Hi friends! I just wanted to say that I'm officially back from maternity leave! Earlier this year I quietly shared my return on my social media channels because I wanted to slowly ease back into shoots. Fortunately, several of my past clients were ready to welcome me back with open arms which made the transition from mom to working mom much easier and pleasant (can't wait to share their shoots with you!). So after a lot of internal debating, I've made some significant decisions and changes to my business.
Some of the following decisions were not easy to make and I struggled with them for months but in the end it all came down to 2 things — wanting to be as present and involved as possible in River's life (especially his first years) and being able to serve each of my clients as well as possible. With that in mind, these are the changes I will be implementing:
- I will be pressing pause on weddings. I don't know yet if this will be a temporary break or a permanent one but for the time being I will not be booking any weddings. This was the most difficult decision to make because weddings were the reason why I became a professional photographer and I loved shooting them for the last 7 years. However, spending my weekends away from my son and family would be too difficult for me right now and it just wouldn't be fair to my wedding couples if I didn't give 100%.
- I will only be booking a VERY LIMITED amount of shoots a month and will be even more selective with the kinds of shoots and clients I work with. At some point in the near future, I will stop taking on new clients and only continue working with people I've photographed before.
- I'm now offering Mommy & Me sessions. As a mom, I totally get it — you're rarely in photos with your child(ren). I want to change that. Mommy & Me sessions will capture a morning and/or afternoon with your child(ren). This is a lifestyle shoot meaning the shoot will be in your home and the photos will capture moments rather than poses.
- Speaking of lifestyle, I'm also doing more Lifestyle sessions with families, couples, and even entrepreneurs who want to capture and share their day to day life. As mentioned above, these are candid and more photojournalistic style photos.
- I now offer packages instead of just a set price for most of my sessions. More information here.
I am currently booking shoots now so if you'd like more information or would like to reserve one of the few spots I have available each month, please send me an email.
As for blogging, my goal is to post at least 3 times a week with a newsletter somewhere in between. One thing that I will soon be sharing about is all that I've learned about business and photography in the last 8 years. I want to help new photographers and entrepreneurs succeed and not make the same mistakes I did when I was launching and building my business. I will also be discussing my adventures in motherhood (and lessons learned), being a self-employed working mom, sharing recent photoshoots, and much more.
Thank you for understanding and accepting all the changes that have been happening in my life. I'm doing my best to juggle everything and find balance and make sure every branch of my life is growing and thriving and bearing fruit.
As always, if you have any questions, blog post requests, or just want to say hey, please don't hesitate to shoot me an email! I'd love to hear from you! :)
P.S. If you'd like to be the first to hear about any photography specials and announcements, please sign up for our newsletter down below! Those on the list will be able to take advantage of specials before I publicly offer it on the blog or my social media channels. I'll also be sending out weekly newsletters soon that will be a more behind the scenes and personal look at my work and home life (more scoop on this later!).

Following is the speech by the Secretary for Transport and Housing, Ms Eva Cheng, at the luncheon meeting of the Hong Kong Institute of Directors, "Express Rail Link: The Fast Track to Future Economic Growth", today (December 14) :
Dr (Kelvin) Wong, ladies and gentlemen,
Good afternoon. It is my great pleasure to join you at this luncheon hosted by the Hong Kong Institute of Directors.
Over the years, the Hong Kong Institute of Directors has made significant contributions in maintaining Hong Kong's competitiveness through its great efforts to promote good corporate governance. In this regard your members have helped advance the status of Hong Kong Inc., both in China and internationally. We share this very important mission. The vigorous cross-boundary infrastructure programme that we are currently undertaking also aims at ensuring that Hong Kong stays competitive in the long term.
It is widely recognised that world-class connectivity is the prerequisite for economic advancement, bringing markets closer and making them more accessible. For Hong Kong and the Mainland, cross-boundary infrastructure projects that will serve us for many years to come is essential to achieving this connectivity. Leaders of the business sector have come out unswervingly to support the Government's efforts, including many of you in this room, for which I am most grateful. I am pleased to point out that we have made significant progress. The construction of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge will commence tomorrow. It will go a long way to improving the regional highway network and accessibility to the 50 million customer base in the western part of the Pearl River Delta and beyond.
Another cross-boundary project that has caught the public eye is the Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Hong Kong Express Rail Link, or XRL for short. Hong Kong's first high-speed railway that hopefully will come on stream in 2015 will completely change the way we travel and open up vast opportunities for businesses.
The XRL is strategically vital to Hong Kong. It will enable Hong Kong to connect with the 16,000-km national high-speed rail network, set to become the largest and most advanced of its kind in the world. The XRL will provide through train service to some 16 major Mainland cities, bringing Wuhan within five hours of Hong Kong, Xiamen in four hours, Shanghai in eight hours and Beijing within 10 hours. And our terminus is in West Kowloon, so most commercial districts including Central and Tsim Sha Tsui will be accessible within 15 minutes from the terminus by rail or by road. In other words we are building a domestic airport right in the heart of town that will offer a premium railway service (running at 100m per second) to these cities, but without the hassle of air travel. This also means access to cities south of Wuhan within a five hour radius is probably more efficient by high speed rail than by air. This customer base, counting the cities alone, boasts 80 million people.
Many people ask, and it is a legitimate question, what economic and social benefits the XRL will bring. Last Friday I took a group of journalists on the Beijing-Tianjin Intercity High Speed Railway, the first leg of that 16,000 km network I just mentioned. The 120-kilometre journey from Beijing to Tianjin took less than 30 minutes, offering both speed and comfort. The patronage in its first year of operation already reached 18.7 million, exceeding the original forecast. This first ever intercity line offers a good reference for Hong Kong as we ponder the benefits for ourselves. Economically it has stimulated investment and consumption for both cities. Socially it has provided a wider choice – opening up new options for job locations, leisure trips or even social ties. Environmentally the high speed railway reduces carbon emission by roughly 85% compared with air travel and 75% compared with buses.
The same benefits will be enjoyed by Hong Kong. Simply quantifying passenger time savings, the economic benefits of the XRL over 50 years of operation already amounts to some $87 billion, representing a very decent economic internal rate of return of 6%.
But we should go beyond just numbers. We believe that enhanced connectivity between Hong Kong and the Mainland will open up a wealth of new business opportunities. The ease and hence increase in contacts of residents of Hong Kong and the Mainland will facilitate the integration of the labour and consumer markets in the Pearl River Delta
Region. The greater synergy and complementarity so created will boost the overall productivity in the region, bringing direct benefits to Hong Kong.
The increase in Mainland visitors for our tourism, retail and catering sectors will also bring substantial economic gain and create jobs. It is only natural that there will be more Mainland residents coming to Hong Kong for day or weekend trips with the convenience offered by the XRL. The purchasing power of Mainland visitors has been more than felt in the past few years since the introduction of the Individual Visitors' Scheme. Taking a rough but conservative estimation – by assuming 10% of induced Mainland visitor trips (i.e., people coming to Hong Kong more frequently simply because of the ease of travel) - the additional spending brought about in Hong Kong could amount to $3 to $6 billion every year. By the same token, more Mainland customers will be attracted to come to Hong Kong for our wide range of professional services, whether banking, insurance, medical, legal or accounting, services in demand by an increasingly sophisticated and affluent customer base in the Mainland.
At a very practical level, just forget about such high level analysis for the moment, for those of us who have to make business trips to the Mainland, and I doubt if anyone can escape from this routine nowadays, saving travelling time means more time for the family and achieving better work-life balance. That applies to everyone, employer or employee. So it baffles me that some people suggest that the XRL is just for the rich or just for West Kowloon residents. Strategic infrastructure projects serve everyone and all businesses in Hong Kong.
At this point, I cannot help reflecting on the similarity of our XRL project with the Eurostar linking Britain and France in the 1980s. There were then heated discussions regarding the cost/benefit of the project when it was mooted. But the situation in Britain and France today only proves the concerns unfounded. The Eurostar has brought closer ties among the people of not only Britain and France, but also those living on the Continent. Many of us have also taken advantage of the Eurostar to enjoy multi-stop vacations in Europe. It is only reasonable to expect that many of our international guests in future will land at our airport, stay a few days in Hong Kong and proceed to several Mainland cities by the XRL and return to Hong Kong before they head home.
In case you still have any lingering doubts, let me assure you that the XRL is not the most expensive in the world. Like with like, it costs less than the Channel Tunnel, which costs US $488 million per kilometre at today's price. The cost of the Hong Kong section of the XRL is high because we are building 26km of tunnels so as to avoid many environmental problems. Plus the fact that we are submerging the station below ground level to give back as much open space and greenery to the community.
Ladies and gentlemen, in a few days' time, the Finance Committee of the Legislative Council will discuss our funding application for the Hong Kong section of the XRL. The project has been discussed for nearly 10 years. There is clear community consensus for its early construction. We cannot afford to wait any more. The Guangzhou section which we will connect to will be completed in phases by 2012.
The Wuhan to Guangzhou section was test run a few days ago and broke the world record by running at 394km per hour. Subject to the funding approval, the construction of the XRL will start this month for completion in 2015. Let's get on with the fast track for future economic growth.
On this forward looking note, let me wish you all good health and a happy festive season ahead. Thank you.

Rhinoplasty for Men
A nose by any other name would smell as sweet. It makes no difference, then, whether you are a man or a woman or what kind of nose you have. Everyone's nose has the same olfactory function, but not all noses are blessed with the same appealing shape or appearance.
In increasing numbers, men are turning to rhinoplasty to change the look of their nose but without fundamentally altering its masculine structure. This is where the cosmetic goals of men and women tend to diverge. When considering nose surgery, women are often looking for significant or dramatic results to achieve a more attractive and feminine appearance. The "male nose job," by contrast, often has more specific goals in mind. A male patient may opt for nose surgery to remove a dorsal hump or to soften the appearance of a hooked or drooping nasal tip.
Change your Nose
Other male patients are looking to narrow the width of a "dominant" nose or reduce the overall size of the nose to balance out the face. Or they simply want to improve the overall shape of the nose but without dramatically changing its basic structure. Men, in sum, want a better looking nose that unmistakably says "me, mine, and man." They don't want results that appear feminine. In cases related less to aesthetics and more to function, men may undergo rhinoplasty to open blocked airways or repair a deviated septum.
Regardless of a patient's gender, the techniques used in nasal surgery are the same and the risks and benefits are also the same. There is a slight risk of infection or nosebleeds following nose surgery, or a temporary loss of smell.
Many Men are Choosing Rhinoplasty
That many men are choosing rhinoplasty for a more satisfying appearance is reflected in the more than 240,000 individuals who underwent rhinoplasty in 2012, 25% of whom were male according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS). No longer is there a stigma attached to male rhinoplasty. A good example is Iran, rated the "nose job capital of the world," where some 200,000 people are having nasal corrective surgery each year. Many of these patients are men. In today's unisex world there are no gender barriers in nasal surgery, just different cosmetic goals and objectives.

Ex-White House staffer Sebastian Gorka.(Photo by: JONATHAN ERNST / REUTERS)
Gorka says McMaster has 'Obama lens' on threat of radical Islam
By MICHAEL WILNER
'I never heard national security adviser say anti-Israeli things'
WASHINGTON – Sebastian Gorka, a senior staffer at the White House until last week, came to the defense on Sunday of H.R. McMaster, President Donald Trump's
national security adviser
who last month endured a far-right campaign against him over his posture toward Israel.
In an interview with
The Jerusalem Post,
Gorka said he had not once heard H.R. McMaster speak critically of the state in his six months since taking office.
"I'm not here to feed stories of palace intrigue – I hate that, and I'm still loyal to the president and his agenda," Gorka said. But "I have never heard Gen. McMaster say things that are anti-Israeli. I've never heard that."
Gorka did, however, offer harsh criticism of McMaster's stance toward Islamists, speaking of the violent extremism as a problem inherent to Islam itself.
McMaster "sees the threat of Islam through an Obama administration lens, meaning that religion has nothing to do with the war we are in," Gorka said. "He believes – and he told me in his office – that all of these people are just criminals. That is simply wrong."
Gorka was the subject of a series of news reports early in his tenure in the administration over his ties to Vitezi Rend, a Hungarian political party with historic ties to Nazi Germany.
He said the subject never came up "openly" among White House staff.
"The attacks against me never came up openly inside the building," he said.
"The only time they would come up is when Jared [Kushner] would joke about them. He would always joke about the latest absurd accusation to be made. But it's possible they came up privately."
Gorka left the White House on Friday as an embattled adviser. He insists he offered his resignation willingly, but an anonymous White House official claims otherwise.
Originally brought into the Trump administration by Steve Bannon of Breitbart News – who until two weeks ago served as the president's chief strategist – Gorka said he saw a "limited future" in a White House without Bannon around, and decided on his own to depart.
"He was the person that I reported to directly," he said. "It had become clear to me with the pro-Trump individuals at NSC being fired, and being squeezed out of the policy- making process, that I too had a limited future in the White House as a strategist to the president."
Gorka's role was scrutinized in recent weeks by the president's new chief of staff, John Kelly, who upon assuming his role sought to impose structure on a fluid West Wing staff.
Gorka says he was not part of the president's response strategy to a white power rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, earlier this month, which shook the nation, nor was it a factor in his departure.
But those who organized the rally don't represent Trump's movement to Make America Great Again, he asserted.
"You don't make the views of a rabid extremist minority," he said.
"You don't allow your policies to become hostage to an extremist minority that is racist."

A well-groomed pet can mean fewer allergic reactions
Animal-induced allergies affect approximately 10 million pet owners. But choosing a breed that sheds less frequently and regularly grooming whatever pet you choose can help alleviate the symptoms.
What causes allergic reactions
Allergic reactions aren't really caused by fur, as most people suspect. Instead, dander is the culprit. Dander is a combination of dead skin cells and dried proteins found on animals' skin or in their saliva, and it's spread through the air when they shed or groom themselves. Some people have mild reactions, like itchy eyes, while others develop more severe reactions, like asthma. By regularly brushing and grooming your pet, you can reduce the amount of fur that's shed and the amount of dander that becomes airborne along with it.
How grooming helps
Regularly brushing and grooming your pet can reduce the amount of fur that's shed and the amount of dander that becomes airborne along with it. That means fewer allergens swirling around your home—and fewer or less severe allergic reactions for you.
Begin by bathing your pet once a week and brushing him every day. If you don't have time to do your complete grooming routine, wipe your pet down with wet paper towels instead. You can also try a dry shampoo that simply brushes out of your pet's hair, taking allergens with it. If grooming your pet makes your allergy symptoms flare, ask someone else to take over the task, or have your pet professionally groomed.

According to the Alaska Sealife Center October Newsletter released today: "Aku will be moved out of his current location soon. Aku was rescued from Nome, Alaska on June 14th. If you would like to see Aku, be sure to visit by Sunday, October 15."
I visited again today, just before the 2:00 bottle feeding. Aku was napping comfortably on his black raft when the caregiver arrived with a huge bottle of milk and vitamins. After a short drink, she took Aku for a walk around the outdoor pool for exercise. He followed her obediently like a giant puppy, then was allowed to empty the bottle. Lunch was followed by cuddle time, which included lots of love and pets. From the smiles on the caregiver's face, it must have tickled when Aku sucked on her fingers!
Aku has come a long ways from the scrawny, dehydrated, and injured calf that arrived in such precarious condition in June. As of October 2, he had doubled his weight to 220 pounds! Congratulations to the Alaska Sealife Center staff and visiting experts for their excellent care!
News on the location of Aku's new home is yet to be released.

EWING >> Revenge games are going to become commonplace for the Ewing High girls basketball team, at least for the last few weeks of February.
They all started Monday when the Blue Devils hosted a Steinert squad, which upset them 10 days ago.
Not wanting to lose out on a chance at sharing the Colonial Valley Conference Patriot Division crown, coach Mike Reynolds' team proved up to the challenge, especially when the Spartans came out on fire and kept the game even through the first eight minutes of play.
On the strength of a big second quarter, Ewing made life hard on their visitors on the way to a 66-53 victory.
"We wanted to start off strong and get momentum," Blue Devils junior guard/forward MyAsia Jackson said. "They stayed with us early, but when we play the way we did in the second quarter, nobody's going to beat us."
After Natalie Mehl hit five 3-point field goals in the first quarter to help Steinert tie things at 17, Ewing tightened its defense in the second quarter to forge a 26-7 run. Jackson got a 20-1 run going when she hit a 14-foot- jump shot, grabbed a defensive rebound at the other end and led Jaycee Lowe for a 3-pointer.
"It was like a big brawl, back and forth," Jackson said. "But we wanted revenge."
Jackson, who has been dealing with a bone bruise in her foot, turned up the heat to score in double figures for the first time since the last Steinert game. Her 18 points led the Blue Devils (19-4, 7-1), who also saw Lowe and Mya Grimes score 13 points apiece. Kiyla Peterson also provided nine points and eight assists.
"We played well in the first quarter, but we've got to work on our second quarter," said Mehl, who topped all scorers with 22 points and six treys in the game. "Ewing's tough. It seemed like everything was falling for them."
That may have been the case through halftime when the home team took a 43-24 edge into the locker room. But when Steinert closed the third quarter with a 10-3 surge of its own, the vistors showed a little fight of their own.
"We did stick together and kept our energy up," Mehl said.
Erika Golik added nine points, eight rebounds, two steals and two blocked shots to keep coach Kristin Jacobs' team battling back in the second half. The closest the Spartans could get was 11 points (59-48 and 64-53) in the last four minutes before the revenge factor won out for the Blue Devils.
Golik 2-5-9, Dorner 2-2-6, JoJones 0-0-0, Mehl 8-0-22, Bing 3-0-7, Collazo 3-0-7, CWood 0-0-0, Haley 1-0-2, Pappas 0-0-0.
Totals — 19-7-53.
Grimes 4-5-13, KiylPeterson 3-3-9, Gillette 3-1-7, TDavis 0-0-0, Lowe 5-0-13, MJackson 8-0-18, Sheridan 2-1-6.
Totals — 25-10-66.
Steinert (17-5) 17 7 13 16 — 53 Ewing (19-4) 17 26 13 10 — 66
3-point goals — Mehl 6, Bing, Collazo (S), Lowe 3, MJackson 2, Sheridan (E).

At the end of the road was the Grand View Point Overlook, and there was a guy sitting on the edge of an overhang.
"That's it," yelled his wife, "don't go any further!"
Me, "aw, let him…"
She, "no way, I can't hook up that damn trailer by myself."
Meanwhile he had wandered over to the very edge. Peering down he called back, "only two steps to the bottom. The first is about 80 feet, the second 300."
A third bystander also looking down commented, "Wow, that's a damn big hole!"
Of course, after all that fuss Al had to go do the same damn fool thing…
This is at the Grand View Point Overlook in Canyonlands National Park, Utah. More of the Daily Post's Weekly Photo Challenge: Edge

To be sure that your motorhome fits your travel needs and has affordable insurance coverage, it's important to first become familiar with the types of motorhomes. To help you better understand how motorhome classes can affect your insurance premiums and coverage, our insurance experts at Tristar Insurance San Diego discuss the three primary motorhome classes.
Class A Motorhomes
Class A motorhomes are generally the largest and most luxurious motorhomes, easily costing over a million dollars. Despite their size, non-professional drivers are allowed to drive these vehicles without special permits. As a result, insurance is often expensive for these motorhomes because it is easy for non-professional drivers to get into accidents. Plus, as some of the Class A motorhomes are not legally required to have air bags or other safety equipment, these vehicles often have higher insurance premiums than the other two classes.
Class B Motorhomes
This type of motorhome is the smallest class of self-powered recreational vehicles. These vehicles are typically made from passenger and commercial style delivery vans. Unlike Class A motorhomes, these vehicles are required to have air bags and other safety equipment. Overall, Class B motorhomes are smaller, easier to drive, and most often have the same safety features that non-RV passenger and commercial vehicles have. Though non-professional drivers are also the primary users of Class B vehicles, the drivability of these motorhomes makes the premiums for this type of vehicle less expensive than Class A motorhomes.
Class C Motorhomes
As a general rule, Class C motorhomes are smaller than both Class A and B motorhomes. Even so, Class C motorhomes often have large powerful gasoline or diesel engines, which makes them capable of carrying and towing heavy loads. This hauling capacity makes Class C motorhomes popular among RV enthusiasts who frequently carry racing vehicles, motorcycles, and watercrafts inside the vehicles' holding area. While some sizes of Class C motorhomes require special driver licensing in most states, the insurance for this type of motorhome is usually much cheaper than Class A or B.
Once you've purchased your new motorhome, you will need an affordable insurance policy that can help protect your vehicle. If you're concerned with finding a San Diego motorhome insurance provider that offers comprehensive insurance, contact American Tristar Insurance in San Diego. We are committed to providing high-caliber auto and motorhome insurance to give you peace of mind on your next RV trip. Call us at (619) 325-0326 for a free quote today.

Following a design by GROUP A, the internal refurbishment of the Nieuwe Kerk in Zierikzee has recently started. Timber floors and part of the church benches were removed, and both the pulpit and the organ have been wrapped up. Main objective of the interior rejuvenation is to improve the church facilities for hosting cultural events, concerts and church services.Photo: Omroep Zeeland
Refurbishing the Nieuwe Kerk with relatively simple means, has from the start been key to the enhancement of the curch's status within the community of Zierikzee and the wider region. Slender engineered draft lobbies either side of the centrally positioned multifunctional 'furniture piece', allow the monumental doors to remain open unaffected. Historic features such as the organ and pulpit will be retained as a strong reference to the original use of the building.Image: GROUP A
The site of the present Nieuwe Kerk, used to be the location of a former large cathedral that burned down in 1832. Since 1977 the church has been run by the 'Foundation for Ancient Churches Zeeland', which provided the funds to have the church renovated and restored during the years 1978-1988 and 2011-2012.
All refurbishment works will be completed end 2013.
The movie of Blokvier Media shows start construction refurbishment Nieuwe Kerk Zierikzee.
Omroep Zeeland also made a nice report about the renovation of the Nieuwe Kerk Zierikzee, including an interview with Chris Woltjes of GROUP A.

Gordonia: Movie Review
Rating: 7/10
Cast: Graham Gordon
Director: Tom Reilly
A doco about one man's fight to keep a little part of West Auckland free
from the red tape of district councils.
Shot over a seven year period, Gordonia focuses on Graham Gordon and his
fight against the Waitakere District Council and their push to try and get him
to clean up what's called in TV archive reporting, a hippy haven.
Graham's land is littered with cars and transients and offers a respite to
those who can't find the peace they need elsewhere.
But, perhaps inevitably with that kind of description, you can see how that
may cause clashes - and Gordon's accused of breaching environment court acts as
well as various district council pushes.
So it all comes to a head - with council members and the police moving onto
his land to clear it up - and clashes are on the cards.
Gordonia is an intriguing look at bureaucracy and how it's affected one life
- and indirectly many more.
Tom Reilly's film making's non-intrusive and documents the human face of
legislation very well - it's a sly eye onto how lives are irrevocably changed by
people sat behind desks.
But it's also maddening at times because with continual no-shows from the
district council for interview, he's left only to onscreen captions to give
their point of view - and that's frustrating because there's never a 100%
rational debate (which maybe there never will be.)
However, it's Reilly's access to his subject and the people who live on the
land (whom Gordon wryly notes "most of them are a bit different" before Reilly
cuts to a guy with a mullet smashing a car with a hammer) which gives this doco
a human face and an easy accessibility.
Yet it's Gordon who's the hero of this - a man so apparently baffled by the
council's refusal to grant permits or to submit to reasonable requests that he's
probably likely to be cheered on by many who've suffered at the hands of a
faceless office worker and the brutality of bureaucracy.
He's got an overt humanity and ease of character - he's the kind of guy who
when the pressure's on in court turns to his friend and remarks on the tie he's
wearing rather than the possibility of facing jail.
Gordonia is a real slice of West Auckland and equally an insight into office
life and district plan politics - whether any of it changes when we become the
Super city remains to be seen.

Inmates were moved out of the Goodwill Industries run Largo work release center at 4 a.m. Friday after state officials found "multiple violations of department policy."
Inmates were moved out of the Goodwill Industries run Largo work release center at 4 a.m. Friday after state officials found "multiple violations of department policy."
The center is the state's largest work release facility and has been the source of complaints by residents.
Gov. Rick Scott's office released a statement from Corrections Secretary Mike Crews that cited "multiple violations of department policy" by Goodwill Industries after an 11-day surveillance investigation by the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office.
"The most egregious of these was an inaccurate inmate count conducted by Goodwill which allowed an escaped inmate to go undetected for almost three hours, as well as continuing to allow inmates to walk to a nearby employer after such activity had been prohibited," Crews' statement said.
Scott said he supported the decision and said he appreciated the work of Sheriff Bob Gualtieri and state Sen. Jack Latvala, R-Clearwater, on the issue.
For security reasons, prison officials do not discuss details of movement of inmates early Friday.
"I think my constituents … are going to be ecstatic," Latvala said. "I obviously hoped for this result, but I've got to say I'm surprised at how quickly the governor moved. He's really shown me something today."
Tampa Bay officials called for the state to shut down the center on Thursday, after an undercover operation by Gualtieri's office exposed more issues at the facility.
Gualtieri sent deputies to observe the center for 11 days earlier this month after repeated complaints from nearby residents. He said his deputies saw several instances of what he called "suspicious activity," including:
• Inmates stashing banned items such as lighters and mobile phones in bushes or other hiding places before returning to or leaving the facility.
• An inmate who rode a bicycle to 58th Street and Roosevelt Boulevard to conduct what Gualtieri called "a hand-to-hand transaction." Investigators also saw two inmates go to a nearby motel known for drug activity.
• And in one case that Gualtieri said particularly galled him, a detective was approached by a Goodwill employee who said the detective's undercover car matched the description of a vehicle used to help an inmate escape the previous night. Yet Goodwill had not reported the escape to authorities, as required by its contract with the state.
The Largo Residential Re-Entry Center, at U.S. 19 near Whitney Road, has been a sore point for years among neighbors, partly because of the large number of inmates who are allowed to walk unsupervised from the center to jobs in the community.
But the controversy intensified in September after an inmate escaped — leaving the center several hours before his restaurant shift began — and killed two men in St. Petersburg. Less than three months later, another inmate raped a 17-year-old Japanese exchange student near the center. That inmate had left for work nearly an hour before his shift began at a business just a five-minute walk away.
Investigations by the Tampa Bay Times have shown a pattern of lax supervision at the center and that, contrary to popular belief, violent inmates were often housed there and at other state work release facilities. After the Times published a story in February, the state stopped allowing murderers into the program. Sunday's Times, an in-depth investigation detailed more problems, including lax discipline, improper sexual activity by inmates and Goodwill's failure to verify inmates were working.
"I really thought that Goodwill would get a handle on the situation and get that place straightened out," said Latvala, who met with residents in May.
The morning after that meeting, Latvala met with Gualtieri.
He said after getting the sheriff's report this week, it became clear Goodwill had to go.
"They know they're in the wrong on this," he said.

Everyone says T5 fluorescent will be the last category to fall to LED. That was certainly the thinking a few years ago, but now that the Big Three have all unveiled LED tubes with decent stats, no-one's quite sure.
The smart money has been on high bay luminaires as the last bastion of traditional light sources; after all, you need a hell of a lot of poke to illuminate an out-of-town branch of PC World and the only man for the job is a metal halide.
But a new wave of LED high bays from the Far East is hitting the market. So we decided to choose one of the best and subject it to Lux magazine's famous – and famously rigorous – benchtest.
Where to start? Well, we've been really impressed by the kit that Dublin-based engineering company Lita Lighting has been bringing out. Originally a Spanish company, Lita Lighting is headed by entrepreneur Sean Carthy, who is an evangelist for LED lighting.
The company's first high bay features a Chinese assembled array and body, with the LEDs themselves coming from Taiwan.
The test results were impressive for this technology: we measured an output of 11,320 lumens at an input power of 185.57 watts, giving an efficacy of 61 lumens per watt.
Now while that doesn't sound like a traffic-stopping metric, consider this: the 150W metal halide-based high bays on the market have outputs between 9,600 and 11,500 lumens. The best of them – Cooper's Pacemaker – has an efficacy of 67.1 lumens per watt and the average lumen package of a 150W high bay is 61.3 lumens per watt.
Holding its own
So the Lita LED high bay can more than hold its own in metal halide company. The maintenance story is very compelling – after all, these could almost be marketed as fit and forget.
We didn't get the photometric results of the Lita High Bay in time for this issue, but we suspect that the distribution may let them down for certain applications.
If you are looking for light on the ceiling and upper reaches of the walls, then this is not for you. But if you want to put light downwards, and don't ever want to see a cherry picker or scaffolding tower, then you should consider LED.
Lita says it's in the process of developing a 200W version for ceiling heights of up to 15 metres. It says this fitting will hit the 80 lumens per watt mark. This efficacy will beat all the 250W metal halides on the market at the moment — and most of the 250W too.
Still it's horses for courses. As we always say, efficacy isn't everything. Where an attractive lit environment is crucial – such as in retail – distribution and colour rendering will be equally important.
OUTPUT 11,320 lumens
EFFICACY61 lm/W
NOMINAL LIFE50,000 hours
In our tests, the efficacy of this high bay matches the industry average for 250W metal halide lamps. So no reason to switch on that alone. But the LED wins hands down on maintenance — it shouldn't need any. If maintenance is important to you, get LED. If the lit environment is, stick with metal halide for now.
The benchtest took place at Lux magazine's official test house, the highly respected laboratories of 42 Partners in Wolverhampton. The tests were conducted in a 3.5m integrating sphere, one of the largest in the UK, and all measurements were taken in accordance with EN13032 and performed with the luminaire in a horizontal, LEDs down orientation. The photometric centre of the luminaire was taken as the geometric centre of the cover and the photometric nadir was taken to be perpendicular to the front face.
The lumen output and power consumption of the lamp was determined at 25°C after 100 hours of burn-in.

Film Review: Like Father, Like Son
Why does a parent love a child?
Two answers come to mind. One, because the child is yours - they are of your blood. And two, because in raising them, you grow to love them.
Like Father, Like Son is a film that plays on the tension between these two reasons, drawing them apart and setting them in opposition to one another. It follows two families in contemporary Japanese society, each raising a son. Six years into the childhood of these boys born on the same day, the hospital contacts them to let them know that they were accidentally switched at birth. Two sets of parents are placed in an impossible situation.
It's an intriguing setup and the film takes its time to explore the concept of parental love in appropriate depth. The film is shot in a clean, simple style, and the cultural idiosyncrasies of Japan recede into the background as the narrative emphasizes more universalist questions.
It's an interesting frame to think about: we all consider parental love as unconditional, but isn't it conditional on biological relatedness? Isn't the correct biological paradigm of adoption as one of an erroneous form of attachment? An ape executing an algorithm in the wrong way, failing to accede to its own genetic interest?
Spoiler alert: the film ultimately answers this question in the negative. The origin of our capacity to love doesn't matter - it matters only that we do love, and no matter the ruthlessness of the savanna plains from which it arose, we can choose transcendence.
Indirectly, then, Like Father, Like Son affirms the idea that love can have meaning outside of its biological constraints - that we can choose the meaning that we attach to love. This was ultimately the same point I wanted to make in writing Beta Male.
In conclusion: four stars out of five.

Getting acquired is the dream of every startup. One of the major players want to sweep in and purchase your humble product. Of course, this is not easy and for the majority of businesses, this will never happen. A renewed sense of optimism has arisen as PayPal continues its acquisition spree by purchasing eCommerce platform Modest for an undisclosed free.
So how do you increase your chances of getting acquired?
This guide is going to show you five of the assets that you need to get acquired in 2016.
A Superior Team
With the boom in startups, there's a serious shortage of talent in practically all industries. In the tech industry, for example, it's a major mark of honor to have someone who is above average. That's because the majority of the best are already working for the likes of Google and Apple.
The top corporations have quickly acquired startups in recent years partly because they want to acquire the talent working for them. An idea can never get off the ground without the right team behind it.
Make sure you are making inspired hires.
Disruptive Innovation
What is disruptive innovation?
This is the type of innovation that happens when companies discover new customer categories. They then create products or services to target this new category, thus leading to brand new markets. Big companies have big decisions to make when this happens.
They either have to hold on to their profitable markets or consider investing in new and lucrative markets. The tech industry tends to see companies acquiring startups so they can gain a foothold in these new markets. The more competitive the niche the more likely big companies are going to seek to acquire startups.
One of the most important assets you can have as a startup is disruptive innovation.
Market Share
As always, market share is important. If a company is operating in a new industry and they own 35% of that industry, a large corporation realizes that the moment they can acquire that company they will also own 35% of the share. In the event that they are also part of the competition, a company can gain an effective monopoly via acquisitions.
Take a look at social media to see how this works. Facebook is no longer popular among teens. They are more popular among older demographics. Now take a look at Snapchat. Its main user demographic is teens. It's no surprise that Facebook has attempted to acquire the company on many occasions, thus maintaining its market dominance.
If you own a significant share in a lucrative market, this is sure to attract big investors.
A Complementary Product
Startups don't always have to forge new markets or produce something completely new. It happens where a startup discovers a flaw with a product and then they produce a product that solves this problem. For example, when Twitter first came to prominence startups began creating products to add new features not provided by the platform.
Twitter acquired a lot of them because they knew that they could add new features while also attracting users who already loved the new features.
Intellectual Property
Sometimes a company wants to create something but it can't. Google may have a brilliant idea in mind, but they are prevented from making it a reality because the vital piece of intellectual property is owned by someone else. Even Google can't break the rules and push on.
Instead, Google has no choice but to purchase the company and its intellectual property. This has led to a weapons war where larger companies will seek to acquire smaller companies with the sole purpose of making sure that other companies can't acquire those intellectual resources.
As a startup, how do you capitalize on this, though?
You really have to gear your startup towards acquiring intellectual property if you want to operate this type of business model. You need to develop a strong insider knowledge of your industry.
For most people, this will be an added bonus of releasing an awesome product in the first place. You may discover that the company in question has no interest in your product. All they want is the intellectual property you actually own. Following acquisition, they will take your product and release a much-improved version, or even something new entirely.

1) Select the sentence that properly cites the following source:
Parker, P. (2015) The truth is out there: Are you ready? The Journal of Science and Mythology, 14(5), 321-345.
"Two hundred radioactive spider bites were examined over the course of two months, and no evidence of superhuman abilities in the victims was found. Of course, given the circumstances and current political climate, a victim of a radioactive spiderbite who actually gained powers beyond the usual human spectrum might not willingly display her newly acquired gifts for fear of further study and possible incarceration."
Parker writes that people with superpowers might be afraid to come forward with their special abilities.
According to one researcher, "no evidence of superhuman abilities in the victims was found." (Parker)
As Parker (2015) discovered, people who have been bitten by radioactive spiders may not wish their special powers to be known.
People with super powers are jerks (Parker 2015).

Corner Canyon High students aim to improve Draper's substance abuse problems
Mar 27, 2017 02:55PM ● Published by Julie Slama
Members of Corner Canyon High's Peer Leadership Team (PLT) traveled to Washington, D.C. to attend a national conference on how to create an action plan to reduce substance abuse in their community. Here, PLT members take part in Draper's Communities that Care sponsored night where they shared peer refusal skills. (Julie Slama/City Journals)
Six Peer Leadership Team (PLT) members from Corner Canyon High learned ways they could help their community after attending the national Community Anti-Drug Coalition of America Conference.
The conference, held Feb. 6 through Feb. 10 in Washington, D.C., combined learning leadership skills and ways to approach substance abuse and bullying situations.
"We learned how to analyze our community to addresses issues that need to be improved," junior Nic D'Amico said. "We want to provide more service and take the initiative as PLT members to help our community."
Junior Nic Fink said they learned how to use information they knew to put in an action plan.
"We created a problem statement: youth vaping Draper," he said. "Then, identified how to deal with it, such as risk factors, social access — easy to get to vaping and who to talk to about making it illegal or harder to obtain. We saw the problem, that is easy enough, and realize that we need to take action, which is harder."
Through a break-out session, the students were able to identify places they knew where people get and use abusive substances, said junior Gianna Gist.
"We want to speak to our representatives and senators as well as our local leaders on how to change regulations so it isn't as easy to get these things, like e-cigs," she said.
Many of the students realize there are problems with e-cigarettes at their school and know students who vape.
Corner Canyon senior Cole Barkey said that while on the football team, he realized he was headed on a path downward with substance abuse.
"It's not who I am or what I wanted to be like so I got involved in PLT," he said. "I know from past experience, who is involved and where they are getting it. Some don't even hide it. We all know a couple friends who are doing it and when it's happening and where."
Senior Kaitlyn Wamper said part of what they learned is how to better inform students and spread the word on the issues involved in using e-cigs.
"We want to help spread the word through our school health and wellness week and at Draper Days," she said. "We're working with the Draper Communities that Care coalition, the police, Salt Lake County Health Department and others to reduce vaping and substance abuses and know the health issues concerning them."
Fink said his own family went through the effects of substance abuse after his mother got involved in it.
"My parents ended up divorcing, but it affects everyone and often people don't realize that. High schoolers don't realize the adverse effects it has. I've personally seen how bad decisions affect others and would like to see that stopped," he said.
Other common substance abuse issues, such as alcohol, marijuana and prescription drugs, recently were addressed in a multi-school community presentation coordinated by Draper's Communities that Care coalition, in which Corner Canyon PLT took part.
Junior Abby Smith said that attending the national conference helped them build a base for implementation this year to impact their school and community.
"We have an opportunity to take the initiative with these issues this year and to continue serving our community next year," she said.
In addition to attending the conference, the students with their adviser Russ Boyer visited many Washington, D.C. sights, including several monuments and memorials, Museum of Natural History, Gallery of Art, U.S. Holocaust Museum and Arlington Cemetery, where they saw Draper Police Officer Derek Johnson's name on a memorial for fallen officers.
The six students who attended the conference were selected for their involvement and leadership with PLT at their school and community through planning, organizing and holding eight in-class assemblies at Corner Canyon as well as involving middle schools in pledging to stay tobacco-free, said Lauren Bartsch, Salt Lake County health educator in the Tobacco Prevention and Cessation Program.
The students received a grant in January to attend the conference through the Utah Strategic Prevention Framework Partnership for Success Project in Salt Lake County, which uses prevention services for underage drinking and substance abuse prevention.

I was born in 1956, in Bucharest, Romania, a country from "behind the Iron Curtain" in those times. Although my education was as an engineer, my passion for photography was formed in childhood. I held my first camera at 14 and I have been cutting out slices of reality with it ever since.
During the revolution in December 1989 I wandered the streets with my camera and took advantage of the chance I had been waiting for all my life. Romanians were free again and I couldn't be less - resigning my job, I pursued the long expected career as a photographer. I spent eight years working for press agencies such as AFP, EPA, Sygma or AP and then moved towards commercial photography.
A different world with different rules. Working in my own studio was a huge challenge, but all this time, photojournalism kept whispering in my ear, beckoning me. So I started to travel.
Now I'm working only on personal projects, be fascinated by the culture and vision of the various people from all around the world.
And this very vivid image appeared to me. A schoolboy, 45 ago, skipping classes, wondering through his town, with his Praktica photo camera and some Orwo films in his pockets. And that's who I will always be.

The last time I was prancing around in a two piece, I was about seven years old. It was a pink barbie set that I strictly named my 'party outfit'. What can I say? I was very much a wild party girl. I can actually recall being very disappointed when I grew out of the outfit. However, I was also quite proud that I'd grown at all- forever on the small side. After the Barbie set was sadly waved a 'goodbye', two pieces were forgotten. That is until this month, thirteen years later.
Ironically, I feel this two piece has some 2000's pop-group vibes going on. Literally the same time era as when I had my Barbie outfit. I actually really like channeling those vibes; it's fun to wear something a little different.
I can recall really wanting to try out a two piece around two years ago. However, I was still in this grey place filled with body insecurities, confidence issues and battles with being very overweight. I was by no means prepared to try on a cute little outfit. Every two piece I liked revealed a lot of skin and I was simply not comfortable in my own body.
Everything's changed so much now.
As soon as my eyes fell upon this gorgeous two piece, I ordered it immediately. It never even occurred to me how I was so adamant not to even take a second glance at these kind of designs a year or so ago. In fact, it never even crossed my mind that I'd hit my confidence goal until after the package arrived. Not once did I think about how much my mind set had changed as I pulled out the two garments. No, not once. That was, until I tried the two piece on, stood in front of the mirror and that negative, little voice I'd had whispering to me for years was silent. There was a new voice now, one that said, "Look! You're so comfortable in your skin and you should be. You look great and you feel even better. You've done it!"
There was so much relief and elation in that moment. I felt so incredibly proud of myself. I hope that if you are battling the same fight I had for years on end, that you too can win.

To just make up your own steps

I'm loving Scott Bradless and the Postmodern Jukebox more and more all the time. They take popular modern songs and rework them into older styles - (jazz, blues, doo-wop etc.). It isn't really a very complicated idea, but they do it really well.
Now, in celebration of the shows return, they've teamed up with 9 time Grammy nominated sax player Dave Koz to bring you the smooth jazz version Game of Thrones.

Article Title
Cratchit, the surname shared by Bob, Martha, Peter, Belinda, assorted other Cratchits, the mother and wife who is only identified as "Mrs. Cratchit," and especially Tiny Tim, in A Christmas Carol (1843), is one of Dickens's most thematically and stylistically significant character names, as well as arguably the best loved. Nevertheless, the name's etymology has given rise to relatively little commentary and is as yet undetermined. The exception is Michael Patrick Hearn's The Annotated Christmas Carol (Dickens and Hearn 119) which correctly identifies the predominant etymon, without any attempt to "determine" it. Here I examine various etymological claims and argue for a particular mixed etymology, one that makes linguistic (morphological, semantic, pragmatic) and literary (thematic, characterological, stylistic) sense. The etymology leads to the name's fictive value: the etymology is essential to understanding, not only thesignificance of the name, but the significance of the novel, as well as something about the aesthetic assumptions or inclinations underlying both, of which we are aware at their point of intersection.

J/ApJ/788/114 Detection of Kepler multiple M-star systems (Rappaport+, 2014)
M-dwarf rapid rotators and the detection of relatively young multiple M-star systems. Rappaport S., Swift J., Levine A., Joss M., Sanchis-Ojeda R., Barclay T., Still M., Handler G., Olah K., Muirhead P.S., Huber D., Vida K. <Astrophys. J., 788, 114 (2014)> =2014ApJ...788..114R (SIMBAD/NED BibCode)
ADC_Keywords: Stars, double and multiple ; Stars, M-type ; Photometry ; Effective temperatures Keywords: binaries: close - binaries: general - stars: activity - stars: late-type - stars: rotation - starspots - techniques: photometric Abstract: We have searched the Kepler light curves of ∼3900 M-star targets for evidence of periodicities that indicate, by means of the effects of starspots, rapid stellar rotation. Several analysis techniques, including Fourier transforms, inspection of folded light curves, "sonograms", and phase tracking of individual modulation cycles, were applied in order to distinguish the periodicities due to rapid rotation from those due to stellar pulsations, eclipsing binaries, or transiting planets. We find 178 Kepler M-star targets with rotation periods, Prot<2 days, and 110 with Prot<1 day. Some 30 of the 178 systems exhibit two or more independent short periods within the same Kepler photometric aperture, while several have 3 or more short periods. Adaptive optics imaging and modeling of the Kepler pixel response function for a subset of our sample support the conclusion that the targets with multiple periods are highly likely to be relatively young physical binary, triple, and even quadruple M star systems. We explore in detail the one object with four incommensurate periods all less than 1.2 days, and show that two of the periods arise from one of a close pair of stars, while the other two arise from the second star, which itself is probably a visual binary. If most of these M-star systems with multiple periods turn out to be bound M-stars, this could prove a valuable way discovering young hierarchical M-star systems; the same approach may also be applicable to G and K stars. The ∼5% occurrence rate of rapid rotation among the ∼3900 M star targets is consistent with spin evolution models that include an initial contraction phase followed by magnetic braking, wherein a typical M star can spend several hundred Myr before spinning down to periods longer than 2 days. Description: In all, we find 297 of the 3897 targets exhibit the requisite significant Fourier transform (FT) signal comprising a base frequency plus its harmonic, with the base frequency exceeding 0.5 cycles/day (i.e., Prot<2 days). We believe that the majority of these periodicities are likely to be due to stellar rotation manifested via starspots, but a significant number may be due to planet transits and binary eclipses. The individual FTs for these systems were further examined to eliminate those which were clearly not due to rotating starspots. In all cases we folded the data modulo the detected fundamental period, and were readily able to rule out cases due to transiting planets since their well-known sharp, relatively rectangular dipping profiles are characteristic. Of course, we also checked the KOI list for matches. Any of the objects that appear in the Kepler eclipsing binary ("EB") star catalog (e.g., Matijevic et al. 2012AJ....143..123M) were likewise eliminated. File Summary:
