Women's Sunglasses
Women's sunglasses have evolved so much over the years. From a practical necessity as an eye protection against the suns damaging rays to a fashion statement that completes every outfit, it has definitely progressed in style and function. With so many available designs, shapes, size and colors to choose from, it gets confusing sometimes to select the best one that fits your style and your personality. Here is some basic information about your favorite accessory to better understand its humble history and how you can pick the ones that will help you to rock those beautiful outfits.
Round Sunglasses
This is considered the oldest, most practical shape of the sunglasses. Back in the day when materials are limited, and technologies are not much advance yet, lenses were created based on the easiest, simplest shape that can fit all kinds of frames from a basic googles, spectacles, telescopes and glasses, which is the round shape. It's a one shape fits all approach that brought it to its popularity. The shape was a practical choice to cover the entire area of the eyes, without obstructing the view of the person wearing it. Since then, it has become a fashion statement and was a symbol for the elite, different and smart people. This style has been worn by many celebrities and has been called by many names such as Lennon Glasses or Granny Glasses yet the history and appeal it brings never change.
Today, round sunglasses come in different sizes and designs. Its color has also evolved from the basic black tint to a variety of many different hues such as the famous pink, blue, brown, yellow, mirrored lenses and other bold colors which are a thing especially during summer to compliment the lively, colorful outfits. Round sunglasses also look flattering for women that has square or defined facial features. It helps balance the shape of their faces, creating a softer look. You can also easily partner it with any kind of wardrobe from the formal elegant look to a Sunday stroll in the beach kind of dress. It can easily add a fun vibe to any dull outfit.
Cat eye Sunglasses
This shape of sunglasses offers a unique, feline inspired style and has been called by many names such as "Manhattan", "Harlequin and many others. It is characterized by having a horn-rim and upsweep at the outer edges where the temples or arms join the frame front. These are popularized and mainly created for women because of the character it represent. It was developed in the 1950's by an American socialite and inventor to rebel on the most popular shape of sunglasses during her time, where the designs were more focus on function rather than fashion. It started to become famous in prescription glasses, but because of its feminine and sophisticated style, it became mainstream and was worn by famous actresses and were used in different Hollywood movies.
Nowadays, the cat eye sunglasses serve as a major fashion statement that gives a classy vintage appeal to the wearer. Women love this design and they now come in many different sizes from micro lenses to oversized frames, creating a variation to the classic look. This design actually looks good in all face shapes due to variations of style, but this frame usually looks best for people with round, square and triangular faces because it balances their facial features. It creates an extra lift, giving an extra edge and attention to the upper side of the face. You can also easily wear it in many different ways depending on your mood. You can use it as a playful twist to your formal, modern lined attire or a perfect partner to your casual Sunday dress when going to the mall or meeting with your girl friends.
Square Sunglasses
The square shape sunglasses were also an update and a result of technological advancement after the war. As more and more people start to explore outside, the need for a versatile, comfortable yet stylish sunglasses started to rise. One of the results of these fashion innovation is the square type sunglasses that are ideal for a cool and casual look and can be worn by both men and women. This has become a classic favorite, especially with a hipster look and was a good escape from the popular round lenses.
This has become a perfect piece of shades for people today, having round, heart and oblong faces because it creates more definition and edge to their facial feature. Square frames are basically shape-shifters as they help to balance out a narrow jawline or give a round face some angles. It also adds contrast to soft facial curves and help shorten longer faces. This is a perfect pair of sunglasses for women with creative characters and it gives a carefree yet classic look to the wearer.
Aviator Sunglasses
Most of us know the rich history of aviator sunglasses. This iconic sunglass was basically developed during the WWII to protect the eyes of the pilots of the blinding glares from the sun and bright lights from explosions. It also helped in keeping a clear view of the sky while protecting the pilot from any debris that they might come in contact during the war. The top bar of the eye glasses also served a purpose of keeping the sweat away from the eyes while piloting the jets. Since then, it has eventually become part of the cultural design, mimicking military style.
Now Aviator sunglasses, gets an update with modern elements like thick molded frames, a double brow bridge, mirrored lenses and comes in many colors and sizes which can be worn with any outfits and by both men and women. New alternatives were also developed from the original design such such as square framed aviators and pink lenses to give a softer touch to the famous style.
Oval Sunglasses
Oval sunglasses are usually a classy statement creating a wider stretch version on the round sunglasses. It is characterized by a curved bridge connecting two swoopy ovals which in a certain light looks like the infinity symbol floating around your face. This was a famous choice for alternative musicians. They have a flashy shade and bold shape, diametrically opposed to the dirty, faded clothes of 90s alternative-rock.
This shape is a bit hard to pull off, but when you found the perfect outfit, it gives you a combination of "I can't be bothered" and "I can get away with anything" arrogance or create the "I'm too pretty, I can wear anything" kind of look.

There are three sorts of jackets you'll wear for business and business casual attire: sportcoats, blazers, and suit jackets. Traditionally, sportcoats were the least formal, suit jackets the most formal, and blazers fell somewhere in between. More recently, sportcoats and blazers have been lumped into a single category, though there are still small differences between the two. Don't be bothered too much by the details - the main thing to take away here is that suit jackets are for business occasions and sportcoats/blazers are strictly business casual wear.
Main Points
- Suit jackets are for business occasions, blazers/spoartcoats are for business casual.
- Suit jackets have more structure than sportcoats/blazers (especially in the shoulders) and are generally made of finer materials.
- Wear your suit jacket with a matching pair of trousers and never wash them separately.
- Rules for business casual wear are much more relaxed - it's perfectly acceptable to mix shirt and trouser colors.
- Aim for contrast: Light colored dress shirts look nice with darker suits and blazers.
Suit Jackets

For business and dressier occassions, it's safer to assume you'll need to wear a suit jacket. Your suit jacket should be purchased with a pair of trousers that match the jacket in fabric, color, and pattern. Always wear these together and never dry clean them separately -- this can cause disproportionate fading of the material, which will make the whole suit look much worse.
Darker suits (e.g., navy and charcoal) are usually considered more formal than lighter colored suits (e.g., brown and tan). If you're buying your first suit, navy or charcoal are great colors that work for job interviews and most other formal occassions.
A light, solid colored dress shirt always looks sharp with a darker suit. White or light blue are safe and common dress shirt colors. Subtle patterns on your shirt (windowpane, check, stripe) can look nice with a dark, unpatterned suit, but be careful of wearing patterned shirts with patterned suits as this can make the entire outfit very noisy. Though it can work in some outfits, it is generally not a good idea to pair dark, solid colors with dark suits.
Sportcoats and blazers
For business casual occassions where you feel that a suit would be overkill and a simple dress shirt will not suffice, throw on a sportcoat or blazer with a spread collar shirt. You can pair those items with a variety of different pants, depending on the occassion. Jeans can be worn with a sportcoat, though this will make the whole outfit look less formal. Dress pants can also be worn with a sportcoat for the opposite effect. Chinos are a nice compromise in that they are dressier than jeans but less formal than dress pants.
As far as color pairings go, your sportcoat/blazer color does not need to match the color of your pants; additionally, light, solid colored dress shirts are generally good pairings with darker jackets. If you want to play it safe, you can wear different shades of the same color (e.g., dark blue jeans with a navy blazer and light blue dress shirt). That said, pairing a navy blazer with tan or brown trousers can look very sharp if done correctly.
So which should you wear to work?
You will need to gauge how formal your attire should be based on your work place and the customers you deal with on a day-to-day basis. For instance, if you work at a law office or bank, you're likely expected to wear fairly formal clothing. On the other hand, Realtors and real estate agents can often get away with wearing business casual attire. These standards can also vary based on geography; for example, men might be expected to dress more formally in Boston than they would in Miami.
Take a look around your office -- what is everyone else wearing? How much do they dress up? That will give you an idea of what you should be wearing.

S&P Fan Kitchen Ventilation Kits
A powerful S&P TD fan mounted inline—that is, in the wall or attic rather than inside the range hood—is the optimum setup to deliver great ventilation performance with very little noise. The ASKI series brings serious commercial components, specifications and techniques to residential kitchen ventilation.
The result is to eliminate smoke, heat, grease and odors quietly and efficiently, keeping the air quality and noise level in your kitchen as inviting as the decor.
|Do you have questions about the products on this page?
Click on the ? image on the left or this link to ask us your questions!
|Q: Where can I see the specs and image for the roof cap that is included in ASKI 36?
A: Its one of these: http://www.hvacquick.com/products/residential/Kitchen-Exhaust/Discharge-Caps-Roof/roof-caps-galvanized-steel
Asked on 2017-03-03 by Bob
|Q: I am looking at installing a new kitchen exhaust system over a new gas range in our kitchen remodel. We dont want to use a hood. I am looking at the ASKI-36. Is it possible to attach this to a variable speed controller? Also how tall is the entire assembly from ceiling to roof?
A: Dimensions are the in the catalog sheet (under Links tab). Yes, the fans can be speed controlled. WC15 or the 6637-PW. http://www.hvacquick.com/products/residential/Kitchen-Exhaust/Exhaust-Fan-Controls/Fantech-Speed-and-Fan-Controls
Asked on 2017-02-05 by Joe
|Q: In what order is this installed out the roof? Is the motor first then the silencer?
A: The silencer is placed between the kitchen and the motor. Its meant to silence the motor noise coming back to the kitchen. See here: http://www.hvacquick.com/sysbuilder/kitchenbuild.php
Asked on 2016-04-15 by Les
|Q: Is a hood required in a kitchen? Or can I just mount a ceiling exhaust in the vaulted ceiling above an island cook top?
A: We see the no-hood setup all the time. They work great. You should oversize the fan a bit since the capture efficiency is not as good as a hood directly over a stove. Also, check with your local building department to make sure they do not have any special local requirements. Feel free to call us at 877-711-4822 if you want to go over the sizing in detail. Thanks.
Asked on 2014-10-11 by John
|Q: Can this Ventilation Kit be connected with Microwave Exhaust System instead of the plain exhaust hoods?
A: Yes, adapters are available to transition the outlet to a pipe that will hook to these fans.
Asked on 2014-08-07 by Maggie
|Q: I currently have a very loud fan through the wall as my kitchen exhaust system. How much work will be involved in installing this system? Carpenters? roofers? and electricians?
A: Minimally the electrician and roofer...Also, there will need to be attic near the kitchen as that is where the mechanical are located. The work wont be too involved, but it does depend on the existing infrastructure.
Asked on 2014-05-03 by ny
|Q: What is the sone rating for the ASKI-42?
A: Varies by install, but less than 5 when done correctly. The silencer and some distance help tremendously.
Asked on 2014-03-25 by Jeff
|Q: I have a tapered square opening in my kitchen ceiling leading to a square duct work through the attic to the roof. Will the ASKI 36 model work with this existing opening? What additional parts do I need? TY
A: This, and all our other kitchen kits would use round duct. The duct would need to be changed or adapted to round for a section to accommodate the fan and silencer.
Asked on 2014-02-18 by Mary
|Q: hi, Im trying to get the right exhaust fan for a 36 venthood that has a 460 cfm motor. the lenght of the ventilation duct is about 11 horizontal and 12 vertical and it will have 2 90s
A: That size hood will likely have a 8 inch connection, so the TD200 would both fit and provide the desired CFM
Asked on 2013-08-09 by Carlos
|Q: Will this system work with a downdraft through the floor system? I want to replace my existing fan in a Jenn air ( not powerful enough).
A: It will work, but be sure to get enough CFM as the downdraft theory is flawed. Always better to capture from above.

Some of my other online buddies were afraid of the picture of the octopus! My husband apparently thought I would be afraid of the octopus, too. He had the fishmonger wrap it up for us while I was off picking up fancy olive oil. After which he attempted to chase me down the pasta aisle waving the thing at me. It was an alarming sight, really, but only because of the manic look he had on his face.
I'm just not afraid of octopus.
Here's what I am afraid of: bumpy airplane rides. Phone calls at 3 AM from my mom's caretaker. Donald Trump actually getting elected. And, it would seem, the period of time in between submitting my revisions to my editor and the publication of my new novel. My first novel.
I've published lots of poetry. That's not scary. Well, actually, the launch for my first poetry book was scary, but only because I had to do a reading organized by a friend of my parents and my parents showed up. And there was a question and answer period and my aunt asked me questions and that felt kinda squishy-weird.
This is different. I want to be the A plus star student for my publisher, the wildly enthusiastic girl in the front row with all the answers, the one who likes school so much she shows up a half an hour early. Lisa Simpson. I want to be Lisa Simpson. I really want to get this right.
And so I LABORED over my first set of revisions, really sweated the rewriting I did, wondered about every single darn word, probably overthought everything. Even with the MS back to them, I keep thinking about it and wondering if I've left a hole in the plot, imagine what it will feel like to get a mean review, imagine dreaded comments sections...but I know it's a good book. It's the best book I could possibly have written. I know that.
It's funny what some people find scary!
It'll be OK. It really will. In the world of cooking octopus, I'm at the simmer-it-for-an-hour first stage. I'm not at the marinate-it-a-little-and-grill-it-until-a-little-crisp stage.
You know, there's nothing scary about cooking octopus.
In fact, here's how you do it: take octopus, more than you think you need because it's good and it cooks down a bit. Simmer it in water to which you've added a couple of bay leaves and peppercorns and a clove or two of garlic. This takes anywhere from 40 minutes to an hour, although I'd check it after half an hour. When it's fork-tender, pull it out and put it in a bowl with some lemon juice and olive oil and maybe a little chopped oregano and parsley. Cut it into dealable-with serving pieces. Toss it on the charcoal or gas grill outside (which you've gotten good and hot) and turn it a few times to crisp it a bit. Serve it, either sliced into smaller pieces or not. It's good as a starter, a main course in salad or pasta, or plain. The stock you get from simmering it is useful in seafood soups and pasta sauces, too.
Book's coming soon! I'll be ringing that dinner bell shortly!

BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN – Government agencies will soon be able to share information through a centralised database, the minister at the Prime Minister's Office disclosed during the Legislative Council meeting on Tuesday.
According YB Dato Seri Setia Hj Awang Abdul Mokti Hj Mohd Daud, the E-Government National Centre (EGNC) is currently building a system dubbed the National Centralised Database (NCDB) that will allow agencies to share data on a range of matters, including welfare assistance programmes.
"The system will be implemented in phases to ensure welfare guidelines and the database can be aligned, in addition to ensuring assistance is given to those eligible with no duplication," the minister said.
Members of the public will also be able to make online applications for welfare assistance, with the authorities hoping it will speed up the payment process. The system is expected to be operational by September.
The centralised database will be set up in collaboration with Dynamik Technologies, and can be accessed by agencies involved in welfare assistance such as the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sports and the Brunei Islamic Religious Council.
"The system is currently in its initial phase where focus is on data collection and profiling of beneficiaries," said YB Dato Seri Setia Hj Awang Abdul Mokti.
Under the NCDB, there will also be a National Information Hub that will contain general data on names, addresses and identification card numbers.
The NCDB will introduce a new service called "Database as a Service", that aims to help reduce government spending.
The minister was responding to a question from LegCo member YB Siti Rozaimeriyanty Dato Seri Laila Jasa Awang Hj Abdul Rahman, who called for the establishment of a centralised and digitised database as the country works towards becoming a "smart nation".
She said the database would help Brunei maximise its digital economic potential and improve the process of data protection and security.
"It is a requirement [for us] to remain relevant and at the same time prepare for any implications that arise from technological development," she said.
During the session, the Minister of Transport and Infocommunications also announced the establishment of a Digital Economy Council.
"The council is established to replace the Brunei Information Technology Council, formed in 2000 and led the development of the country's ICT sector," YB Dato Seri Setia Awang Abdul Mutalib Pehin Orang Kaya Seri Setia Dato Paduka Hj Mohammad Yusof.
"The council will play a special role in developing the country towards becoming a Smart Nation," he added.

Busy Little Bee... and Inspired by JK Rowling (again)....
I'm already figuring out the set up of my first booth ever and all the fun things I want to offer--Gift certificates, email sign up sheet, maybe a drawing???

Congrats on the booth! That's awesome. I did a craft show a couple of years ago and really enjoyed it. I hope it's a success for you!ReplyDelete
JK Rowling is such an inspiration for so many of us. Just amazing!
I was a part of a photo booth once :) I was one of Santa's elves. I caught that interview, too! It was awesome. I swear I could sit and just absorb everything she said a million times and not get tired. (and I'd probably still nod along to what she's saying each time she says it)ReplyDelete
I'd love to have a craft booth sometime Jen!ReplyDelete
Bethany - it's not so much a booth for TAKING photographs... I'm just promoting my services for portraits. :) But being an elf sounds fun!
Congratulations on the booth!! That's fantastic!!! I can't wait to hear how it turns out! Your photos are amazing so I know you'll do well! I'm glad to know you're staying busy and I'm sure you'll do what you need to pay for the booth!ReplyDelete
Happy decorating!
J.K. Rowling is a force to be reckon with, she's amazing! I still have the recording on my DVR to watch when I'm feeling down. She's very inspirational.
I'm a little lacking in the blogging arena right now, too.ReplyDelete
Cool that you'll have a booth! I always thought of doing that when I was taking pro photos full time. Our photo club does have a big show next month and I've three pieces entered.
I was one of Santa's elves at our PTA photo booth too :)ReplyDelete
Keep on writing!
Didn't catch that interview, but you're right, her story is so inspiring. A craft fair? How exciting! Hope you get lots of customers!!ReplyDelete
Making Life a Work of Art!
I missed the interview on TV, but I found it on YouTube! It was a wonderful interview. I love what she said about failure, how it's an important stepping stone to success, and everything she said about the significance and power of imagination. She's a beautiful speaker, too! Chooses her words carefully, thinks before she speaks... It was a lovely, inspirational interview.ReplyDelete
And I must say, her success will definitely be repeated some day. Perhaps not in our lifetime, but it will be repeated. Everything that happens once can and probably will happen again!

I just watched JK Rowling's interview on youtube, and am in awe of her. She's my biggest author crush -- I wish I could do even a tenth of what she does with Harry Potter, not financially, but rather how much the series touches every reader, including me. :)ReplyDelete

Track Detective
Teaching the Characteristics of Animals
Jeff Wolin
This song is available on Jeff Wolin's In Your Backyard.
Do you like wild animals?
Do you wanna know where they live?
Well, if you want to know where the animals go
Than I have some advice to give
You see, I'm a track detective, I'm trackin' animals all the time
And if you want to know where the critters all go
Well, you'd better get yourself outside
And we'll track track track in the mud
Track track track in the sand
Track track track in the snow
Then we'll know where the critters go!
Oooh, oooh, ooh do da dada do da Track Detective
Oooh oooh, ooh do da dada do da Track Detective
Animals leave clues behind, like footprints feathers and trails
There's a nest in a tree, a chewed-up leaf
Some snake has shed its scales
We're gonna prowl like the wise old owl
Observing and always aware
We'll move without a sound, look around up and down
And the animals won't know were there
We'll learn to see what the animals see
And move like the animals move
You'll be a track detective so you'll all have the clues
And you'll know that it's easy to do

CC7A :: Soft Summer Hues
I confess that I had originally designed my cabochon #3 as my piece for this month, but I ended up posted it early. Truth be told, I posted it and then remembered several days later that I meant to reveal it for this hop. It was too late to switch it around! That is exactly how distracted I've been lately.
Ah well, I did have a plan B. I had also made a sweet pair of earrings in the color pallet using a beautiful pair of headpins by Genea that I could not resist buying. I love the celery green color mixed with earthy colors. It just feels like summer to me. I really love her headpins, and all those silvery additions to the beads were perfect for me to add just a touch silver fringe to bring it out.
Be sure to check out everyone else's creations this month: Alicia, Christine, Therese, Sally, and Monique.

By Pat Hutchinson, District Manager, Newtownabbey CAB
Q: Someone has been going from door to door on my street and I'm concerned they might not be a legitimate trader. What should I do?
A: As a general rule it is worth trusting your instincts - if an offer sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
Scammers often use cold calling and doorstep sales to target victims, so before agreeing to anything or signing anything first tell someone you trust about the offer. Having this conversation with a family member, friend, or a good neighbour could stop you from losing money.
If a trader is offering you a deal take a moment to check out their details. Ask the trader if they belong to a professional organisation, and if they say they do, then phone the organisation or look on their website to check this is true.
Don't agree to a deal on the spot that you have any reason to doubt.
Legitimate traders should be happy for you to take their details and say you need more time to make a decision.
Avoid handing over money before a job is started.
A reliable trader won't ask you to do this as they should have the money to cover materials until they are paid.
If you are concerned about an offer, think you may have been caught out by a rogue trader, or are concerned for a neighbour, report it to the police and also to Action Fraud.
More information is available by contacting Consumerline on 0300 123 6262 or by calling the Quick Check freephone line on 0800 013 2290.

Gamification of the Dar Si Hmad Fog Water Harvesting Project in Morocco: Creating a role-playing course to integrate STEM and the Humanities
Faculty Advisor
Dodson, Leslie Lynn
Faculty Advisor
Krueger, Robert
Our team created a role-playing curriculum based on the world's largest fogwater harvesting project, pioneered by Dar Si Hmad, a Moroccan NGO. We created processes to gamify a course that integrates STEM and humanities content within the social, scientific and engineering context of the fog project. We developed characters, team activities and assignments to help students better understand social and cultural factors embedded in engineering problems. We also developed material for the NGO to use at the COP22 climate conference.

Heroic Naki'o: Every Path Has Its Puddle….
Naki'o is a heart-warming documentary short film directed by Aaron Pendergast in association with New District Productions, which tells the heroic story of a courageous abandoned puppy. When Naki'o was a small puppy, he was deserted during a frigid Nebraska winter in the basement of a foreclosed home along with his mother. The drastically low winter temperatures and starvation took the mother's life; but Naki'o, despite being frozen in a puddle of ice water, miraculously survived. His survival, however, came at a tragic cost: by the time he was rescued by Colorado's All Aboard Animal Rescue, Naki'o had lost all four paws and the tip of his tail to frostbite.
As soon as Christie Pace, a veterinary technician who lives in Colorado Springs, saw Naki'o's picture, she knew that she had fallen in love with him. "When I got him he was 8 weeks, 4 pounds, and he was missing patches of fur because he had mange. But, he was just such a happy guy," Pace said. While she knew Naki'o was missing all four paws, as well as part of his tail and nose, she also believed that she would be able to find a solution down the road.
Thanks to Pace, the wounds healed into stumps. Although his lack of paws did not seem too much of a hurdle when Naki'o was just a small puppy, trouble began as he grew bigger and Naki'o found himself unable to support his own weight with his stumps. Pace raised money to pay for prosthetic devices for Naki'o by organizing fundraisers. She then contacted OrthoPets, a US company that specializes in customizing artificial limbs and orthotic braces for animals, to create prosthetics for Naki'o. When they saw Naki'o, however, the animal hospital decided to treat him for free.
Two prosthetic devices were attached to his hind legs. Some months later, prosthetic legs were similarly fitted to his front stumps. Although Naki'o's life began in a state of heart-wrenching tragedy, he's now a happy, high-spirited dog, who is able to run, jump, play games and even go swimming.

GPS Fish Finder Combo Units
Suggestions and information that can assist you select the best fish finder in your bass fishing needs. For greatest outcomes, power provide needs to be a separate 12-24 volt deep cycle battery. When you will have the fitting fish finder for you, you will notice the differences between fishing with and with out one. You will discover the right route for locating the fish and spend less time wondering where they're. Once you get your fish finder, chances are you'll wonder what you have to do to verify it works appropriately.
They've a display or display that matches onto your boat and provides you the information you could catch more fish. To seek out the precise fish finder for you, understanding what area you are planning on using it in will lead to more catches. As we talked about, the energy of a fish finder is in how well it might probably find the fish, which is why you want a high-high quality transducer.
One downside of such a powerful fish finder is its lack of map creation software. The one actual detractors of the Gen3 HDS-7 Perception fish finder are the price and the potential for overkill. Fish finders are a wonderful device that can improve the fishing experience, and assist you to catch extra fish. The one downside is that it's important to swap between menus, which generally is a problem if you're trying to find fish and mark your location.
You'll obtain all of the important sonar information it's essential to show you how to fish. When we elevate the kayak the handholds aren't ample for carrying over our shoulder like we do with the Heritage Kayak. The readability of image, larger 5 inch screen, and the cut up display screen views from twin CHIRP cones make the Dragonfly 5 a best selling fish finder. The rechargeable battery ensures you at all times have a studying while you're fishing.
It has four hundred watts of PTP power output to make it one of the most powerful fish locators accessible. Whether you paddle a okayayak, float on a tube , or fire up highly effective outboard engines, there's always room for a fish finder. They'll show how far down the fish are, and the way deep the water is. A fish locator makes use of a transducer, which takes recordings of the realm close to the boat using sonar.

Charter a Private Jet Charter to the 2017 GRAMMY Awards
Each year, the brightest stars in the recording industry gather at the iconic Staples Center in Los Angeles to celebrate 'Music's Biggest Night.' The GRAMMY Awards honors the year's greatest accomplishments in the recording arts and sciences.
As the industry's most prestigious award, the guest list is spectacularly star-studded, with legends and new artists alike vying for a golden gramophone. Invariably, the evening is filled with incredible fashion, pop culture moments and — best of all — an epic lineup of musical performances.
While you can always tune in to the awards from home, there is nothing like seeing the industry's biggest stars performing live on one stage. The full list of performers has yet to be announced, but two of them are reason enough to hop on a plane: Adele and Beyoncé, both nominated for Record of the Year and Album of the Year. It's a diva showdown you can't miss.
Other nominees expected to be in attendance include Lukas Graham, Rihanna and Twenty One Pilots for Record of the Year; Justin Bieber and Sturgill Simpson for Album of the Year; and Kelsea Ballerini, The Chainsmokers, Chance the Rapper, Maren Morris and Anderson .Paak for Best New Artist.
The 59th GRAMMY Awards will take place on 12th February and will be hosted by The Late Late Show's James Corden. If his wildly popular 'Carpool Karaoke' series is any indication, we may see Corden in a performance of his own. A tribute to Prince, who passed away on 21st April 2016, is expected to be a highlight of the evening. While information is still coming in, one fact is certain: each year the GRAMMY Awards has surprises in store, and there's nothing like being there to see what happens live.
Tickets are hard to come by, but with a little luck, and the right contacts, you can walk the red carpet with the stars.

Self-Care Apps for Caregivers
08. August 2016 Self Care 0
Roundup of apps to help caregivers care for themselves
Have you ever looked at the clock and realized its 4 p.m. and you haven't had a sip of water or anything to eat? Sometimes, caregivers are so busy making sure others' needs are being met that they totally forget about their own. I've found a few free apps (except TalkSpace) that can help remind you to take care of yourself. If you don't, who will?
- TalkSpace: Are you struggling with the emotional side of caregiving but there is no way you can get out of the house to talk to a therapist? This app connects you to licensed therapists who are matched based on your needs. Once you select the payment plan that works for you, you can begin sending messages to your therapist to work through the issues you'd like to address.
- 7 Cups: A great option for a caregiver with no one to talk to. This free app lets you vent and "listeners" will respond. You can speak your mind to strangers without feeling judged.
- Plant Nanny: Do you get through a whole day without drinking any water? This free app is for you. You are a virtual plant and you receive reminders to water yourself. If you constantly skip watering, your virtual plant will get sicker and sicker, so you will feel bad about not drinking enough water.
- Affirmations: Do you need a daily reminder to stay positive? This app sends you a daily positive affirmation to read and reflect on to put you in a positive mindset.
- Guided Mind: Chose from 150 guided meditations to help you relax and deal with daily stress.
- Relax Lite: Stress and Anxiety Relief: De-stress with guided breathing exercises and calming music.
- MediSafe Meds and Pill Reminder: I'll be downloading this app for myself. Way too often I forget to take my medication in the afternoon…until I start feeling light-headed and have a headache. This app sends you reminders to take your medication. If you always have your phone nearby, it can take one more extra thing to remember out of your brain.
- Pedometer and Weight Loss: If a FitBit is out of your budget, this free app will track your steps as long as you have your phone on you.
- 7 Minute Workout: If you struggle with fitting exercise into your day (who doesn't), these 7 minute workouts may be just what you need. Just a little exercise goes a long way in health maintenance.
- Fitnet: Another free quick workout app that lets you squeeze exercise into your day. They offer 5 – 7 minute workout options.
- Yoga Wake Up: This app delivers 10 minute yoga workouts to your phone at your designated wake up time. The yoga sequences vary from meditation to holding poses so that you'll never get bored.
- MySugr: This is a very cool app for diabetics. It helps you track what you eat and if there is a food that makes you feel ill, it will find it and alert you so that you can cut it out of your diet.
I'll be adding many of these apps to my phone. I hope they'll be useful to you as well!

Inside beautiful 19th Century Methodist church converted into a stunning €1.7MILLION home complete with stained glass windows and pulpit
Transformation in Harrogate cost property developer Mark Hinchliffe €570,000 and four years graft
THIS heavenly £1.5million home was once a drab Methodist chapel - until it underwent an astonishing conversion.
Property developer Mark Hinchliffe bought it for €280,000 before lavishing four years of his time and half a million pounds on it.
It now boasts 7,851 sq ft of accommodation with a kitchen/breakfast room, orangery, drawing room, dining room, study/library and six bedrooms and six bathrooms.
The sensitive transformation saw many original features including the pulpit retained.
The chapel's main 50ft high amphitheatre was retained to create a grand drawing room at the heart of the building.
The small balcony of tiered seating on the first floor was extended to create six bedroom suites and the space left by the organ is now an impressive galleried dining room.
Its stained glass windows were restored.
The master bedroom has a double height ceiling, two stained glass windows, a private balcony and an en suite with a roll top copper bath and double sinks crafted out of fossilized wood.
The property in the heart of Harrogate, North Yorks, is just ten minutes' walk from all amenities.
Mark, 52, bought the Grade II listed church and the neighbouring Sunday school from the Methodist Council in 2013.
He converted the Sunday school into a four-bedroom home first then sold it to fund work on the chapel, which he has since run as a boutique B&B.
He said: "It had a leaking roof and water was coming through, that cost probably another £10,000 alone, and the lead in the two front windows had melted so they had to be completely rebuilt by a specialist.
"There are 1,000 pieces of glass in each window. That cost about €22,000.
"We had to chemically clean the whole building.
"It's been an epic project but it turned out exactly how I planned it in my head. Despite the high ceilings and grand size it feels homely and really cosy."
The Wesleyan Methodist Chapel was built in 1896 for €6,459 with seats for up to 1,000 people but the congregation had dropped to just 20 before it closed in 2011.
Mark is now selling it with estate agents Strutt & Parker to pursue a new project.

The Iron Knob Progress Association Website
The town of Iron Knob is situated at the foot of an iron ore mine on the North East of the Eyre Peninsula in South Australia.
Iron Knob began as a housing settlement for miners somewhere between the late 1800's to early 1900's. It is often said to be the birthplace of Australia's steel industry, and the mine is among the oldest still active in Australia.
Currently, the mine is owned and operated by Arrium Ltd. The main part of the town itself is not company land but freehold, having been proclaimed a township in February 1915. You can read more on Iron Knob's history
The town of Iron Knob has faced many changes since the mine temporarily closed between the mid 1990's to 2013. However an "Aussie Battler" spirit, and a quiet determination to not give up or in, has kept Iron Knob's community spirit not only alive, but with an eye to the future

Find me one person who dislikes old television shows.
What's not to love about the programs of the "good ole days" in their ever-improving technicolor and animation, their values and morals, clean humor, and their overall classic charm and appeal?
(In case you were wondering, my overdue absence may be blamed on lack of inspiration, travels, and college. Dramatic emphasis on the last one.)
One day, my history professor, Dr. Cheryl White, paused in the middle of a lecture about the Hundred Years War and said something so astounding that resonated with me the rest of the day: "Popular culture is a reflection of what is soon to come."
"What? What what? Seriously?"
"Yes, seriously."
We demanded an example.
She rattled off old 60's shows that everyone has seen, or at least heard of, like The Jetsons (1962) and Star Trek (1966), and I can add Dr. Who (1963) to that list. What do they have in common? Futuristic shows that project a fantastical world of bizarre and wonderful technology and advances. What happened only a few years after these shows premiered? NASA sent the first men to the moon in 1969. Plus, all the featured gadgets we loved and envied as children are now accessible to everyone! Have you seen those Samsung watches??
Class was dismissed and the pop culture topic was forgotten until she mentioned her intrigue of zombie culture the next day.
She brought up all sorts of media that features zombies, from The Walking Dead to Pride and Prejudice and Zombies to Left 4 Dead. She pointed out common elements found in most of these works: the undead; war/combat; hopelessness; and a desolate, apocalyptic landscape.
"So, what's your point, Dr. White?"
She went back to the 1960s, an age filled with hope and determination for a bright, shimmering future of robots and medicine and big ideas. The 60's was a time of possibility where everyone valued education and opportunity as doorways into the future seen on television. Look where we are today because of that mindset fifty years ago!
And now let's return to current pop culture and some of its common genres:
- Apocalypse (War of the Worlds film, 2005; The Road novel, 2006; I Am Legend film, 2007; Revolution tv series, 2012-).
- Dystopia (Hunger Games trilogy, 2008; Divergent trilogy, 2011; Elysium, 2013).
- Zombies (Shaun of the Dead, 2004; Warm Bodies novel, 2011; World War Z film, 2013;).
- Vampires (Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter novel, 2012; Hotel Transylvania, 2012; Dracula television series, 2013;).
- Werewolves (Underworld film series, 2003-; Van Helsing, 2004; Red Riding Hood, 2011).
These are the current media fixations, and if the theory is true, where does that put us ten years from now?
Five years from now?
Maybe even three?
Will our obsession with death and despair bring on supernatural creatures and widespread disaster? Maybe not. But when realistic portrayals of death and decay continuously ravage our minds, a unified mindset of pessimism and dread is born.
And what sort of future will arise from this? Fifty years from now, when our grandchildren look back, what will they say of us? I guess there's only one way to find out.
Big thanks to Dr. Cheryl White, who always has incredible insight and ideas and often shares them with us! I'm not trying to steal anything of hers, but she demands that you open your mind and think in her class. If you're in the northwestern Louisiana area, I strongly recommend taking one of her courses, attending her seminars, or purchasing her books!
