Organizing a family adventure doesn't have to entail airline tickets, or even much advance planning. One or two days off and a few hours in your car are all you need to reach a destination with enough bells and whistles to make your kids feel like they're exploring new turf. Even better, these locales won't leave parents feeling like they're getting the short end of the stick. Check out this list of mini-vacations, where every member of your brood can find their happy place.
The Shenandoah Valley is full of family activities, from exploring Luray Caverns to picnicking at nearby orchards. Photograph by Pierre Leclerc/Getty Images.
Exploring Luray Caverns, with its mudflows, towering stone columns, and crystal formations.
Hiking and biking Shenandoah State Park is easily a family affair, and so is picking fruit at one of the nearby orchards, such as Hartland or Marker-Miller, which are loaded with apples, peaches, and honey.
If a hot-air balloon ride is on your bucket list, several Blue Ridge outfitters can help you cross it off.
Bring a picnic packed by the gourmands at L'Auberge Provençale, which is also a lovely choice for spending the night, complete with fireplaces, soaking tubs, and a fine restaurant. History buffs should make a stop at Long Branch and Belle Grove plantations.
Trick-or-treating in a real-life candy land is now an option. Families can trick-or-treat for goodies and ride roller coasters in the dark at Hershey Park.
Trick-or-treating in the Sweetest Place on Earth. During the last three weekends in October, visitors under 12 can trick-or-treat for goodies in the park, and kids of all ages can ride roller coasters like the Lightning Racer in complete darkness for a frightfully fun thrill.
Make sure to pack a flashlight to spy on the nighttime habits of over 200 North American animals—including creepy bats and snakes, which kids can touch during nightly reptile shows.
A deliciously decadent spa beckons at Hershey. Classic favorites include the Whipped Cocoa Bath [$50], which uses a sea of foaming chocolate milk to soften skin, followed by the Cocoa Massage [$135], administered with chocolate-scented oil. A seasonal bonus for fall visitors: pumpkin- and wine-themed treatments.
Take advantage of Hotel Hershey's babysitting services and enjoy dinner at Devon Seafood Grill in the Hershey Press Building. The upscale eatery offers top-notch seafood and steaks, plus an extensive variety of cocktails. The eye candy of beautiful Pennsylvania fall foliage is a perk on the drive home.

The over-the-top-as-it-gets Eloise experience at the Plaza Hotel, which includes an "Eloise Ambassador" and the Betsey Johnson-designed pink-and-black Eloise suite on the 18th floor of one the city's most famous hotel. It's the bedroom your little princess has always wanted: candy-striped wall panels, zebra-print carpet, and a king-size bed with sparkly, padded pink headboard—just the thing to lull her to sleep after a day shopping at the Eloise store and sipping tea at the famed Palm Court.
This kind of extravagance doesn't come cheap (rates start at $1,295 and include other complimentary perks such as a shopping gift card, framed photo, and bathrobe), but don't fret: A more affordable option is available close by at Midtown's Affinia 50 hotel. The American Girl package, named for the store that's just a couple of blocks away, includes a gift bag with a doll-size travel bed, pillow, and blanket, a turndown sweet treat, personal shopper, and AG movies in the Club Room (all for around $400 a night for weekends in November). They can also provide family-friendly extras such as cupcakes, snacks, rubber duckies, and board games.
You're in Midtown Manhattan! Stroll through the Museum of Modern Art; take in the best panoramic view of the city from the top of Rockefeller Center, which opens for ice-skating around mid-October; shop at Bergdorf Goodman; or stop by the Grand Central Terminal holiday fair at Vanderbilt Hall (late November through December) to pick up unique gifts or decorations.
Head to Bauman Rare Books with its two levels of beautiful, leather-bound books, many of them first editions. For that someone special on your holiday list who has absolutely everything, check out The Catcher in the Rye, inscribed by JD Salinger, for $85,000.
Frostburg, Maryland is a winter wonderland for a December family getaway at the Savage River Lodge. Photograph by Blend Images/Alamy.
Thirteen miles of cross-country skiing in the wilds of Maryland, without the ski crowds at the more popular resorts. The remote location (surrounded by 700 acres of forest) makes it perfect for stargazing—make sure to check out the Frostburg State University planetarium nearby. Try activities like snow-shoeing or geocaching, which is like a modern-day GPS treasure hunt, or warm up around a bonfire.
The lodge's restaurant—full of locally sourced, vegan and vegetarian options—also boasts an enviable wine list.
Venture out for a cheese-tasting at Firefly Creamery; the shop's location in charming Accident, Maryland, is a must-see. Local art galleries are worth a visit too; stop in at Saville and C. William Gilchrist in Cumberland.
Skiing, tubing, snowboarding—you name it, Nemacolin Woodlands Resort most likely has it when it comes to winter sports and activities.
Endless winter sports activities, like skiing Mystic Mountain, snowboarding, and tubing. When they don't feel like venturing out, there's a bowling alley and arcade on-site, indoor pools, and a full gymnastics hall to burn off any extra energy.
Too tired to move? That's what the Kidz Spa is all about, catering to ages 5 to 15 with manis, pedis, and more. Your furry family members will be happy to tag along, too, thanks to Nemacolin's Pet Proud program.
Stay at the Falling Rock area of the resort to make use of butler service that includes unpacking and packing luggage, and milk-and-cookie turndown each evening.
Little Tykes, Kid's Night Out, and Kidz Club programs accept children as young as six weeks for daytime and parent-night-out activities, leaving you free to hit the casino for date night until 10PM.
Don't miss the new Holistic Healing Center, which features customized therapies including acupuncture and traditional Chinese cupping massage.
What better place to share a donut than the "City of Brotherly Love?" Photograph by Michael Persico.
The Please Touch Museum, hands-down one of the top interactive museums in the country. Between the theater, puppets, storytime, music, dance, and a carousel—you may consider moving to Philly just to bring your kids here more often.
The Franklin Institute Science Museum packs in more fascinating experiments and head-scratching "did you knows?" than a school curriculum, and makes learning fun in the process. Grab a bite at Federal Donuts, the crazy-popular restaurant that serves mind-blowingly yummy doughnuts and fried chicken.
Anything and everything at the Hotel Monaco. From the Japanese soaking tubs to the daily hosted wine hour (5 to 6) to in-room organic massages and yoga mats on request, this place knows how to make run-down mamas feel like new.
The Philadelphia Museum of Art is always worth a visit. And be sure to take time to explore Philly's booming food scene: Don't miss modern Israeli and Middle Eastern treats at Zahav and tapas at Amada.
Right outside of Philly an oasis awaits in Bedford Springs with a picturesque golf course and hotel Omni's Springs Eternal Spa.
Off-roading (with Mom or Dad at the wheel, of course) through rugged terrain with stops at Red Oak Lake and Black Spring, then taking tea by the fire from 4 to 5 every afternoon in the grand lobby. There are plenty of great paths for hiking, but they're even more fun as part of a guided Segway tour. The 90-minute off-road trek for guests 100 pounds and over takes you all around the property. Another unusual treat is the heated spring-fed indoor pool—one of the first in the country, built in 1905—open year-round.
A golfer's delight, the resort boasts one of the country's first golf courses, with views overlooking the Allegheny Mountains. The covered-bridge tours are dreamy—reminiscent of The Bridges of Madison County, but a whole lot closer than Iowa. Fourteen of these handcrafted beauties exist in the area, and the tour takes in the historic town of Bedford, too.
When it's time to unwind, try a yoga class or Bedford Baths, part of the mineral-spring offerings at the hotel's 30,000-square-foot Springs Eternal Spa.
There's way more to Williamsburg than it's history. There's Great Wolf Lodge for the kids and intense shopping and winery-hopping for you.
Great Wolf Lodge, a 405-room resort attached to an indoor water park that's exclusively for guests, with pools, slides, and water towers for every age (and the advantage of being weather-proof).
Save time for Waller Mill Park, which features over 2,700 acres of playgrounds, bike and hiking trails, and a lake for fishing, kayaking, canoeing, and pedal boating (rentals are available).
Shopping and wine? Yes, please.
Hit the Premium Outlets for some fabulous steals at Burberry and the North Face, to name a couple, then browse collectibles and furniture at the Williamsburg Antique Mall.
Don't miss the Williamsburg Winery and foodie favorite Café Provencal, which is poolside at the winery's charming Wedmore Place hotel, a spot to remember for your next romantic retreat, sans kids.
There's a stretch of Richmond called Carytown that is the ultimate destination for foodies and shoppers. Photograph by Jeff Breenberg 3 of 6/Alamy.
World of Mirth, a funky toy store that's like a Dr. Suess book come to life.
The Children's Museum of Virginia is full of hands-on sensory activities—water, sand, music, art supplies—for toddlers to big kids, while the Science Museum offers dome-screen movies and cool exhibits, from rats playing basketball to rocket ships.
Of course, there is that little matter of Kings Dominion, which no adrenaline junkie should miss.
To keep energy levels high, stop by Dixie Donuts for an apple fritter or a doughnut with vanilla cake inside, or cool off at Bev's Homemade Ice Cream, a local fave with homemade flavors like peanut butter and jelly.
In a word: Carytown. The "mile of style" is lined with eclectic, locally owned boutiques and eateries, and is full of the type of little hipster gems that explain why Richmond is having a chic moment. Eurotrash carries fresh British designers like Yumi & Uttam and Ted Baker, while Clementine offers high-end, like-new consignment (think Tory Burch and Lilly Pulitzer), with sister stores Ashby and Clover catering to your fashionistas-in-training.
Can Can Brasserie is a find for brunch, with zucchini-bread pancakes, as well as mussels. Stop by Cary Street Café for live music every afternoon, and order a picnic to eat in the park.
Cheat River, West Virginia is a place where you and your adventurous family can go river-rafting and rock climbing during the day and then enjoy the comforts of the Waterfront Place Hotel for a good night's rest. Photograph by Jason Lindsey/Alamy.
Whitewater rafting! Before you veto the notion, think of this as the Disney version of the sometimes-harrowing experience. Cheat River Outfitters offers special rafting excursions for kids as young as six, plus paintball, rock climbing, and a perfect rainy-day activity: caving, in which guides take visitors through undeveloped passages, sometimes on hands and knees.
If you're the type who believes that nature has its limits, you'll enjoy getting cleaned up, warm, and dry at the Waterfront Place Hotel, a far cry from the rustic cabins you usually find at outdoor-adventure destinations (and a bargain at under $200 a night). Sign up for the culinary package, which includes a three-hour cooking class for two and Champagne, cake, and chocolate-covered strawberries delivered to your room.
This is no Miami Beach, parents. Rehoboth Beach has miles of family-friendly sand, surf and boardwalks that cater to the kids. Photograph by Scott Dunn/Getty Images.
Miles and miles of family-friendly beach and a boardwalk that caters to the younger set. Fourth of July features a quaint parade at nearby Bethany Beach and fireworks over the water. Funland Amusement Park is a favorite, especially on rainy days, as is Midway Speedway Park, which features bumper cars, go-carts, and miniature golf. Just down the road at Cape Henlopen State Park in Lewes, there's plenty of kayaking, upright paddle-boarding, and pier fishing.
A stay at the Bellmoor Inn & Spa (try the signature facial) or Hotel Rehoboth (you'll love the wine-and-cheese hour) is the antidote to generic beach-town hotels or houses that rent only by the week.
Make the short trip to Lewes for dinner at Agave, but go early—there are no reservations and lines can wind all the way around the building. The margaritas are lethal, and the Mexican food is so sublime, you'll think you ended up on the beach in Cali instead of Delaware.
Salamander Resort & Spa, just a short walk to Washington Street, where you can shop antiques and dine at the Red Fox Inn. Photograph by Jim Hanna.
Treetop zip-lining and guided hikes where they get to make casts of any critter tracks they find, CSI-style. Once it's dark, they'll get to throw night-vision goggles into the mix.
Other daily activities at the new 340-acre retreat include T-shirt tie-dyes, bocce ball, croquet, ice-cream socials, corn hole—you name it.
Teens and tweens can enjoy cooking classes created just for them, and everyone in the family will love roasting s'mores in the resort's spectacular fire pits.
As if feeling like you're a million miles away isn't perk enough, the resort's spa will make you forget that you go back to work on Monday.
Sunrise Yoga in the Stables is a must (how often do you get to greet the dawn in horse country while doing yoga?). Book any spa treatment just to get some QT in the stunning infinity pool.
Make sure to enjoy your own horseback riding lesson at the equestrian center, or muster the entire family for a horse-drawn carriage ride.
The resort features a trail that leads into Washington Street in Middleburg, where you can window-shop for antiques or feel like a true Southern belle while munching on shrimp and grits at the historic Red Fox Inn, built in 1728.

Conversations With A Deceased Classmate
By shamby
(15 stories) (100 posts) (the author is a young adult)
Paranormal Category: Family / Friends Visits

October 2011
This is an update on Dylan (D) dreams, again.
At this point (Fall 2011) he had now been dead for more than a year and it has been more than 5 months since I'd had a dream about Dylan. I now feel comfortable using his first name online as a few people in my hometown now know about the dreams and if more find out, its not as fresh. A guy from my graduating class and I had been getting really close and becoming really great friends. Over fall break I was sitting with him at his work. His job was the night shift at the lake, taking people out to their boats and this time of year he mostly sat in the cabin alone because most people are finished boating for the season.
Anyway, the conversation turned to the paranormal and he had very many of his own experiences. I don't want to share his story, because it isn't mine and I don't believe its my place to tell. However, we talked about our deceased classmate, Dylan. The one that had visited me in my dreams. My friend, started talking about Dylan's girlfriend, Sara. Shortly after Dylan died she had dreams about him, very similar to the ones I did. In fact, they had one detail that I hadn't shared with anyone. My friend told me that when Dylan would come to Sara, he had first started wearing dark colors but towards the end, he was wearing bright, extremely vibrant colors. This is something I hadn't shared with anyone (even you guys! Sorry!) but other people knew... It was really strange. And my friend's face when I told him was a mixture of fear and sadness. But more things had happened to Sara, he would change the ringtones on her phone or flip the radio station in her car to match the ringtone. It made me feel better knowing he went to her before me.
July 2012 Latest Dream of Dylan
This has been my most recent dream
I've now had to stop referring to my dreams about Dylan as "last" because each time I think its the last one, he comes back another time. This time it was kind of important. Again, I realize that this site is not about dream interpretation and I do not believe that these are just dreams and considering the fact that Dylan warned me before my grandmother died and another person (his girlfriend of 2 years) has had similar dreams, I am firm in my stance that these are real paranormal experiences. Add that to the fact I usually get sleep paralysis from these dreams.
Anyway, I was staying over at my current boyfriend's house. His name is Zach. We went to sleep pretty late that night but nothing out of the ordinary had happened. His house has some interesting things happen in it as well but nothing happened that night. In this dream I was standing in the funeral home where Dylan, Ray (the other guy that was killed in the crash) and my step-grandma's (the one whose death Dylan warned me about) funerals were all held. It's the only one in my small town. Keep in mind I didn't get to attend Dylan and Ray's funerals. But in the dream, I was standing next to Dylan's casket, and he was standing next to me. He was wearing a black suit (I have no idea what he was actually buried in) and he turned to me as we were standing next to the casket and said "I miss Earth. I miss it very much. Thats why I wanted a second viewing." He continued talking but the only word I kept hearing him repeat was Earth.
Then people from our class came in and stood next to the casket, which Dylan was clearly in and were all crying. But Dylan was standing next to me as well, I'm assuming the one standing next to me was his ghost as no one else, except a friend of mine, Nicki, saw him. (She has prophetic dreams which is why I think she was present in this one.) The significant thing was that the driver of the car Dustin, was there. He's been in jail since the accident.
I woke up, drove to work and nothing else out of the ordinary happened. I mean its become normal to have these dreams, as normal as dreaming about a dead person can be, right? Once I got to work I saw on Facebook that the driver of the car had been released from jail. I literally almost broke down, again, something I knew before I knew.

Like I said before, I wasn't close with Dylan and our families were friends when we were very young. I know that most of Dustin and Dylan's mutual friends are very forgiving and do a lot of things with Dustin now that he's out of jail. As for the family... I don't know. I know Dylan's father has struggled with this. Even though its a small town, people are hush hush about personal things... If I knew, I'd be more than willing to share. However, I do not know how Dustin feels and if he's changed any of his old ways.
Shamby,
I agree with you on that. Many of my paranormal experiences have started with a loved one getting in contact with me though the dreams and most of the time it's though my maternal grandmother. Like Miracles said, I guess it is easier when we are not to busy with our everyday life but also easier on us mentally because we won't be to scary to really read into the message. Dylan was just letting you know that Dustin was out of jail.
Just out of curiosity, I know you mentioned in your initial story about Dylan, you said that you weren't close with all three of the guys but I do have to ask. Since the accident, have you and / or the people who are consider family and friends of Dylan and Ray forgiven Dustin and does he feel remorse for his actions. If it's too personal, you don't have to answer. The reason why I asked is because to me, I know my grandmother has moved on but comes back to guide me ways words can't express. But could those feelings of anger and regret and not being able to forgive be actually holding Dylan back? I also asking this based on the fact that in your dream, Dylan mentioned that he missed being on earth.
I do think Dylan was telling me about Dustin's release. But I think he's sort of become a warning sign for me as opposed to being really stuck here... He isn't in my dreams nightly... Believe me I have plenty worse ones.
shamby - maybe Dylan was trying to prepare you for finding out Dustin was released from jail by showing you in your dream.
I believe we can receive messages in our dreams and sometimes that's the easiest place to reach us, when we aren't so busy with life.
Thanks for sharing this with us 😊

its really sad actually, I know a little about dreams and visions... Dying in a dream represents a new life, and because he keeps himself on earth he refuses to move on. People getting dreams like this, it isn't normal, there is a reason behind this.
I'll look more into your other dreams and maybe I can figure out what's really going on.
But just tell him whenever you get the chance that living a life where you only view other but that your not part of will only bring sadness, suffering and confusion. Everybody want's him to be at peace, its part of life to move on (even after death), everyone will eventually die. Death happens, its part of life, so he should just rest and wait until everyone reconciles

Interesting thoughts. I wonder if it's fair to also say that a blog is potentially a conversation starter, it isn't a closed off publication as it invites comments. So if someone disputes an idea or requests a source they can respond.
Richard, that's true, in books (and articles and presentations) I'm more likely to use citations, more informally doesn't seem as necessary.

Alleged Groper Sues Tulsa Good Samaritan Who Defended Woman's Honor
Friday, December 12th 2014, 5:54 pm
A man charged with groping a woman at Tulsa's Professional Bull Riders event, is now suing the man who came to the woman's defense.
Melissa Smith said she was grateful when a Good Samaritan defended her honor by confronting the man who grabbed her rear-end. She is shocked the stranger's actions now have him facing a lawsuit.
Smith was working the PBR event at the BOK Center in September when she says a man grabbed her backside in a way there was no mistaking his intent.
Police say the incident was caught on surveillance video.
9/16/2014 Related Story: Good Samaritan Comes To Defense Of Tulsa Woman Groped At PBR
Smith said she was upset and felt violated, and that's when a total stranger, Shane Vernon, approached her and asked her if she knew the man who'd groped her. She told him she did not.
Vernon told us he followed the man to his seats and confronted him, yelling at him that what he did was wrong.
In September, Vernon told News On 6: "I grabbed his cigars and threw them into the arena, and I was still amped up, so I grabbed his cowboy hat and threw that into the arena," he said.
Prosecutors charged Leonel Olivarez with felony sexual battery, then Olivarez turned around and sued Vernon for assault and battery.
The lawsuit claims Vernon grabbed Olivarez's shoulder in an aggressive manner suggesting an imminent physical attack that was unjustified and designed to embarrass and humiliate Olivarez.
It also says the allegation of Olivarez grabbing a woman was not true.
However, an affidavit says Olivarez admitted to police he grabbed Smith's behind and even demonstrated how he did it.
Police said Olivarez even wrote the victim a letter of apology.
Olivarez' attorney said his client has no prior record and is defending himself from serious charges, that if convicted, could mean up to 10 years in prison and having to register as a sex offender.
The attorney said Olivarez is the victim of an assault and battery by the alleged Good Samaritan. He says they do not believe the original news story was fair, but can't say anything additional now because they want the case tried in court, not in the media.
He said Olivarez is not a bad guy and there is another side to this story.
Vernon didn't want to comment since he now has to hire an attorney to defend himself against the lawsuit.
Smith said she doesn't think good people should be sued for doing what's right.

A Coventry schoolboy caught Jose Mourinho's Community Shield runners-up medal when he threw it into the Wembley crowd.
Young Arsenal fan Bobby Gill, aged 10, called it his "bestest memory ever".
He said the Chelsea boss threw his medal box up at him after losing 1-0 at Wembley on Sunday.
Describing the moment he caught the silverware, the 10-year-old from Cheylesmore who dreams of becoming a footballer, said: "Mourinho was walking down to the tunnel, I threw my tissue down by accident and then he threw the medal box up at me, then I caught it.
"I just couldn't believe it. I knew that he was giving it to me because he didn't want a loser's medal.
"He just wants to win, it was obvious he felt he didn't want it any more. I thought it was quite a good thing what he did.
The Portuguese coach did not shake hands with counterpart Arsene Wenger after Arsenal collected their medals.
The defeat signalled his first failure against Wenger in 14 meetings.
"It's the medal for the loser, it's a good memory for him," the 52-year-old said of his decision to throw the medal 12 rows up into the stands on Sunday.
"Chelsea was the best team, had the more initiative, had good control, good ball possession.
The moment the Special One made it a special day for Bobby was caught on TV.
Bobby's dad Shear, 44, was filming players celebrating their victory on the podium when Mourinho gifted the medal to his son.
"This was an awesome experience he's never going to forget," said life-long Gunner, Shear.
"That's not something he is going to give again in a hurry.
"The medal's at home safely tucked away in a cupboard and displayed there quite prominently.

In 2005 he was awarded the Honors of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association and the Journal of Speech, Language and Hearing Research Editor's Award.
He is the recipient of several federally funded research grants for investigating stuttering treatment and the neurology of stuttering.
In collaboration with Drs. Peter Fox at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio and Janis Costello Ingham, he developed a program of research on developmental stuttering using brain imaging techniques including PET, event-related fMRI, MEG and transcranial magnetic stimulation.
Currently he is the PI for an NIH grant investigating the interaction between neural systems change and stuttering therapy. He is also collaborating with Dr. Scott Grafton at UC Santa Barbara with continuing projects associated with that grant.

Honoring Coach Gilburg
The sporting world has applied many titles to Tom Gilburg throughout his long and successful career: All-Star, All-American, National Football League draftee and player, Head Coach, Hall of Famer.
Franklin & Marshall College will soon apply Gilburg's name to the centerpiece of its new multipurpose stadium. Pending successful completion of fundraising for a new A-Turf playing surface, the College plans to name the field for its former head football coach, whose 160 career victories over 28 seasons remain tops in the program's storied history.
An offensive and defensive standout for the 1959 national football champion Syracuse University Orangemen, Gilburg was a first-team All-America selection in 1960 and played five years with the NFL's Baltimore Colts as an offensive tackle and punter, including in the 1964 NFL championship game against the Cleveland Browns.
Also a four-year lacrosse star at Syracuse, Gilburg began his career at F&M during the NFL "offseason" of 1964, coaching men's lacrosse. He took over Diplomats football in 1974, compiling a 7-2 record in his first season, and remained at the helm until his retirement in 2002.
His teams won the 1976 Middle Atlantic Conference (MAC) Southern Division title, two of four Eastern Collegiate Athletic Association (ECAC) bowl games and five Centennial Conference (CC) championships following the conference's creation in 1983.
During the second week of the 1989 season, the Diplomats rallied from a 14-0 deficit in the final 12 minutes to capture a 15-14 victory at Ursinus on their way to a 10-1 season,
still the most single-season wins in F&M football history. The victory also marked the 100th of Gilburg's football coaching career, coming in just 134 games.
Under his tutelage, eight Diplomats became first-team All-Americans. Eleven more were named the conference's most valuable player, and six earned Academic All-America honors. Remembered among his players for his frequent exhortation toward that extra measure of effort, "It's time to put the hay in the barn, boys," Gilburg was inducted into the F&M Athletic Hall of Fame in 2003, the Pennsylvania Sports Hall of Fame in 2005 and the MAC Hall of Fame in 2014.
"Coach Gilburg was a great coach and
mentor. He instilled a sense of tradition
and family for F&M football that is as strong today as it was when we wore the pads," said Matt DesChamps '93, who captained the Diplomats' 1992 team. "And like everyone at F&M, he demanded—and inspired—our best. Coach was the personification of our motto: 'Well done is better than well said.' This field will be a fitting tribute to Coach and all he and F&M football stand for, and I know it will inspire the best in Diplomat athletes for years to come."

Just hours ahead of the prime minister's keynote speech to the Tory party conference, official figures revised UK growth down from 0.2% to 0.1% between April and June.
Household consumption fell by 0.8% during the same period, according to the Office of National Statistics (ONS).
There was better news from a Markit/PMI survey, which suggested the UK's service sector increased from 51.1 to 52.9 in September.
"While the UK cannot insulate itself from what is happening to our major trading partners, with financial turbulence in the eurozone and a weaker outlook for global growth, the economy is still growing and this week's survey data for the manufacturing and service sectors are consistent with continued expansion," a Treasury spokesperson said.
The constant revising downwards of UK growth, particularly from its improving situation when the coalition came to power, has led to frantic calls for the country to water down its austerity drive.
However, chancellor George Osborne argues that it was the market's faith in the government's deficit reduction plan which stopped the UK suffering the same economic fate as the eurozone and the US.

Q: Snake game board C++ My goal is to make a snake game.
So I have to make the board first I think, and I made an array for it.  It has two dimensions, x and y. But after it, I don't even know what to do. I can handle the movement. I don't understand how to initialize a board, help me. I am using Code:blocks.
I am only using console app.
the code is here:
#include <iostream>
#include <ctime>
#include <string>
#include <math.h>
#include <cstdlib>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
int board[50][50];
srand (time(NULL));
int foodX = rand() % 50 + 0;
int foodY = = rand() % 50 + 0;

for (int i; i < 50; i++)
{
  //i don't know well multi-dimension arrays
}

}

A: The core of the snake game is determining how to position the snake.    There is no real need for a board.
You can represent the board by using maximum horizontal and vertical values.  If the snake hits a border, the game is over.
A common question about the Snake Game is how to position or draw the snake on the screen.  You'll need a platform specific library to do that, like NCurses.  You could use a 2d array of spaces and print the array after each move.
If you are going to use a "board", I highly recommend adding one extra column.  Let the extra column hold a line ending character.  This will allow for easier printing of the board (especially if the last cell is a nul character).

A: To initialize the board, first use meaningful names.  And only define the constants in one place:
#define HEIGHT 50
#define WIDTH 50
int board[HEIGHT][WIDTH];
...
for (int row; row < HEIGHT; row++)
{
    for (int col; col < WIDTH; col++)
    {
       board[row][col] = 0;
    }
}

Is a charity public or private sector?
What is the for purpose sector?
Why are charities called the third sector?

Are all nonprofits charities?
How big is the charity sector?
What are the 3 types of nonprofits?
What are the types of public sector?
Are nonprofits public entities?
What are public sector workers?
Third sector organisations include: Charities. Voluntary and community organisations. Social enterprises and cooperatives.
Charities have a responsibility to work effectively with others if it is in the best interests of the communities and individuals they exist for. Established under the Labour Government, its purpose is to make clear the strong and vital role of the charity sector as a provider of public services.
A charity shop (UK), thrift shop or thrift store (USA) or opportunity shop (others) is a retail establishment run by a charitable organization to raise money. Charity shops are a type of social enterprise.
The Charitable Sector — Independent Sector.
The voluntary sector is independent from local and national government, and distinct from the private sector. Charities are the largest single category within the voluntary sector.
They must make a profit (surplus), and importantly, they must strive to achieve their objects. Like the for profit sector, the for purpose sector is extremely diverse. It includes associations, charities, churches, clubs, community groups, councils, institutes, social services and a whole lot more.
THIS IS INTERESTING: When was UNICEF established what are the functions of UNICEF Class 12?
are independent of government. are 'value-driven', they are motivated by the desire to achieve social goals rather than the desire to distribute profit. reinvest any surpluses generated in the pursuit of their goals. For this reason, third sector organisations are sometimes called 'not-for-profit organisations'.
The entities that form the private sector include:
Sole proprietorships.
Partnerships.
Small and mid-sized businesses.
Large corporations and multinationals.
Professional and trade associations.
Trade unions.
Third sector organisations are owned and run voluntarily by trustees .
While all charities are nonprofits, not all nonprofits are charities.
According to the NCVO Almanac 2021, the voluntary sector contributed £20billion (0.9% of total GDP) to the economy in 2020. It has a total income of £56billion a year, half of which comes from the public via donations, legacies, membership fees and charges for services.
There are three types of nonprofit corporations in California: public benefit, mutual benefit, and religious. A nonprofit public benefit corporation (the focus of this step-by-step guide) is the appropriate choice for a nonprofit formed for charitable or public purposes.
types of Public Sector organizations
International (multistate entities or partnerships). National (an independent state). Regional (a province/state within a national state). Local (a municipal-level body such as a city or county).
According to IRS classifications, all 501(c)(3) non-profit organizations will either be set up as public charities or private foundations.

The villagers of S Saijang village brought a Shaktiman truck loaded with squash and gifted them to the club members for distribution to the localities. On the other hand, the club members of BYCY handed over a sum of Rs 5,000 for the villagers and medicines like paracetamol, painkillers, antibiotics etc. were also given to the villagers. It is reported that the exchange programme was carried out under the supervision of the S Saijang village chief Lunmang.
Village chief Lunmang expressed that the exchange was done with the view to lessen the hardships being faced by the valley people during this lockdown and curfew period. He also hoped that the exchange would bring oneness and closeness towards one another among hill and valley people, the same could bring to feel that we were all from one family, nothing could separate us.
The president of BYCY club, Khomdram Prafullo, wished that the event would bridge more the gap between the hill and valley people.
General secretary, Sanjoi Hidam told that the gifted items will have to be distributed not only to one and all of the locality, but also to the families of neighbouring localities too. He also added that the distribution will be started from Thursday morning. He appealed to the people "to help one another at the time of grief and distress without any thought of being hill and valley people, keeping in mind that we are all brothers and sisters and of the same family. The bond of love must be tightened at any cost."

One if by link. Katie Paine reviewed three books on blogging, and did so well. Shel Israel linked to her review. I'll link to each book's web site.
Naked Conversations, by Shel and Scoble, see above link to Shel's site.
The Corporate Blogging Book, by Debbie Weil.
Dispatches From Blogistan, by Susan Stefanac.
Two if by rhyme. Let's get mousy with it, using the structure of "Three Blind Mice" and the order of books from the above list.
The third isn't just for business eyes.
Three if bibliolescencent. Bibliolescence is a term I coined for a book becoming obsolete. The first and second prizes for raising this concern about blogging books go to Dispatches. It would be easy to mock the book now for having a "social networks on the rise" chapter that doesn't mention Facebook. But the foreword, by David Perlmutter, addresses the "why a book about blogs" question, and the "books are too slow" charge, rather well.
Each of the books earns its current keep. Conversations evangelizes about corporate blogging, and the gospel still bears preaching. Corporate borders on "for dummies" territory, and not in a bad way.
Dispatches is the outlier among the three, given that it's more general and less corporate than the other two, and that it was published in 2007, rather than in 2006. I particularly like the five "blogs as" chapters, in which blogs are discussed as linkfests, diaries, clubhouses, newrooms, and then soapboxes.
So we have three good books on blogging here. This 3×3 post, together with Katie's rather more timely review, should give you an idea of which of the books would serve you best.
Thanks for the mention! I think the books really point up the "blog gap" between the great majority of people just discovering social media, for whom these books are now appropriate, and the rest of us that are looking at Facebook and Scrapblog and other forms of social media.

Milk paint, or casein paint, is a mixture of quark, water, pigment and baking soda or lime. Milk paint contains only natural ingredients and is 100% biodegradable, odorless, safe and contains no solvents, preservatives or other additives.
Milk Paint is ideal for decorative paint effects such as old or washed looks on furniture. The coating is not entirely waterproof, so for surfaces that are used extensively or outdoors it is sensible to seal the paint. This can be done with a varnish, oil or wax. Milk paint is easy to make at home, there are various recipes to be found online.
Milk paint is the type of natural paint with the largest footprint, because casein is a product of the environmentally-heavy dairy industry. Nonetheless it is much better than oil based finishes.
When milk paint is sold as a powder it saves a lot of energy in transport since it is much lighter than paints that are pre-mixed with water or oil.
Milk paint contains no solvents or VOC's. However, some of the recipes contain chemicals (lime) that can be hazardous and irritant to the skin. Be careful with DIY chemistry.
Home made milk paint is low cost. However the ready made powder or paint is more expensive.
Making milk paint at home is more time consuming then buying a ready mixed paint. It is "labor intensive and (...) takes 2 days to dry" (greenopedia).
Milk paint has a short shelf life when it is mixed with water(1). Powder milk paint can be kept for longer when stored dry.
There is no offgassing of any toxic gasses that could be harmful for the user.
Milk paint can form a resistant layer of colour to wood, but it depends strongly on the type of wood. The paint sticks better to porous wood that hasn't been treated previously. It is not waterproof, so surfaces that are subject to moisture need an additional sealant. Heavy moisture can lead to mold growth, so it is unsuitable for the kitchen or bathroom(1).
Milk paint is easy to sand and re-paint.


INTERVIEW Critics have declared that a Donald Trump victory at next month's United States presidential elections would usher "the end of the world".
His foreign policies, which include "extreme vetting" of Muslims coming to the US, are ever-changing – raising the question of how Malaysia, as a key Islamic ally, would be impacted.
But Malaysia has little to worry about, according to outgoing US ambassador to Malaysia Joseph Y Yun, who steps down on Friday after three years in the post.
In US politics, Congress will keep a hypothetical "President Trump" in check - and Yun said the Congress is very clear about their stand towards Asia.
"You've seen congressional delegates who come here, they're both Republicans and Democrats, all very, very loudly endorsing the administration's (present) Asia policy.
"So, unlike some other parts of the world where there may be partisan views, (when it comes to) Asia in general, Southeast Asia in particular, (the views) have been bi-partisan.
"So I'm quite confident. Whoever is elected, whether a Democrat or a Republican, our fundamental policy towards Asia will not change," Yun told Malaysiakini in an interview at his office in Kuala Lumpur.
This includes the 'Rebalance to Asia' policy of the US, which is about committing more resources to the region, military and civilian, he said.
But what about the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPPA), of which Malaysia is a signatory?
Both Trump and Secretary Hillary Clinton are against the trade pact - Clinton, often viewed as the safer option of the two, even said she would 'kill' the deal if elected president.
However, Yun said he was very confident that the TPPA would not be called off.
President Barack Obama had often said he would like to work on the ratification of the TTPA by the US Congress before he leaves office in January next year, said Yun.
And there will be big push for the TPPA's ratification when the US congress convenes again early next month, explained Yun.
"If it goes beyond that period, we'll see. I don't think it's a foregone conclusion, at all, that either Mr Trump, or Secretary Clinton, will ultimately kill it," he said.
"Certainly, 12 countries have negotiated a very, very good agreement... So, certainly, I would like to see the agreement go through.
One of your predecessors, John R Mallot, has been critical of the Malaysian government. Has that put you in a difficult position, and has Putrajaya expressed concern?
We all have views, and once we retire, generally you're free to express your views, and John is a good friend, but he has strong views about Malaysia, and he makes it known.
There are NGOs that also make their views very clear, for example, Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International. So I would say they belong to the same group - a bit of a watchdog, and wanting to make sure that what you call the moral standard is applied and criticised.
Not just Malaysian governments, but they are big critics of the governments in Thailand, Cambodia, China. That's their job. My job is to build relationships, their job is to criticise.
Has it been tough for you?
No. I think when you have an honest dialogue with them, they understand. And it's not been tough at all.
How has human rights in Malaysia fared in your three years of service?
This is an issue that happened in every country I worked at. Of course, US is a big upholder of human rights, but at the same time I'm very mindful that we also have our own issues.
One example being the Guantanamo facilities. So, I do very much believe personally that people who live in glass houses shouldn't be throwing stones.
Each country must deal with their problems on freedom issues, human rights issues within their own capacity and constraints. And as long as I lived here, I understand those constraints. And so of course we want to see this democratic space increase. There's no question. However, we have to be very mindful that we don't blindly criticise. That's not helpful either.
So we try our best, working with Malaysia, to do what we can. One example is trafficking in people. To work with them, both on the legal side and getting a policy framework done, as well as on the implementation side, working with NGOs that are working there, as well as on the law enforcement side.
We realise this huge challenge here - this is a country whose economy is much better than its neighbours, so its a magnet. So you cannot just blindly say 'treat them all well' otherwise you will be inundated. So how do you work in that space? For me, half my job is explaining to my government what's going on, the other half is getting the two governments together to work productively.
What do you think about Bersih, and how do you think a government should handle it?
Each country has their own constraints, their own systems, their own laws. And so on the one part, those who are willing to make protests, make their voices heard, must be consistent in that framework. It must be legal, they must have permission if that's what's required.
So, within that, of course, as the American government, as a US official, we would support freedom of expression. That's a fundamental freedom of expression and so I have no problems saying that in any place, anywhere in the world, freedom of expression is one of the fundamental freedoms that people should have.
In Malaysia, there are caveats to that. We have the Peaceful Assembly Act, where you have to give notice before that (assembly). Do you think we need such restrictions?
Well, that's your law. And if you need to change it, you need to change it legally.

Welcome back to part 2 of our 3 part article, here we will continue with our 11 steps or suggestions that will help you land that job!
#3 – Volunteer – If you're not quite ready to head into – or back into – the workforce, or you are looking at changing jobs why not consider some volunteer work with an organisation that is focused on something you are interested in. You may end up doing work that is very simple, or very boring but as you stick with it and show how committed you are you'll be given more responsibilities. Not only can you help others, but you'll also be gaining some great references. Make sure you emphasise your volunteer work on your CV as some employers tend to favor candidates who help the community or show a community spirit.
#4 – Develop your own *pitch* Many interviews start with a question such as *tell me about yourself*. While the interviewer doesn't want you to go back to primary school and give them a rundown of your entire life – this is a direct question that requires a good solid answer in about two or three minutes. Just relax, be honest, the interviewer wants to understand your background, hear what your accomplishments are, why you want to work for them and what your goals are.
#5 – Prepare yourself for a *behavioral* style interview – During the course of the interview you may be asked to describe any problems you have encountered and how you have handled them. Perhaps you will be asked a hypothetical question about a situation and you'll be asked what you would do, how you would handle it. Basically the interviewer just wants to know how well you will handle or deal with any problems or obstacles you might be faced with. Just be honest, give any examples of problems you have faced and dealt with in the past. Give an honest response and any detailed examples from your past – even if the situation is a hypothetical one. You may find yourself having to list facts, so try and remember in this type of interview situation – you need to tell a story.
*How would you handle an employee who is always late?
*Have you ever had to work with someone you didn't like?
*Tell me about a time you had to make a decision, even though it made you unpopular.
*Give us an example of something innovative you have done that made a difference in your workplace.
#6 – Research the company – Don't just do a search on the Internet, briefly look over who they are, what they do, what they offer and be done with it. If for example you want to get into a retail company, visit their stores, and strike up conversations with the staff – ask them how long the position has been open, do they like working there and what you can do to increase your chance of landing the job. Learn the history of the company, who runs it, when was it established, be creative with your research and outdo the other candidates.
#7 – Be prepared to settle down – If you have moved around a lot, be prepared to be asked *why*? Otherwise you might have to put forward a good case for why you want to and will stay in the area where the job is located. A company is looking for the right person for the job, NOT for someone with wanderlust who is just looking for a reason to relocate. Give a specific reason WHY you want to stay in the area, better schools, to be near family – the more details and specifics the better.
Are there any other tips or tricks you can share? Don't forget to look out for part three. Have any of our tips we've mentioned so far been helpful to you?

U.N.: Ceasefire Violations May Spark Lebanon-Israel Conflict
The U.N. Security Council has warned that violations of the ceasefire agreement between Lebanon and Israel could lead to a new conflict and urged international support for Lebanon's armed forces and their stepped up deployment in the south and at sea.
The council's warning against "a new conflict that none of the parties or the region can afford" came in a resolution adopted unanimously extending the mandate of the U.N. peacekeeping force in southern Lebanon known as UNIFIL until Aug. 31, 2019.
Council members urged "all parties" to exercise "maximum calm and restraint and refrain from any action or rhetoric that could jeopardize the cessation of hostilities or destabilize the region."
UNIFIL was originally created to oversee the withdrawal of Israeli troops after a 1978 invasion. The mission was expanded after a 2006 war between Israel and Hizbullah so that peacekeepers could deploy along the Lebanon-Israel border, to help Lebanese troops extend their authority into their country's south for the first time in decades.
Israel and Lebanon are still technically at war and the resolution reiterates the council's call for Israel and Lebanon "to support a permanent ceasefire and a long-term solution."
The council also stressed "the necessity of an effective and durable deployment of the Lebanese Armed Forces in southern Lebanon and the territorial waters of Lebanon at an accelerated pace."
It called for UNIFIL, which has more than 10,000 troops deployed in southern Lebanon, and the Lebanese military to analyze the country's ground forces and maritime assets.
France's deputy U.N. ambassador Anne Gueguen stressed that "only the presence of the Lebanese state and its armed forces will ensure security ... and create the conditions of lasting stability in the south of Lebanon, and along its territorial waters."
The Security Council also commented on the current political situation in Lebanon.
Nearly four months after the country held its first general elections in nine years, politicians are still squabbling over the formation of a new government amid uncertainty over a long stagnating economy, struggling businesses and concerns over the currency.
The Security Council welcomed the holding of elections and the country's progress toward reactivating government institutions, and called for the formation of a new Lebanese government "without further delay."

Israel is the only one that doesn't respect the ceasefire and keeps violating Lebanon's sovereignty, Israel which rely on the criminal America that was attending the ceremony of the LAF..... trying to be on the both bands, is playing with fire.
And what do you intend to do about it ya Ali apart from echoing the same bark that the bearded goat sermonizes to his sheep every Friday?
We all know that Kizballah jumps when Israel tells it to jump so don't get to far ahead of yourself.


One of the paintings on my easel this winter is a painted version of Bonnat's famous pencil and chalk drawing: "Jacob Wrestling the Angel". It illustrates a Biblical passage from Genesis in which Jacob wrestles an entire night with a mysterious angel; the combat is usually has been variously interpreted as man's struggle against God, against Satan, or against himself.
Further down this post you can see the original drawing, some colour studies Bonnat created for an larger work in oils, and then a set of other works of art created on the same theme.
In my opinion, Bonnat's drawing is by far the best treatment of this biblical story I've seen because of the quality of the figures — especially the dramatic poses and the anatomy. The play on light and dark in the background certainly helps with the drama in the foreground. It reminds me of Rembrandt's famous windmill painting that uses shifting tonal relationships — patterns of light against dark, dark on dark, light on light, dark against light — to marry the subject to the background and to create movement. While the figures may be momentarily locked in combat, the atmosphere around them is shifting. This drawing to me is like that an early comic book version of the story.
My version in oils is 20″ x 16″ and it's still a work in progress. I've created a limited palette for the skin tones and included earth and sky colours in the background. Next, I need to clean up the edges and soften them in places.
Bonnat's drawing, which measures 21 3/4″ x 14 1/2″, was created with pencil and black chalk on paper. Art historians consider it either a highly finished study for a painting Bonnat once exhibited, now lost — or a variant after that lost painting. I've come across two small colour studies that Bonnat apparently created for this painting.
Gutenberg Bible (1558), Rembrandt (1659), Gustave Dore (1855), Eugene Delacroix (1861), Alexander Lois Leloir (1865), Gustave Moreau (1878), and Paul Gauguin (1888).

Women plead guilty in prostitution sting that involved Patriots owner Robert Kraft
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Two of four women charged in a South Florida prostitution sting that also involved New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft have taken plea deals this week, court records show.
Lei Wang, 41, and Shen Mingbi, 60, each pleaded guilty in Palm Beach County circuit court to one count of soliciting another to commit prostitution, records show. They were fined $5,000 each and ordered to complete 100 hours of community service.
A misdemeanor charge against Kraft was dropped earlier this year after courts blocked the use of video that allegedly shows him paying for sex. Kraft had pleaded not guilty but issued a public apology for his actions.

Two other women who worked at the Orchids of Asia Day Spa in Jupiter previously reached deals with prosecutors. Hua Zhang, 59, pleaded guilty last month to two misdemeanors. Lei Chen, 45, pleaded guilty to eight counts of offering to commit prostitution in February.
The four women, Kraft and two dozen other men were charged in February 2019 in a multicounty investigation of massage parlors that included the installation of video cameras in the Orchids of Asia's lobby and rooms under the ruse that a bomb threat required its evacuation. Police say the recordings show Kraft and other men engaging in sex acts with women and paying them.
Those recordings where later thrown out after a county court judge ruled the warrant allowing the cameras' installation didn't sufficiently protect the privacy of innocent customers who received legal massages. An appeals court sided with the judge.
Palm Beach County State Attorney Dave Aronberg dropped the charges against Kraft and the other men in September, explaining that without the video recordings, there wasn't enough evidence to convict them.

Q: Maintaining web-application version number I want some suggestions about web-application versioning system.
Currently I use SVN commit number as version number of the application. So if the commit number is around 596 then I call it version 5.96
What is the most used approach for keeping a transparent versioning system of web application?

A: Check out 'semantic versioning'
It's a pretty popular standard these days.
Essentially version numbers consist of three numbers
major.minor.patch
major version is only updated any time you are doing a major release which has 'breaking' changes in it (essentially 3rd party integrating with your site will need to adjust their code for it to work with yours again)
minor version is updated when you are adding non-breaking changes
patch version is updated when you check in any small changes/bug fixes.
If the major version gets reset then the other two go back to zero. So you might be at 3.1.17 and when you move to 4 it becomes 4.0.0 then you might do a small bug fix so it goes to 4.0.1 the  you might add a small feature and it goes to 4.1.0 and another bug fix so it goes and another bug fix so it goes to 4.1.1 and another feature so it changes to 4.2.0 etc.
My explanation isn't perfect so go look it up. It's a pretty sensible versioning system and allows anyone using your library / integrating with you to instantly know whether or not to expect breaking changes, new functionality or bug fixes.


Viagra by Pfizer is not the only drug for treatment of erectile dysfunction. There are many other methods used to treat this sexual disorder.
Some of these methods are invasive and are rarely used nowadays. Earlier, however, implants, pumps and suppositories were very popular.
Some of these methods are not scientific. There are a lot of herbal drugs for treatment of erectile dysfunction. However, none of them is approved by the FDA and proven to be effective.
Finally, some of the drugs are PDE5 inhibitors, just like Viagra. The 2 drugs, except for Viagra, which are also popular among doctors and patients, are Cialis and Levitra.
Very often men get confused, which of these three impotence drugs is more efficient. This is why it is important to get a general overview of both, Cialis and Levitra and compare them to Viagra.
The active ingredient in Cialis, drug developed by Eli Lilly and Co, is Tadalafil. The drug was approved by the US FDA in 2003 and became as popular as Viagra in 2011.
Cialis pills are available in 5, 10 and 20 mg. They should be taken 30 minutes to 12 hours prior to sexual activity. Cialis effect lasts for up to 36 hours.
The side effects of Cialis are very similar to those of Viagra. They include but are not limited to headache, back pain, stomach ache, runny nose, blurred vision and loss of hearing. It might also cause painful or prolonged erections.
Cialis can be used to treat pulmonary arterial hypertension.
Levitra is another drug used to treat erectile dysfunction. It was developed by Bayer and approved by the US FDA in 2003. Its active ingredient is Vardenafil, also a PDE5 inhibitor.
Levitra pills are available in 2.5 mg, 5 mg, 10 mg, and 20 mg. The drug should be taken 1 hour prior to sexual activity; its effect lasts for up to 4-5 hours.
The side effects that Levitra may cause are similar to those of Viagra. Just as Cialis and Viagra, Levitra should not be taken with fat foods or alcohol. Its interactions with other drugs might be dangerous, so patients are recommended to consult their doctor first.
Cialis, Levitra and Viagra online can be purchased through our online pharmacy.

Group of "contrabands" at Foller's House, VA
Photo courtesy Library of Congress (No. 0055)
The national argument over where slavery should be legal and where it would be prohibited spiralled the nation toward Civil War in 1861. By 1862, the Union Army occupied sections of the South from Fortress Monroe, Virginia, to New Orleans. Enslaved men, women and children found their way to Union lines and became "contraband" of war, many of them working for the Union army or beginning new lives. In the North, after initial opposition, black men formed military companies. While the Massachusetts 54th was the most famous of these units, the 180,000 African Americans who served in the Civil War came from every part of the now-disunited States. As many soldiers had their origins in the South as in the North. By the time that the Emancipation Proclamation went into effect, in January, 1863, many slaves had emancipated themselves.

Travelling for work or play is the perfect opportunity to practice mindfulness. When we're in a new environment, we have to be more aware and observant. It's all new, and new is exciting to our mind!
The "beginner's mind" means we're more open to whatever will come – we don't have any expectations. When we don't have an idea of how things should be, we can fully enjoy the moment.
Whether we've stayed at a hotel a dozen times, or this is our first time, there's always so much to discover.
Get to know hotel staff by name. It doesn't matter if you're only staying overnight, creating human connections make our moments meaningful. Whether it's the check-in staff, the server at breakfast or the attendant that helps you with your bags, make it a point to say hello and introduce yourself. Each time you pass by, a smile or a quick chat with a new friend makes what could be a mundane moment fun.
Take frequent gratitude breaks. Feeling gratitude is an incredible way to drop right into your present moment and surroundings. Even if you're traveling on business, it's a true luxury to visit different destinations and meet new people. Spending a few seconds in the morning with the awareness of your safe travel, your good health to travel, and your ability to experience new things while still in your hotel bed sets you up for an epic day.
Remember your body. Sitting in planes, trains and automobiles for extended periods of time isn't great for posture, circulation or energy levels. Even if you don't have time to hit the hotel gym for a huge workout, see if you can spend a few minutes stretching and breathing deeply in your room. Lengthening your muscles, boosting your blood flow and releasing tension literally helps you move easier through your day. If you need some inspiration, try the YOTEL x Mindfresh video series.
Practicing mindfulness in your hotel doesn't have to be an extended meditation in your room with your eyes closed, although, that's awesome too. A mindfulness practice can be as simple as just taking in everything happening around you.
If you can keep that innocent, open and excited mindset, you'll have a meaningful trip, even on your 10th visit. Each experience offers something new, we just have to be open to seeing it that way.


Good morning! So today I'm introducing you to Kellan Caine and Aubrey d'Avila, from The Hidden One (available in the box set Rite to Reign), and how I came about creating these two characters.
Kellan has been a part of the Caine world since Book 1, Demon Soul. He finds his cousin, Gabriel, as they both independently investigate a vampire stronghold in the daytime.
Kellan became a needed part of the Caine clan, someone who loved explosives and firepower and knew how to close portals. He chooses to live in Quartzite, Arizona…not a terribly hospitable place, but useful for being able to detonate explosives without fallout.
We meet Aubrey in Book 2, Demon Hunt (Gregor and Serra's book), when her old college coven is called upon to help the Caines patrol for demons. A portal has been opened, and five out of the seven women in the group who come to help need to shut it down and remove the demons before the winter solstice. Out of her coven, Aubrey is one of three witches who survive. Kellan, of course, is drawn to Aubrey from the minute he sees her, but keeps his flirting to a minimum.
Aubrey is also there in Book 3, Demon Rage (Justin and Maggie's book), but still keeping Kellan at arms' length. He gets distracted by a police detective…but that does not end well.
We know that Aubrey and Kellan have been working together, closing portals and killing demons across the southern states, when we see them again in Wolf's Heart; but that's just about all we know of them. Wolf's Heart is Doc Megan's story.
By the time we see Aubrey and Kellan in The Hidden One, they've been apart for almost six months due to various and sundry reasonings. But The Hidden One takes them far from southern California; and together they meet the new challenges head on. The Hidden One is Book 1 of The Covenant of Witches series. Look for Book 2, The Dark One, and Book 3, The Radiant One, in Spring/Summer of 2019.
I hope you enjoyed this brief look into their relationship, and a little about them! Grab The Hidden One, a part of the limited-release Rite to Reign box set!

Carolina Counseling Services - Will your Insurance Pay for Marriage Counseling?
It's not cheap to seek marriage counseling, but for couples eager to give their marriage another shot, it's worth investing in. Often interchangeably referred to as couples counseling, this form of talk therapy is sought by couples desiring to resolve marital conflicts and get help to improve their relationship. When counseling is required or necessary, it is advantageous to have an insurance to cover the cost of seeing a therapist.
Generally speaking, insurance does not pay for marriage counseling, but most insurances pay for "family counseling". It is a fact that many issues are easier to treat when they are managed within the context of a family setting. In most cases, family counseling that involves marital issues, depression, alcoholism, sleep disorder, anxiety, etc. takes less time to be resolved. When the client's spouse takes an active part in addressing and resolving the issues, the session is often referred to as marriage counseling.
Married couples should keep in mind that most insurances cover family counseling if a family member has symptoms that meet the criteria for a diagnosis, such as depression, anxiety, adjustment issues, and many more. A bounty of research suggests that staying in a distressed relationship makes the couple more susceptible to these real illnesses. Counseling is often resorted to alleviate the symptoms and improve the relationship. It also helps the spouse exhibiting emotional and behavioral symptoms to get back on course to function normally in life. A professional marriage counselor may certify that such counseling is a medical necessity and it is qualified for insurance reimbursement.
Sometimes couples experiencing marital distress can't get help because of financial problems. It's a sad reality when money becomes a barrier to the type of counseling needed to save a relationship. The good news is that if you or your spouse has health insurance, you can use it to pay for counseling, as long as it is a medical necessity (symptoms meet criteria for a diagnosis) for one of you.
Carolina Counseling Services in Fayetteville, NC, is an insurance friendly practice that is happy to help anyone who is having issues within their marriage/family that may be contributing to their distress. It's part of our commitment to restore your hope for your marriage. Call now and make an appointment.

I used the water hose first time this year. The water trunks I had placed in the shade of the acacia trees in front of the shed. This is the summer position. The alges stay out and the water stays cool. I Never let horses drink from water trunks that are heated by the sun. This is a stove for bacteria and alges, this can be a big strain on your horses health. And they are likely not happy to drink from this water as well, so their water intake would not be big enough with dehydration as result.
When I turned on the water I found out the water hose was perforated in two places, instead of a big spurt, I got lesser water out of the end, but I had sprinklers where the hose was perforated. With horses there is a major rule that one shall always work with the circumstances given at the moment. So instead of thinking that it was something bad, I immediately saw the good side of the damage. Because I always water the sand in the paddock in front of the walk in shed. This helps keeping the dust away, and it is good for the horses hoofs to get moist. So I was quite content with what happened.
It took me a little longer before the trunks were filled, but while I was filling them up I did a short standing meditation. When the horses had their fresh water I placed the hose in different positions on the ground. To water the sand. While the hose was watering the paddock I used my time feeding Csiki and Ramon their daily supplements. This way of working is so relaxing, everything goes with the flow.
When I had put Ramon his bucket on the floor he was so eager for his meal he stood with his hind legs in the sprinkling water from the hose. When I saw that, I smiled, because he is only three-year old and all these kind of things he still has to learn. If you go with the flow. It seems circumstances set themself up for your benefit. Or it is the art to just work with what is? It is what it is….
By the time I went in to get my camera, Ramon had positioned himself differently. But nevertheless you can see how he is relaxed and eating while water is flowing everywhere around him. This is good for his foundation training, to get him used to all alien things he could encounter in his future. Getting used to the 'human' world. And he can figure things out by himself, this makes his fundation solid and sound!
