Happy Fakesgiving!
We've been living in Thanksgiving limbo since we got married. Luke and I are both lucky enough to have our families living within 25 miles of us, so there is no travel drama. The bad thing is that we both have traditions we want to uphold with each family, so the past few years have been a clusterturducken of trying to please everyone, all the time, without really making our own traditions. This year, the added layer of complication was that I basically can't eat anything anyone else has ever looked at, thought about looking at, breathed near ... you get the picture. As we headed into November, I was already tired. Stressed. And not looking forward to the FOX-reality nightmare that is Survivor: Thanksgiving Island. I just wanted to get it over with.
But then? Epiphany.
What if we celebrated Thanksgiving on Wednesday with our own meal? It would mean leftovers for me to pack up and take to family Thanksgiving, as well as establishing a tradition for the two of us. Plus, I needed to practice getting a holiday meal on the table, since we are hosting Christmas this year. Win-win situation. Thus, Fakesgiving was born.
I took half the day off on Wednesday, cranked some tunage and donned my delightfully old-fashioned apron. Then the kitchen calisthenics began. In case you hadn't picked up on it from previous posts, I like to cook ... ish. I can handle small meals, but this was the biggest project I'd ever tackled. From scratch. By myself.
Also, I hate following recipes. So that sort of made things interesting. But after several hours, a glass or two of pre-dinner wine and more Taylor Swift than I should admit to listening to, I had this:
I roasted a turkey breast (found at Aldi, their Kirkwood Farms brand, which I called and validated was gluten free, and sooooo much cheaper than anywhere else), made stuffing (sort of following this GlutenFreeda recipe, but subbing out some of the butter and using more herbage), mashed potatoes, Sweet Ali's dinner rolls and, my piece de resistance, GRAVY. Luke has mad cranberry skills, so he whipped up a whole-cranberry relish that I could have eaten for days. We wined, we dined, we watched Charlie Brown Thanksgiving. And it was so incredibly nice to have a tradition for the two of us, something I could see us doing again in the future.
At the risk of letting the puppies and rainbows just explode forth out of my brain, I have to say, this worked out to be a perfect solution. It might not be an option for everyone, but I am choosing right now to take a stand. You may take my Pop-Tarts, celiac disease, but you'll never take my Thanksgiving.

I never thought to look in Aldi for GF foods. I will def check them out this weekend!! :0) xoxoReplyDelete
Good for you for persevering and putting together a big meal! I know, it's rough when you first have to cook for a crowd, but once you get your timing down, it's a breeze. Prepping the day before really helps with that, too, since you'll be less stressed if you've got the veggies prepped and ready to be cooked (or already cooked and just needing to be heated through!) and your desserts already made.ReplyDelete
I'm really impressed by how many items at ALDI are clearly marked Gluten Free, Lactose Free, etc. It's nice that they're coming around.ReplyDelete
I read on your blog that you're from the chicagoland area, well if you haven't already been you need to check out Sweet Ali's Gluten Free Bakery in Hinsdale. I got my stuffing there for thanksgiving and it was amazing. They also have tons of other goodies that are to die for. It's life changing. Also, Da Lucianos is the best place ever. They have a huge Gluten Free menu and they have all foods you normally don't get to eat. On my Birthday Last year I called a week a head to request a Deep Dish Pizza. They made me a gluten free deep dish pizza and it tasted like the real thing. Its seriously the Best Gluten Free place ever. Check it out! - its in river grove which isn't too too far from the city.ReplyDelete

Unlike the common stereotypical notion, men in the 21st century take their dressing seriously. It is beyond doubt, however, that fashion remains to be one of the topics that most men will least prefer to indulge in. Men are, however, still dependent on their female counterparts for approval on whether they have it right in the way they are dressed.
The differences between a man's shirt and a woman's shirt can be helpful in informing you why the man's shirt has buttons on the right, and a woman's shirt has buttons on the left. The same notion is held in the making of zippers for jackets. Besides knowing this, there are other things that a man ought to know when buying a shirt for their own use
Knowing Your Measurements
More often than not, men will find themselves shopping for a shirt in a clothes store than buying it out from a tailor. This is one of the reasons why most of the men wear shirts that do not fit them well enough. The perfect fit for a shirt should be well fitted on your body, with minimal excessive material left. The shirts needs to be tight, but the tight hold should be enough to allow for your comfortable movement in one way or another.
Shoulder seams should fit properly, and should not extend past the shoulder. The seams should perfectly hug your shoulders, such that you will not have them going down the arm's length.
The sleeve of your shirt should also be comfortably extending to, and not beyond, your wrist. A great shirt does not form billows by piling below the wrist, and neither is it too short to reach the wrist.
Finer Details
It is important to have the go to shirt, but almost all men have a shirt that looks more out of the norm for themselves. The shirt may have some finer details, and some detailed additional features in design..
Some shirts have been created with pleats, which hold extra fabric to allow some more room for the wearer in case it is required. Pleats can be a good bonus for a prolonged life time with your shirt, but the real deal is that the pleat may look bad if it billows out. Trying the shirt beforehand would be much better an option in the first place.
Paying Attention to the Collar
Collars come in different styles, and they can be cutaways, to English spreads. The choice for a specific collar type can be overwhelming since there are many collar styles, but finding a collar that is not as trendy or as conservative from Sumisura would prove confusing to you. If you are not sure of what type to pick, a semi-spread will always be the better option.
The fitting of the collar should be in a way that you can put a finger comfortably, in between the shirt and the neck. A collar should not dig into your neck or fit loosely around your neck.
The choice of fabric, if well understood, is determined by your style. Also, having a heavy fabric would be bad for summer. Though there are different types of fabric, you should not get caught up in trying to master the yarn numbers. Rather, yarn numbers are meant to help you understand the quality of the shirt, and a high quality shirt has a high yarn number.
In conclusion, men should be sure of the colors they want to dress in. Most men will opt for solid colors. If the choice for color is confusing, a solid white or blue will always work out well for you.

Plus I'm taking a trip with my mom and sisters to California to see my uncle and his family. It's been a good 6 years since we've seen them and about ten years since we've visited them in California. I'm really excited about the time we will get to spend with them, and I can only imagine all the fun we are going to have!
3. My transmission in my car is going to fixed!!!!! You guys don't understand; this is the biggest deal EVER!!! I'm SO excited! Yeah, I know, that sounds like such an adult thing to say, but I've been living with a steadily dying transmission for the past 3 years. I've been babying it, coddling it, and praying to the car gods that it would just hold out till the holidays. So let's hope that it will last till about the 18th or 19th and then I'll be golden.
I am often asked the question, 'How can the masses permit themselves to be exploited by the few?' The answer is 'By being persuaded to identify with [the few].'

(I heard this quote in my Literary Theory and Criticism class)
He lifted her up onto the table so that her face was level with his, and as they kissed it seemed that words were hiding in the air around them, that there were invisible creatures that feathered against her and Arin, they nudged, and buzzed, and tugged.
Speak, they said.
Speak, the kiss answered.

Are you looking to sell your home and wondering what is required to achieve municipal compliance? Are you looking to tear down and get permits to build and develop a new home? Are you looking to legalize an existing or new basement suite? These are important questions that require clear answers before homeowners and homebuilders proceed with a development or acceptance of an offer to purchase. Sellers, upon listing their property, should ask their REALTOR® for ideas and techniques to proactively address potential issues that may arise through the course of their property sale.
Taking the City of Edmonton as an example (all municipalities are different), you can open the first link below to review a document entitled "Mature Neighborhood Overlay Information Package: Regulations for Yards, Access, Design, and Height Requirements" dated June 2006. The second link contains "Secondary Suite Safety Standards" dated December 2007. In these packages, Sellers and homebuilders can refer for help to determine possible answers to the following questions (note: regulations are subject to change as time progresses, in relation to the current Alberta Building Code. After knowing the property zoning and allowable land usages (ask your REALTOR® if you need this information), Sellers and homebuilders should contact the planning and development department at the City of Edmonton or other municipality for current updates, corrections, and / or interpretations of regulations for permits and compliance):
< Open Link to View City of Edmonton - June 2006: 'Regulations for Yards, Access, Design, & Height Requirements' >
< Open Link to View City of Edmonton - December 2007: 'Secondary Suite Safety Standards' >
(1). Is the minimum setback distance for the front yard of your property in compliance?
(2). Is the front porch, verandah, and deck dimensions / locations of your property in compliance?
(3). Is the minimum setback distance for the side yard(s) of your property in compliance?
(4). Is the vehicular access (or accesses) for your property in compliance?
(5). Is your lot on a corner which makes different regulations applicable vs. standard regular lots?
(6). Is your garage, including width, in compliance considering the size of lot for your property?
(7). Are the window locations of your property in compliance considering the building height?
(8). Are the eavestrough overhangs for your property in compliance?
(9). Are all structures, decks, fencing, etc. locations and elevations in compliance?
(10). Will your property be subject to landscaping regulations to achieve compliance?
(11). For a secondary suite, does your ceiling height meet the minimum requirement?
(12). For a secondary suite, is there a direct exit to the outdoors?
(13). For a secondary suite, does each bedroom have at least one window that is properly-sized, constructed, and unobstructed in both directions for emergency escape during a fire?
(14). For a secondary suite, is there adequate fire protection installed for all ceilings, walls, and exits?
(15). For a secondary suite, have the smoke alarms been hard-wired and interconnected and is there recently inspected fire extinguishers, smoke detectors, and carbon monoxide detectors?
(16). For a secondary suite, have any gas-fired water heaters and furnaces been enclosed in a room with fire-protected walls?
(17). For a secondary suite (new permit), are there independent heating and ventilation systems?
(18). For a secondary suite (new permit), are all aspects of the current Alberta Building Code satisfied?
(19). For a secondary suite, is there a minimum 360 sq. m. lot size and adequate parking available?
(20). For a secondary suite, are there no more than two suites total for any property that is not legally allowed (by zoning) for use as a four-plex or apartment building?
Note the application date of a permit or compliance is important because that defines the applicable regulations. If a building or development permit (e.g. for a garage, deck, or basement suite) was not ordered and obtained at the time it was built when regulations were less rigorous, often the municipality will not grandfather in past regulations to help an owner be in compliance with current rules that might be more restrictive. Exceptions to grandfathering may be made in cases where an older structure was built in compliance with the old zoning and prior to the property being rezoned to a more rigorous zoning. In those cases the municipality may allow the older structure to remain but if the property owner were to tear down and rebuild they would have to follow current zoning and building codes as they would apply.
If a valid Real Property Report (RPR) and Compliance cannot be located, Sellers (after listing with their REALTOR®) are advised to contact a reputable surveyor as soon as possible to conduct a survey and then arrange to submit to the municipality (e.g. City of Edmonton or County office) for compliance. If a secondary suite is in place that has not been legalized, Sellers may wish to contact a reputable certified home inspector to find out 'what changes must be made to meet the current Alberta Building Code' to know what a prudent Buyer may expect. [Notes: (a). Most real estate lawyers, for a fee, can handle the RPR service for Sellers; (b). Except in a very small quantity of property sales, Sellers are 100% responsible for achieving compliance minimum 10 days prior to completion date (turnover) of their property or risk facing a Buyer holdback until complete.]
In summary, following municipal building codes is important because municipalities maintain the power to force property owners to immediately: (a). Order late building and development permits and possibly pay large fines; (b). Remove or change any component of a structure or other fixed attached good in whole or in part that does not match current regulations; and (c). Obtain documents such as RPR and Compliance, encroachment agreements, etc. If the Seller is in the midst of turning over a property to a Buyer, delays in dealing with these matters can be costly and holdbacks may be initiated until compliance is achieved. Sellers are advised to discuss these topics with their REALTOR® (and real estate lawyer) at the first opportunity (e.g. the listing date) to develop a remedy strategy that is proactive, legal, and cost-effective.

"Rule No. 1: Never lose money. Rule No. 2: Never forget rule No. 1."
Warren E. Buffett
Successful investing is no coincidence, but the result of a systematic and disciplined approach. Our Rhy Report and Rhy Risk Indicator
support you in a better understanding of stock market cycles and to assess risks more accurately.
Rhy Report
The Rhy Report does not simply provide opinions, but facts. We constantly screen the internet for interesting information on financial markets with a focus on identifying potential opportunities and risks.
Rhy Risk Indicator
The systematic Rhy Risk Indicator (RRI) is targeting to identify high risk and low risk constellations in the stock market. It is often not sufficient to assess the risks of the stock market solely on the basis of fundamental and technical factors. The RRI therefore also includes psychological factors in the assessment.

Your Decade by Decade Guide to Caring for Your Skin and Preventing Skin Aging
Your Decade by Decade Guide to Caring for Your Skin and Preventing Skin Aging
Prevention is certainly better than cure, and it could not be truer when it comes to your skin.
Too often we take our skin for granted when it is still plump and wrinkle free, but then try desperately to treat it in later years when skin damage becomes evident in the form of lines, wrinkles, discoloration, etc. The best time to treat your skin is when it looks as if it doesn't need any treating at all.
To help you get started, we put together tips for taking the best care of your skin and keeping your skin healthy in your 20's, 30's, 40's, 50's and beyond. Here is Your Decade by Decade Guide to Caring for Your Skin and Preventing Skin Aging:
When should I start using anti-aging products?
There are so many different lotions and potions for every skin condition possible, that it can all get a bit confusing!
For the very best long-term results, add targeted actives to your regimen according to our age-specific timeline. It is never too late to start taking care of your skin, and, no matter what your age, make sure you are drinking enough water and using SPF.
Let's break it down:
In your 20s
The most important thing you can do in your twenties is to use an SPF of 30 or higher every single day (yes even on cloudy days!) The harmful UVA and UVB rays of the sun are so destructive to your skin, and the sneaky thing about this kind of skin damage is that it takes years for the damage to appear. Fast forward five, ten, twenty years and those days spent on the beach working on your tan or tanning sessions and no SPF will no longer be worth it.
The second most important thing you can do in your twenties is to avoid smoking (second hand smoke counts too). Nothing causes premature aging faster than free radicals in cigarette smoke. Again, this can be easy to forget when you are young, as the skin damage takes a few years to appear.
What products should I use?
You don't need to go too crazy with anti-aging products in your twenties, especially if you have oily skin. Most anti-aging products contain added moisture, so remember that oily skin benefits much more from a light weight lotion. Don't skip the moisturizer altogether, though, as this may cause your oil glands to produce more sebum to compensate for the lack of moisture, which will only make your oily skin or acne worse.
For a daily moisturizer we recommend our Complete Daily Moisture lotion, which is non-greasy and loaded with antioxidants such as Vitamin E and resveratrol, which will fight free radicals and brighten your skin. Be sure to follow up with an SPF of 30 or higher over this moisturizer if you are heading outdoors.
Night time
Your twenties is the perfect time to introduce a good retinol product into your routine.
Here's what retinol can do for your skin!
- Shrink pores
- Reduce acne
- Even out skin tone
- Soften skin
- Brighten skin
- Increase cell turnover, which builds collagen, helping to prevent future damage
Try our Total Nutrition Night Repair Complex (lotion based) before bed so that it can work its magic while you get your beauty sleep. Vitamin A speeds up cell turnover, while hyaluronic acid improves elasticity and provides your skin with intense hydration. Antioxidants, including green tea, pomegranate seed oil and Co Enzyme Q10 fight free radicals, preventing lines and wrinkles. If you prefer a gel-based serum instead of a cream, choose our Retinol Evening Renewal Serum instead.
Breakouts or wanting to get a jump start on taking the best care of your skin? Why not treat yourself (or a friend) to our Pore Refining Collection or our Clear Skin Collection, which will make your skincare regimen a breeze, while keeping your skin clear and protected against future damage
In your 30s
Your 30s are the time when fine lines and wrinkles start to appear. This is also the perfect time to amp up your skincare routine. Instead of your basic cleanse, tone and moisturizing routine, you should start to experiment with eye creams and anti-aging serums. Don't panic when you wake up one morning and see that first wrinkle, sit back and take a look at some great products we recommend for you. High quality topical nutrition does make a big difference in the long run!
Everyone is different, and just because you are in your thirties, it doesn't necessarily mean your skin is suddenly super dry. In fact, with hormone fluctuations, there are many of us dealing with breakouts. If you are still battling with oily skin or breakouts, then stick to our Complete Daily Moisture Lotion, but try adding a serum underneath for that little bit extra. Our Vitamin C Daytime Repair Serum is perfect for antioxidant and anti-aging defense as well as for brightening the skin, keeping it clear, and fading hyperpigmentation (dark spots), and promoting collagen production to keep your skin soft, smooth and prevent wrinkles from forming. Our skin starts to lose collagen more rapidly in our 30's, topical Vitamin C encourages your skin to renew collagen stores.
If, however, you find yourself on the other end of the spectrum and find that your skin is suddenly very dry, we recommend our Revitalizing Intensive Daily Moisture, which will provide your skin with that extra moisture it craves as well as anti-aging actives and of course antioxidants that protect your skin against the signs of aging.
Night time
You don't have to get into a rut here and use the same products every night. We recommend using our Total Nutrition Night Repair Complex at least a few times a week to increase cell turnover and promote collagen, which is essential for plump, healthy looking skin. On the other nights, try some of our serums or an oil, either alone or under the Total Nutrition Night Repair Complex. Even if your have oily skin, and especially if your skin runs on the dry side, hydration is essential.
Our Organic Jojoba Oil is good for all skin types from oily to dry and will provide your skin with a powerhouse of antioxidants, including Pomegranate Seed Oil and Vitamin E. Jojoba Oil is naturally almost identical to our own skin oils, so hydrates while balancing moisture and keeping skin oils in check throughout the day.
Our Hyaluronic Acid Ultimate Hydration Serum is excellent for providing intense hydration,while improving elasticity in the skin, which results in smoother, younger looking skin. Hyaluronic Acid (HA) infuses the skin with hydration because it has a tremendous capability to hold water – this gives your skin a smooth, plump look and feel. Baby skin is beautifully soft and smooth – one of the main reasons is the abundant stores of HA.If we topically replenish our skin with HA, we can protect our skin from losing elasticity and a smooth texture.
Our Retinol Evening Renewal Serum is super effective, but gentle enough for use on most skin types. Retinol is one of the longest-studied, best anti-aging actives. Vitamin A increases skin cell turnover and renews the skin surface. Is your skin lacking that radiance and feeling dull – this product is the perfect pick-me-up!
Now is the time to really step it up a notch with your skin care routine – Why not try our Ultimate Hydration Collection or our Wrinkle Repair Collection, both of which are perfect for providing some extra hydration and anti-aging benefits for your skin.
TIP: If you've never used a serum before, it's easy!To use our Serums, simply place a few drops in the palm of your hand, then use your fingertips to lightly pat the product onto your skin or massage gently until fully absorbed. For most serums, we recommend 1-2 drops per area of the face (forehead, lower eye area and upper cheeks, nose and mouth, lower cheeks and jawline). Don't forget your neck and chest! Serums can be worn alone or under one of our moisturizers.
In your 40s and beyond
Unless you are an alien, it's inevitable that some signs of damage will be evident in your 40s, although if you have taken care of your skin up until now, the damage should be minimal. Here are some recommendations to treat damage now and prevent future damage.
We definitely recommend our Revitalizing Intensive Daily Moisture for your daily moisturizer as your skin needs extra hydration at this age. Try adding a serum under it for an extra boost of anti-aging protection. See two of our favorites below!
Night time
Night time is all about Serums! We love applying serums right before bed as the highly-effective anti-aging actives they contain work best while you sleep and your body is in repair mode.
Our DMAE serum is absolutely fantastic for combating wrinkles and dullness. It promotes firmer, smoother skin with a beautiful glow. Powerful anti-aging actives, including Hyaluronic Acid, Coenzyme Q10 and Natural Active Peptides improve skin elasticity, firmness, and provide amino acids, essential for building collagen.
Our Collagen Booster Intense Repair Serum is a must at this age as skin naturally loses collagen as we age. Starting in our 30's and especially in our 40's, collagen starts to deplete at the rate of about 1% per year. Collagen is what gives our skin structure, keeping it plump, smooth and youthful. If you haven't started yet, now is definitely the time to focus protecting collagen. This serum is designed using targeted natural actives that build and protect collagen.
Try our Anti-Aging Collection, which includes four of our best serums for treating and preventing the signs of aging, or our Looking Fabulous Over 50 Collection, for a complete anti-aging, repair regimen with serums as well as our highly effective oil cleanser and our night time retinol lotion.
For all ages
No matter your age or skin type, everyone needs a good daily cleanser. When choosing something that you use every day, even twice a day, it's important to be read ingredient lists and be picky! Choose a cleanser that not only cleans the skin but also provides nutrition and anti-aging actives. Many cleansers use harsh ingredients like lauryl sulfates, stripping the skin of the essential, protective moisture barrier and damaging and aging the skin in the process. We highly recommend our Nutritive Oil Cleanser and Makeup Remover, loaded with antioxidants, anti-aging actives and nutrients that will deep clean while balancing skin oils, providing hydration to dry skin, and nourishing your skin. Your skin will glow, we promise!

The JPMorgan Chase staffers stopped, briefly startled by construction sounds resembling a jackhammer that interrupted their gathering on the ninth-floor offices of its digital headquarters. They quickly returned to the task at hand: billiards.
Needless to say, this is not your ordinary bank office.
JPMorgan's digital initiative made its new home in 5 Manhattan West, near the city's developing Hudson Yards district and representative of a culture shift taking place on Wall Street. The bank aims to recruit millennial talent away from startups and tech industry titans, whose experience is ripe for financial services products that are increasingly being consumed online.
Read More JPMorgan playing ball with Steph Curry, Warriors
Today, the bank's digital operations headcount is more than 1,500; it seems certain that figure will only grow.
"We really need to attract talent from across the industry spectrum," Gavin Michael, JPMorgan Chase's head of digital, told CNBC.com in an interview.
Wall Street has to compete for tech talent with Silicon Valley companies eager to cater to needs and whims with in-office chefs, exotic retreats and benefits extending to employees' pets. It comes as pay on Wall Street, especially on the entry-level scale, has failed to match the banking business' outsized expectations.

The recent Corot to Monet exhibition at the National Gallery wasn't very exciting, sadly.
There was a bit about how the Barbizon school was responsible for moving art towards realism. Suddenly, painters were making nature the subject of their paintings.
Jean-Francois Millet extended the idea from landscape to figures. His paintings were reflecting real life: peasant figures and scenes of peasant life, for example.
The previous trend was for painters to incorporate a sense of poetry into their works. They used their imagination and memory to work on pieces, sketching outdoors and working on the paintings back in their studios. What we have as a result are poetic paintings with few realistic details.
'Beauty in art is truth based on the impression we have received observing nature' (Corot).
Boudin taught many Impressionists to paint outdoors and they famously took hold of the concept of painting in situ. 'The Beach at Trouville' by Monet even has grains of sand and shells embedded in the paint surface.
And thats about it. Many paintings and little substance. And a few paintings which failed to justify their presence in the exhibition. Still, it's always nice to spend some time in an art gallery…

Ashley Olsen Strips Down For Racy Photo Shootby Free Britney at .
Coming out of her sister's shadow at last, Ashley Olsen strips down to a bra and bares her midriff in racy photos for the Summer 2009 issue of V Man magazine.
Olsen also dons a brown wig for the photo shoot, done to promote the launch of The Row's menswear line this fall. She designed the brand with sis Mary-Kate.
Here's Ash channeling her inner rocker chic ...
What attracts Ashley Olsen to a man? Or at least men's fashion?
"To touch a man who has a soft sweater on, a soft pant, a great jacket, or something that, as a woman, I want to take off and put on and feel sexy in," she says.
Ashley says she is content focusing on fashion designing these days, but her sister, "still wants to focus on acting," she says. As for whether they're still close?
"I see her like 10 times a day."

politics and government of
The Prime Minister of Pakistan (Urdu: وَزِیرِ اَعظَم - Wazīr-ē Aʿẓam, Urdu pronunciation: [ʋəˈziːr-ˌeː ˈɑː.zəm]; lit. "Grand Vizier"), is the head of government of Pakistan and designated as the "chief executive of the Republic".[1][2] The Prime Minister leads the executive branch of the government, oversees the economic growth, leads the National Assembly, heads the Council of Common Interests as well as the Cabinet, and is vested with the command authority over the nuclear arsenals.[3][4][5]
This position places its holder in leadership of the nation and in control over all matters of internal and foreign policy.[6] The last holder of this position was Nawaz Sharif who was recently disqualified by the Supreme Court.[7] He was replaced by interim Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi. The Prime Minister is elected by the members of the National Assembly and therefore is usually the leader of the majority party in the parliament. The Constitution of Pakistan vests the executive powers in the Prime Minister, who is responsible for appointing the Cabinet as well as running the executive branch, taking and authorising executive decisions, appointments and recommendations that require executive confirmation of the Prime Minister.[2]
Constitutionally, the Prime Minister serves as the chief adviser to President of Pakistan on critical matters and plays an influential role in appointment in each branch of the military leadership as well as ensuring the control of the military through chairman joint chiefs.[8][9] Powers of the Prime Minister have significantly grown with a delicate system of the check and balance by each branch.[10] The position was absent during years of 1960-73 and 1977-85 due to imposed martial law. In each of these periods, the military junta led by the President had the powers of the Prime Minister.[11]
Constitutional law
The Constitution envisages a scheme of affairs in which the President of Pakistan is the head of state who represents the "unity of the Republic." The system of government in Pakistan is based on codified constitution which sees the Prime Minister as "chief executive of the Republic."
Subject to the Constitution, the executive authority of the Federation shall be exercised in the name of the President by the Federal Government, consisting of the Prime Minister and the Federal Ministers, which shall act through the Prime Minister, who shall be the chief executive of the Federation."- Article 90(1) in Chapter 3: The Federal Government of Part III: The Federation of Pakistan in the Constitution of Pakistan, source[12]
In addition, the Prime Minister is also the chairman of the Council of Common Interests as set by:
(1) There shall be a Council of Common Interests, in this Chapter referred to as the Council, to be appointed by the President
(2) The Council shall consist of-(c) three members from the Federal Government to be nominated by the Prime Minister from time to time.
(a) the Prime Minister who shall be the Chairman of the Council;
(b) the Chief Ministers of the Provinces;- Article 153 in Chapter 3: Special Provisions of Part V: Relations between Federation and Provinces in the Constitution of Pakistan, source[13]
As in most of the parliamentary democracies, a head of state's duties are mostly ceremonial. The Prime Minister of Pakistan is the head of government and has the responsibility for executive power. With Pakistan following a parliamentary system of government, the Prime minister is generally the leader of a party (or coalition of parties) that has a majority in the National Assembly - the lower house of the Parliament of Pakistan. The Prime minister, in common with all other ministers, either has to be a current member of National Assembly, or be elected within six months of being appointed.[12]
Role and powers of the Prime minister
The official residence and principal workplace of the Prime Minister is the Prime Minister's Secretariat located in northeast Islamabad. The Prime Minister is the Chief Executive who heads and exercises the authority of the Government of Pakistan. After obtaining a vote of confidence, the Prime Minister is invited by the President to take the oath of office and form the government.[12] In practice, the Prime Minister nominates the members of the Cabinet who supervise the important functions and ministries of the Government of Pakistan.[12] In addition, the Prime Minister communicates to the President all decisions of the Cabinet relating to the administration of affairs of state and proposals for legislation.[14]
The Prime Minister, in consultation with the Cabinet, schedules and attends the sessions of the Parliament and is required to answer questions from Members of Parliament to the ministers.
Some specific ministries/department are not allocated to anyone in the cabinet but the prime minister himself. The prime minister is usually always in-charge/Chairman of:
- Planning Commission
- National Command Authority
- National Security Council
- Economic Coordination Committee
- Cabinet Committee on National Security
The Prime minister is vested with command authority over the Pakistani nuclear arsenals and represents the country in various delegations, high-level meetings and international organisations that require the attendance of the highest government office and also addresses the nation on various issues of national importance.[5]
The Constitution of Pakistan requires that the Prime Minister be a member of the National Assembly.[15] As well as this, one must:
- be a citizen of Pakistan.
- be a Muslim
- be above 25 years of age
- be able to prove good conduct of character and be not commonly known to violate Islamic injunctions
- have adequate knowledge of Islamic teachings and practice obligatory duties prescribed by Islam, as well as abstaining from major sins
- have not, after the establishment of Pakistan, worked against the integrity of the country or opposed the ideology of Pakistan.
Selection and removal
The candidates for the prime minister are members of the National Assembly or Senate who were chosen through direct elections by popular vote following campaigning on the party platforms.[16] Usually, the leader of the majority party in the parliament retains the office of prime minister, and forms the government either by coalition or by simple majority.[17] The candidate must retain the vote of confidence of the members of the parliament before being invited by the President to form the government.[12]
The Prime Minister can be removed before the expiry of the term through a vote of no confidence in the parliament.[12] If the vote of no confidence is passed by the National Assembly by not less than 20%, the Prime Minister ceases to retain the office.[12] In the past, prime ministers (and their governments) have been dismissed by the President exercising the VIII Amendment to the Constitution of Pakistan (1985), but this was repealed by the XVIII Amendment to the Constitution of Pakistan (2010).[18][19] In addition, the Prime Minister himself has absolute constitutional immunity from criminal and civil proceedings, and no proceedings can be initiated or continued against him during the term of his office.[20]
In 2012, the Supreme Court of Pakistan has ceased at least one Prime Minister from retaining the office due to contempt of court after retroactively disqualifying the membership of the parliament permanently.[21][22]
On 28 July 2017, the Supreme Court of Pakistan disqualified the Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif from retaining the office due to his failure in fulfilling the eligibility requirements as enshrined in Articles 62 of the Constitution. This was in the aftermath of the Supreme Court hearing regarding the Panama Papers Case. This also resulted in him being permanently disqualified from membership of the parliament.[23]
The prime minister is elected by the National Assembly.[24] The National Assembly meets on the twenty-first day after a general election (at least every five years) unless the President calls for a vote of no confidence. Whichever member of the National assembly is chosen serves as the Prime Minister until the next election or until he fails to maintain the confidence of the National Assembly.
91. The Cabinet:
(1) There shall be a Cabinet of Ministers, with the Prime Minister at its head, to aid and advise the President in the exercise of his functions.
(2) The National Assembly shall meet on the twenty-first day following the day on which a general election to the Assembly is held unless sooner summoned by the President.
(3) After the election of the Speaker and the Deputy Speaker, the National Assembly shall, to the exclusion of any other business, proceed to elect without debate one of its Muslim members to be the Prime Minister.
(4) The Prime Minister shall be elected by the votes of the majority of the total membership of the National Assembly:
Provided that, if no member secures such majority in the first poll, a second poll shall be held between the members who secure the two highest numbers of votes in the first poll and the member who secures a majority of votes of the members present and voting shall be declared to have been elected as Prime Minister:
Provided further that, if the number of votes secured by two or more members securing the highest number of votes is equal, further poll shall be held between them until one of them secures a majority of votes of the members present and voting.
(5) The member elected under clause (4) shall be called upon by the President to assume the office of Prime Minister and he shall, before entering upon the office, make before the President oath in the form set out in the Third Schedule:
Provided that there shall be no restriction on the number of terms for the office of the Prime Minister.
Oath of office
The Prime Minister is required to make and subscribe to, in the presence of the President, an oath or affirmation that they shall protect, preserve and defend the Constitution as follows:
I, ____________, do swear solemnly that l am a Muslim and believe in the Unity and Oneness of Almighty Allah, the Books of Allah, the Holy Qura'an being the last of them, the Prophethood of Muhammad (peace be upon him) as the last of the Prophets and that there can be no Prophet after him, the Day of Judgment, and all the requirements and teachings of the Holy Quran and Sunnah:
That I will bear true faith and allegiance to Pakistan:
That, as Prime Minister of Pakistan, I will discharge my duties, and perform my functions, hon-estly, to the best of my ability, faithfully in accordance with the Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan and the law, and always in the interest of the sovereignty, integrity, solidarity, well- being and prosperity of Pakistan:
That I will strive to preserve the Islamic Ideology which is the basis for the creation of Pakistan:
That I will not allow my personal interest to influence my official conduct or my official decisions:
That I will preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan:
That, in all circumstances, I will do right to all manner of people, according to law, without fear or favor, affection or ill- will:
And that I will not directly or indirectly communicate or reveal to any person any matter which shall be brought under my consideration or shall become known to me as Prime Minister except as may be required for the due discharge of my duties as Prime Minister.May Allah Almighty help and guide me (A'meen).- Article 91 in Chapter 3: The Federal Governmentin Part III: The Federation of Pakistan in the Constitution of Pakistan

The office was created on immediate effect after the partition and the establishment of Pakistan in 1947; the Prime Minister existed alongside the Governor-General who was the representative of English Monarchy. The first Prime Minister, Liaquat Ali Khan, exercised central executive powers until his assassination in 1951.[25] However, the powers slowly began to be reduced as a result of constant intervention by the Governor-General. Despite the first set of the Constitution giving central power in 1956, the next six prime ministers were dismissed by the Governor-General from 1951 till 1957. In addition, the first set of the Constitution had evolved the Governor-General into the President of Pakistan whilst declaring the country as "Islamic republic".[26][27] In 1958, President Iskandar Mirza dismissed the seventh prime minister to impose martial law in a mere two weeks, President Mirza was ousted by army chief General Ayub Khan who had for a brief period held the post of Prime Minister.
In 1962, the second set of the Constitution completely dissolved the office of prime minister as all powers were transferred to the President of Pakistan.[27][28] Criticism over the presidency after the presidential election held in 1965 over the centralizing of powers. After the general elections held in 1970, the office was established with Nurul Amin becoming the Prime Minister who was also the Vice-President. Negotiations that fall apart between Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, Mujibur Rehman, and Yahya Khan that prompted to liberation movement in the East Pakistan. With India intervening in East Pakistan and Pakistan conceding defeat to end the war led to the collapse of the presidential system in 1971.
As the comprehensive Constitution reinstated in 1973, the post was reestablished with more central powers as the constitution provided a parliamentary system with President of Pakistan as figurehead.[29] Amid agitation instigated by the right-wing alliance invited the military intervention in 1977 which suspended the post.
The general elections held in 1985 restored the post, with Muhammad Junejo becoming the Prime Minister. Later that year, the National Assembly passed the controversial eighth amendment to the Constitution, giving the President the power to dismiss the Prime Minister and the National Assembly without prior consultation.[30] The general elections in 1988 resulted in the Pakistan Peoples Party's Benazir Bhutto becoming the first woman Prime Minister elected in a Muslim country.[31]
From 1988 to 1993, the power struggle between the Prime Minister and Presidency continued with President dismissing the National Assembly on three different occasions. At the 1997 elections, the PML(N) secured a two-thirds majority in the Parliament and drafted the XIII and XIV Amendments to reverse the eighth amendment to the Constitution; this allowed Nawaz Sharif to centralize more executive powers.[32] After the draw down of civil-military relations in 1999, Chairman joint chiefs General Pervez Musharraf staged a coup d'état against the PML(N)'s government and held nationwide elections in 2002.[33]
With no party gaining a majority, a coalition was formed with the PML(Q) - a breakaway of the PML(N) and a pro-Musharraf party - leading with MQM. After some political wrangling, Zafarullah Jamali became the Prime Minister, and passed the XVII amendment which partially restored the power of the President to dissolve the National Assembly, but made the dissolution subject to the Supreme Court of Pakistan's approval.[34]
Over the authority issues,[clarification needed] Prime Minister Jamali resigned in 2004 and Shaukat Aziz was eventually appointed as Prime Minister, securing 151 out of 191 votes in the National Assembly.[35] The XVII amendment featured a semi-presidential system allowing the presidency to keep the interference[clarification needed]executive and the judiciary.[34] The general elections in 2008 resulted in the PPP coming to power and supporting the movement to oust Pervez Musharraf.[36] A populist intellectual movement leading to the departure of Pervez Musharraf] allowed Asif Zardari to become President. In 2010, the XVIII Amendment to the Constitution of Pakistan was passed to reverse the XVII amendment; it returned the country to being a parliamentary democratic republic. In addition, the XVIII Amendment removed all powers of the presidency to dissolve the Parliament unilaterally and sweep away the powers amassed by the former presidents Pervez Musharraf and Zia-ul-Haq to maintain a delicate check and balance.[37]
Following a contempt of court case, the Supreme Court permanently disqualified Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gillani.[38] Originally, the PPP nomination was Makhdoom Shahbuddin,[39] but he was forced to withdraw after the ANF issued non-bailable arrest warrants against him.[40]Raja Pervaiz Ashraf became the Prime Minister and remained in office until 2013.[40][41][42][10] The general election held in 2013 saw the PML(N) almost achieve a supermajority. Following this, Nawaz Sharif was elected as Prime Minister, returning to the post for the third time after a fourteen-year absence, in a democratic transition. In 2017, Sharif was forced to step down as the prime minister following corruption charges against him.

The Weather Channel earned a gold award from PromaxBDA for their "Live Augmented Reality - Severe" segment in the Global Art Direction & Design: Informational Graphics category. These groundbreaking augmented reality presentations have become a critical part of The Weather Channel's reporting, helping viewers understand the science and severity of storms as never before.
Additionally, The Weather Channel was awarded a FAXIE for their partnership with American Red Cross for a campaign to raise awareness of the need for blood donations. In 2016, the nation saw an increase in the amount of severe weather, and that had direct impact on the American Red Cross' ability to collect blood and to provide lifesaving resources to communities in need. The multi-month blood campaign focused on mitigating the impacts of lost blood collection due to severe weather blood drive cancellations.
"We are thrilled that PromaxBDA and CableFax recognized the incredible work from our team at The Weather Channel. I am proud of the creativity that that goes into our design work, and commitment to constantly improving graphic elements in our programming," said David Shull, CEO of The Weather Channel television network. "It's also an honor to be recognized for our commitment to public service by CableFax. Providing vital information to promote public safety is key to our mission."

Alpha Monster Advanced Reviews:
Editor's rating:
You have to admit, it's a great brand name: Alpha Monster Advanced. It uses 3 recognizable terms in the T-booster industry. You'll find lots of supplements with the Alpha name, and lots of them claim to be an advanced formula.
This one even includes the monster term, so it's not merely a testosterone booster for older gents. It's marketed towards younger men aiming for bigger—or even monstrous—muscles.
What is Alpha Monster Advanced?
AMA (sorry, got tired writing the whole thing out!)is a dietary supplement. It boosts testosterone levels, and it doesn't just try to compensate for reduced T-levels that are normal for men as they get older.
It's also a muscle-building supplement. It boosts your T levels so that you get greater strength and endurance. What's more, it also includes other ingredients that help make for more effective workouts. What's notably absent here is caffeine, so there's no risk of the jitters that caffeine is notorious for causing.
Checking on the various reviews online can lead to some confusion about its ingredients, however. In the consumerhealthdigest.com review, it lists 6 ingredients: horny goat weed, wild yam extract, orchid extract, sarsaparilla extract, saw palmetto extract, and nettle extract.
However, in the supplementlab.org review, a different ingredients list is mentioned. It also mentions saw palmetto, horny goat weed, sarsaparilla, and nettle root extract. But it doesn't have wild yam and orchid. Instead, it adds tongkat ali, muira puama, maca root, ginseng blend, various antioxidants, and Hyaluronic acid.
Finally, there's the supplementswatch.com review, and this time you have a completely different set of ingredients. This time, you have vitamins C and B9, calcium, L-citrulline, Lovage root and rhizome, Lovage Levisticum Officinale powder, Ubidecarenone (also known Coenzyme Q10), L-Taurine, L-Norvaline, and beet nitrate.
So what the heck is going on? Are there different versions made by the same company? Do different manufacturers use the same brand name for their T-boosters? Are reviewers making stuff up? We checked the RevLabs.com website (it's supposed to be the manufacturer) and it's not listed on the site at all.
Who's to say what's going on? What seems to be in common with all these reviews is that:
Examining how it works is impossible at this point, since there's no certainty that ingredients are really contained in the damned thing.
Reviews – Do You Really Wanna Buy This Stuff?
The various reviews all have different things to say about Alpha Monster Reviews. In the supplementlab.org review, it reads like an advert. As in it seems to consider every claim by AMA as fact. It supposedly builds muscles and doubles stamina, it boosts T-levels, and it confirms that it uses 100% natural ingredients.
What's hard to believe is that the review even says that "It expands the size of penis to achieving a higher level of satisfaction." That's a direct quote, by the way. For most of us in the real world (and not in some fantasy land), that's just a huge pile of crap. No way is this a serious review.
The same level of positivity is evident on the supplementswatch.com review. The review even quotes several testimonials (from God knows where) that recommend and hail the supplement. The review attests to the effectiveness of the product.
It does, however, mention that it uses the "free trial" auto shipment tactic. You're given a month's supply, but you can try it for free as long as you cancel this in 10 days. You just need to pay the shipping and handling.
Obviously, a period of 10 days is not enough time to know if it'll work for you. You'll then be charged a hefty $89.74 bill for each month until you're able to cancel the subscription. We all know how this works—trying to cancel will be a very frustrating experience.
There aren't really any credible reports regarding this product's effectiveness. Sure, there aren't any dangerous ingredients (regardless of which review and ingredients list you believe). That means no side effects. But that's the extent of it.
Again, not knowing the precise ingredients hampers our investigation as to how effective this really is. It's either frustrating or frightening.
How Can You Buy Alpha Monster Advanced?
Nobody really knows the real ingredients of Alpha Monster Advanced because it's like the Yeti or the Loch Ness Monster. Quite a few have heard of it, but it seems no one has really found it. You can't find its official website online.
You may find some sites that purport to sell it, but then when you click to get the free trial the site pulls a switch on you and offers something else like the Nitric Max Muscle.
But that's probably not such a bad thing when you think about it. Even as a free trial, it's a bad deal. That's because free trials tend to ensnare you into paying up about $90 a month for the supplement when you fail to cancel your trial. It's a problem because often there's really no easy way of cancelling the trial at all.
In all likelihood, this supplement has already been withdrawn from the market, so that's that.
Final verdict
How do you recommend something that provides a confusing picture regarding its ingredients list? You simply don't know what's in Alpha Monster Advanced. It sure has an impressive name, but the confusion over the ingredients is hardly impressive. You may want to find another supplement that offers a clearer picture of what it really is.

Should I Get a Flu Shot?
People who are in any of the following groups, or who live in a household with someone who is, should get a flu shot:
- You are 50 years of age or older
- You have chronic diseases of your heart, lungs, or kidneys
- You have diabetes
- Your immune system does not function properly
- You have a severe form of anemia
- You will be more than three months pregnant during the flu season
- You live in a nursing home or other chronic-care housing facility
- You are in close contact with children 23 months of age or younger.
The CDC recommends that children 6 to 23 months of age get flu shots. Children and teenagers (2 to 18 years of age) should get shots if they are taking long-term aspirin treatment, as they may be at risk of developing Reye's syndrome following a flu infection. Children should also get shots if they live in a household with someone in the previously mentioned groups. Healthcare providers and volunteers should get flu shots if they work with people in any of these groups.

We heart reading Wednesday
This book is fitting for today, Ash Wednesday.
I grew up in Texas, which is the Bible belt, so you can imagine that I knew Our Father Prayer at an early age. I always felt peaceful saying this prayers and I still do.
My son had it memorized a few years back, it was so cute to hear him in his own version. The other day he was so proud to come back from school and announce that his class was leaning Our Father, and he already knew it. He said his teacher so impressed he asked him to say it twice, and the second time he said it "super fast". ha ha ha
This book is very cute and does a great job of setting visuals to a beautiful prayer. Hail Mary is also available in this series.
one comment - get your say in!
i will have to check this book out, thanks for sharing!

You are setting out all on your own and you are renting your first apartment. You need to consider what you want and need in the apartment. Do you need the furnished apartment or even can you furnish the particular apartment yourself. Do you really need an apartment with resources included or can you have utilities inside your name. You will also must think about appliances, such as a dishwasher, stove and refrigerator. Do you have these products or will you be renting your first apartment with one of these items included. Once you know the answers to these Questions, you can begin looking for an condo.
Renting your first apartment is always exciting, you are setting out by yourself, you'll have your own home to care for, and you will have more freedom. With this particular freedom come obligations. If you have a job, you should set aside enough money to pay all the expenses of getting an apartment. You are going to need to ensure you can have people over with out disturbing other apartment renter's and you have a responsibility to maintain the premises clean and damage free.
Hiring your first apartment entails that you might have other responsibilities to do besides paying your bills and keeping the actual apartment clean. Should you rent a lower flat, you might have responsibilities for lawn care and possibly some weather associated chores as well. If you do not want these types of obligations, you might only think about upper flats for rent. You do not want to over burden yourself when hiring your first apartment. You need to have time to do everything that is needed when renting your first apartment or residence.
When it is time to locate your first apartment, you can jot down a few questions to ask the property manager, which will help eliminate apartments that are not suited to your needs. When you call for information about the apartment, it is wise to ask these Questions before scheduling an appointment. If it is not what you are trying to find, then you do not want to spend time looking at the apartment. You should always ask questions until you are satisfied that the condo will be right for you.
If you are renting your first apartment, you may tend to believe that you can have something just as nice as you been with them at home. This may not always be true. You can take even the many moderate apartment and make it a display inside even if the outdoors has a bit to become desired. You do not want to around extend yourself on lease payments.
You will also must consider utilities, meals, clothing, car costs or transportation costs and any other necessaries for example insurances. You will find that your first apartment is like anything else. It is never something that you would settle for, but it is the first one in a line of several you will have before you wed or buy a home of your own.

Forthcoming tutorials/short videos about making your repository OpenAIRE compliant:
Compliancy for DSpace repository platforms
Compliancy for for EPrints repository platforms
How to cope with legacy publications: automatic inference of EC project-publication links
In order to harvest and connect publications to related EC FP7 grant agreement and calculate the percentage of Open Access versus non-Open Access publications, the OpenAIRE project requires repositories to adapt to the OpenAIRE Guidelines. These are low-barrier requirements for OAI-PMH compliant repositories that build on the oai_dc and DRIVER Guidelines.
When your repository is OpenAIRE compliant, its FP7 funded content is harvested periodically, indexed within the OpenAIRE portal and presented in the OpenAIRE search and browse section. In this way, FP7 funded research results deposited in your repository can achieve wider visibility and distribution – and be read, used and cited more widely by the global research community.
Research managers in your institution will be able to compare your institutional performance in FP7 projects with the performance of other institutions in your country and within the European Union using the OpenAIRE FP7 publication statistics tool. You will also save time for researchers at your institution.
Repositories, successfully harvested by the OpenAIRE, are entitled to display the OpenAIRE logo on their website, to certify quality and the global networked status of their content.
The OpenAIRE project team can help you with your targeted advocacy activities to ensure that high quality content is deposited into your repository and then harvested by the OpenAIRE portal. We reach out to the researchers publishing FP7 funded articles and encourage them to self-archive in your repository.
Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.

Darling Husband and I bought our first house together 3 weeks ago. It's a fixer upper and our mortgage is half of what we were paying in rent (score!) We moved in 2 weeks ago and started our renovation. We bought the house off of a family friend of DH's. She let us in on all the information and secrets of the house. She said it was rewired recently, all the appliances were in great shape, no major problems that she knew of. She told us we will need to add insulation under the bedrooms and in the attic, three outlets needed replaced because she broke things in them and the plugs were stuck (super scary) and replace some of the windows because they are only single paned.
Not a big deal.
Wrong! We moved in and one of the first things we did was replace the light fixtures. Everything looked good and was really easy except for the dining room light. My cousin came over to look and he said it was still the old knob and tube wiring. So he rewired the light and one of the outlets, and doing so he had to rip out a wall. Ugh. I still have no idea why someone would rewire an entire house EXCEPT for one light fixture and one outlet.
Then we moved onto painting the kitchen cabinets. Everytime I was near the sink, I smelt natural gas. I had Darling Husband and even my mom come over to smell and they swore they didn't smell anything and I was just paranoid. *More on this later* The dishwasher had a terrible smell from what we believed was sitting water so we decided to run it once to get the smell out. A couple minutes after it started, we found out one of the water pipes was just sitting under the sink and started draining out old brown water everywhere. IT WAS AWFUL. Then the dishwasher started smoking!! We unplugged it and took it outside. UGH!
Last Wednesday we finally had the kitchen done, so I started putting stuff away. Once again I was under the sink and I smelt the gas again…but this time my mom did too. We called the gas company and sure enough, there was a gas leak in the basement. DH's dad is a Landlord so he had some guys he uses to replace all of the gas lines inside and out.
Well it's been 5 days and we still have no gas. Everytime the gas company comes over to inspect their work, they flag something else that we need to fix.
There was honestly no point in this post other than for me to vent about what a mess this has been. I am kinda missing the days when all we had to do was call our landlord and he fixed it.

It is good news to come back after a mid-week holiday and realize that Childish Gambino (the musical outfit of Mr. Donald Glover) has released a mixtape, which is zooming around the Internet in part because it can be downloaded for free. Who doesn't like free music? Especially free music that happens to include some rapping from Glover's old boss. Her name is Tina Fey. And, someday, hopefully, we'll learn more about this female emcee. An EP, even.
In all seriousness, good for her.

Science is difficult to make accessible to the public. Why? Because it is hard, explained Scott Asakawa, the Outreach Coordinator for NOVA. Scott shared ways to make science more accessible at the Science Cafe 101 session. What is a science cafe and is there one in your city? These answers can all be found on the science cafe website. In short, science cafes encourage dialogue between scientists and the public.
Scott shared several tips to engage the public with science. A few tips include using props, learning about your audience, and being visually appealing. Additionally, scientists should watch their language! Scientists should avoid using scientific terms and jargon when explaining research. Obviously, this takes practice. You can check out scientists and engineers practicing explaining their research in under 30 seconds at the secret life of scientists and engineers.
Science cafes are currently in 49 states, excluding Wyoming. If you live in Wyoming or can't find one by you, then send an e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com to setup a science cafe in your city.
