1. MEETING, this Sunday, February 10 in Charlottesville at 1:15 PM – 4 PM, "Dowsing on Goals – Big and Small" with Roxanne Louise".
Whether you are making New Year's Resolutions, goals for the day, month, year or lifetime, dowsing can really help! Determine priorities. Assess your unconscious acceptance or resistance to your plans. Resolve internal blocks.
Meetings are free and open to all but we ask you to advise us that you are coming in case of weather or other cancellation. We meet on the second Sunday of the month, January-June, but NO meetings in July, August or December.
Coming Up: Tuesday, 2/12: "Goal Setting and Aligning with Your Higher Purpose" with Mark Hurwich and Roxanne Louise.
Dowsing is extremely helpful in setting all sorts of goals – from the daily 'to do' lists, determining priorities, to lining up the weekly, monthly, yearly, New Year's Resolutions, and your overall path in life. It can assess your acceptance or resistance to realizing these goals, and it can resolve self sabotage, doubt, and self-esteem issues related to them.
Big goals require big energy and invariably confront big challenges. To muster that energy and get through those difficulties, it is important to have a good reason to do so. This is why Mark and I also look at finding your core intention – your why.
At last year's ASD Convention, Mark Hurwich addressed this in a talk "Supercharge Your Why: Dowsing for Core Intention. " This is available for sale through the ASD Bookstore. See here.
Mark uses body dowsing and Core Intention in a niched business coaching healers, entrepreneurs and others who are "stuck." He has over 34 years of coaching and consulting experiences in strategy and strategy implementation at multinational firms. Mark lives with his wife, dowser Gale West, in Evanston, Illinois. His website is concentratedcoaching.net.
As a hypnotherapist, as well as a dowser, stress management expert, and Reiki Master, Roxanne Louise works with finding and clearing the root cause of mental and emotional issues including the mind-body aspect of various physical issues, and then teaches multiple self-help tools to empower her clients including teaching goal setting and manifestation. She is the author of several books, a presenter at multiple national conferences yearly, a Trustee for ASD, and is the founder and organizer for Central Virginia Dowsers. She has received 6 national awards in hypnosis including two Lifetime Achievement Awards, and was named "Educator of the Year" from ASD this past summer. Her website is www.RoxanneLouise.com, blog: UnlimitedPotentialHealingCenter.com, and Facebook page: Central Virginia Dowsers. Her email is roxannelouise2@gmail.com, and phone is 434-263-4337.
Mark Your Calendar: 3/12, 4/9, 5/14, 6/11, 7/9, 8/13, 9/10, 10/8, 11/12, 12/10.

Robert W. Alcorn, MD, is a psychiatrist and a member of the American Society of Dowsers. He uses dowsing in the Soul Detective aspect of his practice. In his many years of psychiatric work, he has come to recognize that many of the psychiatric symptoms his patient endure are the result of intrusion by spiritual beings into the energies of the patient. He is particularly interested in this phenomenon as it appears in intuitive people, such as psychics, medical intuitives, and, of course, dowsers. He believes that people who are intuitive, who have High Sense Perception, are often very reluctant to seek help in the psychiatric world because they (rightly) fear their subtle perceptions will be treated as symptomatic of significant psychiatric pathology. He believes that it is normal for human beings to perceive invisible beings of all kinds, but that skill is trained out of us at a very early age.
He will discuss the range of spirit beings who can cause trouble for us, how to recognize that this is what has happened to oneself, and how to release these beings in a harmonious and compassionate way, even the nasty ones!
Dr. Alcorn is in practice in Ohio. He has incorporated shamanic methods and energetic healing in his approach to patients' suffering. He is the author of Healing Stories: My Journey from Mainstream Psychiatry toward Spiritual Healing. His website is www.dralcorn.us.

A value sensitive design investigation of privacy enhancing tools in web browsers
Heng Xu, Robert E. Crossler, France Bélanger

College of Information Sciences and Technology
Privacy concern has been identified as a major factor hindering the growth of e-business. Recently, various privacy-enhancing tools (PETs) have been proposed to protect the online privacy of Internet users. However, most of these PETs have been designed using an ad hoc approach rather than a systematic design. In this paper, we present an exploratory investigation of an end-use PET using a Value Sensitive Design approach. We propose an integrated design of a Privacy Enhancing Support System (PESS) with three proposed tools, namely privacy-enhancing search feature (PESearch), privacy-enhancing control for personal data (PEControl), and privacy-enhancing review for sharing the ratings and reviews of websites' privacy practices (PEReview). This system could enhance the interactivity of Internet users' privacy experiences, increase users' control perceptions over their personal information, and reduce their privacy concerns. An empirical evaluation of PESearch, PEControl, and PEReview revealed that novices felt the most important aspect of the tools for downloading and usage intentions was its usefulness; most experts felt the tool met the design principles as specified.

Uranium Is Finally Taking Off In 2017
By Byron King | April 13, 2017 |
The uranium sector is beaten down. It crashed hard six years ago, right after the nuclear disaster at Fukushima, Japan, in March 2011. After Fukushima, uranium miners, processors and nuclear equipment makers sold down and have pretty much stayed down.
However, the uranium industry has just begun to turn around. You may have even heard about it in the news lately. The takeaway, however, is that we currently have an open window to get into the uranium space near the bottom.
Uranium is critical to running the world. In many countries, it literally keeps the lights on. There's an entire investment space devoted to uranium production and associated companies that process "yellowcake" — uranium oxide — to move it through the industrial cycle. Uranium is the foundation to a multibillion-dollar global industry with immense investment promise.
During its last two boom cycles, in 2004–07 and 2009–2011, early investors could have seen gains around 600% and 185%, respectively.
There are three big reasons that uranium is set to turn around. The first is an increase in demand for nuclear power.
500 More Nuclear Plants
Although uranium hasn't been in the investment limelight lately, nuclear power is significant. According to the World Nuclear Association (WNA), 440 nuclear power reactors operate today in 31 countries, with a combined capacity of over 385 gigawatts of electric capacity (GWe).
In 2014, these units provided 2,411 billion kilowatt hours (kWh), or over 11% of the world's total electricity. As recently as 2015, says the Nuclear Energy Institute, "13 countries relied on nuclear energy to supply at least one-quarter of their total electricity".
This represents just the existing demand for nuclear power; it's the day-to-day "load" on the global grid. However, I recently met with key players in the energy space, including Spencer Abraham, former U.S. senator (R-Michigan, 1995–2001) and secretary of energy (2001–05). At a dinner, I sat next to Secretary Abraham for about two hours, discussing politics, energy policy and uranium.

I also had a long discussion with an individual whose professional career has been involved working with major uranium mining companies and nuclear-based electricity generators.
Later in his career, this individual advised both the U.S. and Russian governments on uranium, up to and including respective national policy that affected weapons-grade material. He's highly knowledgeable about uranium production and pricing from sources as far afield as Kazakhstan, Australia, Canada, the U.S. and nations in Africa.
After meeting with these energy insiders, it is clear that nuclear power is increasingly coming back into demand as a global source of energy. Across the world, many nuclear plants are under construction, in design or being planned at early stages.
Most new-build reactors are sited in Asia, particularly China, South Korea and India, all with fast-growing economies and rapidly rising electricity demand.
Dovetailing the Asian buildout, many countries with existing nuclear power programs (Argentina, Armenia, Brazil, Bulgaria, China, the Czech Republic, India, Pakistan, Romania, Russia, Slovakia, South Korea, South Africa, the UAE, Ukraine, the U.K., the U.S.) plan to construct new nuclear reactors over and above beyond those now under construction.
In all, according to WNA, over 160 reactors are planned with a total net capacity of some 182 GWe; over 300 more are proposed. The primary reasons for this increasing demand are energy security concerns, uncertainty about future access to carbon-based fuel and overall greenhouse gas constraints on carbon burning -- combined with basic economics. This has "put nuclear power back on the agenda for projected new capacity in many countries."
Kazakhstan Tightens Supply
As more nuclear plants are built, the plant operators must lock in the source of their uranium for decades to come. The plants themselves may take 10–20 years to plan, design and construct, and then they have a service life of 50–75 years or more. It's a multigenerational commitment.
All existing nuclear plants, and the utility companies that own and operate them, already have firm contracts in place to lock up future supplies of uranium fuel. These decades-long contracts are with big-name uranium producers.
On occasion, however, utility companies may require additional supplies of uranium fuel, maybe for technical reasons. In that situation, they'll buy uranium on the "spot" market.
During the past six years, many Japanese utilities didn't need uranium they had coming in under long-term contracts, because they had shut down all their nuclear plants after Fukushima. Some of this unneeded uranium found its way back onto the spot market due to resale by Japanese middlemen.
As with any commodity, a glut in supply drove down prices. This contributed to a depressed uranium space, which helped drag down share prices of many primary uranium producers.
In addition, the world's single largest national uranium producer is the nation of Kazakhstan. It inherited a massive nuclear complex after the Soviet Union collapsed.
For several years, Kazakh miners went all out with mining and processing, and the country's overseeing agency, Kazatomprom, sold the material. This contributed to the global glut of yellowcake and processed uranium — and led to historically low prices for uranium and miners.
But this past January, the Kazakh government made a critical decision. Rather than continue mining the country's uranium to sell at a depressed price, the Kazakh government ordered Kazatomprom to scale back on output by 10%. This reduces the quantity of uranium available for export sale and tightens global supply.
"Kazakhstan controls about 40% of the overall global market for uranium," writes Michael Ambrozewicz at Seeking Alpha, "so the 10% cut amounts to approximately a 3% reduction in global uranium supply."
News of the Kazakh government's new, restrictive uranium export policy hit global markets like a bombshell. Within hours, uranium spot prices began to creep up, while share prices of many listed uranium companies began to rise.
After seeing this recent growth, you might be wondering if it's too late to get into the uranium market… But there's another signal we're seeing that tells us now is the perfect time to get in the game.
Uranium -- Follow the Institutional Money
At one point in time, the U.S. was nearly self-sufficient in uranium. But today — after many years of U.S. environmental regulation and general anti-industry and anti-nuclear sentiment — the U.S. imports over 90% of the uranium it uses in its nuclear plants.
President Trump is focused on reducing the U.S. trade deficit and creating jobs. Uranium imports involve billions of dollars in trade flows and tens of thousands of potential jobs in the uranium industry.
Maria Korsnick, president and chief executive officer of the Nuclear Energy Institute, said in a recent interview that (as Bloomberg put it) "Trump will throw more support behind nuclear power than the Obama administration, which gave a higher priority to wind and solar power."
In addition to increasing global demand and tightening global supply, President Trump will likely move the U.S. toward a more national-oriented uranium supply policy, which will benefit any well-run U.S. producer.
Investment professionals see this already. Trading volumes have increased as institutional money moves into the uranium space. Luckily for us, retail investors have not quite caught the bug yet.
The Safest Way to Play Uranium
Uranium has been beaten down for so long that many investors are skeptical of today's rising prices. But we're just at the beginning of a tightening in uranium supply. (Kazakh officials have already signaled that they like getting paid more for producing less.)
We expect prices to rise as more and more nuclear power plants are built and contracts for future uranium supplies are locked in. That's why you need to invest now, before most retail investors catch up.

Editorial: Trent's Board of Governors has been supportive of the fossil fuel divestment campaign
February 2, 2015 Pat Reddick Editorial
I don't like speculating in my editorials, but this week I just can't resist the urge.
I wholeheartedly believe that Trent's Board of Governors intends to divest from fossil fuels if it can find a way to do so.
It may not be number one on the priority list, and it may not happen at the rate student leaders would like to see it happen at, but I don't doubt for a second that it's something the Board is seriously considering and would like to find a way to do.
Last week's divestment rally saw protesters enter the Board meeting, welcomed with open arms by the Board. Literally. They were waved in by chair Bryan Davies.
The Board doesn't shy away from discussion, even when it's a lost cause. Last year then-Vice President Campaigns and Equity Braden Freer approached the Board about a tuition freeze. They welcomed him to the meeting, listened to his presentation, and told him "sorry, can't do it, here's why."
After the Board welcomed Sustainable Trent members Julian Tennent-Riddell and Calvin Beauchesne just over a year ago to argue that Trent should divest from fossil fuels, they never told them no.
In fact, both Robin Dines and then-Chair Anne Wright both told them "I'll give it serious consideration."
The Board is the highest governing body at Trent. They don't shy away from saying a flat-out, very clear "no" when that's the answer they have to give. They have no reason to do so.
It's been a year since Sustainable Trent's presentation and they still haven't said it.
It's a fact that the Board has been openly sympathetic to the campaign. A press release following their June 2014 meeting confirmed that the Board had "begun a serious examination of the issue."
The same release stated that members of the board "have participated in the Responsible Investing Association Conference (Toronto, May 26-28, 2014) and the Ontario Universities Pension Symposium (Waterloo, May 6, 2014) to gain insights on the issues and engage with specialists in the field."
At the January 31, 2014 presentation, Governor Andrew Stewart inquired about whether or not there were other institutions the board could model their divestment approach off of.
That's not the type of question a Board member would ask if the general view was unsupportive.
At the rally last Friday, the Board echoed their previous sentiment that it was something they are seriously considering.
Their lack of a definitive response is largely due to the complexity of the university's financial portfolio. Managing something like that is no easy task. I may discuss it in simple terms, but divestment isn't as easy as merely flipping a switch. After all, that's why there's a whole Board looking after these sorts of duties.
I would say the most compelling arguments before the Board are the fourth and fifth of Sustainable Trent's five-point presentation: that divestment is aligned with Trent's core values and that it would further the school's reputation as an environmentally progressive place.
At that 2014 Board meeting, Julian Tennent-Riddell quoted the very mission statement the Board approved in 2010: Trent's mission is to "foster sustainability, in its environmental, social and economic dimensions, on our campuses and in all aspects of our work."
"It would be a bold move to take, but it would add to that image that we're known for," said Beauchesne regarding Trent's reputation.
As important as the other three are from an ethical standpoint, it's really these last two that hit home from the perspective of a governing board.
According to the Board's bylaws, specifically section 6 – Standard of Care, each Governor is required to "act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the University." This is standard practice on any Board of any corporation. It doesn't matter what your personal views are; you're here to do what's best for Trent.
Following our mission statement and making decisions that further an established, acknowledged, and accepted reputation are well within that purview.
It's still the case that if Trent divests from fossil fuels we would be the first university in the country to do so.
It's very much the case that Sustainable Trent wants that. I want that, and, according to a 2013 referendum, the majority of Trent students want that.
Don't let a lengthy decision-making process fool you: there is no doubt in my mind that Trent's highest governing body stands with us in wanting it too.

Recently, I went on a little family trip to Virginia. It was a quick trip, but we got to do some really fun things! This post is a bit different from the things I usually post on my blog, but I wanted to share some of the lovely photos I was able to capture on our adventure to the American Horticultural Center. We saw so many beautiful flowers (which are one of my favorite things to photograph by the way!), and this gorgeous butterfly that I may have gotten slightly carried away with taking photos of. I was shocked that this beautiful creature allowed me to get so close to take it's picture. It was almost like he/she was posing!
Thank you for reading loves!
Your photography skills are amazing! Great post, girl!
these photos are so pretty! looks like such a beautiful place to explore!
love the photos, looks like such a lovely place!
What a wonderful post, so much inspiration!
Family trips are so fun. Stunning pictures!


I'm so excited about the new Autumn/Winter Mini Catalogue because it is jam packed with new innovative products!
As a Demonstrator I was able to pre-order from my very long wish list on the 2nd of March! Whoooo Hoooo! Being able to order some new goodies to play with before the release date is just one of the many benefits of being a part of the SU 'Family'.
If you would like your own copy of the new mini, please let me know, so I can pop one in the post to you (bronaddinktivedesigns@gmail.com).
The Big Shot die-cut machine cuts through multiple layers and materials to create beautiful die cuts for all kinds of projects. SU has also introduced a line of Stampin' Up! exclusive dies. The Big Shot machine and dies will enhance the current Stampin' Up! offering by giving you more choices for your art work.
Stampin' Up! will now offer our exclusive stamp art in both traditional wood-mount, and the new clear-mount option. Their new clear-mount rubber stamps are the result of extensive research with the intent to maintain the very best image quality in the stamping industry, while at the same time offering the ease-of-use and storability inherent in repositionable clear-mount rubber stamps.
Starting with the Autumn-Winter Mini and continuing with all new punch designs going forward, Stampin' Up! has adopted a new body style for their punches! With a larger cutting surface and a sleeker body, the new punches give you greater cutting precision, better punching leverage, and space-saving storage.
Do you get extra early previews of things? I thought it was just about Summer Mini Catalog time. I haven't seen this one yet!

AMFF Partnering with Wonders of Wildlife
VISIT & DISCOVER
Helen Shaw Collection
Arnold Gingrich (1903–1976), founding editor of Esquire magazine, proclaimed Helen Shaw to be the "First Lady of Fly Tying."
Helen Elizabeth Shaw (1910–2007) was born in Madison, Wisconsin, and moved with her family to several Midwestern locations and states. The Shaw family returned to Wisconsin, settling in the city of Sheboygan along the shores of Lake Michigan. Shaw began to fish with her father at a very young age and started to tie flies as a youngster, learning from other tiers who were eager to help. Fly fishing was a passion for her entire life.
While still in high school, Shaw began to tie flies for a local tackle shop owned by Arthur Kade (1890/91–1952), Art Kade Flycraft. After graduating, she worked at Kade's shop full time, tying flies and training other tiers, and eventually opened her own store in Sheboygan. Her reputation as a talented fly tier went well beyond the shores of Lake Michigan, and many of her clients were well-known personalities.
After a chance meeting in Milwaukee with Hermann Kessler (1904–1993), art director for Field & Stream magazine, Shaw married Kessler and moved to New York City in 1953. The move east was fulfilling for Shaw as she became very much a part of the angling crowd in New York. Many of her earlier clients made the move with Shaw, and she soon acquired new clients through exposure in the city, especially through the Anglers' Club of New York.
In 1963, Shaw's groundbreaking book Fly-Tying: Materials, Tools, and Techniques was published, illustrated with Kessler's photography. It included black-and-white images of Shaw tying flies step by step and was one of the first fly-tying books written by a woman. A unique aspect of the book was its photography: images were taken from the tier's vantage point, making it easier for the reader to see and understand the tying process. It was a great success, and the book was in continuous print for more than twenty years. Shaw and Kessler worked together again to photograph and publish Flies for Fish and Fisherman: Wet Flies (1989).
Besides her publishing accomplishments, Shaw was the Federation of Fly Fishers 2002 Buszek Award winner and the first woman to be hosted at the (all-male) Anglers' Club of New York luncheon. The Trout Unlimited chapter in Sheboygan is named after Helen Shaw; her Wisconsin home river, the Onion River, was restored to its former condition when conservation funds were raised in her name; and at one time, she was the only female member of "The Grand O'Dawn Club," a men's casting club in Chicago.
Helen Shaw passed away in Red Rock, New York, where she had lived since 1979. At the time of Hermann Kessler's death in 1993, the couple was working on a third collaborative book about fly tying. Sadly, that book was never published.

There are few markets that scream "AV" more than sports bars, where proprietors lure in customers based on the quality of their sports viewing and listening experience.
These days sports bars — much like sports venues — need to compete with the affordable large displays in most customers' homes as well as the phones in their pockets.
To figure out how an integration firm can keep its sports bar customers drawing them in, we turned to Union City, N.J.-based Serious Audio Video, a CI Industry Leader in the Restaurant & Bars market. President Casey Johnston offers some surprising insight.
Did your firm end up doing so much restaurant and bar work because the market plays to Serious' strengths?
Yes, definitely. Our strengths are system design and reliable system engineering. Restaurant and bar owners want systems that blend into their spaces and they want the system to work without heavy service or support.
At Serious Audio Video we take a look at the space as designed by the architect and interior designer and we look to complement their designs.
What was the thing you designed that was so impressive?
It was a user interface using a collage of different products, which has become kind of our secret sauce. When the owners saw it and saw that it works, they wanted to use it for all of their existing and future locations. It does a lot to standard-ize the customer experience inside the space.
It offers an intuitive user experience to experts and novices alike; executes time-saving tasks for employees and it regulates the atmosphere by ensuring the climate, lighting and AV are all as the owner wants, all automatically.

Tory Lanez Drops New Single 'Temperature Rising'
Can't stop, won't stop.
Only a month after releasing his album New Toronto 3, Tory Lanez unleashes his new single "Temperature Rising," his first release since parting ways with Interscope and going independent.
On the sensual baby-making jam, the Toronto crooner turns up the heat and takes it to the bedroom. "Got my attention, undivided / I wanna love ya / Tonight, it's a love-making affair," he sings.
Tory is now readying three new projects including an '80s-inspired album, an acoustic effort, and a Spanish album. "I told you I wasn't gonna release none of my greatest music or none of my most timeless music until I was out the deal and I owned all my masters," he told fans. "So now that I'm out, I own all my masters, I own all my publishing and everything, I got these three projects that I wanna release."
Additionally, he can be heard on new albums from JoJo ("Comeback") and Kehlani ("Can I"), as well as Lil Wayne's forthcoming Funeral deluxe edition.

The central bureau for judiciary investigations (BCJI), under the general directorate for territory surveillance (DGST), arrested, Thursday, three ISIS' supporters operating in Laayoune, Salé and Marrakech, said a statement issued by the Interior ministry.
Investigations revealed that the suspects, aged between 24 and 30, have pledged allegiance to ISIS' caliph. They are involved in inciting murder pursuant to the bloody approach of this terrorist organization, in addition to their intention to acquire expertise in the field of manufacturing explosive devices, said the statement.
The first elements of the investigations also found out that one of these individuals, which had joined in the past the Tindouf camps, was plotting terrorist acts inside the Kingdom in accordance with ISIS' agenda, added the ministry.
A search operation allowed the seizure of a set of electronic equipment, an «identity card» issued to one of the suspects by the separatist movement, a military uniform of belonging to the Polisario and a flag.
The suspects will be brought to justice upon the completion of the investigation, led under the supervision of the competent public prosecutor's office, concluded the same source.
