Mind & Body
Mind & Body - Recommended Reading
There are so many books available on the subject the Mind – Body Connection. We are often asked which books are a good investment of time and money. We only ever recommend books that we have personally read and found useful either in the work we do on ourselves or with our clients and students. Here is a list of the books we most often recommend and a brief synopsis of each one. Enjoy!
Quantum Healing
A brilliant book. It's been on my bookshelf since it first came out 12 years ago. This was the first mainstream book that postulated that there really was a connection between the human mind and body, also that we replace every cell in our body every year. Chopra poses an interesting point in that he says the question isn't how does someone get ill, but rather how does someone stay ill? Since we replace our stomach lining every five days, how does someone have a stomach ulcer for more than five days? Lots of case histories and stories demonstrating that there is a link between our health and the way we think and feel.
Mental Therapeutics
Just in case you were thinking that Chopra's thinking is new, here's a book written in the early 1900's with step by step methods for communicating with every organ of the body and how to use the techniques for healing and perfect health. Historic and as relevant today as it was nearly a hundred years ago. A great little book.
Dr Atkins New Diet Revolution
Be prepared for your ideas about the relationship between what you eat and you body fat to be changed forever. Prepare to be astounded and shocked that what you are recommended to eat is actually making you fatter. This book outlines a diet that is scientifically based and really works and is also easy to follow. We recommend you seek medical advise prior to starting any diet.
Dr Atkins Age-Defying Diet Revolution
Dr Atkins is also working on the area of reversing and slowing aging by the use of diet and dietary supplements. This book is a great introduction to how it works and what supplements you need to take.
Sugar Busters
Steward, Bethea, Andrews and Luis
This book is based on the same ideas as the Dr Atkins Diet. It's less rigorous and therefore suits some people better.
Grow Young and Slim
Nick Delgado specialises in the area of anti-aging and his book is a real compendium of the best information around. If you're only going to read one book on anti-aging make it this one. The chapter on exercise will change your ideas about what it takes to get lean and fit.

Dunham created the hit comedy and frequently writes and directs episodes as well as starring as lead character Hannah, but she admits she is tempted to spend more time offscreen because she does not enjoy acting.
She tells Glamour magazine, "I don't know if I'm going to want to act anymore. I'm always relieved on the days I don't have to. I'd rather give parts to other women than be the woman having the parts."

Are you using Meta tags for SEO? If not, here you can find some useful information on how to do it. If you are already an expert in meta-tags, you have a choice to go to more enlightening articles.
The metadata might be analyzed by browsers (how to show content or reopen page), search engines (keywords), or other web applications. Metadata is data about data. The <meta> tag shows you metadata about the HTML file. Metadata will not be shown on the page, but will be automatically parsable.
Meta elements are generally used to define page description, keywords, author of the document, last edited, and other metadata. Meta descriptions are HTML components that give clear and short information about the contents of web site. Meta descriptions can generally be seen on search engine result pages (SERPs) in the form of previews for a given page.
Code Sample
<head> <meta name="description" content="This is an example of a meta description. This will often show up in search results."> </head>
Optimal Length for Search Engines
Roughly 155 Characters
Meta description tags, although not relevant to search engine rankings, are extremely important in gaining user click-through from SERPs. These short paragraphs allow to advertise content to users and to let them know exactly whether the page has the information they need
The meta description should employ the keywords cautiously, but also create a great description that a user will want to click. Direct relevance to the page and uniqueness between each page's meta description is crucial. The description should optimally be between 150-160 characters.
<head> <meta name="description" content="Here is a description of the applicable page"> </head>
Tips and Notes
Note: <meta> tags always goes inside the <head> element.
Note: Metadata always goes as name/value pairs.
Note: It is necessary to define the content component if the name or the http-equiv element is already determined. If none of these are determined, it is not allowed to define the content attribute.
Differences Between HTML 4.01 and HTML5
HTML5 does not honor the scheme parameter.
There is a new attribute in HTML5 – charset. It simplifies the process of defining charset:
- HTML 4.01: <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8″>
- HTML5: <meta charset="UTF-8″>
Differences Between HTML and XHTML
There is no end tag for the <meta> tag in HTML.
You should properly close the <meta> tag in XHTML.
Example 1 – Define keywords for search engines:
Example 2 – Define a description of your web page:
Example 3 – Define the author of a page:
Example 4 – Refresh document every 45 seconds:
= New in HTML5.
|Dedines the character encoding for the HTML document
|Provides the value related to the http-equiv or name attribute
|Gives an HTTP header for the information/value of the content attribute
|Determines a name for the metadata
|Not honored in HTML5.
Defines a scheme that will be employed for interpreting the value of the content attribute
Avoid Duplicate Meta Description Tags
As with title tags, it is crucial that meta descriptions on each page be different. One way to fight not unique meta descriptions is to create a dynamic and automatic way that creates non-duplicate meta descriptions for pages.
Quotes Cut Off Descriptions
As soon as quotes are used in a meta description, Google cuts off the description. To prevent meta descriptions from being removed, it's best to delete all non-alphanumeric characters from meta descriptions. If quotation marks are essential in your meta description, you can change them to single quotes rather than double quotes to prevent truncation.
Sometimes it is Okay to Not Write Meta Descriptions
When engines pull, they always show the keywords and neighboring phrases that the user has looked for. If a webmaster pushes a meta description, they can detract from the relevance the engines make naturally. In some cases, they'll overrule the meta description anyway, but a webmaster can not always rely on the engines to use the more relevant text in the SERP.
Google does not use keywords meta tags

Despite his disappointment on the night, Mansfield Town manager Adam Murray now feels the 2-0 home defeat by Exeter City may prove to be a blessing in disguise as Stags return to the One Call Stadium to try to cement their place in the top seven against rivals Leyton Orient this Saturday.
"Sometimes you look at these things and, when the dust settles, that for me personally was a really good night in a weird way," he said.
"After the way we lost against Exeter it probably made it a better feeling to win at Barnet. It was a really professional performance.
"With the wind, in one half the lads played some great football and in the other half they fought for their lives. It led us into the break in a good frame of mind."
He added: "It's a tough balance isn't it? At the start of the season and in the summer people would have gone – we'll take a higher finish than last year. Get us in and around mid-table and we'd be happy with that.
"As a group we set high targets from day one and managed to get off to a decent start. Then everybody else's expectations go up.
"So when you have a little blip here and there it becomes a bigger issue than it is, which does get magnified at this place probably more than other places.
"You could say that makes this a tougher place to work.
"For me it does, but that makes it a better place to work as I've said all along as a player and as a manager now, it demands from you.
"Realistically, we have put in one bad performances this season, that was the Exeter game, and that was something people had become accustomed to last season. So I think it was a shock to everybody in the ground.
"The lads as a team didn't expect it could go that bad. Me as a manager didn't know it could go that bad.
"The big thing after that, looking at reasons why, different things that added up. It was bad but it inspired me a lot and I took a lot out of that loss, probably a lot more than I took out of the wins this season."

In a published article Nicolaas Pronk, PhD, vice president and health science officer, Journey Well, HealthPartners, Minneapolis, Minnesota, and colleagues note that numerous studies have found prolonged sitting to be associated with increased risks for mortality, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer, metabolic syndrome, and obesity.
"In contrast," they write, "breaks in prolonged sitting time have been correlated with beneficial metabolic profiles among adults, suggesting that frequent breaks in sedentary activity may explain lower health risk related to waist circumference, body mass index (BMI), triglyceride levels, and 2-hour plasma glucose levels."
Dr. Pronk and colleagues conducted a practice-based study, part of what they call the Take-a-Stand Project, aimed at using sit-stand devices to reduce sitting time and improve the health profile of workers with sedentary jobs. The study included 34 office workers with sedentary jobs that involve computer operations, telephone interaction, and various administrative duties.
"The project was implemented over a 7-week period with a baseline period of 1 week (period 1) in which all 34 participants were monitored without intervention; an intervention period of 4 weeks during which sit-stand devices were installed for the intervention group only (period 2); and a postintervention period of 2 weeks (period 3) without intervention for either group," the researchers write.
During the intervention period, the workspaces of participants in the intervention group (n = 24) were outfitted with sit-stand devices that could be raised or lowered to suit the workers' preferences, thereby enabling them to do their jobs either standing or sitting. The researchers say that the time spent changing positions did not significantly interrupt work flow. Participants in the control group (n = 10) received no intervention.
After 4 weeks, the sit-stand devices were removed from the intervention groups' workspaces.
Throughout the study, the researchers tracked how long the participants spent standing, sitting, and walking. They also surveyed the participants at 3 points during the study: at baseline, at the end of week 5, and at the end of the study. The final survey asked all participants for feedback on their experiences related to the project.
"The survey included questions related to participant characteristics, including age, sex, body weight and height, physical activity levels and intensities, estimated cardiorespiratory fitness, self-perceived health status, role physical (degree of problems with work or other daily activities as a result of physical health issues), role emotional (degree of problems with work or other daily activities as a result of emotional health issues), and job type," the investigators write.
Installing the sit-stand devices increased nonsitting time, reduced upper back and neck pain, and improved mood states, according to the authors. They also note that when the devices were removed from the workers' environments, most of the positive effects seen during the intervention vanished. More specifically, the intervention increased nonsitting behavior by 224% (by 66 minutes/day), which translated to a 16.1% reduction in sedentary time.
In addition, as part of the survey carried out at the end of the study period, the intervention group was asked about the perceived benefits of having the sit-stand devices in their workspaces: 87% said they felt more comfortable in their work environments, 87% said they felt more energized, 75% reported feeling healthier, 71% felt more focused, 66% felt more productive, 62% felt happier, and 33% said they felt less stressed in their jobs.
The researchers conclude, "The Take-A-Stand Project was able to show that improvement in health factors such as back health indicators and mood states are directly related to reductions in sitting time of workers engaged in sedentary job tasks. Overall, this project was successful in reducing sedentary behaviors of workers and suggests reduced sitting time improves worker health."

As a result, basic versions are often used for high-traffic areas, such as shops and offices, while decorative quarry tiles are used to create beautiful floors, splashbacks and countertops in homes and businesses. Quarry tile is baked from formed clay so it can be smooth or rough. If the tiles are intended for outdoor use or in damp or slippery conditions, a textured surface may be created by baking in fine grains of rock.
As unglazed clay is porous and quarry tile is typically used in busy areas, floors with these tiles can start to show wear long before they're worn out. The wear pattern is often uneven, with grout and tile in the busiest areas darkening most. Fortunately, the damage is rarely permanent. The most common explanation for the change is ingrained dirt which can be removed by professional cleaning.
Rescuing a quarry tile floor
Since opening our doors over 30 years ago, Clean-a-Carpet has restored thousands of floors and we've discovered some rare gems in that time. Quarry tile was commonly used as a floor in family homes before the Second World War. Many people have pulled up the carpets to find a dark, dirty tile that has been hidden for decades. By calling in a professional restoration crew, they've been rewarded with a beautiful period feature that adds value to the home – and often costs less than a new carpet. Quarry tile is incredibly durable, and we've rescued floors that have been hidden for decades.
Does it matter if I have a quarry tile, stone or porcelain floor?
If you've bought your property with the floor in place, you may not know whether you have quarry tiles, stone, porcelain or another type of tile. When cleaning and restoring a quarry tile floor, we use products and techniques that may not be suitable for other kinds of tile. If you're in any doubt as to the type of flooring you have, please book a free floor survey when you contact us for your free, no-obligation quote. We'll be able to visit your property and assess the floor and grouting in person.

Vicki's Wedding Invitations
Now Vicki has sent out her wedding invitations, I've been given the go ahead to share!
You may be surprised at how simple these cards are but Vicki's taste is very much like mine, clean and simple!
When Leigh and Vicki first came round to discuss what they wanted for their invitations, I explained what the options were and showed some samples of invitations I'd made for previous weddings.
They decided they'd like a single fold card, with a vellum overlay on the front and either two or three pages inside!
They also liked a dry embossed double line rectangle to go on the vellum to frame the stamping underneath.
They saw this idea on one of the previous invites but, on that one, it had a parcel in the middle of it.
I agreed because it's quite easy to create a dry embossed rectangle on vellum without the need of an embossing folder.........or so I thought!!
Choosing the colour was the easiest part because Cherry Cobbler matched the colour of the men's bow ties perfectly.
I really needed the Cherry Cobbler Ribbon that was in the Christmas catalogue as a combo with Emerald Envy Ribbon.
I only had about 10" left and needed 8 rolls!
I tried Stampin' Up! first and didn't haven't have any joy there.
I put a shout out to other demos via several different Facebook groups I'm in and only found one person with two partial rolls.
The last resort was my local art shop who were able to order some for me.
Although the colour is correct, it's not perfect like the Stampin' Up! ribbon would have been!
The three pages inside were going to be the invite, the poem and the directions.
Vicki agreed she'd create the three documents, save them on a USB stick, so she could bring it over and download onto my laptop.
The reason we planned it this way was that my laptop is connected to two printers, and one of them is a laser jet.
The print quality on this machine is so much better quality than an inkjet machine!
We also both felt that by transferring the document from one machine to another via a USB stick, there wouldn't be any distortion with the font or the layout.
The third page was the map but I couldn't get it to fit without having to forfeit all the margins, which made it look as if i was squeezing it in, which was what I was trying to do!
We decided to create the directions as an A5 flyer rather than a page.
Unfortunately, when I had been re-arranging the map to fit it as a page, the church moved to the shopping centre and the car park landed on a block of flats!
I didn't notice this, fortunately Vicki picked it up after she had collected the invites and the flyers!
Thank goodness we decided to do it as a flyer and not a page!
Leigh and Vicki chose our Shimmery White Cardstock for the base of their card, and we agreed that we needed a good quality ivory 120 gsm paper for the inside pages as we all agreed that white looked too stark.
Then we started planning the decoration on the front of the card, that would show through the vellum layer.
I showed them all the options available from SU but as Vicki, unlike her Mum, isn't all flowers, butterflies and cutsie things, I moved onto stamps I had from my pre-SU days!
We found the two intertwined rings with the words "to have and to hold", and then they chose WEDDING INVITATION in a lovely fancy font.
I showed Leigh and Vicki the difference between stamping in Cherry Cobbler Ink, and then stamping in Versamark and Cherry Cobbler Ink combined, sprinkling with Clear Embossing Powder and heat setting.
They both love the heat embossing!
Unfortunately, the sentiment stamp was photopolymer and old and started disintegrating after about twenty impressions.
This was being aggravated by continually washing the stamp as I was inking it up in Versamark and ink before stamping.
I found another stamp that was very similar but a much better font and I changed to stamping with Cherry Cobbler Ink and heat embossing.
I found I was getting much better results with a truer colour.
When I tried to dry emboss the triangle, I found that the amount of pressure I needed to get good results was causing the vellum to buckle, so I moved onto plan B.
I found the embossing folder that had the outside recatangle around the parcel, and cut the parcel out.
I remember seeing Dawn Giffiths doing something similar years ago and it worked a dream and it worked brilliantly for me, too!
Please let me know if you have any questions, or if I missed anything out!
Until tomorrow, happy crafting!

My Week #82
Sunday, 17 July 2016
I have had another incredible week, I keep saying this but right now everything is so good and I'm loving it. On Monday I chilled at home, got a few jobs done, made a layered smoothie for my blog post next week, went out to costa with my friend Dan for a much needed catch up. On Tuesday I went to charlies, we had such a lovely day together and went out for lunch together again and I had a delicious buttermilk chicken with cheese, salad and sweet potato fries, I was loving it. On Wednesday me and my girls went to Bristol together, I drove me and meg to the park and ride In Bristol where we got the bus into the centre and went to sundaes gelato for breakfast, I had a delicious crepe with strawberries, banana, white chocolate and ice cream. We then went shopping, I spent way too much money and am going to be saving from now on, haha who am I kidding that's never going to happen.
On Thursday I took Charlie out to Tyntsfield, I had wanted to go for so long because its such a nice place to go. So we went for a picnic together and walked round, it was so much fun and the weather was so beautiful! In the evening we went out with all our friends at the rugby club and really had such a good night. Charlie stayed over and I made a delicious cooked breakfast in the morning, we chilled and had a nice lie in, then went to get my disposables, I'm so disappointented with them though and was so annoyed. But we got some good food, then chilled before I took Charlie to work and came home and relaxed. On Saturday I had another lie in, did a few jobs, went out with my mum and just relaxed before going to work in the evening. Today I quickly went to see Charlie before heading to work and being stuck in there all day. Anyway, hope you've had a lovely week!

2016 Officially Takes Away An Iconic Woman
The dreadful year of 2016 is almost over but unfortunately continues to take great people from us. An iconic woman, Star Wars royalty, actress, author, and screenwriter, Carrie Fisher has passed on today (12/27) at an age too young of 60. Yes, our beloved Princess Leia Organa-Skywalker-Solo has entered the Force stream and we are left here. However, like many of those that have gone before her she leaves behind a life that can teach us all.
Carrie Fisher was destined to be the talent that we knew her as. She was the daughter of the pop singer Eddie Fisher and the actress Debbie Reynolds, so entertainment was clearly in her blood. While she tried to escape it while young, ultimately she was drawn back to it her early twenties. Much of her career is celebrated in the Star Wars universe starting back in 1977. She obviously reprised her roles in The Empire Strikes Back (80) and Return of the Jedi (83) and then again 32 years later for The Force Awakens. In 1986 she appeared in Woody Allen's acclaimed film Hannah and Her Sisters. The next year saw the arrival of her first book, Postcards From the Edge, which was a loosely based autobiographical novel, which later it would be turned into a film starring Meryl Streep and Shirley MacLaine.
After all of this, Fisher had done everything from The Man with One Red Shoe, When Harry Met Sally, Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery, Scream 3, and even a Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back cameo. She worked in the animation and video game world and even wrote a one woman show.
Fisher is more than just Princess Leia to us, and if she isn't then you need to understand why she is so important. Carrie Fisher is an actress that has always been open to her being bipolar. "I used to think I was a drug addict, pure and simple — just someone who could not stop taking drugs willfully," says Fisher. "And I was that. But it turns out that I am severely manic depressive."
It had taken her about 20 years and a mental breakdown to say these words publicly in an interview with Diane Sawyer on PrimeTime. "I have two moods," she explains. "One is Roy, rollicking Roy, the wild ride of a mood. And Pam, sediment Pam, who stands on the shore and sobs … Sometimes the tide is in, sometimes it's out." Manic depression, for those that do not know, is a chemical mood disorder, also called Bipolar Disorder, that is characterized by unpredictable mood changes. These are known as manic and depressive episodes.
Fisher was also very candid about her substance abuse issues over the decades, starting at the very young age of 13 when she began smoking marijuana. She said she later dabbled in drugs like cocaine , which she admits doing on the set of Empire Strikes Back, and LSD. Fisher explored her own issues with addiction in her 1987 book, Postcards from the Edge (mentioned above).
Despite all of this, Carrie Fisher was able to keep her career, she fought long and hard with her drug addiction and mental disorder and thankfully neither of these were the result of her passing. She remains a champion in all of our hearts. No, sadly Ms. Fisher suffered from a heart attack while she was aboard a flight from London to Los Angeles on Friday. While she was mentioned to be in stable condition, her daughter confirmed the beloved Princess' death by way of family spokesperson, Simon Halls. However, since then, both family and friends made beautiful statements that say everything about her character and how much she was loved.
Fisher's mother, Debbie Reynolds, wrote on her Facebook page, "Thank you to everyone who has embraced the gifts and talents of my beloved and amazing daughter. I am grateful for your thoughts and prayers that are now guiding her to her next stop. Love Carrie's Mother."
Former Star Wars co-star, Harrison Ford, said, "Carrie was one of a kind … brilliant, original. Funny and emotionally fearless. She lived her life, bravely … My thoughts are with her daughter Billie, her mother Debbie, her brother Todd and her many friends. We will all miss her."
Billie Lourde, her daughter had said in a statement when the actress passed, "She was loved by the world and she will be missed profoundly. Our entire family thanks you for your thoughts and prayers."
Mark Hamill, former-costar, sent out a Tweet saying, "No Words #Devastated" and then a picture of the two of them.
Here at Stream.Me we just want to say that an actress like Ms. Fisher, who steals the hearts of so many people in just three movies comes around once in a lifetime. Ms. Fisher was truly powerful both on screen and off and she will be missed. The Force was definitely strong with her and she will forever be remembered in the hearts of boys and girls for a long, long, time to come.
Johnny will be sitting at home eating comfort food and watching Star Wars, and most likely crying. If you need to find him and his mad ravings check him out on Twitter at @SomeBeardy2Love

What Are Your All-Time Favorite xoVain Articles?
It's gonna get sappy up in here.
If you live pretty much anywhere in America, you're probably familiar with the concept of the "ethnic" aisle where drug stores and pharmacies stock hair products targeted to black and multi-ethnic shoppers. Some see this practice as a convenience, some as a subtle form of discrimination, and some as a linguistic absurdity (we all have an ethnicity.) When we spoke to Jodie Patterson of multi-ethnic beauty site DooBop she spoke of her frustration with being sent to the back of the store when looking for a new shampoo or hair treatment. Other women might not have even stopped to contemplate it.
Whatever your opinions on planogramming beauty norms as a shopper, for companies, it points to a missed opportunity to capitalize on the flourishing multicultural market. African-American, Hispanic and Asian shoppers spend more on hair and beauty than the general population. L'Oreal at least is realizing this, having recently unveiled a Multicultural Beauty Division that brings together their brands Carol's Daughter and SoftSheen-Carson, WWD reports. It's not just smart, it's backed by science.
"Multicultural consumers may only be 39 percent of the total population now, but in 12 out of the 20 top cities, multicultural consumers are the majority and are representing 27 percent of the beauty spend," said Nicole Fourgoux, general manager for L'Oréal Multicultural Beauty. "Everybody is talking about the evolution of the population, but it really is happening today."
Research done by L'Oreal uncovered some not-too-shocking facts about the way we shop, including that there are gaps between what people want and what's on shelves, and that not everyone is thrilled to be sectioned off from the hordes of blonde haired, blue eyed women silent shilling hair color. "Consumers seek solutions to hair conditions such as thinning or wavy," says Lisa Price, founder of Carol's Daughter, a recent L'Oreal acquisition. Price cited research proving that people shop not by ethnicity but by need or hair type, such as thinning or wavy. In fact, 56 percent of those who buy her line HSN are Caucasian.
The brand now plans to school retailers on planogramming diversity, while marketing their current brands to women with all hair types. Whether drug stores will be jumping on board remains to be seen, but one thing is for sure — by the year 2043, there are going to be a lot less women identifying with the blonde women on hair dye boxes.

While Mark Giordano has been named a finalist for the Muhammad Ali Sports Humanitarian Of The Year Award, it isn't an individual honour for the Flames captain.
In fact, he feels the spotlight should be turned towards someone else – his wife Lauren.
Unfortunately Lauren, who is pregnant with the couple's second child, was unable to attend this evening's ESPN Sports Humanitarian Awards but for Mark, this evening's ceremony is very much about her and her tireless work with a variety of community initiatives.
"She should be standing right next to me. She does all the hard work, day-in and day-out," Giordano told CalgaryFlames.com. "Really, I've learned so much from her, the giving person that she is."
Candice Goudie, the Flames Foundation's executive director, has worked with Lauren over the past decade and is thrilled to see her work elevated and recognized through such an important platform.
"Lauren is an extraordinary human being," Goudie stated. "I've never met someone who gives and gives and gives. It's just a part of the fabric of who she is. The Team Giordano program is just one of the many projects that she and Mark have taken on and she is personally driving those efforts forward.
"She's so motivated by really positive things and she's motivated for all of the right reasons … she's never satisfied with her efforts and I think that's a really unique thing.
"She believes in her heart that there is more good to be done."
The Team Giordano initiative has partnered with the Calgary Board of Education to help provide resources and mentorship to four high-needs schools in the city. From purchasing computers to helping create unique learning spaces to making regular visits to the schools, the Giordanos have impacted the lives of over 1,900 students in Calgary.
In addition to handling the Team Giordano day-to-day operations, Lauren has spearheaded countless Flames Better Halves initiatives and has immersed herself in numerous community programs.
"Day-in and day-out, you can't say enough about what she does," Mark said after he was named a finalist. "She goes to schools, she's visiting the kids … she goes above and beyond.
"If you know her … and how much she's willing to give, she'll do things outside of the charity too. It's not just all about our charity. She's done Christmas toy drives for families in Calgary. We've had Syrian refugee families come into the city that Lauren is very passionate about and helps out.
"She does more than me. I'm on the road, traveling and playing hockey and she grinds it out and puts the real work in. She deserves as much, if not more, recognition as me."

Actress Sienna Miller and singer Emeli Sande are urging fans to sign up to a bone marrow donation register in support of a young girl who died of leukemia 10 years ago.
The two stars are joined in the campaign by more than 20 other famous Brits including Virgin founder Sir Richard Branson, The Wire star Dominic West, actor Richard E. Grant, and Homeland star David Harewood.
They all appear in a star-studied video urging fans to consider joining the Anthony Nolan bone marrow register in memory of Milly Forbes, who died after battling acute myeloid leukemia.
Game of Thrones star Rose Leslie, who was good friends with Forbes, she tells Britain's Daily Mail newspaper, "It is fantastic to see her legacy being continued, 10 years on, through this campaign. It is a fitting way to remember Millie this Christmas and hopefully to find a cure for people who are going through the same thing...
"The need for more donors, especially young men, to join the bone marrow register never goes away... Urge anyone between the ages of 16 and 30 to go to the Anthony Nolan website and see what it's all about. I can't think of a better feeling than potentially saving a life."
The #InspiredbyMillie project was set up by Forbes' sister and the short video will appear on the charity's website on Christmas Eve. (24Dec14).

Mumbai: A day after team Anna expressed shock over the high rentals demanded by the Maharashtra government for hiring out the MMRDA Grounds in central Mumbai for Anna Hazare's agitation, music composer and singer Vishal Dadlani volunteered to bear one day`s cost of the ground.
"The nation needs this movement. I strongly support Annaji and am doing my bit to show I care for my country," Dadlani told reporters.
"We are glad Vishal has volunteered to pick up the cost of one day`s ground fee of Rs.2 lakh," India Against Corruption (IAC) coordinator Praful Vora told reporters.
However, Vora said that IAC does have the option of holding the satyagraha at Azad maidan.
"But then, we will have to restrict the thousands of people who would want to come and support the agitation," said Vora.
"We are considering the MMRDA Grounds just so that we can accommodate more people. But if we are being asked to pay a heavy sum, we will have no option," he said.
Vora said that IAC was shocked at the state government`s stance of asking Hazare for a fee of Rs.2 lakh a day for holding satyagraha for a public cause, and that the government has also demanded 75 percent deposit above the basic fee of Rs.2 lakh.
"Vishal has assured IAC that many like-minded people would be happy to pick up these charges even if they are atrocious, we cannot afford to pay Rs.3.5 lakh everyday," he said.
Vora said that IAC is heartened by the stance of such eminent Indians who have offered their unflinching support to Hazare in his fight against corruption.
Team Anna members have said that Hazare would shift the venue of his proposed hunger strike starting Dec 27 from New Delhi to Mumbai in view of the harsh winter in the capital.

Christie: Increase retirement age by 2 years over next 25 years
Republican presidential contender Chris Christie said that the retirement age should be raised by two years over the next 25 years to address Social Security's financial woes, according to this article on Bloomberg. The government needs to change the rules for Social Security and other entitlement programs as these programs are "mortgaging away our children's future," Christie says. --Bloomberg
7 demands retirees should place on their money
As retirees depend on their retirement savings for income, they should ensure their money grows, is managed by a trusted custodian and invested in a tax-efficient manner, according to this article on MarketWatch. Retirees also should ensure their retirement income will continue until death and they have control over their assets. Having an emergency fund is a smart move, with a cost-efficient estate planning in place for their loved ones in the event they pass away. --MarketWatch
Are your aging parents less financially savvy than a high school dropout?
A study shows that accredited investors' financial literacy deteriorates with age and their ability to make sound financial decisions is poorer even than high school dropouts, according to this article on Forbes. Non-accredited investors' wealth usually reaches its peak when they are about 65, while accredited investors see their wealth remain plateau when they hit 80, the study finds. --Forbes
3 ways to dodge big Medicare premium hikes next year
Based on Medicare's annual trustees report, many beneficiaries can expect their Part B premium to see step increases next year, according to this article on Time Money.

They can also avoid the increase if they pay the premium through Social Security. --Time Money
How to save for retirement at your first job
Clients who get employed for the first time are advised to start saving for retirement, and to do that they need to set up automatic contributions to their 401(k) plans and take advantage of their employer's match contributions, according to this article in U.S. News & World Report. They are also advised to seek a tax break for their 401(k) contributions, consider holding an IRA and own a Roth account to minimize the tax burden.

Six months after hiring a new director of parks and recreation, the city of Miami is hiring a new director of parks and recreation.
The city has tapped Kevin Kirwin, assistant director of operations for Miami-Dade County Parks, to run a department that oversees more than 100 parks on a $32 million budget. Kirwin takes over for Stanley Motley, who resigned Friday morning as the city moved to fire him.
Motley, who before coming to Miami was director of the Marion Parks District in Illinois, explained when submitting his resignation to City Manager Daniel Alfonso that "due to family health issues I must immediately return to St. Louis."
Alfonso said he accepted Motley's resignation, though he'd written a termination letter the previous day and discussions had gone on for weeks about parting ways with the new parks director. He said Motley simply didn't work well with the team at City Hall.
"Miami, I guess, is a unique place, and he just didn't fit into the organization," Alfonso said. "If I made a mistake, and the gentleman didn't fit, I wanted to correct it as soon as possible."
Alfonso declined to explain why Motley "didn't fit." Motley did not return several phone calls and a text messages.
Alfonso said Kirwin will be hired at a $125,000 salary, the same as Motley. Lara De Souza will be interim director until Kirwin officially takes his new position.

American actor and comedian, had a role in Ghostbusters, Groundhog Day and Lost in Translation among others, and a winner of Golden Globe. Of course we are talking about the one and only Bill Murray. On these pictures you can see how Casey Weldon has drawn different personalities based on Bill Murray's face. This piece of work is a part of a project that is called "Bad Dads", and it will be shown in the Lopo gallery in San Francisco. It owns the slogan "what if it could be all Murray, all the time?", and the illustrations also represent Murray like a woman.
The fun part is that his face is the same, and it looks so much like the actor himself, that only by looking at the drawings you want to start laughing, because it looks like Murray is making a fool out of himself on purpose. Using actors to make something fun seems to be hip these days; actor Kevin Bacon was used as an inspiration to make a bust out of only bacon, how ironic.
