Tassal, TAS
Mark Ryan is a respected business leader and an economic visionary for Tasmania. Mark is a proud and passionate Tasmanian with a significant belief in the state and its many natural attributes.
One of Mark's core values is 'Zero Harm for Everyone, Everywhere' and his success as CEO of Tassal has been achieved with a strong focus on sustainability.
Environmental sustainability is central to Tassal's business. It is core to planning and decision making to help further benefit the Tasmanian economy and Tassal's employees. This focus has contributed meaningfully to the culture of the company and has supported operational excellence and pride in the workplace.
In 2012 under Mark's leadership, Tassal partnered with WWF-Australia, part of the world's largest conservation organisation. The partnership with WWF, along with Mark's passion for sustainability, led Tassal to become the first producer of farmed salmon in the world to achieve full Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC) certification across all sites in November 2014. ASC certification is the highest standard for responsibly-farmed seafood in the world and provides credible, third party validation to consumers that they are purchasing seafood from farms that limit impacts on the environment.
As CEO of WWF-Australia, I am extremely proud of our partnership with Tassal, and the many accomplishments made to date under the leadership of Mark Ryan. I am delighted to nominate Mark for this award and I look forward, personally to continuing to work with him and Tassal in the future.

Hi, I imported the fullscreen presentation. I managed to put one image on the slider then all the code disappeared so I couldn't find anywhere to edit the headline. So there is an opaque line across the picture that I can neither edit not get rid of.
Then the portfolio will not behave. The images are all over the place instead of sitting in a grid.
Please can you help.
Website in development: URL etc to follow
This reply has been marked as private.
Oh, one more issue. The logo won't show up on the home page.
Oh and just realised something else is not right. All portfolio items lead to a page with a 404
error. What's happening?

Please check below the steps taken to fix your issues:
-Logo: i added this custom css into your custom css box:
#logo img.dark { display: block !important; visibility: visible !important; }
-Links: I resetted permalinks in Settings > Permalinks from "Day and Name" to "Postname". I checked they are ok now. Please clear cache and refresh pages.
-Portfolio items grid: i added this code into your custom css box:
.three-cols .portfolio-item { min-height: 390px !important; }
Let us know if you need further help.
Best regards!
Hi,Thanks for all that. The only thing is that the opaque line I mentioned on the home page is still there. The shortcode for it has disappeared from the page so there is nowhere for me to be able to edit or delete it. I would like to be able to edit if possible. But if not possible I need to remove it. thanks

You are using a codeless slider in home page. The white opaque strip is the place where the title and text of the slide would be. But you have not added any content to it. Check it at Codeless Slider Options > Slide > Content (screenshot).
To remove it, i changed the opacity of the color to full transparent by adding this custom css Into your custom css box:
.codeless_slider .swiper-slide .content.vertical_centered { opacity: 0; }
Let us know.
Best regards!

A few weeks ago, I had the lovely experience of being interviewed by Fashiola as part of their 'Bloggers We Love' section and this is just a quick update to let you know that the post is now live! We chatted about a bunch of exciting things, including all the gossip on my favourite shops, bloggers, trends, fashion must-haves and even a sneak peek at what's currently on my wishlist.
If this is the first time you've come across www.fashiola.co.uk, their website is essentially a huge 'fashion-finder' search engine, with hundreds of popular (and smaller) brands, such as AX Paris, Superdry, Topshop etc, all in one place so you can shop more efficiently without having to browse several different websites at once.
I had great fun answering their questions, so thanks guys! I hope you all enjoy reading what I had to say below...

We are collecting parents' views ourselves this year rather than through the Ofsted ParentView site so that we can ask a wider range of questions and get comments from parents and carers. Thank you to the 104 people who responded to our recent Parent Survey. This feedback has been very useful in monitoring our progress. Several of you took the chance to make comments, which have provided useful specific information. A few parents talked about personal issues which we cannot follow up as they were given anonymously. Please do contact me or your child's tutor if this was you.
I am delighted to say that we improved in 8 out of the 11 areas compared with last year and remained the same in 3 areas. In no area had we gone backwards. In particular, your feedback shows improvement overall in the quality of teaching, the progress you feel your child is making, the feedback you receive and the quality of leadership.
You have said that most children feel safe at school, are well-taught and are making good progress. This is very pleasing.
The areas which emerged as your priorities for further improvement were:
You said:
We will:
Can we address any poor behaviour and bullying more quickly
We will improve our Behaviour Policy to ensure that there is a fully consistent approach in every classroom and outside. We will communicate this to parents in the next few weeks and have assemblies and tutorials to explain this to students. We have also had Anti-Bullying assemblies recently which sent a clear message to students. As well as demonstrating that we deal with any behaviour that does not match our Respect value, we also have more ways to ensure that students can come forward with any concerns. Our first ever team of Peer Mentors is in place, led by school counsellor Rachel Birks, who will be available for students as well as our pastoral Support Workers.
The quantity of homework is not right
(mostly too much but some said too little) We will review this. Please contact your child's tutor if you have specific concerns.
There is not enough extra-curricular sport
We will review this
Keep the website up-to-date
We are aiming to update key areas faster now
One question was about the early finish on a Wednesday – this was introduced at Henry Box and Wood Green twenty years ago to save money and the current budget cuts make it hard to reinstate the normal Wednesday finish. In fact many more schools across the country are considering doing the same, until our schools are better funded.
There were some very positive comments about the school which were appreciated. Most pleasing was the increase in how many of you would recommend Wood Green School to another parent, which has gone from 82% in 2013/14 to 92% this year. Our aim is to continue to make Wood Green a place for happy and successful students and staff, with happy parents. Your support is very important to us.
Thank you again for responding. We will repeat this later in the year, when year 7 parents have had more experience of our school.

The Argon 18 Gallium Pro is the jewel in the Canadian company's crown - a perfect balance of comfort and high-end performance.
From world tour proven race machine to world tour race winning machine!
The gallium pro 2018 is a design evolution of this already amazing, very light and comfortable bike model. New, state of the art technology in both 3D modeling and carbon molding bring this new 2018 version of the gallium pro to the next level.
Optimal Balance - Optimal Balance is the design and fabrication philosophy behind all of Argon 18's bikes. It is the subtle alchemy of lightness, rigidity, comfort and aerodynamics.
The result: a high-performance bike that is easy to ride, that handles well when climbing and is quick off the mark. What's more, it provides the rider with a feeling of satisfaction without any unwanted fatigue. Much more than a simple idea, Optimal Balance is the result of over 25 years of research and development—expertise which reinforces Argon 18's reputation as a world leader in high-end bikes and technology.
AFS - Argon Fit System - Argon 18's expertise in geometry is based on Gervais Rioux's vast experience as a professional cyclist and a bike shop owner as well as extensive research and development. The Argon Fit System (AFS) is designed to provide riders of all physical dimensions with consistent performance and optimal ergonomics. No matter what your morphology or your racing style, your positioning will always be efficient and comfortable, ensuring the ultimate in handling.
Positioning and Geometry - At Argon 18, we design our bikes by breaking the frame down into eight distinct sections, each with a specific role. As the length of the frame increases so does the length of each section. This preserves the bike's well-balanced proportions and ensures that all our frames, regardless of size, have ideal ergonomics and flawless handling.
3D System - Argon 18's exclusive 3D System is a clever mechanical solution that extends the headtube for more positioning options. Three headtube positions are possible for every frame size; this increases rigidity by 5% at 15mm and 11% at 25mm, versus traditional spacers. With this system, the handlebar height can be perfectly adjusted to meet the needs and preferences of every rider.
HDS - Horizontal Dual System - With its Horizontal Dual System (HDS), Argon 18 has succeeded in combining rigidity and comfort, qualities that are typically seen as mutually exclusive. The basic idea is simple: our frame tubes are each designed for a specific purpose.
Argon's lightest frame ever - Sitting at 794 g*, we pushed the limit of their carbon layup. *painted medium frame, all hardware parts included.
Up to 28mm tire clearance - For maximum comfort and compatibility
New and improved fork - Lighter, but just as nimble as stiff and comfortable
Painstaking attention to details - From small parts to redesigned cable routing, no details were overlooked
Geometry based on Argon's world tour proven race bike - Tried and tested on the roads of the biggest world tour races
All rounder road and climbing bike - For an ultimate riding experience
Refined 27.2 seatpost - Easy-to-use, offers more compliance, adjustability and comfort
3D system - Offers three head tube heights for every frame size without sacrificing any rigidity; system preserves 5% and 11% more incremental frontal rigidity vs. Standard spacers when the handlebar is set at 15mm and 25mm respectively
BB86 - For better stiffness and power transfer
Seatpost: ASP-6600 Carbon Seatpost
Headset: FSA 37+3D
Riveted Front Derailleur Hanger
Tire Clearance: 28mmBike Geometry
Argon 18 is a Canadian cycle manufacturer founded in 1989 by Gervais Rioux in Montreal, Quebec. The name is derived from the element, which is number 18 on the periodic table of elements; it's also one of six natural noble gases. After retiring as a rider, ex-Olympian Rioux opened a bike shop, where the brand was born. In 2001 they produced their first carbon frame and the brand is now distributed in 31 countries. Argon 18 sponsors German pro cycling team Bora-Argon 18 and debuted at the Tour de France in 2015.

Let me introduce myself. My name is Mark Sisson. I'm 63 years young. I live and work in Malibu, California. In a past life I was a professional marathoner and triathlete. Now my life goal is to help 100 million people get healthy. I started this blog in 2006 to empower people to take full responsibility for their own health and enjoyment of life by investigating, discussing, and critically rethinking everything we've assumed to be true about health and wellness...Tell Me More
Today's post is offered up by Dr. Dana Leigh Lyons, certified Primal Health Coach and author of Sugar Addiction: 5 Healing Steps.
Why, despite knowing the consequences, do we keep reaching for that extra piece (or two or three) of chocolate?
Well, let's face it. For many of us, sugar addiction began when we were kids. Breaking a sugar habit is so hard! But it's totally possible.
Sure, you could do it on your own…but as a Chinese Medicine doctor and health coach, I've found that personalized support and accountability are what make the most difference for most people.
That's where a Primal Health Coach comes in! They can help you overcome sugar addiction and get you where you want to be with health and eating. Here's how.Read More
In recent years, I've regularly vouched for the gut as our long-abused secondary brain. Given what most of us grew up learning in school, it can feel like a mammoth shift. Science and philosophy have long revered the brain as seat of consciousness, even the seat of humanity itself. But when it comes down to it, everything is interconnected. Our consciousness extends well beyond the brain. How we feel and who we are encompasses a much more expansive and intricate system than any of us learned in high school biology. At the center of this paradigm revision is something called the vagus nerve.
Vagus…as a word it sounds a little off-putting. If someone called me a vagus, I'd probably be mildly offended. But the literary origins of this word are actually kind of mystical: "vagus" in Latin translates to "wandering." And I'd struggle to find a more apt definition.Read More
Following the switch to Primal eating, people often share curious observations about their shift in taste. After a lifetime of eating sugar, grains, artificial flavors and hydrogenated oils, they're often taken by surprise at the way their tastebuds react to a low-sugar, whole foods-based diet.
Granted, it doesn't happen overnight, but it happens. Many say the effect sneaks up on them over the course of several weeks until one day they realize their sense of taste has gone into hyperdrive.
Then they look across the cubicle aisle and watch their coworkers inhaling bags of chips or uninterestingly sucking away on sugary beverages. And it occurs to them: all those wasted years as their tastebuds languished in processed monotony.
It's one of the unexpected upsides of the Primal Blueprint diet: learning/relearning the nuance of real food flavor. The experience doesn't just reflect a psychological shift either. Taste acclimatization is a real, measurable thing.
What do we know about the process? Quite a bit actually. Some of it rather surprising….Read More
I know parents who have "yes" days with their kids—days when the kids can ask for just about anything (barring the hazardous, illegal, harmful or physically impossible) and the parents have agreed to go with it. While the idea assuredly raises some eyebrows and probably isn't for every family or age/personality of child, I've observed that it's rarely the Pandora's Box most people would assume.
On the first round, kids might try to push the limits out of sheer curiosity to see how far they can ride that train—how far they can push the parental units. With time and steadiness on the parents' parts, however, the kids generally settle into a happy but reasoned approach in which their requests end up reflecting their parents' values to a startling degree. They plan a healthy picnic or cook a healthy, albeit strangely assembled meal together. They ask for an extended family activity or day trip that includes some hiking or biking or family sport. It becomes more about their self-determination and maybe some creative embellishments than flying in the face of the normal family guidelines, oddly even if they're subject for regular complaint. Nonetheless, the fun factor just went through the roof. We adults can learn something from this….Read More
Being a Primal lifer is nice. You get to pat the heads and tousle the hair of precious newbies who just learned the words "lectin" and "phytate" and can't stop talking about it. Navigating your local farmer's market is a breeze, and you're such a regular that you can show up half an hour past closing and still get the choicest produce. But there are other benefits, too. Bits of wisdom that you glean over time, and that can only come from years of adherence. Today, I'm going to discuss the five biggest ones.
Newbies: don't expect to use these as a guide for your own immediate existence. These aren't necessarily suggestions. Much of what long term Primal adherents learn about their bodies and their lifestyles requires that they put in the time to learn the things directly. You can read about it, but don't be dismayed if you're unable able to implement or integrate them immediately.Read More
For today's edition of Dear Mark, I'm answering three questions. The first one concerns blackstrap molasses, a type of sugar I've suggested people eat for its rich mineral content. Does the value of the minerals outweigh the impact of its sugar content? Next, say you've got a slice of birthday cake you're committed to eating. Is it better to eat it all at once or piece it out across multiple days? And third, how can someone who's unable to squat obtain the benefits of squatting while pooping? In the absence of actual squatting, is there anything a person can do to smooth out the process?
Let's go:Read More


text: Ridley raises some controversial questions about FBI entrapment strategy and whether or not certain elements of the strategy would be justified by a nonviolent defensive organization in a stateless society. The questions are raised on the heels of an Illinois jury refusing to convict three protesters arrested prior to the 2012 NATO Summit of terrorism-related charges after manufacturing four molotov cocktails with the assistance of multiple undercover police operatives. More could certainly be said on the topic, with one of the major criticism's of the practice's ethics not being addressed, that of the use of deception and fraud to motivate actions of others.

I am convinced that I finally found a company that helps me in everything I need for online marketing
I am the owner of a small company dedicated to the maintenance of sport fields and like every small company we have to do multiple functions and of course the time we have is very little for each and every one of the activities and the marketing theme was no exception. Before knowing about White Shark Media we had very bad experiences with other companies that promised us things that were never fulfilled.
The need to be active on internet was very big and I decided to take a chance with White Shark Media. From the moment we spoke the deal was open, clear and without commitment to sign long-term contracts, the latter I quite like.
My experience with White Shark Media has been satisfactory and with the results that we expected. The treatment of my account manager is very professional and takes the necessary time to ensure that my campaign is always running the best way and keeps me informed. She cares about the improvement of my website and everything related.
I am convinced that I finally found a company that helps me in everything I need for online marketing!

If you type in "When is the best time to" on Google, the first thing that pops up is "post on Facebook." If you're reading this now, you probably have the same question or have had it at some point during your social media adventures. So when is the best time to achieve social engagement? You can read other people's opinions all you want, but what you really need to know is how to find the information you need to make your own opinion based on your own customer's needs.
Here at Rocket Pop Media, I manage a handful of our client's social platforms. And like every business, each business's audience gets on the interwebs at different times of the day and different days of the week. So here is where I introduce you to your new best friend, Facebook Insights. As far as getting in the heads of your viewers, Facebook does it right. Twitter and Pinterest have built in sources for analytics as well, but Facebook insights can tell you everything from the age of your audience to the time of day they are most actively engaging with Facebook.
How to Find the Best Time to Engage with Fans on Facebook
- The first thing you'll want to do is log into your business' Facebook page and click the "See Insights" button in the top right corner of your screen. Once you've done this, go ahead and click on the "Posts" tab.
- Once you're under the "Posts" tab, the "When Your Fans Are Online" tab should already be selected. You'll see something like the graph below. The bars that run horizontally across the top of the graph tell you how many of your fans were actively online that day, Monday through Friday. This will give you an idea of what days of the week give you the biggest chance of your message being seen by a larger amount of your fans. If you have a big promotion or an important message that you're planning to spread that week, shoot for those days.
- Looking at the graph under those bars, you'll be able to decipher what the best time for you to post is based off your fans Facebook activity. The grey area gives you the average times for the whole week and the black line changes according to what bar you hover over overhead. As you can see, this specific client's graph shows that the best time to post is around 9pm.
- Take this with a grain of salt. You don't want to just post at this time, especially if you're posting more than once a day. The last thing you want to do is bombard your fans with too much information and scare them away. It's usually recommended to space your posts with at least 2 hours apart, 3 if possible. Figure out what the next best times of the day to post are and schedule your posts accordingly.
Don't get me wrong, timing isn't everything. You also need to figure out what kind of content works best for your particular audience, add variety into your posts, and engage with your audience if you expect them to engage with you. But timing plays a big part in getting seen. It's the backbone behind everything else since nothing will work if no one is seeing your content. So keep these steps in mind the next time you are going back and forth on scheduling a post at 12pm vs. 3pm.

Wicked Ways - Planar Travel
- Akmenos - Teifling priest of Asmodeus, currently in possession of the Book of Vile Darkness.
- Brand - Half elf bard and priest of Asmodeus, coming to terms with the planning style of the rest of the group.
- Geln Stone Stair Cutter - Dwarven barbarian, skeptical of all of this religious mumbo jumbo.
- Oryn - Elven wizard, looking forward to raining fiery death upon his foes.
- Tai Lung - Elven monk, going a bit crazy with his mechanical man and poison lab.
Session Summary
The group had hit the half-way point in their 32 week long ritual to break the seal that was keeping the demon Vetra Kali from entering their world. Their master, Cardinal Adrastus Thorn, had just appeared at the end of the previous session. This session would be the big move into the end of the campaign and it was going to start off with something I'd said I wouldn't do, throw the party into an encounter that was too powerful for them. Basically, the Cardinal killed them off as quickly as he could and they then found themselves in a waiting room in the Abyss.
After a bit of paperwork they were introduced to Bazelbloaxx, a pit fiend who was in charge of new intakes. The group introduced themselves, listed the sins that probably got them sent to the Abyss and Bazelbloaxx found the filed contracts they had signed back in the first session. Brand was extremely forthcoming about what had been happening, though Akmenos still felt an odd loyalty to the Cardinal. Brand spilled all of the details on the Cardinal, and was urged by Geln to tell Bazelbloaxx the whole truth. Seeing an opportunity here, Bazelbloaxx offered to submit the forms that would strip the Cardinal of his title which would nullify their second loyalty. He could then resubmit the contract and get them back on the material plane to finish their work, thus elevating him back up the ranks of the Abyss as the devil who promoted them above the less than loyal Cardinal. All of this could be done if they would fetch a unicorn's horn which could be used to power a warding spell to protect the Horn from the Cardinal. Without that, the plan wouldn't be much help. The group agreed and they were sent off to the Feywild.
The group found themselves in the Grove of the Stallion and Serpent, a lush deciduous rain forest that was home to pixies, dryads, and all sorts of other wonderful creatures. It wasn't long before they began to ruin everything. Tai Lung snatched a pixie out of the air and proceeded to shake it up in his cupped hands to get it to talk. He eventually tired of the game and shoved the pixie in a sack and hung it on his belt.
After wandering about the Feywild for a bit, they eventually ran afoul of some dryads who politely asked them to leave. The dryads were quickly slaughtered and sent running. Brand transformed into a dinosaur and chased after one of them, the rest of the group hot on his heels. As he was munching on the dryad the group came upon a large clearing in the forest, at the center of which was a hut on giant chicken legs. Still in dinosaur form, Brand attempted to eat the hut, but it tasted more like hut and less like chicken than he was hoping. Here they made a deal with an occupant of the hut, an elf named Zezeryck. They agreed to fetch his master's lost amulet from an oni in the woods and he'd tell them how to find the unicorn. Zezeryck also requested they find the sphinx at the mountains and answer its riddles to get him the runic sequence he would need to return home.
The sphinx was found, riddles answered. They even answered an additional riddle to get one method of destroying the Book of Vile Darkness, have a planetar pierce it. The oni was also tracked down and slain and the amulet of planar shifting recovered.
How'd Things Go?
I had no intention of letting the PCs escape the Cardinal at the beginning. Disintegrate and Power Word Kill are massively powerful spells, and were pretty effective at wiping out most of the group. However, there was only one NPC so he couldn't take out all of the characters as quickly as I needed him to. Eventually, I had to break the rules and ended the fight early. It mostly worked out, but it could have gone a bit smoother.
The waiting room and devil in the abyss was pretty entertaining. It was interesting to see the characters throw everything on the table, which was a fun turnaround.
I dropped Baba Yaga's hut into the game as a callback to our previous campaign. At the end of that campaign, one of the characters became indentured to Baba Yaga. I thought having them show up here would be a fun little surprise. Zezeryck is also the character from the campaign who bears the most in common with this group.
Tossing a few riddles at the group was also a good change of pace. Obviously, I gave them the hardest riddle first, thinking it was an easier one. They managed to answer all of them, so there was no fight with a sphinx this time around.
Overall, it was a decent session, even with the railroading at the beginning. We'll be wrapping up the trip to the Feywild in the next session and moving things along. However, we've only got two more sessions scheduled this year. Hopefully the holidays don't kill our momentum.

Synopsis: In ancient times a band of warriors escorted a young prince homeward. Only one warrior remained true. He watched helplessly as the others slew their young charge. Death seemed to claim him as well. But he awoke one thousand years later, brought back by the prophets of God to serve them once again as an invisible guardian. One of the prophets, an albino dragon, hatched human daughters out of eggs by giving them the life in his blood. The daughters sought out the traitor to bring him to repentance. Out of remorse for his sins, the traitor slew himself on a sword. Upon the daughters' return their dragon father sent them to live in a far off forest. The youngest daughter fell in love and wed. But upon giving birth to a beautiful baby girl she gave up the life in her blood and died; making the ultimate sacrifice to bring a child of promise into the world.
My thoughts: Considering this is Mr. Appleton's first novel (though republished), it is very well written, but on one account. I will get to that in a minute. The fantastical setting was enchanting, yet full of danger. I loved his description of the creatures, and the mannerisms and attitudes of the dragon, Albino. The themes of love, betrayal, sorrow, sacrifice and regret could be found anywhere in the story, and tied you to the characters' emotions and reasoning.
The one flaw I found with this book (with the help of a friend) was that Dantress was too perfect. She never seemed to do wrong, while her sisters often argued and erred. Enough said, I think.
My rating: 4 stars

Downing Street has been accused of misleading the public about the CV of a major Tory donor who was given a peerage, according to the Independent. Jewellery magnate Ranbir Singh Suri, was elevated to the House of Lords on the personal recommendation of the Prime Minister. At the time he was made out to be a leader of the British Sikh Community, however he appears to have done little to warrant this description.
Mr Singh Suri is one of the richest Asians in Britain and has donated £300,000 to the Conservative Party. When his peerage was announced he was described as the "former General Secretary of the Board of British Sikhs". To the casual reader this sounds like he is a community leader, which is deemed to be a good reason to ennoble someone.
In reality, the Board of British Sikhs has not existed for 20 years, and even when it did there are only thought to have been a few members. But this did not stop the Conservatives claiming he was a leading figure in the Sihk community. One prominent Sikh organisation said this amounted to a "bare faced lie".
The Sikh Federation UK said in a statement: "He is no leading figure in Britain's Sikh community and he is not associated with any of the leading Sikh organisations. Many in the Sikh community simply see Lord Suri as a businessman who has donated large sums of money [to the Tories]."
It added: "The Federation has been campaigning for over a decade to see more visible Sikhs in Parliament. On the one hand this move is welcome, but we would prefer each of the main political parties to have Sikhs in the House of Lords who are younger, there on merit and based on what they have to offer rather than those who are seen as 'cronies'."
David Cameron has been accused of cronyism before, the co-chairman of the Conservative Party Lord Feldman is his former house-mate. He was given both a peerage and the key strategic role in the Conservative Party despite having almost no specific qualifications for the job.
News of yet another peerage for a Tory donor will enrage traditionalists who have seen the House of Lords turned into a graveyard for Trade Union bosses and rich donors since most of the hereditary peers were expelled by Labour.
The House now has over 850 members, making it one of the largest upper houses in the world. Many of the members do not even bother turning up and only accept the peerage because of the title it brings.

Obesity Rate is at Least 30% in 12 U.S. States Led by the South, CDC Says
July 19, 2011
by Elizabeth Loppatto
Bloomberg News
At least 30 percent of people in 12 states were obese in 2010, an increase of three states from a year earlier, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
No state reported that less than 20 percent of adults were obese, the Atlanta-based agency said today in a statement. That means no state met the national Healthy People 2010 goal to lower the prevalence to 15 percent.

India is arguably the world's oldest producer of cotton, with traces of cotton cultivation having been found among the artifacts of the Indus Valley civilization in parts of India and present-day Pakistan. Although cotton came to be cultivated in Mexico, Egypt and China, the sheer variety and quality of Indian weaves came to be cherished all over the world, and continues to this day.
Indian cotton sarees are most suitable for our tropical weather, and are the best material to beat humidity. Available in a range that suits different pockets, and in techniques as varied as their colours, one has a lot to choose from. The lowest –priced are the Phulia handloom cottons from Phulia in West Bengal, and the Mou or Banaras cottons, which are made in what is called single weave. In the same range, we have the Bandhanis or tie- and -dye cottons from Rajasthan and Gujarat. The Bandhani Ghatcholas , with their characteristic dots arranged geometrically into floral designs, have always been the craze with brides galore.
Kota in Rajasthan has lent its name to the net-like cotton weave which is now a popular summer wear all over the country. Down south, there are a number of cotton weaves to choose from. The most beautiful cottons hail from Kerala. Off-white with gold borders and pallus, the Kerala kasavu offsets the greenery of the state, and spells grace and dignity. Andhra Pradesh produces its beautiful zari-lined Venkatgiri cottons, and its highly prized Gadwals. There are also the classy Mangalgiris and Narayanpeths in solid colours in the medium price range. Narayanpeths, incidentally, have their origins in Sholapur district of the neighbouring state of Maharashtra. But historical links with Maharashtra have had Andhra Pradesh adopt the weave too. At the moment, the saree is woven and worn in both states .
Coimbatore and Kanchipuram have their own distinct weaves, which are a blend of silk and cotton. The Kanchi cotton saree is a light blended saree, which is comfortable for summer wear, and very low on maintenance, thus accounting for its popularity. The Maheswari cottons of Madhya Pradesh rival the Kanchipuram cottons in popularity and quality. Soft and comfortable on the skin, these cottons owe their origin to Rani Ahilyabai who is credited to have designed them.
The Chanderis of Madhya Pradesh are a silk-cotton blend, with a diaphanous texture. However, they are not exactly for casual wear. The prices of Chanderis may range upwards in keeping with the quality of work they showcase. Printed chanderis can be had for lower prices, though, and are ideal for everyday use. India presents several varieties in cotton ikat. The double ikats, which are styled out of warp and weft yarns dyed initially and then used for weaving the cloth, are a speciality of Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat and Odisha.
In spite of being neighbouring states, though, the ikats do not resemble each other in design. The Pochampally ikats of Andhra Pradesh bear a striking resemblance to the Patan Patola ikats of Gujarat. The Odisha ikats, on the other hand, use traditional motifs that are representative of eastern India. The weaving renders flowers, elephants using geometrical elements, giving it a unique flavour. The cotton ikats of both Odisha and Andhra Pradesh are easy on the pocket, and boast a texture that make them low-maintenance. Odisha also produces the Bomkai cottons, which are characterised by their distinctive border and pallus. The state of West Bengal is a treasure trove of handloom cottons for the connoisseur. Partition brought the weavers of Tangail in Bangladesh to India, and with them came the fine Tangail cottons.
The famed jamdanis on Dhaka muslin also moved to districts around the international border. A jamdani is a high –end fabric woven on the legendary Dhaka muslin. The fine weaving of flowers, and bootis(dots), often with zari, makes it a prized possession handed down from generation to generation. Besides these fine weaves, one also has the medium –priced Dhanekhali Cotton sarees and the slightly thicker Shantipuri sarees to choose from, both of which are native to West Bengal.
The Dhanekhali cotton sarees are characterized by pretty colours, and a pallu marked by a sheaf of paddy, which reminds one of the green paddy fields of its place of origin. The Shantipuri cotton sarees are native to the Vaishnav bastion of Shantipur, and boast ornate borders in bright colours. These are much cheaper than the other varieties. The same goes with the Phulia cottons, which are single weave cottons that are extremely easy on the pocket.
Of late, the traditional phulkari embroidery of the Punjab is being used on cotton sarees too. The Phulkari cottons are light and pretty, and can be used for casual or office wear. Similalry, kutchi mirror work that was traditionally used for blouses and odhnis is now being used on sarees too. There are also some modern blends that are now being attempted such as supernet or organza cotton.

Then you compound the problem by punishing the people attempting to highlight that petty behavior with a little sarcastic humor instead of going to the root of the problem.
"there's no scraps in my scrapbook"
People on both sides were infracted. Like we always do, it's not simply up to me who is infracted. We bring it up for discussion and decide as a collective.

dave, if you want to have at it with spliff then pm him. This isn't the place.
And Spliff is right. All any of us do is throw in some sarcastic humour and these guys go off the rails.

Leave out the name calling out in this discussion.
Well your collective decision making is often short sighted and nonsensical (especially so in this case). Seems like the mods are more concerned with keeping their workload to a minimum than being fair.People on both sides were infracted. Like we always do, it's not simply up to me who is infracted. We bring it up for discussion and decide as a collective.
Maybe I'm crazy but it seems like you're so concerned of coming off as negatively biased towards Dodgers fans that you bend over backwards to make excuses for their petulant and disruptive behavior.
"there's no scraps in my scrapbook"
Theres a simple rule to follow...
If you disagree with someones opinion, argue the post not the poster.
Not saying I always follow that rule, but its good advice, eh? The minute someone uses you in a post, they would be advised to reconsider what they are about to say.

You want to be a successful blogger, the first most important concern will be your TRAFFIC! How to increase traffic on your blog? Without traffic, no matter what you write, you can share your thoughts with good articles and posts but you are never going to be successful, because you don't have traffic! Let me share with you, step by step how I use these 10 powerful strategies to increase BLOG TRAFFIC and build massive income with them.
If you want to become pro blogger, you need to get steady heavy traffic. The easiest way to bring a consistent amount of traffic to your website is through Search Engine Optimization. This is when you edit the code of your websites so that they can be indexed and found easily by users searching on sites like Google.com and Yahoo.com.
In order to give a specific answer to any individual blogger about how to increase traffic to a specific blog with the aim of increasing income, one would have to do a thorough review of the blog, determine what expertise and skill sets the blogger has or lacks, ascertain whether the blogger can actually write, ascertain whether or not the blog is set up properly for SEO, and determine what they have already done to establish organic traffic. It also takes money to make money so another important thing to ascertain is how much the blogger is willing to invest into their blog in order to make an income from their blog.
1# No Registration
I personally comment on hundreds of different blogs every week. The only reason that would prevent me from commenting on a blog would be having to register first. You see, people have busy lives, and asking them register before leaving a comment is practically telling them not to comment at all. I understand why many sites require registration before commenting (to reduce spam), but they are loosing out on so many comments because of that. Commenting should be fun, so remember to keep commenting as simple and easy as possible. So No need to register your commentor!!
2# Help Others to get traffic
One of the things that has helped me get traffic and links to my blog is simply helping other bloggers.
I often link out to other blogs and sometimes I'll get a link back. One day, I took this linking out strategy a little bit further. I did some SEO on a post where I linked out to a popular blogger. This post got a number #1 and sent him a lot of traffic over the next couple of days.
Next thing you know, I checked my logs and I saw a lot of traffic coming from his blog. He had published a post welcoming my readers and included a link back to my blog in the post. Also, he added me to his small blogroll. I get a good amount of traffic every month from the blogroll link.
In my opinion a good method is word from mouth. Spread around your website to your friends and you might find a couple of people who constantly view your site and decides to send the website to their friends etc.
3# Give a gift to your commentor
Let's face it, sometimes doing good for the sake of good just doesn't cut it. Why should anyone comment on your blog when there are millions of others to choose from? Occasionally, it helps to provide incentives for your readers to comment. You can give away eBooks, themes, or other products to those who comment; this works wonders since your readers are always on the lookout for free stuff. I'm pretty sure you'll have a warm fuzzy feeling inside of you after you do. So they feel appreciated on you. It can be surprising how such a small "thank you" at the end of your posts can take your comment section a long way. Your readers are taking their time to leave comments on your blog, so the least you could do is thank them for their effort. A little thank you note can turn a stop-and-go commenter into a very loyal reader. Think about it
4# Wrote a relevant articles to others
Spend two days a week spend an hour writing one thoughtful and cogent article that's relevant to your target readership. Imagine you're going to be having it picked up and published in one of the key trade publications in your marketplace. Good grammar, good spelling, coherent sentences, and a valuable point or insight are all important. It doesn't have to be perfect, but I promise you, the better you write, the more your potential customers, clients, partners and investors will be impressed.
The other three days of the week? Spend the same amount of time and effort each of these other days, but this time find other blogs that are in your market space and add thoughtful comments to their discussions. Sometimes, when appropriate, link back to your own articles, but other times add your own comments just to participate in the ongoing discussion and, yes, gain some visibility in your marketspace.
5# Get a Linkback form others
Keep building good unique related content and related backlinks and traffic should increase in time.. Every blogger dreams about this. As the number of natural backlinks increase, your authority will also increase. But the point here is, are those natural backlinks really worth it? The answer is yes. It is a kind of virtuous circle. The higher the number of backlinks you have, the higher your authority, and the higher your authority, the more natural backlinks you will get.
In my blogging career, I've learned only two ways to get good backlinks: hard work and patience. By hard work I mean the content you write. Blogs like SixRevisions and Hongkiat are among the most popular design blogs. If you visit them, you will realize the reason: the publish a lot of high quality content on a very frequent basis.
Link exchange is also a great and effective way to boost your traffic. You can go to Google Blog Search and find few blogs which have same niche with you and request link exchange with the webmasters by contact them. If you able to exchange a link with a blog which have high visits and traffic, your traffic also will increase after that.
6# Comment to others article
I think I don't need to tell you why you should be commenting on other blogs. For instance, I still remember the articles TechCrunch articles where I managed to leave the first comment. At that time, my blog used to get around 40 visitors a day. On that particular day (when I left the comment) my visitor count increased to around 110 visitors.
Frequently leave comments on some experts blogs which have high traffic and Alexa ranking will increase your blog traffic as well. Do not comment using anonymous. Remember to leave only quality comment instead of saying a word "Hello". Leave some quality comments so that other people will get interest on you and then visit your blog.

7# Twitter'ing' them so they will too
Twitter has always been a very good friend of mine for getting Traffic. Mostly the traffic depends on the kind of content you write. Twitter traffic is crazy about social media. If you are writing something like "10 tips that can make you Twitter rich" then I am sure your followers would love to retweet it for you.
One thing I really like about Twitter is that your articles which never get attention on social bookmarking sites can also drive you a lot of traffic.
**TIP: Twitter will only pay you off if you are regular. Try starting from 10 minutes a day and keep ReTweeting stuff. Most of your followers will reciprocate you and will RT your links too.
8# Run a blog contest
Run contests on your blog also a way to boost your blog traffic. The form of contest and gift is based on your budget and what your readers need. Think a creative way which can grab more readers to read your blog post. Example, the top commenter of this month will be rewarded a copy of your e-book.
9# Submit your blog to blog directory
This step is very important to get traffic for your blog. Submit your blogs to Technorati, Techmeme, Blogcatalog and other blog directories. Blog directories are places which you can submit your blog to get massive traffic. Thus, do not be lazy on this. They will increase your alexa rank.
10# Increase your reader loyalty
Increased recognition leads to increased loyalty. Every blogger aims to be recognized by those within the niche or industry. Think about your own habits as a blog reader. Which blogs would you say that you are most loyal to? Are they also the same blogs that you visit directly? Most likely they are. With increased recognition and direct traffic you will receive more repeat visitors.
These are the main 10 ways you can use to get tons of traffic for your blog. No harm to give out a try. After that what you need is blog with consistency and repeating doing them. Do not ever give out because your are surely failed if you quit. Try to find out your problem and solve it. This article will be helpful if you want to increase your blog traffic. So What Are Your Thoughts? Do you pay much attention to your traffic numbers? Have you found any specific ways to increase the amount of traffic that you receive? Sharing is carring…

Lorton, VA. (PRWEB) January 27, 2016
The New Military Spouse Support Program mentors and supports new military spouses as they begin their journey as a military spouse.
The challenges rooted in developing strong new military spouses lies largely in the ability to link them to the information and support they need and deserve as new spouses to a military lifestyle. The NMSSP was designed to mentor and provide support to new military spouses as well as improving the morale and welfare of our military community. The program welcomes new military spouses to our military family, educates and provides information on benefits, resources, and tools available to them. New military spouses have an MSAN Mentor by their side during their first Permanent Change of Station (PCS) journey until their arrival to their new installation.
MSAN Mentors are also military spouses who are professionally trained to provide accurate information. Their mission is to empower, educate, and assist their fellow spouses. Further, they will link new spouses to Family Readiness Centers, Key Spouses, Ombudsmen, Family Readiness Groups (FRGs), and other supportive agencies at their new military installation across the country and abroad.
Even as benefits and resources exist to accomplish spouse support, an apparent and realistic lack of experience sometimes stifles spouses trying to learn and begs the need for a system of mentors to be the bridge between the person and the information. MSAN proposes its new spouse support program to serve as a supplementary function to mentor spouses as they embark on their new experience in the military... building strong spouses and stronger families.
NMSSP's tools include its website at http://milspouseadvocacynetwork.org, social media, classes, trainings, webinars and more.
To talk to a Mentor, become a Mentor or sponsor this program that will change the lives of brand-new military spouses, please contact: info(at)milspouseadvocacynetwork(dot)org.

2010 Intermarket Relationship Charts with the SP500Jan 2, 2011: 12:30 AM CST
As promised, I wanted to follow-up the prior "Market Performance in 2010" post with a few charts of the major cross-markets and the developing relationship with the S&P 500.
In looking at the reference charts, pay close attention first to the type of relationship – positive or negative – and the periods of time (highlighted) where the traditional relationship broke-down temporarily – and then resumed its normal course.
First, let's start with the S&P 500 and 10-year Treasury Note Prices:
As a reference, the S&P 500 will be the black line in all charts, and will be scaled on the right.
In recent history, Treasury prices are INVERSE stock prices, which is logical.
The Bond and Stock Markets COMPETE for investor capital, and investors tend to invest in bonds when playing "risk off" or conservative, and invest in stocks when playing "risk on" and offensive.
This strong inverse relationship proved true with the exception of the highlighted period from July to November when both markets rose together. That was in part due to the Federal Reserve's QE2 plan and the "advance" positioning ahead of the official announcement.
The relationship returned to normal in November as bonds fell and stocks continued their rise – and the relationship remains 'normal' today.
The S&P 500 and Gold Prices:
In general, stocks and gold prices have been positively correlated, but for the most part gold rose all year long with only a medium pullback in July – about the same time stocks pulled back.
However, you can see that stocks fell from May to July and gold rose – so the relationship is weakly positively correlated. Gold – along with stocks – benefited at the end of the year due to the QE2 rumors and facts from the Federal Reserve.
The relationship remains positively correlated as we start 2011.
The S&P 500 and Crude Oil (red):
Of all the major cross-markets, the MOST positively correlated markets are stocks and crude oil – at least in 2010.
Virtually every single turn stocks made, crude oil made it right along-side the S&P 500.
Both markets share similar fates in terms of global economic prospects, and both benefited at the end of the year due to the QE2 activities.
It would be surprising if this relationship broke down soon – it was the strongest in 2010.
The S&P 500 and the US Dollar Index:
Investors traditionally view the US Dollar Index and the S&P 500 as strongly inversely correlated, and that was very correct in 2010.
The relationship remains strongly inversely correlated (when one moves up, the other moves down), though there were brief periods in 2010 where the relationship was not perfectly inversely correlated.
This logically places the US Dollar Index roughly positively correlated with Treasury Bond/Note prices, and of course also inversely correlated with Gold and Crude Oil.
I discuss these relationships – and current opportunities/price levels to monitor currently and in the weeks ahead – in the member Inter-market Report each weekend.
Keep these charts as a reference and learn how markets relate and what to expect from one market to the next – and be aware when the traditional relationships break-down temporarily so you can manage risk appropriately.

No matter how expertly someone can communicate directions, there are paths that can't be described; some folks are directionally challenged, and GPS can't always be trusted. Certainly I'm not the only one who has "arrived at my destination" in a hayfield.
We had a karate training weekend called the "ABKA Women's Charge: because we do NOT 'Retreat'". To find your way from the bunkhouse to the dojo, you have to know which path to take, which fork to follow, and trust the bridges. It takes almost as long to describe the way to a new person as it takes to physically walk with them. We had ladies end up at one of the ponds, some went all the way around the running trail, and it's not difficult to get half way there on the right path and think you've made a mistake. The bridges are sound, but sometimes it takes someone who has trusted them before to convince the new folks that they will hold.
The directions were best issued as: "Go WITH someone who knows the way."
I have a number of karate books on my shelf and a growing collection of running books. They serve as resources, but I would not have achieved black belt or completed a single marathon without the sage advice of a coach who has done these things before. At each stage of life we face new challenges and there are a dizzying number of books written for each subject, but nothing replaces going with someone who has traveled the path before you.
p.s. For the ladies who mistakenly took the running trail: they only had a quarter mile to travel before returning to the beginning and choosing correctly. It wasn't too late to find their way.

According to Econsultancy, only 22% of businesses are satisfied with their conversion rates. That's not much of a surprise, considering that for every $92 businesses spend acquiring customers, only $1 is spent on converting them.
A lot of marketers argue that conversion rates suffer because we prioritize SEO too much. Here's the big difference between the two:
- Conversion rate optimization (CRO): Making changes to your website so more visitors convert into customers
- Search engine optimization (SEO): Making changes to your site to improve its rank in search results
But here's the deal.
There's no point in having great SEO if visitors don't know what to do when they get to your site. And without SEO, those visitors might not find your site in the first place.
So conversion optimization and SEO both matter – a lot.
This post will help you make sure you have the right balance between SEO and conversion optimization on your site.
Target Keywords that Drive Conversions
The keywords you optimize for should focus on driving conversions if you're going to get the most out of SEO and CRO together.
Take a look at what keywords are currently bringing traffic to your site in Google Analytics. Do those keywords just bring traffic, or do they drive conversions as well?
Informational Keywords
If you run a blog, you probably target a lot of informational keywords. People search for these keywords to find out more about a product, service, or industry, which can help them make a purchase decision.
Here are a couple of examples related to the digital marketing industry:
- How to build backlinks
- Ways to market to influencers
These kinds of keywords don't drive conversions directly, but they lead to conversions if you have the right calls-to-action (CTAs) in place. So if you get a lot of traffic from informational keywords but no conversions, your CTAs are probably the problem. More on that below.
Commercial Keywords
Use commercial keywords to target people who are ready to buy a product. They imply commercial intent. For example:
- Marketing software price
- Web design discount
- Purchase marketing automation tool
Try turning some of your other popular keywords into commercial intent keywords by adding key terms like these:
- For sale
- Coupon
- Buy
- Discount
- Deal
- Shipping
You might find that keywords with commercial intent don't rank as well but draw much more traffic, like this example from Search Engine Watch:
If you sell a product or service, be sure you're investing some SEO effort in commercial keywords. These keywords are opportunities to improve conversions with the help of search traffic.
Have Lots of Landing Pages
Create different pages for each service or product category on your site. This will help you with SEO, because you can optimize each for very specific keywords.
For example, say you have an auto repair shop in Seattle. You could try to rank for "auto repair Seattle" on your homepage, then have pages for all your different services.
With all these different pages, you can optimize for keywords like "buyers inspection Seattle" or "transmission repair Seattle," which have a lot less competition.
Having a lot of landing pages can be great for conversion optimization as well. Use these pages as an opportunity to show visitors that you're the best company for the job. Include your unique selling proposition, reviews or testimonials, and illustrative photos.
Give Your Traffic Clear Direction
A big mistake that many marketers make, especially with blog posts optimized for informational keywords, is not giving visitors enough direction to turn them into conversions. They have one CTA at the bottom of the page, and it looks the same for every post.
To get the most out of SEO and conversion optimization together, create content that seamlessly blends conversion opportunities. Backlinko is a site that's really good at this strategy.
Brian has a prominent CTA above-the-fold to sign up for the email list, other resources that could help a visitor convert, and the irresistible "content upgrade":
Using your CTAs to give visitors direction on your site is also good for SEO.
Someone from search could come to your page, get the information they need, and bounce. But if you convince them to download a content upgrade or sign up for a newsletter, you improve your clickthrough rate – an important rank factor.
You should also make sure your CTAs are as relevant as possible to the pages they appear on. When optimizing your CTAs for conversions, I recommend following a method that HubSpot used – basing them on the search keywords that brought visitors to the page in the first place.
HubSpot figured out that 75% of their blog traffic went to old posts people were searching for. So they went back and changed the CTAs to match the search terms:
The method helped them increase their blog's conversion rates by 87%.
Improve User Experience
User experience (UX) is all about making your site easy for visitors to navigate and find the information they're looking for. Having good UX on your site is really important for conversion optimization.
There are a few different areas to consider for UX:
Web design
Given 15 minutes to consume content, two-thirds of people would rather read something beautifully designed than something plain. So make sure your design is visually attractive to optimize conversions.
You should also make sure all the content on your site loads and reads well – 39% of people will stop engaging with a website if images won't load or take too long to load.
Site speed
If your site takes too long to load, many visitors will become impatient and just head back to wherever they came from. Want to learn how to improve your site speed? Use Google's PageSpeed Insights tool:
Mobile devices now account for two of every three minutes spent online. Optimize your site to work well across devices to improve UX and conversions.
After reaching a company's website via a referral site, 50% of visitors will use the navigation menu to orient themselves. If your navigation isn't easy to use, they might just leave.
Customer service
Forty-four percent of website visitors will leave a company's website if there's no contact information or phone number. So make it easy for visitors to find your email and phone number on every page.
And maybe you've guessed – search engines care about UX as well. If your site has a high bounce rate, that's a sign your UX is poor, and your rank will suffer.
Build Links with Content Marketing
Google recently revealed that links are one of the top three rank factors for search. So if you want your SEO efforts to work at all, link building is a must.
If you build links through content marketing, it will be great for your conversions as well.
Create content that's informative and answers people's questions about your niche or industry. Then promote it on social media and other platforms, and partner up with influencers to promote the content. This will help you build links.
And here's why it's good for conversions:
- Building links with content marketing can bring in more traffic outside of search that you can convert.
- Before making a purchase decision, 81% of shoppers research online.
- Having lots of content gives you more opportunities to place relevant CTAs.
Develop buyer personas as part of your content marketing strategy. Then create content that really speaks to their feelings, interests, and needs. When you promote your content on social media, niche blogs, and industry forums, you can build links and attract your audience to your site.
Track and Test
The best way to know where you should be investing is by monitoring results.
Monitor your SEO and conversion optimization by paying attention to traffic changes and user flow on your site. This will help you visualize how your strategies are working together (or not) to achieve your goals.
Use Google Analytics to keep track of key information:
Traffic sources
Drill down to see where your traffic is really coming from (search, social media, referrals). Then you can gauge the importance of SEO in your conversion efforts.
Landing Pages
See what top pages on your site are drawing in visitors. Just go to Behavior > Site Content > Landing Pages.
Use these pages as a benchmark to improve other content.
Exit Pages
Look at which pages people are most likely to exit from. This information is also found in Behavior > Site Content. How can you improve them to get conversions instead?
Conversion Reports
A more advanced tool you can use is Conversion Reports. You can find out where conversions originate on your site based on goal URLs, such as a thank you or confirmation page. Then, use the Goals Overview report to see what sources are driving your conversions.
The tool also has advanced features, such as tracking the goal completion journey across your site.

Kaley Cuoco doesn't want you to judge her for jumping into marriage.
The "Big Bang Theory" star stopped by "The Late Show with David Letterman" on Monday night (Feb. 24), to talk about her relationship with new husband Ryan Sweeting.
The actress explained that the two met on a blind date and fell for one another pretty quickly. "He moved in the next day," Cuoco joked.
However, it doesn't seem like Cuoco was really kidding. She explained to Letterman how her first date with Sweeting happened while he was in town for a short stint … then he never left. "It sounds so slutty, but it wasn't," Cuoco said in defense of her speedy courtship.
"It all did move quite fast on paper, but we really did know," she explained.
The couple got engaged just three months after they began dating, then walked down the aisle on New Year's Eve as part of an elaborate party to ring in 2014.
Cuoco and Sweeting attempted to keep their wedding plans a secret, but Cuoco wasn't the best at hiding her excitement. Apparently, she leaked the news to a number of people -- from her manicurist to gas station attendants.
Cuoco confessed, "There'd be all these articles, and my husband would be like, 'How does everyone know we're getting married?' And I'd be like, 'I do not know. I do not know.'"
It doesn't seem to have caused too big of a rift in their plans, as the couple said their vows and have been enjoying wedded life.
