Admit it. You get a little excited when you post something that gets hundreds or thousands of likes, shares, and comments on Facebook. Is there a way to do this on a regular basis?
The short answer is yes. There are specific things that you can do to increase your engagement on Facebook. Keep in mind, Facebook is a social media platform. In order to increase engagement, you must be social. That means, you must connect with your audience.
Here are 5 Tips for Connecting with Your Facebook Audience:
Learn About Your Audience
Why are they there? What are their needs? What are their common issues/problems? How can you help them? If you can clearly answer these questions and use these answers to help determine the type of posts you're publishing on Facebook, then you can be sure that you will develop solid connections.
Speak with Your Audience
View this as a social event. The "fans" are your guests. If you're standing on the table shouting about how great you are or spend the entire time talking about yourself, your guests will leave.
Your audience wants to feel you're interested in them. Ask open-ended questions that nearly everyone can answer.
- Ask Yes/No questions – "Yes or No: There are many opportunities for homeschoolers in my area."
- Ask Fill-in-the-Blank Questions: "My family's favorite type of field trip is _______."
- Ask for tips or advice: "I'm looking to try a new history curriculum. What has worked for you?"
Be Personable and Genuine
People may appreciate the information you share but they also want to relate to you. Let your personality shine. Post a funny conversation you had with your child. Mention that you've had 4 cups of coffee and still haven't peeled yourself out of bed. Whatever is genuinely "you", let them see it. And don't just share the good parts, let them know you are a real person…with real struggles, just like them. Transparency is key.
Time Your Facebook Posts for Maximum Effect
Study your Facebook insights. Schedule your posts for optimal times. Here are some points to keep in mind{according to Sprout Social}:
- Traffic on Facebook is very low on the weekends – It's difficult to get interactions and click-throughs on Saturday and Sunday.
- Traffic is good between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. on weekdays – This is the best time to share.
- The highest click-through rates are between 12 p.m. and 3 p.m. – This is the prime time for posting anything you want your audience to "click".
- The highest peak in click-through rates is Wednesday & Thursday between 12 p.m. and 2 p.m.
- Note- these are industry standards, however, the peak times for your particular page may vary. Always check your own Facebook insights and plan accordingly.
Create a Facebook Strategy That Works for You
Having a solid Facebook strategy is key. I use and LOVE SmarterQueue for scheduling my Facebook posts. It is the best {and most cost effective} scheduling tool that I have found and the reach that I receive when using SmarterQueue is higher than any other scheduling tool that I've tried including the Facebook scheduler. The following is my Facebook posting schedule. Yours may look different.
- Post either a new post or an evergreen post at 9am Monday-Saturday.
- Post an engaging conversation starter at noon 7 days/week.
- Post a relevant, viral meme from another page at 1:30pm 7 days/week.
- Each day at 3pm I share one of the following: one of my own products, one of my own freebies, or a viral post from another page.
- Monday-Friday at 5pm and 9:30pm, I post an affiliate link.
- Post an evergreen or relevant seasonal post from my blog at 8:15pm 7 days/week.

Integrating 3D Printers Into Your Curriculum
By Scott Sterling When adopting a STEM approach or creating a makerspace, acquiring a 3D printer is high on the wish list. They tend to be the most popular efforts on education crowdfunding sites, especially as prices come down. The problem is that not too many people understand a 3D

Health ministers from across the country say they will establish by a December deadline the first targets for how long people must wait to be treated for such ailments as cancer and joint replacements. But it was unclear how extensive the list will be and how much it will help patients.The waiting benchmark is a complex idea, and I'll be interested to see how it plays out. But I mention it for a specific reason. I've mentioned before that US media coverage of the Canadian health care system is uniformly negative. I'm not just talking about right-wingnuts. Even in moderate venues like The New York Times or Time magazine, articles about Canada's system always have a negative slant. Is it any wonder, then, that most Americans have a distorted view of the system, based on myths and lies?
"How many [benchmarks] there are will depend on the evidence in a number of areas that we have," federal Health Minister Ujjal Dosanjh said yesterday after a weekend meeting with his provincial and territorial counterparts.
"If you ask me if we'll have 20 benchmarks in the area of cancer, I will tell you no, from what I know now, because it is a very sophisticated, complex area," he said. "But we will have some benchmarks in all areas."
Provincial and territorial ministers committed in a health accord signed last year to establish scientifically based benchmarks for waiting times in five treatment areas -- cancer care, heart treatment, diagnostic imaging, sight restoration and joint replacement -- by Dec. 31. In return, the federal government agreed to give them an extra $41-billion over 10 years.
Every American I've ever spoken to, except those who have researched the Canadian system on their own, believe Canadians wait dangerously long times for treatment and that anyone with any money travels to the US for health care. If I press for a source, it's a vague "I've heard...". They've heard. Yeah.
If the Canadian health care system was as bad as the American media reports, Canada would have shockingly high rates of untreated diabetes, heart disease and cancer, and millions of Canadians would be dropping dead while they waited for treatment. Somehow I think we'd hear about that.
Now, it would take an awful lot to convince me that a national single-payer system, no matter how problematic in reality, could ever be worse than the crazy non-system in the US. As Allan likes to say, there are 50 million Americans who would love to be waiting for an operation! (That is, the uninsured.) That number doesn't count the underinsured, and everyone who can't leave their dead-end jobs because they would lose their coverage, and all the folks paying increasingly gigantic amounts of their salary for insurance.
Suffice to say that I do not need convincing.
However, I understand there are problems - mainly caused, according to my progressive Canadian friends, by funding cutbacks that are now being restored. I've had uniformly good reports from wmtc readers, except for the serious shortage of doctors, especially in Ontario, and especially in the GTA. In another month, Allan and I will qualify for Ontario Health (Ontario being the only province without immediate coverage; there's a 90-day waiting period). Naturally I'm extremely curious to see how the system works in reality.
The recent focus on waiting benchmarks cuts to the heart of the most popular American myth about the Canadian system. On the Ontario Health website, there's a big section on wait times, including a page on wait time myths, and what is being done.
Part of me (the immature part!) feels like tracking down all the nut-jobs who've left comments here warning me that if I ever get sick, I'll die waiting for treatment, unless I come running back to TGNOTFOTE.

TRA and Prime Minister's Office launch Government Service Bus
GSB project currently connecting nine local and federal government entities
The Telecommunications Regulatory Authority's (TRA) and the Prime Minister's Office have launched the Government Service Bus (GSB) project, to connect federal government entities.
The GSB is a secure system which links local and federal government entities, to enable easier interchange of data and integration of systems.
Six federal entities and three local ones are connected in the GSB project at present, and the GSB is handling 15 government services.
The TRA started working on the GSB project at the end of July this year after the launch of the UAE Smart Cloud which is also a part of the UAE Government Network (FEDnet) programme.
Six federal entities that are participating in FEDnet - the Ministry of Interior, the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation, the Ministry of Health & Prevention, the Ministry of Community Development, the General Pension and Social Security Authority, and the Insurance Authority - joined the GSB project, followed by the Sheikh Zayed Housing Programme, the Abu Dhabi Systems and Information Centre and the Abu Dhabi Retirement Pension & Benefits Fund.
HE Hamad Obaid Al Mansoori, TRA Director General, said: "The launch of the GSB project is in response to the directives of HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, to complete the smart transformation process and link all government services to one another as part of the government's digital integration. In so doing, access to services becomes easier, faster and simpler - which is the essence of mGovernment - and achieve the goal of satisfaction and happiness for our customers. In the next phase, we will focus on working under the directives of our wise leadership to further incorporate connectivity, efficiency, satisfaction, quality and innovation in bringing happiness to customers."
HE Hessa Essa Buhumaid, Assistant Director General for Government Services and Leadership at the Prime Minister's and Office of the Future noted that the GSB project is an important step towards customer's happiness by facilitating services and enabling the entities to get the information and other documents via a secure database, resulting to easy and quick service."
"This project saves the customer's efforts and time through getting one or more services, and makes it a happy journey for the customer, which reflects positively on the government work and achieve the integrity among all entities, translate the efforts of smart transformation into reality. So all government entities should benefit from this opportunity and connect their data to this integrated system", Buhumaid added.
The TRA stated that use of the GSB has improved performance of ten key services from the government organisations involved, and will save around 7,460 work days from government by improving efficiency.

Hi everybody, I am back today with nail art using all the gorgeous polishes from the Heritage collection by Leighton Denny. This is another picture heavy blog post, and my swatches can be found here.
Let me just start by saying I think this is a fab collection and perfect for nail art, the colours in the collection compliment each other extremely well. Ok so lets get started.
With this gorgeous glass like shade I kept it simple and just added some Kiss Nail Crystal Decals which are all pre stuck into shapes and you just have to apply them to your nails. A very simple way to get pretty nail art, no need for nail glue :).
To this gorgeous blue base I added Aurora Nail Art striping tape from Sonailicious Boutique and I used the beautiful Shattered Waters powder flakes from Mitty.
I decided to create some stamped nails with Bundle Monster Polynesia Flower Buffet BM-XL109 Plate & White Knight stamping polish from MoYou London.
It's been a while since I did a taped mani like this, and I think I need some more practise as the lines are not as clean as I'd like but I still like the design.
I was missing a bit of Matte in my life :). So decided to do a matte design. I used my fave nail art stickers from Sonailicious Boutique from the mediterranean summer collection and I think the matte finish gives a really classy effect.
Ahhh these shattered powders from Mitty are fantastic, and you can apply them on top of normal polish too which is fab. I love the effect the gorgeous Shattered Butterflies gives on top of this pretty peach colour. The powders are really easy to work with as well. As you can see I loved the look of this and that's why I took so many shots.
For this final design I created some super simple dry brush nails using four of the six polishes from the Heritage collection. I also added some gold flakes I had left over from previous nail art. I really enjoyed creating nail art with this collection and am sure I will be using these gorgeous polishes to create more nail art soon.
The Leighton Denny Heritage collection can be purchased direct from their website.
Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed seeing the nail art I created xxx

For part of us went with you, the day God called you home.
You left us beautiful memories, your love is still our guide,
and though we cannot see you, you are always at our side.
Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same,
but as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again.

thanks a lot mam.

hi again!Henna I understand grandparents are fond of their grandchildren and they feel there is no cause of concern. it is advisable to consult a child psychologist as he would give behavioral therapy and help him channelize his energies in the right direction. Yes with years u might notice just a slight improvement but inattentiveness and concentration might have to be worked upon with the help of an expert or the problem at hand might worsen. hope this helps!
| Sep 06, 2016
yes he has almost oll these symptoms.... thanks I will concern. BT truely speaking his grandmother is saying he is by nature naughty .... by the time he will be OK .no need to worry. I m confused wat to do... should I start medication or nt....
| Sep 06, 2016
hi Heena khosla! please look for other signs and symptoms such as child is fidgety, blurts out answer even before q is finished, not ready to take turns, can't sit still for even few minutes, can't concentrate,has incomplete assignments, will keep moving his leg or hands etc. if u notice all or most ofthese traits in his behavior often, it is advisable to visit a child psychologist or an expert who will be able to guide u with this. Heena this is not something child is doing wilfully. with the help of an expert u will be able to channelize his energies in the right direction. hope this helps!!

"Calder Gouaches: The Art of Alexander Calder," Long Beach Museum of Art, 1970, p. 6, p. 8 illustrated in color.
Calder Gouaches-Art of Alexander Calder Catalog
Although born in 1898 to a family of artists, Alexander Calder's legacy is rooted in purposefully calculated, geometric works of art and sculpture. His interest in controlled, mechanical creation was apparent from a young age, and eventually led him to acquire a degree in engineering from Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken, New Jersey. After graduating in 1919, he worked a number of jobs, such as draftsman for a power company, adviser at a lumber trade magazine, and fireman.[1] Two years later, he moved to New York and enrolled as a student at the Art Students' League. While studying here, he became acquainted with Ash Can School artists John Sloan and George Luks, who influenced Calder's decision to take his next job as an illustrator for the National Police Gazette.
Calder's experience as an illustrator was especially influential for the path of his future artistic career. This job led him to discover the Ringling Brother's and Barnum and Bailey Circus, from which he derived his "Miniature Circus," a small-scale model directly representative of the animation and ingenuity of his later works, specifically his gouaches.
In 1926, Calder moved to France, where he continued to hone his ideology as an artist. His visit to the studio of De Stijl artist Piet Mondrian in 1930 was particularly significant, as it was here that he realized his desire to use inert, geometric shapes and primary colors.
The Present Work
The impact of this experience was still present twenty years later, when he executed the gouache Spotted Orb and Pyramids in 1956. At this time he was living between Paris and New York, though primarily associating himself with European cubist and surrealist artists, such as Yves Tanguay and André Masson. The color palette consists of red, yellow, blue and green, and the forms are immobile and geometric. According to Wahneta T. Robinson, curator of the Long Beach Museum of Art, the subject and title of this work are derived from an experience that Calder had two years prior to its completion. While on a return flight from a trip to India, the pilot decided to circle the pyramids while flying over Egypt.[2] He later he recalled these images, and applied his interpretation to create this work.
This work appears to be among the earliest of Calder's use of pyramids as a subject in his gouaches. Many comparable works of pyramids—some with orbs– were executed during the 1970s, though none include this particular arrangement of pyramids, orbs, and color. The use of blue tinged with yellow to create one mild, and one stronger plane of green is an uncommon feature among his pyramid gouaches; most incorporate exclusively the primary colors, yellow, red, and blue. In addition, the spotted orb contrasts with the clean geometric lines of the blocked pyramids to create a striking image.
This work was lent by Perls Galleries in 1970 for a traveling exhibition titled Calder Gouaches, organized by the Long Beach Museum of Art. Perls Galleries represented Calder from 1955 to 1976. During the tour, it was shown at Long Beach Museum of Art, Fine Arts Gallery of San Diego, and Phoenix Art Museum. The present work is illustrated in color ( no. 2 ) in the printed catalogue, Calder Gouaches: The Art of Alexander Calder, which accompanied the exhibition.
Inscriptions: Two labels from the Fine Arts Gallery of San Diego on the verso, attached to a section of the cardboard preserved from the (probably) original backboard with "Summer Show" typed twice. Affixed to these labels are two labels from the Esther Robles Gallery, one with the typed inscription ALEXANDER CALDER / SPOTTED ORB & PYRAMIDS / GOUACHE / 29 ½'' X 41 ¾'' / 1956

Condition: Some discoloration overall (slightly yellow). When the work arrived at Leigh Keno's home via FedEx on Dec.13 with the glass broken. Shards of glass from the frame had accumulated at the bottom of the box causing multiple creases along approx. 75% of the bottom edge. The broken glass also created approximately a dozen minute specs of paint loss at the bottom of the piece, especially the lower right pyramid. Two small pieces of tape, previously used to secure the work at upper left and upper right corners have bled through to the front. From the previous mat, there is a border of light discoloration along the outer edge of the entire work. Please see detail photos which show the aforementioned condition issues.
*Should Keno Auctions own any lot in whole or in part or have a financial interest in any lot equivalent to an ownership interest, the catalogue will clearly identify any such property with a * symbol.

The leasing market shifted from a fast growing to a fierce competition with a constant struggle of the companies to bring new products and strictly control their expenses. In such conditions, for a business to be more profitable, to have a fast and organizational ability are key words. An IT solution, like Charisma, designed and developed by TotalSoft can bring to a company increased efficiency and added value that makes the difference between competitors.

Maslenitsa: Eastern Slavic Folk HolidayMaslenitsa, also known as Butter Week, Crepe week, or Cheesefare Week is celebrated during the last week before Lent—the eighth week before Eastern Orthodox Pascha (Easter). Although the Orthodox Lent begins on a Monday instead of a Wednesday, Maslenitsa corresponds to the Western Christian Carnival. This year it is held mid-February.
With origins in both pagan and Christian traditions it is – in Slavic mythology - a celebration of the imminent end of the winter.
During this week in Christianity meat is already forbidden to Orthodox Christians. Only milk, cheese and other dairy products are permitted, hence the name "Cheese-fare week".
As in Western Christianity parties, secular music, dancing and other distractions from the spiritual life are prohibited during Lent. So Maslenitsa is a last chance to partake of dairy products and those social activities that are not appropriate during the more prayerful, sober and introspective Lenten season.
The popular crepes and pancakes served at this time are made from butter, eggs and milk.
Community activities include snowball fights and sledding. In some regions, each day of Maslenitsa had its traditional activity: one day for sleigh-riding, another for the sons-in-law to visit their parents-in-law, another day for visiting the godparents, etc.
Want to try your hand at making the popular Blini (pancakes)?
Here are some recipes:

In 2013, texting while driving became illegal in Virginia, and with good reason. Texting while driving is highly dangerous and can cause devastating car collisions. The new texting and driving law is a much-needed statute that protects public safety on roadways. The law is codified as Virginia Code Section 46.2-1078.1 (https://vacode.org/46.2-1078.
That said, from a criminal defense perspective, the law somewhat ambiguous.
What does "Lawfully Parked" or Stopped mean?
According to Section (B)(2), you are allowed to operate a cell phone when "lawfully parked or stopped." What is lawfully stopped according to a Virginia court? Lawfully stopped could include situations like waiting at a stop light or stop sign. Because the law isn't clearly defined, we are only able to guess what the law makers intended.
If legally stopped is meant to include drivers at stop lights, this creates a new issue. Drivers who are distracted by cell phones while waiting at traffic lights are not attentive to the signals. They may miss a green light and block the cars behind them.
What should you do? Put away the phone!
This is a good reason drivers need to put away their phones entirely while driving. Since "lawfully stopped or parked" is not clearly defined, it would be safest to presume that no driver should use their phone unless their car is parked. If you are actively operating a vehicle, keep your phone away.

"Caring for ourselves is like caring for the planet"
By David Suzuki and Faisal Moola
Ecosystems come in all shapes and sizes, often without distinct boundaries. And what happens in one ecosystem affects other ecosystems.
We can even consider the human body as an ecosystem, or perhaps more correctly as a number of interrelated ecosystems. According to a recent article in the scientific journal Nature, "The human body is one of the most important ecological study sites of the coming decade."
The article's author, David A. Relman, chief of infectious diseases at Veterans Affairs Palo Alto Health Care System in California, writes: "Humans depend on the microbial communities that colonize them for a surprising suite of benefits. These include: extracting energy from food, educating the immune system and protection from pathogens. Yet, despite the recent attention to this indigenous microbiota, we are relatively ignorant of what our 'extended self' comprises or how it works."
If we didn't have microbes, which are mainly bacteria, living in and on us, we wouldn't be able to digest our food or breathe properly, and we'd be more vulnerable to numerous types of disease and infection. Scientists estimate that our bodies contain 10 times as many bacteria as human cells, numbering around 100 trillion, and that the human gut alone contains 500 to 1,000 species of bacteria.
The microbes that help our body function properly are referred to as "normal flora" or "microbiota". But, like all ecosystems, our body's ecosystems can be disrupted. If we pollute our bodies, either intentionally or unintentionally, the normal flora can become overwhelmed to the point that they don't function as well as they should. Sometimes this may result simply in a case of upset stomach or indigestion, but often, especially if the pollution is ongoing, it can result in serious disease and death.
What we expose our bodies and the microbes within them to can also have unintended consequences. Although antibiotics have offered a lot of benefits to human health, we're now seeing that decades of their use, often as "growth promoters" in feed for chickens, hogs, and cows, is leading to new illnesses and infections as sometimes-harmful bacteria evolve to be resistant to antibiotics and to our own microbial defences.
The more we learn about the microbial communities in our own bodies, the more we see that a balance must be maintained, for our own sake and for the sake of our human communities. According to New York microbiology professor Martin J. Blaser, "evolution has selected for those microbial populations that maintain and increase the fitness of both individual hosts and the group as a whole."
If we want our own bodies to be healthy, we must ensure that we have access to wholesome food, clean water, and good air. And we should avoid exposing ourselves to anything that would negatively affect the health of our own cells or the microbes that keep those cells healthy.
This is really no different than what happens in all ecosystems. If we put too much garbage and pollution in to the air, water, or ground, we upset the balance created by all the organisms and natural cycles in the environment. Our planet itself has a lot of similarities to the human body. Water circulates around and through the Earth in a complex hydrological cycle, regulating temperature and keeping plants and animals alive, just as blood circulates through our bodies. The natural organisms of the Earth's ecosystems, like the microbes in our bodies, also offer numerous services that we rely on to survive and be healthy.
And for both the human body and the Earth, carbon is an essential element. Carbon is the second most abundant element in the human body, after oxygen, and it also cycles through the Earth, its inhabitants, and its atmosphere. Normally, carbon is absorbed from the atmosphere though photosynthesis and is put back through respiration and decay. But when we upset the balance by cutting down too many of the plants or trees that absorb the carbon and by burning fuels that put too much carbon back into the atmosphere, we put the Earth's health, and thus the health of all of us, at risk.
We must learn to treat the Earth as we would treat ourselves. After all, we are part of nature, and if we don't look after its health, we aren't looking after our own health.
My Comments:
– I think this is a great article that examines another perspective to view approach the way we should view and treat our environment. The author talks about how it is important to recognize and understand that microbes play an important part in the environment as well as inside the human body. Therefore, the way we take care of our bodies is the same way we should be taking care of the environment.
– evident is also an intercorrelating relationship happens between the health of our bodies and the health of the environment: We need a healthy environment to be healthy ourselves
– overall this is a good perspective to look at; however, I think it would make for a stronger case if it were to give practical ways and tips to live out this paradigm
– also, this article is strictly addressed to people who live in economically stable environments. Many people in the third world countries don't even have the bare necessities for survival…how can they be thinking about cleaning the environment when they struggle to survive?
Thanks for reading!

Radio-controlled Traxxas XO-1 automodel: 100 km/h in 2,3 seconds and iPhone as the race
Say that men do not mature, the price of their toys changes only, meaning the real car, instead of toy, good hours, phone, etc. The veracious statement, but happens that toys will be transformed directly, without changing the essence. For example, there are such pieces, as radio-controlled automodels. Actually very close copies of unique cars, but on the scale of 1/18, 1/10, 1/8, 1/5, plus are also less widespread options. Such toys can include an internal combustion engine (fuel on the basis of methanol) or the electromotor is used and are capable to be dispersed till huge speeds, as for radio-controlled моделек. There are even international competitions to a role such here "machines". One of better known developers of similar "toys" decided to adapt iPhone/iPod touch for work with it, and in the XO-1 model this task is solved.
The machine left notable. It is completed with the electric motor, all running gear and critical details to loading are executed from metal, as well as the car case (aluminum). To 100 km/h it is dispersed in 2,3 seconds, and the highest speed in 160 km/h develops in 4,92 seconds.
The complete radio controler is more interesting. It is capable to cooperate with iPhone or iPod touch, on which the dashboard is deduced own sort (speed, number of rpm at the motor, temperature, a voltage), plus in it remains information on race and car indicators in process.
Not including that, by means of iГаджета sensitivity of the controler is adjusted and at desire it is possible to keep some schemes of management then to choose them as pressing of pair of buttons.
It should be noted that Traxxas XO-1 is far not the champion, plus enthusiasts usually before competitions тюнингуют own iron favourites and use from time to time the acquired model in its primordial form. So, in 2009 Nick Keyes (Nic Case) dispersed the automodel to 260 km/h. After all, among serial samples the novelty is one of the best.
By the way, this pleasure not from the cheap. Cost of Traxxas XO-1 makes $1100, and to get it it will be possible, since December 30 of this year (a gift under a fir-tree to not maturing man). On December 20 in App Store there will be a Traxxas Link appendix for use together with iГаджета toy. [The Verge]

Transitional housing provides people with a temporary place to live as they attempt to get back on their feet or make a major transition in their lives. It can be used for a variety of different populations such as homeless people, recently released prisoners, drug abusers or even troubled teens. Anyone has the opportunity to provide housing assistance to populations in need by learning how to start transitional housing.
Determine the population you serve. Review what needs exist in your community for transitional housing, and use your needs assessment to help you in deciding what population to serve with your program. Network and discuss your intentions with community and business leaders to ensure you have community support to move forward with your plan to start transitional housing.
Establish a board of directors. Find volunteers willing to donate their time to assist you in starting transitional housing and serving a particular need in your community. Ask people from different segments of the city as well as different businesses and industries. The more diverse group you have as a board of directors, the more support and funding you can obtain since each person can pull resources from their own network and niche in the community.
Register as a nonprofit organization. Visit the website of the Internal Revenue Service to review the regulations and requirements for becoming a nonprofit organization. Download and complete any forms to register as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization as well as the forms from the state government to be tax exempt.
Obtain funding. Network with experienced grant writers and directors of other nonprofits focused on providing transitional housing to learn of grant opportunities that exist to start a temporary housing program. For example, the U.S. Department of Justice provides grant funding to transitional housing programs for domestic or sexual abuse victims while the Michigan Housing Development Authority gives grant funding to transitional housing programs in the state. Conduct fundraisers and seek out donations from businesses, foundations and private individuals. Network with city leaders as well as employees of the United Way, since both groups may be able to allocate a portion of their funding for your program.
Find a location. Learn if an individual or business has a vacant house they are willing to donate to your organization to establish as a transitional home. If not, seek out a residential property you can purchase and remodel to fit the needs of your specific program and the number of participants you have. Prior to purchasing a home, conduct a neighborhood survey of the area of the city where you want your transitional housing program to be located. Review the surveys to learn whether support exists in that specific area for the transitional home, and consider alternative locations if residents are adamantly opposed.
Set the housing rules. Meet with the board of directors and set the criteria for admission to the transitional housing program. Create a set of rules residents in the house must obey to remain living there, and have procedures in place for addressing problems and removing residents who fail to follow the rules.
Develop support services. Determine what support services the population you serve needs to be successful in transitioning from your program to a permanent home. Many need assistance in finding employment to be able to afford a place to live while others need personal counseling to be self sufficient. Find individuals, other nonprofits or government agencies in the community willing to help your program participants by providing these services.
Hire staff or get volunteers. Provide around the clock supervision for the transitional housing program by hiring staff members or seeking out volunteers from the community. Train each staff member and volunteer on how to interact with participants as well as what to do in emergency situations. Try to keep at least two staff members or volunteers working at the same time since this provides more security and stability when working with a transitional population which may be violate.
Transitional housing provides people with a temporary place to live as they attempt to get back on their feet or make a major transition in their lives. It can be used for a variety of different populations such as homeless people, recently released prisoners, drug abusers or even troubled teens.

VIA Create Digital Music:
Sometimes, all you need is one really good reverb with editable parameters. TC Electronic has done some really lovely reverb work, and they're currently giving away one of their plug-ins, for FREE!
Yes, the plug-in is free through Wednesday, and then costs US$79 after that.
What you get from the M30:
* VST, AU compatibility on Windows and Mac
* Hall algorithm (no Room or Plate, though – for that,
you need the M40 which ships with TC's audio interfaces)
* Editable parameters for pre-delay, decay, "hi color," and the requisite wet/dry mix
It's nothing revolutionary, but I'm always game for a nice Hall algorithm. Interestingly, TC has worked out a way to port their native DSP code from hardware to computer-native code using something they call AlgoFlex.

We are a family business established many moons ago with one small shop and a range of just 23 tiles. We now have 13 large format stores all over the North Island and our range now exceeds 1000 tiles from Italian, Spanish and Asian manufacturers.
In 2017 we became the first New Zealand Tile business to gain Consumer Trusted Accreditation. The principles of the Consumer Trusted concept is to give consumers peace of mind they are dealing with a market leader that puts the consumer first, something our team strive to achieve and constantly improve on.
Ceramic and porcelain tiles are a fantastic product that, if correctly selected and installed, should last indefinitely. As a consequence, selecting such a permanent product is a little daunting for a lot of people. Getting it wrong is not easy or cheap to correct. Similarly fear of becoming outdated and unfashionable can also lead to over cautious colour and design selections at the expense of a design you truly loved.
In order to provide a smoother tile selection process and reassurance for your ultimate decision-making, we have put together a simple sequence of tips to consider when selecting tiles.Read More

DAVIS (CBS13) — The demand for drought-resistant plants has never been higher as California is in the fourth year of its drought.
At the UC Davis Arboretum Teaching Nursery, CBS13's tour guide Ellen Zagory, the director of public horticulture, guides us through the world of drought-tolerant plants.
Most drought-tolerant plants only need to be watered every two to three weeks, whether it's a decorative desert spoon or a Spanish lavender beauty. The colors pop in purple, yellow and red.
Zagory says drought-resistant plants aren't much more costly, with those that are higher in price by another dollar or so.
The arboretum is having a one-day public sale from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Well, No freakin' kidding!
This is a world wide issue to be sure. The issue is how to stop these elected oligarchs. Defeat their single minded march to a new world order and economic ruin. Climate control through the bankruptcy of every nation on Earth will lead to one inescapable end. . . War!
I propose the peoples of this Earth, in all nations must put an end to this madness. Stop this mindless march to destruction. Even in the face of recently revealed evidence that there is no Global Warming, that in fact it is perhaps the greatest hoax perpetrated on the human species since the beginning of recorded history, the Oligarchs continue in their senseless and devastating pursuit of a goal that is based in half truths, and bald faced, outright lies. Unabated and seemingly deaf to the desire or needs of their respective peoples.
I say rise up and remove these people from power. Use the political power you are given by the vote. Send them packing. Failing that, I leave it up to you how you deal with this corrosive plan about to be debated in Copenhagen. If they are allowed to put their devious plan into action, it will mean the enslavement of the human race.
Global warming science and politics make strange bedfellows at first but on closer inspection, politics is the new enforcement arm of the global warming alarmists. Global warming is far from a science, much akin to a religious cult now and that is the play book they are using.
Climate change: this is the worst
scientific scandal of our generation
Our hopelessly compromised scientific establishment cannot be allowed to get away with the Climategate whitewash, says Christopher Booker.

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
The Late Evan J. Kemp, Jr. was named Chairman of the U.S. Employment Opportunity Commission by President George H.W. Bush on March 8, 1990. He was first nominated as an EEOC commissioner by President Reagan in 1987, and was unanimously confirmed by the Senate that year. Chairman Kemp came to the EEOC as one of the nation's leading advocates for persons with disabilities. During his first two and a half years, then-Commissioner Kemp played a major role in promoting credible and effective enforcement of the rights of all individuals under the equal employment laws EEOC enforces. As a member of the Bush Administration, Chairman Kemp worked closely with the White House in its consideration and ultimate endorsement of ADA. Before joining the EEOC, Chairman Kemp was selected to head the Ralph Nader sponsored Disability Rights Center, where he was a tireless spokesperson for the civil rights of people with disabilities. In his efforts to educate national policy makers on the importance of equal opportunity and self-determination for people with disabilities, Chairman Kemp worked to build coalitions with groups representing racial and ethnic minorities, women, and older persons working toward similar goals.

They aim to introduce customers to new brands and products, including some that are niche, luxury, and eco-friendly. It's a great way to discover new beauty faves!
This month's box from Beauty Box 5 contained some products that are perfect for an end of summer pick-me-up!
|Beauty Box 5 Review: August 2014
LA Fresh - Travel Lite Oil-Free Makeup Remover Wipes
Nanacoco - Lip Gloss in "Lovely"
Pur~Lisse - Pur~Protect Sunscreen SPF 30
Style Essentials - Nail Polish from "Touch of Teal" Collection
|Beauty Box 5 Review: August 2014
- Novex - Brazilian Keratin Deep Hair Care Cream - This deep conditioning treatment is made to revive and revitalize your dry and damaged hair (a must-need for summer!). After shampooing, apply it like your regular conditioner and leave it on for 15-25 minutes. I'm impatient and left it on for 10, but it still worked really well. When I blow-dried my hair, I noticed it was smoother and looked a little straighter too.
- LA Fresh - Travel Lite Oil-Free Makeup Remover Wipes - I went to a wedding last weekend and these were extremely helpful when it came to taking my makeup at the end of the night. They removed my normally stubborn eyeliner and mascara, and even my lipstick! I liked the scent, and the formula is non-sticky and non-drying. It's designed for traveling and is the perfect size to bring along on short trips (and it's cheap too!). Check out my 'before' and 'after' photos below.
- Pur~Lisse - Pur~Protect Sunscreen SPF 30 - I'm a huge fan of Pur~Lisse products! They're a little on the pricey side, but they work really well on my combination/dry skin. This sunscreen is moisturizing without being greasy or heavy, and it absorbs fast too (perfect for applying under makeup when it's hot outside).
- Style Essentials - Nail Polish from "Touch of Teal" Collection - This nail polish is a very pretty iridescent hexagonal glitter. I used it as a topcoat over a pastel purple polish and the result was a subtle shimmer that added just the right amount of refined sparkle with just one coat. I can't wait to really pack on the layers next time--I feel like it'll be great for a glitter ombre. See below.
- Nanacoco - Lip Gloss in "Lovely" - I was a little nervous to try this lip gloss because the shade looked very bright in the container (I love saturated reds and corals, but pinks can be tricky on me), but not to worry because this added a sheer wash of pink that was surprisingly flattering and wearable. See below.

If the doors of perception were cleansed every thing would appear to man as it is, infinite.
–Blake, The Marriage of Heaven and Hell, 14
As the title says, this biography is amply illustrated, with black-and-white photos on nearly every page of Weill, his friends and family, programs and posters, and productions. It is almost a scrapbook.
The industriousness of the man is clear. From his early years in Dessau, he was dedicated to music. Weill's father was a cantor. In 1920, Weill went to Berlin and studied with Busoni, where he composed symphonies and other pieces in the traditional classical way. He met the dancer Karoline Blamauer in 1924. Her stage name was Lotte Lenya.
Around this same time, Weill began his collaborations with Bertolt Brecht, out of which came Weill's most famous pieces, "The Alabama Song" (from The Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny) and "Die Moritat von Mackie Messer," otherwise known as "Mack the Knife," from Die Dreigrochenoper.
The new powers classified Weill's works as degenerate, and he moved on to Paris and Vienna, before sailing to the U.S. in 1935 with his second wife, Lenya (they had divorced and then remarried). He devoted himself thereafter to musical theater on Broadway. The author sympathizes with Weill's view that opera in the U.S. consisted of "'museum-piece' reproductions of European works and performance styles." Weill also worked on film scores briefly. His collaborators on Broadway included Ira Gershwin, Moss Hart, and Langston Hughes (the latter for Street Scene, maybe Weill's most successful work from his American period). Lenya continued to perform in his shows.
Weill had no interest in returning to Germany and left his Germanness behind when he crossed the border. His Jewishness stayed with him. In March 1943, with Ben Hecht, he put on a "pageant play," We Will Never Die, a protest against the persecution of the Jewish people. There is a great photo of Weill and Maxwell Anderson looking out for enemy planes. Weill was a volunteer Air Warden with the U.S. Army's Aircraft Warning Service.
One is impressed at the end by his industriousness and dedication to popular music. His shows dating from his move to the U.S. haven't really lasted, but how many shows from the 1930s and 1940s are still performed or remembered now by many?
Unlike Brecht, he stayed in the U.S. and did not return to Germany. The difference between the two men in that respect is that Brecht's religion won out in the newly created GDR. Weill's and Lenya's parents made a new home in Israel. He wrote to his parents after the war, "I do not believe that in all of human history any nation has experienced as terrible a defeat as Germany–or that any people has deserved humiliation as much as these barbarians who have taken it upon themselves to destroy everything good and decent that people have achieved over millennia."
Weill had a heart attack in 1950 and is buried in Haverstraw, just outside of New York City. Lenya was buried there after her death in 1981. They had no children.
