Hey guys,
I hope you had an amazing New Year!
As some of you may know my birthday is next Sunday, which is crazy because it feels like it was my birthday just a few weeks ago!
So I thought I would make it easy for my family and friends and make a wishlist for my birthday;)
1. Ultimate Glow Kit - Anastasia Beverly Hills
I have always wanted one of the Glow Kits but ever since this glow kit came out I have loved the look of it and I would love this as a gift!
I would really love these for taking blog photos, it would make them look that much more professional!
3. Heart Key Pendant - Tiffany & Co
I would have a heart attack if I got this necklace, I am not expecting to get this at all. I just love it so much!!!
I am currently studying GCSE Photography and I would love to also do it at A - level as well, and I think this camera would give me a great base to build upon. It also records videos, I am hoping to start a YouTube channel in the next couple of years.
5. Suedette Biker Jacket - Warehouse
I remember seeing a jacket like this in River Island which I loved, then I couldn't find in anywhere!
I love the look of suede and I would love to see what different outfits I could style this jacket with:)
6. High Rise Jean Leggings - Hollister
Hollister jeans are to die for! So comfy and I really need some black jeans!
7. Studio Split Suede Plimsolls - Zara
I really need some flat pumps and these are very cute and on sale!
8. Skater Sweater Dress - Hollister
This is such a cute and casual day dress and could be styled up or down, depending on what event you are going to!
9. Glitter 3D Platinum - MAC
This glitter is meant to be amazing for a glitter eyeshadow look and can be put on your favorite eye looks to give it some sparkle!
10. Better Than Sex Mascara - Too Faced
I have always wanted to try this mascara, people say it is amazing!
11. Solo3 Wireless Headphones - Beats
I love my music and jamming out with the volume up high is one of my favorite things to do! I have had beats for a while now and I would never go back to any other brand. My solo2 headphones have broken and I am lost without them! Apple earphone are just not the same! Because of me having the iPhone 7 there is no headphone jack so the Bluetooth on these would be life saving!
12. Austin Mahone Tickets!
As many of you know I have supported Austin for 4 years now and never seen him in concert! It is one of my dreams to meet Austin and just have the best time dancing around with my best friend Dans!
13. Instax Mini Film - Fujifilm
I am in desperate need of some film for my polaroid camera! I love taking pictures and hanging them on my fairy lights on my wall in my bedroom!
14. 9 Draw Alex Drawer Unit - Ikea
Ever since I redecorated my room back in the last couple of months of 2015 I have had 1 set of these drawers and I have discovered that I do need more drawer space for things like Pj's and hair care, etc...
15. Liquid Matte Minis- The Nude Edition - Huda Beauty
I've seen these liquid lipsticks all over Instagram and I would love to give them a try.
16. 35 Colour Nature Eye Shadow Palette (35O) - Morphe Brushes
The Morphe palettes. Wow. For the money and the quality of these shadows are amazing the colours are very me and I would be able to create many looks with palette.
I hope you all enjoyed reading my wishlist for my birthday!
I'll speak to you soon!
As always,
Izzie x
*I do not expect to get all/any of these gifts and I am grateful for whatever I am given, it's the thought that counts!

E arly in January, National Public Radio ran a multiday series of stories about sex abuse and people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. It was the kind of listening that reduced this mother to tears.
The statistics are horrendous. People with intellectual disabilities — like the Williams Syndrome my younger daughter, Mary, was born with — are more than seven times as likely to be sexually abused as those without a disability, according to numbers the U.S. Justice Department provided to NPR reporter Joseph Shapiro.
Abuse happens at home, at work, during the day and at night, and all too often, the victim knows his or her abuser. And while abuse may be underreported in the general population, it's even less likely to be reported by someone with an intellectual disability.
The outcomes, even when assaults are reported, are less likely to be satisfactory than when the victim is not disabled. Victims with disabilities have spent most of their lives relying on others in ways the nondisabled population does not. They're taught to do as they're told and to trust the authority figures in their lives, even when those figures may not deserve trust.
And, should charges be brought, guilty verdicts can be harder to come by. Victims are more susceptible to being talked into changing their stories; their speech may be difficult to understand; their behavior may seem odd, and they may have trouble describing an assault in detail or in a proper time sequence. At least some jurors, and even judges, have said victims did not behave as they believed victims should.
All that leaves parents and families in a quandary. How do we go about protecting our children, or siblings or other relatives from such abuse?
I spoke about the subject with Dr. Sondra Marshall, a licensed psychologist in the St. Charles Health System, and Dianna Hansen, executive director of the Central Oregon Disability Support Network.
While both women spoke about education, Marshall talked about being a vigilant supporter of someone with a disability. Vigilance means a variety of things.
Know who your family member's caretakers are, and, if you hire them, Google the names of job candidates. Check references, and if you're concerned about getting honest response, dig deeper.
It's also important to pay attention to your family member, Marshall says. If his or her behavior changes — they quit sleeping, complain about physical problems, change eating habits or something else — look into the problem.
Hansen emphasizes the value of education. Teach your child the names of his or her body parts instead of using cute nicknames. Teach your kids, and not just those with intellectual disabilities, about "good" touches and "bad" ones, and be certain they understand that no touching, good or bad, is allowed without their permission. That permission-first rule applies across the board, even to physicians.
Hansen says parents should work to have children with disabilities included with the general population in as many settings as possible. Being surrounded by nondisabled peers can help keep them safe.
Teach them, too, about what behavior is appropriate in various settings — no kissing at the office, for example. Her office has a variety of resources for parents.
Both women say it's important, critical, really, to keep talking to your relative even after you might think the lessons are done. Reinforcing what's been taught before is never a bad thing. Too, periodic questions about how life is going, how a person is being treated, may bring surprising results, although knowing what is going on and being able to respond to it is better than learning about something terrible after the fact.
I occasionally joke that, thanks to Mary, I'm unlikely to be an empty nester. The truth is, however, that most parents never quite shake the worries of parenthood. We want our children to be safe, and we're willing to work to see that they are.

MSPmentor has named TekLinks No. 20 among the world's most progressive 501 Managed Service Providers. The 10th annual list includes organizations from around the world and from diverse technology and business backgrounds. Also, the Birmingham Business Journal ranked TekLinks the No. 34 largest private company headquartered in metro Birmingham. The ranking is based on total revenue for 2016.
The 2017 MSP 501 list is based on data collected by MSPmentor and its partner, Clarity Channel Advisors. Data was collected online from Feb. 16 through May 15, 2017. The list recognizes top managed service providers based on metrics including recurring revenue, growth and other factors.
"TekLinks is a thriving business, and we're thrilled that is evident in both local and world rankings," says Don
According to BBJ, key takeaways from the Birmingham list include:
- On average, the top companies on the List reported 2016 revenue of $255.6 million and 185 local employees.
- Employment trends were mixed among companies with comparable data; only about 39 percent of the top businesses reported an increase in local employees, while 13 percent reported no changes.
- Despite mixed signals for employment growth, most companies are confident that local hiring will improve in the near future. 82 percent of poll respondents confirmed their plans to add new employees to local offices in the next year.
- Industrial and construction companies accounted for the bulk of revenue on the List; heavy industry companies reported a total revenue of $8.6 billion, while construction and design companies accounted for more than $6.5 billion.
- The finance and professional services industry showed the strongest revenue growth in the past year with a total increase of 12.6 percent from our prior List.

'Keep It in the Ground' Rally in Salt Lake City to Target BLM's Oil, Gas Auction
SALT LAKE CITY— Dozens of climate activists will protest Tuesday morning outside the Bureau of Land Management's oil and gas lease sale at the Salt Palace Convention Center in downtown Salt Lake City. Activists will rally with signs, banners and theatrical bidding paddles, demanding an immediate end to fossil fuel development. The BLM's "climate auction," as protesters have dubbed it, will allow industry to bid on more than 45,000 acres of publicly owned oil and gas leases in Utah — which harbor an estimated 1.87 million tons of potential greenhouse gas pollution.
The rally will be led by the group "Elders Rising," which is calling on the BLM to act to prevent catastrophic climate change and ensure a livable future for generations to come. The protest is part of a rapidly growing national movement calling on President Obama to define his climate legacy by halting new federal fossil fuel leases on public lands and oceans – a step that would keep up to 450 billion tons of carbon pollution from escaping into the atmosphere.
Similar "Keep it in the Ground" protests are planned for upcoming lease sales in Nevada, Wisconsin and New Orleans, and have previously taken place in Alaska, Wyoming, Colorado and Nevada. In the past four months, protested lease sales have been postponed in Utah, Colorado, Wyoming and Washington, D.C. In November, when the BLM made a last-minute decision to halt the oil and gas lease sale in Salt Lake City owing to the "high level of public interest," activists held a victory rally outside the BLM office.
What: "Keep It in the Ground" rally at BLM oil and gas leasing auction.
When: 8 a.m., Tuesday, Feb. 16.
Where: Salt Palace Convention Center, 100 West Temple, Salt Lake City, Utah 84101.
Who: Local activists from participating groups including Elders Rising, Canyon Country Rising Tide, Center for Biological Diversity, First UU Environmental Ministry, Great Old Broads For Wilderness, Green Riverkeeper Affiliate & Living Rivers, Mormon Environmental Stewardship Alliance, Rainforest Action Network, Science & Environmental Health Network, Women's Congress for Future Generations, Sierra Club, Utah Moms for Clean Air, Utah Physicians for a Healthy Environment, Utahns for Bernie Sanders and WildEarth Guardians and others.
Media availability: Activists will be available for interviews before and after the protest.
Some 67 million acres of U.S. public lands are already leased to dirty fossil fuel industries, an area 55 times larger than Grand Canyon National Park, and containing up to 43 billion tons of potential greenhouse gas pollution. Nearly one quarter of all U.S. climate pollution already comes from burning fossil fuels from public lands. Remaining federal oil, gas, coal, oil shale and tar sands that have not been leased to industry contain up to 450 billion additional tons of potential greenhouse gas pollution. In September, more than 400 organizations called on President Obama to end federal fossil fuel leasing. In November, Senators Merkley (D-Ore.), Sanders (D-Vt.) and others introduced legislation to end new federal fossil fuel leases and cancel non-producing federal fossil fuel leases. Last month, the Obama administration placed a moratorium on federal coal leasing while the Department of the Interior studies its impacts on taxpayers and the planet. Since November, in response to protests, the BLM has canceled oil and gas leasing auctions in Utah, Montana, Wyoming and Washington, D.C.

| Graft Prezzo: in offerta su Amazon a: 71,5€
As a general rule, a graft consists of introducing a piece of a different plant, belonging to the same plant family, on the lower part of another plant. This piece can be a branch, a bud, a branch with buds, and it is the real grafts, while the hosting plant is called rootstock. In addition to the reproductive purpose of a graft, there is also the graft measure which is taken to strengthen up the plants in order to make it more resistant to parasites or other external adversities. If well made, grafts can end up in precious additional decorations to the plants, being useful at the same time.
| Graft GFT027-250-GB - Fascetta del tubo (250 mm) Prezzo: in offerta su Amazon a: 18,97€
Grafts cannot be done anywhere, in fact, it is only with fruit trees and other wooden plants, that you will have the chance to graft your plants. Vegetable plants are not used to make grafts. Fruit trees, roses and all those plants which have a wooden structure can host a graft. You will have to make the perfect graft fit the plant in order to get the best from it. Bud grafts are those which involve the usage of buds, English grafts are those using branches with buds, and crown grafts is made of more than one branch introduced in the cut of the rootstock plant.
Graft time is not the same for every plant. You can graft in the winter, in the fall, in the summer and even in the spring time, depending on how and what you are about to graft. Usually, bud grafts are made in spring or summer, of course, because it is the time when most of the plants have their productive period. If you do the practice at the end of the productive time, you will have a sleepy grafts, which will be more resistant for the following season, being at rest for most part of the fall and the winter period. If you are grafting garden plants, like roses or similar, you should consider it as a crossbreeding procedure. The only difference is that these kinds of grafts request much more patience and time. Succulents also can be grafted, most of all to create a decorative look to these exotic plants. Once you have done the cuts, in these cases, you will have to place the plants in the shadow waiting for the wounds to get healed.

Happy New Year, Melissa. It's good to meet you here on WOYWW - a world of fun and insanity... Someone else who draws in their Bible. I don't think I would dare - not good enough at drawing - but it is a really good way of getting the message from the page into the heart!
Take care. God bless. Look forward to meeting you again.

My first client! I think if I can take on my parents as a client, I can take on anyone! Parents are the hardest to have as clients.
Here are the before shots.
Their bedroom was an 80's, barren wash of cream walls and cream carpet. They inherited a couple of "art deco", puce-colored swivel club chairs, and had a lot of functional-not-pretty IKEA pieces as placeholders until they got real furniture.
These IKEA drawers are quite useful, but better now that they are overflow storage hidden in the closet.
This poor window hung out by its lonesome in the middle of a wide, open, off-white wall.
My mom quilted this cool dragon square as well as the comforter. I used these two pieces as my inspiration anchors for the room. They both have splashes of purple and teal which served as my accent colors.
Unfortunately, as you can see in the above picture, these art pieces get completely washed out by the overwhelming cream walls, cream carpet, birch tables and white lamps. Also, much like their poor window, the dragon square gets completely swallowed by the expanse of the cream wall.
Their room needed color and texture, STAT!
Here is my vision board. As I mentioned earlier, I used my mom's quilts as the foundation of the design.
As also I mentioned, parents are the hardest clients. They don't like to take orders from their daughter. Nor do they liked to be coaxed, reasoned with, and especially not begged at. These are the measures I had to take to try to get them to paint the room. I even negotiated painting it myself in exchange for babysitting and red wine. Still, no go on the painting.
I even tried to persuade them visually. Still; no go.
I wanted to paint the walls with the color on the bottom right of the grid, then use the complementary, lighter shade above it on the ceilings. I lost. As I said, parents are the hardest clients. So in my mind, the room isn't finished. But they are very happy with the results.
So in the "after" pictures (I'm still secretly pining that these are still "during" photos and they will paint), just squint a bit to finish the room off with a fresh coat of the above colors.
The purple and teal definitely bring some color to the room. It nicely contrasts the warmer gold tones in the quilt that once were invisible with no headboard. Also, the warmer/not white lamp shapes, give a softer glow to the room.
I still feel the gallery wall isn't perfect. I think a nice warm color on the wall would finish it. But it is much improved with the contemporary side chairs.
We all love the pop of teal with the table lamps and side table.
One of the biggest improvements was the simplest, and that was to just add some drapes to that poor window all alone on the big wall.
Shopping List:
- Drapes 54×95" in Wine
- Drape hardware in Nickel
- Headboard
- Accent chairs
- Accent table in Teal
- Table lamps
- Dresser and nightstands
- Future purchases:
- mirrors behind table lamps on nightstands
- wood wall art

Diogenes Sitting in his Tub by Jean-Léon Gérôme (1860); Image Source
In recent years "minimalism" has been on the rise, especially among millennials. The philosophy is not a new one. For example, influenced by Socrates, the ancient Greek Cynics practiced extreme minimalism, rejecting private property, money, status, power and the myriad social conventions predicated on these. Like modern minimalists, Cynics lived in regular society, in full public view. Like their forefather Socrates, they went without many possessions, but not without people. Despite its name, "Cynicism" was a friendly and social philosophy. The word "Cynic" actually derives from the Greek word for "dog-like" (κυνικός), which highlights the cynics' dog-like way of life. In any case, from the very beginning of civilization people have been challenging the very values upon which civilization as we know it was built.
MINIMALISM AND MORALITY [It takes two to create inequality!]
Unfortunately, minimalism has come under fire for being a "privilege"; only the well-off have the "privilege" of choosing simplicity and simple living. To some extent, this is true. However, social and environmental justice are not achievable unless those with the means to live lavishly choose to live modestly and simply instead — until this becomes a social norm. The fact remains that we live in a country that constitutes less than 5 percent of earth's human population and yet consumes 1/4-1/3 of earth's resources!
But I did not intend to write a post about all the compelling moral reasons for practicing minimalism. I actually want to write about the wonderful practical reasons for practicing minimalism.
WHAT IS MINIMALISM? THE BASICS. [Less is More]
Minimalism is a lot of things. In general, it requires "decluttering" your life in a multitude of ways. So, for example, minimalist bloggers write about letting go of inauthentic or exhausting friendships, in addition to excess material possessions and big houses. They also strategize ways to remove "mental clutter" — by, for example, imbibing less media, meditating and leaving their crazy careers. Minimalists reduce demands on their time, cultivating the ability to not overcommit themselves. They are under-scheduled, not over-scheduled. They avoid the 'busy trap'. They also tend to eschew debt in all its forms, since debt causes people to take on more than they need and to commit to more than they want.
WHAT ARE THE MAIN BENEFITS OF MINIMALISM? [Being present for one's own life]
Basically, minimalists want to be present for their own lives. They tend to value reflection, creativity and meaningful connections and projects above all else — all of which require free time, rather than conventional status and stuff. Anything that does not directly contribute to these ends gets "minimized", sometimes ruthlessly. (For example, many minimalists do without a vehicle, more than one outfit, a smart phone or even Internet at home!) However, the payoff is huge. The payoff is inner peacefulness, joy, real (rather than "fake") friends and "true freedom" — i.e., the freedom to spend one's time actively pursuing one's own agenda rather than playing one's part in the "American Dream".
- All of my worldly belongings fit in or on my vehicle.
- I do not own a smart phone or a TV. (I watch films on my laptop.)
- I read the news once or twice a week (long-form journalism, not soundbites).
- I check out books from my public library. I donate many of the books I purchase.
- I have one social media account at a time, and I sometimes deactivate it.
- I live in a very small house, and I am moving into a studio condo/housing co-op in the city (in close proximity to everywhere I need to go).
- I currently work part-time but save/invest more than I earn. (Check out this blog.)
- I cook vegan fare, using basic spices and oils. I buy local produce or grow my own.
- I plan to eventually use walking, bicycles and buses as my primary means of transportation.
- I try to minimize drama; I have time and energy for healthy relationships.
- I meditate and journal regularly.
- I cut my own hair and make my own lotions. I buy used, especially clothing, cookware, appliances and furniture.
- I have no credit cards and no debt, including a mortgage, car loan or student loan. (I do keep one credit card for emergencies.)
- For long trips I have used Greyhound buses (and plan to do this more!).

Janet Napolitano, former Governor of Arizona and secretary of Homeland Security – Forbes 9th most powerful woman in 2012 – is now the president of the University of California system. By the time she left office in Arizona she had used her power of veto 180 times. While with the Department of Homeland Security she became the focus of controversy over a report she authored called, "Rightwing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment. In this report, Napolitano lists Obama's election, future gun control measures, illegal immigration, economic downturn, abortion and disgruntled veterans as potential risk factors regarding radical right wing extremism recruitment. In 2010 she partnered with Wal-Mart by recording a public service announcement to be broadcast on screens in the stores encouraging shoppers to report any and all suspicious activity to employees. When speaking of her partnership she compared her efforts to the fighting communists during the Cold War. She is also responsible for 'enhanced pat-downs' at airport security that may include the touching of breasts or genitals.
And now she is here, President of University of California school system, where she comfortably makes more money than the President of the United States. As I write this students of UC Berkeley are occupying Wheeler Hall in protest of the 5% tuition increase that was upheld this past Wednesday. Under this increase, tuition for in-state students will rise from $12,192 to $15,564 by 2019. A few months ago Napolitano was at a UC Regents meeting where a group of students began protesting the tuition increases. She turned to Uc regent chairman Bruce Varner and said, "Let's go. We don't have to listen to this crap."
All of this to give you a grasp on the kind of individual Janet Napolitano is.
There were recently held faculty leadership seminars for the 2014-2015 school year.
The seminar goals, taken from the University of California Office of the President, are as follows:
- Help participants gain a better understanding of implicit bias and microaggressions and their impact on departmental/school climate
- Increase participants effectiveness at recognizing and interrupting/addressing microaggressions as they occur.
- Discuss tools and strategies for developing and inclusive departmental/school climate
Well, that all sounds well and good. But what exactly are these 'Microaggressions'?
Taken from the same website is this:
Microaggressions are the everyday verbal, nonverbal and environmental slights, snubs, or insults, whether intentional or unintentional, that communicate hostile, derogatory, or negative messages to target persons based solely upon their marginalized group membership. The first step in addressing microaggressions is to recognize when a microaggression has occurred and what message it may be sending. The context of the relationship and situation is critical.
Here are some microaggression samples and the message that they imply, per the PDF file on the website:
"Where are you from?
"Where were you born?"
Asking a person to teach you words in their native language
Meaning: You are not a true American and/or
You are a perpetual foreigner in your own country
"Wow! How did you become so good in math?"
Meaning: People of color are generally not as intelligent as whites
"I would've never guessed that you were a scientist!"
Meaning: It is unusual for a woman to have strong mathematical skills
"When I look at you, I don't see color."
"There is only one race, the human race."
"America is a melting pot."
"I don't believe in race."
Meaning: Denying the significance of a person of color's racial/ethnic experience and history and/or denying the individual as a racial/cultural being
"Men and women have equal opportunities for achievement."
"Gender plays no part in who we hire."
Meaning: The playing field is even. If women can't make it, the problem's with them
"Everyone can succeed in this society if they work hard enough."
Meaning: People of color are lazy and/or incompetent and need to work harder
"I believe the most qualified person should get the job."
Meaning: People of color are given unfair benefits because of their race
These sessions were initiated by Ms. Napolitano in an effort not only to ensure that teachers have the wherewithal to avoid offending students and peers but to also make sure that more diverse faculties are hired. During these seminars, department chairs and deans alike were instructed to be very careful when considering using phrases and language such as those listed above.
In a paper titled 'Racial microaggressions as a tool for critical race research', Lindsay Perez Huber and Daniel G. Solarzano tell us that "Racial microaggressions are a form of systemic, everyday racism used to keep those at the racial margins in their place." They identify this everyday racism as follows: "verbal and non-verbal assaults directed at people of color, often carried out in subtle, automatic or unconscious forms." They are "layered assaults based on race and its intersections with gender, class, sexuality, language, immigration status, phenotype, accent, or surname" and that "cumulative assaults take a psychological, physiological and academic toll on people of color."
Don't we all experience 'subtle or unconscious assaults'? Does this begin and end with race? I never graduated from college and have worked as a bartender for the past decade. I used to count the number of time in an evening that someone would ask me what my real job is, or what I hope to become when I'm through with school. I can't possibly just a bartender. At my age?!
Perez Huber and Solarzano continue that these microaggressions are "mediated by institutionalized racism (i.e. structures and processes), and guided by ideologies of white supremacy that justify the superiority of a dominant group (whites) over non-dominant groups (people of color). I will add that in the print copy of this paper, 'people of color' is capitalized and 'whites' is not.
This paper is drawn primarily from the work of Dr. Chester Pierce, who first introduced the term 'microaggression' in 1970. His conceptual development for the term was expressed in 1969 when he wrote, "What is needed, for example, is a sweeping new theoretical concept… the poor black may need care based on other models such as the negotiation of 'offensive mechanisms. To be black in the United States today means to be socially minimized. For each day blacks are victims of white 'offensive mechanisms' which are designed to reduce, dilute, atomize, and encase the hapless into his 'place'.The incessant lesson the black must hear is that he is insignificant and irrelevant."
A year later, he transitions this 'sweeping new theoretical concept' into the term microaggression by writing "Most offensive actions are not gross or crippling. They are subtle and stunning. The enormity of the complications they cause can be appreciated only when one considers that these subtle blows are are delivered incessantly. Even though any single negotiation of offense can in justice be considered of itself to be relatively innocuous, the cumulative effect on the victim and to the victimizer is of an unimaginable magnitude. Hence, the therapist is obliged to pose the idea that offensive mechanisms are usually a micro-aggression."
Finally in 2000, while writing an encyclopedia entry on 'Blacks, Stress In', Pierce and his colleagues tell us:
"Microaggressions, the major and inescapable expression of racism in the United States, take a cumulative toll on black individuals. Their lingering intractability is a major contributor to the continuing traumatic stress suffered by blacks as individuals and as a group."
This concept is the framework for what Perez Huber and Solarzano are contributing to California and beyond.

Our Services
There are many ways and myriad reasons for women to honor and embrace all that they are. And when any individual woman chooses to do so, all women collectively move closer to becoming what they are truly capable of being. By honoring her experience and being willing to share it with others—both male and female—she teaches as she learns. When she can trust herself and her inner voice, she teaches those around her to trust her as well. Clasping hands with family members and friends, coworkers and strangers in a shared walk through the journey of life, she allows all to see the self-respect she possesses and accepts their respect, too, that is offered through look, word, and deed.
When a woman can look back into her past, doing so without regret and instead seeing only lessons that brought her to her current strength and wisdom, she embraces the fullness of her experience. She helps those around her to build upon the past as she does. And when she chooses to create her desires, she places her power in the present and moves forward with life into the future.
Seeing her own divinity, a woman learns to recognize the divinity in all women. She then can see her body as a temple, appreciating its feminine form and function, regardless of what age or stage of life she finds herself. She can enjoy all that it brings to her experience and appreciate other women and their experiences as well. Rather than seeing other women as competition, she can look around her to see the cycle of life reflected in the beauty of her sisters, reminding her of her own radiance should she ever forget. She can then celebrate all the many aspects that make her a being worthy of praise, dancing to express the physical, speaking proudly to express her intellect, sharing her emotions, and leading the way with her spiritual guidance. Embracing her womanhood, she reveals the facets that allow her to shine with the beauty and strength of a diamond to illuminate her world.
TTF is about connecting the dots. The following quote might be of comfort to some people. The author is talking why some people are better than other at bouncing back from adversity than others. One of the common traits that she found when interviewing resilient people is their spirituality and she defines it as:
"Spirituality is recognizing and celebrating that we are all inextricably connected to each other by a power greater than all of us, and that our connection to that power and to one another is grounded in love and compassion. Practicing spirituality brings a sense of perspective, meaning and purpose to our lives."

Some trends in the design of social media include; bold & clean typography, hand-drawn graphics and icons and the use of mobile apps such as Canva and Adobe Spark.
- Bold & Clean Typography: Aaron Draplin uses a lot of bold typography in his social media posts. The bold typography helps gain our attention. View more of these types of posts on his Instagram account. Another example is a wedding planner. Her social media posts use the same typefaces to make a clean and beautiful social media site. You can view more of these type of posts here.
- Hand-Drawn Graphics & Icons
Another people social media design is using hand-drawn graphics and icons. Using the hand-drawn icons create a friendly and happy atmosphere. One example is dropbox. They use bright and fun colors with the icons and graphics to create a happy environment. Many of their twitter posts include images of hand-drawn graphics and icons as well. View an example here.
3. Using mobile phone apps such as Canva and Adobe Spark to create well designed social media posts. Many people are starting to use these apps to create good designs without the huge price tag of a designer.
Strategies to engage fans/customers on social media include expressing with emoticons and asking fans questions. The Zappos page sometimes uses emojis to engage with their customers. Pages like the Social Media Examiner and Squishable often ask questions to their customers and fans. For example, Squishable is a company that makes stuffed animals of all kind and they ask questions of what they want to see next.
Strategies to acquire new followers on social media include, mentioning your location and using the right hashtags. Mentioning your location can help bring other local people to your account. For example, I tagged Stevenson University in a photo I posted on Instagram and my picture was re-posted. Another way to acquire new followers on social media is following hashtag trends and using the right hashtags. Here is an image below from this Instagram Marketing page showing the current top 20 hashtags on Instagram.
Two well designed and successful Facebook pages are L.L Bean and Adobe. L.L. Bean has a well designed and successful page because of the beautiful imagery paired with each of the posts. The beautiful images help to engage the fans and customers. The Adobe page is very well designed because of the imagery of artists work, photography and more to show the creative field. Most creatives come to Adobe for their inspiration. And going to their facebook page would be helpful for designers to be influenced by inspiration.

By Irvine Welsh.
Norton, paper, $13.
"Choose life," says Mark Renton, the central character in Irvine Welsh's clunky though blisteringly funny first novel (originally published in Britain in 1993), which is set in the working-class fringes of Edinburgh. "Choose mortgage payments; choose washing machines; choose cars; choose sitting oan a couch watching mind-numbing and spirit-crushing game shows, stuffing . . . junk food intae yir mooth. Choose rotting away . . . in a home, a total . . . embarrassment tae the selfish . . . brats ye've produced." Rents, as he is known among the circle of no-hopers he calls friends, wants to turn his back on his dead-end, drug-filled world, but he can't seem to face the alternative. Writing in a style considerably darker and more impenetrable than that of his Booker-Prize-winning countryman James Kelman, Mr. Welsh seems less concerned with developing a coherent narrative than with exploring his mob of resolutely nihilistic characters. Yet even with the help of a glossary that explains slang terms like "barry" (great) and "nondy" (stupid), American readers will be none the wiser when it comes to deciphering the significance of the title, which plays on the common ground between the self-absorbed worlds of railway enthusiasts and junkies. The book's much hyped celluloid cousin may help, but don't abandon everything for the movie. It's worth making the effort with "Trainspotting" not merely because relatively few writers have rummaged through this particular enclave of British youth culture, but because even fewer have dug there so deeply.

Following their victory in the 1958 Quarter-final tie in Belgrade, the plane carrying the Manchester United team back to England needed to stop at Munich to refuel. When they touched down in Germany they were met by blizzard conditions with snow and ice covering the runway and beyond. Conditions were obviously hazardous and once the aircraft was refuelled there were two attempts to take off once more, both of which were aborted due to engine problems. Most of the party assumed that they would have to stay in Munich until the next day when the weather might have cleared – Duncan Edwards sent a telegram home to his landlady to this effect – but it was decided to have one more try at getting the plane airborne.
On the third attempt, the aeroplane overshot the runway, went through a fence and crossed a road before one of the wings struck a house. This caused the wing and some of the tail to be torn off while the house burst into flames. The cockpit struck a tree and the fuselage hit a wooden hut containing a truck loaded with fuel and tyres which exploded. Seven of the players were killed instantly – Roger Byrne, Geoff Bent, Mark Jones, David Pegg, Liam Whelan, Eddie Colman and Tommy Taylor – as well as the club secretary, the first team trainer , the first team coach, eight sportswriters, one of the aircrew and two other passengers. Three weeks later both the aircraft captain and Duncan Edwards, one of the most promising young players ever to come out of England, lost their battle for life.
Manchester went into a state of mourning as news of the tragedy began to filter through and sympathy poured in from all corners of Great Britain, Europe and indeed the whole world. The manager Matt Busby survived but he was seriously ill and was not told about the deaths of so many of his players for some weeks so as not to adversely affect his chances of survival. The following weekend saw silences in memory of those who had died being observed throughout the continent, with 'Abide With Me' being sung before kick-off at many English grounds. 200,000 mourners lined the streets of Manchester to greet the return of the players bodies. The President of Red Star Belgrade proposed that United be declared honorary champions of Europe for the year, while the great Hungarian players, Ferenc Puskas, Zoltan Czibor and Sandor Kocsis telephoned Old Trafford to offer their help.
Many more messages and offers came in from around the world, but none of this could alter the fact that the Busby Babes were no more - the heart had been ripped out of the team and although United bravely managed to reach the FA Cup Final that season, any further progress in Europe would prove beyond them. They were drawn against Milan in the semi-finals and, although their patched up side – which also lacked Bobby Charlton who was away on international duty – showed great character in coming back from being a goal down to win the first leg at Old Trafford by 2-1, they were beaten by four goals in the return game and it was the Italians who proceeded to the final in Brussels.

Cairn Box November 2016
I'm a little late in getting the Cairn Box November 2016 review published, my apologies. There were a total of 5 items in this one, with a value of over $45. The headliner was the 2-pack of Mission Vaporactive boxer briefs, followed by the Cabin Fever Bandana, the Salazon Chocolates and another cool Cairn Sticker.
Here are a few more details about each piece of gear in this months box..
Mission Vaporactive Boxer Brief 2-Pack
These ultra quick drying athletic boxers have a patented cooling system called '37.5'. They infuse the fabric with active particles that speed the evaporation and cooling process.
The 2-pack has a black and grey pair, they feel similar to spandex and are quite tight and supportive. I've never owned a pair before but was really pleased with how they felt throughout the day.
Cabin Fever Bandana
This is as multi purpose as it gets. A bandana for your head, neck or table that folds out into a game board for checkers, chess, tic tac toe, marbles and dots & boxes.
Find some stones or pine cones for game pieces and play on playa. Then snap it and wrap it around your head when your done.
Salazon Organic Chocolate Bars
Salted. Organic. Dark. SOLD! This was my first experience with Salazon chocolate and they are excellent. At least that's what my wife told me. She doesn't even like dark chocolate and yet they disappeared rather fast.
Cairn Sticker
I love that Cairn has so many different stickers. I've gotten a different one each time and it's fun finding a place to stick them.
Value Check
There are several different subscription levels, I chose the $25 per month. Cairn claims that each box is full of gear valued at $35 to $40. Let's see how this one measures up:
Retail Price
Mission Vaporactive Boxer Briefs 2-pack
Cabin Fever Bandana
Salazon Chocolate Bars
Total Value
Wow! The Cairn Box November 2016 (at the $25 level) really crushed it this month in terms of value. Over $45 worth of gear! If you are interested in looking into a subscription I would recommend you check out the Cairn site. They have several subscription levels and special boxes that make great gifts.

Tesla Model S Catches Fire in Toronto "Without Apparent Cause"The Tesla Model S is the most successful push for the electric car on the roads today. However, the young auto-maker has come into some hot water lately with a couple of it's cars being involved in major fires.
A Toronto man reportedly found his Tesla Model S on fire shortly after he had parked it in his garage after returning from a drive. The vehicle was apparently not charging or operating when the fire started. There have been instances in the past when Model S's have gone up in flames after a major accident, however, this is the first such instance where the car has caught fire while sitting idol in a garage and not charging.
Fire-fighters investigate the blaze of the Tesla Model S in Toronto.
Tesla seems to have responded to the situation swiftly by dispatching a team to investigate the cause of the incident. Tesla also offered the owner of the charred Model S to "take care of the damages and inconveniences cause by the fire, but the owner declined." Tesla has reported that they have determined that the cause of the fire could not have been related to the batteries, the charging system, the adapter or the electrical receptacle. They claim that these components were untouched by the fire. Tesla employees are working to determine the precise cause of the fire.
The Model S has come in to much debate lately with several instances of the vehicle catching fire.
This is really an unfortunate story as it takes the progress of the electric vehicles a step back. Along with that it creates further fear within the auto consumer towards this technology that's clearly in it's infancy. Sure it's got it's kinks, but then again we've made the internal combustion engine safe over the past century, hopefully we can give the electric car a bit more of a chance to redeem itself.
Check out our review of the Tesla Model S, here.

Not yet Branded? Top 10 Brands for Sale
Posted on 08. Feb, 2010 by freelanceshack in Lists, Marketing, Motivation
Have you ever struggled with finding a brand? Come on, be honest. We've all hit that point where we've either been thinking of a brand that we could call our own or questioning the brand we've tried to keep going. There are websites our there that help freelancers, like me and you, ind a brand that has already been set up. Websites such as 99designs, Brandstack, and BrandBucket have hundreds of pre-designed brands that are for sale by designers. I dare you to visit one of these websites and not spend hours going through all of the brands in amazement. Please ignore my last post of wasting time online but I seriously have spent way to much time looking through the logos of brands, trying to figure out what businesses to start up in order to be able to use it.
These sites are great for looking into even if it's just for a good idea or two. Part of the way I work is by inspiration and these websites have provided more than enough inspiration for me and my co-workers to work on throughout the day. I've pick some of my favorites and posted them below. Let me know if you find some that you like…let the branding begin!
Fresh Hound - Calling all pet enthusiasts. Animal brands are always a plus in my mind because they allow you to add some personality and emotion to your logo with a mascot. I like this logo because it is simple yet sleek. The font and the logo complement each other nicley.
Agency Ink – What a cool logo! Seriously, having this brand to put towards your marketing, printing, or branding company would be fun and easy to work with. The small splash of color in the tie allows for the perfect accent.
Upstruction - Are you a contractor? This brand screams sleek and fresh construction. Applying this brand towards your local construction company symbolizes the style with the logo and uniqueness with the name.
Orange Reel – This brand would work well with most video production companies wanting to add a little bit of juice to their brand. The colors and sleek look of the logo makes this brand fun and enjoyable.
Design Mutt – Again with the animal mascot. This brand could be used for any type of design firm. Clients will find this logo and name easy to remember and will come barking your way for work…yeah, I said it.
Big a Bite – Hosting company or burger stand? This logo is a great reference to the media storage term of gigabyte which could be branded into a cloud hosting site type business. But lets not forget the juicy, double cheeseburger with perhaps wireless internet to bring the two-part logo to life. Just a thought now.
Buxio – The made up word suggest money "bucks" and the logo's color highly suggests that this brand be used in the financial industry.
Media Labs – This brand is another one of those "fun to look at" brands that I find appealing. Whether it's a software company or an online video site, Media Labs could be a catch name for your customers.
Paper Cups – By far the most unique logo in this batch because of the uniqueness of the drawing. I need some help deciding what to use this brand for but it wins in my book for creativity.
Harmony – This logo is both inviting to the customer and shows perhaps the "green" side of you. This brand could be used for many different industries and businesses. You pick

It is human nature that people get old and seek medical care. Each year, the number of patients confined in hospital facilities increases. This is the reason why there's an increase in job positions related to the nursing field. Specifically, CNAs are the types being targeted to join the growing medical establishments.
It is in the training program that you will gain knowledge of all the necessary things you need to know about being a nursing aide. Cost of training varies from city to city; the majority of programs in Douglas is actually quite high at $1000, while there are those which sit at $400 like in Douglas. If you want to avoid these costs, you can tend to avail of free CNA training anywhere.
Medical establishments and even online schools are notable for providing free CNA classes. Typically, these hospitals and nursing facilities offer free classes with a goal of getting skilled employees which can benefit their organization. The corresponding training fees are the same as hiring a new employee to work as CNA, so offering free classes is a better move. Some establishments may even ask you to work for them following the training. The local employment office is also one place where you can find great training offers. In Douglas, this information is always being presented to the public. Also, the state offers various scholarship grant programs for CNA hopefuls. This is the scenario in Wyoming.
State governments also fund CNA scholarship programs. You will be assured that your CNA training course will be covered. And lastly, who will ever disregard the power of the web? Free training sessions along with free food, no fare, and no unnecessary disruptions is simply amazing. With the large scope of the web, you are a stride closer to obtaining reliable free CNA training that will help secure your future in the health care industry.Author: Paula Shelton

Leitmotif vs Motif
What do you think of the idea communicated through this video? Using your reason, imagination, emotion and other 'Ways of Knowing' (Theory of Knowledge) discuss in your class why this is…
Why does Marvel allow their music to work this way? Do you have an answer?
If we go back to 1830 for a famous work entitled 'Symphonie Fantastique' by Heitor Berlioz, one of the first big instances of a Leitmotif or Idee Fixe can be found.
(Fourth Movement Example)
This melody (a fixed idea), represents the object of his affection who did not return his love. This melody is repeated, changed and reworked (although still recognisable) within each of the five movements. See the worksheet and video score below for more:
Here it is again but in short sections throughout the whole five movements:
Now compare this idea of the Leitmotif (or fixed idea) to John Williams' work entitled Reys' Theme. You will see clear motivic repetition, development and the extension of Rey's Theme in the orchestration:
In your classroom discuss what makes John Williams' composition better than that of the music from the Marvel Universe. Is it the character leitmotifs/Fixed Ideas? Their orchestration? a combination of everything or something more?

Part of living a One-Planet lifestyle is, if you can avoid it, not driving (in a car) long-distance trips or (in a plane) short-distance trips -- like DC to Philly or to NY. Those drives can be especially crazy-making. I shudder to remember one especially bad DC to Boston drive with an ex- that went on for over 16 hours, including three hours on the George Washington Bridge, which then necessitated parking the car on a median in the Bronx to race across an off-ramp to pee at the only place we'd seen in the last 5 miles which all we had traveled in 4 hours, proceeded into hours of anxiety and more traffic, and ended in tears with us missing an event she had her heart set on making. Kinda the story of the relationship actually -- being uncomfortably stuck in the middle, halfway from where we were and where we wanted to be...
Lest I digress, trains have their own hassles -- not very much faster than buses, there's more of a process with tickets, coach can feel almost as crowded as a bus on busy days/times, and coach seats aren't much bigger than bus seats, and go underground in lots of places so phone calls or 3G internet drops, they depart late more often than buses, and if there are track problems or an incident you can just be stuck on board awhile. Yes, trains are nicer but at 10-25% of the cost -- even though I can afford either now -- unless time is of the essence, bus is still actually how I prefer to go if I'm paying for the trip out of my own pocket.
But that said -- a really bad bus ride can suck worse than anything, so I thought I'd share my experience...
General Long Distance Bus Tips
All common sense I suppose, but I learned the hard way on all of them. But if I keep this stuff in mind, the bus experiences have been fine and I can actually arrive reasonably fresh and happy with any of the companies.
DC to NY
I have used New Century and Fung Wah and Greyhound and Peter Pan many times. All of these are fine enough if you follow the tips above, but I prefer the Chinatown buses -- they are faster and leave from Chinatown in DC, a better neighborhood than north of Union Station where the Greyhound terminal is. Also Greyhounds and Peter Pan often stop to pick up/discharge passengers 3 or 4 times and have fewer departures. Chinatown lines have 10-15 buses a day, and there's usually just a short stop in Baltimore and longer one in Delaware at a Roy Rogers in south Jersey. All now go to the Port Authority or Penn Station in NY, and Chinatown lines also have ones that drop off in Chinatown -- which is really convenient if you're headed to Brooklyn or the Lower East Side.
From the Yelp reviews of the newer lines, TripperBus looks interesting and Vamoose gets rave reviews, but they both only leave from Rosslyn and Bethesda. Boltbus and Megabus both leave from H and 11th St NW in DC, and get fair to good reviews. Going to try Boltbus next time myself -- if you plan in advance, there's a $1 ticket on every bus. They have a fleet of newer buses, mostly 2008 their website says, with power outlets, and have configured them for more legroom. As of April 7, they only posted their schedule through May 12 -- and still had $10 tickets available. Only Washington Deluxe and DC2NY have Dupont Circle stops, and DC2NY gets better ratings.
Yelp reviews
Have a Happy Ride
"Most people are about as happy as they make up their minds to be"
-- Abe Lincoln
Write me if you hear of any other lines worth checking out or have any more tips to share, always glad to hear it.
Thanks Katherine for the inspiration!

Susan B Anthony Birthplace Msm
This rural, Federal-style home was the birthplace and childhood home of Susan Brownell Anthony, an advocate for temperance and the rights of women. She was born in 1820 and lived in the house until the age of seven. She later returned here several times throughout her life. Anthony's family had a long tradition in the Quaker Society of Friends, and she was raised to value the precepts of society, humility, simplicity, and in particular, equality. Anthony received a broad education and undoubtedly incorporated the instruction she received in this rural home into her later career.
As an adult, Anthony went on to be educated as a teacher in Philadelphia and taught in various schools from 1835 to 1860, earning 1/3 of the salary paid to her male cohorts. Frustrated by the restrictions placed on her because of her gender, Anthony moved to her family's home in New York in 1849. There, she became an associate of Fredrick Douglass and William Lloyd Garrison, leaders in the anti-slavery movement before the Civil War. Already an advocate of temperance and a good friend of Elizabeth Cady Stanton, she also endorsed rights for women and in 1869 helped found the National Woman's Suffrage Association. Anthony cast a ballot in the 1872 presidential election and was arrested and fined $100 by a judge who directed the jury to find her guilty. She refused to pay, but because the judgment was never enforced, she could not appeal to the Supreme Court.
In 1892, she became the National Woman's Suffrage Association's president. Susan B. Anthony did not live to see women get the right to vote, for she died in 1906, 13 years before the 19th amendment was passed.

Jones Nose Trailhead
Jones Nose Trail is a 1 mile moderately trafficked out and back trail located near Lanesborough, Massachusetts that features beautiful wild flowers and is rated as moderate. The trail offers a number of activity options and is best used from April until September.
Located in the Mt. Greylock State Reservation, the Jones Nose Trail, (trailhead in the Jones Nose parking lot off of Rockwell Road) is a 1.5m out and back trail or can be used as a link trail to access the AT North to summit Mt. Greylock (+2.9 miles) Jones Nose trail begins with a gradual ascent across open meadows to its peak where, on a clear day, there are spectacular views. The meadow is full of various wildflowers and this part of the trail is on the easier side of moderate. It then enters a forested area where the trail becomes narrow and rocky and increases in difficulty. It intersects with the AT North (take for another 2.9m to summit Greylock and pass over Saddle Ball Mounain) or follow the CCC Dynamite Trail (very overgrown) toward Sperry Road.

Ashuwillticook Rail Trail H.Q.
The Ashuwillticook Rail Trail is a former railroad corridor converted into a 10-foot wide paved, universally accessible, passive recreation path. The Ashuwillticook runs parallel to Route 8 through the towns of Cheshire, Lanesborough and Adams. The southern end of the rail trail begins at the entrance to the Berkshire Mall off MA Rte. 8 in Lanesborough and travels 11.2 miles north to the center of Adams. Parking lots and restrooms are available at selected locations along the way.
The rail trail passes through the Hoosic River Valley, between the Mount Greylock and the Hoosac Mountain Ranges. Cheshire Reservoir, the Hoosic River, and associated wetlands flank much of the trail offering outstanding views of the scenery and abundant wildlife. The name Ashuwillticook (ash-oo-will-ti-cook) derives from the Native American word for the south branch of the Hoosic River and literally means "at the in-between pleasant river," or in common tongue, "the pleasant river in between the hills." The name was adopted for the trail as a way to reconnect people to local history and the natural environment.

Let me tell you a little about my experience using CLA someone recomended this to me and it really worked to get rid of my belly fat… but after a month or so my hair started falling off really bad, of course I was scared when looking at the amount of hair I was losing and I'm talking about severe hair loss not 50-100 strands of hair. To make the story short I found out I had developed insuline resistence these pills affect the way we process sugar but it would have worked wonders if I had been healthy to begin with and this just made it worst so always consult your doctor if someone in your family has diabetes. It took about 6-8 weeks for me to see a difference in my hairloss but for anyone concered about hairloss caused by CLA it will get better I promise !
I purchased the total lean protein podwer…cookies and cream….and planning on tasting french vanilla…but I been doing great ..I have one for breakfast on the go and 1 during lunch time….it makes it easier for me to get my protein and still not be hunger….and for dinner I have a my dinner…I a salad plate of whatever I'm going to eat…nothing …different of my dinner had to change…but my portion size cause I change my plate size…which don't give me room to put much food on my plate….so I've been on it for 2 weeks and I lost 5 lbs…..I drink plenty of the day..and after shake..because of it thickness…for digesting…but I'm going to try the vegan vegetable and the French vanilla together with 1 scoop each….to get my vegetable in take when I'm not eating enough veggies…I would probably be on this product for long term….it's easy…and satisfying…for on the go.

How to prevent thrush
Thrush is a disease that offers little pleasant. It can be caused by plenty of various factors. You never know when you are protected from it.
But you aren't certainly helpless. You can take prophylactic measures. Here are some of them:
- Wear loose-fitting cotton underwear. Choosing synthetic thong is the best what you can do for Candida fungus. The less often you wear thong the better. And there are lots of nice-looking panties of other styles, too.
- Eat less candy. Why? Because sugar causes fermentation.
- Fungi live well in alkaline medium and can't survive in acidic environment. So, instead of usual soap use special gels for intimate hygiene. To keep the acidic medium in vagina and increase the population of good bacteria, doctors often prescribe to insert a tampon wet in natural yogurt into vagina for night time.
- Drink kefir to boost immunity.
- Sleep enough hours to be strong to resist stress.
- panties
- Bra and panties
- white lace bra
