as an indication the county is out of the woods in terms of the coronavirus pandemic, noting, "We're still in the middle of the woods and we have a lot of risk."
Ferrer said it will remain important for residents to adhere to the health restrictions when visiting any reopened business, and for the businesses themselves to enforce them.
Highlighting the need for such precautions, health officials confirmed there has been a slight uptick in the rate of the virus' spread in the county. At the height of the pandemic, people infected with COVID-19 transmitted the virus to an average of three other people. Under strict stay-at- home orders and business closures, that number fell to below one.
But in the weeks since businesses have been allowed to reopen and more people have been mingling in the community, that infection rate has now risen above one. The county's medical services director, Dr. Christina Ghaly, said the county has enough hospital beds to handle an increase in cases, but the higher infection rate could lead to a shortage of intensive-care beds within two to four weeks.
Ghaly said the county's modeling predicts "the spread of COVID-19 in the Los Angeles County area is likely to increase gradually over time." She stressed that the predictions are based solely on actual hospitalization numbers, not on the increasing numbers of people who are leaving their homes and interacting with the public at newly opened businesses or — more recently – – massive protests against police brutality.

John Armitage is somewhat of a celebrity in the bonsai world and quite rightly so, his advice is always carefully considered and well placed. The club has had a few workshops with John, the reason we keep having them is because the club always gets a lot out of them and this time was no exception.
The highlight of today for me was John working with Graham on some mad trunk bending. The subject was a White pine, discarded from a previous New Talent contest. Graham described how he acquired the unwanted tree, now rejuvenated back into health, was now ready for work. The activity consisted of pruning, the use of an adjustable jack and a lot wire to hold it all in place. It now looks absolutely fantastic and I think it tells a good story of how something thrown away can be turned around into something really desirable.
Bob discussed how he keeps his Mame collection in an oversized pot for the majority of the year in order to aid health and development. When the tree is to be displayed, it is only then it is put into a it's 'show' pot. As the weather this year has been hot and very dry this also helps to relax the demanding watering regime of the smaller potted tree.
Another problem solved in this workshop was what was affecting Frank's Juniper, the outcome was that of Juniper scale 'Carulaspis juniperi' which causes yellowing of the green foliage due to in the sap feeding scale and with heavy infestations you can also get stem die back. This type of scale can also affect Cypress and Thuya and the scales are flat, rounded and yellow to white in colour and encrust the stems and often undersides of the foliage sprays. With regard to control, you can spray the foliage with a pesticide containing malathion or equivalent product in early summer when the more vulnerable and newly hatched scale nymphs are present. See image for detail.

Южно-корейската образователна система предвижда образованието да се провежда в следните степени училища:
 начални училища (6 години),
 средни училища (3 години),
 гимназии (3 години) и
 колежи и университети (от 2 до 4 години) с магистърски и докторски програми.

Началното образование е задължително за всички деца от 6 до 11-годишна възраст. Програмата се състои от 8 основни предмета: корейски език, математика, обществени науки, природо-знание, етика, физическо възпитание и изкуства.

Учениците в така нареченото "средно училище" (на български средно училище е това училище, което дава средно образование) – подобно на прогимназията в България, изучават определен брой задължителни учебни предмети (например английски език), както и избираеми предмети, които са с техническа или професионална насоченост.

След това учениците могат да избират между обикновени гимназии и професионални училища. Учебната програма в гимназията е доста натоварена, тъй като конкуренцията между кандидат-студентите е изключително голяма.

Южна Корея е първата страна в света, която осигурява интернет достъп до всяко начално, средно и висше учебно заведение на територията ѝ.

The $50,000 vending machine is about to debut in somewhere between 10 and 25 libraries and bookstores in 2007, including the New York Public Library in February. The machine can produce two books simultaneously in seven minutes, a time which includes all the printing, binding and cutting involved. The machine even slaps a snazzy laminated full-color cover on its creations. Books top out at around 550 pages, and right-to-left texts are possible. Production cost is about five cents per page, which should be quite a bargain for the roughly one million public domain English works currently floating around the Internets, but we're not sure what the exact costs will be levied by bookstores and copyright holders for the other titles -- there are currently 2.5 million books available for printing by the Espresso.
I'm not really sure what I think of this thing yet. If we're being optimistic and positive about it, then this could be a piece of technology which -- if it proves reliable and useful -- has the potential to take POD Publishers and help them into real sales numbers and real markets. I wouldn't mind seeing that. For all the scum POD publishers there, there are a few good ones that could use this technology to become real formidable businesses.
I'm not sure it's actually a paradigm shift at all, but I do think that if it turns out to be useful, it's a very good step in a very useful direction for the book industry.
If it meant I could buy an out of print reference book for the cheap while in the library, that would be great. Can't focus on the other implications now...too little to do, too much time.
A company called Sprout was set to debut something very similar (http://www.thebookden.com/forbes.html) in Borders stores in 2000. It never happened, I think because the company ran into glitches with the machine. I wonder if this one will have better luck.
Yeah, this could be pretty cool tool for writers to get their work out there in big numbers, though how much it helps will be directly proportional to how popular it gets.
How popular it gets will depend on the filters between writer and customer. Otherwise, some open-minded customer is going to get two volumes of garbage and never try it again. Justifiably.
In particular, I can see benefits for chapbooks, or serial novels.

Transportation Conference May Be Shelved
By Ethan Wallison
Posted April 16, 2004 at 6:21pm
Faced with a veto threat from the White House, Republican strategists on Capitol Hill say House and Senate negotiators could potentially forgo a conference report on the transportation bill and instead extend the current authorizations — perhaps into the 109th Congress.
Aides say that prospect represents a doomsday scenario and would be certain to disappoint Members who are expecting funds for projects back home. But the transportation measure is freighted with symbolic significance in this presidential election year, as the president seeks to demonstrate he can hold the line on spending in the face of a massive budget deficit.
"I don't think we have a conference report if the president plans to veto it," one senior GOP aide in the House said. "That's not the preferred option, but it's there."
Even after months of struggle and negotiation, the $275 billion highway bill cleared by the House this month came in $19 billion over the $256 billion ceiling set by the White House. Yet the funding level in the House measure is itself miles short of the $318 billion package passed by the Senate.
The final figures in both chambers reflected months of painful choices and cuts. By final passage, the House had already stripped $100 billion in funding from the initial measure envisioned by Transportation and Infrastructure Committee chairman Don Young (R-Alaska).
GOP leaders on Capitol Hill have indicated that they plan to give the White House a prominent seat at the negotiating table. The White House, for its part, has indicated that it could be flexible on its number if the House and Senate stick to key principles — among these, that no money for the bill is drawn from general revenues.
A White House spokesman noted that the House bill is "a lot closer" to what the president has in mind, but refused to speculate on the nature of a compromise.
"I think the press would love for the White House and Congress to negotiate in the press, but we won't," White House spokesman Trent Duffy said.
Whatever the case, the current authorizations will have to be extended when they expire on April 30, if no agreement can be reached before then.
President Bush has yet to use his veto pen during his term in the White House, and Speaker Dennis Hastert (R-Ill.) has indicated over the course of the past three years that he has no intention of sending the president legislation that would be rejected.
Bill Hoagland, a top aide to Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-Tenn.), said it is "premature" to be considering alternatives in the event the White House holds firm in its demands.
"I don't know why we have a legislative branch if we don't pass bills and conference bills," Hoagland said. "The White House will be involved in the conference, and we'll try to get a bill acceptable to the legislative branch and the executive branch."
Nevertheless, Hoagland added, "I do think anybody who thinks that a bill would be conferenced and sent to the president with a veto threat hanging over it is simply misinformed."

It might have just been that book, since Pictures of the Gone World, Ferlinghetti's first book, is a lot smoother. The way he plays with rhythm and rhyme inspires me, and the way he incorporates classical themes and images in his decidedly contemporary poetry gets a cool nod of approval/5.

Manifesting is an art and a science that deals with finding your unlimited potentiality as a human being. When you increase your frequency and move into an expanded state of consciousness that is aligned with the all intelligent, all powerful Universe, you will naturally create, allow and attract your desires with joy and effortless ease! You were born with the most powerful manifesting mechanics already inside you. You already are a super manifesting machine who can magnetize anything that you desire into your life. The only thing stopping you from experiencing this is the doubt and fear that you aren't this, or haven't fully accepted this as the deepest truth of your reality 24 hours a day.
Once all fear, doubt and resistance to knowing yourself as a manifesting magnet are released, you will see how effortless it is to attract everything and anything that you desire. By resting deep inside yourself through relaxation and quiet awareness of your breath, you'll let go of any attachment you have. Naturally you come to an experience of being intimately tapped into an infinite source of creativity, energy and intelligence that is connected to the entire Universe. In this space, any feeling close to fear, insecurity, doubt or separation from God completely disappear! You can only know yourself as pure creative conscious energy and nothing else.
To know yourself is to know God. This how you access your natural manifesting powers which will turn your entire life right side up! You will be able to instantly download any answers or insights you have for questions you've been pondering your entire life. You'll be able to effortlessly attract any specific outcome you desire, manifest any amount of money you need, and magnetize any person, soul mate or group of people you want to connect with. This is all done by simply diving inside to the core essence of your very being, through your deepest emotions and into to the naked truth of who and what you really are.
The Universe is conscious and totally brilliant. It already knows what you want and what you don't want in your life. When you realize this all intelligent divine playground you're living in is listening very closely to you, and reciprocating the perfect feedback to assist you along the way, you'll pay closer attention to what thoughts you're sending into the field. You will become more conscious about what you choose to believe as the "truth" and what is not the truth. You will tend to only send out a positive emotionally potent feelings about your life. Gratitude for what you do have and undemanding humble requests for your desires. Doing this you'll become a super charged manifesting magnet for your desire to find you!
Your job in life is to relax. You are here to learn how to trust in yourself and in the manifesting process that is unfolding around you. You are here to discover how easy it is to visualize what you want, and open yourself up to receiving the actual physicality of it in front of your own eyes! The deepest practice is always about letting go of fear and letting in the love. The path is about getting completely out of the way from any resistance (or non-resistance) to receiving what you want. Your job is simply to enjoy this very moment as it is. The perpetual letting go process is trust in its most raw form, and the final key to unlocking the pathway for the Universe to deliver your desired outcome for you to enjoy.
These 3 secrets will help you to transcend any blocks stopping you from receiving your desires or dream life. Practice these for the next 21 days and you will begin to step into your outrageous power, experiencing yourself as the divine manifesting being you truly are.
1. Practice the Magic Manifesting Mantra Repeat the words, Quiet Mind, Open Heart, and Relaxed Being throughout your day, feeling these messages open up a space inside every part of your body. A quiet mind, open heart and a deeply relaxed core are the most potent manifesting qualities we can have. A quiet mind is like open hand and a busy mind creates a tensed body which behaves like a closed fist. Just think how hard is it for me to hand you $10,000 in cash if you have a tight closed fist? A relaxed body, open heart and quiet mind invokes an open creative mindset that becomes naturally receptive for you to receive your desired outcome. When you have a quiet mind, your heart naturally relaxes and opens on its own accord. You become non-judgmental, patient, loving and more accepting of others and yourself. You see that whatever happens is the right experience for your souls highest growth and awakening.

2. Gently yet firmly hold onto the wild reins of your mind. The mind is like a herd of wild horses that have never been trained or tamed. When you can gain the respect and tame this herd, you will have the power to hold the mind still and focus it upon the vision and feeling you want to attract. With a confident grasp on the reins of your mind, you can be specific and clear about what you want, as well as conscious enough to let down you resistance to allowing it to come into your life. If there is any doubt, hesitancy, fear, or negative thinking about your desire, you are simply holding the reins too tight and need to trust in life's magical unfolding process. Look to where the deeper emotional conflict is inside you about receiving your desired outcome. Perhaps you think you are unworthy of it, or that it should manifest tomorrow or sooner? The Universe is not prepared to deliver it to you until you are eternally patient and 100% worthy of receiving it. When you are fully open to receiving your desire at anytime in the future, all the blocks will be magically removed and your dream will show up for you faster than you thought was possible.
3. Let go of any attachment as to HOW your desire manifests. Life is not just about getting what your ego wants, it is a spiritual journey of enlightenment along the way. You are here to wake up and realize that you are a divine being overflowing with amazing lightness, laughter, liberation and love. When you are experiencing such an ecstatic joy, appreciation for life, and playfulness throughout your day, the Universe wants to take your vibration even higher. It wants you to experience more of what you want, which means receiving ALL of your desires. When you are simply living in joy, playing in life, being the sweet childlike playful being you are deep inside, you stop being attached to your ego's desires and searching the outer world for happiness. You know that deep inside you have whatever it is you need to be happy, fulfilled, and at peace. When you are happy with your life just as it is right now, you instantly have become a super powerful manifesting magnet for attracting every single one of your desires to you.


The 'Good Water Neighbors' project's Youth component includes learning environmentally friendly building skills in regional workshops, and then building model "ecofacilities" in their own communities.
An important component of the Youth Water Trustees educational program involves learning about ecological building practices that cater to the everyday needs of communities while minimizing negative environmental impacts and creating and sustaining mutually beneficial relationships with all elements of the local ecology.
The building of model "ecofacilities" that showcase water conservation – such as rainwater harvesting systems, grey water recycling systems, constructed wetlands for waste water treatment, waste separation and recycling facilities, mud-building techniques used for outdoor seating areas and outdoor classrooms – are examples of ecofacilities built over the years.
These ecofacilities model best environmental practices – hands-on – and seek to empower youth that they, too, can contribute to change in their own communities.
A budget is allocated for developing an ecological design ("wise water" facility, or "eco-facility") in each community which Youth "Water Trustees" develop with the help of their teachers, fellow students and ecological design professionals.
Through this educational component, an emphasis is placed on the development of skills that enable students and other community members to replicate ecological constructions across the community in an effort to promote improved practices that will reduce strain on the natural environment.
Examples of designs implemented in previous years include rainwater harvesting systems, grey water recycling systems, constructed wetlands for waste water treatment, waste separation and recycling facilities, mud-buildings, outdoor classrooms and more. The importance for youth of building these 'pilot' projects / eco-facilities is that they experience undertaking a concrete action within their own community, one that benefits the community and helps to raise awareness of water and environmental issues as well.
EcoPeace enters into agreement with a local partner (usually a school) for ongoing maintenance of the facility and tries to leverage its investment to attract additional funds, to create a multiplier effect.
In Israel, eco-facilities have focused on implementing techniques for water efficiency and construction using recycled materials.
In Jordan, eco-facilities have focused on implementing techniques for water efficiency and for greening public space.
In Palestine, eco-facilities have focused on augmenting water supply and sanitation facilities, as well as implementing techniques for water efficiency.
For further detail about eco-facilities in EcoPeace communities, please see links below to individual facilities.

On the first Wednesday of each month, Toronto Congregation hosts a series of lectures and discussions on church history, theology, philosophy, scripture study and the like. Join us Wednesday, October 2, at 7:30 pm, when John Hamer's visual history of the Restoration will continue with Part 3: The Rise and Fall of Old Nauvoo (1839–44). Combining dozens of original maps and diagrams with historic images, this visual history brings the old story into new perspective. Everyone is welcome to attend. Please bring your friends along. Simple refreshments will be provided.
Painting of Old Nauvoo by David Hyrum Smith, son of Joseph and Emma Smith.
"A Visual History of the Restoration, Part 3: 1839–44"
After the failures of Independence, Kirtland, and Far West, Nauvoo was the final attempt by early church members to gather together and build Zion. While the city grew rapidly, Nauvoo was divided by controversial, secret practices, which led to internal rifts that prefigured the schism in the Restoration. Rumors of polygamy, alongside the practices of block-voting and abuses of the city's charter antagonized Nauvoo's neighbors, leading ultimately to the assassination of church founder, Joseph Smith Jr. and the abandonment of Nauvoo.

      Boost.DLL is a header only library. To start with the library you only need
      to include <boost/dll.hpp> header.
      After that you are free to import and export functions and variables. Importing
      code requires linking with boost_filesystem
      and boost_system libraries.

using namespace boost;

// `extern "C"` - specifies C linkage: forces the compiler to export function/variable by a pretty (unmangled) C name.
#define API extern "C" BOOST_SYMBOL_EXPORT

                Import (code that uses DLL/DSL):

                Export (DLL/DSL sources):

                import_alias<T>(...)

                BOOST_DLL_ALIAS

      It is safe to use imported variable or function because the variables returned
      from import<T>(...)
      and import_alias<T>(...)
      functions internally hold a reference to the shared library.

      BOOST_SYMBOL_EXPORT is just
      a macro from Boost.Config that expands into the __declspec(dllexport) or __attribute__((visibility("default"))). You are free to use your own macro for
      exports.

Note

        On Linux/POSIX/MacOS link with library "dl". "-fvisibility=hidden"
        flag is also recommended.

      If you need a low level API boost::dll::shared_library
      will suit you. If you want to load a library, just construct that class with
      a path to the library as a parameter:

boost::dll::shared_library lib("/test/boost/application/libtest_library.so");

      Now you can easily import symbols from that library using the get and get_alias
      member functions:

int plugin_constant = lib.get<const int>("integer_variable");
boost::function<int()> f = lib.get<int()>("function_returning_int");
int& i = lib.get_alias<int>("alias_to_int_variable");

      In case of boost::dll::shared_library
      it is safe to use imported symbols only until boost::dll::shared_library instance is not destroyed.

      Query libraries using boost::dll::library_info
      and get symbol infos using boost::dll::symbol_location,
      boost::dll::this_line_location
      and boost::dll::program_location.

Via Danubia: on the trail of the ancient Romans
The Via Danubia is almost all about the Romans, and even the name is Latin. The Roman Empire left behind many traces along the Danube and this route enables anyone with an interest in history to learn about – and experience – virtually every aspect of Roman culture. ...
City:	Passau
The Danube even owes its name to the Romans: back then it was called Danubius, after Danuvius, the god of rivers. It's reason enough to dig a little deeper into this history and discover what fascinating traces of the Romans are still visible today. The idea behind the Via Danubia is the same as that of the Via Claudia Augusta that runs between Füssen and Donauwörth and the Via Raetica between Donauwörth and Kelheim: to create a long-distance cycle route dedicated to the region's ancient history. Via Danubia opened in 2001 as a 220km stretch of the Danube Cycle Route between Bad Gögging and Passau. In 2006 an additional section from Günzburg to Oberndorf am Lech was opened to the public. This stretch lies much further to the west and for the most part runs just south of the Danube.
Most of the Danube region between Bad Gögging and Passau was already populated by Celtic settlers before the Romans occupied it in the classical era. They effectively made the Danube a 'wet frontier' against the notoriously violent Teutons in the north. Today you can see archaeological evidence of the Roman era at various outdoor sites and in many history museums along the Via Danubia. Information boards at 17 different places tell you more about the visible reminders of the region's Roman past. You don't even have to leave Bad Gögging for the first one: a Roman Baths Museum at the site where the Romans bathed in the healing sulphur springs that bubble out of the ground here. And to this day Bad Gögging remains one of Bavaria's top spa resorts. Roman history can also be traced in Regensburg, or Castra Regina as it was then, and in Straubing, Vilshofen and Passau. And dotted between these towns you'll come across remnants of military sites, such as the Roman fort in Steinkirchen or the fort with a neighbouring civilian settlement in Moos-Burgstall. The UNESCO-protected Limes frontier is still clearly visible in Windorf between Künzing and Passau. You can get another good view of this quintessentially Roman relic on the second leg of the Via Danubia, between Oberndorf and Günzburg, a town that emerged from the Roman military camp Guntia. Faimingen's open-air museum at the Apollo Grannus Temple is another of the route's highlights. Grundremmingen was the site of a Roman settlement, Aislingen had a fort, and in Holzheim-Ellerbach and Wertingen-Roggden you can still see the remnants of Roman burial grounds. Burghöfe in Mertingen was the site of another Roman fort, and is also the point where the Via Claudia Augusta ends. The Via Danubia, however, continues to its final checkpoint in Oberndorf, where there is further evidence of earlier Roman settlements. With so many Roman relics to discover along both routes, you might even be fluent in Latin by the time you've finished!

Looking for a new lipstick to try? Give Estee Lauder's new Signature Lipstick a try.
Estee Lauder has worked hard to revamp their iconic Signature Lipstick from it's original formulation, from the packaging down to the lipstick itself. The tube is now sleeker and the cap snaps shut. The lipstick is now more emollient, has a lightweight feel and is moisturizing with the signature scent we've come to know from Estee Lauder, vanilla and fig. I never get tired of this scent on my lips. I've been wearing this lipstick in Burnished Bronze and Rich Currant quite a bit and I was happy to see that this lipstick is pretty long wearing, particularly when I wear Rich Currant. This darker shade almost seems to stain my lips.
You can find this lipstick at Estee Lauder counters everywhere and online, where you can now get free shipping with a $50 purchase.

Al-Jazeera claims Jews created, control porn industry, hate Jesus Christ
Midan Voice explained that whenever someone tried to present "the facts about the role of the Jews in porn," they were shut down with antisemitism as the excuse.

Midan Voice, an Al-Jazeera audio channel directed at youth, discussed Jewish control of the porn industry in their latest video, according to the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI).
The video claims that in 2016, the Knesset passed a bill to remove porn websites throughout the country because they harm children, which raises the question: "How come the Jews ban pornography in their own country when they were the first to expand porn and invest in it to begin with?"
"The inventor of the sex phone lines was Gloria Leonard, who, throughout her porn journey, would present herself as a good Jewish girl from a New York neighborhood," the video claimed.
It then further explained that Jews controlled Playboy magazine since its inception.
The video then proceeded to list famous porn stars in history who were Jewish, including "American Jew Ron Jeremy, who is known as the 'porn legend'" and "Steven Hirsch, a 57-year-old Jew," who is known as the "Donald Trump of porn."
The video further claimed that porn was created as a means to "pollute" Christian culture. "When [Jewish porn producer Al Goldstein] was asked why the Jews dominate the porn industry, he said clearly: 'The only reason that the Jews play a role in the porn industry is that we hate Christ.'"

A: get_posts() returns an Array so $list_item->ID becomes $list_item[0]->ID.
But you can do get_post() instead which returns the post object.

I'm melting in the summer heat. Even the mornings are humid and hot and I'd rather be eating ice cream for breakfast just to cool me down. But since I probably shouldn't do that, I found a great compromise with breakfast popsicles. Whip up a batch on Sunday night and you'll have a smart, portable breakfast waiting for you in the freezer every morning of the week. They taste like a treat, so you (and more importantly, your kids) would never guess that they're actually made with healthy ingredients. All three varieties of these breakfast popsicles are made with the same Greek yoghurt base, and you can use dairy-free options with coconut milk or almond milk if you prefer. Sweetened with a bit of honey and your favourite fruits, they're as good as eating dessert for breakfast.
I like making a variety of flavors so that I don't have to eat the same thing every day, so I mix together the yoghurt and milk in one big bowl and then use that as the base for all three kinds of breakfast popsicles. I start with the muesli popsicles, layering the ingredients together in a mold. Then, I add the chia seeds and let the yoghurt sit for 30 minutes and layer the mixture with fruit inside the mold. Lastly, I add the cocoa and peanut butter to the remaining mixture and layer it with bananas. Three kinds of pops, minimal dishes thanks to one yoghurt base. That's a win in my book!

Where did the idea for Underground Elephant come from?
The idea for Underground Elephant came about while sailing off the island of Lanai – I manifested the entire process from start to exit. It took about an hour for it to make sense, but it was then it all happened… everything.
The day starts the night before when I prep from 8pm – 10pm. I use an organization application and make a list of important items. Then I review my calendar and start visualizing the next day. At 6am when I wake up, I make a cup of coffee and check my phone for emails. From about then until 7am I am on my home computer, then I drive to work where I use that time for calls. I get to work at about 7:30am and then I am in meetings or working through ideas with managers. My goal is to be more and more people-centric, discovering people-challenges before they happen. Lunch is at my desk, and rarely do I leave the campus for a meeting or event. At the end of the day I head to the gym, and then home for family time. It's important that I bring the same passion and enthusiasm home as I do to work each morning. So I make an effort to have energy, and be creative when pulling into the driveway. I might be a pirate, or co-explorer with my three-year-old boy and it will take a clear head. That is until 8pm, when it all starts again.
Over the last few years I have changed my approach to executing on ideas. Before I would react when they occurred, often sending an ad hoc email. Now I take a more structured and restrained approach by forcing myself to wait. That gives whatever concept I am hatching time to cook often sitting somewhere quiet to think on it. If it's complicated and later in the evening, bourbon helps.
Amazon's entrance into the food services business excites me, and grocery stores will go the way of the shopping mall. Enjoy your demise, chilly frozen-food isle.
Prep is everything, and the secret to life. There was a reason you got homework as a kid, so why stop because your an adult? Take twenty minutes an evening to think about what you need to do the next day, and you will be surprised how much it pays off.
I would have taken better care of my body and mind as a younger man. Fitness and diet only became part of my routine in the last five years, and makes things harder than they have to be today. Start running, and thinking about what you put in your body. Both will make you better later.
I don't believe in luck, but rather you get what you think you deserve. That is more important than thinking good things will happen. They won't unless you believe that they will, which means more certainty.
Avoid looking at things with a biased lense based on data that might not be totally accurate. Sometimes things can be both right and wrong at the same time limiting opportunities. Challenge all your assumptions at least once a year to keep growing.
I'm embarrassed to say it but I didn't pay attention to the balance sheet, and focused too much on profit and loss statements. This led to a shortage of cash, and pressure on the business even though the company was making money. My advice is to own all the numbers, not just the sales and marketing.
Ketchup and Mustard in the same bottle. I am sure this hasn't been invented, and it would save a lot of time at baseball games.
I gave a tip to the manager at a restaurant who got our ten-person business group a great table on a busy night without a reservation. We had a wonderful evening and were able to advance the business conversation while the managers and staff made us comfortable.
Evernote – I use it a few times a day to keep organized and to prep.

Authorities say a fire has destroyed 75 boats inside an Indianapolis storage facility, causing an estimated $1.5 million in damage.
The Indianapolis Fire Department said no one was injured in the fire at the Just Add Water Boats winter storage facility that was reported about 11:55 p.m. Sunday by multiple 911 callers. The facility is in the 4000 block of Bethel Avenue on the city's southeast side, near East Raymond Street and South Sherman Drive.
Dozens of firefighters worked for nearly two hours to get the fire under control. The department said all of the boats inside the facility were destroyed.
The fire department said the boats contained fuel, oil and magnesium, which made putting out the fire more complex. Water intensified the burning magnesium and spread the burning liquids, so the department used a product that leaves a foam coating in extinguishing the fire.
Just Add Water Boats has a separate dealership at 234 S. Franklin Road, near Interstate 465 and U.S. 40, where customers can test-drive boats on a lake during warmer weather. The company was founded in 1972.
