FEAR. Heart thumping, adrenalin rushing, sweat drenching, gut wrenching....FEAR!
The power of FEAR grips us with its tensile strength. FEAR can be a strangling stronghold. FEAR can be used for evil purposes or to spark heroic efforts. Our goal today is to channel crippling FEAR and doubt into a powerful source of strength. This will be demanding, but we are now going to face FEAR head on. We are going to face FEAR together.
Plato profoundly stated, "We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light." Chilling statement. True today. We are a nation of politically correct, dumbed-down, spineless, cowering cowards wallowing in a cess pool of apathy and self-centered lifestyles. It doesn't have to be like this. We can change.
As I open up my daily e-mail folder, I look at letters and messages that run the gamut. Informative news, interesting notes, encouraging messages, silly jokes, beautiful cards, inspirational stories, heart-warming tales, action alerts, disturbing missives, hateful ramblings, and spam. I often read my morning e-mail before breakfast. My e-mail bag can pry open my eyes quicker than a cup of espresso coffee.
In the past couple of years, my e-mail has been peppered with a common pattern that really should be viewed as a wake-up call for all Americans. Good people are writing me letters encouraging me to keep on doing what I'm doing. They thank me for my activism. They congratulate me for my efforts. They pray for me. This is so nice. The problem is though, it's not about me; it's about all of us working together for the betterment of our life, our family, our community, our country, and our world. So many of the people who write to me also let me know how very afraid they are of getting involved, speaking up, FEARful of writing letters to their local newspapers, trembling at the thought of calling a talk show, absolutely terrified of picketing for a cause....and so it goes. The FEAR is so thick; I feel that I can almost reach out and touch it through the screen on my computer terminal. I am not belittling the fear that these people are sharing with me. Why should I? Sometimes I am just as afraid as they are. It's hard, but not impossible, to break out of "the deer caught in the headlights" syndrome. FEAR has a way of gripping one so bad that you don't know if you should stand still, run, or fight.
So many people apologize for their non-involvement in important issues, causes, concerns, and events. The reasons often cited are that they are afraid someone will hurt them, someone will find out what their beliefs are and they will be fired from their jobs, someone may say something they feel unable to respond to, someone may send them nasty e-mails, etc.
Well, please don't apologize. The fact is that I am afraid sometimes, too. I have learned to harness my FEAR and use that FEAR producing energy in a beneficial manner. With a loving heart, I exhort you to get involved with your family, your community, your state, our nation, and the world. Don't be daunted by this task. Memorize Everett Hale's words of wisdom: "I am only one, but I am one. I cannot do everything, but I can do something. What I can do, I should do and, with the help of God, I will do!"
Don't stop reading. Don't say this message is not for you. Come on, let's continue on together. Let me tell you how I became involved in political, Christian, and pro-life concerns.
God's love empowers me, but the Clinton-Gore admininistration & associates inspired my activism. As with many families, our life centered around our family, work, school, church, and our community. Nothing noteworthy about our family. As for politics, we voted in every election. In 1992, the Clinton-Gore team became our "leaders" for 8 long years. Our family learned more about politics than we ever wanted to know. What a wake-up call!
What could we do? Obviously, going to the polls and voting just wasn't enough. We listened to talk radio. and talk TV programs. We found out that we weren't alone --- manyAmericans felt just like us. Oh, well, maybe things would get better in Washington, D.C. Nope, it didn't.
My husband connected us to that new-fangled technological toy, the Internet. I wasn't interested. One day I was cleaning house when my husband said that instead of yelling at the TV; I could actually make those same statements in the chat room and not only would the other "chatters" read my statements, but the hosts of the talk shows would sometimes read the statements on the air. Oh!
Well, my husband said, "Do you want an e-mail account?" I said, "Why would I want an e-mail account?" He said, "You can send e-mail to anyone anywhere in the world." Oh, wow!!
When the Clinton-Gore team was elected for another term in office I thought, "Incredible...incredibly awful." Travelgate, Filegate, Chinagate, Monicagate, many Scandalgates flittered in and rushed out on the nightly news. IRS audits of conservative organizations, women (Paula Jones, Juanita Broaddrick, Linda Tripp, Kathleen Willey, and more) who told FEARful tales surrounding the Clintons, many men and organizations worried out loud about national security, and a darned lot of right-thinking Americans seemed to be worried and FEARful about the future of our country.
Well, after the Clinton-Gore team took office for another four years, I wondered about my involvement in chat rooms, web pages, etc. I wasn't unique. Many Americans felt the same way. What to do?
I started sending e-mail and snail mail letters to my elected officials. I created more web pages with very focussed messages. I wrote letters to the editors, letters to talk shows, and called in to radio and TV shows. My husband and I went to a rally and held up a FreeRepublic.com sign stating our beliefs regarding Bill Clinton. We overcame our FEAR so that we could actively participate in areas where we felt we could make a difference. We still believe that every vote counts; but we also believe that one must become involved at many levels in order to make a positive impact for the future of our family; the future of our country. Anyway, back to you. So, are you still afraid to get involved? Maybe you're pro-life, but too timid to talk about it? Maybe you're tired of the "alternative lifestyles" agenda being taught at your local public school. Are you afraid of speaking out at a PTA meeting to discuss your concerns? Are you a Christian who is absolutely tired of seeing all the lawsuits and activists attempting to remove The Ten Commandments plaques from the public schools? Are you a Pastor, Reverend, or Minister saddened by Christmas displays and The Cross being removed from public areas because someone might be offended? Friends, does your heart thump erratically and your palms get slick with sweat just contemplating getting involved in any of the issues I just mentioned?
FACE YOUR FEAR NOW. Quit thinking of how you feel. Think of the big picture. Think of the future facing your family, your community, your country, and your world. You can make a difference ---if you want to.

When a child can't talk it out, they will act it out.
If you recognise your child in any of these descriptions, both you and your child may benefit from extra support.
Early childhood is full of stressful events for children that we as adults can take in our stride. These could be birth or feeding difficulties, changing school or home, bereavement or loss of a friend or pet, medical interventions, birth of a sibling. They may have worries or feelings that they are unable to express. Instead they can appear sad, angry, fearful, withdrawn, disruptive, rebellious, inattentive or unable to cope.


My name is Adam Michael and if you are subscribed to my newsletters you will know I adore all the various Frankincense species in oil form. I have now teamed up with a Co-Operative in Somalia and I am buying the Frankincense Carteri (Boswelia.carteri) and Frankincense Sacra (Boswelia.sacra) essential oils they are responsible for producing. We are selling these oils in 5ml volumes upto 30ml volumes. I have decided to do a little write up about it and hope you find it useful.
Somaliland Co-Operative Project is aimed at making sure more money feeds into the hands of those involved in harvesting, cleaning and distilling Frankincense oil. There are 43 families involved in this co-operative which spreads across the Sannag region. Between them approx. 55% of Somaliland frankincense and 65% of the myrrh grows on their land.
The photo above is of my supplier (right) with his cousin on their way to Ciilaamo – a village synonymous with Frankincense in the whole of East Africa. Market traders in the Merkado incense market in Addis Ababa, (Ethiopia) sell to many Saudi merchants who specifically want Frankincense from this area as it's regarded as the best of the best and the only Frankincense good enough for the world's Coptic population. The main problem is not receiving a fair price due cartel like control certain wealthy individuals have on the domestic stage in Somaliland. With no visitors to the land that yields these gums and traders and co-operations not passing the main towns buyers tend to confine themselves in the big cities of Hargaisa 1000km to the west and Buroa 500km west of these regions. The national scene has been manipulated making land owners families compete with each other and thus pushing prices lower.
So by buying from Hermitage Oils you not only get a product of excellence but you also see more of the money that changes hands goes to the people of Somaliland and at the same time you also get a better price as less middle people are involved.
On the subject of Frankincense Sacra I want to state that regardless what anyone claims Sacra is not a unique plant species and should not really be sold as such. It is a truth which seems to be very well covered up, especially by various American resellers selling Boswellia sacra as Sacred or Holy Frankincense.
The fact is no morphological differences exist between Boswelia carteri and Boswelia sacra, they are from the same species. What actually separates these two supposed species apart from each other is nothing more than habitat and time of harvest. Boswelia carteri is harvested in the summer months of March to late June (xagaag), Boswelia sacra in the winter months of September to late November (jiilaal). Both my Somaliland carteri and sacra are harvested from trees grown in rocks and on cliff faces. The trees are left alone for a good eight to ten years before they start producing resin and are as organic as it gets. In some cases trees are left alone for a good 30 years and inherited by the future generation.
Chemically speaking the components of the two supposed species harvested are identical but due to weather conditions trees are exposed to which can vary from extreme heat to extreme winds and rain storms combined with the positioning the tree grows the percentages of the natural chemistry varies and subsequently differences are present in the fragrance and also in the colour of the resins. Generally winter harvests produce a dark resin (mohor madow sacra) and summer harvests a white coloured resin (mohor ade – ade means white). For me I would say sacra possesses a finer and more penetrative fresh lemon quality compared to carteri. Both oils contain high percentages of the prized octanol, incensol, and octyl acetate.
My Uncle's supplier in Somaliland sums it up perfectly – 'god made people into different colours and put them into different places and yet they are exactly the same and it's the same with tree'.
The resin flows from the tree when a tool called a 'mengaff' (very sharp at one end and blunt at the other end) is used to scrape about a five-inch section down the trunk of the tree. This hardens under the hot sun into amber or orange brown 'tears' between the sizes of a pea and an orange. The tree is marked and the harvester returns inside a fortnight to scrape the hardened resin from the tree. Resins which fall to the ground are collected on large palm leaves placed when first tapping the tree. The process repeats itself for about 3 months during harvesting. The frankincense tears are scraped off into a basket and transported by camel to the ports for world-wide shipment. Camels are still used for the logistics. The photo with the camel is my supplier's nephew bringing his camels to the watering hole after a midnight trek. The gums cannot be transported during the day due to heat and humidity which ruins the gums and pushes prices down. So the most utter care is taken to ensure the gums are sent to the middlemen in the best conditions, and camels are the best options available. The same watering holes are also used for human consumption.
No aromatic commodity has a more interesting history than Frankincense. The first ever Christmas Story suggests upon the birth of baby Jesus he was visited by three wise men who each gave him a gift of great meaning, as we all know the gifts where Frankincense, Myrrh and Gold.
Personally what fascinates me the most is as early as the seventh century (I think!) Frankincense was one of the most valuable and heavily traded commodities along the Silk Roads. The Silk Roads where a network of connected trade routes that spanned from Europe all the way to the Asian and African continents. Simply put this was World trade in earliest format and Frankincense is said to have had higher value than rare silks, human beings and Gold.
The name Frankincense is derived from the Old French meaning 'real incense'. 'Olibanum' another name for Frankincense is a corruption through the classical languages of the Arabic luban, which strictly means 'gum' but, in practice, is always applied to this commodity.
And that is it, so if you use Frankincense carteri or sacra please do consider Hermitage Oils.


Kris Roche, a musician based in Kyoto, Japan released a music video of the song "Be Love," showing a town in Kyoto. One of the challenges of making 360 videos is how to deal with the camera artistically? Do you hide it or include it anyway or what? Cleverly, the video uses Kris' guitar as a mounting platform for the camera (a Ricoh Theta S) with pretty good results. If you liked the video, you can check out Kris' website. You can also check the Youtube channel of the videographer, Alessandro de Bellegarde, who has several 360 videos uploaded.

Everett made it onto Jeopardy this week as an answer to a geographical question, which Pierce points out, means their marketing strategies for the City are working the way they should.
Mayor Cassie Franklin was introduced by Scott Bader, the Council President, and she took to recapping the first year she has been in office, since Mayor Ray Stephanson stepped down. Mayor Stephanson held the position for 14 years before Franklin, who is also the first female mayor of Everett, was elected.
Quality of life "begins with safety." She stressed that having a safe, walkable, liveable city is important. In 2018, there had been more than one safety initiative, including Lock It Everett, a Gang Response Unit with a dedicated officer is returning great results. Franklin cited a 40% reduction in gang related offenses in 2018.
In 2018, we broke ground on three different supportive housing structures, and expect 170 of said units by 2020.
In the Fire Department, the City conducted a nationwide search for a new fire chief, and wound up selecting one of our own, Dave DeMarco. The FD responded to nearly 23,000 calls in 2018, and gained 11 new fire fighters.
In 2019, the Everett Police Department will voluntarily enroll in the FBI Use of Force study. They're the first in the county to enlist.
From Boeing, 806 new planes rolled out of the factory, and this year marks the 50th anniversary of the Boeing 747.
The Port of Everett Projects include a South Terminal Modernization and the Riverside Business Park, which should bring 800 jobs to the area. Kimberly Clark is beginning a comprehensive clean up of their old site on the water front. And while the Metro Everett Plan is a boon to the downtown corridor, Central and SW Everett will still receive time and money for improvements as well.
Housing will continue to expand, with an eye towards market rate and affordable housing. In the next 16 years, 70,000 new residents are expected in Everett. Besides tackling the chokepoint of the Trestle, land use planning begins this year to prepare for the Link Light Rail. Everett will also have a total of 18 new electric buses by the end of 2020, saving 10,000 gallons of diesel emissions each year.
Everett High Schools have a 96% graduation rate. Nationally, the adjusted rate for high school completion is 84% (NCES, 2016). Everett Community College added afternoon and evening classes, to make working and learning more accessible for adults. It's estimated that by 2036, 650,000 tech or skilled trade positions will be available in the area, so it's important to plan for and meet that need.


Loggerhead Cay #362 is a 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom condo that can accommodate up to 6 guests. This unit has recent upgrades including new living and dining furnishings. Also included are 3 flat screen TV's, Wi-Fi, DVD/CD player, beach equipment and beach towels. Loggerhead Cay complex amenities include: a community heated pool, elevators, gas grills, shuffleboard, tennis court and direct beach access. This is a non-smoking property.
Wonderful condo and condo complex, beautifully decorated and very comfortable with everything we needed. Extremely clean. Love this place and Sanibel Island! The owner and property managers are extremely helpful and very nice people to work with. We would definitely be back year after year!
My family and I truly enjoyed staying at Loggerhead Cay 362. We were down there celebrating our 30th anniversary with our older was well furnished, included the extras like spices, the welcome kit, umbrellas, NICE beach towels, beach chairs... Lots of room for us. The owner had personally called me when I had questions and she was very helpful.Towels and bed linens provided were also nice quality. Everything is very clean. Thank you for sharing your condo with my family. It made our first stay at Sanibel Island very welcoming!
Beautiful condo, great place to stay.
This condo is beautiful, clean and had many items to make you feel right at home.
Sanibel Holiday was awesome in helping find a property that was the best fit for my family. LHC362 was very clean well equipped and spacious.
Our family stayed at Loggerhead Cay during our very first trip to the Sanibel/Captiva Islands and we couldn't have had a better time. The unit was clean, well kept and had everything we needed to have a great time at the beach and on the islands. I'd stay again in an instant.
It was a well equipped condo with beach supplies, easy walk to beach. Washer and dryer, well stocked kitchen. TVs in all the bedrooms and wifi available. Nice location close to bike to shops and restaurants. Overall a very fun and exciting to collects shells and see so many different types of wildlife not in our state.
Our family of five spent a week in this well-appointed two bedroom condo. The unit is well equipped for cooking, even with some olive oil and a few spices in the cupboard and plastic wrap and foil. Lots of cutting boards and pots and pans and fairly sharp knives. The beds were great and everything clean with lovely decor. We were delighted to have access to 6 big beach towels, coolers, beach chairs, umbrellas and toys. The washer and dryer were huge, making our few loads of laundry easy (they even provided laundry soap packets). Although we brought our own supplies, there were large containers of shampoo, conditioner and even aloe vera (which was used...) The elevator made getting suitcases upstairs easy. Pool was accessible with 8 am and 4 pm hour long adult lap swim. Staff enforced lap swim time, so no need to feel like you were imposing on families who didn't know the rules. Beach was convenient and provided lots of fun shelling and walking and kite flying. Security guards were very visible and the complex was quiet, despite being spring break. Easy access off and on the island as near the east side. Jerry's is only a few minutes away for groceries. Bike rentals nearby. Nice view of grounds and ocean in the distance. Lovely patio space with comfortable cushioned chairs. Plenty of space to spread out for reading,lounging and homework for kids. We hope to return!!
Beautiful and Comfortable stay at Loggerhead Cay.
Every one of our wants and needs was exceptionally provided at this condo unit in Loggerhead Cay. All the comforts of home with a beautiful view and great proximity to the Gulf/Ocean.
We had a wonderful time, our place was great, a couple minor things, we went to use the beach umbrella it was broke but to us that was not a major deal at all. Typically you have to bring your own anyways. They had dish soap laundry soap and much more... little things to help your stay easier to settle in and enjoy the wonderful beach.. definitely will be staying again.. thanks so much!!
It was excellent. The owners supply many extras: beach chairs, beach towels, games, DVD's, coolers. It made us feel right at home.
Great to have beach towels and chairs and extra supplies.
My family of 5 had a very good experience at Loggerhead Cay. We enjoyed our stay as well as the accommodations.

How Do We Invest
Money Personality
For a resolution that sticks, you need gratitude, not willpower.
This year, we're leaving willpower behind and embracing gratitude instead.
It's January 10, which means it's time for failed New Years' Resolution stats:
38.5% of US adults set New Year's resolutions every year
23% quit in the first week
36% make it past the first month
Just 9% of people successfully stick it out all year long
Okay, but why is it so damned difficult just to do the right thing?
It's not you, it's your brain.
Willpower is often seen as an important factor in achieving our goals and making positive changes in our lives. Just like we're supposed to know what to do with our money, we're also expected to be able to just do the damn thing. If we fail, it's because we didn't try hard enough.
Poppycock.
The truth is, relying on willpower alone is a recipe for burnout and disappointment. Gratitude, on the other hand, can be cultivated as a routine practice, so instead of denying yourself something you want, you learn to appreciate the benefits of the actions you're taking.
Willpower is a finite resource that can be easily depleted, and when you run out, it's almost impossible to find the motivation and determination to keep going. Gratitude, on the other hand, is a renewable resource that can be cultivated and nurtured over time.
Let's dig into the science.
Back in the 1970s, Nobel-prize winning behavioral economist Daniel Kahneman and his research partner Amos Tversky began studying human decision making. They pioneered the idea that the brain relies on two distinct decision-making processes aptly titled, "System 1" and "System 2"
System 1: Fast, automatic, and unconscious; responsible for our snap judgments and quick decisions.
System 2: Slower, more deliberate, and more logical; used for tasks that require more effort and attention.
Willpower is often seen as a function of System 2, because it requires conscious effort and self-control. This means that it requires us to actively think about our actions and make deliberate choices, rather than relying on automatic or unconscious processes. Willpower requires us to use a lot of mental energy and focus, and this can be exhausting.
Practicing gratitude, on the other hand, does not necessarily require a lot of conscious effort or self-control. It simply involves making time to reflect on the things we are grateful for and focusing on the positive aspects of our lives.
I recently gave up sugar for health reasons. Initially, I really struggled with this because as it turns out, sugar is in EVERYTHING. For the first week, the cravings were a nightmare. I tried stuffing my face with fruit and berries, but sometimes, I just HAD to have a bite (or bar) of chocolate.
But these lapses were setting me back. So, I had to change the way I dealt with the cravings. The invasive fungus in my gut thrives on sugar and my intense cravings were actually a sign that it was dying off. Instead of trying to fight the cravings with willpower, I started to think of them as small victories in the battle to heal my body. I stocked up on gut-approved snacks and now, everytime I reach for one, I remind myself how grateful I am to have a body that is able to heal itself.
But, how does gratitude work?
According to Dr. David DeSteno, a psychology professor at Northeastern University, expressing gratitude can hack into System 1's automated processing and increase self-control.
Expressing gratitude activates the brain's reward system, which can help to regulate emotions and behaviors. When we feel grateful, our brain releases the neurotransmitter dopamine, which is associated with feelings of pleasure and reward. The more we practice gratitude, the better we feel, and the more automatic the practice of gratitude becomes. This dopamine release cycle may help increase self-control by strengthening our ability to regulate our emotions and behaviors.
DeSteno also found that expressing gratitude can improve our physical health, relationships, and overall well-being. By cultivating a sense of gratitude, we can not only improve our self-control, but also enhance our overall quality of life.
That being said, it is important to recognize that both willpower and gratitude can be important for achieving our goals and leading a fulfilling life. Willpower can help us to overcome challenges and make progress towards our goals, while gratitude can help us to build resilience and a positive outlook.
What's key is finding the balance between the two and using them in ways that work best for you.
So, the next time you find yourself engaging in retail therapy after a long day, remember that your brain is just looking for a short-term, dopamine fix. Instead, try telling yourself that you're grateful for what you already have – and if you still really want to buy something, try buying more index funds with your Aura account instead. #ThisIsNotAdvice.

Explorations | Exploring Alaska's Seamounts | Logs

Port Call in Kodiak, Alaska
Catalina Martinez
NOAA Office of Ocean Exploration
The slow approach to the Port of Kodiak, Alaska, on July 3 was surreal. Seas were calm and glassy, skies were clear, and steep, green peaked cliffs came into view as we made our way towards Kodiak Island. We watched as a thin layer of fog moved its way through the snowy valleys of Barometer and Pyramid Mountains, knowing full-well that this spectacular weather was a rare gift in a region that is typically blanketed in fog. Puffins buzzed the bow of the ship, and as we neared the Port, we could see Bald Eagles circling overhead. The scene was picture perfect—a "Kodiak" moment, as it was referred to by Sue Doenges.
We arrived in the Port of Kodiak at about 10:00 am, and immediately began to set up for invitational tours of the R/V Atlantis and deep-sea submersible Alvin that were scheduled to begin at 11:00 am. Flags, banners and posters were hung around the labs and the deck of the ship, space was cleared around the live crab tank, and the Alvin was brought out onto the fantail. The tours included six school groups, various fishing industry groups, several departments from the University of Alaska, three US Coast Guard groups, the Kodiak Chamber of Commerce, several members of the Kodiak School Board, a group of children and employees from the Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge, the Kodiak Audubon Society, Kodiak NMFS, and various other groups from the community. We were even fortunate enough to have a large group tour the ship with the Kodiak City Mayor, Carolyn Floyd, as well as the Kodiak Island Borough Mayor, Gabrielle Ledoux.

The tours began with an animated introduction to the NOAA-sponsored cruise by Expedition Coordinator Catalina Martinez, and Sue Doenges, who is an educator from Illinois. Tour groups were led to the main science laboratory where visitors interacted with expedition scientists Tom Guilderson, Randy Keller, Amy Baco-Taylor, and Naomi Ward to discuss specific details of work that was done on the four seamounts explored on the first leg of the cruise. Graduate student Mike Rowe discussed seamount geology with the crowd, and also explained the complex variables associated with rock collection during the Alvin dives. Graduate students Brendan Roark and Julie Nielson assisted with tours, and also discussed their work. Coral and rock samples were on display, and a video ran continuously on monitors in the main lab showing best-of Alvin footage from the dives. This allowed visitors to experience the amazing world that exists on and around the seamounts in their Gulf waters.
Greg Morgan and Pete Risse from the Fishery Observer Training Program in Anchorage, were on hand to explain some of the weird and wonderful critters that appeared on the video monitors. Tours then went through the computer lab where WHOI Engineering Assistant Dave Simms discussed the technical capacity of the Atlantis with visitors. Seabeam map images of the seamounts were on display, and John Dyke, also of WHOI, was on hand to share technical information with the crowd. A few groups made their way to the bridge, where Captain George Silva explained the top lab, which is the point of communication and navigation for the Alvin. Captain Silva then discussed modern navigation as well as the details associated with launching and recovering the Alvin. From there, tour groups moved through the ship and onto the fantail where they visited the live crab tank to learn about deep-sea crabs from expedition scientists Tom Shirley and Brad Stevens, as well as graduate student Zac Hoyt. Last but certainly not least, all were able to learn about the Alvin submersible from Alvin pilots, Patrick Hickey and Bruce Strickrott. All in all, the day was a huge success, and approximately 200 members of the Kodiak community toured the ship.
A seafood reception, sponsored by the Kodiak Chamber of Commerce, was held at the Kodiak Fisheries Research Lab at the Near Island Facility for all on board the Atlantis after the tours were over. Many members of the community also attended, and tours of the research facility were provided. It was a festive gathering, as many community members in attendance had toured the ship during the course of the day.
As part of the annual Fourth of July celebration in Kodiak, fireworks were set off at midnight and many of the Atlantis crew and scientists watched the spectacle from the ship. This was a fitting grand finale to our highly eventful one-day port stop in Kodiak, Alaska.
Acknowledgments:
Tours of the R/V Atlantis were made possible by all of the hard work put into the event by the Atlantis crew, the Alvin crew, and the expedition scientists and graduate students who make up the amazing team on this exciting expedition. Thanks also to Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute for allowing us to share the excitement of deep-sea exploration with the Kodiak community.
Special thanks also go to Wayne Stevens, Director of the Kodiak Chamber of Commerce, for hosting the seafood reception for the expedition crew at the lovely Near Island Research Facility.

Story notes: The Gowanus Canal in Brooklyn is well known throughout New York City as a nearly two-mile-long trench filled with sewage and chemicals left behind by years of neglectful pollution.
Though the canal is slated for a multi-million dollar cleanup courtesy of the U.S Environmental Protection Agency Superfund Program, a team of local scientists, landscape architects, and community activists have discovered a very different kind of remediation effort underway in the sludge beneath the bottom of the Gowanus.
This podcast episode, produced by Philip Silva, catches up with members of the BK BioReactor project and their efforts to find out whether anything can live in the sort of toxic habitat provided by a place like the Gowanus Canal.
This phylogenetic tree illustrates the diversity of life found in the Gowanus Canal, a result of its parent microbiological makeup, the introduction of foreign materials through increased trade and shipping, and subsequent adaptations to the urban, industrial environment. Credit: BK BioReactor team (www.bkbioreactor.com).
Despite all the pollution, it turns out that the canal is teeming with microscopic life, and some kinds of bacteria are actually able to live on the waste that humans have left behind. Not just the sewage, either. Some bacteria seem to be able to feed off the industrial solvents and petrochemical products that line the bottom of the canal. As these microbes nosh their way through the potluck of pollutants on the E.P.A.'s list of hazardous substances, they break them down into safer compounds and elements, leaving the canal just a tiny bit less toxic over time—a long, long time.
BK BioReactor is a collaboration between Dr. Elizabeth Henaff, a researcher at Weill Cornell Medical College, Ian Quate, a designer at Nelson Byrd Woltz Landscape Architects, and Matthew Seibert, the Creative Director of Landscape Metrics. The project also draws support from GenSpace, a community biotechnology lab in Brooklyn, and the Gowanus Canal Conservancy, a group working to clean up the watershed that drains into the canal.


Kay and Jonathan got married in March at the lovely Black Swan Hotel, which is an old pub full of character in Helmsley, North Yorkshire. They chose The Black Swan, Helmsley because it's welcoming, cosy and a dog friendly venue! I love shooting The Black Swan, Helmsley weddings because the surroundings are so pretty! I loved being able to wander around the streets of Helmsley with Jonathan, Kay and their dog Zack - it's such a pretty Yorkshire village with plenty of great photo opportunities!
The wedding itself was an intimate affair in the beautiful ceremony room at The Black Swan, Helmsley. During the ceremony Jonathan & Kay's dog, Zack delivered the rings which was utterly adorable! Kay walked down the aisle to the theme song from Howl's Moving Castle which is one of my favourite Studio Ghibli films! It was a beautiful ceremony and very difficult to hold back the tears.
After the ceremony, we headed out to the pretty gardens at The Black Swan for a few family photographs. Afterwards, I took Jonathan & Kay around the village which was the perfect backdrop for some couple's portraits. Of course, Zack came along too and stole the show a little! We headed up to Helmsley Castle for a few photographs and Jonthan & Kay got plenty of compliments from passers by.
We returned just in time for a speeches and some lovely food before the evening celebrations began! Once it was dark, I snuck Jonathan & Kay out for a couple more night-time photographs which turned out beautifully.
Thanks again for letting me a part of your wonderful day Jonathan, Kay & Zack!
"Maddie is amazing, her quality and talent is breathtaking. We are in love with the images she has produced of our wedding day. We felt like we were film stars for the day and the images produced evoke an amazing story of the day. She truly has captured not just our emotions she also captured that of our guests and family...Maddie really took the time to get to know us. We had our dog as a main part of our wedding day and we wanted to maximise the images as he wasn't there all day. So we were whisked away for a shoot around the village this gave us some time alone as newlyweds and a real feel of the setting. What we didn't realise is the quality and scope she was able to create...We were given full details throughout the process and communication was second to none. We didn't want the typical style and needed a photographer with their own creative flair and this is what we found however I believe Maddie will be able to tackle any scenario.
You have surpassed our expectations and gone beyond, you truly helped make our wedding day extra special. We will cherish the images and be forever grateful to have met you.
Thanks very much to Maddie.

Emotional Self Regulation: Techniques for Teaching
CPI with Tauna Davis October 26, 2016
Image Credit: sturti
What is emotional self regulation?
Emotional self regulation is the ability to monitor and manage our own behavior. With self regulation, we can calm ourselves down when we're distressed, and pick ourselves up when we're low. Self-regulation is developmental in nature, just like learning to walk, talk, and read.
How do you teach a student who hasn't learned emotional self regulation?
Teaching academics is far from easy when a student hasn't learned how to manage stressors or emotions.
In this interview, I talk with occupational therapist Leah Kuypers about the program she created to teach kids self-regulation skills.
Download Full Transcript
Why Leah teaches self regulation strategies
When Leah started working with students in public schools, she felt driven to provide kids with more support. A trained occupational therapist, she had no shortage of skills to address students' sensory regulation challenges, but she felt something was missing when it came to addressing students' behavioral challenges.
Whether students were struggling with anxiety, ADHD, ASD, or another condition, they often couldn't focus on learning because they had little ability to manage their emotions.
"I was watching a student explode because they missed the first five minutes of math," Leah says, "and the teacher's looking at me like, 'Well now what do we do?' and I'm looking at the teacher thinking the same thing, and I realized that there were a lot of us looking at each other really unsure how to support these kids when they had these big emotional experiences that often manifested themselves with disruptive behavior."
What often resulted from these outbursts was not uncommon, but ultimately unproductive. Students were given negative consequences such as no recess or being removed from the classroom.
The expectation was that the students would learn a lesson.
But as many educators do, Leah saw time and time again that punishment does not often teach.
It usually just hurts.
It perpetuates.
And then crises repeat.
So Leah felt impassioned to help students develop more adaptive, prosocial behavior. Ideas started flowing as she began graduate classes and explored social learning, executive functioning, and emotional regulation in children.
As she began putting practices into place with students, her colleagues started getting excited by what they were seeing. Students were engaged in learning. Leah kept pursuing as much continuing ed as she could and applied what she learned to her caseload.
When she got her master's in education, her culminating capstone became The Zones of Regulation curriculum.
What many people don't know about self-regulation and emotional control
Just like learning to walk and learning to read, self-regulation is developmental in nature, Leah says.
"All too often, our approach for a child with lagging skills in self-regulation is a more disciplinary model—where we would never take that approach with a kid who has a motor impairment or a reading delay."
So to support a child who has self-regulation delays, we need to meet them with an empathetic mindset and skill-building so they can be more adaptive and functional.
The Zones of Regulation is a systematic framework that gives kids ways to categorize how they're feeling. The colors blue, green, yellow, and red represent four zones that students can identify with.
Blue zone
Sad, sick, tired, bored. "Down" emotions.
Neutral emotions, organized states. Calm, focused, happy, OK.
Yellow zone
Intensified emotions with cognitive control. Frustrated, silly, excited, wiggly, agitated, sensory overwhelmed, nervous, embarrassed.
Intense emotions that overwhelm. Panicked, enraged, elated, crying, screaming.
"We're taking a rather abstract—this emotional world we live in—[concept] and putting it into four categories or zones that allow students to cognitively be able to conceptualize easier, 'How am I feeling?'" Leah says.
"And once they get that general zone, they have a bank of emotions that fall into each of the four zones, so they're building that awareness of where they're at, we're giving them a very visual structure to use to support that, as well as a very easy way to communicate it—with the caregiver, with the teacher, which will assist in that co-regulation between student and caregiver."
And as students build awareness of their emotions, Leah's system gives them matching tools for each of the four-colored zones. Similar to CPI's Crisis Development ModelSM, which helps staff identify four behavior levels and corresponding responses, the Zones system helps students identify how they feel and what to do.
Teaching self-regulation in the classroom and beyond
The first step is teaching students that it's OK to feel the way they feel.
"It's natural to experience emotions," Leah says. "But we don't have to be at their mercy."
Leah advocates teaching students to read their bodies' signals, asking themselves:
What are the cues my body gives me?
Are my muscles tighter?
What's going through my mind?
Has my voice volume or rate of speech changed?
Once a student can identify physiological cues, they can start to identify their triggers, and apply tools for managing each zone.

Collaborating across disciplines
It's important for everyone to work together to teach self-regulation, Leah emphasizes. This includes all the key players in a student's life, including:
SLPs
Aides and paraprofessionals
"Working in collaboration," Leah explains, "It's profound for the student to be able to move between contexts and environments and amongst different people supporting them, and hear the same language, that the visuals are there, that the environment is embracing them and setting them up for success as they travel between the cafeteria and the classroom and their specialist and their resource rooms."
Blending the Zones with core curriculum
If you're a classroom teacher, you might wonder how to teach the Zones when you have so much else to focus on.
Formal instruction in the Zones can be pretty light, Leah indicates—and most importantly, it can be wrapped together with other academic lessons and other teaching tools.
Try formally teaching the Zones in a morning meeting or for 20 minutes every couple weeks. And build the framework into your daily classroom by:
Using visual supports
Weaving the terms into everyday conversation ("I'm feeling in the yellow zone.")
Modeling the language as the adult to set the tone ("Sometimes my teacher is tired in the blue zone or stressed in the yellow zone.")
Infusing the Zones into core curriculum classroom work. For instance, during read-aloud time, have kids identify what zone a character is in. What tools could help the character manage their zones?
Leah also has strategies for incorporating the Zones into science, math, writing, and other lessons for different age groups, in both regular and special ed.

With the O2 up-regulation module the microbioreactor continuously measures the oxygen level inside the chamber and automatically regulates the flow of oxygen into the chamber.
For fermentation with O2-enriched air, the BioLector system is equipped with a special O2 up-regulation module. It consists of an additional gas connection for oxygen on the back side of the BioLector, as well as an oxygen sensor inside the cultivation chamber.
The sensor continuously measures the oxygen level inside the chamber and automatically regulates the flow of oxygen into the chamber. In this way, an oxygen level between 21% and 35% can be generated in the chamber.
Independent of the additional module all standard features of the microbioreactor remain unchanged.
Up to three additional fluorescence modules can be added to the standard filters for biomass, pH, and DO. In total, six different modules fit into the system.

U.S. dairy demonstrates commitment to Southeast Asia with partnership
USDEC
Partnership with Food Innovation & Resource Centre in Singapore lays framework of opportunity.
The U.S. Dairy Export Council (USDEC) and the Food Innovation & Resource Centre (FIRC) at Singapore Polytechnic signed a partnership agreement in May that furthers the U.S. dairy industry's commitment to food innovation to meet the needs of Southeast Asian customers and consumers.
USDEC explained that Asia is currently an incredibly important region for U.S. dairy exports, containing seven of the top 10 U.S. export markets: China/Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea, Philippines, Indonesia, Vietnam and Malaysia. Five of these markets showed major increases in U.S. dairy export value between 2016 and 2017: China/Hong Kong (up 44%), Japan (up 41%), South Korea (up 21%), Philippines (up 8%) and Malaysia (up 3%).
The memorandum of understanding (MOU) lays out a framework under which USDEC and U.S. dairy suppliers will work together with FIRC to deepen dairy knowledge, develop innovative food products for the Southeast Asian market and provide consumers in the region with more options suited to their specific tastes.
"Singapore is a hotbed of food innovation and the gateway to Southeast Asia," USDEC president and chief executive officer Tom Vilsack said. "FIRC's team of food technologists, packaging specialists and engineers is at the forefront of establishing Singapore as a strategic food hub. We are very excited to be working with this innovative group and look forward to sharing U.S. dairy technology and expertise."
FIRC -- a joint venture between Singapore Polytechnic and Enterprise Singapore, a statutory board under the Ministry of Trade & Industry -- was formed in 2007 to provide food companies with technical expertise in new product and process development. It is part of the government's economic goal to establish Singapore as a global center for food and nutrition research and development (R&D). Since opening, a number of multinational food firms have created R&D centers in Singapore to support product development for future growth.
"One of FIRC's objectives is to leverage science and technology to develop food innovations and capture new markets," FIRC director Loong Mann Na said. "We expect the dairy knowledge and spirit of innovation brought by USDEC and its members will advance progress toward that goal."
U.S. dairy is not new to the region. USDEC has staffed an office in Southeast Asia since 1998, and currently, around two dozen USDEC member companies have personnel based in Singapore or Southeast Asia.
"This partnership allows U.S. dairy suppliers to be at the forefront of the product development process, become more customer-centric and enhance their level of service," said Martin Teo, technical director, food applications, with USDEC's Singapore office.
Teo will serve as the key contact between U.S. dairy suppliers and FIRC. When he joined USDEC in March of this year, he brought with him 25 years of experience in the Southeast Asian food industry. Like the MOU with FIRC, he is part of the broader U.S. plan to deepen the U.S. dairy industry's ties with Southeast Asia and meet the region's dairy needs.
USDEC's 2018 activities focus on demonstrating how the U.S. lineup of sustainably produced dairy protein, milk powder, specialty ingredients and cheese fit the taste preferences and nutritional requirements of the region. Those activities fall into two primary areas:
1. Health and wellness focused -- A permeate workshop at the FIRC facilities, a U.S. presence at Food Ingredients Vietnam, USDEC's U.S. Dairy Innovation Seminar in Vietnam, a technical training mission in the U.S. for Southeast Asian food R&D specialists (in coordination with the 2018 Institute of Food Technologist Expo), an ingredient innovation seminar in October and Food Ingredients Asia provide further opportunities for U.S. suppliers and Southeast Asian buyers to work together, build relationships and explore the benefits of U.S. dairy ingredients.
2. Culinary focused -- USDEC hosted cheese receptions, showcases and chef events as this year's official dairy partner for Singapore's World Gourmet Summit and at Food & Hotel Asia. A cheese innovation seminar is on tap for August. The series of events seeks to promote awareness and heritage in U.S. cheese and demonstrate how U.S. cheese varieties, quality, value and innovation can meet the needs of the Southeast Asian foodservice sector.

ORB has been tested with every major thread-based floating ball hook-up (Abbott's, Okito, Don Wayne, deMatos, d'Hotel) and is also provided with Thomas's top-secret hook up system designed for performers working large stages & arena's who want to send the ball floating higher and further than traditional hook-up systems allow. The strong ABS plastic ball is designed to survive the knocks-and-bumps of touring life, comes complete with charger (110-240v), remote control and a 200m spool of Thomas's special floating ball thread - HALF the diameter of every other "floating ball thread" on the market and absolutely perfect for creating spectacular ORB performances as well as all the clips, unique smooth-running eyelets and hardware you need to install this illusion in your show.
ORB comes complete with a flight-case to transport the entire rig and ensure this spectacular illusion is a practical and dependable addition to your show.


Hola! Después de toda una semana de estar enferma decidí hacer algo pequeño para hacerme sentir mejor. Sintiéndome mejor decidí pintarme las uñas esta semana. La verdad es que llevo mucho tiempo sin pintármelas ya que se me han estado rompiendo muy seguido y tuve que cortármelas chiquitas. Aunque todavía no están como quiero ya es un progreso.
Hi! After a whole week of being sick I have decided to do a little bit of pampering to make my self feel better. Since I have been feeling better I decided to paint my nails this week. The truth is that is been a long time since I've painted them because they have been really weak so I had to trimmed them short. Even though they are not where I want them to be it's a progress.
I'm glad that you're feeling better! There's nothing better to complete that than to pamper yourself. Love the nail color too!

In Titustown: Paul Street Gallery opens Julie Stanton Solo Exhibit.
June 22, 2019467Views
Tucked away in a corner of the city I very rarely venture out to is a fantastic little art oasis -- the Paul Street Gallery at Titustown Recreation Center. Today marks the opening reception of Julie Stanton's solo show, "The Pursuit of Presence," running through August 24th.
A self-taught, military retiree who has been painting now for the past four years, Stanton explained that it was a love of painting fostered in High School art classes that led to picking up a brush again in her recent life. In her Artist Statement, she proclaims, " I make art because I can't help it. I have always been in love with the feeling I get when have the opportunity to know another soul." While the show features some sculpture work, as well as still life studies of various animals -- where Stanton really shines is in her portraiture work, which blends expressionist elements with traditional techniques. Many of her paintings focus on subjects who appear to have survived great trauma in order to arrive to the moment of her capture. There is pain equally matched with dignity and fortitude in these faces, and Stanton communicates fire and blood with every brush stroke.
You can see more of this work, most of which is available for sale at very reasonable prices, at the Paul Street Gallery. The Galley is part of the greater Titustown Recreation Center, which also serves as a hub for art instruction with many available classes. The center is easily found at 7545 Diven Street. and is open Monday through Friday, 10am-4pm, and on Saturdays: 10am-1pm.

My work has essentially taken two forms: filmmaking and installation.
My films are short experimental works that mainly consider subjects such as structural form, post-structuralism, the home movie story, and the fairy tale. I have particularly considered the relationship between human beings and the notion of 'environment' (the spaces we occupy), and explored this interaction both over a given time frame and within a permanent space.
My installation work looks at the projection of film itself, questioning how a viewer perceives both looking at a projection and the subject matter itself.
More recent work has taken me into larger scale installation work, transforming an entire gallery space into a completely created environment(s), where those entering the space are encouraged to move and participate in a changed space.

JDC Expands Winter Relief for Ukrainian Jews
With an income of only $78 per month, it is a struggle for the Greenkevich family (pictured) in Kharkov, Ukraine, to support their children. Photo: James Nubile/JDC.
JNS.org – The American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee (JDC), which has been delivering heating fuel, bedding, and clothing to Jewish communities across the former Soviet Union as part of its annual Winter Relief program, is expanding its efforts in Ukraine in response to a harsh winter as well as the country's ongoing political and economic turmoil.
JDC said Dec. 8 that its staff is providing additional winter supplies from the 32 JDC-supported Hesed social welfare centers in Ukraine, allowing them to reach not only the elderly and the poor, but also displaced Jewish families and Holocaust survivors.
There are currently more than 5,000 JDC clients in eastern Ukraine, and more than 2,000 displaced Jews who need assistance in other parts of the country, the relief organization said. In addition, local currency has significantly devalued, resulting in a 50-80 percent increase in the cost of food and medicine. The Ukrainian government, meanwhile, has enacted energy-saving measures such as planned power outages that can adversely impact the poor and the elderly.
European Parliament Unveils its First Holocaust Memorial
JNS.org - The European Parliament building in Brussels now has its first-ever Holocaust memorial—a reproduction of Felix Nussbaum's 1939 oil...
"While winter relief is a lifeline for tens of thousands of Jews in need on any given year, its even more essential in Ukraine where utility prices have soared and the crisis has continued with no end in sight," Michal Frank, director of JDC's former Soviet Union department, said in a statement.
"We have proudly stood by the Jews of Ukraine during this period and, together with our invaluable partners, have redoubled our efforts to ensure this winter is imbued with the warmth of Jewish solidarity and mutual care," he added.

De La Hoya could be in Hatton's future
Ricky Hatton would love to fight Oscar De La Hoya in 2009.
November 30, 2008 - 10:00 pm
Floyd Mayweather Sr. isn't so sure that's a good idea.
Fresh off his demolition of Paulie Malignaggi last week with Mayweather in his corner as lead trainer, Hatton said he's intrigued with the idea of facing the Golden Boy, who will meet Manny Pacquiao on Saturday at the MGM Grand Garden.
The problem is Hatton would have to move up to 147 pounds to fight De La Hoya, and that's not something Hatton wants to do. The other time he fought at 147, he was knocked out by Floyd Mayweather Jr. in what was a one-sided fight.
Hatton has said he wants to stay at junior welterweight. The idea that De La Hoya would come down to 140 pounds is unlikely.
"I've said I'd never fight at 147 pounds again," he said. "But with Oscar, maybe."
Mayweather is not in favor of a Hatton-De La Hoya fight. Especially at 147.
"Would I like to see Ricky fight Oscar? Not really," he said. "But if it happens, it happens."
Mayweather would rather see Hatton fight Pacquiao.
"If we can do Pacquiao at 140, fine," he said.
Whoever Hatton fights next, Mayweather plans to be in Hatton's corner.
"He did some things good in the fight but there's some things he didn't do enough of," said Mayweather, who trained Hatton for seven weeks leading up to the Malignaggi fight. "There's some things he can brush up on. But Ricky's a good student. He wants to learn. He wants to get better.
"Whoever he fights, with me, he'd do good, really good."
* GIBSON FUNERAL — A memorial service for Toby Gibson is scheduled for 6 p.m. Monday at Palm Mortuary, 7600 S Eastern Ave. Gibson, a referee in Nevada for 25 years, died Monday at his Las Vegas home. He was 61.
The service is open to the public.
Gibson is survived by his wife Barbara, a sister, Becky Gibson of Vienna, Ohio, and three children, Erica of Las Vegas, Chris of Vienna, Ohio, and Doug of Indianapolis.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in Gibson's name to the International Boxing Hall of Fame, 1 Hall of Fame Drive, Canastota, N.Y, 13032.
* MARGARITO-MOSLEY — It appears Andre Berto is out and Antonio Margarito is in for a Jan. 24 welterweight fight at Mandalay Bay with Shane Mosley.
Margarito was holding out for more money and it appears Top Rank is willing to pay him $2.5 million after Margarito reportedly turned down $2 million. He hasn't fought since his TKO win over Miguel Cotto July 26 at the MGM Grand.
Mosley will have a different trainer in his corner as he and his father, Jack, have once again split up. No word as to who would train Mosley for Margarito.
An official announcement is expected Saturday morning at the MGM Grand prior to the De La Hoya-Pacquiao fight.
* STAPLES STATUE — Prior to his departure for Las Vegas for Saturday's fight, De La Hoya will be honored Monday with the unveiling of a 14-foot bronze statue of his likeness that will reside outside the Staples Center in Los Angeles.
De La Hoya joins sports stars Magic Johnson and Wayne Gretzky who have been similarly honored.
Contact reporter Steve Carp at scarp@reviewjournal.com or 702-387-2913.

Craig Roberts:
"The town that I'm from in Wales is nihilistic. There's not a whole lot going on. It's a very beautiful place, but there's nothing for kids to do. Cinema definitely for me when I was younger, it was escapism, complete escapism. I remember watching King of Comedy, that's one of my favorite films. I love that movie so much. There was one cinema in Nantgarw called Showcase Cinema that I loved. There was a bowling place next to it. It's still there now. It's just like an old '80s John Hughes kind of cinema, very stuck in its ways but it's kind of cool. I used to go there with my friends... My first date was there!"

Futurologist goes way out on a limb
July 17, 2006 Rex Hammock
Futurologist goes way out on a limb: This just in: "Publishers must embrace digital age: "A futurologist has warned the magazine industry that it needs to personalise content, embrace technology and tackle competition from non-traditional publishers to survive in the digital world."
(Note, I work with a noted futurologist who has been making such wildly outrageous predictions [i.e., 'computers will play a more-and-more important role in our lives in the future'] for years.)

Note to Publishers: Marketting and sales has found this thing called the Internets last night. You can read whatever you want, whenever you want. In lieu, we're offering early retirement to anyone who wants out before we suit up to bleed ourselves to the penny fighting change.
Today's headline: "NYT to cut paper size and close plant" – excerpt: "The Times will join a list of several other papers from The Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times that have reduced their size as they cut newsprint and other production costs and try to stem a loss of readers and advertising to the Internet and other media."
