Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever does.
-Margaret Mead
Those are some pretty powerful words. Words like these are at the center of the Embracing Our Differences art exhibit.
This past week we had the opportunity to check out the Embracing Our Differences Long Island art exhibit. Embracing Our Differences is an outdoor art exhibition celebrating diversity. The Long Island exhibit was put together by the Suffolk Center on the Holocaust, Diversity & Human Understanding.
The art exhibition, together with related activities and events, is intended to demonstrate, in a positive way, that diversity enriches our lives and that active rejection of prejudice and hatred enhances our own freedom.
The exhibit featured about 25 or so designs that were displayed as 12x16' billboards. Each piece of work contained a message focused on subjects such as diversity, unity, acceptance, coexistence, peace, and togetherness. Works on display were done by students, amateurs, and professional artists.
We are very excited and pleased to announce that one of our designs, 'The Same But Different', was part of the exhibit. Sticking with our Famous Seniors theme, our colorful graffiti inspired design pays tribute to Dr. King, Evita, Gandhi, & Mother Teresa; four people who actively encouraged the rejection of prejudice and hate during their lifetimes.
It was a blast checking out all of the designs and it's always fun seeing different takes on a common theme. While taking a look at the designs was cool, the true highlight of the day was a brief talk about prejudice and acceptance from Holocaust survivor Werner Reich. Mr. Reich spoke about some of his personal experiences and raised the point that hatred is a feeling that has no bounds; the only cure for hatred is the complete elimination of the feeling.
The exhibit will be on display at the Grant Campus of Suffolk County Community College thru 10.31.10. The exhibit will then travel around a bit and will be on display at various events.
We would like to congratulate all artists that were part of the exhibit and we invite all of our readers to check out photos of the event. We would love to hear about which designs move you and which are your favorites.
In addition, there is currently an open call to artists for the 2011 Embracing Our Differences exhibit in Florida; for more info about the exhibit and entry process click here.
Men and women, young and old, black, white, red, brown, and yellow; varied people, cultures, and perspectives throughout the world. People - the same but different.

'Onboarding' is a word used to describe the process by which a business introduces a new employee, educates them regarding their new environment and ensures they become an effective and settled member of staff. There are various strategies employed by brands regarding their onboarding process, from online portals to company brochures and handouts explaining policies etc. The onboarding experience is continually evolving and who knows what new and exciting elements will be included in the future.
Below are a few ideas of what we might expect when being 'onboarded' with a new employer in the future, given the advances in technology and management methodologies.
The office will come to you
With more workers choosing, or needing, to work remotely, business will need to consider the possibility that they may not even meet new employees during the early stages of their employment.
SaaS is now the preferred method by which to deliver solutions to both businesses and individuals. This technology allows new employees the freedom to use solutions such as CIPHR Onboarding from wherever they might be. They can access their employers onboarding portal from their own device and at their leisure. As internet access spreads and improves throughout public spaces, our offices will become wherever we may be, whether it's a park, a coffee shop or even the beach.
When required, induction meetings/discussions can be carried out via video chat, message apps or voip calls, no matter where we are, as long as we have our mobile devices to hand!
With the impending explosion of drone based startups, employees will soon be able to have their office equipment delivered to their door, by air. Once they have their laptop/smart phone/tablet/wearable tech they'll be ready to go! No need to visit the office anymore as everything needed is at their fingertips.
Wearable technology will guide
Wearable tech will allow businesses to create an 'experience' for new starters through augmented reality. Instead of being shown around the office to meet other employees, running through the use of their PC and general day to day activities, the new starter can simply wear a pair of Google Glass.
As they approach another employee, through the use of QR codes that colleagues name, position and contact details will automatically be displayed, maybe even their social media profile/s.
As the new employee enters different rooms within the office they'll instantly know the rooms purpose and who works in it.
Offices will mould to the new employees requirements
Technology advances in office design will allow different elements of the office environment to adapt and change according to the employee occupying that space. Chairs, monitors and keyboards will reposition to ensure the best posture is maintained, office lighting will alter accordingly and even the colours of the walls will change depending on the type of work being carried out to inspire the occupant.
Social media policies and training 'the norm'
This one's already common practice. With the ever increasing use of, and inclusion in our everyday lives of social media, brands will need to ensure that it's employees are aware of what's acceptable and not acceptable use of the medium.
Social media policies are already common place and will need to become more comprehensive as social media grows.
Everything will be green
The onboarding process will be as green as brands can make it. From the use of technology to negate the need for unnecessary travel, to ensuring new employees are familiar with the businesses green policies during their induction. Employees may be encouraged to bring plants to the office to promote the many benefits they offer, they may be encouraged to enroll in the car share scheme or even offered a bike to use for the journey to the office.
Telecommuting will be the norm for many, avoiding the need to travel to the office and benefiting the environment as a result.
Bring your own device overtakes company provided technology
As generations grow up more with personal technology being the standard, businesses will start to encourage 'BYOD' policies. This will mean new starters are already familiar and competent using the day to day technology within the business, thus reducing the time required during their induction to train them on hardware/software usage.
BYOD offers the following advantages:
- Cost savings as the employee purchases the hardware/software
- Increased employee familiarity as the devices are their possession
- Increased employee satisfaction as they choose their own hardware
- Productivity increases as employees will always have their devices with them
We know you better than you know yourself
With the use of big data to predict behaviour, companies will know, and be able to cater for, new employee requirements, even before their first day. A pack could be sent out to the employee detailing things such as the quickest route to the office (avoiding traffic), your training requirements (even if not directly relevant to your new positions duties, which sports clubs they'll will want to join, even which social events they would be interested in …the list goes on.
Solutions such as Google Now already offer this type of insight into our own lives, and Amazon are looking into predictive order packing as they think they'll know what you'll order before you do!
The future is here
"From welcoming new employees to your organisation through the entire life cycle management process, CIPHR Onboarding can help you deliver the best experience possible. Your recruitment process is the first impression your new employee will have of your company and the ongoing experience once they have joined is just as important.
They must be immersed in your culture and policies and furnished with the business tools they need to succeed in their new role. Getting this process right can help ensure a quick and sustained return on your investment." Find out more.

Depression recovery seems to be working. I am beyond relieved. It's a little scary to feel good. Really, I'm thinking "is this what people feel like? Wow!" Years ago when I first started on medication, I told friends that it felt like I could do exactly the same stuff everyone else did, but I had to stand in a hole and jump if I wanted to be on level ground. Jumping all the time is tiring. And anti-depressants help to level the playing field for me.
A part of me thinks "honestly, you know better than this." Bigger part of me says, "shut up -- she's doing the very best she can."

Talking to your boss doesn't have to be a scary experience. Most managers actually want their employees to feel comfortable asking questions and speaking up about problems, because they know that open communication is at the heart of a good working relationship. Overcome your fears by following this advice:
- Learn your boss's priorities. You don't want to bother your boss with something he or she sees as trivial. Find out your manager's plans, goals, and major problems so you can choose what to talk about and what to deal with on your own.
- Get to the point. Managers want to talk, but they don't want to waste time. Whether you're writing an email or coming in for a meeting, decide what you need to say and lead off with that so both of you can quickly focus on what needs to be done.
- Present solutions, not problems. Don't simply walk into your boss's office with a problem and demand an answer. Figure out the best strategy and offer that as you discuss the situation. Your manager may or may not agree, but you'll make a better impression if you come across as someone with initiative, not a complainer.
- Prepare to be flexible. Recognize that sometimes your boss is legitimately too busy to drop everything and talk. If the issue isn't an emergency, ask for a good time to come back. You'll show that you understand his or her responsibilities, and your boss will appreciate your willingness to wait.
- Commit to honesty. Don't hide unpleasant facts, or tell your boss what you think he/she wants to hear. You'll only waste time and lose your manager's trust in the long run once the facts come out. You'll win your manager's respect by telling the truth, even when you disagree.
- Listen. Don't expect to do all the talking. A good manager will listen, and you should show the same courtesy when your boss is speaking. Pay close attention, ask questions to confirm your understanding, and take notes as necessary to show you're taking the boss's instructions and perspective seriously.

For those that enjoy the slick feel of a quality made watch without giving up the fashion appeal, the wear and tear, the comfortable price that you spend on it, or the bragging rights that come from looking great, you're in for a treat.
The Seiko SKX007 watch.
This is one that has been out for a few years now, but it's still well-received and holding its own against all of the newer models. That's why it's so highly regarded on /r/watches for being one of the best watches under 500. Take a look at it and all of its perks, and see if this is the right watch for your lifestyle.
If you aren't a watch enthusiast – like a lot of us – you'll take a look at the design of this watch and think, it's just another diver. A person with a small wrist might even say it's bulky. You're right, it's not really slim like a vintage dress watch, and yet it's not as bulky as some of the monster G Shocks available. But that's what makes it so incredible. This is a great value watch and it still looks and feels like a quality watch: it's professional, it's got good weight on the wrist, so that you know it's dependable and I could go on all day about it.
Additionally, when you take a look at it sitting on your wrist, or on someone else's wrist, it looks good. Like really good. Its face is easy to read, the numbers and clear and crisp against the background, and it's the perfect blend of sporty and trendy.
This is a watch that you could buy for someone who likes to look good in their business life, but go out there with a drill and hammer on the weekend and get some work done. It easily changes lifestyles and will keep on ticking in style on your wrist no matter what situation that you are in. The point in all this? It's a great fashion appeal.
So, you're looking at the watch, the price, and now you're seriously considering it. After all, if you are someone who is a avid watch collector, you would have already known that this is a great investment, but if you are someone who simply wants to have an affordable watch that is going to last you many years, you may still have some questions to that need answering. That's understandable.
For $150 or so, you're going to get a stainless steel watch, complimented by Hardlex lens for quality protection, water resistance of up to 200m, and a Lumibrite illumination option so that you never have to squint in the dark again. That's a lot for a price tag of under $200, you have to admit. The watch measures up to be 42.5 x 46mm with a thickness of 13.25 mm, so it'll sit on your wrist nicely, even if a lot of the watches out there don't fit so nicely.
So, you have a quality made watch that looks and feels great and is going to keep you satisfied and in style for years with this wise investment: is that worth the price tag for you? You may be steered in another direction if you are still new to the world of quality watches, but you need to remember that this is rugged enough to be worn everyday. You won't have to be satisfied with cheap watches for your day to day life and then upgrade to fancy ones when you go out on the town. This is the best of both worlds, so for the quality lover on the go, this is certainly worth the $150 that you'll spend to make it your own.
If you're, on the other hand, a professional watch collector, or just someone who knows a lot about them and is looking to figure out whether it is worth the investment to add it to your collection, look at it using the specs above. You're getting a watch that is heavy duty, perfect for everyday use, can be dressed up, has a quality illumination face, and a water resistance up to 200m all in one watch with a price tag in 3 digits. You'll have to admit that it's not often that you find all that many investments tied up in a neat bow like that, correct? Maybe it's not right for you, for some reason, but it's sure to make someone in your life happy, be it a fellow watch collector, or a loved one that you need to find something special for in the future.
Its rightful place is with someone who appreciates it for its beauty and its quality construction, and with someone who is going to wear it everyday and still look good. It's meant for customers of all sizes and shapes with a comfortable strap and small face to make sure that no one misses out on classy style.
You've read a lot about this Seiko SKX007, but the bottom line that you need to remember is that everyone's wants are different. If you're not sure whether it is a good fit for you or not, that's okay. All you have to do is look around at the different models in Seiko's catalogue and see that this is still a crowd favourite years after its release. It's impressive, hands down. So, do your pro and con list, crunch some numbers, and figure out whether this classy and rugged watch is the perfect fit for you. All in all, I got a great deal on Amazon, and there is currently a sale:

As a ministry designed to impact students in Jr. High and High School we understand there is no way to accomplish that without partnering with parents. Parents are the true heros and are responisible for the adults these youngsters grow up to be. Our hope is that as a parent you allow us to echo what you are already teaching day in and day out.
1) Who is actually instructing my student while they are in service?
A) Short Answer: Pastors and Team Members.
Long Answer: All of our Team Members are adults who want nothing more then to see your students grow up to be adults that follow Christ Jesus. Every Team Member undergoes a background check then spend a month shadowing Veteran Team Members to get an understanding of what it takes to work with students.
From there they decide if this is something they would like to commit to for a year.
2) What will my students be learning?
A) Short Answer: The Bible.
Long Answer: As a ministry we have decided to emphasize 7 Checkpoints all year long to make sure everyone is receiving the truths they need to success. Some examples of checkpoints are Authentic Faith, Wise Choices, Healthy Relationships and Spiritual Disciplines. Every time we teach we cover a checkpoint in a different way. When a student has gone through the ministry they will have learned and practiced all the checkpoints in multiple ways.
3) What does a service look like?
A) Short Answer: It looks like a blast.
Long Answer: The way a service looks will vary from week to week, but you can be sure that in a weeks time they will open up the Bible, hear a message about applying the Bible, spend time learning about prayer, build strong friendships with their peers.
4) Who can go to Catalyst Students?
A) We have service times for both Jr. High (6th - 8th grade) and High School (9th Grade - 12th grade)

Radiant Barriers
Project: Dominic & Paige's House
Date: May 20, 2011
House Details: Two-story house in Simpsonville, SC, that has a room above garage
Problems: Upstair rooms always hot in the summer, room above garage unbearably hot, seemed loud upstairs due to inadequate sound barrier
Solutions: Installed a radiant barrier, new insulation, air sealing and duct sealing
Analysis: The radiant barrier is particularly important on this home because the duct work is located in the attic, which means their HVAC system had to work overtime to cool the house. As cooled air traveled through the duct work, it was actually being heated due to such high temperatures in the attic, which meant the system had to stay on longer to bring down the temperature inside the house. The radiant barrier, along with air sealing and added insulation, acts as a cap on the house to keep hot, unconditioned air from radiating into the home and to keep conditioned air from seeping out.
Results: After the first day of our work, Paige told us that she immediately felt a difference in comfort upstairs. Dominic told us he could tell a difference in how sound was traveling from downstairs into his bedroom. He said it seemed quieter upstairs. We will check back with Dominic and Paige in July to find out how much energy they're saving.

News & media releases
International: Salvation Army teams are on the ball in Brazil ahead of 2014 FIFA World Cup
Mission teams from North America, Europe and Australia will boost The Salvation Army's teams in Brazil during the 2014 FIFA World Cup which runs from 12 June to 13 July. The 60 volunteers of various nationalities will be present at eight of the 12 host cities to help local Salvation Army teams communicate effectively with football (soccer) supporters from around the world.
The primary objective is to share the gospel message with fans, as well as to share testimonies and be a friendly, approachable presence for supporters who are thousands of miles away from home. The arts will be used to good effect, particularly in Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo where the Southern California Youth Band will be ministering, accompanied by a Creative and Theatre Arts team from USA Western Territory. Bandmaster Garry Lawrence, himself a former semi-professional football player, outlines that the team members' desire is to 'share their love of Jesus, of music and of football'.

Medivir's CTCL drug remetinostat yields positive data in phase II study
Medivir has reported positive data from its phase II clinical trial of the topical, skin-directed histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor, remetinostat, in early stage Cutaneous T-cell Lymphoma patients.
The trial included 60 patients with the mycosis fungoides (MF) variant of CTCL, who were randomized to receive either 0.5% remetinostat gel BID, 1% remetinostat gel QD or 1% remetinostat gel BID for between 6 and 12 months.
The primary end-point of the study was the proportion of patients with either a complete or partial confirmed response to therapy, assessed using the Composite Assessment of Index Lesion Severity (CAILS).
Based on an intent-to-treat analysis, patients in the 1% remetinostat gel BID arm had highest proportion of confirmed responses (8/20, 40%), including 1 complete response.
The response rates in the other two arms were 5/20 (25%) and 4/20 (20%) in the 0.5% BID arm and the 1% QD arm respectively, and did not include any complete responses.
Across all the dose groups, remetinostat was well-tolerated without signs of systemic adverse effects, including those associated with systemic HDAC inhibitors.
Based on these data, Medivir expects to initiate discussions with regulatory authorities with the aim of initiating a phase III study later this year, and to present full phase II trial data at scientific meetings in the second half of 2017.
CTCL is a chronic, orphan hematologic cancer that presents in the skin. According to the National Cancer Institute, the most common CTCL is the mycosis fungoides (MF) variant of CTCL. MF affects an estimated 15,000 to 20,000 people in the United States, with an estimated 1,500 new cases annually, and around 75% of these have early-stage disease.
Patients remain at this stage for extended periods and require long-term topical treatments for their disease, which causes substantial reductions in patients' quality of life.
A small proportion of patients go on to develop cutaneous tumors or systemic disease, and these patients then require systemic anti-cancer therapy. Medivir estimates that the addressable market for early-stage CTCL in the US alone is approximately USD 900m annually.
Dr Richard Bethell, Medivir's Chief Scientific Officer said: "The results of this study confirm and extend the previously published interim analysis of the phase II study, and show that remetinostat has the potential to be a safe and effective new treatment for patients with early-stage CTCL.
"There are few drugs available for the treatment of the disease, and those currently available have generally poor tolerability. As a result, CTCL patients and their physicians require safe and effective new treatment options.
"Remetinostat was designed to effectively inhibit HDACs within cutaneous lesions, but to be rapidly broken down in the bloodstream, preventing the side effects associated with systemically administered HDAC inhibitors.
"Based on the efficacy and safety data from this Phase II study, we believe that remetinostat is capable of meeting a very important unmet need in patients with this chronic and poorly treated orphan disease."

Good stuff.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
These are some pretty solid campus rungs, especially for the price. Very smooth and perfect width. Good job Metolius!
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
The rock climbing gym I work for opened in March and ever since we are always adding new things. Recently we finished our Campus board using these rungs. I can do the large ones going up absolutely fine and I am working on going down them, we have all three sizes so I can work on them and get better but it is definitely a great tool to get your game up. Even knowing I can buy my own I have contemplated on making my own but never have the free time so I'll get this workout at the gym. Awesome tool, builds strength like no other, just be careful not to do it too much. If you are not careful and campus too often it can cause tendon damage. Otherwise happy campusing!

The two basketball players lived here for some time after they joined the Dallas Mavericks in 1998. On the court they quickly turned the franchise around, off the court they became close friends. They only lived four doors away from each other and would hang out together all the time. Nowitzki got himself a house in 2002, Nash left Dallas in 2004. But it's amusing to think that this apartment complex was once home to two foreign nobodies who later combined for 3 MVP titles and 21 All-Star selections.Homes - Celebrity - Former, Homes - Celebrity - Sports - Basketball

BOYNTON BEACH — A Virginia developer has decided to drop a controversial boat storage center from his plans for a multimillion-dollar marina that is key to revitalizing the city's stagnant downtown, Mayor Jerry Taylor said on Wednesday.
The move may eliminate a major stumbling block to the marina's development.
Developer Edward Garcia is instead considering a city proposal to build an apartment complex and an ocean terrace complete with juice bars and restaurants.
But Garcia has not committed himself to any portion of that proposal.
``He gave me his word he would not build the boat storage,'' Taylor said. ``So I'm very excited about that. That will be residential. Now, we're actually looking at building in some residents that will use what we're bringing in.
``It helps bring more people downtown,'' he said. ``I just think it's a real positive step.''
Residents and business owners have largely opposed the proposed 65-foot-high storage building, next to the Two George's Harbour Hut restaurant, because they felt it would be too large and wouldn't fit in downtown.
``We'd like to see the downtown area have some sort of unique flair as Delray has,'' said Luke Therien, owner of the nearby Banana Boat Restaurant at Ocean Avenue and the Intracoastal Waterway.
``Could you imagine having a boat storage on Atlantic Avenue [in Delray Beach)?'' he said.
``It would have been an eyesore,'' said Fran Cleary, a resident of Sterling Village, a condominium complex on the Intracoastal Waterway.
Critics also thought the dry storage building, which would have housed 220 boats, would increase boat traffic on the Intracoastal Waterway, which is known for boating-safety problems, without adding much foot traffic downtown.
Steve Baugh, Garcia's associate, said the developer will push the marina plans ahead, but he has not decided what he will put in place of the boat storage center.

Veterinarians can choose to attend lectures, seminars & labs on a wide variety of topics: Dermatology, cancer treatments, surgeries, anesthesia & radiology are just a few. This is where we can update our skills & knowledge base with the newest information & research.
This year, I am especially interested in attending the updates on dermatology, radiology & feline nutrition.
This conference also allows us to network with colleagues and compare notes on diagnostic & treatment protocols for patients.
Veterinarians in Ontario are required to participate in continuing education throughout the year in order to maintain a high level of service that is provided to clients & their pets. I look forward to using this new knowledge to enrich the lives of our furry friends.

I Know I am probably re-visiting a theme here......
......I am talking about CHEAP wedding photography, it was prompted when I saw an advert for wedding photography for £259!!
I know that planning a wedding is a very expensive time and I know it usually comes at a time when other things need paying for. Everybody (apart from maybe a handful of people worldwide) has a budget and whatever that budget is, you try to work within it to ensure that your big day is a happy memory instead of a catalyst for debt. Again whatever your budget is - this is a very important part of choosing your photographer, however it shouldn't be THE reason to choose your photographer.
This is one of the biggest days of your life and you are probably taking months to plan it, from venue to dress, entertainment to food, your photography is the only part of your big day that is left after the flowers have wilted and your dress has been packed away. Please, please do not use the photography as an easy way of cutting down your budget. The old adage of "you get what you pay for" is probably most fitting for your photography on your big day.
Do I think you'll get a couple of nice shots from a package priced at the above amount? Sure you will - I have no doubt that you will get "a couple of nice shots" but is that really what you want as your first family heirloom? No - of course not. You want a true representation of your special day and unique products that fit you, your lifestyle and your surroundings.
I know that I am not everybody's choice as a wedding photographer and I may not fit everybody's budget, BUT I do know that the people that use my services are looking for something a little bit special, I know that my clients are looking for that something extra that they haven't found elsewhere and that they understand that the budget, although important, is not the reason that they have chosen us.
My advice is - Talk to the photographer that you are considering booking and ask what he/she will be able to do for your budget. Get the person/people you want first and then try and figure out the money!!
If you have found a photographer that are using their price as a reason to book them, you have to ask yourself, why are they focusing on a low price as apposed to quality products and service to get their work!? - Just a thought!!

2017 Wedding Trend Predictions
BridalTweet.com is now in its seventh year! Since 2009, we've been a thriving community that has inspired engaged couples and wedding professionals. I absolutely love this community's energy and expertise. The images and blog posts that you share are A-MAZING. So, thank you for all of your contributions to help make this a wonderful place to help plan a wedding.
And guess what? Our community's latest trend report is in! Scroll down to find our community's predictions for 2017 wedding fashion, decor, invitations, ambiance and more! Find out what's hot and what's not for the upcoming year!
How did I collect these trends? Well, in early September I reached out to the 20,000 members of this wedding community and asked, "What are your predictions for 2017 weddings?" Below, are the highlights from the answers that I received. After reading this list of predictions, I'm sure that you'll agree that 2017 will bring forth elegant, meaningful moments that we will remember forever!
1. "2017 will be the year of 'urban earthie'. Brides will make sleek, bold choices that are authentic, warm and romantic!! Opposites attract and the mixing of sophistication and nature will strike a beautiful balance!" - Tracy Silver of TSTiara.net
2. "Say Goodbye to DIY. The look now is opulent, updated, and individualized. Think refined, not rustic. Pieces are curated,showing a thoughtful selection chosen specifically for the celebration. Every shade of gold is on-trend, as is lush linens, as fabrics become more and more detailed. Soft shades of champagne, blush, and taupe are highlighted with re-embroidered lace, sequins, and raw fabric treatments." - Sheree Bochenek of apresparty.com
3. "Heritage and back-to-roots themed weddings are coming our way. Aspects of family heritage and more minimalist decor will be incorporated into ceremonies, receptions and even choice of dress / suit. We're loving the more earthy / muted tones and think that the trend is going to continue to gain momentum!" - Ryan of Tailored Fit Photography
"2017 will be all about rekindling the past. Dresses will be vintage, remembering the flowing lace that many of our earlier generations wore. This will be the perfect year to pull out mom's or grandmother's dress and give it a breath of fresh air. Hair will be simple and flowy. This type of hippie chic will be recognized by soft updos and loose pieces that drape down the neck and shoulders. This gives the bride a more back-to-nature and natural look. Makeup will fluctuate between two looks, we believe. For those wanting the soft, natural look, the colors will be pastels or neutrals to emphasize contours of the bride's face. The other look will be focused more on the glamour vintage Hollywood look of red lips and black eyeliner, which is also simple and vintage, just more dramatic." - Doranna of dorannahairstylist.com
4. "Muted palettes with pops of color for flower girl gowns. Purple/plum with lavender accents is the color of choice. Turquoise/aqua or blush pink and gold are trending colors for destination weddings." - Michele of dazzlingdivadesigns.co
5. "There will be a continued demand for loose unstructured bridal bouquets. There will also be an increased use of native flowers, gum eucalyptus foliage, lots of lush greenery & hanging floral installations." - Lina Bteddini of chanelerose.com.au
6. "Mother nature takes over in 2017. Small plants and succulents are used for name cards, favors, and table runners." - Julie Fajgenbaum of Tweed Wolf
7. "Glitter, gold and silver start to wane in popularity as champagne, copper, bronze and especially rose gold take over. Brides still want the glamour of metallic, but are opting for the softer, more romantic and rustic shades." - Erica of Little Things Favors
8. "Traditional cake toppers of bride and groom figurines are on their way out. Here are some of my best sellers." - Inked Icing
9. "Couples are now opting for honeymoons that include extreme adventures like zip lining, hiking, rafting, jet skis, 4 wheel ATVs, horseback riding, scuba, sky diving and more. In addition, we are also noticing an uptick in "come-a-long honeymoons" where newlyweds are asking their friends and family join in and make the celebration even more memorable." - Burt of LatitudesWI.com
"2017 Wedding Couples are opting for 'non-traditional' honeymoon destinations." 2017 wedding couples are interested in alternative destinations for their honeymoon; and the number one destination for 2017 is Thailand. Thailand appeals to today's honeymoon couples because of the vast history, gorgeous beaches, and a culture you cannot experience anywhere else in the world." - Michele Botnick of shamrocktourstravel.com
10. "2017 bridal gowns are very elegant. The trains are more dramatic and longer. The gowns have beautiful intricate beading, and ball gowns are making their way back." – Cindy Cordell of wenatcheeweddings.com

So of course when I read the synopsis for Drip Drop Teardrop, I absolutely had to read it. If there's anything I like as much as romantic portrayals of beings who manipulate death (God that sounds creepy when I write it, but it's true!) its a fresh take that will introduce a new mythos for me to follow.
Here's what I can tell you: Drip Drop Teardrop isn't perfect, but it sucked me in and I really enjoyed it. Want all the details? Read on. :)
Even Death Can Fall in Love...
Avery hasn't had it easy.
When she was ten years old her parents died in a car crash. Now nine years later her Aunt Caroline is the only family she has left. And Caroline is dying. So when Death comes knocking (quite literally) in the form of the damaged and dangerous, Brennus, Avery makes a deal with the reaper in order to save Caroline.
Brennus is an Ankou.
One of the many, once mortal men and women, who were given the choice to become an immortal in exchange for ferrying the dead over into their afterlife. Nine years ago Brennus took Avery's parents and tried to take Avery, but she fought him and won. Amazed by her strength Brennus followed Avery and has watched over her. Now he knows Avery is the one to offer him freedom from his obligation to the dead.
And he'll stop at nothing to have her.

The company HONSBERG Metallsaegen GmbH located in Remscheid, Germany since 1798 recently launched a new band saw blade for efficient cutting in forging mills and for professional tool steel traders.
Beside the ongoing implementation of heavy duty band saw machinery in the industries the band saw blade manufacturers are faced with new challenges to cut new high and highest alloyed steels grades and nickel base alloys. Big dimensions should be cut with minimum cutting channels, highest performance to achieve the lowest cost per cut.
The new product HONSBERG AURUM shows many features which are specially balanced for the cutting jobs you find in forging mills and for professional tool steel trading.
The HONSBERG technicians selected a high speed steel of grade M51 which shows a high wear resistance due to its increased content of cobalt and tungsten.
Hallmark of the tool are uniquely chamfered tooth flanks which generate an aggressive penetration for cutting high and highest alloyed steel grades, nickel base alloys and many exotic steel grades which are difficult to machine. Defined chipping sections are generated by the precision chamfering so a constant wear out is achieved all over the blade. There is no tooth wearing out faster than others which often lead to the early break-down of conventional made band saw blades. Other advantages beside the extended service life are a reduced roughness depth and minimized cut deviation which was requested by end-users.
With the extension of the range up to a blade widths of 100mm HONSBERG follows the trend for upgraded heavy duty machinery especially in forging industries. HONSBERG is one of the few manufacturers who offer this blade dimension worldwide in order to service customers for cutting channels today up to 2500mm at present.

Claimed to be The Hunger Games meets The Bachelor, The Selection actually drew me in because of it's reality TV attitude. I was there for the tension and intrigue among the contestants, as well as the developing romance between America and Maxom vs. America and Aspen. As someone who went and auditioned for Canadian Idol, I've had a bit of experience with the whole competitive aspect of reality TV and when romance was mixed with that I couldn't look away.
So, are you curious what I thought of The Selection? Did it live up to my expectations? Leave me deliriously giddy or completely ticked off? Read on and find out.
The Plot: (Summary from GoodReads)
For thirty-five girls, the Selection is the chance of a lifetime. The opportunity to escape the life laid out for them since birth. To be swept up in a world of glittering gowns and priceless jewels. To live in the palace and compete for the heart of the gorgeous Prince Maxon.
But for America Singer, being Selected is a nightmare. It means turning her back on her secret love with Aspen, who is a caste below her. Leaving her home to enter a fierce competition for a crown she doesn't want. Living in a palace that is constantly threatened by violent rebel attacks.
Then America meets Prince Maxon. Gradually, she starts to question all the plans she's made for herself- and realizes that the life she's always dreamed of may not compare to a future she never imagined.
"So, you're choosing him over me?" he asked miseribly.
"No. I'm not choosing you or him. I'm choosing me."
We meet Aspen first, and honestly, I just thought he was alright. He has this very "I'm the Man" attitude going on that really irritated me. I get it: he's poor, his family needs stuff and he has a strong need to prove himself. But really ... he just wasn't my type. And I really, really hate what he did near the end of the novel. I'll save talking about that for a book chat or something, since I don't want to spoil it. I guess my other big issue with Aspen is that we really don't get to see the relationship between him and America grow. We enter it en media res and personally, I just wasn't impressed.
Maxom, on the other hand? Oh my God I loved him. Sign me up, sign me up! Here's the thing, guys: I was totally ready to hate his guts, just like America was. But he was absolutely nothing I figured he would be. He's in the same class as only one other book boy I've read about who left this kind of impression on me: Linden from Wither. This is a really, really hard thing for an author to pull off, in my opinion. A lot of times when a reader decides they're gonna hate somebody, it sticks. But Maxom had this very sweet and innocent quality that is very unusual for a YA love interest, a vulnerability and honesty that actually made me stop going, "Oh, God. I feel so sorry for America, having to go and meet this twit who has girls brought to him that he can pick between." and instead think, "Gee, this guy is actually pretty neat. I'd love to see America and Maxom get together. I'm still kinda eh on the Selection itself, but at least the prince is worth fighting for," That is huge.
The other really great characters here were some of the girls that America is competing against for Maxom's hand. There were a lot of characters here, and of course there was no way Kiera could really flesh them all out in vivid detail. But I really loved Marlee and I look forward to finding out what her deal actually is in the next book. Something has been set up around her, I have *no* idea what that is, and it's killing me. Celeste, who could be considered the book's "villain" was decently done, although I wish we'd seen a few more layers about her. I suppose that would be hard to pull off in first person POV though.
The Romance:
The first thing I want to touch on, and I have a little already, is the parallel between Aspen and America vs. Mxom and America. I understand that Aspen and America needed to already be together to make the plot work, but it really put his character at a disadvantage and (to some extent) made him feel like a plot device to me. Whereas with Maxom, we actually get to know him as America does and so (at least for me) I felt my attachment to him growing as hers did.
There is also the parallel of the things Aspen does to get America to go into the competition, in comparison to how Maxom behaves at every turn where she pretty much tells him she does not want to be there. Does this work in Maxom's favor? Is it likely what helped make his character into more then I assumed it would be? Yes. But it also poses a problem: As far as The Selection is concerned, the love triangle is weak. The fact that I had such an easy time picking which guy I want the heroine to be with, that it felt almost painfully obvious to me, is an issue. I am curious to see whether Kiera will address that down the road, or whether she meant for it to be that way.
One of the things I really liked about the book is that it didn't just make all 35 of the girls competing for Maxom turn into simpering piles of goo the moment they got to the palace. I'm sure there are some who are naturally growing to care about him, as with America. But at the same time, there are those who are discovering they don't feel anything for him and still others who are plain out to win a crown. Maxom's situation is not as simple as it might seem. Consider the idea that for him there really aren't "plenty of fish in the sea". When coupled with the fact that he seems genuinely concerned about picking someone who will want to be with him, the idea of the Selection becomes a little more easy to swallow.
The last thing I want to say is that I loved the growth we see between America and Maxom in this book. We see her go from having perceptions about him, to becoming his friend, to beginning to have feelings for him. It's truly beautiful, still isn't "flawless" by the end and actually feels like it has a certain sense of naturalness behind it. It's rare to find well paced romance in YA when you step outside of the confines of contemporary, so this was a very welcome change.
In General:
The Selection was everything I hoped it would be, nothing I really feared it would be (personally) and many things I never expected it to be. I cannot possibly sing the praises of this book loudly enough, or express how bad I want the next book "NOW!" without fearing my enthusiasm will be seen as pure impatience. I do realize it takes time to write a good book, and based on her debut, I think I am safe in saying Kiera Cass is destined for great things. The Selection was an absolute joy to read from start to finish.
Is it as fluffy and frilly as the dresses on the front cover? Absolutely. But I wouldn't have it any other way. This is the kind of book that can make a person fall in love with love again. There are books, and they are different for every person, that are truly treasures for our hearts, minds and spirits. Sometimes its because they have a message we need to hear. At others, a place we long to go. Or perhaps its when an author has told a story we might have thought of ourselves. I'll leave you to consider which and whether these apply to me about The Selection. What I will tell you is that it's possibly my favorite thing I have read all year.
If you like pretty dresses, romance and memorable characters, The Selection is not to be missed!
So, have you read The Selection? What did you think? Are you team Aspen, team Maxom or are you staying neutral? If you haven't read The Selection, do you want to? I'd love to hear your thoughts, so please feel free to leave a comment! :)

How a Police Department established an online following more than eight times the size of their city's population
It's not every day that a small police department makes an impact in their community and across the world through digital communications, but that's exactly what's happening in Brimfield, Ohio. The Brimfield Police Department (PD) has a city population of only 10,000 people, and yet their Facebook page has nearly 89,000 likes. That means that an audience more than eight times the size of the town is engaged in the day-to-day communications of the local police force. This robust social media following is causing a wider effect on the town with housing up 30 percent over last year at this time. Digital communication is putting this small town, and their police department, on the map. That's the kind of success any government communications team would dream about.
So how can you replicate the success of the Brimfield PD through your digital communications plan for social media, email messages, website updates and more? After comparing a recent interview with Brimfield police chief David Oliver with our own government clients' communication success stories we think we have it narrowed down to three key communication principles: be consistent, be relevant and be engaging.
Be Consistent
The message I've always said is if you're going to do it, do it. You have to be consistent — and we are. Between 6:30 and 7 a.m., we have a good morning message with weather and traffic and we poke fun at people with birthdays. People rely on it. If I miss it, you see the messages — "Where's the chief today? Can't go on without the message." It's been comical on that end. But the expectation of our followers has built quite a relationship. Our followers know that good news or bad news, we're going to tell you the truth.
One of the keys to any digital communications strategy is consistency. The Brimfield PD has a social media schedule that they stick to every day. They post entertaining "good morning" messages with daily updates about the town. The police chief also posts up-to-date information with the latest news (good or bad) from the police department.
The positive impact of consistent content scheduling is clear: by posting frequently on social media, sending out regular newsletters, or routinely updating online content, your followers will know exactly when and where to expect information from you—increasing the odds that they will see your messages. Additionally, by consistently updating these digital channels you provide more opportunities to drive traffic to your website and your information.
Be Relevant
I think like a citizen instead of like a police chief. After almost 20 years on this job, one of the things I see are public officials who tend to think from the perspective of their responsibilities instead of thinking about Mrs. Jones on Breyerwood Lane who wants to know why she's hearing sirens. If a huge crash delays traffic, I can post what to use as a detour. We're becoming an information-now society. People don't want to wait until the 6 p.m. news and chances are it won't be there anyway. When you tell people what happened or what's going on, it gives them a sense that everything is okay.
The Brimfield PD is giving their followers timely information that they look for from a police department. They also pepper in some humor to keep the content fresh and interesting. They know "Mrs. Jones on Breyerwood Lane" wants to know the scoop on local police-related disturbances, so that's what they provide.
Government organizations, like Brimfield PD, have the benefit of being able to offer information no one else can. When you are writing online content, think about what your unique information is in relation to what your audience might be looking for. And don't forget to reference any and all analytics you can get your hands on to ensure you're broadcasting the messages that are relevant to your audience's actual needs and interests—not just what you think their needs and interests are. One of the great tools GovDelivery provides in its digital communication management tool is the option to allow subscribers to pick the categories and topics they are most interested in learning about. Data like this can help set the stage for the theme of updates this audience is most interested in.
Be Engaging
…All of this has helped the community understand that we're a team. If we're going to reduce crime, the people have to be willing participants. People have become very protective of the department, and that's huge for us. Some people use the private message function to leave a tip or to tell us about a nuisance in their neighborhood. We wanted to have any means of communication available so our department is the most functional operation it can be. I think the paradigm is shifting a little bit toward using social media as an outreach tool rather than just picking up the phone to call the police department.
The Brimfield PD is using digital communication as a two-way street. Getting their message heard is vital to the Brimfield PD's mission, but hearing from their community is an important component to that mission. Instead of just spewing out facts, they are encouraging interaction with the community by allowing members to leave a tip in a Facebook message or starting a conversation.
By encouraging your stakeholders to not only listen, but talk back, you provide an opportunity to build a relationship. Another police force, Stearns County's Sheriff's Office, embedded multiple options for citizens to submit tips to the Sheriff in all their email communications with County residents.
Through social media posts, email messages, blog comments, website forums and more—you can provide an opportunity for your audience to participate in your mission. Just don't forget to broadcast those engagement opportunities out to your stakeholders.
Learn More
You may not be able to amass an online community on the same scale that Brimfield has overnight, but the basis of their marketing strategy is something that can be applied to any local, or broader, government organization to improve outreach and citizen engagement. Just remember to keep your digital content consistent, relevant and engaging and you are well on your way to developing a more robust relationship with your stakeholders.

This is being promoted as "Microsoft's cloud solution for PC management" which will be commercially available March 23.
"It's an all-in-one solution that brings together Microsoft® cloud services for PC management and malware protection with a Windows 7 Enterprise upgrade subscription."
Did not find anything in the forums about this, so wanted to get the discussion going.

We do have a discussion group for this here: http://community.spiceworks.com/group/show/407-windows-intune
We also have a page full of info here: http://community.spiceworks.com/pages/WindowsIntune
Please let me know what questions you have! I can help with most!

Ya know I'm really intersted in this but they need to change their presentation around a little.
From reading the site they make it sound like you have to have Win 7 Ent to use this. Which for me is like "wtf....all my clients have win 7 pro and a few ultimate..."
They really hammer away the Ent windows. So i decided to look a bit deeper and see whats what
So I saw this. Which they did not do a good job of making clear in their web blurb. i.e I should not have had to look in a faq to find this; (Emphasis mine)
"What are the Windows 7 Enterprise upgrade rights included in Windows Intune?
All of your managed PCs covered by Windows Intune may be upgraded to Windows 7 Enterprise, as long as they meet the minimum system requirements for Windows 7:
- In addition to Windows 7 upgrade rights, Windows Intune customers will have rights to upgrade to future versions of Windows, as well as downgrade rights to older versions.
- As long as your subscription is active, you will have access to the best version of Windows for your business to standardize on—making your PC environment easier to manage."
Ok so that's better. I basically get a free upgrade to Ent. Ok that's better...but what if you don't want to upgrade?
"What are the operating system requirements?
The Windows Intune client software is supported on both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of:
- Windows 7 Enterprise, Ultimate, and Professional
- Windows Vista Enterprise, Ultimate, and Business
- Windows XP Professional with Service Pack (SP) 2 or later (SP3 recommended)"
Ahh ok. So i don't have to upgrade anything. I can use it on what we have now, and upgrade if I desire to.
So if I were to judge this product by the website adverts and marketing, I would have (and nearly was) been misinformed about the product. Again..I should not have had to dig through an FAQ to find this.
All in all I was not getting the right info. It seems that the resale value and the Windows licensing is worth it. This would help a couple clients clear up some licensing issues they have yet to resolve. I think I'll give this thing a try. I really hope it's worth it.

Thank you JN for your thoughts on the Windows Intune webpage. I am sorry that you found it confusing and hard to follow.
Yes I have been working with Windows Intune for a while - but I thought this was pretty easy to follow: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsintune/pc-management.aspx
- Windows Intune is unique because it's an end-to-end Microsoft solution that brings together Windows cloud services for PC management and endpoint protection with a Windows 7 Enterprise upgrade subscription. With the easy-to-use web-based console, you get immediate insight into your PC environment and can view update and malware status, alerts, security policies, and more. You just need an Internet connection and the Windows Intune client installed on each PC you wish to manage.
Again I appreciate the feedback! :)

The first thing I did was a search . . . from a cut-and-paste but it looks like somehow I got some extra characters that fouled up the search. My Bad! Thanks for being ahead of the game!

haha! Thats cool (i wont hold it against ya) :)
I am glad that you posted... I would like to hear the good/bad/ugly that everyone has to say about Windows Intune!
Mar 3, 2011 at 22:02 UTC
All sounded good, until I saw this:
"Windows software included in Windows Intune is provided on a subscription, non-perpetual basis. If you cancel your subscription, the Windows software must be uninstalled, or you will have the option to purchase a perpetual Windows license to continue using the latest version."
So wait, there's a 1-year minimum, at $132 per machine, and that's still not enough for MS to actually "give" you a copy of Windows 7? Amazing...

From an MSP perspective that only really helps me keep a client. If I sell them the InTune package with a copy of windows, then if they wanted to leave, I have have to remove windows.
It's as if I am leasing them the software, and if they want to move away from that, then they forfeit the software
Even from a non MSP perspective, if you're a SMB then really your options for buying windows in bulk is really limited. I know there are programs, but most smb don't want to deal with it. I know I don't either. I just resell a dell with windows preinstalled because I don't want to deal with MS's very hard to understand options for bulk purchases. This would in turn be an easy an easy way to deal with that and cover your AV and monitoring costs in the same price. All of that for this price seems like a good deal for certain people.
The whole idea is vendor lockin. MS wants you to pay them and they would like a piece of the recurring revenue pie. I can hardly blame them. I don't totally agree with it, but in my case, I just resell the lockin to the client and that's that.
Perhaps there could be an option from MS to say you can keep the copy if windows if you retain service for X amount of time. That way you can leave, and they perhaps recouped their costs for the copy of WIndows.

If you or your cusotmer purchases Windows Intune - and want to use Windows 7 Enterprise perpetually, you can. There are buyout rights for Windows 7 Enterprise so you CAN use it if you choose not to renew Windows Intune.

You can make your own massage oil by adding six to eight drops of essential oil to each ounce of carrier oil, such as sweet almond, apricot kernel or another light vegetable oil. This amount is the total number of drops to use even if you add more than one essential oil. Blending several essential oils together is an art you develop through experience as your nose learns how the oils relate to each other. Begin by limiting your combinations to two to four oils. Once you're comfortable blending, take aromatherapy to the next level by creating a different custom-designed blend for each person.
Relaxing Massage Oil
• 2 ounces carrier oil
• 9 drops lavender oil
• 6 drops geranium oil
• 1 drop marjoram oil

text: I'm not sure how new this is but it's the first time I came across it so figured I would let everyone here know. So I got a message from someone on one of my bigger pages saying that they have a method of increasing pages by 50-100k real likes really fast. He said they were selling this as a service and I could test their service for free and create a new page to add fans to. Of course right away I knew it couldn't be legit and I get messages all the time on my biggest page of people trying to conduct some type of phishing in order to hack my page so I figured this was no different but it was something I haven't seen before so I wanted to know how he was going to do it. So I agreed and gave him a new page that I started a while ago that had zero fans that was also linked to a different account which were not connected to any of my other pages (he figured I would make the new page on the same account as my big page). Here are the exact steps he gave me to start the process of getting the fans: your page is entered to system please do this steps to complete your request 1- enter your page admin panel . 2-click on Resources Tab in the left . 3- when it open please click on ( Invite Email Contacts ) . 4- it will open please chose yahoo and enter this mail to invite ( [email protected] ) and click invite . 5- it will open apop up please enter mail : [email protected] and password : 123321^^aa and click agree when you finish you will redirect to face and click invite to this mail and wait 60 mins and our system will work to increase your page The next day I tried to log into that account and of course it said I entered the wrong password. I also got this message on that facebook account's email: "Your Facebook password was reset using the email address [email protected] on Monday, December 10, 2012 at 4:18pm (UTC+02)" So once I sent the invite to that specific email address this then links that email to your facebook account and that is how he was able to hack that profile. Also I should note that I had thought I gave him an account with only one new page on it but it actually had a page on it which I forgot about that had only 4k fans on it and he removed the admin rights on it. Luckily that page was worthless.

A glass of wine between business partners is a time-tested method of getting to know one another. Polish wine company Casa Mariol were writing invitations to their clients when they had a better idea: fill the pens with wine, not ink. The invitations would become more fun to write and the potential clients would get a sample taste before they've even signed up. Who can say no to that?
San Francisco, April 21, 2011 -- On April 12 and 13, Oberlin Dance Company and ODC Theater's dynamic founder Brenda Way hosted a two-day symposium titled "Women Who Frame the World: A Symposium on Creativity."
Cambridge, MA -
While the Notes crew was in Boston last May, we met and interviewed a variety of compelling characters in medicine, engineering and creative business - from rising stars to Nobel Prize laureates - the faces behind innovations who help to shape our human ideals, and who embody our collective hopes for the future.
As President of The Juilliard School, Dr. Joseph Polisi is a twenty-first century visionary poised at the helm of a world-renowned performing arts institution; he is a fierce proponent of the arts, an author, a teacher, and a performer.
At SABON, you are at once immersed in a deliciously fragrant sensory frenzy encased within the walls of an urban oasis:
Every so often, you meet someone who, in even just a short time, manages to change your life forever; someone possessed of such charisma and vibrancy, you come away from the experience with creativity ablaze, hopes renewed, confidence restored and idealism reborn.
In the arts world, there seems to exist a mystical but sizeable chasm separating "the artists" from "the managers" -- two camps that can never quite seem to reconcile their differences.
Panicking about missed birthdays or neglected holidays? Worry no more.
Enter EnGreet, a website world where you can inscribe personalized messages, design a unique card and--with a few short clicks--get it sent to a printer who will drop it in the mail for you. All for the same price as a Hallmark moment.

21 September 2016, 5:00-6.30 pm
Conference Room B, UN Headquarters, New York
Convened by the Governments of Italy and Japan
Co-organized by the ITC and FAO
On 25 September 2015, the Member States of the United Nations adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, which includes a set of 17 aspirational Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that will guide actions of governments, international agencies, civil society, private sector and other institutions over the next 15 years. From ending poverty and hunger to responding to climate change and sustaining our natural resources, food and agriculture lie at the very heart of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. SDG2 calls for the world community to end hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition, and promote sustainable agriculture. Solving these problems together is a key challenge presented by the SDGs. This side event will explore ways that SDG2 can be achieved by nurturing sustainable food systems, including through the support of the engagement of youth.
Highlights of discussion will include:
1. Trade, food security, nutrition and growth
2. Connecting small-scale food producers, including family farmers, to markets through innovative platforms
3. Innovative policies and cooperation with private sector
Please note: Space will be limited. RSVP to email@example.com or 212-963-6036 no later than 15 September. Please indicate in your response if you do not have a UN Grounds Pass.

You know too well that by having a proper financial plan today, you are securing your future finances as well. Hence, you should not neglect it. If you don't want to suffer the following negative effects of poor financial management, then you should consider hiring a financial advisor as soon as possible.
- Getting trapped in the vicious cycle of debt
For most people, what could be one of the most cringe-worthy and the root of all the problems is getting stuck in the vicious cycle of debt. Whether you admit it or not, it very easy for you to spend beyond what you should spend without even realizing it in the process. You just wake up with a substantial debt that will force you to have another liability only to pay another debt. This cycle is vicious. Hence, you must avoid it at all costs.
- No finances for retirement
Another adverse effect of poor financial management is not having enough money that you can use for retirement. Having a financial planner on your side can rest assured you that after working hard all these years, you will be able to enjoy your retirement without any debts to pay.
- Overspending
Not having a secure financial plan can also lead to overspending your money. If you are not careful in spending your money, it can easily lead to debts that as what we've mentioned above, can easily get out of control if neglected. By having a secure financial plan, you can rest assured that you'll be able to discipline yourself in buying things that you need instead of buying things that you want.
- Compromising the education of your children
You spend a lot, in the long run, you didn't notice that you have not saved for the education of your children. As a parent, it is your responsibility to send them to school. Now that you are required to pay for the tuition, you are most likely to get a loan from the bank to pay their required tuition fee.
- Not being able to repay your loan
What's horrible is that because of overspending and lack of financial knowledge, you run out of ways to repay your loan. Your lender will most likely disapprove if you are not able to repay your monthly bills. Aside from that, there are legal consequences that you must face if you failed to repay the loan from them. Hence, it's about time that you hire a financial advisor that can help you with your legal concerns. Some may see it as an added expense, but if you look at the bigger picture, they can help you get out of your loan.
Now that you know the negative effect of poor financial management, you should start thinking about it now and create a plan for your future. In that way, you can rest assured that you will be able to enjoy the rest of our life without suffering from any financial problems you failed to manage.
