The snow is here! Although I'm not always thrilled with snow before Thanksgiving, I'm pretty excited about it. After a very hot summer and the most amazing autumn weather we could have asked for, I'm now hoping we're blessed with a white Christmas. Nothing makes you feel more in the spirit for the holidays than a beautiful white blanket of snow on the ground. The holidays are SO close! I'm thrilled we're going into a short week, with Thanksgiving and a long weekend up ahead. And as soon as Thanksgiving is over, Christmas begins... decorating, holiday parties, watching cheesy Christmas movies. I'm thrilled for it all.
This past weekend was a good and relaxing one! Friday night, Eric and I headed into East Lansing to see Wicked! It was excellent. We absolutely loved it. Saturday was especially lazy. We made breakfast together, and I ended up watching While You Were Sleeping and falling asleep for a long nap. That night, we met up for a friend's birthday and went bowling and headed to karaoke afterwards. Sunday, we tried a new breakfast place called The Lazy Susan, which was delicious, and grabbed groceries for the week. We came home, watched Dan In Real Life, and Eric headed off to hockey as I washed the bedding and cooked beef stroganoff. I also love winter, because I'm able to bring out all of my seasonal winter favorite dishes. Individual chicken potpies, homemade chili, slow-cooker meals... yum!
I need to scour my wish list to see if anything is going on sale this weekend. I really have been wanting a pair of Hunter boots for winter, plus I need a new winter coat. I have a bunch of little things I've been holding off on purchasing too, hoping I can ask for them for Christmas. A new Fitbit band, a fancy water bottle, a new 2017 wall calendar... I'll do a little collection for the blog soon and maybe it'll spark a few good gift ideas for you guys too! Have a great week and happy preparations for Thanksgiving!

Personally I've been wanting to get my hands on some cannabis oil for it's healing powers of all sorts of diseases from minor to as major as all kinds of cancer but because I live in the state of Connecticut I am unable to. Therefore I am very delighted to have discovered it's cousin, hemp oil called CBD oil.
What's the difference you ask considering it's the same plant? Let me explain…. Medical cannabis derived from marijuana is the female flowering plants that yield budding and contain high levels of THC credited to causing the marijuana high. Medical marijuana produces anywhere between 5-20% THC on average where hemp contains very little, in Canada they set the maximum at 3%. Achieving maximum THC levels in marijuana is tricky and requires close attention to grow-room conditions. Marijuana growers usually aim to maintain stable light, temperature, humidity, CO2 and oxygen levels, among other things.
In contrast, hemp plants are primarily male, without representing flowering buds at any stage in their life cycle. On the other hand, hemp is usually grown outdoors to maximize its size and yield and less attention is paid to individual plants. They grow tall and sturdy and often used for other materials like clothing and paper.
Hemp and marijuana plants contain another important cannabinoid: CBD. Hemp plants produce more CBD than THC, while marijuana produces more THC than CBD. Interestingly, research has shown that CBD acts to reduce the psychoactive effects of THC, separating hemp further from marijuana.
As you might already know, all cannabis is illegal to produce in the United States. Both hemp and marijuana are classified as Schedule I drugs under the Controlled Substances Act.
However, outside the U.S., hemp is grown in more than 30 countries. In 2011, the top hemp-producing country was China, followed by Chile and the European Union. Hemp production is also expanding in Canada, with the country's annual crop reaching a record high of 66,700 acres in 2013.

Staples, RadioShack boot Amazon lockers from stores
Staples ended the test with Amazon after it "didn't meet the criteria we set up together," said Demos Parneros, president of North American stores. RadioShack stopped the program because it didn't fit its strategy, said spokeswoman Merianne Roth.
Bloomberg News
Staples and RadioShack have removed Amazon.com lockers from their stores after the partnership failed to meet expectations.
The retailers began testing a system last year in which Amazon shoppers could pick up their Web delivery at a store at no extra cost. This meant customers didn't have to be home to receive a package, or risk a delivery being stolen because it had to be dropped off on a doorstep or in a lobby.
The decision to enter a partnership that made life easier for Amazon's customers came at a time when the online retailing giant was already a major competitor to both chains.
"That was a little bit odd, but what they were hoping for was that when customers would come in to pick up stuff from the locker, they would pick up additional items," said Brian Yarbrough, a retail analyst with Edward Jones & Co. If they pulled the lockers, that means they probably "weren't seeing the incremental sales out of the deal."
Staples ended the test after it "didn't meet the criteria we set up together," said Demos Parneros, president of North American stores and online for Staples. The company declined to comment further on why it ended the partnership or how many lockers it had in place.
RadioShack stopped the program because it didn't fit its strategy, said spokeswoman Merianne Roth. Chief Executive Joe Magnacca, who took charge in February, is cutting items to reduce clutter in stores while improving displays to boost sales of major brands such as Apple.
Amazon spokeswoman Mary Osako didn't respond to a request for comment.
With Amazon and other online retailers undercutting RadioShack on price and selection, sales at the electronics chain have declined in the past six quarters, leading to a net loss of more than $200 million.
Amazon has also been taking sales from Staples as it sells more office and school products. Revenue at the world's largest office-supplies chain has slid in seven of the past eight quarters.
Staples also sells Amazon's Kindle line of tablets and e-readers.
The fact that these chains were willing to help the customers of a major competitor "tells you it's difficult out there and they are willing to try a lot of different things to bring people in the door," Yarbrough said.

However, even this is not enough to make it as safe as some other forms of transport as other road users have the ability to cause accidents even if the taxi driver doesn't. Taxi accidents do happen and can happen at any time, even when we least expect them to, often as a result of taxi drivers working long hours with few breaks or speeding to get more custom. Regardless of who was responsible for it, being involved in a taxi accident can have dire consequences for victims. Taxi accidents can lead to untold misery and may cause life-changing injuries or even death. If you have been injured in a taxi accident that wasn't your fault but someone else's, you may be entitled to make a personal injury compensation claim.
How Much Compensation Could I Be Entitled To?
Of course, it depends on the injury so we really cannot give you a round about figure to what compensation you will receive. All we can tell you is that if the taxi driver has accepted liability for your injuries, then you may be eligible to make a compensation claim. Call Tylers Solicitors today on 0800 699 0079, and we can talk you through your claims process.
As every taxi accident is different, there is an increased likelihood of a range of different bodily injuries being sustained by their victims. As a direct result of this, it is hard to calculate amounts that may typically be awarded as a combination of different injuries may be sustained to the bodies of victims in accidents of this kind. One case may concern a taxi accident where the victim suffers a broken or fractured leg injury whereas another may concern an accident where the victim suffers another injury in addition to a broken or fractured leg injury and other injuries on top of these.
Our Types of Bodily Injury page has a full listing of all the injuries that you can suffer in a variety of different accidents if you need to know how much compensation you could be eligible to receive. Details of amounts that have been awarded in past cases for a wide range of different injuries and to varying degrees of severity can also be found using our claims compensation calculator.
What Are The Most Common Injuries Caused By Taxi Accidents And How Are They Caused?
There are many different injuries that can be caused by accidents in taxis and the ways in which those accidents can happen are perhaps equally varied. Some taxi accidents are caused by careless driving and may include the driver driving excessively fast around corners and accelerating and braking suddenly. Many problems often arise when passengers aren't abiding by the law by wearing their seatbelts in the event of a crash. This often results in them being moved about violently inside the vehicle. Injuries in taxi crashes can be extremely serious especially if the car was travelling at a very high speed at the time it collided with an object or another vehicle and passengers are not wearing their seatbelts. Broken and fractured bone injuries are amongst the most commonly reported injuries in taxi accidents as well as laceration injuries to the exterior of the body in the form of cuts and bruises.
Here is a list of common injuries:
- Bruised Body
- Broken Leg
- Broken Arm
- Whiplash Injury (More about whiplash injury)
- Strained Back Injury
- Bruised Face
- Broken Nose
Internal bleeding is a more serious injury that can occur if the accident was bad enough. These injuries often require lengthy and painstaking surgery to repair the damaged internal blood vessels and can result in death if the bleeding cannot be stemmed. Brain damage to varying degrees of severity can also occur if the trauma of a substantial enough level is sustained by the victim's head. The long-term impact of brain injuries can be dire for their victims and can lead to other conditions like post-concussion syndrome amongst others. The sheer terror and distress of being involved in a taxi accident can also lead to long-term psychological problems which can have untold consequences for the victim. Additionally, whiplash and other spinal and neck injuries are also common in taxi accidents and happen when another vehicle strikes the back of the taxi at high speed when the taxi is stationary.
I've Been Injured in a Taxi Accident – What Should I Do Next?
If you have suffered an injury as a result of being involved in an accident in a taxi, there are things you should do to give yourself the best chance possible of being awarded the maximum amount of compensation. The best way to do this is to seek immediate medical attention even if you feel as though you are alright as you may be in shock and not feel any immediate pain if you have broken or fractured a bone for example and whiplash injuries may take the time to develop fully. When you are at the hospital, the doctors treating you will note down the injuries you have suffered in your medical records. This information will then be used as evidence should you decide to go ahead with making a personal injury compensation claim.
If you can, you should also make a note of such things as where and when the accident happened as well as the date and the driver's personal details including their full name, insurance details and car registration number. If other drivers were involved in the accident, as is often the case; you should do the same if at all possible. The testimony of witnesses is also exceptionally important in establishing who is to blame and so the compiling of their details will also without a doubt help your case incredibly as will taking photos of the scene. It is also a legal requirement that you contact the police following an accident should you be able to. This ensures that there is an official record of the event and it gives you a better chance of securing a settlement.
What Factors Determine How Much I Could Claim?
If you have been involved in a taxi accident recently, the amount of money you could be entitled to claim very much depends on a variety of different factors that are based on the particular circumstances surrounding the accident itself. The maximum time limit for personal injury compensation claims to be made in the United Kingdom is three years, so if you wish to make a claim, you should ideally do so within that period. The overall extent of your injuries and damage to your body is another key factor in determining how much you could be eligible to claim. This is because the most severe injuries are normally awarded the largest sums and the least serious tending to be awarded the smallest. Furthermore, the accident must also not have been your fault, but that of someone else and you should be able to prove this with the evidence you compile.
The taxi driver is often blamed for injuries sustained by passengers travelling in their vehicle although this is not always the case, especially if the passenger is distracting them in some way and therefore contributes to the accident. In the event of the driver being culpable for causing the accident that led to your injury, the claim will be made against the taxi firm for which they work. If the accident was the fault of another road user, however, the claim could be made against them. If the accident happened as a result of the road or an obstacle getting in the driver's way then your claim will probably be made against the local authority responsible for the area in which the accident took place. The amount you could be entitled to claim may also be reduced if you weren't wearing your seatbelt at the time of the accident as this is a legal requirement and your injuries probably would not have been as bad had you been wearing it.
What Can Compensation Be Claimed For And How Can It Be Used?
If your claim is successful, the money that you are awarded could be used to pay for any number of things related to the injuries you have sustained. The amount you could be likely to receive is based on the overall losses you have suffered and usually, covers any money you have had to spend to induce recovery. For many instances, this includes travelling expenses if your injuries were bad enough that they warranted a journey to the hospital or your doctor's surgery as well as for subsequent appointments if you have had consultations about receiving further treatment of some kind. If you are left with some residual disability, the money can go towards making any adaptations to your home or car as well.
The money can also cover the costs of any medical treatment if you have opted to be treated privately instead of using the services of the NHS as well as covering the amount you have lost in earnings over the period you have had to take off work to recover if you have had to. The money can also be used to pay for the general pain and inconvenience you have suffered as a direct result of the injuries caused by your accident. To improve your chances of being awarded compensation, you should retain any receipts for petrol or tickets if you have travelled to your appointments using public transport and any documents detailing the cost of any private medical treatment you have received.

Last week, I made some delicious macaroons, and it was also very fun to make them! This recipe, adapted from several across the internet, makes about 20 nice little ones:
- two cups sweetened shredded coconut
- one cup full-fat coconut milk
- two tablespoons agave nectar
- two tablespoons coconut flour or other GF thickener
- one-two teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon or nutmeg (optional)
Make sure coconut milk and fat is well blended.
Whisk together the coconut milk, agave nectar and salt in a heavy saucepan over medium heat.
Add the flour and whisk thoroughly.
Heat the mixture to a full boil, and continue to boil for about two minutes or until it has thickened.
Remove from the heat and whisk in the vanilla and coconut.
Roll the gooey mixture in small balls and place onto the baking sheet.
Bake the macaroons for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
The macaroons will set up best if refrigerated for a couple of hours.

Easy Duplicate Finder full review
No matter how big hard drives get, we seem to run out of space just as quickly. This space is filled up by music, photos, movies, and documents you use daily. If you have duplicate copies of these, however, you're losing a massive amount of space. A duplicate file finder is one way to bring order into the chaos. And at $40, Easy Duplicate Finder is a solid and customizable way to get rid of some duplicate files.
Free options are abundant in the duplicate finders market, and if you're simply looking to delete your duplicate files, duplicate finders from Auslogics or DigitalVolcano will serve you well. With its $40 price tag, Easy Duplicate Finder offers some extra features that do provide more control, especially over the processing stage (pricing is in US Dollars - $40 equates to around £25).
Easy Duplicate Finder's interface feels a bit old-fashioned, but is easy enough to understand and use. Scan folder or subfolders by dragging and dropping, and use the filters to scan for certain file types, limit file size, or exclude entire folders from the scan. The results are presented on the bottom part of the window, and here too, Easy Duplicate Finder can help you with decisions.
On my system, Easy Duplicate Finder scanned nearly 90,000 files in 34 minutes, and declared over 6GB of them to be duplicates. This is very thorough compared to similar tools. The results are displayed in both a list and a colourful pie chart, which show all your duplicates according to file types. You can use the chart to spot the most problematic file type, and head straight to the problem source using the left-side menu.
Looking at the results, you can easily choose to delete, move, or rename only the files you want. Here I encountered a small bug in the program: Sometimes it just doesn't perform the action you choose. Trying again usually solves this problem. If you feel overwhelmed by the amount of files, use the Resolve Duplicates Assistant to help you reach a general decision. Don't worry, you can always undo any action you decide to perform.
Easy Duplicate Finder can either bore deep into your system, searching inside compressed files, looking at music tags, and examining file contents, or it can simply find all duplicate images or music files in a single folder. Outlook users can use it to easily find duplicate contacts and emails, and it can even be used to take control over your ever-expanding iTunes library.
You can try Easy Duplicate Finder for free, but it will let you take care of only 10 groups of duplicate files before requesting an upgrade. You can continue scanning without upgrading, but you will have to resolve the duplicates yourself. Is it worth $40? Only if you really need the special features and fine-grained control it provides. For simple duplicate file detection, especially on a home computer, a free option would do just as well.
Easy Duplicate Finder: Specs
- Windows XP SP2/Vista/Windows 7/Windows 8
- 32 bit or 64 bit
- 400MHz CPU
- 5MB of free space

"It takes an army to win a battle," and our battle is against MPS in animals.
At MPS Army Foundation we treat our dear furry friends with great love and devotion. With your ongoing support we can continue to work with breeders to eradicate the MPS-VI gene from dogs, and provide a better life for those currently living with the disorder.
MPS Army is proud to support Dogs, Cats and any other animals that may be discovered with MPS in the future.
What makes us different makes us beautiful!
If the kindest souls were rewarded with the longest lives, these animals would outlive us all.
What is mps?
MPS-VI (aka Mucopolysaccharidosis Type 6) is an inherited disorder that does not allow sugar molecules to break down in the system. This affects multiple organs including the lungs, heart and skeleton. Symptoms can be mild, severe and life threatening or anything in between. In people and animals with MPS, glucose (sugar) molecules in cells cannot be broken down and removed by the body. Over time, this degenerative disorder is fatal.
Puppies born afflicted with MPS-VI rarely survive past the age of 2, and those who survive that long have a range of medical issues.
Our Mission
The Mission of the MPS Army is to eradicate MPS-VI in dogs through Awareness, Education and DNA Testing, as well as, to provide support for those dogs affected by MPS-VI.
Our Vision
A world where MPS-VI is a thing of the past in dogs and, until such a time, all dogs affected by MPS-VI are given the support necessary to have the best life possible.
Our Goals
1. assist with medical bills for the dogs found to have MPS-VI
2. provide funding for breeders to have their dogs tested for MPS-VI
3. send an MPS ARMY certification for the tested dogs that have been found to be free of the MPS-VI gene
4. provide an "out" for people whose dogs have been found to have MPS-VI who no longer wish to provide care for that dog
5. provide an adoption list for people wanting to adopt and care for an MPS-VI dog
6. raise funds for medical research for dogs with MPS-VI.
7. provide educational materials to breeders and parents of dogs with MPS-VI.
8. provide post mortem assistance to families of dogs with MPS-VI

It was a beautiful day to have the annual Challenge Charter Schools Field Day, on Friday, June 22nd. We welcomed our almost 800 scholars, parent volunteers, staff, administrators and special guests to Bayswater Park for the festivities. The Parent Association and key staff members worked for months to plan the event, and our coaches created fun athletic field day stations to go along with the traditional bouncy houses and slides.
Dr. Mullings, Founder and CEO served as host, thanking sponsors and special guests from our Board of Directors such as Ben Waxman and local leaders such as Councilman Donovan Richards. Local sponsors included Herman's Deli, Chipotle in Lawrence, McDonald's in Five Towns, Stop & Shop, The Corner Donut Coffee Shop and CostCo.
The theme for 2018 was "Take a Stand" to join with students and families in our community and across the nation who stand against gun violence and are advocating for better safety at schools. Scholars participated in the theme on the day of the event by putting their hand prints on a large banner that read, "Take a Stand."
The June event celebrated the full charter for Challenge Preparatory Charter School with grades kindergarten through 8th grade represented. Challenge Charter Schools thanks our local sponsors and everyone who donated time, supplies, and food to make Field Day 2018 a success.
We have two albums of photos from Field Day. For K-5 photos visit this link. For 6-8 photos click here.

StampFinder® began in 1995 as the first multi-dealer website dedicated to philately. We see the Internet as the life blood of the hobby and the vehicle by which stamps can become a popular investment in addition to being the most universal hobby in the world.
We are not dealers in stamps. Our interest is in promoting stamps as an investment through providing the type of information investors are used to seeing with other investment products they buy. For stamps such information includes price appreciation histories, pricing, availability, demand and sales data. Such data allows an investor to distinguish between stamps that show appreciation potential from those which are merely expensive. Even collectors can benefit from this information since they invariably reach the point where the stamps they seek exceed their resources. Hence, they can opt to buy first those stamps which will increase more rapidly, or cost more tomorrow.
We have a number of projects in development which will assist collectors in valuing their collections and in greatly improving the value they or their heirs can achieve from its eventual sale. We are also working to make the search for hard to find stamps much easier including email notification when the item you seek becomes available at the price you want to pay. This will prove to be a valuable feature in this time of wildly fluctuating currency values that can make a foreign offering suddenly attractive.
The power of the Internet has hardly been harnessed. Its impact on philately has been profound, but has much more to offer.
Your comments and suggestions are always welcome. You may contact us here.
As a lifelong stamp collector, Richard saw the investment potential of stamps long ago. His career has been in finance, where for many years he has been a financial newsletter publisher, columnist with Forbes magazine, author of a book on income investing and investment advisor to high net worth individuals. From his long career he has learned the importance of asset diversification and the importance of financial analysis in investing. He has found that the principals that lead to good asset allocation in traditional asset classes apply equally to investing in stamps. The information is there in abundance, the challenge is in organizing the information and in being able to act on it. The StampFinder website is designed to accommodate the gathering, dissemination and acting on this information.
Richard is now bringing his expertise in finance to assisting collectors in building a portfolio of stamps which will help preserve their wealth in these turbulent times. His focus is not on the stamps that sell for tens of thousands of dollars - these are hard to buy, hard to value and uncertain as to the value they can realize. His focus is on stamps issued before 1950 which have achieved a value of at least $25. This is a large universe of seasoned stamps with proven appreciation records, many of which can rival stocks for their appreciation history. Information on which he bases an investment decision is more transparent and reliable than anything he's found on Wall Street
The nations of the world are in a race to devalue their currencies to fund impossible debt burdens or gain a competitive edge. Traditional investment vehicles are being manipulated or debased to accommodate the needs of governments at the expense of investors . Postage stamps are immune to government regulation and outside normal financial controls. In this respect, they are like paper gold, but weigh a lot less. They are also a worldwide interest and therefor, more immune from the economic ups and downs in specific countries and other events. While we in the U.S. have numerous investment options and markets, this is not true for most of the countries of the world. There, stamps still represent one of the safer investment alternatives.

Jonathon King
Edgar-award winning author Jonathon King is the creator of the Max Freeman crime series set in the Everglades and on the hard streets of urban South Florida. In his previous career as a journalist, he was a police and court reporter for 24 years with the Sun-Sentinel in Fort Lauderdale and the Philadelphia Daily News.
"I have basically cannibalized my past news writing career to create the crime novels I now write. I've been on dozens of crime scenes, sat for hours in courtrooms, spent three days in a Florida prison (as a guest) and interviewed too many cops and victims and criminals and traumatized family members."
"I've watched autopsies performed, sat in the back seat of a patrol car during a high-speed chase, had a gun pressed to the back of my head (mistaken for a dealer by an undercover cop) and sat in a bar with a detective watching a midget cocaine dealer lick the barbeque sauce off his stubby fingers while negotiating the sale of six kilos."
In 2000 King spent two wintry months alone in a mountain cabin in North Carolina hiding out and writing the manuscript for The Blue Edge of Midnight which won the 2002 Edgar Allen Poe Award for Best First Novel by an American author.
After writing three more novels in the series, King quit journalism and now writes full time South Florida. His most recent work, Midnight Guardians, continues the Freeman series and is set in King's beloved Everglades where he canoes and airboats and tromps about regularly.

The reason I have such a hard time figuring out what to call him is because every single one of these images and of the movies you will see in a minute are all DIGITALLY DONE. Not a single one of these images are real. You cannot find a single one of these places in real life. It doesn't seem possible that all of these are made in the computer but they are. Throw a few stock photos of humans in there and I'm sold! Tell me how much one of these places are and I'll buy it and move right on in. His weapons of choice are 3dsmax, Vray, After Effects, and Premier. Here is one of four teaser trailers. Oh yeah, did I forget to mention that this all part of a larger project. A movie.
Kahn's Exeter Short Film from Alex Roman on Vimeo.
At the end there are links to the rest of these videos along with a link to his website.
The imagery is stunning and the music is stunning. Not only did this guy create these worlds, but he also designed and created the music for these pieces. No need to say that once he makes the music public I will do everything in my power to get ahold of it for my own collection.
Creating a 3D-reality image is hard enough. But creating an entire world is astonishing! All the images I showed you at the beginning are all stills from this movie that is being created. I do not even know where to begin. This post is more of a drooling of his work. Scott Hansen, the owner of the website that I found this on, put it best. He said,"But what amazes me here isn't just the execution, Roman crafts truly beautiful images with impeccable taste, something often missing from highly technical productions such as this."

Goodbye Thankful/
Sunday evening as Chris and I ate some anniversary short ribs at , he asked me: "What will you miss the most about this city?" Did I mention we were in the, staring out the window at the bay, watching sail boats smooth past?
My answer was easy, "Not counting friends," I said, "I'm going to miss how beautiful this city is. I will never get over it."
The first weekend we were here, we spent a day pushing August in a stroller up and down hills for almost seven miles. We walked from and all the way up to . And I couldn't believe the beauty of this place: the ocean and mountains and green leafy trees, beautiful houses with bay windows, parks everywhere. The from the roof of our apartment in North Beach always made me feel like I was living in some European landscape: Colorful houses set on hills one direction, water on the other. I don't think another city in the US can compare with this one.
The thing about this goodbye is that I keep forgetting it's happening. Sunday was our last day at . We were late, as per usual. Brooksie started crying during the sermon and I bounced with him in the back. During the last hymn, I joined my husband who looked at me with watery eyes, which, of course, caused me to sniffle a little. Then, we were normal. We said hi to friends, looked at pictures of Natalie and Jason's new cat on her iPhone, forced August to pee in the potty so he could get a donut, made some jokes as we passed folks on the staircase. And then we were standing outside in the sunshine, opening the stroller, and walking away.
Maybe that's good. Last things are hard. We walked the five blocks to our home, then we went on to our last farmer's market and bought strawberries and cherries and peaches. We sat at park (with its fantastic view of downtown) in the sunshine and August covered his face and bare chest (we took his shirt off) in cherry juice.
Did I mention that two different shifts of friends who love my boys came from 3 to 8 so that Chris can I could go out for that anniversary dinner? And did I mention that when I went to bed Sunday night, it felt like any other night in this apartment we love?
But, this week is full of endings: My last Yoobs, August's last day of school (today), my last Mom's Group, Playgroup, pediatrician appointment, etc.
Perhaps if you can't be thankful during the ending, you were never thankful during it. Or, maybe I should say it this way: I'm learning that if you live with a thankful spirit, that thankfulness bleeds over into the whole of things: their beginnings, their middles, their endings.
Today, I'm thankful for the people I've loved here. And I'm thankful for the place that held us near them for a sweet season. I'm thankful for endings full of peace and heartache and thanksgiving.
It's still Grateful June around here. What are you thankful for?

The World Revolves Around the Home
"White Cottage Door" by Dwayne Warwick. Type in the artist's last name at www.allposters.com and see his other vivid paintings.
I doubt very much that people want to live in an office or a place of employment. Ultimately, whatever their career or other interests, people long for a home. It is interesting to observe, that much of the commerce we around us is centered on things to enhance the house and the life at home.

Speaker Profile Q&A: Vivien Lewit , Global Head of Artist Services, YouTube and Google Play Music
As Global Head of Artist Services at YouTube and Google Play Music, Vivien Lewit directs a team of music ambassadors focused on developing and executing strategies to support the growth of artists' careers on YouTube and Google Play Music. She also oversees the company's live music content programming and special events, including international live music events, music projects within YouTube Spaces, and unique fan engagement activations. Vivien will be taking part in the 'Future of Ad-Supported Streaming' at NY:LON Connect on January 23.
:: What was the most exciting music trend on YouTube in 2017, and why?
2017 marked a meteoric rise of Latin music on YouTube. You don't have to look beyond some key metrics to understand the scope of consumption.
Six of the 10 most viewed music videos on YouTube in 2017 feature Latin artists. At the start of 2017 only five Latin music videos had reached a billion views. Today, 22 videos featuring Latin artists have hit the milestone.
Of particular mention is Despacito: It is the most-viewed video in YouTube history, reaching the record in just 204 days. It's the first video to reach three billion views, and the only one to reach four billion views.
Other artist examples include J Balvin and Willy William's 'Mi Gente'; Shakira's 'Chantaje'; Natti Natasha x Ozuna's 'Criminal'; and Maluma's 'Felises Los 4', which all rank among the 10 all-time fastest videos to get to one billion views.
What's behind this trend? It's a combination of things. One: the music is connecting because of the global reach of platforms today, YouTube being one of those. I hear from a lot of the artists and labels down in Latin America that YouTube has been a gateway to the rest of the world for those artists.
Of course, the music itself is great, and that's what's connecting with people all over the world. And on top of that, I think the artists themselves are spending more time on YouTube and other platforms connecting with fanbases, growing their audiences and cross-collaborating – both from a genre perspective, and from the artist's home-region perspective.
:: What musicians / creators caught your eye in terms of how they used YouTube in 2017?
Artists that are using their YouTube presence and their channels to share their narrative with fans and tell their story. They're using new tools like Community and live as well as uploading content ancillary to their core music videos. Anitta, Alan Walker, Marshmello, Ozuna and Camila Cabello are all examples.
From video shorts to documentary-style pieces, there's an ability on YouTube to create and really build a storyline for yourself as an artist, in the same way that other creators do. If it's done right, you have this perfect world coming together: the music videos living in the same space where you as an artist can actually speak to the fans, and guide them to the content you want them to view.
As an artist, you can control the narrative as opposed to letting it be guided just by the media or others. So it's not just about producing super-high-quality music videos: you can create really amazing content and dialogue using our tools.
:: What do you think the biggest digital challenge will be for our industry in 2018?
Discovery and connectivity. With massive music catalogues at your fingertips, immediate information sharing across countless media sites and publishers, socials, influencers, gamers, binge-watching TV-like programming etc, how do we break through the noise?
It's important for artists to differentiate themselves and remain top of mind for their fans in order to sustain longevity of releases, tour, sell merchandise and maximize their growth opportunities.
I'd add that not only do artists need to differentiate themselves, but platforms such as YouTube need to find unique ways to support artists and help them connect and engage with their fans.
In 2018 we'll be delivering a subscription service to meet the needs of artists and fans, continuing to help artists find alternative revenue opportunities, through ticketing, etc.. and working closely with our label partners to understand their priorities and help promote and break artists.
:: Which trends and technologies are worth keeping an eye out for in 2018, and why?
A: Blockchain/Cryptocurrency and its role in music. Can it successfully store and track data to solve licensing gaps? Be used exclusively as currency associated with a specific artist? Will the potential for fraud be too great to prevent usability?
It's such an intricate subject: you really have to spend time sitting down and studying the nuances of the technology. From providing a mechanism to have the data move with the songs so that content can be monetized around the world, to how it can work with payments, it's super-interesting. So is this going to be something that sticks, that's going to work?
:: Which question/topic would you most like to see debated at NY:LON Connect?
As subscription continues to grow significantly, we should nevertheless be considering what will be the next big change to how fans consume music. Are the models/pricing right to fully scale globally? What format shift will revolutionize distribution once again and how do we make sure we are ready for it.
2018 is an incredible inflection point for music subscription, and it's healing the industry: more revenues are flowing in, and that's great. But we can't sit back and be complacent, and not think about what the next iteration might be.
It may be simply another form of it, or different modeling around the business of streaming. But if history continues to repeat itself, it won't be that long before there's another format, or a way of consuming music, or of remunerating rights-holders for music, that's going to emerge.

Front desk receptionists are responsible for making the best first impression on behalf of her employer. Many types of companies hire front desk receptionists to greet customers and visitors as well and handle lightweight office duties. People who succeed as front desk receptionists like people and are good communicators, and many receptionists use the position as a catalyst to higher paying jobs with more responsibilities.
Hone your people skills. As the first line of defense against disgruntled customers, pushy salesmen and important business clients, you will need to be comfortable interacting with many personalities both on the phone and in person. Balance friendliness with professionalism.
Learn basic business skills, such as how to use word processing and spreadsheet programs. Your employee may have specialized software he will want you to learn as well as how to operate the telephone system. Be prepared to multitask because you may have people standing in front of you while handling phone calls or clerical work as well. Strive to stay busy with administrative tasks between phone calls and visitors.
Dress the part of company ambassador. Clothes should always be cleaned and pressed. Whether the company dress policy is business casual or professional, you should strive to dress as if are preparing for an interview. Avoid clothing that is too tight, too short or too low cut. Your goal is to present a conservative image of confidence and helpfulness.
Learn as much about the company as possible. A large part of your job is to direct visitors to the correct department or answers. The more you know about the company the more effectively you can accomplish this task. Spend your spare time honing up on company policies, products and services. Review the company organizational chart and prioritize learning the names and schedules of upper management.
Before accepting a front desk receptionist job, ask what specialized skills and requirements are necessary to complete the job. For example, a medical receptionist many need to understand medical billing and basic medical terminology while hotel front desk clerks may spend a lot of time on their feet and be expected to work nights and weekends.
- While many receptionists now utilize the computer to take messages or direct customers to employee voice mailboxes, others are required to hand write messages on memo pads. When taking messages strive for excellence. Repeat back names, numbers and messages to ensure you have copied the message correctly.

World's most dangerous, deadliest sharks named
Photo: Daniel Amezaga
As if the recent rash of Atlantic shark attacks were not scary enough, "Shark Week" is almost here to ruin the rest of your summer vacation.
Discovery News, with help from the Florida Museum of Natural History, has named the three deadliest sharks that are roaming our planet's bodies of water.
Dubbed the "Big Three," George Burgess, director of the Florida Program for Shark Research, says these sharks have teeth that are designed to shear rather than clamp down. They are also usually found in areas where more humans enter the water.
The data on non-fatal and fatal attacks stretches back to 1580.
See which sharks are the deadliest in the gallery above.

Bioplastic. Biodegradable. Bio-equivalent. Drop-in. Oxo-Degradable. Bio-based. Compostable. Plant-based.
Are you exhausted yet or at least thoroughly confused? We get it. These terms get thrown around interchangeably quite a bit, but they don't mean the same things. Let's call this #EpicConfusionForTheConsumer.
First, let's talk about what a bioplastic actually is.
When you see something labelled as a "bioplastic", that simply means the material contains at least 25% bio-based or "plant-based" content from natural, renewable sources, most commonly sugarcane or corn using today's available technology. The source of the renewable content is different depending on the type of bioplastic and the region in which it's produced, but the percentage is the same. The remaining 75% can be any concoction of petroleum-based additives and chemicals that make the plastic more stretchy or heat resistant, and of course, cheaper to produce.
25%. Have you ever passed an exam with only 25%? It feels more like those nachos where you can see every single shred of cheese and the bottom chips are totally dry and desperately unhappy. 25% is not a result we strive for.
We decided years ago that this was not who we were going to be. We're committed to making products and packaging with the highest possible plant-based content, and we don't use any additives that have been identified as being potentially hazardous to human health or the environment. We're not trying to hit a minimum standard. We're trying to drop-kick fossil fuels and hazardous chemicals out of the products and packaging in our everyday lives.
And we're trying to speak everyday English while we're doing it. You'll see us use the term "bioplastic" from time to time and even "bio-based" when we have to be more science-y. But the bottom line is that the source of our raw materials is plants, so to keep things simple, we call our materials "plant-based".
There's also a ton of active research to expand the sources of plant-based materials used for bioplastics to include agricultural waste and even CO2 re-capture. Our products and packaging are not all dependent on one type of plant-based material, and we continue to tweak our proprietary recipes to incorporate the latest scientific developments.
We've shared our thoughts on hazardous chemicals here.
And on biodegradability and compostability here.

Valli scored over 25 Top-40 hits with The Four Seasons, a handful of Top-40 hits dubbed as a solo act in the late 1960s, one dubbed as The Wonder Who? in 1965, and again in the mid to late 1970s. His best known "solo" single is Can't Take My Eyes Off You.

Small and light. Feature rich.
Poor volume control and sound quality.
Bottom Line
The pricey mp3135 offers a lot of features but sound is disappointing.
At 3.8 pounds, the HP mp3135 is smaller and lighter than most others here, and it delivers a bright, high-quality image. But poor volume control, sound quality, and image height adjustment marred its otherwise superb test results.
The mp3135 offers four connectors with included cables: S-Video, composite video, audio, and connection to a computer (but only M1-AD to VGA for analog mode). Both M1-AD cables include a USB connector for remote mouse control. And the optional Smart Attachment Module lets you connect the projector to a wireless network or run a presentation from a USB flash key.
A minor problem is that the lens has a relatively long throw, and its resting position can put the top of an image on the ceiling. Also, the height adjustment on the front can only adjust the image to be higher. To make it lower, you must prop up the back of the projector.
We measured brightness at 1,745 lumens, which is just below the rated 1,800 and easily bright enough to view on a large screen with the lights on. The contrast ratio was a respectable 281:1. The mp3135 did swimmingly on our DisplayMate tests. Auto-sync in analog mode left a little jitter on screen, but a manual adjustment locked in as solid an image as digital mode.
One important issue is the projector's volume and sound quality. We tested with both a DVD player and a portable computer. In both cases, even with all volume controls set to maximum, the sound quality was poor and the level was barely audible. We had to strain to hear it.
Although a bit pricey, the mp3135 offers a lot of features and good qualityas long as you don't need sound that can fill a room.

If you are here from IFB and like what you see, I have plenty more to share. Follow me on Facebook, Twitter, Bloglovin, Pintrest you can also share your thoughts and views in the comments.
Masculine Chic or Menswear for women, the trend gives a feminine touch to traditionally masculine pieces. Various female celebs have adorned the trend over the period of time on the red carpet, a trend introduced by Diane Keaton's wardrobe in the 1977 comedy Annie Hall. The trend has an androgynous appeal, and the outfits are not overtly sexy yet do have feminine qualities.
But I feel one of the most challenging trend to style is Menswear, there are various inhibitions and questions surrounding menswear for women like, 'Can you look feminine in masculine cloths…, Can you look sharp yet pretty…' or one I get from everyone 'Its for the skinny girls…' for this is one trend that can always keep you on the edge. So today's post is about How to wear Masculine Pieces without looking like a "Tomboy"…
Get Inspired: There are great male inspirations & Style Icons
Tom Ford: Designer who revolutionized men's Fashion, he himself is an epitome of Muscular elegance. Sharp… Chic… Bold… are the words which define Tom Ford's. I'd prefer to CUT+COPY+PASTE his style any day and it will never fail me… here is my way of Tom Ford style.
Jhonny Depp: One of the sexiest man alive, he can make a Bear Costume look as stylish as a Tuxedo. He is neither rock star, nor actor, nor celebrity; he is an expatriate artist and that reflects in his style as well. With a signature Fedora, Faded Jeans, boots and lots of bracelets he has created his own fashion and a lot like me follow through religiously…
James Dean: "Everyone either wanted him or wanted to be like him" Ask Men. When it comes to James dean he was the king of cool, his rebellious style has inspired all the restless souls since 1950s. What ever his style would be his accessory was always a cigarette dangling in his lips… here is my inspiration of "Rebel without a Cause"
Adorn 'My Lady': Wear key pieces with your adorable feminine apparels
Why not just Suit up:
Miroslava Duma glamourised a Mens Suit with a deep neck Vest and heels…
Doina Ciobanu– is wearing a masculine grey suit and paired them with High Louboutins Heels for a touch of feminine elegance…
Dress up in flirty & feminine fabrics with Masculine Cuts… The trend was seen on the runway as well: Phillip Lim
And at last there are a more and more women on streets to rock the trend…
Lastly if you are worried about looking big, then the trick is "Waist"…
- If you are want to wear a Mens Shirt with shorts or a skirt, then pick high waisted. It makes you look curvy and smart, pull the collar slightly upward to make your neck look slimmer.
- If you want to wear Pants, they can be Wide + High waisted or Narrow+ Low waisted. Keep volume centered on one item either Above waist or below waist.
- To wear a Suit make sure its pleated from back, it makes your silhouette look curvy.
- Try a Bustier or Tube top for the suits it makes exposes your colar bone and neck and gives an illusion of Long neck.
- Same goes with heels, flats make your calves look smaller and your back larger; so stick to stilettos (avoid block/ wedges)

Great inspirational post! I love menswear for women and you have some great examples! I love the Johnny Depp look, I would totally rock that, haha!
Congrats on being featured in IFB's Links a la Mode this week!
Brilliant post, I love how you transferred these lads' style on to a girl's look 🙂 I love men's clothes and notoriously rob my boyfriend's shirts. He is not impressed 😉 check out my most recent post about… boyfriend jeans! 🙂
Ugghhh!!! I just died. The interpretations are so awesome. Makes me want to dress like a man everyday!! lol

Challenges with securing your critical collaboration applications
Understanding risks
Messaging and collaboration platforms are critical apps for many businesses. They need to be up and protected from intruders. Identifying their vulnerabilities and prioritizing these based on risks is the best way to focus your patching efforts where they really matter.
Preventing attacks
Like any web-based systems, webmail and collaborative applications are vulnerable to automated scripting and injection attacks, attempting to steal sensitive data and identities. These attacks need to be stopped.
Protecting identities
Identity theft is a significant risk associated with webmail and collaboration apps. As the line between personal and professional usage blurs, both on the device and in the employee's mind, the same user credentials tend to be used for both. Once stolen, your corporate data is up for grab.
Bring your own
Consumer technologies such as tablets and smart phones being used in corporate environments, your risk exposure has exploded. Unmanaged devices are inherently insecure. You need to prevent exploits leveraging vulnerable apps and man-in-the-browser attacks.
Controlling access to data
According to a Microsoft survey, employees use 17 cloud apps on average and workers in 91% of organizations use their personal accounts to access their company's cloud storage services. Enforcing authentication policy and simplifying security for users is simply a must.
Measuring compliance, adjusting investments
Demonstrating compliance with policy and regulations is important. But it's not sufficient. Being able to perform a forensics analysis on successful attacks is critically important as well. Do you know how people use the rights granted to them?
Benefits gained from using DenyAll to secure your webmail and collaboration applications
Reduce the attack surface
DenyAll Vulnerability Manager helps identify assets, prioritize vulnerabilities, distribute remediation tasks to various team members and report on compliance with corporate policy and regulations. Knowing where you stand is the first step to providing a secure environment.
Prevent application-layer attacks
DenyAll Web Application Firewall is reverse proxy based central point of access for all internal and external access requests to your corporate applications via Web interfaces. It will block attacks originating from both hackers and compromised accounts or devices.
Enforce authentication policy
DenyAll Web Access Manager, an add-on to DenyAll WAF, is a central authentication service for all web applications, ensuring people authenticate using the appropriate method for each application, using simple or strong, two factor authentication, when needed.
Simplify security for users
DenyAll Web Access Manager makes security easier for users by providing a single sign on mechanism for all web applications, including your corporate apps. It learns and replays the authentication mechanism used by each application on behalf of users.
Mitigate Man-in-the-Browser risks
DenyAll Web Application Firewall and DenyAll Client Shield combined prevent malware residing on insecure devices from injecting themselves into a session, even before users authenticate. With this end-to-end protection, your critical apps are secure.
Control and respond to bad user behavior
DenyAll Web Application Firewall monitors user behavior in context to prevent attacks targeting the application logic. Combined with DenyAll WAM, it can ensure people are indeed who they pretend to be, by adjusting the authentication method, or deny access if the risk is too high.

Application Guidelines
Guidelines for submitting applications
Applications for assistance are made to the Society by social workers in State agencies and other charitable bodies. The Society will only consider applications made by such social workers, and will accept or reject applications at its absolute discretion.
An application form will be provided to social workers on request to the SIRKS office.
(Phone 01 6676213) (Email: firstname.lastname@example.com)
Application forms must be completed in full, and include a typed cover letter on headed paper and signed by the social worker, please.
Forward to: Sick & Indigent Roomkeepers Society,
41 Fitzwilliam Square West, Dublin 2, D02 F961.
Email: email@example.com
1. Applicants must be resident in Dublin city or county.
2. Aid should be for severe distress such as a crisis precipitated by unforeseen illness/financial hardship. Particularly favourable consideration will be given where aid can contribute to getting the recipient back on their feet and achieving self sufficiency.
3.Requests for assistance will only be accepted from Social Workers or other recognised state agencies working with people in distress. Application must be signed by a qualified social worker in State agencies or other charitable bodies working with people in distress.
4. Statutory sources of aid and entitlements must first have been applied for and found inadequate.
5. The Society would expect that any person on whose behalf an application for financial assistance is made should, where appropriate, be liaising with Money Advice & Budgeting Service (MABS).
6. While aid is normally given to a family/individual once only, repeat applications in cases of particular need may be considered. No on-going commitments can be entered into, though aid may be dispensed on a phased basis if this is deemed best.
7.

Born in the tradition of the Toadies and Baboon, Here Holy Spain is out to prove (at least locally) that punk--or rather, that the form of music that passes for punk nowadays--isn't dead.
The trio's debut full length, Manic, hits the streets April 7th, but since Here Holy Spain plays the Doublewide on Saturday night, we at DC9 thought you might want an early preview of the album. Check out the album's lead-off track. It packs a wallop.

The absolute best way to whiten your teeth is to visit a cosmetic dentist, such as one from the Bristol Dental Group, who can use a cutting-edge procedure to remove stains and bleach your teeth. While this approach might not work for all patients, many patients can have their teeth whitened in a way that looks natural. However, if you are not able to schedule an appointment for the dentist and if you do not have time to whiten your teeth with over-the-counter methods, there are other fast (though somewhat less efficient) ways that you can whiten your teeth.

During my first pregnancy, I spent a lot of time pushing pillows behind my back trying to find comfort. As the size of the baby grew, so did my discomfort. By the time she was born, I was more than ready to give birth. When I found out I was pregnant again, I was determined that I would not suffer through the same discomforts. I started researching ways to ease the symptoms of pregnancy, including back pain. I created this blog to help other expectant moms find remedies to deal with those symptoms that can be emotionally and physically draining.

Kiki Dee is an inspirational performer from the 70's. This song, if you listen to the lyrics, is actually quite challenging.
It allows women to go out and just enjoy themselves, without needing a reason. After all Girls Just Want to Have Fun!
You can see how fashion has changed, but are they coming round full circle?
One of the best things about this video is it is a live performance and it puts the X-factor to shame as the musicians clearly can play their own instruments.
The upbeat nature of this song can lift even the darkest moods. Avoid classifying it as Disco, it is a much better song and performance then what you currently hear in charts worldwiide.
