We love when our partners get the opportunity to travel to the field to see how their contributions are changing lives.
Recently, Morgan Loomis, our Director of International Partnerships traveled to Nicaragua with a delegation from TOMS—a committed partner of ours that provides new shoes to kids within our programs.
Morgan shared plenty upon her return.
Recently, Feed the Children hosted a Giving Trip in Nicaragua for a group from TOMS.
TOMS is in business to improve lives and wants to ensure their own team has the opportunity to experience this first-hand and see the impact their work is making.
I, along with local Feed the Children staff and the group from TOMS, spent a week in the field visiting communities and learning about our programs and 4-Pillar approach to development: Food and Nutrition, Water Sanitation and Health, Education, and Livelihoods.
Throughout the week, we delivered TOMS giving shoes, served meals, met with teachers and community leaders, and spent time playing with the children.
Though it was rainy season and extremely hot, I was so proud of how beautifully the TOMS staff interacted with the kids and community leaders we met during our journey. Everyone was so excited to see the work for themselves—through their eyes.
For me, personally, I loved the opportunity to interact with the hard working members of our field staff on the ground in Nicaragua. Our field teams are incredibly dedicated to our mission, but sometimes in the US we don't truly understand all they do as they travel great distances every week to champion children in schools and at community centers. In Nicaragua alone, we feed nutritious meals to over 1,900 children in 20 communities and deliver school supplies to 1,200 students in 14 communities.
We met children in better health, doing better in school and with much hope for their futures. In community after community, teachers shared personal stories of the impact that they have seen on the children who receive TOMS and the glowing feedback they have received from parents.
Our team truly felt the joy of the children as we laughed and played with them. They love TOMS and Feed the Children for bringing shoes and the "shoemaking" team to them.
The visit gave the children an opportunity to meet TOMS staffers and make a personal connection to the individuals that support them. This personal link is almost as important as the shoes themselves, because it truly makes the children realize someone truly cares and supports them.
We felt overwhelmed by the generous hospitality of the kids' songs, poems and dances. Parents shared with our team later, how much the kids enjoyed playing games with the travelers and how special the visit made them feel.
On our last day, the group spent the morning at Feed the Children's Productive Training Center in El Crucero, delivering TOMS to children and visiting with the mothers. At the center, mothers are taught livelihood skills, such as training in vegetable production, baking, tailoring and poultry management. These skills not only allow them to provide food for their children, but are also an alternative income generation resource they can use to support their families in other ways.
Before we left, the volunteer moms surprised the team with a TOMS cake and expressed gratitude for their support. How cool was this!
I came home thankful for TOMS and the privilege of working with the wonderful donors that support Feed the Children's international programs.
Truly, one child, one pair of shoes at a time, we are impacting kids' lives forever in Nicaragua, and around the world!

The Periodical Publishers Association is claiming an industry first with the launch of a new tool that calculates the effect that magazines are having on the environment.
The carbon calculator allows publishers to examine the carbon footprint of every stage of the production process, from sourcing paper to printing and distribution.
The free tool, which has taken two years to develop, will be unveiled by Hello magazine editor-at-large Sally Cartwright at the Fipp world magazine congress in London next week.
The PPA claims it is the first trade association to help publishers calculate the environmental impact their work is having. The organisation announced preliminary figures on the magazine industry's environmental impact at a conference last May.
PPA chief executive Jonathan Shephard said: "Environmental concerns and sustainability are close to the heart of magazine publishers.
"The PPA carbon footprint calculator uses complex systems to give publishers a classically simple result, which they can apply to their business.
"In environmental issues, as well as in brilliant and diverse content, UK magazine publishing is the pace-setter."
Press Gazette will be providing live coverage from the world magazine congress on Tuesday and Wednesday next week.

Interoil chooses Total SA for second LNG project
Interoil Corporation has announced it is teaming up with France's Total S.A. to develop Papua New Guinea's second LNG gas project at the Elk and Antelope fields in Gulf Province. How will the new project fit into PNG'S existing LNG landscape?
In December 2013, Interoil finally selected a development partner for its Elk and Antelope gas fields in PNG'S Gulf Province. French major Total SA will pay up to US$3.6 billion (K9.01 billion) for a 61.3% stake in the fields.
The final price will depend on the extent of the reserves, which will be known after a US$325 million (K816 million) drilling program. A company statement said the drilling campaign will take between 12 and 15 months.
The France-based conglomerate is the fifth-largest publiclytraded oil and gas company in the world. Its deal with Interoil represents its first entry into the PNG petroleum development industry.
Oil Search Limited, one of the key players involved with PNG'S existing LNG project, the Exxonmobil-led PNG LNG project, has also joined the venture, acquiring 23% of Elk and Antelope fields from Pac LNG in March 2014.
Oil Search managing director Peter Botten told investors he paid beyond the 'resource value' of Pac LNG'S stake to have the ability to leverage more value.
'With us sitting where we're at in both joint ventures, and having a range of other gas resources, we're uniquely situated to drive the future of LNG in PNG,' he said.
Integration with the PNG LNG project?
'The Elk/antelope field is the largest undeveloped gas field in the region and it would certainly be advantageous for Oil Search to have a significant say in the development of that field,' David Lennox, senior analyst with stockbrokers Fat Prophets, tells
Business Advantage.
'They have a significant interest in the PNG LNG project that will soon be coming into production and they will be wanting to shore up the supply of product into those [two] trains, and have the potential ability to perhaps build an additional train on site with extra gas that could be supplied from Elk/antelope.'
'It would be a little difficult at this point in time to predict who will have the biggest say when it comes to developing Elk/ Antelope. It's not at that stage. It's got to get there yet and until it is actually proven to be commercial, everyone's going to remain pretty quiet.''
Petromin Holdings chairman Sir Brown Bai welcomed the Total deal. Petromin is the state nominee for the Elk/antelope project, although Prime Minister O'neill flagged in early 2013 that the organisation may be re-named Kumul Petroleum under a major reorganisation of State-held assets.

January 6, 2010 (CHICAGO) --Mayor Daley is hinting that he may push toward privatizing Midway Airport once the economy improves.A February 1st deadline is looming for telling the Federal Aviation Administration what the next steps will be toward privatizing the airport.
Last spring, a deal fell apart because of financing issues.
London's Gatwick Airport just went through the process but it was sold at a significantly lower price than expected. With that in mind, the mayor says he's willing to wait until the economy stabilizes.
"Cities have done this all over the world. This is a very progressive legislation. You have to understand that. It's very progressive," said Daley.
Midway employs 190 people who are paid by the city.
If the mayor does try once again to privatize the airport, aldermen are expected to study the lease very carefully considering the negative fallout from the parking meter lease deal.

NADONA offers hot conference for education
Particularly enlightening (to this reporter, at least) was a session held Sunday night on Alzheimer's. Eric Tangalos, a professor of medicine at the Mayo Clinic College of Medicine, and Geri Richards-Hall, a clinical nurse specialist, talked about the clinical stages of the disease and ways of coping with each one.
Among the most interesting takeaways was from Tangalos, who talked about a new distinction being drawn between Alzheimer's disease and Alzheimer's-dementia. Alzheimer's disease means some kind of structural and brain abnormality. By comparison, Alzheimer's-dementia indicates clinical problems that are affecting cognition, function and behavior. The terms differentiate the disease from the clinical manifestation. In other words, you can have the disease but not dementia. Distinguishing between the two allows people to talk about the illness in a broader way, Tangalos explained.
Another stimulating session was held Monday on the subject of urinary incontinence. Diane Smith, senior vice president of Silvercare Solutions, hit home the importance of fully, and physically, examining a resident to determine the reason for his or her incontinence. Too often, residents are dismissed as incurably incontinent when there are physical problems standing in the way. She discussed through anecdotes how helping a resident regain continence can vastly improve a resident's sense of well-being and quality of life.
There were other memorable speakers and moments at the conference. It must be said that the feeling of Phoenix in July is truly unforgettable. I love warm weather, but 112 degrees? Thanks, but I'll settle for Chicago at this time of year. Who ever thought I'd say that?

If you are going through a divorce, here are 7 techniques that will assist you to have an effective divorce.
Here you'll discover vital realities about the divorce experience that few individuals will be truthful adequate to inform you. They're most likely to attempt to mitigate whatever sensations you have (hurt, anger, bitterness, relief, indignation, rush, desire to be affordable, and so on). They're less most likely to inform you the genuine offer about exactly what lay ahead for you.
I am a divorce lawyer in northern New Jersey. I have actually represented numerous individuals browse through their divorce. What have we seen? We have actually seen that some separating individuals are open to ideas, and some are not. Some individuals are harmed, bitter, upset, and resentful, however wish to surpass those sensations (ultimately) and have a good life. Others feel all those things, and have every intention of supporting those sensations through the divorce and into their post-divorce life, and really, to their tomb. Some individuals are accepting and desiring the divorce, and are reasonable, logical, and focused, however are annoyed with their partners impracticality and emotion, and are worried by the entire divorce procedure.
If you're going through a divorce, hang in there. There is hope. And, if you follow these 7 Methods, you'll wind up with a good life both throughout and after the divorce.
Exactly what to do when your partner is actually truly owning you crazy about this-or-that?
Lawyers are trained to believe and react realistically. There are truly just 4 things a lawyer can do in reaction to a grievance you have about exactly what your partner is doing. For instance, let's state that you have a pending divorce, and your partner is being imply to you, or is not feeding the kids the method you desire them to, or is taking your preferred coat, and so on. And, you inform your lawyer this.
Can your lawyer visit your partner and chew out them and beat them into submission? No.
Well then, can the judge do that? No.
So, exactly what can be done then? Here are the 4 things that lawyers, judges and the Court can do?
1. Call your partner's divorce attorney – In some cases, bringing your partner's stupidity to the attention of the other lawyer can work since the other lawyer is typically more reasonable than your partner. So, if your partner's lawyer believes that your partner's stupidity is going to wind up in front of a judge who will lecture them, which lawyer does not believe that your partner has loan to lose on litigating over such little problems, then that lawyer will frequently achieve success in informing your partner to "knock it off!"
2. Composing a letter to your partner's lawyer – Whether we advise composing a letter or making a call actually depends upon exactly what the concern is and who the other lawyer is. In some cases, we desire a proof since we believe that the other lawyer won't do anything, or will not achieve anything with your partner, and therefore, we will wind up in front of a judge over the concern.
3. Bring a movement – Understand 1 standard aspect of the divorce procedure: The judge chooses ABSOLUTELY NOTHING up until the last trial – UNLESS you bring a movement. A movement is an official procedure that gets a demand to the judge, which demand has to do with a short-term issue (e.g. who will pay the home loan, who will stroll the pet, who will rake the driveway). Movements in my neck of the woods are costly. Exactly what do I call costly? Oh, 15 to 25 hours of legal work. So, at my per hour rate of $250/hour, that has to do with $3,500 to $6,500 for a movement. Can it be more? Definitely. Can it be less? Hardly ever.
4. Get ready for trial – If it's a "broad view" concern, then it's going to be chosen at trial, so you might or might not wish to bring a movement about it now. If not, your posture might be to simply forget aiming to work it out with the opposite (who's imitating a brick wall) and simply get ready for trial. Remember however, that the Court will require you to continue the settlement discussions since the Court does not wish to in fact need to hear a trial.
Okay, now that you understand those 4 possible legal actions to an issue throughout the divorce, you can begin examining your favored resolution prior to you call your lawyer.

A survey shows employees absolutely hate when bosses do this
What's the worst behavior a boss can have in the workplace? According to a recent survey, it's taking credit for an employee's work.
Over 1,000 U.S. employees were asked to score 24 "typical boss behaviors" from "totally acceptable" to "totally unacceptable. The survey, performed by human resources software firm Bamboo HR, ranked taking credit for employees' work as the No. 1 worst thing. And understandably so.
Imagine that you have been laboring over a project for days. Maybe even weeks. You pass the work on to your manager, only to have your boss accept the praise from superiors for a job well done — without giving you props.
Not only is it unfair, and infuriating, but the study says not receiving recognition for your hard work can negatively impact your career. If senior management doesn't realize how hard you are working, you can get passed over for raises and promotions.
"We all want to see the fruit of our labors," says Rusty Lindquist, VP of strategic HR insights and product marketing at Bamboo HR, in a statement to CNBC. "It's that very process that incentivizes an organization to cultivate the trees that produce."
However, if organizations are not careful they can end up cultivating a culture of credit takers instead of "value producers," says Lindquist. It then becomes a "race to see who can take credit the fastest," he adds.
Interestingly, the study found that younger employees are more likely to tolerate their managers taking credit for their work. The older employees get, however, "the more unacceptable it becomes," the study says. For employees aged 18- 29, 57 percent say bosses who take credit for their work are unacceptable. For employees aged 60 and up, 77 percent find it totally unacceptable.

So while the boys were drip drying and resting up from their bath and haircut ordeal, I remained in my office screwing up the computer.
Things for me progressed from bad to worse as I attempted ( read computer dummy here) to install a newer version of Flash Player on my Mac which I found out later is too old to support the new version. Who new? I was lead to believe all would be well if I uninstalled the old version then the new would work. Wrong! Having no idea what I was doing in the first place I kept getting in deeper and deeper. Things popped up on my computer that I had no idea what was happening. All I was trying to do is get my photos from PhotoBucket to my blog. I like being able to have a bigger photo than blogger provides without having to click to enlarge. It works slick to upload to PhotoBucket then copy and paste the code into the blogging box. Well....it USED to work slick.
Thank goodness Mr. Orange Sink works with a computer wizard at the newspaper. I knew I was in the doghouse when he had to call John to fix my mess. A couple of hours and some fancy work later I now have my computer back to where it was before I started messing with it! Whew!
I think I will stick to rug hooking, cleaning and moving my stuff around the house for Fall now that I'm out of the doghouse. Mr. Orange Sink thinks so too. So maybe tomorrow I can show you the little Halloween Mat I've been working on. See you then!

About the book:
Depending on one's definition of a political form, this book is either utopia or manifesto. The literary critic, Fredric Jameson, has described utopian thinkers as tinkers in a workshop of the imagination. As such, this book delves into the fantasy that new and different political and social and cultural and economic forms can be experienced and lived. This book provides a vision that unites environmentalism with some form of leftist economics and politics: an eco-socialist or eco-collectivist vision of the future. But it draws from the past, most specifically from the life and works of a U.S. Forest Service manager named Bob Marshall. Marshall had been employed by the U.S. government in the 1920s and 1930s, where besides engaging in wilderness advocacy, he worked for the advancement of civil rights and the legitimacy of labor unions. This protean commitment of content determines the hybrid form of this book. It is both poetry and prose, a prosimetrum that seeks to combine fancy and reality.
About the author:
Leonard Gigliobianco has been writing poetry for three decades. A book of poetry, "Your Words" has been published by Outskirts Press.

Synopsis: Wrongly convicted, a once prominent woman finds herself looking for life's true purpose. This is the prologue and is centered around the main protagonist's teen and college years written in first person perspective.
The Diaries
To think that it could've been me that died only one year ago…
To think that there was an entire group of us eager to thrive and grasp life
To think that we wasted our lives desperately trying to stay awake and finish every last useless assignment.
To think that we didn't stop when the amphetamines got out of hand.
To think that we let each other die for a non-existent cause.
To believe we couldn't make it without a worthless piece of paper that put a cheap price on our heads for hire.
To not stop injecting until there were two…Or one left out of ten.
To die just to fill in one more word for that thesis that would be balled up in a trashcan by the same self centered idiot who assigned it only aiming to give good praise to those who had his exact same opinion.
To know that they'd have the audacity to lay that crumpled up F grade on our coffins.
My name is Catherine. At least that's what they called the mistake of a child I was.
Working until you dropped was considered disrespectful. But then even balancing it out was seen as lazy.
Then being told that it was your decision to be born. As if you had the conscienceness to say "Hey God, I'd like to ruin these peoples lives." Or as if it was you who decided to have an unsafe, unprotected intercourse that night to become an inconvenient parasite…
What kind of world is this…
Why don't they just create A.I. children to please?
"It's a bloody awful mess and that's all there is to it." – Anthony Hopkins in the film Shadowlands

I pinned it… and I made it!
I'm ashamed to say this is probably the first thing I've made from Pinned inspiration… it's so easy to happily pin away and then forget what you've pinned and not get round to making it! Hence my challenge this year to make (at least) one craft a week and use some of my pinned inspiration to do it.
This weeks craft is a good one; leopard print fold-over clutch… ooohhh ahhhh etc!
What you need:
Things to remember:
Here we go…
Step 1: Sewing on the Zip
Place the zip on the lining fabric with lining right side up.
Then place the outer fabric right side facing down on the zip so the zip is sandwiched between the two layers.
I want a nice sturdy clutch so at this point I also added a layer of wadding fabric (thermolam would be good) on top of the main outer fabric and pinned the whole lot together. Using your zipper foot sew your 'sandwich' together!
Step 2:
Repeat on the other side of the zip, layering up in the same way.
Once both sides are sewn it will look like this… like a fabric book!
Step 3:
Unzip your zipper to halfway and open out your layers so the linings are together, and the main fabric/interlinings are together, and pin. At this point you can switch your zipper foot over to a standard foot.
Step 4:
Stitch all around the outside and leave a few inches on the lining side to pull the fabric through (be careful not to stitch over the zipper teeth!)
Step 5:
Trim back the fabric and corners to make the seams less bulky.
Step 6:
Turn the clutch through to the right side and give it a little press with the iron, then sew up the gap.
Step 7:
Then you just fold over the top of the clutch and…
Well done, you are now the proud owner of a new clutch bag!
This project was inspired by a pin on my Pinterest board which you can follow here.
Please link your crafts below, I would love to see them!
Well this is just super cool! You're so talented 🙂 I'm pretty useless with DIY unfortunately 😛 x

NEW YORK--(EON: Enhanced Online News)--The Reaves Utilities ETF (NYSE MKT: UTES) has marked its second anniversary*. The first and only actively managed utilities exchange-traded fund, UTES has outperformed its passive benchmark index, the S&P 500 Utilities Index** for the period from inception through 9/30/17. During this period, UTES had an annualized return of 18.11%, net of all fees and expenses, compared to the 16.30% return of the passive index while providing its investors with full transparency and daily updates on its holdings. The fund's Total Annual Operating Expense is 0.95%.
"In our view, the fundamental outlook for utilities is positive with a supportive regulatory environment and multiple opportunities for companies to make needed investments in infrastructure and earn an acceptable return."
UTES benefits from Reaves Asset Management's nearly 40 years of experience investing in the utilities sector. Employing a relative value strategy focused on companies with potential for consistent long-term earnings and dividend growth, the Fund's active structure allows its portfolio managers the flexibility to adjust holdings at any time in response to regulatory developments and other fundamental events.
"Reaching the two-year mark is an important milestone for us," said John Bartlett, co-portfolio manager of UTES. "In our view, the fundamental outlook for utilities is positive with a supportive regulatory environment and multiple opportunities for companies to make needed investments in infrastructure and earn an acceptable return."
The Fund's portfolio managers have constructed the portfolio with a focus on seeking to reduce certain risks arising from commodities and foreign exchange exposure that investors may take on unknowingly when investing in a passive utilities index. UTES' portfolio managers also have the discretion to invest in well managed mid- and small-cap companies not found in many of the market-cap weighted passive index funds.
"Our ability to invest in companies regardless of their inclusion in an index is a key aspect of our Fund's active strategy," said UTES' co-portfolio manager Jay Rhame. "By omitting certain indexed stocks and adding others not in an index, we seek to avoid some of the downside that a passive index-tracking fund captures in full and recover upside from other areas."
As an actively managed ETF, the Reaves Utilities ETF does not seek to replicate the performance of a specified passive index of securities. More information on UTES can be found at virtusetfs.com.

Water Conservation and Sustainability: An Utmost Importance
Received Date: Feb 07, 2014 / Accepted Date: Feb 08, 2014 / Published Date: Feb 12, 2014
Water is one of the core essential and basic necessity; 1) for the life forms-living things on the biosphere, 2) for the natural processes, 3) for the communities, 4) for the society, 5) for the economy of the country and 6) for on-coming generations. Although total earth's water (>71%) is constant, it goes through continuous hydrological cycle such as transpiring by vegetation, evaporation, precipitation, runoff, infiltration and other natural processes. Consequently, the rainfall in any locations may not be same and therefore water shortage is the final outcome. Despite earth's majority of the cover is filled by water (97% by oceans), only freshwater (about 3% in which 85% is available as a glacier) is suitable for living organisms including humans. In recent years water table is facing serious threat due to rapid population increase, industrial and urban development, over usage, climate change, global warming, shrinkage in glaciers in Arctic and Antarctic, natural calamities (shifting of precipitation and reduced snow pack) and negligence of people to use the water in proper way and slow replenishment of natural waters [1]. Besides, drastic economic expansion, energy demand and shrinkage of replenished waters are point of major concern. Water withdrawals across all sectors including public use (municipal), rural or domestic use, livestock use, irrigation, thermoelectric power generation increased dramatically between 1950 and 2005 in the USA [2]. When compare with few decades during the past, the draught condition in all over the world have been doubled. The rainfall has been changed during the current years and catchment of rainwater is decreasing in several countries. Very recently, with increasing demand of water requirement, preservation of water resources has been increased. It is anticipated that water level may go further down and their necessity may increase more in future. It is utmost necessity for the humans to take care of the water resources, usage pattern and sustainable management/conservation at great importance. Consequently, water conservation can be achieved 1) through logical policy, 2) from existing resources, 3) by mechanical auditing, 4) by rain water harvesting, 5) increase de-salination projects (to get additional sustainable water from ocean), 6) water re-use and 7) stringent regulations to adopt safe and conservative water adaptation policy by individuals in order to save the earth and improve the quality and quantity of the sustainable water.
Majority of water bodies on the earth contain cocktails of toxic chemicals. In some countries along with toxic chemicals, bad sanitary quality makes water to carry biological pathogens and replenishment of these contaminated water take several years. Moreover, chemical and biological contamination tend to increase more in future if there is no strict water conservation/management policy is maintained in and around developing countries, industries, in house, commercial sector, municipalities, metropolitan cities and in agriculture [1]. Peoples living in big cities are exposed to cocktails of toxic contaminants due to elevated aquifer/ground water contamination, decrease in the water table, less waste water treatment facilities in developing countries in which industrial development is sky rocketing and therefore replenishment of available freshwater is decreasing. In addition, as it indicated earlier the loss of freshwater by 1) by precipitation (evaporation), 2) during incorporation in to the products (e.g., building materials), 3) in the vegetation transpiration 4) runoff, 5) evaporation cannot be ignored. Increasing water demands in order to support population and economic growth, environmental natural ecosystems (e.g., wetlands, rivers, lakes and groundwater systems), energy growth and supply shifts expected with climate change [3].
Wastage of potable water occurs in several ways especially from domestic kitchen (unnecessary running of tap in the sink), bathroom (continuous running of tap during tooth brush/shaving and long shower [also leaky faucet and toilet contributes 20-100 gallons/day]), several flushing of toilets with more than expected water to wash, laundry (less loaded laundry), home garden/lawn and car washing. In the U.S., the water consumption per home is almost 50-70 gallons/day/ person in which almost 15% of water wasted. In India, the approximate usage of water/home/day is 900 liters (approximately 240 gallons/ home/day if the home has 4 persons it would be a 60 gallons/person/ day) without any conservative method. However with conservative method 20 gallons/home/day is good enough therefore 92% of water can be saved. Further defective plumbing in municipal, domesticated, industrial areas to reduce leaking is necessary. For example, in Delhi, India estimated losses of drinking water is from 30% to 40%.
More than 650 million people in almost 40 countries suffer from water scarcity. Among them particularly, 36 countries face extremely high water stress, including several countries in the Sub-Saharan region, Middle East, Indian deserts contributes to the looming crisis from African and Asian continents. Due to water shortage, the energy production and economic development in India and China has been affected seriously. Water scarcity is very severe in fast developing country like India, along with decreased energy production, the water quality with respect to chemical and biological contamination [1]. The water shortage in India, China, Nepal, Bangladesh, is very common as the tropical monsoon fail to pour a rain on the seasonal basis. In the USA water shortage is very common (e.g., western parts of arid desert zone) especially from the past 10 years [4]. Water supplies decreased due to the drying up of streams, decline in the ground water levels due to the excess pumping, chemical contamination and increased drought conditions. Among European Union, the water scarcity hits several countries among them Spain, France, Cyprus, Bulgaria, Romania, Germany, Czech and some others are affected while Croatia is least water stressed country. The aquifers in Belgium, France have been over exploited and contaminated by chemicals. Due to climate change and decrease in groundwater level related water stress makes Australian economy hit during the past 2-5 years. For the regional, humans welfare and the development, the reliable sources and supply of drinking water is utmost important. Considering those facts, water conservation/ management policies should be implemented immediately. For this particular context, in this editorial most efficient water conservation plans for two large democratic nations in the world such as USA (developed temperate country) and the India (fast developing tropical country) were further highlighted.
The ultimate goal of water conservation effort can be focused to reduce unnecessary water intake and to alter the flow to the places where physical and chemical properties of the water are encouraging to reuse. In addition, water conservation plans can be implemented by new planning, management, technology, regulatory and enforcement in water supplying systems and re-habilitate in water usage habit to individuals. The key point in water conservation plans is monitoring the water sources and reservoirs of stream flows, surface water resources and ground water levels. First, securing the drinking water from the water scarcity, over consumption, degradation, natural damage (e.g. drought, flood damage, waste of rainwater), prolonged unsustainable management and pollution sources should be delineated and avoided. During drought watch and drought warning emergency situations, water supply should be reduced by 5 to 15%, respectively to the individuals. During emergency situations prohibition should be implied for watering for a landscape, golf course, lawns, gardens, nurseries, driveways, garage, parking areas, streets, sidewalks, crematories and paved ways. Besides, ban or restriction should impose to artificial waterfalls, fountains, filling of swimming pools, washing vehicles and large water usage areas such as hotels and restaurants. Water pricing and metering, water efficiency, integrated and general water supply and land use planning programs, water use regulation, assured supply law, water utility measures (e.g. water pressure management, water use audits, water accounting and loss control, information and teaching to public, replacement and promotions, recycling municipal effluent) water market, are additional source of water conservation plans.
In the US, most of peoples have awareness on importance of water in the life. However, they should understand exactly what all the responsibilities to conserve water are. Therefore, water conservation should begin from the household use by providing information and assistance with how they can reduce the amount of the water they use every day. There are several water saving tips can be followed. For example, a water faucet left running can use 20 gallons of water while you shave, 10 gallons while you brush your teeth, 2 gallons while you wash your hands, >4 gallons while you flush (one time) toilet. A continuous shower requires up to 12 gallons per minute, and a full bathtub uses 36 gallons. Wetting down, soaping up, and rinsing off rapidly uses only 4 gallons. Water at a minimum level in a bath uses only 10 to 12 gallons. Toilets used the most water on a daily basis (20.1 gallons per person per day), clothes washers were the second largest water users (15 gallons per person per day) and showers were third (13.3 gallons per person day) followed by faucets (11.1 gallons per capita/day for a family) and leaks (10 per capita/day for a family) [5-8]. Automatic dishwashers use up to 16 gallons of water; washing dishes by hand in a sink or dishpan requires only 5 gallons. Further several conservative methods can be adopted during watering to lawn, gardening, car wash, washing walkways and garage. With improved method water conservation per family would be 72.5 per capita/day to 49.6 per capita/day with almost 40% of the water can be saved/family. In addition, Installing water saving devices in old equipment, acquisition of new water-saving equipment, acquisition of water-saving household appliances, other measures, device or equipment designed to save water (repairing leaks, recycling of household liquid waste, rainwater collection, etc.) [7-8].
In case of India the method adopted so far can be modified which would able to conserve about 90% of the water. The examples are follows; for brushing, washing hands, shaving by running tap for 9 min require 81 liters of water while using mug and tumbler require meager 3 liters. Similarly, shower (shower flower open all the time during shower), flushing traditional toilet consumes 104 liter, while with modified adaptation of wet down, tap off, soap up, rinse off method and using modern dual flush system in toilet needed 25 liters of water. Besides, watering plants, washing floor, and washing car by running hose for 20 min may exhaust 720 liter water, while water can, mop or bucket and two buckets car washing method may require 41 liters of water [9]. Similar to USA, in India promoting a water-saving consciousness should be educated to support changes that will achieve a reduction in water use. Peoples and industries are ignorant about the water usage and misusing available water sources are large [1]. Therefore, Government should implement a stringent rules on peoples and industries along with 1) surface water storage, 2) conservation of rain water, 3) ground water conservation such as artificial recharge and percolation tank method, 4) catchment area protection (CAP), 5) inter-basin transfer of water, 6) adoption of drip sprinkler irrigation, 7) management of growing pattern of crops such as selection of crop varieties, nutritional management, and role of antitranspirants, 8) reducing evapotranspiration, 9) reducing evaporation from various water bodies, 10) recycling of water and conservation of water in domestic use, 11) reduce the loss of water and 12) reuse of wastewater and artificial recharge to groundwater [9].
Rainwater harvesting becoming an attractive in domestic as well as agriculture sector and it should be encouraged by Government of India by providing subsidies for rain water harvesting resources purchasing (catching ducts, filtration unit, pump and over head rainwater storing roof with appropriate plumbing). Particularly, rainwater harvesting in tropical countries should be implemented to domesticated areas. The filtered and stored rainwater can be used to irrigate the home garden, lawn, taking shower (filtered and dis-infected), toilets and also in small scale agriculture. Harvesting rainwater by digging ponds, lakes, canals, channels, expand the size of existing water reservoir in rural areas would help to cultivate short time economical yielding plants.
Urban water conservation is typically achieved through prescriptive regulations, including the rationing of water for particular uses and requirements for the installation of particular technologies. A significant shift has occurred in pollution control regulations toward marketbased policies in recent decades [10]. Recycling or re-use of reclaimed water (wastewater treatment effluent) to industrial, agriculture, golf course, parks, cemeteries, road medians, paper mills and carpet dyers, toilet flushing, dust control, construction activities, concrete mixing, and artificial lakes. Reused water can also be used in landscape irrigation, agricultural irrigation, aesthetic uses such as fountains, and fire protection. In the industries, water is mainly used for washing, heating, cooling purpose. Further industrial water also used as a carrier of coatings, chemical dyes and natural or artificial pigments. In order to reduce the cost and waste the industrial processed water, reusing in another area with less stringent water quality requirements such as cooling water at power plants and oil refineries or industrial process can be an alternate option. Because the most water-intensive cooling method used in industrial applications is once-through cooling, in which water contacts and lowers the temperature of a heat source and then is discharged. Recycling water with a re-circulating cooling system can greatly reduce water use by using the same water to perform several cooling operations. Three cooling water conservation approaches that can be used to reduce water use are evaporative cooling, ozonation, and air heat exchange. On the whole, water management and conservation is very important on the global basis, teaching to the public about importance of water conservation is utmost important in order to save this earth and to maintain quality of human life in good safe.

Three Principle Phases, Revisited
In Chapter 2, Lesson B, we discussed the difference between the three principle phases: gas, liquid, and solid. Just to refresh your memory, move the mouse pointer over the sketch of each phase to see a description of that phase.
We also learned that, in all the phases, molecules move randomly with three different types of motion: vibration, rotation and translation.
The internal energy of the system is defined as the sum of the kinetic energies in the vibrational, rotational and translational motion of molecules.
Molecules move randomly with three different types of motion: vibration, rotation and translation. Molecules are separated by large distances and travel a long way between collisions.
Molecules move randomly with all three types of motion, but they are much closer together and cannot travel very far between collisions.
Atoms or molecules have all three types of motion, but they are very close together. As a result, they cannot travel far at all before they collide. Each molecule moves about within a small space and does not tend to wander.

The Dunfield Terror
This one is set in Newfoundland and has some glowing fog, a mad scientist, lots of snow, a shipwreck, some tentacled things, a dead whale, rum, cigarettes, some boats of various sizes, a bar or two, some stiff upper lips, a shed and a multitude of universes, among other things.
Some of my major influences are on show - Lovecraft of course is obvious from the title, the cover and the subject matter, but there's also John Wyndham in there, and more than a touch of old Professor Quatermass, along with possibly bits of Doctor Who's more trippy adventures in the timey-wimey stuff.
I had an awful lot of fun with this one. I hope my readers do too.
It starts with a strange glowing fog that arrives at the height of a snowstorm.
A terror from the past has returned, bringing with it death and destruction that threatens to overrun the town. The old stories tell of a post-war experiment gone wrong, one that opened the way for the fog — or whatever was behind it — to begin its reign of terror.
A small team of workmen are the last hope to keep their town alive through the long, storm-filled night. But the many horrors that await them are beyond anyone's worst nightmares.
It's a cracking tale; the sort of thing you might love if you wished for a story collaboration by H. G. Wells and H. P. Lovecraft, but with Willie Meikle's very own distinct style... Another cracking, pulpy tale from William Meikle. - GINGER NUTS OF HORROR
A taut, fast-paced and at times uncomfortably claustrophobic piece of writing that easily crosses through the Horror and Cthulhu Mythos genres, The Dunfield Terror is another masterpiece from Mr Meikle – one that should grace the bookshelf (electronic or otherwise) of any fan of those genres, or simply those who appreciate fine writing. - THE SCI-FI AND FANTASY REVIEWER
For the Lovecraft fan and the Chuthlu Mythos enthusiasts, this is a must read but it is also essential for those who want to read the best in contemporary horror. - The Novel Pursuit
Superbly paced with wonderfully open, and likeable characters that help this story flow across the pages at a wonderful tempo. Sometimes edge of your seat stuff and other times set slow so you can become totally engrossed in the story that's being told. This is a masterpiece - Confessions of a Reviewer
Scary, slimy fun with just enough gross out factor to make the reader queasy but not so much as to become gratuitous. This is just a very good horror novel. - Examiner.com
This novel would have made a classic spine chiller of a movie for Hammer Films. - Reclusive Reads
What a chilling, terrifying read this was! - Cat After Dark
I'd love to see this book optioned for a TV miniseries. - British Fantasy Society.

Users should take extra care when exploring Wikipedia's science topics, because many articles on controversial issues such as global warming and acid rain have been targeted for editing by revisionists who reject scientific findings, new research has found. Due to its crowdsourced model, academics widely regard Wikipedia as a starting point for research — a compass more than a map. However, many people rely heavily on the information it presents. That realization prompted researchers Gene Likens and Adam Wilson to undertake a study.

Universal flu vaccinations a cost-effective strategy, Canadian researchers find
An initiative in one Canadian province to provide everyone aged six months and older with a free flu shot not only reduces influenza-related illnesses and deaths, but is "economically attractive," according to a recent analysis.
Most Canadian provinces provide free vaccines to targeted at-risk populations—primarily seniors aged 65 and older, those with chronic medical conditions or health care workers. In 2000, Ontario began offering free flu jabs to everyone. Researchers at the University of Toronto evaluated the costs and outcomes associated with the Ontario universal vaccination scheme.
Between 1997 and 2004, cases of influenza infection in Ontario fell by 61%, while flue-related deaths decreased by 28%, according to the analysis. Though the program costs twice as much as other programs, 39% of those costs were offset by related savings elsewhere in the healthcare system, making it sufficiently cost-effective, researchers concluded. But researchers point out that it is mostly because of Canada's unique one-payer healthcare system that such savings can be accrued. The report was published this week in PLoS Medicine.

P.K. Egans Restaurant
Rescuing spicy traditions of the past, P.K. Egan's Restaurant Company has created a restaurant to spark both enthusiasm of time past and also your taste buds. Surrounded with living remnants of our past, we have sought to create a theatre of dreams, from the beautiful leaded glass peacock window, hazy etched glass, to the frivolous pictures of the great costume work of P.K.'s past.
For, just as P.K. once created and dreamed of creating the finest collections in clothing, so now has he used the same pride in concocting the finest pizzas, sandwiches, and Italian pasta.
He only asks that you enjoy this experience, for as Frederick Allen once said, "You only live once, but if you work it right, once is enough."
Having survived the famous New Year's Eve fire of December 31, 1984, we rebuilt our restaurant in the same location. We serve the community with conference rooms, noon buffets, a variety of great food, and romantic old world surroundings.
Our specialty is pizza and our famous coat button fries (sliced potatoes, breaded and deep fried).
We've been in business on main street in Canby for over 30 years.
Moberg Meat Center, Inc.
Moberg Meat Center, Inc. is located at 125 St. Olaf Avenue North in Canby. In the 1880's, John Lund operated his land agency in the same building, selling many thousands of acres. Meat markets have occupied this same building since 1929, when the Grondahl family opened Grondahl's Market. From 1974 to 2008 Gordy's Locker Service was owned by Gordy & Barb Gentz. In November, 2008 Chuck & Bonnie Moberg purchased Gordy's Locker Service.
Serving the farmers' needs is very important to Moberg's. Beef & pork processing has always been the mainstay of the business. November deer season provides local hunters with great products.
At different times through the years, retail meat & groceries were available via the main street entrance. A goal when Mobergs purchased the Meat Center was to have a retail storefront and it opened in May, 2011. Currently offered are Schroeder Milk products, Amish Wedding, Old Dutch, Sara Lee baked products, Bongards cheese & farm fresh eggs.
Homemade products are most popular and that is because recipes used are those of Grondahl's ring bologna, summer sausage, ham loaf & pork sausage; Porter Locker's polish sausage & Gordy's Locker wieners, slim jims & smokies. In addition to traditional favorites, Mobergs have been adding several new products to the line of great homemade items.
Four full time and several part time employees fulfill processing & retail service roles. Owner Chuck Moberg has 39 years experience in the meat business. His interest began in high school FFA when he was part of championship meat judging teams. He attended Pipestone Votech for the retail meatcutting course. He worked at Gordy's Locker in the 70's & 80's. He then moved on to retail sales & corporate sales. His career was full circle upon becoming owner in 2008.
Canby Print Shop
Canby Print Shop has been a part of the Canby business community for many years. Previously located in the rear of a building on first street west, the business moved to its current location on St Olaf Avenue in the mid-1980s. It has been owned and operated by the Birk family since that time.
Our building dates back to the early 1900s, when it was home to Eaton's General Store. The original Eaton's signage is still preserved on the side of the building along the city walkway. The building later housed other businesses, including Anthony's and four Seasons clothing stores.
Canby Print Shop is a full-service provider of all types of printed materials. From business supplies such as invoices, forms, business cards, and checks, to personal items such as wedding and graduations invitations, we can do it all. We also provide fast and convenient copying and graphic design services.
1910 A.C. (Albert) Severson opened a law office in Canby. (Studied under Canby lawyer J.N. Johnson to qualify for admission to bar).
1946 Paul Severson joined his father, A.C. Severson, with the firm name of Severson and Severson
1950 A.C. Severson dies and Isabel J. Severson* joined her brother, Paul, to continue the Severson and Severson firm.
1952 John E. Qualley and Severson and Severson merged their firms as Severson and Qualley.
1975 Gerald Boulton joined the firm as Severson Qualley & Boulton. Paul Severson died in 1980 and later the firm name was changed to Qualley & Boulton.
1986 Randall J. Slieter joined the firm to be known as Qualley Boulton & Slieter.
1994 Randall J. Slieter is appointed District Court judge. Stacy L. Vinberg joined the firm to be known as Qualley, Boulton & Vinberg.
2010 Stacy L. Vinberg resigns as a partner of the firm to accept a full time position as Assistant County Attorney for Yellow Medicine County. The firm name is now known as Qualley & Boulton.
*Isabel J. Severson is believed to be the first woman lawyer in private practice in Yellow Medicine County, if not in all of Southwestern Minnesota. She left the firm of Severson and Qualley in 1954 and spent the rest of her professional life as a clerk for Minnesota Supreme Court Justices.

What are you working for? To buy some new things? Did you know that buying experiences, not possessions, leads to greater happiness? A San Francisco State University study (2009) demonstrated that experiential purchases, such as a meal out or theater tickets, result in increased greater well-being than material possessions. These experiences tend to satisfy higher order needs, specifically the need for social connectedness and vitality—a feeling of being alive.
Another thing to think about… a Harvard Business School study (2009) revealed people tend to overestimate the influence of wealth on happiness by 100%. When basic needs are met, money does not lead to nearly as much happiness as people think it will.
Let making a living support what really important, making a happier life!

Chaotic, humbling, joyful (the moment you stumble upon a clean Western-style toilet)… Southeast Asia is a traveltopia of temples, tuk tuks, big beers and woefully misguided clothing choices.
We were therefore naturally delighted to travel on Stray Asia's flexible hop-on hop-off network in Thailand and Laos recently. Here are eight reasons why you should too.*
*Footnote: There were formerly nine reasons, but the ninth (simply entitled, "One night in Bangkok") was removed by the advertising standards agency. Unreserved apologies to all involved.
The claim – Getting off the beaten track
A much overused travel term, we can admit to being suspicious in a deeply British way about Stray's claim to getting off the beaten track. After all, Southeast Asia is pretty well-travelled, and so hardly known for its surprises. Unless of course, you count waking up wearing someone else's shoes, but that's just Chang Beer and not really a surprise after the first time it happens.
But via a mixture of authentic transport (houseboats, buses, trains, tuk tuks), flexible hop-on hop-off stops, homestays and truly legendary local guides, Stray genuinely does get you to places that no one else does.
The judgement: Words, fully eaten.
Unique stops – Ban Pak Nguey Homestay, Laos
The Stray network is full of unique and out-of-the-way stops. On our route, we were lucky enough to stay overnight in Ban Pak Nguey, a wildly remote village on the Mekong. Here's what went down.
After being physically tackled by locals (a football game involving shamefully talented six-year olds), a sunset swim in the Mekong, and a rather emotional 'Baci' blessing ceremony (the local whisky perhaps contributing to the sentimental nature of this), we responded to our hosts' kindness as only travellers know how. The great cultural exchange… the Macarena.
The whole homestay experience was beautiful, moving and unforgettable. And we'd therefore like to sincerely apologise for inflicting our 90s dancefloor offences on your wonderful and gracious village.
Cultural exchange with locals: Travellers 0, Villagers 1, reasons to go 100.
Nature – Kuang Si Falls, Luang Prabang
We'll keep this one short and lyrical. TLC told us not to go chasing waterfalls. They were wrong. Kuang Si Falls are wicked. And there were swimsuit mishaps. And bears. In a rescue sanctuary.
Cultural things – Wat Rong Khun, Chiang Rai
Whilst going to Asia and not visiting temples is possibly some form of travelling hate crime, we get that after several (hundred) your feet start to ache, your mouth feels dry, and while you should be part way through a spiritual awakening, you're actually thinking about dinner, beer, or both.
Up in Thailand's northernmost city, Wat Rong Khun is not your average temple. A glittering disco ball of a site, it may look like the brainchild of Barbie and Buddha, but close up, it's seriously badass. An ode to Buddhist mythology and 1990s sleepovers, it features baddies such as Hellraiser, Freddy Kruger, Terminator and… Hello Kitty? While not pretending to understand the last bit, the effect is awesome.
Templed out? Never. Also, the toilets were an absolute delight. And when you find a good one in Asia, you really need to shout about it.
Fun stuff – Flight of the Gibbons, Chiang Mai
It's a universal truth that all great things start with a flight. Every trip you've ever done, the 80's epic Flight of the Navigator, the melodic monotones of Flight of the Conchords…
It therefore followed that Flight of the Gibbons would do the same. The day started with an insanely beautiful drive into the mountains, and ended with wild furry dudes (gibbons) watching in what we suspected was mild amusement as we attempted to reverse the evolutionary clock by swinging along 7km of ziplines. Only with harnesses and slightly more opportunity for camel toe.
Also, pretty sure one gibbon was pleasuring himself up a tree – although we can't promise that this will happen on your visit.
Greatness? Yes, our 'flight' theory is complete.
Deep stuff – Mekong River Boat, Laos
Lao's so cruisy, that before we happily slip into a sticky rice and sunshine coma, we need to mention the Mekong. Spanning seven countries from the Himalayas to the South China Sea, this mighty river curves through the mountains and marigold-strewn heart of Laos.
Once on board the local houseboat used by Stray, it took a good 20 minutes of indignant phone tapping before realising that your satellites are no good here, Mister Google. This is the Mekong, and it owns you. For two glorious days. Home to an esky of Beer Laos and some of the most spiritual and humbling scenery on the planet, shit got deep. In an incredible way.
Prediction: You'll be in a pair of genie pants before you can say Aladdin, and not just because they make comfortable boat wear. Namaste indeed.
Booze – Laos-Laos whisky
Technically not an official highlight of the trip, more a personal lifestyle choice, drinking is nevertheless an important point to raise. Unlike Thailand, Laos is pretty snoozy. With most locals firmly tucked up in bed by sundown, it's also virtually impossible to find a beer after 10pm (unless you're in Luang Prabang, then your only hope is the knowledge of your local guide and bizarrely, the town's bowling alley).
Laos may be sleepy, but don't be fooled, it's far from dry. Lao-Lao whisky is a staple here. And is a little like being socked in the face by supermarket tequila. And Sambucca. At the same time.
Verdict: Thank you whisky gods. (However, can we please have the feeling back in our faces now? Cheers).
Good stuff – Rice is Life Project, Luang Prabang
Rice, the blandest of carbs, what's to know? Other than it tastes better drowned in curry sauce or fermented into some kind of mind-altering moonshine.
An optional extra with Stray, this community enterprise was truly amazing. Not until you've been thigh high in a paddy full of buffalo poop (belonging to amongst others, a buffalo named Suzuki – genius) will you appreciate the work that goes into producing this humble little carb.
Personal admission: You'll never look at rice in the same way again, you cynical fool.
This was part of Stray's Tom Yum Pass, and you can buy your pass at any of our Backpacker stores in Thailand or Australia.

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio recently announced the appointment of Joseph Esposito as the commissioner of New York City's Office of Emergency Management (OEM).
As OEM commissioner, Esposito will be responsible for properly training city residents on disaster preparedness, coordinating disaster response among all city agencies and ensuring the city is fully prepared to respond to man-made and natural emergencies.
"OEM is on the front line of every major emergency and threat facing the city, and has to work in tandem with other agencies to prepare for and mobilize the city's response to any major emergency, be it a hurricane, blackout, terror attack, or neighborhood crisis like the March 12th explosion and building collapse in East Harlem," de Blasio said. "Joseph Esposito has the good judgment to react and guide the city's response during an emergency, and also has the experience of working as part of a team to marshal the resources of the city and execute strategies to save lives."
Esposito is a 44-year veteran of the New York Police Department (NYPD), having served in almost every uniformed position of the department. He was an important part of the NYPD's evolution from a traditional crime-fighting organization to one with a counterterrorism mission at its core, following the attacks on September 11, 2001.
"Every mayor's first priority is keeping New Yorkers safe, and I am honored to be entrusted with the task of upholding this promise in times of citywide crisis," Esposito said. "From terrorist attacks to hurricanes, our city has experienced devastating crises-and we have weathered these events in no small part because of the hardworking efforts of OEM. As commissioner, I will work tirelessly to build on and improve OEM's strong response record, and deliver the rapid and robust emergency response service New Yorkers deserve."
De Blasio also announced that Irwin Redlener, the founder and director of the National Center for Disaster Preparedness at Columbia University's Earth Institute, will come onto the OEM as an unpaid special advisor with a focus on emergency management and planning.
"As an expert in this field, and a physician, (Redlener's) innovative thinking and depth of knowledge of how we can best keep our city's most vulnerable populations safe will prove to be a tremendous asset and we are lucky to be able to draw from his expertise," de Blasio said.

Here's a look at Microsoft's new social gathering app, which is exclusive to iPhones – CNBC
Microsoft has released a new app that's only available to iPhone users.
"Who's In?" works with iMessage and lets users choose an activity — like going out to dinner or watching a movie — and then send it out to a group of people. Anyone interested in attending the get-together can respond through iMessage.
Microsoft hasn't typically been adept at creating social networks, though. LinkedIn, the exception, was an acquisition. Is Who's In any different? Let's take a tour.

The market will continue to go down, it has no choice. Probably down to 152 to 153 on the $SPY. It should hold at the 10% correction, this should set us up for the next rally. We had the same action to occur in May and November of last year. The patterns should repeat as long as the fed continues to play its games in the market. Don't miss it. (Click on image to enlarge)
Thursday I watched the market closely. I noticed 5 attempts to break the 50 day moving average. All 5 failed. Then on Friday morning about an hour before the market was set to open the S&P Futures were up over a point, but by the time the market opened, not only were all gains wiped out, the $SPY was down over a point on no news. My only assumption is the market was expecting Ben Bernanke to issue a Friday statement that never came to pass. Back in 08, the Fed was really good about making those Friday announcements that would send the market spiking. Oddly enough most of those announcements always came on the 3rd Friday of the month (options expiration).
As for now, Bernanke is boxed in. If he continues to buy treasuries to get the rates down below 2%, it will continue the inflation at the Supermarkets which is harming the poor and middle class which will eventually lead into harming the economy. If Bernanke doesn't continue to buy treasuries, since the money that was printed was not used for the purposes they told us it would be used, we cannot sustain a 2.6% interest rate with a ~1.3% GDP and the market is headed for a good 10% to 20% correction.
We can't change what the clowns in Washington are doing, but we can still create wealth. If the dollar starts to go down and the market continues to go with it...(both must happen Dollar Down AND Market Down, that's the key!)...gold and gold mining stocks will soar! If Bernanke decides to bring the rate down below 2%, the stock market will go up and inflation will be horrible.

Glow Sticks are usually though of as enjoyable during the summer. You see kids at nighttime pool parties, the amusement park, or on the Fourth of July wearing them and having a great time. So when I received these glow sticks to review, I had to get creative. That's when we came up with the Glow Stick Ring toss!
Glow Stick Ring Toss
To set up our ring toss, we placed a mason jar at one end of the living room and put four glow sticks inside. Then, we put together three sticks using the connectors to form rings.
The girls thought this was great! They took their rings made of glow sticks and tried to throw them over the mason jar. The first two tries flopped, but then they moved a little closer and were able to get them over the jar.
Even Brian and I got involved!
What We Thought of the Glow Sticks
These glow sticks available on Amazon claim to be the longest lasting and super bright! I honestly can't speak to them being longer lasting than other glow sticks, but as for their brightness, they really were very bright! This made them really fun to play with, twirl, and wear as glowing jewelry. (And write letters in the dark with! See the H in blue?)
Getting a pack of 100 is a great deal! It's fun to have lots of them for activities like the ring toss. It was also nice because although a couple of them didn't work (one didn't glow at all and one broke), there were still plenty more in the box!
Safety of Glow Sticks for Young Children
Glow sticks are a great, fun, safe toys as long as proper precautions are taken. As I was searching Pinterest for ideas, lots of them suggested breaking the glow sticks open. NOT a good idea! The insides contain glass (that's the cracking you hear when you bend the stick) and that could obviously be harmful to your child. We did have one glow stick break on us just by bending it too hard and we just went and put it in the trash and washed our hands. No harm was done, but glow sticks are parental supervision only toys!
What fun activities have you done with glow sticks? Anything you're looking to try? If so, you can use the code 50GLOWST to get these glow sticks for 50% off! That's 100 glow sticks for about $6.50! Wow, what a deal! Get your glow sticks here!
Disclosure: I received these glow sticks in exchange for giving an honest review. I received no monetary compensation for this review. My views are all my own.
