Title: Japanese tsunami reaffirms need for mangroves
KARACHI, March 22: The threat of damage and destruction from tsunamis and cyclones can be minimised to a great extent if the existing mangrove forests are protected and more trees are planted along the coast, said officials of the IUCN – the World Conservation Union on Tuesday.
Speaking at a press briefing on "Effects of tsunami in Japan and disaster risk reduction mechanisms in Pakistan", IUCN`s Asia chief Aban Marker Kabraji said that mangrove forests not only worked as natural barriers in case of a tsunami or a cyclone but were also cheaper alternatives to the stonewalls or other man-made structures which might be effective for normal sea waves but could not withstand high tides caused by a cyclone.
She said Japan had cultivated between 200- and 300-metre-wide coastal belts for forests which successfully buffered most of the wave energy when the tsunami hit the country. She said better land use planning, which had kept the locations of the major population and financial centres away from the coast, were less affected. These greenbelts not only saved the countless lives but would also eventually help in making recovery more efficient, she added.
Referring to the Asian tsunami of 2004, she said that the damage was quite less where the coasts were protected with plantations in India, Sri Lanka and Indonesia. She added that the villages, which had kept the mangrove plantations and coral reefs intact, managed to survive without a massive damage.
Similarly, she said that Bangladesh planted mangrove forests and build mud dykes along the coast during the past decade after facing many cyclones over the years. Some time back when another cyclone had hit the country, it was observed that destruction due to the sea surge would have been massive had there been no mangroves and mud dykes.
She said the mangrove forests also worked as breeding grounds for commercially important marine food species. This way not only the coastal communities involved in fishing activities were benefited but the country`s overall economy was strengthened with an increase in seafood exports, she added.
The IUCN regional chief said that mangroves were also one of the best carbon sinks and by planting these trees environment would benefit.
She highlighted the need for planting more mangrove forests besides protecting the existing mangroves so that not only the sea intrusion, which also destroyed sweet subsoil water and subsequently ruined fertile agricultural land, was countered but in case of natural disasters like cyclones and tsunamis the coastal communities also suffered less.
Ms Kabraji said that a one-mile-wide greenbelt having mangroves and other plantations should be reserved along the coast while planning development schemes so that these could be protected from natural disasters, which would continue to come particularly keeping in view the climate change relating to global warming, subsequent glacial melt leading to sea level rise, etc. In the existing uplift projects, the cutting of existing trees should be stopped strictly and trees be planted wherever possible.
She recalled that the floods that ravaged this country last year had wreak havoc on those areas where the tree cover was less. She said that had there been trees in mountains in the northern parts of the country there would have been less flash floods and there would been lesser breeches in the river dykes had the forests, which also strengthen the dykes, in the kutcha areas not been cut down ruthlessly.
The mangrove cover in the Indus delta region spread over 600,000 hectares in the 1950s but owing to the ruthless logging and less amount of freshwater flowing in the Indus downstream from Kotri the existing thick forest cover was only around 86,000 hectares, said IUCN country representative Shah Murad Aliani.
He said that while the IUCN was already involved in mangrove plantations for over a decade, a major project in collaboration with the government was also being planned to plant mangroves over 100,000 hectares.
He said that a tsunami had hit the Pakistani coast in 1945 in which over 5,000 lives had been lost, but the loss could be many times more if such a disaster hit the coast now. He said that cyclones had been hitting the coast and the most recent one was Phet that had hit the Gwadar in Balochistan and Keti Bunder in Sindh.
Ghulam Haider Shah and Rafiul Haq also spoke.

This abandoned farm home was once the John Frank property, but no home was built here until after 1878 according to the Belden Map.
This home was last owned by religious pugilists (aka Christian boxers). There are Christian photos and boxing photos hanging throughout the home. There is a boxing bag and barbells/weights out back. 3 wood stoves were used to heat the place.
On Jan. 26, 2012 they were filming a movie here..


Designed by William Ravn for Vita, the Silvia contemporary lampshade consists of scale-like pieces which link to create a natural artichoke form. Elegant layers of thin, polypropylene leaves form the spherical fixture's striking profile. Each cleverly designed shade can be used as a pendant, table, or floor lamp, arrives flat-packed, and assembles into a three-dimensional masterpiece in mere minutes.


Just before Russia countered sanctions for its role in the Ukraine crisis with a ban on food imports from the US, EU, Canada, Australia, and Norway, it was reportedly lining up alternative sources for meat, poultry, fish, fruits and vegetables. Latin America, in particular, was seen as likely to gain export trade.
Russia announced its one-year ban August 7. By month's end, Global Meat News was reporting that Argentina and Russia had reached agreement to double Argentine meat exports to almost from 15,000 tons in 2013 to almost 30,000 tons in 2015.
Datamyne's trade data on Argentina's food exports to Russia shows the growth in this trade already well under way in August. Comparing the data for August 2014 with August 2013, the value of Argentine exports to Russia overall increased 37% – while the value of food exports surged 51%.
Interestingly, the trade data for July, which shows just under a 4% increase in Argentine exports to Russia overall compared to July of the previous year, clocks a 543% in boneless, frozen beef.
Meanwhile, Reuters reports that about 90 new meat plants in Brazil have been approved to send exports to Russia. Datamyne's Brazilian trade data shows increases in exports to Russia of 22% for boneless, frozen beef (HS020230), 96% for swine meat, frozen (HS020329), and 50% for chicken cuts (HS020714) in August 2014 over August 2013.


The new PUBG Mobile update version 0.12.0 is expected to arrive next week with new features including Darkest Night mode, a spectator mode, and a more competitive version of Survive Till Dawn.
After releasing update 0.12.0 in beta, PUBG Mobile is finally going to roll out the stable version of the update. Tencent has officially revealed in a press statement that it will be bringing the new update next week. Judging by the past updates, there is a possibility that the new update will start rolling out around April 16. The new update is expected to bring Darkest Night mode, a spectator mode, and a more competitive version of Survive Till Dawn.
-Crosshair Modifications – The red dot, holographic, 2x scope and 3x scopes can be adjusted to different colors, along with multiple shape variations of the red dot reticle.
Survive Till Dawn 2.0 should bring a more challenging environment where we can expect more competitive zombies along with some new ones as well as new weaponry. The Darkest Night mode will be a new addition where players can team up or go solo to fight off zombies and poison gas for 30 minutes to escape. Probably one of the best features will be the new Spectator Mode where players will be able to observe live-action gameplays of their friends. Lastly, we have crosshair modifications for the red dot, 2x scope and 3x scope which could help in improving your shooting accuracy.

Boston Doubles Down on Providing Financial Empowerment to Residents

In lower-income neighborhoods, where residents might be more familiar with check-cashing fees than inheritance taxes, a financial empowerment center can serve as an oasis amid businesses that exploit Americans who live paycheck to paycheck.

Job Training Synced With Childcare Gets Boston Mothers Into New Careers
In Boston, 46 percent of households don't have the recommended three months' savings to lean on in case of loss of regular income. That number rises to 69 percent for African-American households and 75 percent for Latino ones.
Last week, Boston Mayor Marty Walsh announced the creation of a new Office of Financial Empowerment in order to advise city residents about personal finance and wealth management, and offer job search assistance, financial coaching and career development tools.
"We didn't want to have an office that just answers questions or has information on our website," says Trinh Nguyen, director of the city's Office of Jobs and Community Services, which will oversee the effort. "The Federal Reserve and a lot of other agencies do that well here. We wanted to make a dent in the work we do."
The United Way and LISC will be providing funding for two brick-and-mortar locations for face-to-face communication with residents — one in Roxbury and one in the Financial District (the latter will be operated by the Jewish Vocational Service).
"Having the financial opportunity centers right in the neighborhood and providing direct services is very important to us," says Nguyen. "The expansion into the financial empowerment center model [as cities like New York and Philadelphia have done] will enhance the current employment services that we are providing with long-term, intensive engagement for 200 families or individuals with bundled career services, income support and financial coaching."
The Office of Financial Empowerment hopes to increase financial stability of its clients through consistent coaching via a web-based assessment tool aimed at navigating employment opportunities. Nguyen points out that 80 percent of their target constituency use smartphones on a daily basis. Like the Easy Food Stamps app I wrote about last month, this is further acknowledgment that the affluent aren't the only people who could be taking advantage of "life hacks."
"The evaluation software will not be used just for job placement and retention, which is what we've already been doing," says Nguyen, "but we also want to track net access, net worth and credit scores over time. We think that that's a more concrete, substantial way in which we can change people's lives on top of the policy piece."
The Roxbury site was chosen because of previous success in the neighborhood during the city's Earned Income Tax Credit campaign. They believe local residents have proved a willingness to commit to the discipline of the program, which Nguyen compares to sticking with a fitness or dieting app. Clients "might already have a steady job or steady income. They just have the desire and ability to stick with a plan. It's not for 10,000 people. It has to be targeted, so that we can meet these successful outcomes."
Mayor Walsh is the vice chair of the Cities of Opportunity Task Force, established by the U.S. Conference of Mayors. Although this initiative fits within the conceptual goal of the task force to reduce inequality, Nguyen stresses that the Office of Financial Empowerment is about taking actionable steps. "Whatever it is that we've been doing for the past 10 to 20 years may have helped," she says, "but it's not denting inequality and access. I'm not trying to criticize previous practices, but it doesn't hurt to try something more systematic and evidence-based to help people move out of poverty and into a more stable environment."

Ed McGaa, Eagle Man, is an American citizen, a Teton Oglala Lakota (Sioux) born on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, and a successful writer. He studied under Chief Eagle Feather and Chief Fool's Crow, influential Sioux holy men, honoured as a six-time Sun Dance ceremony participant and is now regarded as a world-leader in advocating indigenous wisdoms. As an author his best-selling books include Native Wisdom: Perceptions of the Natural Way and Mother Earth Spirituality: Healing Ourselves and Our World.
At one time he was a warrior, a combat warrior. As a Marine fighter pilot, he flew the F4 Phantom, during 110 combat missions in Vietnam. Of this time he admits, that facing life and death on an almost constant schedule, was certainly memorable. Being a warrior was in his blood since childhood when he was disappointed at not being old enough to serve like his hero brother who was on Tarawa and Saipan in the Marines against Japan. Ed went to Korea as a teenager, serving in the Marines. He was promoted to corporal rank which was far below on the military totem pole. He never dreamed that he would someday become a Marine pilot and hold the rank of Captain. Eventually he was promoted to Major but left the military attend law school where he obtained his law degree. Ed was once quoted about this change in career as saying, 'I probably should have remained within the Marines, content and happy to be with fellow warriors. I would never have had to write all these books I have attempted and finished.' Thankfully for his many readers and students around the world he stuck with the written word.


If you take this product in context with the Cadbury's Screme Egg, which featured earlier in the week, you might notice that the Cadbury's Halloween goodies actually have a distinctively Easter theme. Essentially this bag of 'Dead Heads' consist of milk chocolate eggs with caramel inside, and are not dissimilar to the Cadbury's Caramel Mini Eggs available at Easter time.
As with the Screme Eggs, these Dead Heads have had a Halloween make-over and are now themed for the scary season. Each chocolate has a spooky face moulded into the chocolate, to give the impression of decapitated (dead) heads. The caramel is red in colour to give a gruesome looking filling, but thankfully in taste is the regular Cadbury's caramel. I do really like Cadbury's caramel, and love its flavour in conjunction with their chocolate, so these are an easy flavour pleaser for me.
My girls tried these today and loved them! Cadbury might recycle their Easter wares, but we love the gimmickry anyway!

Mental Health Month ACT
Rachel Perkins on matters Recovery and Recovery Colleges
Surgeon, Professor Atul Gawande in 2014 Reith Lectures 'The Future of Medicine':
"We think our job is to ensure health and survival. But really it is larger than that. It is to enable well-being - and well-being is ultimately about sustaining the reasons one wishes to be alive…"
It was such an honour to sit in a forum with Rachel Perkins making a presentation on Recovery and Recovery Colleges. Rachel is an international expert on Recovery Colleges. She established the first Recovery College (RC) in 2009 in South West London.
On the afternoon of 9th July 2019, myself and my colleagues, staff from the mental health sector, both community and government, consumers and carers were delighted to be in this forum where Rachel explored recovery for people with lived experience of mental health issues.
Rachel discussed how a diagnosis of a mental health condition may be a devastating and life changing event. This made me reflect a bit more on it. Looking at mental health issues from a societal angle of stereotype, prejudice and discrimination made me see a different picture of the everyday challenges for people with lived experience.
Rachel has a captivating voice that draws you to pay attention and listen to every word
she has to say. Listening to her speak about the challenges that people with lived experience of mental health face when rebuilding their life and I couldn't agree more that no amount of therapy can combat the prejudice and very real day to day challenges recovery involves.
Recovery is a personal journey that encapsulates hope, self-determination and taking control of one's life, opportunity and equal citizenship. Mental health services do not provide recovery but supporting individuals in their recovery through ways that promote wellbeing and enable them access professional expertise and lived experience (what RCs do in an educational environment) will see them grow, discover their possibilities and live a fulfilling life.
My understanding of the Recovery College concept from the discussions, is that it's a cocktail of lived experience of mental health combined with professional expertise in mental health issues in an educational setting. This means that it involves co-production and co-designing of courses based on this combination of experience. Since the RC is now up and running in Canberra, it was good to hear from someone who has been part of designing and establishing the RC in the UK. Participating in a Recovery College is a good start to rebuilding one's life.
My parting shot from the day is that recovery is a personal journey but not one to be taken alone.

One of Arif & Bintoak's major recent accomplishments is the Raffles Hotel at Wafi City, Dubai. A 19-storey construction, the hotel has certainly been one of the company's most prestigious projects, with design elements incorporated from both the Middle East and Asia. It has 188 well-appointed guest rooms and 52 luxurious suites, as well as many business and recreational facilities. The hotel complex also houses 244,000 sq. ft of retail space over two floors.
The design brief was to create a monumental hotel in the heart of Dubai's Oud Metha District, while emulating the distinctive Egyptian style of Wafi City. The creation of the pyramid proved a great challenge in the design process. After numerous studies (sketches, drawings and perspectives), the shape of the pyramid was designed in such a way that it gave the impression of a much larger pyramid than the actual footprint. The three wings also trace the line of the larger pyramid, suggesting a bigger volume than the hotel actually occupies. These wings, with their consistent slope, provide for spacious terraces, as well as a variation from floor to floor. The Columns are intricately carved with Egyptian hieroglyphics, and lush materials and water features decorate the hotel's lobby, continuing the ancient Egyptian theme that inspired the hotel's pyramid structure.


The lessons offered by the Zapatista movement of Chiapas, Mexico are more pertinent now than ever. As the "pink tide" of left Latin American governments recede and the right resurges throughout the Americas and the world, the Zapatistas offer a different way forward. Instead of seeking state power, they have remained steadfast in their commitment to build an autonomous government system beyond the logic of capital and the nation state, and continuously resist attacks on their communities by all sides of the Mexican political spectrum, including the current "progressive" Lopez Obrador administration.
Autonomy Is in Our Hearts gives a detailed account of this autonomous government system based on hundreds of testimonies from within the Zapatista base communities. It is rooted in Dylan's own experiences of years of Zapatista solidarity work and as a student of Tsotsil, a Mayan language indigenous to the highlands Zapatista communities of Chiapas.

Leo Moon and Aries Moon are very compatible. They have a great deal of respect for each other, as they have a lot in common. Both of them are independent and believe in strength. They both want to be loved.
While Aries Moon wants things now, Leo Moon wants things to last forever. Aries is happy being noticed, while Leo is happiest when they are the center of attention. They may keep these desires secret, and harbor ill will towards the partner that gets more attention than they do. These issues can cause some disagreement or competition, but if both partners are willing to work it out, they can be overcome without too much difficulty.
Both Leo Moon and Aries Moon will hide behind their own individual strength, wanting to repress any feelings of neediness, weakness or inadequacy. They are too proud to admit they may need help. Overall, these two signs can have a long and happy future together as long as they work out the little jealousy issues that may crop up from time to time. They are both very supportive of each other and can help each grow in the direction they wish for.
Leo Moon and Taurus Moon may get along with some compromising along the way. This is usually done by one partner rather than equally. They may share a common bond that keeps them together despite the challenges. Both partners are loyal, protective and enjoy comfort. They each want someone who is steadfast, warm and committed to the relationship. Both are generous to a fault, yet inflexible about their individual opinions.
Taurus Moon may find Leo Moon's need to be the center of attention and playfulness distracting or challenging at times. Leo Moon may think that Taurus Moon doesn't pay them enough attention or they may think Taurus lacks a sense of humor. Both have a solid stubborn streak that may make compromising difficult. They use their resources very differently. Leo's loud melodramatics may disrupt Taurus' serenity at times.
This combination can be very tricky since there are so many similarities, yet those differences really create issues. With a lot of work between these two, this pairing could work. Unless both partners are truly committed to making it work, however, it will be a hard road to follow despite their similarities. Each partner has the impulse to drop the relationship and move on, yet they both understand the potential underneath for an amazing, productive relationship.
Leo Moon and Gemini Moon are loyal friends to each other. They have enough in common that they should make a great couple. They both enjoy a good sense of humor; they both are witty and enjoy life. They are both fun-loving and have an optimistic outlook on life.
Gemini Moon likes to flit from one activity to the next, socializing as they go. Leo Moon takes things more seriously. They truly want to be appreciated. They are passionate and want a stable home life. Gemini doesn't take life seriously, and may end up hurting Leo's feelings at times. Leo has a very strong sense of pride that can easily be bruised.
On the good side, Gemini Moon's ease of networking with others can work in Leo's favor. They can make connections and find opportunities that will let Leo shine. Most of the time, this pairing will get along famously and complement each other well. As long as they can work through their minor differences, this could be a terrific relationship for both parties.
Leo Moon and Cancer Moon may get along very well. One partner is usually more tolerant in this pairing. They may create a wonderfully fulfilling family. In some cases, they may notice that any negative feelings feel twice as strong in this relationship.
Both partners in this couple are protective and loyal. They may also be materialistic. Home and family is important to both. They love domestic tranquility. Cancer Moon may be moody, sensitive, cautious and private, while Leo Moon is sociable, has a good sense of humor and wants applause and recognition. This can be a good pairing because Leo's confidence can help Cancer's anxiousness. Cancer will appreciate Leo's indulgence when they feel needy. Cancer can nurture Leo's ego. On the down side, Leo's need to express themselves creatively may be inhibited by Cancer, and Cancer's need to be emotionally secure may be inhibited a bit by Leo. With a few adjustments, they both can express their needs more easily and give the other love in the way they best receive it.
Leo Moon's insecurities and problems are rarely brought out in the open, so it may be difficult for Cancer Moon to get to know them as intimately as they would wish to. Leo also has a tendency to blow everything out of proportion, which doesn't help Cancer feel secure. Cancer Moon is shy and private, which can make it difficult for Leo to be in the spotlight and gain the social recognition they crave. They can complement each other well with some effort. Cancer Moon will always support Leo's goals and will not compete for the spotlight. Leo Moon will show appreciation for Cancer's support and sympathy.
Unlike many couples who are the same Moon sign, Leo Moon paired with Leo Moon is fraught with challenges. While they do want the same things, they are so competitive for these desires that they are constantly at odds. They will admire each other, but in order to make this relationship work, they need more than admiration.
Both partners want to be the center of attention. This will cause strife right off the bat as the one getting less attention will sulk and feel sorry for themselves. They both enjoy grand gestures and drama. While they are loyal, it may not be enough to keep them together. The only way this couple will work is if each person is centered on the other, giving them their full attention and respect. While both want to be in charge, they will need to take turns to be truly happy. They need to learn how to feed their egos without doing it at the expense of the other.
Their sunny personalities prevent them from admitting their weaknesses, and they may have problems opening up to each other. If they can work out their issues, they can be a strong, happy couple. It is the rare Leo combo that can do this, however.
Leo Moon and Virgo Moon have about a fifty-fifty chance of making their relationship work. Negative feelings that come up may feel stronger in this pairing. While they share many outlooks, they respond differently.
Leo Moon and Virgo Moon are two sides of the same coin in a way. While Leo is dramatic, seeking attention and glory, Virgo is quiet, reserved and content to be in the background. Leo wants to show their feelings in grand gestures while Virgo prefers to show their feelings in quiet, practical ways. Leo is a bit lazy, funny and playful and Virgo is hardworking, disciplined and organized. Leo wants praise; Virgo gives criticism. While both partners value family and a good home life, they approach it differently. Leo sees their home and family as a reflection of themselves, while Virgo views it as an opportunity to strive for perfection through service.
Leo Moon and Libra Moon are fairly well matched. They share a deep friendship and loyalty that builds a foundation for what could be a very long relationship. Affectionate and romantic, both partners want a family and love to care for children. They are friendly and personable.
Leo Moon wants to be the center attraction and tends to be a bit authoritarian. Libra Moon is accommodating and diplomatic. This can bother Libra at times, as they feel they may be compromising too often. Leo may get frustrated with Libra's indecisiveness. They both have strong wills that may oppose each other once in awhile. While Leo Moon is a bit egotistical and individualistic, Libra Moon learns more about themselves through the give and take of relationships. They find it easy to cooperate and harmonize. They can make an amazingly loving relationship.
What makes this pairing work is Leo's honor and appreciation of Libra's ability and willingness to see both sides of a situation. They have a great time together. Libra will find Leo's inner strength very attractive. They are a good match emotionally, and they can usually make a very durable relationship together.
Leo Moon and Scorpio Moon will challenge each other greatly. One will need to make compromises to make the relationship work. This may lead to resentment. Both partners here need commitment and loyalty from each other. Neither one is into brief one night stands. They are each strong willed, inflexible and proud. They both need to feel they are in control.
Leo Moon always sees the bright side, while Scorpio Moon tends to dwell on the dark. Leo is direct, warm, humorous and outgoing; Scorpio is private, jealous, distrustful and deep. There is a lot for this pairing to overcome to create a successful relationship. If they are successful, they will be surrounded by great intensity and power. In order to do this, they need to let go of their fears of intimacy and reveal their true natures.
Scorpio Moon is more suspicious of what lies on the surface. They are always searching for the motives of others. Leo Moon accepts others on face value, and they may feel that Scorpio is stirring up trouble where it doesn't exist. As long as each person is willing to accept the differences in the other, this relationship may work out. If they have the drive to stick it out, they could have a very nice time together.
Leo Moon and Sagittarius Moon make a happy couple. They have a great amount of understanding on how the other one ticks. Friendly, generous and optimistic, these two play very well together. They will have a great time going out together, playing games, and living free.
Leo Moon is very loyal, and they want to know that they have Sagittarius' full attention. They also need to feel appreciated to be happy. Sagittarius Moon needs to feel the winds of freedom, both emotionally and at home. They may be rather tactless, which may hurt Leo's pride. Leo takes everything very personally. If they can overcome these small issues, they can have a very fulfilling life together. They may be very lucky when they are together, and they will prosper almost effortlessly in the eyes of others.
These two are great fun to be around. They suit each other to a T the majority of the time. You may find them traveling the world, clubbing, and enjoying all manners of sport. Enterprising and cheerful, these two will certainly light up any room they walk into.
Leo Moon and Capricorn Moon may be happy together, but usually one partner ends up constantly trying to please the other. In most cases, Leo Moon won't appreciate the directness of Capricorn, and Capricorn Moon won't appreciate the generosity of Leo.
These two are opposites. Leo Moon wants to make the dramatic gesture and attract attention; Capricorn Moon is more serious, subdued and controlled. Leo Moon may be playful and a bit lazy; Capricorn Moon is responsible and hardworking. Leo Moon shows love through romantic gestures and expects praise. Capricorn Moon shows love through practical gifts like making a meal or taking the car into the shop. Both Leo and Capricorn will tend to feel inhibited and overwhelmed by the other.
Their differences will stand out, causing them to constantly create unhappiness in their partner unless they can learn to accommodate the other. This is a very difficult pairing to make work. The detachment of Capricorn Moon will drive Leo Moon to distraction. They will never feel the center of attention while the detachment is there. Leo's need for praise and attention tends to make Capricorn pull out their hair. Chances are both partners will feel it is time to cut their losses and move on at some point in this relationship.
Leo Moon and Aquarius Moon can have an incredible relationship, or they could fight over just about everything. If they make sure that they are both on the same page, they should be a good match. Once they make the effort to understand the other's point of view, they should be able to work together.
Leo Moon likes groups as long as the group is focused on them. Aquarius Moon needs a group, yet wants to stand out. Leo loves to be the adored head of a traditional family while Aquarius wants change, new things and wants to dedicate their lives to helping mankind. Leo lives in the present and wants to spend their time enjoying it. Aquarius lives for the future. Leo will probably be annoyed by Aquarius' ability to place family after their causes.
If they can learn from each other, Aquarius will be able to learn to appreciate closeness and intimacy while Leo can learn the value of free will. Their individual choices will challenge the other. It may be difficult for them to find a domestic routine. Leo Moon can get their feelings hurt when Aquarius treats them just like everyone else instead of the special being Leo knows they are. Aquarius can resent the authority that Leo exudes. This relationship will need a lot of work from both partners to find a happy balance.
Leo Moon and Pisces Moon need to take care. One may feel they are always bending over backwards to make the other one happy. This may end up being a very unbalanced relationship. Even though there is a strong attraction, it may be very difficult to deal with the everyday routine of a long term relationship.
Leo Moon and Pisces Moon do share some goals. They both find home and family very important. They just look at the world in very different ways. Leo Moon will run the show with their natural authority. This also fulfills their need to be the center of attention. Pisces Moon tends to be gentle and very receptive of other people's feelings. They will tend to overlook their own needs and desires to keep Leo happy. Leo Moon is warm, loud, boisterous and melodramatic. Pisces tends to feel victimized and full of melancholy. They may soak up some of Leo's confidence, however, which can be a good thing. They may both misunderstand the other because they tend to see things their way or how they want them to be. Leo is a bit narcissistic at times. In order to get what they want they may be loud or exaggerate.
In order for this relationship to truly be balanced, Pisces needs to step up and pursue their own dreams. Leo needs to understand that Pisces is not a doormat that should acquiesce to their every whim. Pisces tends to reflect the feelings around them, so this can be good when Leo is in a great mood. It can be very bad when Leo is feeling down, as Pisces is normally on the down side anyway.

Unsung Irish hero Duff deserves great credit after retirement
Lee Gormley | 22.12.2015
CORAL ENHANCED ACCAS
Lee Gormley | December 22, 2015
Duff announces retirement at 36
Following a prestigious 20-year playing career at both club and international level, former Republic of Ireland and Chelsea winger Damien Duff announced his retirement this week, calling time after much personal and silverware success.
The 36-year-old broke through the youth system at Blackburn Rovers before setting off for ventures with Chelsea, Newcastle United and then Fulham, lifting two Premier League trophies, an FA Cup and League Cup with Jose Mourinho's Blues.
As well as having a huge impact at Stamford Bridge, Duff also helped fellow Londoners Fulham to the 2010 Europa League final, and was key to his nation's squad for 14 years, in which he earned 100 deserved caps.
Martin O'Neill's Boys in Green gallantly reached next summer's Euro 2016, where they are 15/2 with Coral to emerge from a tough Group E, but Dubliner Duff was part of the last travelling Irish side to reach the competition in 2012.
Irish stalwart says farewell
He proudly captained Giovanni Trapattoni's men that summer, incredibly a decade after leading Ireland out at the 2002 World Cup, before returning home in July last year to join home county club Shamrock Rovers.
The Ballyboden-born cult hero first enjoyed a brief stint in the A-League with Melbourne City before his League of Ireland arrival, but has now hung up his boots for good, leaving us with many fond memories from his entertaining and admirable career.
"After much deliberation, I have today decided to bring my professional football career to an end," Duff said in a statement.
"I know I am a very lucky man.."
"My heart wants me to continue playing but my body has finally won the battle and told me to stop. I've lived every young boy's dream and I know I am a very lucky man.
"I would like to thank everyone who has helped me along the journey from schoolboy football in Dublin and moving to England as a teenager right up to today.
"I am extremely proud to have won 100 caps for my country – it was always my greatest pleasure to represent Ireland and I have many magical memories from my international career."
Mourinho fond of class-act Duff
Despite having lifted England's top-flight crown on two occasions, as well as its most coveted cup, Duff may not receive the wider appreciation he deserves for his illustrious playing time, but is still regarded very highly by Irish and many of his previous club's faithful followings.
It wasn't just the fans that Duff won over with his eccentric play from the wide positions in the Premier League and for Ireland, with his former Blues boss Mourinho holding him in high regards too for his commitment and overall talents.
"I remember that he was one of the guys that left Cobham crying and left the people here crying," Mourinho previously stated.
"He didn't want to go but he wants to play every game and he wants to enjoy his football and Chelsea at that time was Duff, [Arjen] Robben, Joe Cole. We had so much. The offer from Newcastle came. He wanted to accept but he didn't want to."
Duff breed of a dying kind
In an age when out-and-out modern wingers are slowly dying from the game, Duff was the true definition of such a player, gracing the flanks and terrifying top class full backs with his pace and directness.
"It was one of the guys that left Cobham crying and left people crying here. He had a big influence in our style of play," Mourinho added.
"I don't remember more times for that to play with two left footed players, both together on the wings, changing a lot during the game, creating different kind of problems.
"They were similar but different. They were fantastic players and he's a player that we have good memories [of]."
Duff was handed his Chelsea debut back in 2003 by current Leicester City boss Claudio Ranieri (10/1 to win PL title), before Mourinho took charge of a dominant side which the Irishman was an integral part of. But over a decade on from that maiden Blues outing and, after a 20-year career at the top, this unsung Irish hero hangs his boots up for ventures new, with plenty of fond memories to look back on.

The N14(p,γ)O15 reaction is the slowest reaction of the carbon-nitrogen cycle of hydrogen burning and thus determines its rate. The precise knowledge of its rate is required to correctly model hydrogen burning in asymptotic giant branch stars. In addition, it is a necessary ingredient for a possible solution of the solar abundance problem by using the solar N13 and O15 neutrino fluxes as probes of the carbon and nitrogen abundances in the solar core. After the downward revision of its cross section due to a much lower contribution by one particular transition, capture to the ground state in O15, the evaluated total uncertainty is still 8%, in part due to an unsatisfactory knowledge of the excitation function over a wide energy range. The present work reports precise S factor data at twelve energies between 0.357 and 1.292 MeV for the strongest transition, capture to the 6.79-MeV excited state in O15, and at ten energies between 0.479 and 1.202 MeV for the second strongest transition, capture to the ground state in O15. An R-matrix fit is performed to estimate the impact of the new data on astrophysical energies. The recently suggested slight enhancement of the 6.79-MeV transition at low energy could not be confirmed. The present extrapolated zero-energy S factors are S6.79(0)=1.24±0.11 keV b and SGS(0)=0.19±0.05 keV b.

A LEAGUE OF CHAMPIONS

Jacob Hanshaw, Sports Writer
With the start of the Champion's League on Tuesday I figured a review of the scores and event would be a good idea. There were some big matches to start off the tournament like Barcelona vs Juventus and Roma vs Atlético Madrid.
The first match to take place was Chelsea vs Qarabag FK. Qarabag FK is kind of a nobody team, Chelsea easily won the game 6-0. The next game to take place was Olympiacos vs Sporting Lisbon, that match ended in a 3-2 victory for Sporting Lisbon. Barcelona and Juventus was one of the biggest matches of the first round and that game ended with a 3-0 Barcelona win with Messi scoring his first career goal against Gianluigi Buffon. Atlético Madrid traveled to Rome to take on Roma and that game ended in a 0-0 draw.
Celtic took on a Paris Saint Germain team in Glasgow with an overwhelming attack and unsurprisingly Paris Saint Germain put 5 goals past the Celtic goalkeeper, Craig Gordon, for Celtic's biggest European defeat ever, a 5-0 Paris Saint Germain win. German heavyweights Bayern München took on Anderlecht at home and came away with a 3-0 victory. Even though Bayern were helped by the sending off of Sven Kums, they still played extremely well and deserved the win. In Manchester, Manchester United took on Basel in the first round. Manchester came away with an expected 3-0 home win. One of the closer matches of the week was Benfica and CSKA Moskva. All of the goals came in the second half, and CSKA Moskva came from behind to take a 2-1 victory and the 3 points in Portugal.

Teens Stressed by Exams? 8 Tips to Help Them 'Chill Out'
Monday, October 21, 2019 8:17 am
By: Clare Bruce
As the pressure on school leavers to choose uni degrees and career paths ramps up, it's a good time for the advice of Pastor Charlotte Gambill: "chill out!"
Charlotte, a parent of two teens, and pastor of LIFE Church in the UK with her husband Steve, chatted to Laura Bennett during a recent visit to Australia. She spoke about the pressures that are being placed on her children, especially her daughter Hope, soon to turn 17.
"There's so much pressure around that age," she said. "There's pressure about the [subjects] they choose, there's pressure about what they do next after the exams, so actually my voice to her as a mum has been 'chill out'! I'm like, 'Everybody is pressuring you; you're 16 for crying out loud, so take some pressure off'."
Urgency Doesn't Lead to Good Decisions
When young people are surrounded with a sense of competition and urgency, it can pressure them into making decisions that aren't their own. By creating an environment of safety and calm, and encouraging them to take their time, parents can give their young people the space they need to make their own discoveries.
"They don't have to choose now, just because everyone is saying 'choose now'. There's space, and they can take their time."
"I think we have a generation that's stressed out making decisions at school and college and often they make a poor decision because they're under pressure," Charlotte said. "So one of the things I've tried to teach my daughter is… 'Just take some time to yourself, clear your head, get some space, pray about it, and then when you feel you're ready to, make a decision. Not when the teacher tells you or when people at the school are pressuring you because they've all made theirs'.
The same principle applies to decisions around relationships and faith, too, says Charlotte: "You have to give them room to get there on their own, otherwise you force them into something that later they'll turn around and say 'I never wanted to do this'."
8 Tips for Parents of Students Sitting Exams
In a Facebook post (below), Charlotte gave the following advice to parents of students sitting exams:
Pray for and with your teen: "Prayer with and over your kids works, and can change atmospheres."
Create a calm environment: "Calm is a gift we can give them – a tidy space to study, a candle-lit room, a favourite treat left in their school bag, food and tea deliveries to rooms are always a welcome gesture."
Send messages of encouragement: "Leave notes to tell them you are proud."
Show affection: "Hug them whenever they pass you by (whether they say they want one or not, they need one)."
Help them see the positive: "Make them smile and don't feed the worry monster."
Take the pressure off: "Don't pressure them to achieve a grade, just encourage them to do the best they can."
Be physically available: "Whether you have a crazy studious child or one who hates the thought of study, we can make a difference by being with them in their big moments (let's not make it seem small when to them it's huge)."
Be emotionally available: "Love big, cheer loud, bring the calm and be present."

Holywood mum calls on dog owners to scoop their poop after baby falls in mess
"Just think about your actions and the possibility that you could make a child sick"

A Co Down mum has called on dog owners to clean up after their pets after her baby was left covered in dog poo on the beach.
Katie Oparka's little boy Oliver fell over in the sand at Seapark in Holywood at the weekend.
After he walked towards her for help, she said she could smell the poo on his hand and clothes.
"I live in Holywood so pretty much every weekend I would be down on the beach," Katie told Belfast Live.
"I've got two kids. One's three and one is one and a half."
On Saturday, Katie said she took them to Seapark "for their usual play" when the incident happened.

"They were just playing on the beach, digging and collecting shells and stuff," she explained.
"The little one fell over and I noticed him toddling back towards and I thought he was completely covered in sand.
"He didn't realise what it was so he wouldn't have known to be careful.
"I looked at it more closely and realised it didn't look like sand. I hoped it was mud and then smelled it and knew that's dog poo all over him.
"It was all over his hand and up his sleeve as well.
"I washed it off in the sea and a friend that I was with had some baby wipes. We sort of cleaned him up but it's not really clean so I had to try and keep his hand away from his face the whole way home.
"Trying to convince a baby to do that is not particularly easy, until you get him home and get him washed up.

"I caught him early enough so that he didn't get it anywhere near his face but if he had of, it could have been worse."
Katie said she feels the amount of dog mess along the seafront has been getting worse.
"We are there pretty much once a week," she added.
"There are not many weeks that go by [that] every time you are dodging the poo when you are walking and not many times go by when you are pushing the pram wheels through poo. It does seem to have been getting worse."
To those who don't clean up after their dogs, Katie has urged them to "think about what happens to it when you walk away".
"Just think about your actions and the possibility that you could make a child sick or an adult as well, potentially," she added.
"It stays there and it's ruining the local parks and the local places for everybody else that uses them - including other dog walkers.
"That space is really nice and lot's of people are using it but it's kind of compromising the park for everyone."
After sharing details of the incident online, Katie said the responses her post got seem to show "there's a huge amount of people that are bothered by it at the moment".
She said this includes "dog owners who are responsible because it makes everybody who has a dog look bad" when "it's probably a few people".
"If we can try and improve the spaces, it's better for everybody."

Council issues statement following long queues at Abbey Centre's Primark store
An Ards and North Down Council spokesperson said: "We are very sorry to hear of the incident involving the baby. We had not been made aware of this particular incident and would encourage everyone to report dog fouling. By contacting the Council and providing as much detail as possible, we can better target our patrols to impact such behaviour.
"Our patrols work all-year round, including public holidays and weekends. This year, we have issued more than 850 fixed penalty notices and just last month, we had 50 successful court convictions for various environmental offences. During the last 10 days, we had nine patrols and issued three fixed penalty notices in Seapark.
"The Council remains determined to make our Borough a better place by bringing those people who flout the law to justice."

This Easton, CT family was experiencing colder than usual temperatures in their home, and quickly found most of their troubles were coming from their garage. It's essential to insulate the garage ceiling if there is living space above the garage. Without it, the rooms above can become extremely uncomfortable, especially during New England winters. They gave us a call at Dr. Energy Saver of Connecticut, and we were happy to come and help them find a solution!
Dan Kiley and his team came out, and quickly installed a spray foam over the garage ceiling. They used a closed cell spray foam, which cures as a dense, hard material that seals off the space from both moisture and air. It has a great resistance to air and water vapor, while blocking and absorbing sound. Once it cures, their home will be much warmer in the winter, and much cooler in the summer! We left this family knowing they would be much more comfortable in their home!

This Easton basement was poorly insulated which caused for an uncomfortable home. Air leakage was a big concern for this homeowner and she wanted to find a solution. She did her research and decided to call Dr. Energy Saver of Connecticut and set an appointment to help her find a solution.
On the day of the appointment, Jeremy Bosssio arrived at the home to inspect the situation. He concluded that the reasons for her uncomfortable home were due to lack of insulation and cracks and openings that were present in the basement. He suggested that in order to solve her concerns, insulation and CleanSpace encapsulation would be needed. Jeremey reviewed each product with the homeowner and set up a day for installation.
On the day of installation, Foreman Rudy Abel and his team arrived at the home and went straight to work. They first removed the little insulation that was in the basement to have a clean, fresh start. Next, they air sealed the entire basement to prevent any cracks or holes for air to leak through. CleanSpace encapsulation was the next product to be installed. The CleanSpace liner is installed over the entire basement to prevent any moisture from entering. Lastly, SilverGlo was installed to the walls of the basement to properly insulate the area. This insulation will also act as a radiant barrier and is also durable and waterproof!
This is exactly what the homeowner wanted and was very pleased with her transformed basement. She is happy with her comfortable home.

The Albrecht family is a North German family whose members have been prominent as civil servants, politicians and businesspeople.
The family is descended from Barthold Albrecht (born 1557), who was a pastor in Bodenwerder. Numerous of his descendants were doctors, jurists and civil servants in what became the Electorate and Kingdom of Hanover. The family was among the hübsche ("courtly" or "genteel") families of Hanover, the informal third elite group after the nobility and the clergy that encompassed the higher bourgeoisie and university-educated civil servants.

The lawyer Karl Franz Georg Albrecht (1799–1873) became director-general of direct taxation in the Kingdom of Hanover in 1847, and then director-general of customs from 1854 and member of the State Council of Hanover from 1856. He was the father of George Alexander Albrecht (1834–1898), who became a wealthy cotton merchant in the city state of Bremen, where he became part of the Hanseatic elite and was appointed as the Austro-Hungarian Consul in 1895. He married Baroness Louise Dorothea Betty von Knoop (1844–1889), the daughter of the major cotton industrialist, Baron Ludwig Johann von Knoop, who had been ennobled in the Russian Empire. They were the parents of the cotton merchant Carl Albrecht (1875–1952), who married Mary Ladson Robertson (1883–1960), who belonged to a prominent American family of the Southern aristocracy from Charleston, South Carolina; she was a descendant of James Ladson and several colonial governors of Carolina. Carl and Mary Albrecht were the parents of the medical doctor and psychologist Carl Albrecht (1902–1965). The latter was the father of the conductor George Alexander Albrecht and the European civil servant and later Prime Minister of Lower Saxony Ernst Albrecht. The conductor George Alexander Albrecht was the father of the chief conductor of the Dutch National Opera Marc Albrecht while Ernst Albrecht was the father of the President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen (née Albrecht) and of the businessman Hans-Holger Albrecht.

The family is included in the Deutsches Geschlechterbuch which covers prominent families in Germany.

The family's coat of arms features in red a golden lion that breaks a silver chain.
