My cousin Kendrick died Tuesday morning.
I feel this intensely strong need to write about Kendrick now while this is still very, very fresh and raw. While all I have in my mind are my own personal thoughts and feelings. I want to remember how I felt and what I remembered of him all on my own without the filter of family grieving.
I want to make it clear that the following is my personal experience and impressions about his life and death all from my admittedly peripheral point of view. His Mom, Dad, brother, sister and everyone else who knew and loved him might see things very differently.
I was unwinding with my husband after a particularly challenging day of young motherhood when I found out. We were about ready to head up to bed. My husband unplugged my phone from the charger to plug his in and saw the text before I did.
I heard, "Oh my God" and a long pause. I could tell he was hesitating to say anything to me. "What? What? Babe, what is it? What!" I started asking frantically.
I knew it was bad. I knew someone had died. I could just tell. This is the third time in just over a month that this exact thing has happened. Three deaths (My great Aunt Leah just died last week, and then Eric last month. My family has suffered some tremendous loss these last few weeks.) and my husband keeps getting the news first just by circumstance and ends up being the one to tell me.
Although I was expecting him to tell me someone died I was not expecting this.
"Your cousin Kendrick killed himself this morning."
I immediately felt that deep ache. It was all the pain I have been feeling for him these last few years and then some all at once. "Oh my God. Oh my God! Oh my God!!! Kendrick? Kendrick!". I started sobbing and then shaking uncontrollably.
I cried because he is gone, but I mostly cried because he had been living in that much pain. He was suffering that badly. He felt so completely lost in this world that he saw no other way. God, I love him so much. To know he was suffering that deeply hurts me intensely.
Dear Kendrick. Dear, sweet Kendrick. Dear, sweet, brilliant Kendrick. Dear, sweet, brilliant, utterly lost Kendrick.
He was my kid cousin. He was sweet and bright and happy. He had a sweet, respectful and positive attitude. He brought something special to our family gatherings. He always had something interesting and thoughtful to say. When he played he would be fairly absorbed with his Legos and toys of that sort. He was sweet but also focused and methodical even in his play.
From there he never quite made the transition into a healthy balanced adulthood.
He went to Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University on a scholarship for his first year. Or maybe it was two, I'm not exactly sure. He was unsure what direction he wanted to take his education in. His scholarship ran out or he lost it. He transferred to a state school, or he was going to, I'm not exactly sure on the details.
That is when he started to really struggle. I am sure he felt some level of internal struggle long before that but that is when it became apparent to me. That is when it became self-destructive. He dropped out, took a job as a server, moved in with some buddies and slowly became lost to me. To all of us.
He was so damn smart.
It is probably the most prominent trait I can assign to him. I feel a little guilty saying that because I am pretty sure that somehow that brought him pain.
I'm not sure if it was because it was too much pressure. Or because he didn't think he was truly as brilliant as we all thought he was. Or because when he got out there he found he was not as brilliant as he had always believed. Or something else entirely.
I just have the impression that he didn't feel that label fit him. That he resented it in some way. I'm sure there was more to his internal torment than that, but I just kind of have the feeling that that was a big part of it. At least in the beginning. When he first started using.
The last time I remember seeing him was at a family reunion camping trip. It was after he dropped out of school. He was waiting tables at California Pizza Kitchen at the time I am pretty sure.
He, my sister and I stayed up late to hang out and drink by the camp fire. One or two of our other cousins were up with us too but I couldn't tell you who. This particular special memory of mine is of hanging out with Kendrick. It is not only special to me now because he is gone, but it was special to me at the time.
It was just us 'kids'. Our parents had all gone to bed in their tents but we stayed up watching the fire burn down and adding more logs and watching it burn down again a few times. We must have stayed up past midnight and into the early morning.
He asked for advise about some girl that was into him at work but he wasn't interested in. He seemed to really appreciate the input my sister and I gave him. We talked about a tattoo I was thinking about getting. He gave me some ideas of what he thought might look cool.
We just hung out, drinking and watching the fire and enjoying each others company. I went home from that trip so glad that I had the opportunity to hang out with him like that, all grown up, relaxed, in what felt like a completely genuine way.
I'm sure I saw him at a family event or two after that but it was never the same. He never met my children. For all I know he was so lost he didn't even know I had children. I'm not sure.
I was so hopeful that eventually, one day, he would find himself. He would become centered. He would make a happy life for himself.
That we would have another chance to hang out by a campfire and get to know each other better as the adults we had become in the lives we had created for ourselves.
If feels so wrong that that will never be the case.
I don't want to romanticize our relationship. It's not as if we were best friends or ever would have been more than likely. But we were family. And I loved him.
I don't know if he knew how much I love him. How much I have been hurting for him these last few years. How much I have truly missed him. Not who he thought he should have been or could have been.
Just beer by the campfire him. I just wanted to have him around. I wanted him to be at least a small part of my adult life.
I didn't know how to reach him. I didn't know how to tell him.
I said it before but I will say it again here. I believe that this life is it. This is the main event. God created us in his likeness for this world and for this life. I believe that the loss of every single human life, no matter how old or diseased or troubled that life might be, is a little less of God's presence here on earth and a very real loss for humanity at large.
I know with everything there is in me that there was a place, designated by our creator, for Kendrick here in this world. I don't know exactly what that place was but there was a place for him.
The life he was living or thought he was supposed to live or thought he wanted to live, that wasn't it.
He never found it. Or maybe he was resisting it and never felt at ease in it. His place in this world was never fully occupied and now it never will be. That is honestly what hurts most of all.
I mourn his death, but so much more than that I mourn the lost opportunity to really know him and who he was in his core. To know who he was meant to be.
I love you too! I'll see you at the funeral soon.
Love you Ruth! And I love and miss your boy tremendously!


The April 15th tax filing deadline is less than one week away. At this point, you most likely have already started to gather your tax-related information, such as W-2s, 1099s, health insurance information, and more, but you may not be fully prepared to file just yet. While there may only be a few things you can do to increase your refund or lower your tax bill at this point, we want to share with you a few last minute tax tips you may want to use to make your filing process as seamless as possible.
1- Contribute to your IRA.
According to the IRS, if you have a traditional IRA, you can still contribute up to $5,500 to it for the 2018 tax year until the April 15th deadline. If you are over the age of fifty, the amount increases to $6,500. Even if you do not have a traditional IRA, you still have time to open one and contribute to it until the filing deadline. If you qualify for the traditional IRA tax deduction, the amount you have contributed may be deductible on your tax return.
2- File your taxes even if you are unable to pay.
This is the first time we are filing our taxes under the new tax law. As a result, many people are finding that they are receiving less than they were expecting on their refunds or even owing money. If you find yourself owing more than you expected, it is crucial that you file your return anyway. If you fail to file, the IRS can impose a monthly penalty on top of your unpaid balance. If you file your return and need a few months to pay off the balance, the IRS can offer you an individual payment plan if you qualify and you can learn more about it on the IRS website.
3- Ask for an extension if necessary.
If you are still not ready to file your taxes by April 15th, you may request a six-month extension from the IRS. Typically, the IRS will grant an extension if it is requested before the filing deadline. The IRS does, however, reserve the right to deny a request for extension. The extension, if granted, only provides you with more time to file your taxes, not to pay any amount that you may owe. If your tax bill is higher than you were expecting, consider setting up a monthly installment plan to pay off your bill. You will still have to pay interest on any unpaid balance each month, but this may be an easier way for you to manage your tax bill.
We know that taxes can be a complicated topic, however, it is important to be prepared. Our goal is to share key tax tips to keep you informed. We know this article may raise more questions than it answers for you. Do not wait to contact your personal accountant on this issue or contact our office to schedule a meeting on your estate plan with attorney Alan Hougum.

The evolution of Metro Homes Realty Berhad
Metro Homes has taken an unusual step to ensure its longevity and move it out of its current sphere of a family business. "We are the first agency to be granted Bhd [public limited company] status by [The Board of Valuers, Appraisers, Estate Agents and Property Managers]," says See Kok Loong, executive director of Metro Homes Realty Bhd, formerly Metro Homes Sdn Bhd. "This will allow greater growth of the company. A private limited company, or Sdn Bhd, is allowed a maximum of 50 shareholders. But a public limited company [Bhd] can have more than 50 shareholders." There are two types of public limited companies — listed and non-listed — and Metro Homes Realty Bhd, which commenced operations this month, is the latter. With this new status, See says Metro Homes will be able to compete in the more competitive market since the liberalisation of 2014. One result of this was allowing foreign retail real estate companies to enter the local market. Advertisement "There are two public-listed retail real estate agencies from Singapore now operating here through licensing or franchise," says See. "Retail real estate is for normal day-to-day transactions and usually refers to individual sales. Corporate real estate refers to institutional sales such as real estate investment trusts, corporate rental for expatriate staff and so on." As Metro Homes focuses on retail real estate, increased competition is inevitable. To compete, See believes the company needs to get bigger. Another reason for the change is to retain talent. "Over the years, we have trained a lot of licensed negotiators. After they get their licence, where do they go? They open a new agency and compete with us," See says. "Because there is no room to stay with us. Now, with the bigger entity, there is room. This is one reason I told the board I want to get a Bhd because I want the registered negotiators to stay with me." In addition, See wants to ensure that the company continues long after he and his brother — Datuk See Kok Seng, also an executive director in the new entity — retire from the business. "[Metro Homes] is a family business. But we want to do away with that because we have noticed that, after the owners retire, the company becomes smaller and smaller and irrelevant to the market." "We do not want to see that for Metro Homes. That is one of the reasons we want to move forward. This year, we began looking into what we could do to turn around the current situation, and the time is coming for us groom the next group of people to run the business." See says there was no certainty the request to operate as a public limited company would be approved by the board but the company decided to go ahead and make the request after doing some checking. The process took time as the Valuers, Appraisers, Estate Agents and Property Managers Act 1981, which governs the board, is not clear on whether this could be done. The Act says an agency can operate as a "sole proprietor, partnership or body corporate". "Body corporate" is not defined in the Act but a definition was found in the Companies Act. With this, See presented his proposal to the board and after some checking and ensuring all was in order, his application was approved to operate as a public limited company. Always planning for the future See and his brother have never been ones to stick to the tried and tested path of growth for their company. Since Metro Homes started in 1985, in a small office in Petalng Jaya Old Town, where See and his family live, it has grown until at one time it had 16 offices nationwide. His calling to selling real estate came early. Even when he was studying accountancy at Universiti Malaya, he sat for the negotiator's licence exam. After spending six months in an accounting firm, it was plain to him that that was not the life for him. Over the years, his brother and he have survived several slowdowns, which made them realise the importance of always trying to stay ahead of the market. See saw each slowdown as an opportunity to reinvent Metro Homes to take advantage of the upswing in the property cycle. Today, with the soft market conditions, See took stock, led him to seek public limited company status. He also noticed a rise in the use of technology to do business and is ensuring that Metro Homes embraces property technology. "We want to move into digital transformation — proptech. What we see right now is that most websites are purely providing information. But I see the next stage as transaction based," he says. "We have been given the licence to do transactions. If we don't move into [digital transformation] I think it is a waste. Also, we want to draw people with the same mindset to join us, to help us fulfil this dream of moving into proptech." See will use proptech to train new negotiators and prepare them to grab more market share, and he hopes that with proptech, all stakeholders, including customers, will be well taken care of. "We need to put in technology to ensure that all stakeholders in the real estate ecosystem benefit from its use and there is greater efficiency," he says. With this change in the company and its business status, See acknowledges that more companies will probably follow his lead in time, since he has set a precedent. While the company's overall operations continue without much change, See says the only addition would be financial report submissions. As the interview winds down, See remarks that the company is looking to focus less on the subsale market, which made up 80% of its business, to do more project marketing. He says that by focusing on projects, cash flow is manageable as the money from the developer goes to the agency. As for the future of the company, See believes it will do it good to go for a listing on the LEAP Market. This platform was opened last year for small and medium enterprises to raise funds and visibility in the capital markets. "Maybe in three to five years' time with board approval," he smiles.

From a Kickstarter campaign in 2013, to its world premiere at the Los Angeles Film Festival in 2016, to hitting the big screen and Netflix in 2017, Heidi Saman's debut feature film Namour has gone through one hell of a journey.
Filmmaker and associate producer at NPR's "Fresh Air," Heidi Saman set Namour in Los Angeles during the 2008 economic recession. Namour is a coming-of-age story that explores the cultural melting pot of L.A. through the immigrant lens and experiences.
Saman explores the intricacies of a dwindling sense of identity, belonging, culture, and an immigrant family struggling during a period of financial turmoil. Namour follows 20-something valet driver and son of Egyptian immigrants Steven Bassem, played by Karin Saleh, as he struggles to find the balance between a job he feels stuck in, and the demands of his family. Namour shows a raw depiction of a man finding and losing his way all at once.
After taking home the L.A. Muse Award for Namour in 2016, Saman's film was acquired by award winning director Ava DuVernay's film collective ARRAY. Founded in 2010 by DuVernay, ARRAY is an independent film distribution dedicated to the amplification of experiences by people of color and women filmmakers. Namour is the 15th feature acquisition by ARRAY.
Namour will be on a screening tour in select cities starting March 1, leading up to the film's March 15 Netflix debut.
PAMELA AVILA: What inspired you to create Namour?
HEIDI SAMAN: I had been thinking about the recession of 2008-2009 and about how it might feel for someone who felt like they had opportunities ahead of them — maybe graduating from college — to confront the recession and the realities of that. I also saw people losing their jobs, I saw people losing their homes. At one point, my parents thought they might have to sell their house — and the house that we shoot in the film is actually my parents house.
You've spoken about the difficulties you had with finding investors for Namour. There was a lack of interest from investors for a myriad of reasons, one of them being the fact that your protagonists are Arab-Americans. Why was that an issue?
That was part of it, and part of it was also that if they were going to see an Arab-American in a major role, they wanted him to be doing very stereotypical things. I think what turned people off was the fact that this was an Arab-American guy who has no connection to terrorism, whose religion wasn't foregrounded in his experience.
And I'm also talking about Arab investors. So I think it was a turnoff to them to see an Arab-American guy who wasn't checking those boxes of terrorism, violence, religious oppression — all of those things. He's just a guy who's living his life and is trying to make his way and for whatever reason, that wasn't appealing to them.
You know, this is an independent film, it's fully independent, it's a micro-budget film and it has so much of what I love about filmmaking in it. It's cautious, it doesn't hammer you over the head with how you should feel. It's a film that's supposed to make you feel rather than tell you how to feel. It doesn't overly dictate itself. So everything was about that, about making that feeling even more of an experience.
Why did you choose the Los Angeles and Orange County setting?
I'm from the Orange County area. I've lived in Philadelphia for 13 years now, and I always feel like when you're away from a city for a certain amount of time, you start to have a different perspective on it, or you're able to observe it in a way that you're not able to if you've been living there.
I also felt that the valet culture was such a specific part of Los Angeles. It's this interesting sub-culture of L.A, that you can valet your car to do anything. So I thought it was an interesting thing to examine. I feel the valet culture is one space where you have classes intersecting. You know, where someone of a different class, middle class, working class, it doesn't matter, is inhabiting someone's car. It's a very intimate space. You're in their seat, you're driving their car, you're looking at their things maybe, and I just think there's something weirdly intimate about it.
Aside from touching upon the intersectionality of different classes in Namour, through L.A's valet culture, you've also said in past interviews that the "immigration experience in cinema is often illustrated in terms of binaries." How does your work attempt to break those binaries and make them more nuanced?
I approach it first from my personal experience. I was born in this country, my parents were immigrants, and I felt like I belonged. I didn't experience that feeling of, "I'm not supposed to be here," or this division.
The script came from that experience of, "I'm not questioning whether or not I belong here, I just do." That position is reflected in the fluidity with how the character interacts with his family. His mom speaks to him in Arabic and he responds in English. Even just the static camerawork, I wanted it to feel very meditative. That was a response to how immigrants are often filmed or how the immigrant story is often filmed — which is by a handheld camera. It's gritty, it's rough, they're trying to make their way in this country — that's one experience, but another experience is something that's quite different. It doesn't mean that you don't experience hardship or that you don't experience backlash, but your sense of self as a person doesn't have to feel so bifurcated.
I understand what you mean. It makes me think of Aziz Ansari's Master of None or Jane The Virgin with Gina Rodriguez, and how both shows approach a type of immigration experience in much more nuanced ways. Or the experiences of sons and daughter of immigrants. To me, both shows approach it in a more realistic manner than the stereotypical tropes of a lot of television shows or films.
Yeah, it really did. I feel like the immigration experience is not often portrayed from that first generation, or the people who are here. Master of None was a nice response to that, or a nice reflection of that experience. I'd like to include my work more in that kind of category of work, about experiences that aren't really questioning identity. The character can be Arab-American and it doesn't have to be questioned. It's just a part of who they are.
You have said that Namour is a film about "why life can feel like it's passing us by." Why is that?
Because I feel like that. It all goes by very fast, especially in your 20s. What you confront in your 20s is this possibility of going in every direction and the reality that you're not going to take all of those opportunities. You're just not. And I think there's something sad about that. It's your first confrontation with that truth. You won't take all those opportunities — you're going to take very few of them, because that's just what life is. There's nothing sad about that, but confronting it is sad, I think.
It feels like everything is happening but nothing is happening, because you're just waiting. It's a paradox of that age, between the endless possibilities and the fact that you're stuck — because of money, because of your experience, or limited experience, or because you just don't know what you want yet.
What do you share with Namour's Steven Bassem?
Some of the hard facts are similar. My grandmother lived with my parents and my brother, so she had a big part in raising us, so Steven's relationship with his grandmother is loosely based on my relationship with my grandmother. The house where we filmed was my parents house; it's no longer their house but there's a connection there. We come from the same background, my dad is Egyptian and my mom is Armenian-Lebanese. And I think the feeling, the tension of that age — that's definitely me.
After you graduated from UCSD, you moved to Cairo to work as a freelance journalist. How did you decide to tell stories as a filmmaker rather than a journalist?
I still have one big foot in the world of journalism because of my day job at Fresh Air. But when I was working in Cairo, I was writing for an English language newspaper, and the English literacy rate in Egypt is not fantastic, so I really experienced how limited my reporting was. I could not access people who did not speak English or read in English, and it just wasn't accessible. I think I got frustrated with how limiting that was, and my next thought was that images can overcome all of that. You can reach a much wider audience with film. It's images, it's audio, and there can be subtitles. And there are people that want to sit in a movie theatre, it's entertainment. I think entertainment is a good way to include journalism. So I felt the limits of my journalism in Cairo.
How did you feel when the production company ARRAY approached you, interested in distributing Namour more widely?
I was very humbled, and grateful, and excited. They're just building such a solid canon of films. I believe in what Ava DuVernay is doing, I believe in what [Executive Director] Tilane Jones, and [Marketing Director] Mercedes Cooper are doing. We need our own canon. I say our, meaning people of color. I like that they've expanded, I'm glad to be part of their canon because that's how we move things, that's how we start changing things.
Now that you're weeks away from Namour's premiere, how are you preparing for the big day?
This is a first for me. I never thought my film would be seen by potentially this many people, a click away and you can watch this film. I will be honest, I'm quite nervous.
It seems like it's been a long journey.
It does, you're right. I don't know, I think any time you open yourself up to judgement and criticism, it's very scary — but I'm also just glad people will have the potential to see it. I'm glad and grateful that's a possibility. People watch Master of None and Jane the Virgin, and I just hope I can contribute to this kind of work that shows a more dynamic, comedic, sad — a more nuanced — version of our experiences. Because we need more images, we need those stories. We just need more stories of people of color.


Pest infestations can cause individuals and homeowners serious stress and even financial issues. In fact, for termite repairs alone, U.S. resident spent an estimated $5 billion annually.
Another bug problem, however, might not cause too much damage to your property, but can definitely lead to some health issues.
Mosquito problems are one of the most dangerous pest control issues to have on your property because these pests are carriers of some horrible diseases.

They have been around since the Jurassic period, making them about 210 million years old.
There are more than 3,000 species.
Only the female bugs actually bite because the female needs blood to help her eggs develop.
The average male only live approximately 10 days or less while females can live up to eight weeks.
Female insects can drink up to eight times its weight in blood.
More deaths are associated with these flying pests than any other animal on the planet.
Their wings beat between 300 and 600 times per second.
They can detect carbon dioxide from 75 feet away.
Some types actually prefer biting birds and frogs instead of humans.
They typically fly an estimated 1 to 1.5 miles per hour.
They can detect a moving target from approximately 18 feet away.
They are all over the world even in cold environments like the Arctic.
These pests can irritate you for a few seconds as well as infect you with a horrible disease — so always be on the lookout for them. Don't let mosquitoes ruin your summer or any season for that matter. Take care of your body and your property as best you can. If you are in need of immediate pest control, contact Dixon Pest Services today.
No one wants pests inside their home. A pest infestation can not only gross out members of your family, certain pests can actually cause real damage to the structural integrity of your house. In order to protect your family and your home, as well as save a significant amount of money on repair costs, you need to focus on preventing these pests from entering your home — and getting rid of them immediately if they do make it inside.

Termites damage roughly 600,000 homes every year across the United States.
There are 45 different species of termites in the U.S. alone and over 2,300 worldwide termite species.
Termites have existed on earth for more than 250 million years.
It's estimated that there are 1,000 pounds of termites around the world for every human being.
A termite mound is a structure that houses a colony of termites, and one of the largest known mounds in the world was approximately 42 feet tall (the size of a two-story house).
Larger termite mounds can house over 3 million bugs.
African termites can grow to five inches long and an African termite queen can lay up to 30,000 eggs a day.
Termites never sleep and work 24 hours a day.
Subterranean termites are found in every state in the U.S. except for Alaska.
Worker termites search for food up to 250 feet away from their colony.
If you have a termite issue or any other pest problem, it's important that you act right away. Give Dixon Pest Services a call today and start taking your home back.

"Peter Dazeley has gained access to the hidden interiors of some of London's most iconic buildings, from Tower Bridge to Battersea Power Station, Big Ben to the Old Bailey. His photographs of these buildings - some derelict, but many still working - are astonishing. Here is a collection of some 50 extraordinary locations, with a thoughtful text by Mark Daly which tells the story of how each of these places was created, how they are used, and what they reveal about the currents of power flowing through the city. Unseen London takes you backstage at some of the capital's great theatres, into the changing rooms of some of our greatest temples of sport, into the heart of the Establishment, the boiler room of the city's infrastructure and behind the scenes at some of the most opulent buildings in the Square Mile." -- provided by publisher.

Back in 1983, renowned Taoist master Mantak Chia introduced to the West a practice which has revolutionized the way we view healing — bone breathing. One of the first students to learn the technique was a middle aged woman from Los Angeles, California, who was rapidly losing bone mass in her spine. Despite treatment from a range of specialists, her spine continued to deteriorate. She was told the eventual outcome of the disorder would be a full spinal collapse — leading to such severe damage of the nervous system that she would be paralyzed and have her life cut short.
Needless to say, when she learned about bone breathing and the potential it held to heal her, she immediately enrolled in the class and embarked on a daily routine following the practices. For three hours each day, she continuously worked with the breathing exercises. She also adopted a special posture while standing to align herself in the most efficient way for receiving universal energies. Since the skeleton is viewed in Taoism as an antenna for these energies, the positioning of the body is crucial.
Apparently, this is not an isolated case. Since first introduced in the 1980's, similar stories of seemingly miraculous healing have been reported by people throughout the West. The practice (demonstrated below) has also been successfully used for accelerated healing of broken bones and torn ligaments. Moreover, bone breathing helps to boost immunity, increase sexual energy, calm the mind, promote relaxation and reduce stress.
The ancient Taoist masters of China developed the practice of bone breathing as a yogic exercise for developing higher consciousness and opening the highest human potential. These simple breathing practices were also found to significantly regenerate bone marrow. The masters recognized long ago that — like all energy processes — the human body ages and is subject to the laws of change and decay. The human skeleton is especially sensitive to this natural progression. They also realized that the bones are the most dense aspect of the body, where the crystalline microstructure is conductive to absorbing and transmitting the energies of the earth and beyond.
Once the Taoists identified these properties, they were inspired to develop a method to maintain the skeletal structure and curb the process of decay and weakening. Subsequently, bone breathing was born.
As babies, our bones are heavy and dense with red marrow. Over time, this bone mass deteriorates due to poor diet and lack of physical exercise — and the red marrow is replaced with a fatty white marrow. Progressive reduction of density soon follows, making our bones more porous and frail.
Modern medicine commonly uses calcium supplements or hormone replacement therapy in an attempt to slowdown the degeneration. But the ancient Taoists found that bone breathing is more than capable of arresting bone loss — and can even replace bone mass and red marrow through consistent practice.
The main focus of bone breathing is not the gross breath that enters through the nostrils, but instead what is called the subtle breath — which is universal energy absorbed through every pore of the skin. The subtle breath is directed to the bone marrow through our attention. For instance, during the exercise, we begin by focusing our awareness on the tip of the index finger, then slowly we draw our attention up the length of the bone.
If you prefer written steps for this technique, check out this article. If you would like to go deeper into the practice, Mantak Chia's book Bone Marrow Nei Kung: Taoist Techniques for Rejuvenating the Blood and Bone is an excellent resource.

Гостинично-ресторанный бизнес (ГРБ) — понятие, используемое в лексиконе маркетологов и специалистов по продажам, операторами и участниками рынка (рестораторами, отельерами, шеф-поварами, компаниями-поставщиками и производителями оборудования, продуктов питания и услуг для отелей/гостиниц, ресторанов, баров и кафе), обозначающее область сферы услуг индустрии гостеприимства (общественного питания и гостиничного хозяйства) и особый канал сбыта товаров с непосредственным потреблением продукции в месте продажи «с рук» (), отличный от продажи «на вынос» ().

В ряде источников иногда употребляется слово HoReCa — акроним от первых двух букв слов Hotel — Restaurant — Catering/Café (отель — ресторан — кейтеринг/кафе).

ГРБ как сегмент сферы услуг
Гостинично-ресторанный бизнес представляет собой услуги отелей, гостиниц и гостевых домов, а также аренды апартаментов и, в целом, обозначает услуги гостеприимства и общественного питания.

Как торговый канал HoReCa представляет собой объединение предприятий общественного питания, сферы услуг, поставщиков B2B-товаров, товаров, предназначенных для перепродажи в точках реализации HoReCa, а также производителей данных товаров, представителей информационно-маркетинговых услуг.

Точки продаж HoReCa
Под определение точки продаж HoReCa подпадают все точки оказания услуг общественного питания, при этом их объединяет процесс непосредственного употребления продукции на месте реализации. Потребление в сегменте HoReCa происходит в ресторанах, барах, гостиницах, кафе, закусочных, клубах, столовых, бистро, кофейнях и других предприятиях, которые можно отнести к общественному питанию и гостиничному хозяйству.

Товары HoReCa

Товары HoReCa представляют собой продукцию для продажи в точках HoReCa, а также товары и оборудование для обеспечения деятельности данного сегмента. К подобного вида товарам относятся готовые к употреблению пищевые товары, такие как:
 Алкоголь, сигареты, снековая ( «перекус») группа продукции и другие товары для перепродажи в точках HoReCa.
 Полуфабрикаты для последующего приготовления, среди которых: замороженные и сублимированные продукты и другие товары, предназначенные для последующего приготовления в точках продаж HoReCa.
 B2B-товары для обеспечения деятельности HoReCa, включая расходные материалы.
 Эксклюзивная продукция премиум-класса для ресторанов и баров.
 Специализированное оборудование HoReCa, различные приспособления для гостиничного и ресторанного бизнеса.
 Так называемые товары но-фуд-группы — расходные материалы для клиентского обслуживания.
 POS-материалы HoReCa ( «место продажи») — рекламно-маркетинговые материалы, которые способствуют продвижению определённого бренда или товара в точках продаж HoReCa: подставки под салфетки, тейбл-тенты, меню-холдеры и проч.

Маркетинг HoReCa

Необходимо разделять маркетинг точки продаж HoReCa и маркетинг продаваемых с помощью точек товаров HoReCa.

Маркетинг товаров, продаваемых через HoReCa — маркетинг продвижения товаров в точке продаж. При этом сегмент HoReCa не предназначен для реализации продукции в больших объёмах, к которым привыкли поставщики и продавцы ритейла. Как правило, HoReCA является специфическим каналом для потребительских марок для создания репутации (имиджа) и расширения присутствия на рынке/занятия ниши. Продажа товара посредством HoReCa позволяет повысить брендовую стоимость товара (увеличить дополнительную стоимость товарного знака) за счёт антуража точки продажи (заведения), искусства обслуживающего персонала и опыта поваров. Таким образом, данный канал позволяет активно стимулировать продажи определённых марок в розницу. При этом, в отличие от ритейла, в точках продаж HoReCa нет необходимости предоставления большого количества конкурентных марок. В основном, в данной сфере используются эксклюзивные контракты.

Для продвижения продукции в HoReCa используются следующие маркетинговые стратегии:
 Брендинг точки HoReCa.
 Программы лояльности среди постоянных клиентов.
 Программы стимулирования увеличения среднего чека, количества чеков от одного потребителя.
 Программы перекрёстного маркетинга (в случае размещения в торговых центрах и прочих точках с собственной клиентурой).
 Наружная реклама.
 Программы массового обслуживания внутри и за пределами точек HoReCa, среди которых:
 банкетные программы
 кейтеринг
 программы сезонного обслуживания
 программы выездной торговли.

Для успешного маркетинга HoReCa необходимо оперативное взаимодействие точек продаж, поставщиков и информационных партнёров, что в совокупности позволит обеспечить максимальную удовлетворённость посетителей бизнеса. Следующие элементы необходимы для эффективного маркетинга HoReCa:
 Качество и его сохранение.
 Постоянство всего, что было признано клиентурой «успешным».
 Соблюдение технологичности процесса, производства и упаковки.
 Терпимость и порядочность по отношению к потребителю (клиенту).
 Успешный брендинг самой точки и товаров, в ней предлагаемых.
 Эффективный маркетинг (информационный охват аудитории) за пределами точки HoReCa.

Q: Tooltip using Prototype.js It seems so hard to find a easy to use tooltip for Prototype library. The ones that are out there are so bloated.
What I am looking for is something as simple as this.
This is my sentenceTooltip is here that ends in sorrow. How can I make this happen like how? without killing people.

I have a CSS solution but the problem is once the tooltip is near edge of browser, it goes off the edge. I like it to be smart and not go off the edge of browser window.
Anyways? I was thinking of using Prototype to find the x-y coordinates of pop-up and move it. but how to do it?
This is what I am using for CSS
.date_info a:hover {background:#ffffff; text-decoration:none;} /*BG color is a must for IE6*/
.date_info a.tooltip span {display:none; padding:2px 3px; margin-left:8px; width:200px;}
.date_info a.tooltip:hover span{display:inline; position:absolute; background:#ffffff; border:1px solid #555; color:#6c6c6c;}

A: There's a good tooltip project for prototype called prototip2, have you checked this out? even if you dont end up using it it might be helpful to have a dig around in the code to get some ideas, or is this one of the bloated ones you referred to?
If it helps, this is a snippet of prototype js i put together that detects if an element is within the viewport or not which might get you started if you're not happy with the other solution.
function withinViewport(el) {
    var elOffset = $(el).cumulativeOffset(el);
    vpOffset = document.viewport.getScrollOffsets();
    elDim = $(el).getDimensions();
    vpDim = document.viewport.getDimensions();
    if (elOffset[1] + elDim.height < vpOffset[1] || elOffset[1] > vpOffset[1] + vpDim.height ||
        elOffset[0] + elDim.width < vpOffset[0]  || elOffset[0] > vpOffset[0] + vpDim.width) {
        return false;
    }
    return true;
}

you could use this something like:
if(!withinViewport($(el)){
  // move me - add padding / margin or something like that
}

A: You can fine below links as a good resources for Prototype tooltips:
1] Prototip
2] Prototip2
3] Cooltips
Those are three resource i found very interesting and helpful.

A: CoolTips seems right up your alley.

A: I have not checked it yet. I think you can use Opentip which is a tool tip framework. You can choose one for your framework. It is there for prototype also. If you are not intended to support IE8, you don't have to use -excanvas file. If you are not intended to debug, you will be a happy user with 'min.js'

Quick breakfast on the go.
And I failed so many times...so don't be too hard on yourself...if your intentions are good....then it's all good finally. Team Human!!!!! Yeah!
Any time I want to interject and help someone else... I take a deep breath - ask for help from a higher power- then proceed with respect in my tone and words... and a "do unto others as I would want to be done unto me" Kindly ...I usually find the words to help. Sometimes not...and sometimes not how I think I helped...but at least I tried.
My best to you on your quest! That's I hard one...yet the question of how to help others is sooooooo worthwhile.
My best to you. I only do well when I concentrate on what I can do NOW - TODAY. Baby steps...Baby steps...Baby steps!
When I started 3 years ago, I could only do "Chair Yoga" because of my weight and inflexibility. Now .......I do a full yoga practice- floor [35 to 40 mins] 5-7 times a week and Balance and weight workouts 4 times a week. But for me, it has been a very slow progression for weight loss and exercise ability.
In this way...I have come to feel that it is a true lifestyle change.
Be kind to yourself...Be here now. My best to you.

Q: How slow is slow in postgres? I'm working with postgres for the first time. I have a lot of experience with small / medium size data analysis (i.e. things that fit in ram and can be analyzed in R, Stata, Matlab, etc.), but am now working with big data (300-750gb) for the first time.
As a result, I have no concept of how long things should be taking. I think my database is performing very poorly, but having never worked on these scales I don't really know.
So here's my question: even basic queries are taking me at least 8 hours on a 237gb table. Vacuum takes ~6 hours. And a query pulling out distinct pairs of values:
CREATE TABLE UserPairs AS
SELECT DISTINCT a, group_a, sum(quantity) FROM cdr GROUP BY (a, group_a) HAVING type = 'DATA' AND group_a IS NOT NULL;

ran for 8 hours before I aborted.
An attempt to build 4 hash indices over main columns ran for 24 hours then crashed.
Hardware: 3 cores, 12 gb ram Windows 8 server VM. (I know, but I don't have control over my hardware. Long story).
So basically: within an order of magnitude, how long should I expect basic queries to take in postgres for tables of this size?
And if this seems way off, how do I get more precise benchmarks? I'm running pgbench now, but can't find resources on how to interpret the results. This listserv exchange suggests there aren't any repositories of results...

*

*1.5 billion rows.

*Settings are default, looks like work_mem = 1mb, maintanence_work_mem = 16mb.

*IO System: it's a VM so the disk is just listed as a "VMware virtual disk SCSI disk device", but Performance Monitor says avg Disc sec/transfer is 0.010sec and average disk queue length is 2.16.

A: You have to first set expectations - a screen that does such and such activities should complete each action in 1 second and all actions in 5 seconds and so on. For example, a search screen should retrieve results in 3 seconds, the booking actions (ticket booking) should be completed in 30 seconds etc.
Then work towards meeting those targets. That is the "normal" performance you want. Now go about meeting those targets. The database may be your bottleneck, it may not be. To identify issues at the database side, try using a tool like pgbadger. That will tell you which queries are taking time.
By the way, 8 hours for a query is probably not acceptable under any circumstance. Try the tool pgtune and see if there is scope for optimizing parameters.

A: If you are grouping you don't need a distinct and move the conditions from the having to the where
select a, group_a, sum(quantity)
from cdr
where type = 'DATA' and group_a is not null
group by a, group_a;

Here's an old image courtesy of Syd Bird showing the old Hoylake railway station. We've no idea of the date, but it must have been along time ago!
After a little bit of searching I stumbled upon this informative page about the old Hoylake signal box. The signal box closed in 1994 apparently …I can remember seeing a bloke in there raising and lowering the level crossing gates. I wonder if the signal box is actually used for anything now?
One of the chaps (I can't remember his name) who now mans the counter at Hoylake station was the last signalman to operating the box you mention and the exhibits in the Liverpool bound waiting room (tickets, photographs, timetables etc.) are drawn from his private collection. I've had a few interesting chats with him whilst waiting for the train about his life working on the railways.
Thanks for that info …I'll see if I can pop along and have a chat with him sometime.
Maybe a railway buff can date the photograph, the line was formed in 1883 and electrified in 1938 when the new station was built. Steam was still used for the daily coal trains up to the late 60s. My guess is the photo is early 1900s. The under river bit (separate company) was electrified in 1903 and I think the actual Mr Westinghouse himself was involved. I remember the New Brighton-Liverpool trains with their funny clestory roof and a middle rail for electric pickup.
Very interesting photo. My mother worked as a booking clerk between the years 1914 – 1920 at this station.
The Station Master at his time was a Mr Cherry. I have a reference written by him on my mother`s behalf.
Unfortunately she had to leave in order that ex soldiers seeking employment were to replace female staff.
work in the City by horse and carriage. Fares were often tendered by means of gold sovereigns by city merchants.
The dress code identifiable from the photo would appear to be from the above period.


The idea of buying something now and paying for it later is always very tempting. Imagine you can have the object of your desire right away and don't have to save up for it first. Imagine you can go to your dream holiday right now and don't have to wait until you have enough money. Imagine you never have to wait but can have everything you want right now. A personal loan can make this possible.
Taking out a loan can be a very practical way indeed to purchase something before you have the money for it. You could take advantage of special deals which only might be available for a short time, or replace a broken gadget which you might need for work.
Everything you buy with the help of a loan will become more expensive! No loan company will give you money for nothing. There will be fees, and most of all, interest rates. If you chose to pay your loan back over a long period of time the monthly outgoings will be easier to fit into your household budget, but the interest rates will be accordingly high.
Before choosing a loan it is important to first make sure one really can keep up with the repayments. If a purchase can actually wait it is much wiser to save the money first and then spend it. Always make sure you really can afford the loan before applying and never forget to read the terms and conditions very carefully.

Q: Question regarding the implementation of the paper " guided random walks" weighing functions
*

*I'm working on the implementation of the paper: Segmentation by retrieval with guided random walks: Application to left ventricle segmentation in MRI.

*I tried to modify the weights functions mentioned in Scikit-Image random walker algorithm to fulfil the mathematical model explained in the paper, as in the photo down.

*My questions is :

*

*Is this implementation of the weight functions according to the paper is correct?

*Why the original function on random walker algorithm reverse the signal of the weights to negative at end?

def compute_weights_3d(data,raw,alpha, beta, eps=1.e-6):
    # raw is the test image(3D grayscale), data is an image from prior knowledge(3D grayscale)
    # raw and data have same size, while data has a driver(label)
    # Weight calculation is main difference in multispectral version
    # Original gradient**2 replaced with sum of gradients ** 2
    inter_gradients = np.concatenate([np.diff(data[..., 0], axis=ax).ravel()
         for ax in [2, 1, 0] if data.shape[ax] > 1], axis=0) ** 2 # gradient ^2
    intra_gradients = (raw - data)**2
    # Normalize gradients
    inter_gradients = (inter_gradients - np.amin(inter_gradients))/(np.amax(inter_gradients)- np.amin(inter_gradients))
    intra_gradients = (intra_gradients - np.amin(intra_gradients))/(np.amax(intra_gradients)- np.amin(intra_gradients))

    # All dimensions considered together in this standard deviation
    #------------------------------------------------------
    inter_scale_factor  = -beta  / (10 * data.std())
    inter_weights = np.exp(inter_scale_factor * inter_gradients)
    inter_weights += eps
    #------------------------------------------------------
    intra_scale_factor  = -alpha / (10 * data.std())
    inter_weights = np.exp(intra_scale_factor * intra_gradients)
    intra_weights += eps
    #------------------------------------------------------
    return -inter_weights, -intra_weights

A: The Answer is that:

*

*The implementation of the weight functions according to the paper is incorrect,
Down the correct one.

*They reversed the signal on weighing function and reversed it back again in the matrices calculation so there is no difference.

def compute_weights(image,mask,alpha, beta, eps=1.e-6):
    # Weight calculation is main difference in multispectral version
    # Original gradient**2 replaced with sum of gradients ** 2
    intra_gradients = np.concatenate([np.diff(image, axis=ax).ravel()
     for ax in [1, 0] ], axis=0) ** 2            # gradient ^2
    # print('intra_gradients shape',intra_gradients.shape)
    # 5-Connected
    inter_gradients = np.concatenate([np.diff(mask, axis=ax).ravel()
    for ax in [1, 0] ], axis=0)**2
    # inter_gradients = np.concatenate((inter_gradients,(mask-image).ravel()),axis=0)**2  # gradient ^2
    # print('inter_gradients shape',inter_gradients.shape)
    #----------------------------------------
    # 1-Connected
    # inter_gradients = (image - mask)**2
    #----------------------------------------
    # Normalize gradients
    intra_gradients = (intra_gradients - np.amin(intra_gradients))/(np.amax(intra_gradients)- np.amin(intra_gradients))
    inter_gradients = (inter_gradients - np.amin(inter_gradients))/(np.amax(inter_gradients)- np.amin(inter_gradients))
    # print('Intra Gradiesnt_Shape: ',intra_gradients.shape)
    # All dimensions considered together in this standard deviation
    #------------------------------------------------------
    intra_scale_factor  = -beta  / (10 * image.std())
    intra_weights = np.exp(intra_scale_factor * intra_gradients)
    intra_weights += eps
    #------------------------------------------------------
    inter_scale_factor  = -alpha / (10 * image.std())
    inter_weights = np.exp(inter_scale_factor * inter_gradients)
    inter_weights += eps

Beware the Gomal Trojan, Warns Kaspersky Lab
Identity and access management (IAM), Malware and Vulnerabilities
Kaspersky Lab has detected a new mobile Trojan that targets Android devices while camouflaged as an innocent game of Tic-Tac-Toe. The Gomal Trojan collects information about the devices it infects and sends all that data to its master server. But this malicious program also has new functions that are rarely seen in this type of malware.
Gomal camouflage
Gomal has all the usual spyware functionality. It can record sounds, process calls and steal SMS. In addition, it possesses mechanisms that provide access to various Linux services, attacking the operating system on which Android is based. In particular, the Trojan can read the process memory, jeopardising many communication applications. For example, it can steal emails from Good for Enterprise – an application positioned as a secure email client for corporate use. As a result, any data theft could cause serious problems for the company where the device owner works.
FREE Webinar on Oct. 21 at 3:30pm EDT: The Top 3 Threats to Retail IT Security and How You Can Defend your Data
"This seemingly harmless game of TicTacToe gives cybercriminals access to an enormous amount of the user's personal data and corporate data belonging to his employer. The techniques used by Gomal were originally implemented in Windows Trojans, but now we can see they have moved on to Android malware. What's more alarming is that this technique can be adapted to steal data from other applications as well as Good for Enterprise. It is therefore likely that a range of mobile malware designed to attack popular email clients, messengers and other programs will appear in the near future," says Anton Kivva, antivirus analyst at Kaspersky Lab.
To reduce the risk of infection by mobile malware we recommend that users:
· Do not activate the "Install applications from third-party sources" option.
· Only install applications from official channels (Google Play, Amazon Store, etc.).
· When installing new apps, carefully study which rights they request.
· If the requested rights do not correspond with the app's intended functions, do not install the app.
· Use protection software.
More details about the Gomal Trojan are available at Securelist.com.

Nearly 90,000 men will have a radical prostatectomy this year to remove their cancerous prostate. Not too long ago, a radical prostatectomy was an invasive "open" surgical procedure that required a huge incision in the abdomen—ensuring patient's endured a slow and painful road to recovery. But nurturing a belly-button-to-pubic-bone incision wasn't all men had to contend with as they battled prostate cancer. A penile catheter had to be worn for one or two weeks following surgery. For most men, coping with a catheter ranks right up there with waxing their chest hair.
USMD Prostate Cancer Center is one of only a few places in the United States that offers the catheter-less prostatectomy. Dr. Bevan-Thomas and Dr. Lee, along with their colleagues—a team of board-certified urologists and robotic surgeons including Dr. Scott Thurman, Dr. David Shepherd and Dr. Keith A Waguespack—have all been on the leading edge of minimally invasive robot-assisted prostatectomies. Today, they all offer the catheter-less robotic prostatectomy and are enthusiastic about its results. In fact, the USMD robotic team began using the technique as early as 2009. In that time, they have logged countless hours of experience. As early adopters of the da Vinci surgical robot system, the team has performed more than 4,500 robot-assisted prostatectomies—making them one of the most experienced robotic teams in world.
Oliver Crozby found that level of expertise reassuring when he underwent his robot-assisted prostatectomy at USMD Prostate Cancer Center. "You go in and you're scared. You don't know what's going to happen and they put you at ease right away. Dr. Bevan-Thomas saved my life," he says.
Learn more about the revolutionary catheter-less prostatectomy and other treatment options for prostate cancer by calling the USMD Prostate Cancer Center at 1-888-PROSTATE (1-888-776-7828).


Skills development is a very relevant and important topic in the modern world, so it makes for an excellent essay topic. However, writing a decent paper can be hard if you don't know how to go about it. If you find yourself struggling, have a look at this helpful guide to get some ideas about how to write an outstanding essay about skills development.
Before you get started on your paper, you need to read the assignment brief very carefully. Make sure that you take note of all the important information, such as the number of pages and due date.
Skills development is a very broad topic, so it's crucial that you find a specific aspect of the field to cover. You can't possibly write a decent paper about the entire field in one go.
Once you've selected an aspect of the topic to cover, you need to research it properly. You can do your research on the Internet and at your local library. However, make sure that you only use reliable sources or the quality of your work may be compromised.
Now you should make a brief outline for your paper. It need only contain basic details, like the headings and subheadings. Include a title page, table of contents, introduction, main headings, subheadings, conclusion, list of references, and any appendices that you have. You can write a brief description under each heading if you want to.
It's finally time to write your paper! So, sit down and write it according to the outline you drew up. You don't have to stick to the outline completely because it's only there to guide you.
Once you've written your paper, you should read though it and edit it. Change anything that you are not satisfied with. You can rework it as much as you want.
The final step in the process is to proofread your paper. So, read though it carefully again to find and correct any mistakes in it. You can also ask someone else to proofread it for you.
Now that you know what you're doing, you should be able to compose an excellent essay about skills development that will earn you an outstanding grade.

Worldsensing partners with Naeko to boost sustainability
Worldsensing today announced moves to further improve the sustainability of its supply chain through a partnership with Naeko Logistics.
The move will see Worldsensing, the IoT pioneer and a global leader in providing remote monitoring solutions, shipping its technology to more than 270 engineering companies and partners in over 60 countries via a provider that shares the company's strong environmental, social and governance (ESG) credentials.
Naeko is one of Spain's foremost logistics providers in terms of ESG performance and is currently seeking B Corporation certification, the highest level of institutional recognition in this field. Naeko's ESG commitments include investments in renewable energy generation and 100% recyclable packaging.
The logistics firm, based in Sant Boi de Llobregat near Barcelona in Spain, is an ideal partner for Worldsensing. The company's monitoring technology addresses four of the United Nation's sustainable development goals, including improvements in affordable and clean energy and building resilient infrastructure.
"Our commitment to society and the environment extends across our supply chain," said Steve Cahill, Worldsensing's Chief Operating Officer. "That's why we are particularly pleased to have forged this partnership with Naeko.
"Naeko's investment in social and environmental measures, from sponsoring local sports clubs to migrating to a zero-emissions vehicle fleet, are fully in line with our own ambitions for sustainability and civic responsibility."
Recent ESG initiatives at Naeko have helped save 250 tons of CO2 since 2019 and include a 100-kilowatt solar array for renewable energy at the company's head office, low-power LED lighting in the company's Sant Boi warehouse and the replacement of plastic and non-biodegradable packaging with 100% recycled or recyclable materials.
"ESG performance is a critical part of our culture," said Naeko's CEO, Xavier Roma. "We are delighted that this has been a key factor in sealing our partnership with Worldsensing, a company that shares our environmental, social and governance values.
"We are also happy to be working with a company that helps safeguard communities and ecosystems through the improved monitoring of critical infrastructures such as dams and mines."
Worldsensing has been involved in projects to build and advance sustainable solutions funded by the European Union for over a decade. Among them is the Greenedge project, which seeks to promote, design and implement more energy-efficient edge computing systems. Within the Harvestore initiative, Worldsensing is contributing to developing green solutions for energy harvesting and storing. The company is also a member of the European Institute of Innovation and Technology EIT RawMaterials group.

India has roughly around 300 million cows. In many parts of the country cows are worshipped as Gods. Indian's consider this domestic animal sacred and holy and there are many God men who are against killing of cows. Cows are free animals and a large percentage of them roam around without any restraints. This makes them vulnerable, especially at nights, to get hit by motorists. That's why Indian government has taken a great initiative.
Post to a series of animal accidents in Madhya Pradesh, the government decided to use orange glow bands to be attached around the horns of the cows and bulls in the area . These strips are similar to that of cyclist which they wear around their ankles.
Following the initiative, the government looked up the accident statistics. In a month the percentage of deaths and accidents overall dropped by 7%. Although the trial has been conducted at a smaller scale, the government is planning to expand the program in other parts of the nation as well.
However, the orange glow strips needs to be changed occasionally since it does not stick up more than 2 weeks. And so, now these holy animals will get a radium coating on their horns. Although, the program is yet to be full-fledged as the major concern is Radium being radioactive and is health hazarding, we are keeping our finger crossed.

I knew my passion that year that I decided to venture into a foreign country accompanied by an Erasmus scholarship. That year I was able to open my eyes and my mind and discover that the passion of my life is to travel, explore new cultures, meet people and see that the world is much bigger than we think and that each and every one of us part of him.

Dad-of-three, 45, died at Royal Stoke after doctors couldn't cure lung infection
He had been 'fit and healthy' just three months before his death
Kathie McInnes
Get all the news from the courts direct to your inbox with our court and crime email
The family of a 45-year-old dad will never know exactly what caused him to develop lung problems that led to his death.
An inquest has heard Jeremy Parton was referred for tests after he started to suffer from shortness of breath and a cough.
A biopsy at the Royal Stoke University Hospital revealed he had a fibrotic lung, a serious condition that meant the organ had become stiff and scarred.
During the procedure, a section of lung tissue was removed and the surrounding area stapled together. But in the days that followed, he developed an infection and had to be readmitted to hospital.
Mr Parton went into respiratory arrest and had to be rescusitated. It emerged he had suffered irreversible damage and he died on January 30 last year.

The IT consultant, from Sneyd Green, had never worked in an industry recognised as a risk factor for this particular type of lung disease.
But Shilajit Ghosh, a consultant thoracic surgeon at the Royal Stoke, told the inquest that most such cases had an unknown cause.
"From what we know, when metals get in the lung, like iron and carbon, that's when the fibrosis starts," he said. "It's all the pollution going round."
Mr Parton, who had previously been a smoker, first started to feel unwell back in October 2018 and had the biopsy on December 4 that year. It was essential in order to plan his treatment.
But the procedure was classed as high-risk due to common complications.
Mr Ghosh added: "It became difficult to override the infection."
Mr Parton's partner, Rachel Mountford, said it appeared 'nothing was done' for him 'week after week'. "I feel he was failed," she added.
His mum Pauline Parton told the inquest her son had been a gymnast and was 'fit and healthy' up until the lung problems.
His cause of death was put down to acute respiratory failure, against a background of advanced pulmonary fibrosis.
North Staffordshire senior coroner Andrew Barkley said he was satisfied that the treatment was appropriate. "It's a reality of life that not all infections can be got on top of," he added.
He recorded a narrative conclusion, saying the death was due to natural causes, contributed to by a recognised complication of surgery.
