BC: This book is dedicated in memory of my loving husband, Leo. ---All My Love, Mary December 2010
FC: Leo Mathew Rowekamp | My Husband--Your Dad Our Life
1: July 3, 1922 Grandma Rowekamp was busy preparing for a picnic for the Fourth of July--dressed chicken, backed goodies, boiled potatoes for salad. Her mother, Katherine Botzet, finished the preparations as Leo decided he would put in his appearance and become an Independence Baby! Leo had white hair, so his mother called him her "little firecracker"and his white hair was the wick! | 1925--3 yrs. old | 1925--Leo and Lucille
2: The Growing Up Years | As Leo grew, he was very active and got into a lot of trouble--not from being naughty on purpose, but because he was always questioning "what if". When Leo was five or six, he took a liking to the smell of gasoline. His mother had him all ready to go to a school picnic, and he went outside to the pump house and started sniffing the gas. When his mother called him to go to the picnic, he could hear her, but could not walk a straight line--no picnic! | Then there was the day when Leo and Lucille were playing outside while their dad milked the cows. They noticed the exhaust from the milking machine coming out of the pipe from the barn, so they put a board over the end and the machine would go "puff, puff, put, put" and almost stop. Unbeknownst to them, this caused the milkers to drop off the cows. Their dad came out and put their bottoms up to the hot exhaust pipe. They didn't do that again! | 1932
3: Curiouser and curiouser... | Another time, Leo noticed the smoldering fire in the smoke house where ham and bacon were being smoked. He thought he could make a better fire than that--so he did! Soon the folks saw the flames through the smoke house door and rushed outside, grabbed the meat and threw it in buckets of water to cool it down. Leo always said, "If I got through the day without a spanking, something was wrong!" | When Leo was quite young, he drove the horses on the hay wagon. This was loose hay--not baled--and Uncle Andrew was loading the hay. When they were ready to go home with the load, they unhitched the loader and started home. The wagon tipped and Leo was buried under the hay. When he finally dug his way out, his Uncle Andrew was coming out of the nearby woods where he had gone to get a stick for a cane as he had hurt his ankle. I don't know where he thought Leo was! Leo was about eleven when he was helping his dad fix fence and a wire snapped and cut his left eyeball. At that time they had to keep him conscious while they put three stitches in his eye. He could not see very well out of that eye until he had cataract surgery when he was in his 70's. They smoothed out the scar, and he could see quite well. | 1938 | 1931
4: In the 30's, Leo trapped gophers. The county paid three cents for streaked gophers and five cents for pocket gophers. His dad paid him double that amount. The money he earned was placed in a savings account. There were many weeks that Leo made more trapping gophers than the hired man earned. Due to the Depression of the 30's, Leo's parents could no longer afford a hired man, so Leo had to stay home to work and he never went to high school. However, this didn't stop him from learning. Years later, he took a diesel engineering course by mail which got him a job driving diesel machines when the I-90 interstate was constructed. Leo even worked a night shift servicing the vehicles. Leo also took night classes on fertilizers, weed killers, farm accounting and even typing--which was a waste of time! He overhauled all the farm equipment and fixed cars and trucks. He did all of the plumbing and electrical work on the farm. | 1933--George, Leo and their Barred Rock Chickens
5: When his work was inspected, he was told it was "a better job than was required." Some people talk about "dumb farmers". Leo definitely proved them wrong! Leo and his cousin, Jim Flanagan, were good friends--not so sure about the "good" part! One time they decided to try different mixed drinks. Leo said it was the only time that he almost got drunk! Another time he and Jim put a loaded cigarette into Jim's dad's cigarette pack and waited for him to light it. However, Jim's dad was known for his temper and they soon got cold feet. Luckily, they managed to remove the cigarette before any harm was done! Unfortunately, Leo hadn't learned his lesson! At the country school's Christmas program, attended by all the neighbors, Leo put a loaded cigarette in Ed Fabian's pack. Right in the middle of the Nativity scene, it exploded! Ed sat there with the shredded cigarette in his mouth and said, "I'll be @#%@#!: Leo's mother almost disowned him! Leo loved to dance and often took his sister Lucille and her girl friends to dances at their Aunt Ethel and Uncle George's dance hall in Wyattville. There would be two dances a week and Leo would help sell tickets. | 1943--Jim Flanagan home from service!

8: Girlfriends were never a problem for Leo. He went out with many and even got engaged for a few weeks with a girl from Wisconsin. Thank goodness, it wasn't meant to be! In early May 1946, I met Leo at a rollerskating party planned by the Rural Catholic Youth Group at the Rec in Lewiston. He claims it was "love at first sight"! It took me a while longer. We began dating, but when Grandma Speltz heard about it, she said we were too closely related as my mother and Leo's mother were first cousins. We rarely got together with that side of the family as we grew up, as my mother had died when I | 1946--Mary's High School Graduation | was three. Leo remembers being at our home on the Schell farm for dinner when my mother was still alive and playing with my brother Chuck's train. He said there was a little kid running around, but girls weren't interesting at that time--so much for love at first sight!! Due to Grandma Speltz's concerns, we called it quits. But two years later, we both helped with a Rural Youth play and Leo asked me out "for old time's sake". We went to see Sammy Kay's Band in Rochester and then the trouble began. Leo was no longer satisfied by what Grandma had said, so he went to see his parish priest, Fr. Enreight. This priest sent Leo to the diocesan | 1945
9: marriage counselor who sent him to speak with a genetics doctor at the Mayo Clinic. This doctor gave Leo a letter for Grandma Speltz stating that second cousins were one generation over the danger mark for genetic problems. Father Enreight gave us permission to continue dating. Leo showed the letter to Grandma and all was okay. Of course, she liked Leo anyway as he always wore a white shirt and tie when he took me out! After a wonderful summer of companionship, Leo told me that he always felt so good after being on a date with me--almost like going to church. What a compliment! I sort of knew what he meant. When I was with him, I always felt at ease--never afraid of saying something he would take the wrong way. There were no off-color remarks from him; never a swear word. All my life with Leo, I never heard him swear. He said it was a waste of time--if you want God's help, you don't damn Him! I had found my good, Catholic farmer--just as I had prayed! On October 25th, Leo (much to my surprise--so soon!) asked me to marry him. I knew I wanted to say "YES!", but I was a junior at St. Teresa's College, and I had promised Aunt Jessie that I would stay with her for a year before I got married as a "thank you" for taking my mother's place. So I made Leo wait for my "yes". | The Engagement Story...to be continued | 1947
10: The Engagement Story (continued) | Until this time, I would not let any of my dates kiss me. I said I only wanted to kiss one man in my life and this was the one I married. The night that Leo proposed, he took my hand and kissed my palm, closed my fingers over his kiss and told me he wanted it back soon. A week later, I said "YES!", quit school and stayed home with Aunt Jessie. I never regretted that decision. On November 13, 1948, Leo and I went to a movie. Before we went in, he reached over and took a box out of the car's glove compartment. It was my very beautiful diamond engagement ring! He had bought it with the money he had earned trappring gophers for so many years. Now it was time to set a wedding date, and we chose September 14, 1949. This was the anniversary of my parent's and grandparent's weddings. It was a Wednesday... It was a beautiful day. The wedding was set at 9:00 AM--early because, at that time, Catholics fasted from midnight until Mass. I came downstairs in my wedding dress into the living room, and I heard my Grandma Speltz and my dad talking in his bedroom. She said to him, "Yes, Raymond, today we have to be alone." I began crying, but remembered that remark all my life, thinking that if every couple would realize that some day one of them might be alone and saying the same thing, they would try harder to keep their marriage special. "It takes three to get married". Always trust in God. Not trying to see what you can get from a marriage, but what you can give to it.
11: The Wedding!
14: Ferry to Coney Island and Shops | Leo and I had a one-of-kind, 16-day honeymoon. We went to Chicago, up to Canada, through Niagara Falls, Pennsylvania andNew York City where we hired a cab driver on his day off to tour us all around the city, seeing Ellis Island, Boardwalk and St. Patrick's Cathedral.
15: Pool at the new Capitol and Indian Lookout | We went on to Washington DC, the White House, Mount Vernon, Gettysburg, The National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception and elsewhere before heading back to Des Moines, Iowa to visit Aunt Olive and Uncle Joe. Here we climbed to the top of the state Capitol and visited a grotto before heading home. It was a wonderful time!
16: Married Life and Home Sweet Home | After our honeymoon, we moved into the upper floor of Leo's parent's home on the farm in Lewiston. We had three rooms upstairs--a kitchen, living room and bedroom. Leo's brother, Eugene, and the hired man shared the remaining upstairs bedroom. Our kitchen was not completed when we moved in, so we ate our meals downstairs with the rest of the family. We also shared the upstairs bathroom. It wasn't a perfect set up, but we were in love, so it worked! We had asked Leo's folks for permission to build a small house on the farm, but they wouldn't allow it. | Nine months and two days after our wedding, we happily had our baby boy, James Leo. Leo became a father two days before Father's Day and he was so proud! I remember I had Grandpa Schell buy a big flashlight for Jim to give his daddy for Father's Day. Almost a year after Jim was born, Eugene and Dorothy were married. Uh-oh! Where would they live?
17: As I was soon to have another baby, Leo's folks told Leo that we could build a house if we could construct if for under $5,000. Leo set to work on the house! In the meantime, our living room furniture was pushed into our kitchen, the hired man got the living room and Eugene and Dorothy got the big bedroom. We were back to living in the one bedroom, and we all shared our meals downstairs. The first thing that needed to be done was to remove a big walnut tree stump where we planned to locate the house. Leo decided to use dynamite (which he was not too familiar with) to remove the stump. He set the blast, and the stump flew up over the main house and hatchery and landed near the barn. Leo said the stump sounded like an airplane propeller going through the air! He also learned to put the powder on the opposite side of where you wanted the stump to go. Leo went up north to get wholesale lumber and hired a man who did construction to get the project going. However, there was only $500 in outside labor. Leo did all the wiring and plumbing for the 24'x30', story and a half house. On the main floor, there was a small kitchen, living room, two bedrooms, bathroom and closets everywhere we could fit them. We did not finish the upstairs until much later. The floors were all linoleum, and we did it for under $5,000--right on budget and doing much of the work at night. Years later, we finished the upstairs with two more bedrooms with built-in cupboards and drawers under the eaves and a very tiny bathroom. We moved into the new house the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, 1951. What a happy day! I remember we had Mrs. Grass's soup and bread that first meal, but it seemed like we had quite a feast! Eugene and Dorothy took over our old rooms in the main house, and we could all breathe easier! Amazing as it may seem, we all survived quite well and still spoke to one another!
18: And then there were four! | Mary Lee Rowekamp Born July 1, 1951 | November 1951 | Before we moved into our new house, we welcomed our first daughter, Mary Lee, who soon became Daddy's girl. As she grew older, she was helpful, spiteful at times, but still very loving and capable. As the oldest girl, she had many responsibilities in a family of 13 kids!
19: Our next addition was John Raymond who was born on Christmas Day, 1952. He arrived with the deepest dimples I ever saw on a baby, and he still has them! John was, and is, our quiet one with a heart of gold. | June 1952 | Helen Marie was born on May 15, 1954--another beautiful baby to be proud of! She was cute as a button with blonde curly hair and a smile that melted any heart. | Christmas 1954
20: Livin life to the fullest | Betty Jean's birthday is on 6-5-1957. She was a honey and a Mommy's baby. She was the worrier of the family. Her favorite question was, "But why?" | September 1956 | Rose Ann was born 1-31-1956. She was a very excitable baby and would hold her breath until she passed out--thank goodness she got over that! | Christmas 1957
21: Donna May's birthday is 5-13- 1960. She was the cut-up of the crew as a baby and young child. All I have to do to prove my point is look at the family picture album! | September 1959 | Dorothy Jane was born on 9-15-1958, and Leo was happy to get the "new baby" instead of the "hand-me- down" when Betty Jean refused to give up Mommy's lap! | November 1961
22: Next was Teresa Lynn on November 20, 1961. She was a little sweetheart with a big smile and a soft heart. | September 1964 | June 1962 | Pauline Louise came along on June 24, 1963. She fit in with our growing family just fine. She was usually slow to scrap and willing to agree.
23: Joe was an easy-going baby who had a grin from early on that gets him out of trouble! | Seven girls in a row and Dr. Hawk thought we threw away the blueprint for boys! Joseph George was born on September 14, 1964, our anniversary. | Joan Susan, our little blonde curly head, was born on 1-16-1966. Needless to say with so many big sisters, she was a little spoiled! | It's a BOY!!! | March 1966 | Summer 1965
24: Be careful what you ask God for. He usually gives you more than you ask if He approves! Three years after our prayed-for dozen kids, we had Catherine Rae on Valentine's Day, 1969. When the family came to the hospital to see her, the nurse brought her to the window of the nursery, and John said, "I hoped that one was ours!" Another spoiled, but well-loved baby! You may wonder why I'm writing about each of you when I'm writing about Dad. It is because you were Dad's life. He loved each of you so much and would have done anything for any one of you, as I'm sure you know. He was so proud of our great family, and I am too!
25: Love | May 1967 | November 1960 | July 1956 | September 1977
26: All this writing and I haven't even mentioned 4-H or our animals! What a big part 4-H had in our lives! Not just the learning part, but the neighborhood togetherness. The county and state fairs were big projects with Leo usually hauling cattle up and back to the fair. I remember one year after the kids got their checks from the county fair, they pooled their money and had my diamond engagement ring reset as it had worn through. Another time they used their funds to plan a big surprise 25th wedding anniversary party for us and, under Mary Lee's direction, saved money in a savings account to send Leo and me to Hawaii--a place Leo had always wanted to go. Is it any wonder why Leo and I are so proud of our new generation?!? Now for the pets--both large and small! One year Leo caught a baby rabbit when he was cutting hay and brought it home for the kids. Peter became a winter house rabbit for two years. One spring before Easter, the kids went to the sales barn with Leo and came home with a big white rabbit which they named "Happy" as it was so close to Easter...cost Dad 50 cents. I think it was Rose Ann who went with Dad to deliver some chickens and came home with a rat terrier, Tiny. He became a permanent pet for many years. | Simple fun!
27: It seemed like our home was known as the one with the family who loved animals as many dogs and cats seemed to be dropped off here. At one time, we had about 40 cats! Then there were our ponies and horses--all 15 of them. Cookie, King and Duchess were a few of them--they were all dearly loved. Our dogs were Pal, Prince, Tipper, Jeannie, Boppy and Brownie to name a few. And of course, Max, our house dog for 14 years. We inherited all our dogs from one place or another. We now had a horse path around the big house, plus baseball to the east, volleyball in the front yard, horse shoe near the driveway and a big round stock tank for swimming. The hatchery had been turned into a game room with 4x4 painted on the floor in one room and a pool table standing in the other. The hatchery was a good place for 4-H meetings and card parties. Mary Lee and Helen both had their wedding receptions there. Many times on Sundays we would all pack into our station wagon and go on a drive to see where this road would take us. Quite often we had a picnic lunch, and at least once every spring we would do down to the valley to get watercress. One time Pauline thought the cress was grass and tried walking on it! We would have a picnic lunch and the kids would go wading in the larger creek. The kids weren't supposed to get wet, but they always did. This became an annual affair, and even after some of the kids were married, we would go down to the creek. What a great day!
28: Through the years, our farming style changed. We closed the hatchery as large flocks were becoming common, and the farmers with small flocks that we serviced had moved dairy calves into the chicken houses as this was more profitable. We still had 3,500 laying hens, but as time went on, we went into a small beef herd first and then into a dairy herd. We changed our barn into a California-style parlor with 12 stanchions. The kids were happy, as they said, "Cows have much more personality than chickens!" | Leo and I bought the 100 acre farm north of the home farm as Grandpa Rowekamp was not ready to sell us his farm, and we needed more income. If worst came to worst, we would move there, farm the 100 acres, have a few cows and Leo would get an outside job. When we had ten children, Leo's folks finally sold us the home farm, but remained living in the big house for three more years. For the first three years of running the farm on our own, we had two years of heavy hail and one year of severe drought. What a way to start out! At the time that the folks moved to Winona, we had eleven kids living in our 24' x 30' home! When the folks moved, the kids took it upon themselves to move their bedrooms into the big house. What a fun time they had! As the years passed, the farm east of ours came up for sale, and we bought it. We now had 445 beautiful acres! It was this same year that Leo's knee was smashed by a cow. He was in therapy and on crutches for over five months. Thank goodness for our sons and daughters who always pitched in and helped so well! | The Farm of a Lifetime...
29: Soon after, the farm crisis hit the nation. Our farm operation had been valued at $1,000,003. A year and a half later, we couldn't sell it for $450,000. Our equity was gone. We were forced to sell the cattle when prices were low. Interest rates on the farm had risen to 22%. We rented the farm out for a few years to try to make ends meet, but eventually we lost it and had to auction it off July 1985. It was a hard time, but Leo accepted it as God's will. He reasoned that we had a great farm to raise our family on, and it was wonderful. We had a great life. As we left the farm after a lifetime, we had $5,000 and a handful of bills, but the greatest family anyone could hope for! | It was some time later that our two double-story chicken coops (now holding heifers) caught on fire. We think it was caused by a dust explosion as there was no live electricity in the building. To get the cattle out of the coops, John took the loader tractor and tore out the back of the coop saving all but one heifer. The kids grabbed the little calves and brought them into the hatchery for safety. The result of the fire was the building of a new modern calf barn. | The next farm improvement was to replace our original barn which had been converted into a dairy parlor and calf pens. The dairy standards had changed, and if we wanted to continue selling Grade A milk, we had to upgrade the facilities. John and Leo did most of the designing for the 80 cow tie stall barn, feeding barn and silos. When the new set up was completed, we bought 30 new cows to add to our existing herd and started milking in the new barn and it was great! | ...The Lifetime of a Farm
30: Several years after losing the farm, we realized that it was a blessing in disguise. We had moved into an apartment in Lewiston, bought the old laundromat, and set up our woodworking and saw sharpening business. We took our work to many craft shows, and now feel that we have some of our work in every state of the union. Of course, our kids were our best customers! We now had time to go to daily Mass, deliver Meals on Wheels to shut-ins, become caretakers at St. Rose of Lima Church--things we were too busy to do before. And, of course, we c could visit our children, grandchildren and great grandchildren! We now had 38 grand- children and 16 great-grandchildren! Leo had many choice sayings to share with our family such as, "Always tell the truth. Then you never have to try very hard to remember what you said." "No deal is a good deal unless it's a fair deal." "It's what you are on the inside that counts." | Fourth of July, 2008 | June 2000
31: I don't think anyone could have had a better husband than I did. No one dared to say anything against me, or they were in trouble if Leo heard about it. Whenever he was hospitalized for something or another, he would always tell the nurses what a great wife he had. "Everybody should be so lucky", he would say. Upon learning of this after the first few times, when I would come to visit, I'd tell the nurses, "You thought I'd have wings to hear Leo talk, didn't you?" Talking back to Mom and Dad was never an option. Complaining to Mom about Dad or to Dad about Mom was also a no-no. Mom and Dad always stuck together. It made life so much simpler. The rosary was a big part of our lives., and from the beginning, our whole family went to Mass and any extra services every week. Leo had a rule that there was no eating or toys during church services as we went to church to talk to God. Jim was the hardest to convince of these rules. However, train the first child, and the next are easier. This goes for many things in life. | Making Memories | 1955--Lake Mille Lacs | 1955--Lake Mille Lacs | 2008
32: As the kids--boys and girls--were able to help more with chores, milking, etc., Leo took on part- time jobs for extra income. As I already mentioned, he worked on I-90 for two years, worked full- and part-time at the St. Charles Welding Shop, worked for Tony Speltz on silo unloaders and farm work and drove a school bus after the kids had graduated--something that still shocks our kids! But he loved it! Over the years, Leo did so many other things as well. Being president of the Legion of Mary for nine years for the eastern half of the Winona Diocese was quite an honor, and he did so well at it. He was also president of the Farmers Union, a school board member, Soil Conservation Committee member, FFA board member, a charter member of SEMCAC, serving on the board for 27 years, charter member of the Lewiston Lions Club and its last original surviving member. When Leo died, the Lion's Club made and donated six picnic tables to the Lewiston Park in his name. He received a 40-year award from the DFL, but we parted company with the party over the abortion issue. He helped begin Land Stewardship in Winona County. Leo served on the LSP State Board for years and served on the National Board. Leo was also on the State Poultry Board. | 1973--New Parlor | 2007
33: I've written about a few samples of our lives together, but enough to tell you of the happy life that we had. In 2006, I noticed Leo having problems. He always loved talking to people who came to the shop, but now he avoided it. I noticed how he would re-measure projects many times and still make mistakes. He began having headaches, stomach aches, nervous legs, etc. One day Father Marreddy stopped at the shop and told us that we had spent all of our life working, now it was time to sell the shop and have time for ourselves. Much to my surprise and relief, Leo agreed. After the shop was sold, Leo set up a little wood shop in our apartment garage, but he was never able to use it. His dementia was taking hold. Heart problems increased and he ended up in the hospital, but the doctors advised against surgery in Leo's case. From this time on, he had few good days and I could never leave him alone. Confusion continued and he would want to go out to check on the cows, afraid that the pipes would freeze or they needed hay. Every morning after breakfast, we would pray the rosary and I'd read prayers. This was his best time; he would relax and often go to sleep in his chair. | July 2008 | May 2009
34: Leo was 87 years old and 10 days when he passed away. We had been married 59 years and 10 months. | May 2009 | Following Easter 2009, it was decided that Leo would move to The Villa in Lewiston. Needless to say, this wasn't what I wanted, but Leo's needs were greater than I could provide for him at home. To see a man with Leo's talents and personality steadily decline was hard to witness. The man who once could do everything, could now do nothing and felt so miserable most of the time. It was so hard leaving him there, and one night he said to me, "If I could only sleep with you one more night." One of the family, usually Helen or Donna May, stayed with me all of the time now. We knew Leo's time was near. He often laid with his eyes closed and unaware of his surroundings, but making the Sign of the Cross or mouthing the words to Our Father or Hail Mary. Leo once again received the Last Rites from Fr. Mareddy. At 12:35 AM in the early morning hours of July 14th, Helen was with Leo and called me to come to the Villa. When I got there, Leo had his eyes open and looked right into mine. I prayed with him and told him it was okay to go to Heaven and see Mary Lee and Jim, but that he should keep a spot for me. Slowly his breathing stopped, and the words, "Welcome, my good and faithful servant. Now enter into My Kingdom" went through my mind. Leo was gone, and I closed his eyes. At that moment, I was so envious of him. Leo was given what we all want. One of the last notes that Leo wrote to himself was, "Ask God for His help every day. Every day!" This Leo did until the moment he died.
35: Leo's funeral was held on July 18th, and all the kids, grandkids and great grandchildren were present. Although very difficult for us who loved him so much, the day was just what Leo always said a funeral should be--a celebration of a life--his life. More plentiful than the tears were the stories and laughter shared by family and friends who were a living testament to the wealth that was Leo's life. A better legacy would be impossible to find...and I know that he was grinning down at us. I miss him. The special way that Leo always said "Mary". Never honey or sweetheart--always his special "Mary". I miss the way he always looked for me across a room or the feel of his hand in mine at Mass, his body next to mine at night. Or even his straightening of my bra straps as I got dressed. Two months short of our 60th anniversary, and now "I am alone". The strange part is that ever since Leo died, I have never felt alone. I wake up at night feeling him next to me. I feel his presence with me always. I am never lonely and love silence. I love the quiet with my own memories. | You, Dear Lord, brought us together in the Sacrament of Marriage. May the love which we shared on earth, find its ultimate meaning in the joy of Heaven and our reunion with You. Amen
36: Leo Rowekamp July 4, 1922- July 14, 2009 A Well-Spent Life

text: OCEANSIDE — Paulette Thompson, an elementary school principal accused of stealing thousands of dollars from the Oceanside Unified School District, pleaded guilty Jan. 5 to charges relating to the crime. Thompson, 59, admitted to one count each of grand theft and misappropriation of public funds in connection to stealing more than $50,000 between 2005 and 2008 from the district and Parent-Teacher Organization. In accordance to her plea agreement, prosecutors dismissed 17 other charges relating to the crime, including identify theft and grand theft charges. Thompson, who has been with the Oceanside Unified School District since 1990, faces up to three years and eight months in prison, Deputy District Attorney Robert Eichler said. A Feb. 4 sentencing date was set. Because the plea agreement contains a Harvey waiver, Eichler said that the judge can take into account all of the charges for her sentence and for determining a restitution amount. Eichler said the plea deal gives "sufficient parameters" for an appropriate sentence and a chance for the victims to receive full restitution. "She's admitted to her criminal behavior," the prosecutor said. He added that he would be asking the judge to require Thompson to fully reimburse the district. While Eichler said he couldn't comment about what Thompson used the money for, he said that information would likely come out at her sentencing. Last August, criminal charges were filed against Thompson after the PTO at Reynolds Elementary came across discrepancies in their books, Steve Lombard, a spokesman for Oceanside Unified School District, said after Thompson's September arraignment hearing. Thompson has been on administrative leave from her duties as principal at Reynolds Elementary since February while her case was being investigated, Lombard has said. During her tenure with the district, Thompson was also the principal at San Luis Rey Elementary and worked as a teacher, Lombard said. She remains out of custody on her own recognizance, Eichler said.

Self-love tip of the Day: When you are feeling something…really feel it! You have no idea the incredible resource your emotions are. Internationally known for her empowering approach to women's health and wellness Dr. Christiane Northrup says: "You have to feel it to heal it."
I wanted to exercise last week and my music machine wasn't working for me. I got more and more impatient. I wound up yelling at the machine and breaking my Madonna's Greatest Hits CD. Now that was productive, wasn't it? LOL. Actually…it was. I learned a lot when I stopped and listened to what my body and my impatience were telling me. I realized how destructive and pointless my impatience was. But you know what? I may not have seen that so clearly if I hadn't allowed myself to get so upset.
Women have been taught by society to be "unemotional" to get ahead. Good practical advice. You don't want to be breaking things at board meetings! But there's truth and learning in all our emotions: even the unpleasant ones. Our bodies are screaming for us to deal with it. Can you imagine what a lifetime of tamping down negative emotions can do to a person? If we don't listen to those emotions, we can't learn what's bothering us and then we can't solve the problem. The problem keeps getting buried deeper and deeper in our bodies. Then, since we don't learn anything, the problem grows. Slowly, over time, you start dealing with negative emotions in a not so productive way.
What did I learn from breaking that CD? When I stopped to listen to my impatience, I realized how patient I was with everyone I cared about. I'm loving, understanding and always encourage them so they can succeed. The perfect cheerleader. Why couldn't I be my own cheerleader? The impatience told me I needed to be more patient with myself.
Now when things aren't going right I slow down and breathe. I give myself a hug by doing something that makes me feel good. It may be a nice hot shower, putting on some lip-gloss, dancing to a fun song. Then I'm off to the races again. Happy, focused and motivated in my tasks for the day.
This took practice, ladies. Just like savoring and celebrating yourself. Embracing the negative in you and seeing the message within takes practice. Investment in yourself— investment in your inner Goddess. So practice giving yourself a break. The next time you are pissed off, sad, impatient, exhausted beyond words, do something pleasurable for yourself. Relax and realize your body is telling you something.
I'm going to frame that Madonna CD. Why? To celebrate my impatience. My impatience has taught me so much. Thank you impatience! Love, Goddess

Two tornado warnings were issued and then cancelled for parts of Massachusetts and New Hampshire Saturday.
Severe thunderstorm warnings also impacted much of New England over the course of the day, leaving some without power.
Tornado warnings were in effect in Worcester County, Franklin County, Essex County and Middlesex County in Massachusetts, as well as Hillsborough County, New Hampshire. Although they were cancelled, severe thunderstorm warnings continued to impact those counties into the evening.
Severe thunderstorm warnings also impacted parts of Connecticut and Maine.
In Somerville, Massachusetts, a tree landed on a street, bringing down power lines and landing on a Jeep.
"When I first came out, the street was blocked off by a tree that was down," said resident Sean Sullivan. "Suddenly, the shower of sparks just came up from the ground, from the live wires on the ground."
Some remained without power on Sunday morning, the majority of them being in Essex County, which is located north of Boston along the coast of Massachusetts.
Thankfully, no actual tornadoes were reported Saturday. But the National Weather Service reminds anyone in areas impacted by tornado warnings not to wait until they see one - people should take cover in a basement or the lowest part of a sturdy building and stay away from windows.
If you are outside during a tornado warning, seek shelter and protect yourself from debris.

This strata recipe is perfect for people on a gluten-free or dairy-free diet. From Beth at the blog Tasty Yummies, the Sausage and Kale Waffle Strata makes a hearty breakfast sure to get your morning off on the right foot. This is also a great choice if you need to serve breakfast to other people, such as visiting relatives.
You can make your own waffle alternatives if people have dietary restrictions, or use the store-bought Ancient Grain Waffles from Van's. The layered casserole ("savory bread pudding meets a frittata") substitutes gluten-free waffles for the traditional bread. The strata recipe calls for eggs, milk, kale, ground sausage and cheese. If you are vegetarian, you can easily remove the meat component or use a veggie option. The cheese is optional and non-dairy milk can easily be incorporated as well.

The Lions of Al-Rassan by Guy Gavriel Kay
The ruling Asharites of Al-Rassan have come from the desert sands, but over centuries, seduced by the sensuous pleasures of their new land, their stern piety has eroded. The Asharite Empire has splintered into decadent city-states lead by warring petty kings. King Almalik of Cartada is on the ascendancy, aided always by his friend and advisor, the notorious Ammar ibn Khairan – poet, diplomat; soldier – until a summer afternoon of savage brutality changes their relationship forever.
Meanwhile, in the north, the conquered Jaddites' most celebrated – and feared – military leader, Rodrigo Belmonte, driven into exile, leads his mercenary company south.
In the dangerous lands of Al-Rassan, these two men from different worlds meet and serve – for a time – the same master. Sharing their interwoven fate – and increasingly torn by her feelings – is Jehane, the accomplished court physician, whose own skills play an increasing role as Al-Rassan is swept to the brink of holy war, and beyond.
Hauntingly evocative of Medieval Spain, The Lions of Al-Rassan is both a brilliant adventure and a deeply compelling story of love, divided loyalties, and what happens to men and women when hardening beliefs begin to remake – or destroy – a world.
The Lions of Al-Rassan is novel written by acclaimed Canadian author Guy Gavriel Kay. It is complex, often beautifully written tale drawing on the Spanish Reconquista for inspiration. Although the races in the book have new names, they are in fact well known to us – the Jaddites are Christians, the Asharites are Muslims and the Kindath are the Jews. The story centres on the relationships of Belmonte, Khairan and Jehane and how the imminent war affects them all.
One by one, through the course of a scorching hot, cloudless summer's afternoon, the elite of Fezanan society made their way along that dark, cool tunnel, and then, dazzled by the return to sunlight, followed the herald's ringing proclamation of their names into the white courtyard where they were slain. The Muwardis had been carefully chosen. No mistakes were made. No one cried out.
From: The Lions of Al-Rassan - Chapter: One
The characters are well rounded and created with depth. The narrative is evenly paced and told from the perspective of the individuals at its heart. The ending to the book is a slight disappointment and could have done with being curtailed by approximately fifty pages but this does not detract from the overall excellence of the book.
The Lions of Al-Rassan takes a while to get going but you will be amply rewarded for your patience. This is what is known as historical fantasy and there are few better exponents of this genre than Guy Gavriel Kay.
This is a grand novel with the scope of Lawrence of Arabia and the immediacy of today's Mideastern headlines. Des Moines – Sunday Register

The Lions of Al-Rassan reader reviews
Kristin from USA
Few books have brought me to tears as much as this one. An epic tale of love and loss. If their countrymen had been as noble and tolerant as the three main characters, what wonders they could have created together. Left me crying over what might have been. Brave and good people having to cope with a world not as they wanted it to be but as it was. By taking you into the hearts and minds of the people caught up in an epic, world changing struggle, it brings ycloser to the truth of human experience than the history it parallels.
Joel from Spring TX USA
This book would rank in my top 10 The characters are amazingly written, and connect you to the passions that shape this world, and define this tale in such stark reality.

Q. What questions do you find are helpful for getting to the candidate's motivation and cultural fit?
One question that I believe addresses these issues is centered around understanding the candidate's drive or initiative. Granted there are others, but I think this particular one deals with both.
Just about all jobs require some level of initiative. Most managers want a person that is willing to take initiative in their job. It is a lot easier to hold someone back than it is to try and push them forward. We believe all top talent is self-motivated and will take initiative.
The question I like to ask candidates is, "Can you give me an example in your current or last position where you demonstrated high initiative?" or "Can you give me an example in your current or last position where you did something you weren't required or asked to do, but you did it because you believed it needed to be done?" These are excellent phone interviewing questions.
Depending on the level of the person the answer will vary. I wouldn't expect that same initiative from a truck driver as I would a VP level person. It also deals with the speed of one's culture. After hearing the answer you might think this is high initiative or you might think, "If that is high initiative in their organization, in ours that would be considered standing still." Regardless of the answer, you'll know whether or not they demonstrate this trait at the right level for your position and your organization.
Finally, I find this to be one of the best phone interviewing questions. If the candidate can't provide an example of initiative or doesn't meet the standard you are seeking, do you really need to bring them in for an interview?

Do you guys know any resources that will prepare me for my job in a top tier strategy consulting firm such as RB or McK?
Hi Kevin,
You did not state exactly at what phase are you (newly hired, little experience, recruiting) nor your level (business analyst or associate). Given this I will just focus on what I believe are the critical basic skills for the job. If you master the first and feel comfortable with the second, you're already in a good position.
1. Analytical skills: mastering the problem structuring, the development of analysis within the structure and the building of conclusions and recommendations based on those analysis should be your focus. For this the Case interview secrets book from Victor Cheng is very good. It teaches you the problem solving process in a very practical and straightforward manner. In addition you should practice solving cases with partners. This may seem obvious but even after being hired if you sometimes feel uncomfortable or lost in projects this exercise is very valuable.
2. Analytical tools: learning the most commonly used tools to perform analysis is easy and will save you a lot of time. By basic tools I mean learning to use some features of Microsoft excel such as pivot tables and functions like vlookup, if, index, match, sumif,... Google is your friend here
Additional skills such as written communication or project management are also very important but easier to develop on the job and with multiple high quality trainings provided by those companies.
I hope this was a help, if you want to clarify your situation I can try to be more specific.
Case Interviews can be led by the candidate or by the interviewer: In Candidate-led cases the main challenge is the structure. In Interviewer-led cases the main challenge is to adapt quickly

But during a concert in Sydney last year, Adele had an unusual request for her fans as she prepared to sing her 2012 hit "Skyfall," the Oscar-winning theme song from the James Bond movie of the same name.
She asked them to "bear with" her because she was struggling to reach the song's low notes.
"When I wrote that song, I was heavily pregnant," Adele told the audience. She said one of the symptoms she experienced was her voice getting "a lot lower."
"Any other females here sound like a man when they were pregnant? No, just me? Okay," the singer said.
Other women have experienced the same phenomenon. And now there's scientific evidence that shows pregnancy and giving birth can cause a temporary change in women's voices.
According to a recently published study conducted by researchers at the University of Sussex in Britain, the pitch of new mothers' voices can sound lower and more monotonous after the birth of their first child. The change is described as "vocal masculinizing" and could last for at least a year after giving birth.
"Our results demonstrate that pregnancy has a transient and perceptually salient masculinizing effect on women's voices," the study said.
Scientists said in a statement that they analyzed more than 600 voice recordings from women over a 10-year period, five years before and after they gave birth. They found that a woman's highest pitch dropped by an average of more than two musical notes (about 44 hertz) and her voice also exhibited less variation in pitch. The experiment studied the voices of 20 mothers as well as 20 women who had never given birth. Both groups of women included recordings of public figures, including singers, actresses and journalists.
Two notes, or two adjacent keys on a piano, is a big drop, the study's lead researcher, Kasia Pisanski, told The Washington Post.
"When it comes to human voices, we can perceive pitch differences around 5 hertz in regular speech, so 44 hertz is a very salient difference," Pisanski said.
While this is the first scientific evidence that having a child affects women's voices, Pisanski said anecdotal claims go back as early as the 1970s. She added that reports mostly came from singers, voice professionals or other women in media, citing Adele as a prominent example.
"For her, it has quite a big consequence in the sense that when she sings songs, they won't sound quite the same," Pisanski said.
Aside from Adele, others, such as actress Kristen Bell, have also spoken about similar experiences while pregnant.
In 2013, Bell described her voice becoming deeper and the change affecting her work on the animated film "Frozen."
"There were more womanly tones when I did one recording while I was extremely pregnant," she said. "After I had the baby, I had to go back and rerecord those lines so they matched. There was something different about my voice."
However, Pisanski said her team's research found that the major drop in a woman's voice comes after giving birth rather than during pregnancy. Previous studies largely focused on changes women experienced while pregnant, she said.
The exact cause for this is still unknown, she said, noting that possible explanations include hormone or behavior changes.
Recent research suggests that the pitch of a woman's voice fluctuates based on fertility. According to a 2008 study, psychologists found that voice pitch increases around ovulation, perhaps to enhance femininity and appear more attractive.
Pisanski said researchers have observed "a big rise in hormones during pregnancy and a drop-off after," which can affect a person's voice.
Additionally, Pisanski pointed to past studies that show people who have lower-pitched voices are judged to be more competent, mature and dominant, which may indicate that changing your voice is more behavioral.
"It could be that women are modulating their own voices to sound more authoritative, faced with the new challenges of parenting," she said.
Pisanski added that the change could also be the result of new mothers experiencing increased mental and physical exhaustion. Given what is known about all the factors that can affect voices, it is "unlikely" that tiredness would be the sole cause, she said.
Whatever the reason, Pisanski said new mothers shouldn't panic if during or after pregnancy they start sounding less like Zooey Deschanel and more like Vin Diesel. The change is temporary, she said.
"I don't think it's anything to be alarmed about," she said. "I'm certainly not sending anyone to a clinic."

One of the first decisions you'll have to make is whether you want a Gloss Acrylic Walk In Tub with an Inward Swinging Door, a Gloss Acrylic Walk In Tub with an Outward Swinging Door, a Textured Acrylic Walk In Tub, or a Gelcoat Walk In Tub. Each offer their own benefits that may be just what you are looking for. Gelcoat walk in tubs consist of a gelcoat layer sprayed on a mold and a layer of fiberglass over that to reinforce it. Then it is backed with wood and more fiberglass for extra versatility and durability. With Acrylic walk in tubs we heat the acrylic sheet and vacuum form it over a mold. Then we spray and roll a layer of fiberglass over it for extra durability and insulation. This process is a little more complicated but it creates one smooth seamless surface that results in a gloss shine. This surface is nonporous which makes it resistant to fading and it makes it easier to clean. The nonporous material also makes it more resistant to mold and mildew. The Gloss Acrylic option gives you a smooth, white gloss finish whereas the Textured Acrylic gives you a textured, off white finish. Both have the benefits that Acrylic material offers, but each has their own aesthetic. Gelcoat is a porous material, however it is very important to understand that the quality of the gelcoat walk in baths depends on craftsmanship, experience, and the quality of materials used. Be cautious about cheaper gelcoat walk in bathtubs available on the market as they may not have plenty of layers of gelcoat sprayed on and polished to perfection to achieve the long lasting, easy to clean surface. Gelcoat does have more versatile options and sizes that cannot be achieved with acrylic because of the nature of the material and the process of making it. Whichever material you choose from Ella's Bubbles you will get a long lasting, durable walk-in bathtub that is backed with a warranty.
Door Type
The next option you might have to make a decision on is the door type you want. We offer a variety of different styled walk in bathtubs that come in many different door shapes and functions. The first thing you will notice is that we have outward swing doors and inward swing doors. Inward swing doors are great for the common bather who doesn't need the extra room to get into the walk in bathtub. They also are great space savers and perform well in smaller bathrooms as some bathrooms don't offer the space needed to accommodate an outward swinging door walk in bathtub. They also are self-sealing. As the water pressure pushes on the door it further seals it to prevent leaks.
Outward swing doors benefit those who need a little extra room to enter the walk-in bathtub or those who have mobility issues and can't maneuver around an inward swinging walk in bathtub. Outward swing walk in bathtubs are also the best option if you're looking for wheelchair access or a transfer walk in bathtubs considering that wheelchair accessible walk in bathtub seat height will align with the wheelchair. Our Ella Brand Outward Swing Door Walk In Bathtubs have 3 latches to prevent the door from warping. The 3 latch system increases the strength against water pressure to prevent any leakage.
Door Shape
The other thing you'll have to consider about the door is the shape. There are 'U' shaped doors that sport a modern design and are perfect for the common bather. The Elite, Petite, Royal, Ultimate, Companion, Deluxe, Kai, Oasis, Bariatric, Deep, Long, Narrow, Small, Big4Two, Tub4Two, Dealer Exclusive, Lounger, Slim, and Short walk in tubs offer this style of door. Then there are L shaped doors that are great for those with mobility issues as they allow for easy transfer from wheelchair to walk in bathtub and back. The Mahalo, Titan, Classic, and Wheelchair Access walk in tubs offer this style of door. The Tramo walk in tub is another great wheelchair accessible bathtub but it is a lay-down transfer walk in bathtub so it's door is more rectangular – wide U shape instead of L shaped. It can be used by sitting on the edge and sliding into the transfer walk in bathtub. Lastly, there is Front Entry which makes for a great space saver and can be a freestanding walk in bathtub. Picking the correct door type is an important detail that you don't want to overlook.
Another big decision you'll have to make is the size of your walk in bathtub. We offer a variety of sizes to tailor to your specific needs. When picking a size you'll need to take into account your body type, the water usage of that walk in bathtub, and whether or not you can fit it through your house and into your bathroom.
Body Types
Ella's Bubbles takes into account that our customers come in all shapes and sizes. That's why we offer walk in tubs in several different sizes to accommodate every body type. For the more petite bather we have the Petite (28x52x38), Mahalo (27x51x40), Oasis (27x51x38), Narrow (26x53x40), Short (28x48x40), Slim (26x52x43) and Small (26x45x40) models. All of these models you will notice have smaller widths for the tiny waisted. For the larger bather we have the Royal (30x52x38), Titan (35x53x38), Tramo (32x59x33), Bariatric 33 (33x55x41), Bariatric 35 (35x55x41), Long (32x60x38), Big4Two (36x71x42), and Wheelchair Access (32x52x41) models. These bathtubs have a wider width so they are roomier than the average walk in bathtub. We also have walk in bathtubs for the short and tall. If you are on the shorter side we have walk in bathtubs that are shorter in length such as the Slim (26x52x43), the Short(28x 48x 40), and the Small (26x45x40) models. If you are on the taller side you might consider the Deep (30x55x46), Ultimate (30x60x38), Long (32x60x38), Lay Down (30x60x22), Lounger (26x59x43) or the Tramo (32x59x33) models as they are longer or deeper than the average walk in bathtub. For more of the average sized bather there are the Elite (30x52x38), Deluxe (30x55x38), Companion (30x60x37), Classic (30x51x38), Kai (30x51x41), Lay Down (30x60x22), Dealer Exclusive(30x52x43), Tub4Two(32x60x42), or Low Threshold (30x51x41) models. All of these models have an average width and length for the average body type. The Companion, Tub4Two, and the Lay Down are longer than average but that's because the Companion and Tub4Two are two seaters and the Lay Down doesn't have a seat. This allows you to bath with a significant other in the Companion and Tub4Two or stretch out your legs in the Lay Down.
Water Usage
It is important to note that certain walk in bathtubs require larger water heaters as they have a larger water capacity. The larger walk in bathtubs that have a larger water capacity are the Titan, Bariatric 33, Bariatric 35, Deep, Long, Big4Two, and Wheelchair Access models. Similarly, the smaller walk in tubs won't need a larger heater. These walk in tubs are the Petite, Front Entry, Lay Down, and Small models. Installing a new water heater to compensate for your walk in bathtub can be a costly expense so it is vital the you check our comparison charts located on each product listing page to determine which water heater you might need.
Bathroom Space
Another important aspect of size is whether or not the walk in bathtub will fit in your house or bathroom. If the walk in tub is too large than walls may need to be cut to get the walk in bathtub to your bathroom. This can be another costly expense so it is vital to pay attention to the walk in bathtub dimensions as well as your own bathroom and hallway dimensions. If you have tighter doorways or narrow hallways then the Petite (28x52x38), Mahalo (27x51x40), Oasis (27x51x38), Narrow (26x53x40), Short (28x48x40), Slim(26x52x43), and Small (26x45x40) models are a good choice as they are the narrowest walk in bathtubs we offer. If you don't have much space in your bathroom then you might want to go with the Front Entry (38x33x40), Short (28x48x40), Slim(26x52x43), or Small (26x45x40) models as their widths and lengths are smaller. For those that need the extra room and have the bathroom space for it can look into the Royal (30x52x38), Ultimate (30x60x38), Titan (35x53x38), Tramo (32x59x33), Bariatric 33 (33x55x41), Bariatric 35 (35x55x41), Long (32x60x38), Big4Two(36x71x42), Lounger (26x59x43), and Wheelchair Access (32x52x41) models as these models are on the wider side. The other models such as the Elite (30x52x38), Deluxe (30x55x38), Classic (30x51x38), Kai (30x51x41), Lay Down (30x60x22), Dealer Exclusive (30x52x43), or Low Threshold (30x51x41) all are of average sizes and can fit in the average sized bathroom.
Now that you've picked out the most important qualities of your walk in bathtub all you have to do is pick out which features you would want. Our walk in tubs come with a variety of options for added features and it can be a daunting task to figure out which ones you want. So we've compiled a breakdown of them for you to make the selection process that much simpler.
Common Jet Types
Most of our walk-in tubs come with different jet options that offer different perks. In most of our walk in bathtub models you can choose between an air jet, a hydro jet, or dual jets which contain both air and hydro jets. (Ella Acrylic Walk in Bathtubs don't offer just air jets or just hydro jets and the Lay Down model doesn't offer dual jets). Air jets pull in air and blow it into the water whereas hydro jets pull in bathwater and blow it back into the bath. Air jets don't produce as much pressure as hydro jets so you get a much gentler massage. Hydro jets exert higher pressure and feel much more like a traditional water massage you'd get from a hot tub. Each bathtub has differing amounts of jets strategically placed to target the various problem areas. You can check out how many jets the walk in bathtub you're interested in has in the comparison charts page located in each product listing category. Of course if you're just looking for a regular walk in bathtub all of our walk-in bathtubs come in a soaking option which doesn't include any jets.
Triple Massage – Independent Seat and Foot Hydro and Air Jet Massages.
We also offer two different specialty jet walk in tubs. We have the Ultimate Walk In Bath with a Foot Massage feature. This walk in bathtub has extra hydro jets placed by the feet to relieve all the aches and pains you might have in them. You can even just fill the walk in bathtub halfway to use just the foot massage feature instead of taking a whole bath.
Infusion™ MicroBubble Therapeutical Massage
The other specialty walk in bathtub we have is the Infusion™ Therapy MicroBubble Walk In Bathtub. The MicroBubble Jet is available on the Elite, Petite, and Royal models. The MicroBubble jet is different from both the air and hydro jets as it produces billions of tiny oxygen rich bubbles, much more and much tinier than the air jet can produce. These tiny bubbles go a long way into warming, moisturizing, and exfoliating you skin. MicroBubble jets will make your bath feel silky smooth and the effects will last long after you're finished.
Walk In Bathtub Safety Features
Along with comfort, walk in tubs are designed to reduce the amount of injuries that occur in the bathroom. That's why many of our walk in bathtubs come with features such as grab bars, slip resistance floors, low thresholds, and thermostatic control valves. Grab bars are strategically placed where support is most needed. Depending on the design of the walk in bathtub, some have deck mounted grab bars and others have them mounted to the inside bathtub wall. Check out our comparison charts pages located on each product listing page to determine how many grab bars your preferred walk in tub comes with. All of our walk in bathtubs have a textured slip resistant floor. This helps to prevent slips and falls when entering and exiting the walk in tub. All of our walk in bathtubs vary in threshold height but most are lower than your average bathtub. This makes it easier to step into the walk in bathtub without falling, especially for those with mobility issues that have difficulty stepping over higher ledges. Our Low Threshold Model has our lowest threshold step clocking in at only 3.5''. Then there is the Thermostatic Control Valve that is exclusive only to the Ella Acrylic Inward Swing Door Walk in Bathtubs and the Ella Acrylic Outward Swing Door Walk In Bathtubs. The Thermostatic Control Valve (TCV) is a valve that regulates and mixes the intake of warm and cool water to create the perfect water temperature in your walk in bathtub. The TCV is a great tool for preventing the water from reaching unsafe, scalding temperatures. The default temperature it is set at is 100.4° but it can be adjusted to your preferred temperature. At Ella, safety and comfort are at the forefront of our minds and that's why our walk in bathtubs cater to minimizing bathtub related injuries.
Optional Features
There are many features that we offer that can enhance your bathing experience but aren't essential to your walk in bath. One such feature is Heated Seat & Back Rest. Feel your muscle tension melt away as your heated seats warm you up to increase your relaxation. Two other features that can sometimes go hand in hand are Chromatherapy and Aromatherapy (Note that Ella Acrylic Walk In Bathtubs don't offer aromatherapy at this time). Chromatherapy is the addition of an LED light that cycles through the spectrum of color. Adding color adds a new dimension to your bath that can create a more calming atmosphere. Aromatherapy is the addition of scented oils that fill your bathroom with wonderful aromas that can whisk you away to a serene state of mind. Another optional feature you can include is Ozone Sterilization. Ozone Sterilization is a process that clears out all the water and air hoses and tubes to prevent mold or mildew from growing in them. It's activated with a simple press of a button and can be run during your bath. We care about giving you the best bath experience you can get and these optional features will help to reach that goal.
Exclusive Features – Why Ella Walk In Bathtubs
There are some features that only our brand, Ella Acrylic Walk In Tubs, can offer. These include the Removable Stainless Steel Door with Tempered Glass, the Patented 360° Swivel Tray, the Thermostatic Control Valve, and Dual Drain Technology. The Thermostatic Control Valve we discussed above in safety features. The Removable Stainless Steel Door with Tempered Glass is a sleek, modern door that can be detached from the walk-in bathtub. This allows you to be able to clean hard to reach places much more easily. The Patented 360° Swivel Tray is a tray that can easily be rotated so as to not make it difficult to enter of exit the walk in bathtub. It can hold your bathroom essentials such as a nice glass of wine or a good book and it doesn't get in your way thanks to the rotating capabilities. The 360° Swivel Tray is available on the Elite, Petite, Royal, and Ultimate models. The Dual Drain Technology is a feature that helps to decrease drain time. With the addition of a second drain (no electrical equipment necessary) drain time can be reduced to 80 seconds in ideal plumbing conditions. This is important as the bather has to wait for the walk in bathtub to drain before being able to exit. Ella Brand Walk In Bathtubs stand out from the competition because we add such unique features.
Accessory Options
Some of our walk in tubs allow for extra accessories. One such accessory is the Seat Pillow Riser or the Bidet Seat Pillow Riser. These seat pillows add extra cushion and support to the walk in bathtub seat to aid in your comfort. Another accessory you can add is the Headrest. The head rest adds extra cushion and support just like the seat pillows, but it can be wall mounted with suction cups so you won't have to constantly adjust it. If you need extra support you can add the Fold Down Grab Bar. The Fold Down Grab Bar can also be wall mounted and helps to increase your stability just like the other grab bars. Lastly, certain walk in bathtubs have the option of switching out certain faucets. We offer three types of faucet sets. There's the Ella Original Brand Faucet that comes with a Thermostatic Control Valve, there's the Huntington Brass Roman Faucet which comes with a fast fill faucet, and then there's the Jandon Traditional Roman Tub Faucet which also comes with a fast fill faucet and offers a more traditional aesthetic. Adding accessories are just another way to create a rejuvenating bath.

ISLAMABAD: The Capital Development Authority (CDA) will soon launch seven new sectors to overcome growing residential problems in the capital, a CDA official told Daily Times on Friday.
He said the new sectors would be C-13, C-14, C-15, C-16, D-13, E-13 and F-13. The authority, he added, had allocated Rs 2,736 million for acquisition of land in the current CDA budget. Documentary work for launching new sectors had been completed and negotiations were underway for acquisition of land, the official said.
He said launching of new sectors was encouraging, but the CDA needed to accelerate development work on the already launched sectors including D-12, G-12, I-14, and I-16.
Currently, he added, there was a shortage of 40,000 housing units in the federal capital, which had increased real estate prices manifold. The existing number of houses in the city was 70,000 while 110,000 housing units were required, he said, adding each year the demand was increased by 5,000 units.
"The current situation has made it very difficult for the people having monthly income from Rs 10,000 to Rs 20,000 to get residential accommodation in the capital," he said.
Asadullah Faiz, CDA director land, confirmed to Daily Times that the authority would launch new sectors and in this regard planning was under consideration to properly compensate the affected people. He said major allocation had been made in the current year CDA budget for acquisition of land and the new sectors would be launched very soon.
Stadium for special persons: Capital Development Authority (CDA) has started a Rs 5.5 million project to construct a stadium for special persons in Sector F-10, Online reported. A CDA Culture Directorate official said the stadium would be the first of its kind in the country and akin to a special persons' stadium established in New York, the USA.

"Today, most music fans have never heard of George W. Johnson. Asked to name the first black singing star, even knowledgeable collectors will typically cite Bert Williams, the 1910s Broadway star, or Mamie Smith, the diva who kicked off the 1920s blues craze with "Crazy Blues." But Johnson was making and selling tens of thousands of records – cylinders, mostly – three decades before Miss Smith conjured her magic, making him the direct forerunner of Bert Williams, Sammy Davis, Jr., Michael Jackson, and other performers who've come to be known as "superstars."
In Johnson's bio, tragedy trumps triumph. Born a slave on a Virginia plantation, he was forced to work within long-standing racist stereotypes, and spent most of his career singing the same song over and over and over again."

MEDICI now! Startup Stories highlights the companies that are shaping the new financial technology industry. Keep an eye out each week for new stories! If you or someone you know should be highlighted, send us a note. Without further ado…
Company Name: muinmos ApS
Name/Title: Remonda Zahdeh Kirketerp-Møller, CEO
Industry Segment(s): Banks, financial firms, hedge/pension/mutual funds, asset/fund managers, introducing brokers
Target Market(s): Global
LTP: Please tell us about yourself.
Remonda Zahdeh Kirketerp-Møller: I specialize in European regulatory matters and with deep knowledge and understanding of regulatory matters across many parts of the world, I advise investments firms and banks on the provision of financial services and on structuring their business.
I joined Saxo Bank in 2003 and played a key role in developing the legal and compliance department to support Saxo Bank's global strategy, and as a Director of the Legal Department, I also founded the Market Data Department specializing in big data analysis and process automation.
In 2008, I co-founded CFH Group Companies, including CFH Clearing, which has become a market leader in its global offering and was recently sold to Playtech.
I have an unprecedented passion and desire to constantly find automated solutions to resolve highly complex legal and regulatory problems in financial services, which led me to found muinmos in order to eliminate the regulatory burden, which hinders thousands of financial institutions across the globe from entering new markets and offering financial products. I am a recognized speaker on RegTech and regulatory matters. I am passionate about creating new business ideas which have a global impact. I am a qualified solicitor authorized and regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority of England and Wales, and a member of the Danish Bar and Law Society.
LTP: Give us a paragraph pitch for your company.
RZKM: muinmos has developed PASS, a software which instantly and globally validates whether a financial institution can onboard a client to trade with it in a particular service/product. This cuts down the onboarding time from weeks to seconds at a fraction of the cost. PASS also automatically notifies the financial institution of any regulatory changes 24/7, thus ensuring continuous compliance, which is another key concern for financial institutions today. PASS is a unique product and is currently the only one in the world.
LTP: In a sentence or two, what problems are you solving today?
RZKM: Financial institutions rely on internal legal, compliance departments and/or external legal counsel especially when conducting cross-border business in order to assess if they can onboard a new client or keep an existing one based on local regulation. This is a very expensive and time-consuming process. PASS can instantly determine if the client can be kept or on-boarded and at a fraction of the cost.
LTP: Who are you selling to?
RZKM: The target market is every single financial institution (including banks, financial firms, hedge funds, pension funds, mutual funds, asset/fund managers, introducing brokers). They must all ensure that they meet the regulatory requirements when they onboard clients, and maintain this throughout the client's life cycle. Therefore, PASS is a software offered to every type of financial institution globally.
LTP: How does muinmos ApS differentiate from competitors?
RZKM: PASS software is unique and there are currently no competitors. Today, in-house legal and compliance teams and external legal counsel are handling the parts PASS covers. Thomson Reuters, Bloomberg, and others have been working at developing many compliance solutions for the financial sector but do not offer what PASS offers.
LTP: What is your next milestone?
RZKM: Conquer the world and establish key partnerships that complement our product suite, as well as continue to deploy PASS in brokers and banks around the world, so they can benefit from what is a game changer in the industry, thus allowing them to focus on their core business.
LTP: Thank you, Remonda!

Back on 7 September of last year, I did a talk at TEDxUmhlanga, on the topic of 'Inner Conflict'. Some of what I spoke about is relevant to the common currency topic, in the sense that it concerns a reward-based explanation for inconsistency in choice patterns. (Inconsistency might otherwise be taken as an argument against a common currency.) The talk is embedded below.
(If you've seen the video of my talk at 'Thinking Things Through' in December, you might be wondering whether I ever wear anything else. Yes. Yes, I do.) I've also been doing some more serious research work on this topic, and hope to have more things to post really soon.

Here is a wonderful rendition of this famous song by Sammy Davis, Jr., chosen to illustrate the beauty of the divine Elizabeth Taylor.
Elizabeth Rosemond Taylor (born in 1932 in Hampstead, London, England - she was born a U.S. citizen but relinquished her American citizenship after marrying Richard Burton, and became a British subject) is an iconic two-time Academy Award-winning English-American actress. Her trademark is her violet eyes framed by a double row of eyelashes. Known for her acting skills and the depth of her personality along with her beauty, she is considered one of the great actresses of Hollywood's golden years, as well as a larger-than-life celebrity. The American Film Institute named Taylor among the Greatest Female Stars of All Time. In 1999, she was created a Dame Commander of the British Empire by Queen Elizabeth II. Elizabeth Taylor's hand and foot prints are immortalized in the forecourt of Grauman's Chinese Theater in Hollywood and she has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in Hollywood, California. On November 10, 2005, Taylor received the Britannia Award for Artistic Excellence in International Entertainment.
She passed in March of 2011.
Enjoy Elizabeth's beauty and let yourself immerse into her eyes!

The world's first (limited) self-driving taxi has been announced… in Singapore. Does this represent a loss for American companies?
Scientists at Nangyang Technological University (NTU) in Singapore have developed a new lithium-ion battery that can be recharged to 70% capacity in just two minutes. This new lithium-ion battery (LIB) can also endure more than 10,000 charge/discharge cycles — or about 20 times more than current LIBs. Perhaps most excitingly, though, NTU's new Li-ion tech has already been patented, is compatible with existing battery manufacturing processes, and has 'attracted interest from the industry.'
