 help children learn where their food is coming from," says registered dietician Lisa McDowell of St. Joe's pharmacy department. "We find that children are far more interested in eating the fruits and vegetables if they've had a hand in growing them or harvesting them."“It’s like two arrows,” said the Buddha.
The first arrow is the event itself. The painful experience.
Your partner left you. Your house burnt to the ground. You lost your job. You’re diagnosed with life threatening disease. Your friend cut all ties with you.
The event has happened. We lived it, or we’re going through it. We can’t (though we want to) avoid it.
But then there is the second arrow.
The second is the arrow we shoot INTO ourselves. Ouch.
But here’s the twist; the second arrow is not mandatory. It’s there, ready to aim. It’s shiny, sharp and begging to be used. BUT – it’s entirely up to us whether we shoot the second arrow or not.
The second arrow represents our mind; it’s about how we use our mind as a tool to respond, rather than react, to the events around us.
We can double the pain by shooting the arrow straight for our own flailing limbs; that is… we can interpret the initial cruddy event with a mind that is angry, blaming and fearful…
..or we can leave the second arrow holstered, and sieve the same painful event through a filter with less resentment, less anguish…. and more compassion.
This is not about denying our emotions.
The ‘big feels’ will come and at times they will rock us with their strength. But the ‘feels’ are part of the initial event. Of course you’re going to have an emotional response. Trust in that. Your central nervous system is guiding you to do what needs doing.
Cry when the tears come. Shout when the urge emerges. Run when your body requests it. Punch it out when the anger lunges (…on a bag people.. on a bag! ;)…
And then what?
And then.. use your MIND as an ally.
Instead of:
“I should be over this by now. Why haven’t I got my sh*t together yet?”
Lay the arrow down.
“This will take as long as it takes. There’s no need to measure how fast I ‘think’ I should be tracking.”
Instead of:
“If [……] hadn’t left me I’d be so much better off by now.”
Lay the arrow down.
“Though it’s not been an easy ride, I can see now that […..] leaving me has opened up other experiences and opportunities in my life that I never thought possible.”
Instead of:
“This isn’t the way life was meant to be. [………] wasn’t meant to go / pass before me.”
Lay the arrow down.
“I choose to trust that we are all on our own journey. [……] lived their journey the way they were meant to. I look forward to seeing them on the other side when the time is right.”
Two arrows.
The first hit? It happens. Because… Life.
The second? Well whether you shoot that one or not … is entirely up to you.
Ever,

Download now...A tutorial section for using plugins in applications.
Using plugins is not currently covered anywhere in the guides in a general manner.
Mentioning an automatically loaded plugin here is a bit misleading. I guarantee it will be misunderstood.
A list of built-in plugins can be found at L<Mojolicious::Plugins/"PLUGINS">.
L<Mojolicious::Guides::Cookbook/"Adding a plugin to your appplication">.
This is too verbose for a tutorial section. Just replace all of this with a link to MetaCPAN, like we have on the frontpage.
of the name, and optionally provide configuration for the plugin.
I think "which can omit the CMojolicious::Plugin:: part of the name" is out of place. Doesn't read very well to me. I think instead of mentioning which arguments plugin() can take, I would say why you want to write plugins. Something like "code sharing", "sharing logic between controllers",...
It is necessary to explain why plugin Config loads Mojolicious::Plugin::Config.
If not documented here, I'd want to document it in either the Mojolicious::Lite/plugin or Mojolicious/plugin docs, neither of which currently contain this explanation of the arguments (just examples).
Every plugin worth using documents how it prefers to be loaded. I don't think mentioning it here adds much value to the tutorial.
That does not help with the other direction: seeing "plugin Config" in code and wanting to find out what that means (or more difficult, plugins from CPAN).
I think it's up to Mojolicious::Plugin::Config to document how it is loaded. I do agree that it's useful to have the rules mention in a general section as well, but I don't think this is the right place.
Guess i'm voting neutral.
&gt;A good rule of thumb is that unless it is a major author most unverified reviews will be ARC reviews.

I don't know how true that is - when people read via KU, it doesn't count as a verified purchase.  I've done *no* ARCs and I get plenty of unverified reviews from people I know aren't my regular readers.  KU is a huge market :)

But, total agreement on the "include this statement" deal.  I've always been advised that it's Amazon policy, and imo it's just good practice as a reviewer as part of being honest :)Sitc hospital Bahawalpur address is 85-A, Noor Mehal road, Bahawalpur and Punjab.

Throne speech marks a tectonic shift in BC politics
Scientists were premature in retracting their prediction that an earthquake would occur in BC. On February 13th,, 2007 at approximately 2 PM in the afternoon the earth shook in Victoria. With the throne speech, the BC government finally acknowledged that global warming is real and that seismic changes are needed. However, further tremors are expected as significant questions remain about how to achieve the promised targets.
The throne speech marked a tectonic shift in direction for Mr. Campbell’s government, a colossal shake up from his previous anti-Kyoto rhetoric. His commitments on carbon caps are ambitious, but ambiguous. And the list of new initiatives certainly is long.
The commitment to “reduce greenhouse gas emissions by at least 33 per cent below current levels by 2020” should be applauded. But many questions are left unanswered. And some of the commitments, which sound bite well, are misleading.
As we learned from Jean Chrtien, making carbon-related promises is easy, implementation is hard. The devil is in the details. Unfortunately, there aren’t many specifics available yet.
The big questions about Mr Campbell’s commitments involve how the contradictions with longstanding BC government policy will be resolved.
The BC Liberals have balanced their budget and produced a surplus on the back of skyrocketing oil and gas revenues, principally from selling rights to drill in northern BC. This fossil fuel feeding frenzy has been the main reason carbon emissions have spiked in BC under the BC Liberals.
Despite rhetoric about “tackl[ing] the challenges of global warming” with “action not procrastination,” little in the throne speech indicates this reliance on subsidized carbon intensive oil and gas will change.
But wait, didn’t Mr. Campbell promise to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the oil and gas industry “to 2000 levels by 2016”? Yes he did. But it means nothing.
Why? With rapid expansion of oil and gas exploration over the next few years, production will peak somewhere between 2007 and 2012 and drop steeply by the 2016 target date.
Thus this nice-sounding commitment means nothing. The massive expansion of oil and gas exploration will continue unabated and move out of the Peace region as supplies reach their peak and drop because of aggressive production has drained the fields in just a few short years. The fossil fuel corporations will not have to change their carbon-intensive exploration and production techniques. And the BC government will continue to subsidize fossil fuel and get rich doing so.
The contractions in the government’s promises are illustrated by its recent actions. Energy Minister Richard Neufeld recently declared that the BC government was considering a “net-profit” royalty scheme for fossil fuel companies that would allow them to use publicly-owned gas and avoid paying B.C. taxpayers until their capital costs are
