Reasons Your White Gold is Turning Yellow
Sonia Nair
Mar 12, 2019
One fine morning, you notice that your much-treasured white gold ring is looking yellow. Go through this information for a brief overview about the science behind this color change.
Gold has been one of the most valued metals since time immemorial. In its pure form, gold is yellow and very soft. As one of the most common and popular use of gold is in the form of jewelry, it has to be made hard by adding other metals.
In short, alloys of gold are used to make jewelry, though some people prefer the pure form. The purity of gold is measured in carats, and 24 carat gold is considered the purest. When other metals are added in different quantities, the purity level decreases to 22 (22 parts gold and 2 parts alloy), 18, and 14 carats.
Throughout the centuries, people loved to wear yellow gold only. So yellow gold alloys were used for making jewelry. The metals used for this purpose are copper and silver. While silver can make the gold greenish in color, copper can make it look more reddish.
So, usually, a mix of copper and silver in the ratio of 50:50, is added to gold, so that the yellow color is retained. These metals, when added to gold, do not cause any noticeable color change. However, some people experimented with other metals to produce gold alloys in colors, like white, rose, gray, green, and black.
What is White Gold?
As mentioned, gold alloys were initially meant for making gold more pliable, in order to produce fine jewelry. This was done by adding metals, like silver and copper, so that the traditional yellow color of gold is not altered. White gold alloys are made by mixing at least one white metal to gold.
The commonly used white metals are silver, palladium, nickel, and zinc. White gold was introduced in the 1920s, as a replacement for platinum, which was very expensive and popular. Platinum supply became scarce at that time, and white gold was introduced. Since its inception, such gold jewelry became very popular and replaced platinum to some extent.
So, it is the proportion of the metals in the alloys, that changes the color of gold. The atomic structure of the gold alloy is different from that of pure gold. This atomic structure affects the reflectivity of light of different wavelengths, thereby changing the yellow color of gold to white.
However, the original color of white gold may have light grayish or yellowish hue. So, white gold is given a rhodium plating, in order to obtain that white hue. It is rhodium, that gives that bright look and the reflective feature to white gold.
While nickel is one of the most popular metals used for making white gold, it can cause skin rash in people with sensitive skin. So, nickel is not considered healthy. It is also said that nickel has carcinogenic properties.
So, palladium, platinum, and silver are mostly used for making white gold. However, people often complain of white gold turning yellow. How does it happen?
Why Does White Gold Turn Yellow
Now, we know that most of the white gold jewelry comes with a rhodium plating, which gives the white hue and reflective nature. Most people mistake these properties as that of white gold. Beneath the rhodium plating, lies the white gold alloy, which can be gray or yellowish gray.
So, once the rhodium plating wears out, the color of the white gold alloy can be seen. This is the reason behind white gold turning yellow. So, with regular use, the rhodium plating in white gold jewelry wears out, exposing the inner alloy, which is not 'white'. Sometimes, yellow gold jewelry is plated with rhodium, and is sold as white gold.
In such cases too, you may see color change. In short, white gold is not a metal in itself, as pure gold is yellow. White gold is actually gold alloys (mixed with white metals), that have the typical 'white' color due to the rhodium plating. As the plating fades with time, the inner alloy is exposed and this is the reason for white gold turning yellow.
Essentially, the quality of rhodium plating is more important. Cheap ones can wear out soon, as compared to a good quality plating. Proper handling is also important, as rough usage can affect the plating. So, buy white gold from authentic and trusted jewelers, and handle it with care.

We want our customers to have comfort in our systems and for that to happen, they have to trust us with their information. We've done as much as we can with security, but unfortunately, we can't have someone monitoring each individual account on a 24/7 basis. To remedy this problem, we've come up with some general tips to help our customers protect themselves.
Here is a list of Back Office Best Practices to follow:
- Remove old employee logins
- Change the password routinely
- Keep contacts up-to-date
Besides these tips, we've developed a Customer Proprietary Network Information (CPNI) code that is designed to further protect our customers. Only main account administrators are able to access this feature. Those admins can see their CPNI code by going to our Back Office, opening the Account tab, and clicking on settings. Once there, they can retrieve the individual code for their account.
The CPNI is generally used when a customer is having trouble accessing their account.

Don't Rebel Yell
Posted on 2017-02-24
There's a bit going on where protestors will go to Town Hall meetings held by Republican Congressfolk and make a ruckus. While I admire the enthusiasm, I do not think it'll do much good. These members of Congress are not in it for their constituents (I argue that members of either party are not in it for us), they are in Congress for greed and blind ideology.
Yell, call, and mail all you want. For some members, that will work and all in the area will be happy. For many though, it will not. There's no changing their minds, and yelling at public gatherings will just make them dig their heels in more then point at you saying you're the problem.
We are better off finding someone who want's to represent the people, but does not want to make a career of it, to run for office. Then we all work together (regardless of party) to elect that person because we know they will represent us and our well being.
Also get rid of gerrymandering. Gerrymandering is bullshit.

When you step off the plane in the Maldives the thing that strikes you the most is the colour of the water. Unlike any place I have visited or have had the privilege of holidaying in the past, the colour of the ocean in the Maldives is teaming with life, colour and exuberance.
Maldives surfing
After staying at the Four Seasons Kuda Hurra resort for a week and watching the Surfing Champions Trophy which consisted of past world champions: Tom Curren, Damien Hardman, Mark Occhilupo, Martin Potter and Phil Rajzman I would have to agree with the Four Seasons claim concerning the competition: "The World's Most Luxurious Surfing Event".
Between Eating like a king breakfast lunch and dinner, sipping coconuts in my water bungalow, surfing fun size aquarium blue waves with nobody out, snorkelling on the coral reef teaming with life and shaking a leg to the islands DJ at sunset it has left me speechless and with a clear understanding of why the Kuda Hurra resort in the Maldives was rated the number 1 resort in the world in 2011.
Maldives surfing
I would have loved to have filmed more but quite frankly it was far to hot to be stuck behind the camera and far to much to explore in my limited holiday space. Below is a quick klip I put together of: Tom Curren, Tim Mitchell (Tropic Surf Guide and part owner of Surfboard Traders), William Kimball (Friend and member of Tom's band) Pat Curren (Tom's son) Phil Rajzman and Martin Potter free surfing at Sultans before the contest started. In all honesty it was probably the hottest 2 hours of my life and I'm just glad I didn't die of dehydration. The heat in the tropics can be a killer. Enjoy the klips: Bonaqua!!!

Have you heard the term "probate?" Do you know about probate in Washington state?
Probate is the official term for settling an estate after a person dies. According to Dickson Frohlich, a Washington state law firm, probate is the process of administering an estate and making distributions to family members based on the provisions of a will. Probate also involves collecting assets and settling debts.
Probate helps prevent fraud once a person dies since it stops any further action from being taken until a judge decides if the will is valid. Sometimes people file for probate because of issues related to the decedent's personal property..
Is There A Will?
If the decedent left a will, the executor of the will is responsible for filing probate, if needed. The executor of an estate or the attorney who represents the estate starts the probate process. After this person files proper documents, the probate court then validates the decedent's will and allows the executor or attorney to distribute the estate, pay all final bills and take care of any taxes due.
What Happens if No Will?
If the decedent did not leave a will, the state will choose someone to administer the estate. Usually, a surviving spouse or a child of adult age is appointed by the court. This person then follows the judge's instructions as to how the deceased's property is handled.
Required or Not in Washington State?
Probate in Washington state is not required, says the Public Law Library of King County's website. Probate isn't even required in situations where the decedent does not have a will in Washington state.
So why file probate in Washington state? PLLKC says the two most common reasons for probate are because the decedent's personal properly is valued at more than $100,000 or the person has real property titled in their name. For estates of $100,000 or less, PLLKC says you may be able to file a Small Estate Affidavit instead of a probate. We offer an instant download Small Estate Affidavit with all of the forms you need to complete and file with the court.
Other Reasons to File Probate
If you need to access a safe deposit box, pay debts, distribute assets or handle a lawsuit in the defendant's name, you need to probate, says PLLKC. We offer an instant download of a do-it-yourself Probate Kit that helps you fill in the necessary paperwork and file it with the court to start the probate process. Choose a Probate Kit with Will or a Probate Kit Without a Will.
Ways to Avoid Probate
If you can avoid probate, NerdWallet says to do so, since probate can be slow, costly and is a matter of public record. Establishing a living trust is one option to avoid probate. Another way to avoid probate when it comes to property is to designate your spouse or whomever you want to become a joint owner. In some states, small estates can avoid probate if the estate falls under the probate estate limits.

A few months ago I came across the anonymous writing duo that is known as Kennedy Fox. I was curious to see what all the hype was about, and wondered if I would even enjoy this genre of writing. Well, my previous worries were completely unfounded as I binged both Duets in a matter of days. I was hooked. Absolutely-110%-no looking back obsessed.
The waiting game for this third and final duet was TORTURE. But fortunately enough, I was accepted to be part of the Kennedy Fox InstaFam. Not only do I get to help promote this wonderful series and interact with fellow Checkmate-obsessed bibliophiles, but I also got an ARC of This Is Dangerous, the first instalment in the final duet.
This is Dangerous is the first book in Kayla and Logan's story. We were previously introduced to these characters in the other Checkmate Duets (I highly recommend reading those first!) and I was so excited to finally experience their love story. Boy was it worth the wait! I think this could be my favourite couple! Who doesn't love a good story involving dogs, donuts and detectives hmm?
Kayla and Logan relationship follows the "second chance at love" trope, and I think I find these stories the most intriguing. Instead of an insta-love relationship, you have a slow burn romance that keeps you on your toes and begging for the characters to finally act upon their internal desires.
Without giving too much away (because seriously, you need to experience all of the #TeamLayla goodness on your own) Kennedy Fox brings to you a book series that is the perfect mix of romance, sexy times, quirky humour and fan-appreciated pop culture references (FYI – Sarah .J Maas was referenced and I fangirled so hard). All of these things combine to create an amazing story that the reader can relate to. I beg you to give this series a chance so you can become as immersed in this world as I am! We need more Kennedy Fox converts in the world!
PS. The only thing I think that I can complain about in regards to this series is the fact that I have to wait til SEPTEMBER to read the second book. Let's just say the ending of This is Dangerous was completely bonkers and I NEED TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS RIGHT MEOW. Do you hear me Kennedy?!
Also did you hear me when I said FREE BOOK!? For a limited time, This is War (Book One of the first Checkmate Duet) is FREE. That's right… FREE! And This is Love is only 99 cents! This is the perfect way to experience the magic of Kennedy Fox. Free books = the perfect motivator in my world!
Title: Checkmate: This is Dangerous

Author: Kennedy Fox

Introducing book 1 in the Logan & Kayla saga of the Checkmate series from a secret duo of romance authors who teamed up under the USA Today Bestselling pseudonym, Kennedy Fox! This second-chance romance will have you gasping and cheering this two on from the first to the last page! Are you ready to play the final game?
Logan Knight is a real life knight in shining armor.
A detective godsend in a sleek black suit has me thinking less than secretive thoughts. Brooding and mysterious, he's the kind of guy every girl instantly notices. Between his seductive smirk and charming good looks, it's no wonder I can't help the way he makes me feel whenever I'm near him.
Too bad he's unavailable—or so he says.
He thinks I'm a do-gooder who shouldn't get involved with a guy like him. His past is messy and relationships just add to that. He insists the timing is all wrong and he's devoted to his career, but I don't buy that excuse for a second. I see the way his body tenses and his jaw ticks every time another guy is around me. He just won't admit it, but I'm more determined than ever to show him what he's missing.
I'm a devoted animal rescuer and I'll risk everything to save them, but when a dramatic turn of events puts both our lives at risk, I'm positive Logan will write me off for good. But when he asks for my help with a personal crisis, I know it's my last chance to finally show him I can handle anything he throws my way—messy past and all.
He might think he has me all figured out, but I'll prove him wrong no matter what he thinks. This game of push and pull has me running in circles. One wrong move and we could both lose.
Checkmate, Knight.
*Recommend for ages 18+ due to sexual content and adult language.*
**This is book 1 in the Logan & Kayla Saga–a second-chance romance. You don't need to read any of the other Checkmate series to enjoy this one, but is always recommended as they are both introduced in the earlier books.**

Dmitry Shlyakhtin, a little-known regional official, landed one of the toughest jobs in sports when he was elected to head Russia's scandal-ridden athletics federation.
Three months into the job, the 48-year-old bureaucrat is working to overturn a ban by the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) over allegations of systematic doping that could see Russian track and field stars sidelined from the Rio de Janeiro Olympics in August.
While world track and field authorities remain sceptical about the country's prospect of competing in Rio, Shlyakhtin insisted in an interview with AFP that Moscow is making progress.
"The process has started, maybe not as fast we would have wanted," Shlyakhtin told AFP. "Of course we have lots to do. But many things are being done."
Shlyakhtin -- a low-profile junior runner whose election came as a surprise to Russia's athletics world -- told Russian media upon his election that there was a "50 to 60 percent" chance the country would see its track and field stars in Rio.
Today he is more optimistic that Russia will take part in the Games but shies away from providing a detailed assessment of the progress made and the work that lies ahead.
"To say which stage we are at now would be biased and wrong," he added.
The current turmoil in Russian athletics was sparked when a report from a World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) independent commission published in November laid bare evidence of state-sponsored doping and high-level corruption in sport in the country.
The report alleged that senior ARAF officials enabled the use of performance-enhancing drugs and covered up doping violations, among other damning accusations.
To compete at Rio, Russia's athletics federation must now fulfil the reinstatement requirements set out by the IAAF, including severing its ties with staff with any past involvement in doping, and abide by all WADA regulations.
The IAAF recognised last month that Russia has shown "significant progress" in the wake of its November suspension.
But Rune Andersen, the independent chair of the IAAF Taskforce overseeing the reform process, nonetheless "stressed that there is still considerable work to be done in order to meet the reinstatement conditions," the IAAF told AFP.
The taskforce is set to make its next visit Moscow later this month before the IAAF holds an extraordinary Council meeting in May where a decision on Russia's participation in the Games is expected to be taken.
Shlyakhtin said ARAF was focused on regaining IAAF membership by changing attitudes on doping among the country's track and field coaches.
"There needs to be a completely new approach," he said, adding that some 50 foreign specialists would be brought in to strengthen anti-doping practices. "We have to educate a group of completely new people who won't think that results cannot be achieved without drugs."
'All over the map'
Former WADA president Dick Pound, who headed the agency's independent commission, told AFP last month that Russia was "changing deckchairs on the Titanic" rather than working to overturn its suspension and that the Russian track team "may not make it" to Rio.
"If the IAAF is not willing to lift the suspension of ARAF prior to the Rio Games, no entries from ARAF will be allowed to participate in the Games," Pound wrote to AFP in an e-mail last week, adding that Russian sports minister Vitaly Mutko "tends to be all over the map" in his statements on the country's fight against doping.
Mutko in November dismissed the WADA report as based on "unconfirmed facts" before the sports ministry expressed in a statement its "full support for the recommendations of the commission" and its willingness to carry them out.
But as Russia faces an uphill battle to revamp its anti-doping programme, four doping failures for the banned drug meldonium among Russian track and field athletes last month come as a potential blow to efforts to overturn the ban.
ARAF confirmed the cases but did not identify the four athletes who tested positive.
Shlyakhtin said the meldonium cases were unlikely to play into Russia's chances of being reinstated before Rio.
Mutko said last week that 30 Russian athletes had tested positive for meldonium since the WADA ban on the endurance-boosting drug came into effect on January 1.
ARAF said in a statement it was conducting a "thorough investigation" into the cases and reiterated it had repeatedly warned athletes and trainers that meldonium was being banned.

This event has already passed.
After an exciting week of free performances outdoors, join us for the Closing Performance of the 37th Annual Battery Dance Festival with the unique appearances of two international companies: Skopje Dance Theater from Macedonia, and Mophato Dance Theatre from Botswana. In addition, Battery Dance will perform a classic from its repertoire, Secrets of the Paving Stones.
Battery Dance
Secrets of the Paving Stones by Jonathan Hollander
The piece draws upon the history of the City of Kraków, home of one of the world's first universities; the transmogrifying events of mid-20th Century in Kraków in which the City's Jewish population was annihilated; the seeking for a now lost Jewish culture by Poland's young people; and the very architecture of a city which has preserved much of its Jewish quarter as well as its medieval Wawel Castle, churches and guild halls. Hollander treats this complicated history with an imagistic palette, richly perfumed at times, dark and spare at others.
Skopje Dance Theater
Cauldron by Risima Risimkin
Risima Risimkin is one of the leading choreographers in Macedonia and the Artistic Director of Dance Fest Skopje and Skopje Dance Theater. Cauldron has being presented in Maritime Silk Road Festival in Quanzhou, China and in the Holland Dance Festival in Den Haag, NL. The performance at the Battery Dance Festival is the company's U.S Debut and Cauldron's U.S Premiere.
Mophato Dance Theatre
Borwa by Andrew Letso Kola
After an outstanding U.S Debut last year, Mophato Dance Theatre returns to the Battery Dance Festival with the work Borwa. Founded in 2009, the company is Botswana's first afro fusion and contemporary dance company. Since its inception, and under Mr. Letso Kola's leadership, it has performed in the U.K, Germany, China, Tokyo, Norway, Denmark, Sweden, and in New York. Borwa, which translates to "South", is a captivating untold story of the people from the south and their experiences during labour migrations in 1966.

Greencastle, Ind. – The men's tennis team is still in search of their first win following a 9-0 loss to Kenyon on Saturday.
25th-ranked Kenyon (4-2), the NCAC favorite for the 2018 season, dominated throughout the match and won each flight in straight sets.
The closest DePauw got to a point was at No.1 doubles where Greg Frauenheim and Bryce McClanahan fought to enter a tiebreaker but lost 9-8 (7-0). No. 2 doubles lost 8-3, and No. 3 doubles lost 8-4.
Frauenheim at No. 1 singles and McClanahan at No. 2 singles both lost 6-3, 6-1. Alex Pintilie fell at No. 3 singles 6-3, 6-3; at No. 4 Matthew Quammen lost 6-4, 6-2; at No. 5 singles Michael Kolbus lost 6-0, 6-3; and at No. 6 singles, Daniel Kinas lost 6-0, 6-0.
DePauw is now 0-5 and will try again for their first win Thursday when they host Earlham.

East Bay—Then and Now: Bohemian Jewish Butchers Dominated Downtown Meat Trade
Among the fortune seekers lured to northern California by the Gold Rush, the Jewish contingent was small but significant. Jewish immigrants would go on to play an important role in the economic and cultural development of the Bay Area, and Berkeley was no exception. Although early accounts rarely discuss Berkeley's Jewish community, some members figured among the young town's prominent citizens.
One pioneer Jewish family—the Fischels—established itself in downtown Berkeley in the late 1870s, gradually acquiring land around the Shattuck-University axis. A few of the buildings they erected are still with us today.
The Fischels immigrated from Bohemia, then a Crown Land of the Austro-Hungarian empire. The paterfamilias, Simon Fischel, was born in 1846 or '47 (records vary in respect to the date) and arrived in New York as a teenager in 1865. For over a decade, he worked as a butcher, acquiring U.S. citizenship in 1872.
In 1870, Simon married his compatriot Rosa Bauml (1844-1909), and while still in New York, they brought two sons and two daughters into the world (another daughter would be born in Berkeley). The Fischels probably arrived here in 1878; the 1879 directory listed them on the southeast corner of Shattuck and University Avenues.
In the 1880 U.S. Census, the Fischel household included not only Simon, Rosa, and their four elder children, aged 2 to 8, but Rosa's younger brother, Jacob Bauml, and E.C. Twicker, both butchers. Their neighbors at the time are familiar names in Berkeley history: John Acheson, who ran the Acheson Hotel on the northeast corner of University and Shattuck, and Jonathan G. Wright, founder of the Golden Sheaf Bakery at 2026 Shattuck.
That year, the Fischels resided in the Antisell Block, an unprepossessing commercial building on the southwest corner of the same intersection. The 1881 U.C. Blue & Gold Yearbook carried a full-page ad announcing, "Liberty Market, cor. University & Shattuck Aves., Antisell Block - Berkeley. Simon Fischel, Dealer in Beef, Veal, Mutton, Lamb, Pork, Salt Meats, Sausages, etc. Families supplied with all kinds of meats of the best quality at the lowest market prices."
Home delivery was key to success at a time when few customers possessed their own means of transport, but it could backfire. On Nov. 6, 1890, the Berkeley Advocate regaled its readers with this anecdote: "A lady called on Fischel & Co. the other evening and made arrangements for that company to supply her family with meat. The team was daily sent to the house, when it was discovered that no such family resided there. It turned out that Mr. Fischel was deceived of a young man who donned the garment of a virgin to fool Fischel."
As the pig carcasses hanging in front of his store attested, Fischel was neither a kosher butcher nor an Orthodox Jew. Nonetheless, he involved himself in Jewish affairs and would be linked to the First Hebrew Congregation of Oakland, a Reform temple founded in 1875 by Gold Rush-era settlers. At a time when Jews were barred from most fraternal societies, Fischel was a member of the Odd Fellows and the Freemasons.
The Fischels didn't stay long in the Antisell Block. On Dec. 11, 1880, the Berkeley Advocate reported: "Mr. S. Fischel's family has removed from the Antisell Block to their new house on University avenue, near Shattuck street."
The new house was located on the north side of University Avenue west of Shattuck. When houses numbers were introduced, it became 2033 University Ave. The market, too, moved to the north side of the street, although Fischel's annual advertisements in the Blue & Gold continued to list the Antisell Block as the address through most of the 1880s.
Simon Fischel's initial real estate investment was his mid-block home site, comprising lots 11 and 12 in the College Tract, on which he built a sizable two-story house with three bays and a side porch. Within two years, he had added lots 49 and 51, directly behind his home and facing Berkeley Way.
In 1884, he and his brother-in-law and partner Jacob Bauml purchased a Shattuck Ave. lot directly to the south of the Antisell Block, on which they erected a narrow two-story building. The following year, Simon added two lots on the south side of University Avenue near Milvia Street. This was only the beginning.
In 1888, Fischel and Bauml made a notable contribution to the downtown cityscape when they built the Fischel Block on the northwest corner of Shattuck and University. It was by far the most elegant building on the intersection, adorned with bay windows along the second floor, showy corbels under the eaves, a decorative metal railing along the roofline, and an impressive corner turret crowned by a witch's cap. The Liberty Market occupied a storefront on the University Ave. side, next door to the University Bazaar. The rest of the building was given over to a hotel, which contained a dining room, kitchen, and office on the ground floor and guest accommodations above. The improvements were assessed at $10,000 in 1889.
Initially called the Fischel Hotel, the establishment would become known as the California Hotel by 1891, when its image was included in the "Bird's Eye View of Berkeley, Cal." map distributed by land owner Charles A. Bailey as propaganda for the town's charms. The hotel's operator changed almost yearly, indicating a less-than-rosy balance sheet.
On the other hand, the Fischel meat market flourished. Over the years, an ever expanding list of Fischels worked there. One of these was Isaac (aka Ignatz) Fischel, who appears to have been Simon's brother. Isaac and his wife Elsie (aka Toni) purchased a double site at 2039 University Ave, next to Simon and Rosa's house. Here they built a plain one-story house and raised a son and a daughter. A few doors to the west, Jacob and Lilly Bauml raised two girls at 2011 University.
Isaac—not to be confused with another downtown butcher named Ignatz Fischel (1853-1912), a relative who ran a meat market at 2008 Shattuck and lived at 1924 University Ave.—bought a double lot on the northeast corner of Bonita (then called Louisa) and Berkeley Way, where in 1890 he built a one-story rental house. Isaac never got a chance to expand his holdings; death overtook him around 1893.
Such was not the case with Simon and Rosa, who added two more lots to the pair on Berkeley Way and erected four identical rental houses, one of which was occupied by their son Charles, also a butcher. These houses survived until 1955, when the City of Berkeley purchased and demolished a row of seven houses to create the Berkeley Way parking lot.
Simon Fischel died on April 4, 1907, two months before his younger daughters Sally and Rebecca were married. Rosa followed him on Feb. 6, 1909. She received brief obituaries in the San Francisco Call, which called her a "pioneer relict," and in the Oakland Tribune, which described Simon as "the pioneer meat butcher of Berkeley." Their various properties were divided among the surviving son, Charles, and his three sisters.
Meanwhile, Elsie Fischel's house at 2039 University burned down on July 4, 1908 after catching fire from a festive skyrocket. Elsie and her offspring, Charles and Clara, moved to their second house at 1923 Bonita Ave., which they had previously let to grocer George Hunrick of Rose Grocery fame.
The following year, their old homestead on University sprouted the three-story University Apartments, with two storefronts—one of them a movie theater—on the ground floor. The building is now called the University Hotel. A launderette operates in the old cinema space.
On her Bonita Ave. property, Elsie built two additional houses for rental. No sooner were they built than her tenants at 1933 Bonita, a plasterer and a sheet metal worker, ganged up on Charles Fischel and beat him with a broomstick during an argument over $1.25. Knocked off the porch and falling 15 feet to the ground, Charles cracked his skull and injured his vocal chords. The metal worker was sentenced to three months in jail.
Charles eventually recovered his speech sufficiently to be arrested for using foul language in 1919, when a neighbor complained to the police that his Sunday rest was being disturbed. Fischel had been swearing at his smoking kitchen stove.
A different mishap overtook Elsie's daughter, Clara. Her 1907 engagement to an Alameda dentist came to nothing, and in 1912 she met one Joseph Guttman, a Hungarian who undertook to paint the Fischel home and was given room and board there. Within three weeks, Clara and Joseph became engaged, and she advanced him $70 to buy a ring. After borrowing an additional $135 from Elsie, Guttman vanished. Clara eventually found a husband but died in 1920, aged 36.
Simon and Rosa's youngest daughter, Rebecca, married David Roth, a San Francisco jeweler. In 1923, she decided to replace her parents' home with a commercial building and obtained a permit for a one-story concrete building containing five stores.
Early in 1924, she changed their mind and built three stories, including two hotel floors. Designed by San Francisco architect August G. Headman, the hotel was leased to James and Mary Reilley, who christened it after Mary's maiden name, Nash. Rebecca owned the Nash Hotel until 1955.
By the 1940s, the Fischel Block on the corner of University and Shattuck was gone, and in its place stood Berkeley's first drive-in barbecue, the Cameo, housed in a concrete-and steel building with a glass and glass-brick façade. In 1950, the Cameo moved to the northeast corner of Shattuck and Channing.
It was replaced by a modernist, two-story glass-and-aluminum building designed by Wally Reemelin, a Berkeley industrial engineer who was one of the first to build A-frame houses.
The McDonald's Department Store operated here until 1958, when it gave way to the House of Harris men's clothing store, which had outgrown its Shattuck Square building. This legendary haberdashery remained until 1976. Since the late '70s, the site has been occupied by another McDonald's—the hamburger chain.
Elsie Fischel moved her Bonita house to 1624 Delaware Street in 1925. Having survived both her children, she died alone in 1934. During her last several years, she was dependent on the county for her welfare. Her 1890 house, which had fallen into disrepair, was purchased several years ago and restored. It is the recipient of one of BAHA's 2008 Preservation Awards.

My Story
I was a TEAM MK and grew up in Colombia, South America. I was partially home schooled and partially educated at Christiansen Academy, a TEAM boarding school for MKs in Venezuela. Later while attending Bible college I met Sandy, who was to be my wife. I went on to study Accounting and Taxation. Sandy and I are empty nesters and have four grown children, one granddaughter. We live in Parker, Colorado, a suburb just south of Denver. We are actively involved in leadership at Southeast Christian Church, a local Christian school, and SECOR, a local foodbank.
I had started working for Big 8 public accounting firms right after college. My specialty was international taxation, which seemed like a natural fit for an MK named after a tax collector. I later worked in industry for AT&T, NCR, Teradata, and Dish Network in various tax roles. I've been running tax departments in large corporate environments for the past 16 years before coming to TEAM. While serving as a Board member at TEAM, I had wanted to take a more hands on role in implementing God's special vision for TEAM. I am excited to be part of that process.

8 Ways Fishing Relieves Stress
If you didn't ever think about the fact that fishing relieves stress, consider these eight points.
If you've ever looked around the internet at lists of the "10 best ways to relieve stress" or other similar articles, you've probably seen our beloved sport of fishing come up a number of times.
RELATED:Health Benefits Of Fishing [INFOGRAPHIC]
That's because fishing is an athletic event, an escapist activity, an opportunity for thoughtful reflection, and an avenue for stirring accomplishment all rolled into one. So next time you're feeling the pressures of work or family life, hit the lake and fish. You'll be amazed at how quickly your tension just melts away, for all of the following reasons.
View the slide show for the perfectly good excuses to go fishing.
1. It gets you away from the bustle of everyday life
Perhaps more than everything else, more than the fish, more than the sleek and expensive gear, more than the thought of someday ending up as the champion of the Bassmaster Classic, we all love fishing because it is an escape. An escape from the bustle and noise of civilization, an escape from the pressures of the work week, an escape from the bills and decisions waiting at home, an escape from everything. When life piles up and becomes too much to take, fishing can provide a much needed afternoon away from it all where you can recharge, unwind, and come back ready to take on the world.
2. It gets you away from your screens
This point could probably have been crammed in with the initial "escapism" point, but with how addicted our modern society has become with computers, smartphones, tablets, and every other gadget out there, it deserves its own piece of real estate on the list. If you want to really get away and leave your stress behind when you go fishing, then there's only one way to do it right: turn off your cellphone. By separating yourself from the text messages, the emails, the Facebook notifications, and all of the other distractions, you'll be able to take yourself back to a simpler time when it was easier to get off the grid.
3. It exposes you to the beauties of the natural world
Why is it so important to disconnect from your smartphone while you're out fishing? Because if you don't you're going to miss things, namely the beautiful splendors of the natural world. As we grow up, it becomes harder to find time to just get outside and enjoy nature. Fishing provides the perfect opportunity to reverse that trend and take all of the vistas in, from gorgeous riverbeds to wide open lakes and kaleidoscope horizons. By turning off your phone, you can take full advantage of the therapeutic qualities that nature can have on the soul.
4. It gives you time alone with your thoughts
Sometimes, you just need a moment to yourself to think and reflect. Taking some time to make deep considerations about your future or to revisit nostalgic memories from your past can be remarkably effective for relieving stress. And frankly, there's no better time to have those long meetings with your thoughts than with your fishing rod in your hand, your line, lure, and hook in the water, and your eyes scanning the horizon as the wind ruffles your hair and the sun warms your skin.
5. It gives you guilt-free time with your best friends
Fishing can be a great opportunity to take some alone time, but some people can beat back their stress a lot more quickly by just having fun with their friends. That's what is great about fishing, though: it's flexible. Whether you want to get away from everything on a solitary fishing trip or pack a boat with your best buddies and set off for a day or two at sea, you can do it.
6. It can demand heavy concentration and investment:
Much of the stress relief inherent in the sport of fishing comes when you are simply waiting for a fish to come along and bite your hook. But fishing can also demand your utmost concentration and effort. When a big fish finally takes the bait, you can find yourself fighting for minutes or even hours just to reel it in and close the deal. For people who like to forget about their troubles by pouring themselves entirely into a single endeavor, the battle and the catch are the real stress relievers of fishing. In order to catch the fish, you are going to have to keep your mind on the prize, and that means forgetting all about your frustrations at work or your worries at home.
7. It combines time and timelessness
There are anglers out there who would swear that they go through some sort of wormhole every time they fish. While you're out in nature, just taking in the sound of the river, the scent of the trees, and the feel of the wind, it's easy to lose all sense of time. Before you know it, five hours have passed and it's time to go home. Since stress is often connected to the feeling that there aren't enough hours in a day, completely forgetting about the advance of the clock is a great way to get back to a centered and relaxed place.
8. It provides a reason to explore your local area
Too many people move from town to town, school to school, job to job without ever really exploring the places they live or uncovering the treasures it has to offer. If you are going to be an angler, you need to explore. You need to find the best lakes, streams, and rivers in your area. You need to find spots where you can just commune with nature alone. In doing so, you might discover other things about your hometown that you never knew before. Building an appreciation for the place you live that isn't possible if you just think about work all the time.
9. It can be a source of huge accomplishment
When you land a huge fish on a weekend getaway, it can feel like winning an Olympic gold medal. Having opportunities to notch big accomplishments and achievements outside of work will add value to your life, cut down on your stress, and make you a happier person in general.
10. It tires you out
Tired of lying awake in bed, tossing and turning because you can't get a hundred different worries and obligations off your mind? Go fishing. A day out on the boat or by the river, battling fish and trekking around in the wild, can completely drain you. When you climb into bed at night after a long fishing trip, you won't have the energy to worry and you'll drift off to sleep quickly and effortlessly.

With an increasing need for highly-analytic individuals who can resolve complex and seemingly intractable situations in the medical fields, double majoring in Care Health & Society and Philosophy is a natural combination. The Philosophy department offers an Ethics Track that is well-suited to training individuals to be able to think through the complex ethical dilemmas that face Care Workers on a daily basis.
Double majoring in Philosophy and CH&S allows for up to 9 credit hours to be used simultaneously in both majors (double-dipping).
Students who wish to pursue a dual degree in Philosophy and Care, Health & Society may take up to nine credit hours (three classes) that will count toward satisfying the requirements of both programs. These nine credit hours will count toward the "Electives" part of the Philosophy major, in either the General Track or the Ethics Track and toward the elective part of the CHS major. The student will still need to fulfill all the core and area distribution requirements for both majors. Students may automatically double-dip from the following courses (If your course is not listed here, contact Dr. Laura Howard to determine course eligibility):
PHIL 110 Logical & Critical Thinking
PHIL 213 Contemporary Moral Problems
PHIL 220 Philosophy of Happiness
PHIL 305 Intro to the Philosophy of Science
PHIL 321 Medical Ethics
PHIL 345 Philosophy & Psychiatry
PHIL 347 Neuroethics
CHS/SOC 303 Health and Society
CHS 309 Ethical Issues Common to the Helping Profession

Disaster Relief Missions
A wide and varied background allows Heli Aviation, with the essential elements necessary, to undertake all aspects of specialized operations required during disaster relief projects. We assist in distributing food and medicine for USAID projects such as in Haiti or other devastated areas. Successful recovery projects require the skilled utilization of many resources, including experienced personnel combined with the right tools.
Helicopters have become an indispensable aid for dealing with disasters. They particularly come into their own when they are put into operation during the initial stages after a disaster has taken place. People who have fallen victim to a catastrophe or are endangered by a disaster cannot afford to wait until a "clearer picture" of the damage has been established. In fact, the helicopter can contribute towards establishing this picture, and as a result should be promptly called out as soon as "a major occurrence" has taken place.
We have worked out procedures for rescue and disaster relief operations of all kind and are well prepared in advance – this gives us a response time of less than 48 hours to save considerable time that could otherwise have serious consequences.
Our services include:
- fly in specialists and vital equipment
- transport personnel and equipment to rough terrain or inaccessible locations
- fly out injured or endangered persons
- carry out rescue operations and evacuations
- ascertain the extent of the damage and report back to the operation command unit, indicating exactly what resources are required
- investigate the possible access routes and the various organization areas as well as the possibilities of closing off the area and diverting the traffic
- identify any particular or possible additional (secondary) dangers, including those which could arise in the case of the damage becoming more extensive

Southwest Airlines, Singapore Airlines and Hertz top our list of the best companies of 2017.
How do we know? Because we asked — and you answered. The results of our annual Elliott Reader's Choice survey are now ready for your inspection.
Also in the winner's circle: Royal Caribbean, Uber, Hilton, TripAdvisor, DirecTV, Disney, and more.
This year's poll was a break from the past. We removed some of the more controversial (and less interesting) categories and added a few that mattered to you. It's all explained in this post.
Our Reader's Choice poll is meant to be a buyer's guide for and by readers. Oddly, there's some overlap with the 2017 watchlist. Don't you love oligopolies? We went to great lengths to keep outside influences and ballot-box stuffers out of the process this year.
Congratulations to the winners.
Domestic airline
1. Southwest Airlines
2. Alaska Airlines
3. United Airlines
4. JetBlue Airways
5. Delta Air Lines
Southwest has historically outperformed the other airlines in our surveys. But, surprisingly, United received more votes than perennial favorite JetBlue. There's a likely reason: JetBlue this year embraced ancillary fees and moved to a more traditional two-class configuration. Shareholders love it. Passengers? Not so much.
International airline
1. Singapore
2. Virgin Atlantic
3. British Airways
4. Lufthansa
5. Cathay Pacific
A big win for Singapore this year.
Car rental
1. Hertz
2. Enterprise
3. Avis
4. National
5. Alamo
The big car rental brands, led by a resurgent Hertz, dominated the 2017 list.
Cruise line
1. Royal Caribbean
2. Celebrity
3. Disney
4. Princess
5. Holland America
Royal Caribbean, also last year's winner, took the top spot in a landslide. But the competition for second, third and fourth place was fierce. Disney lost out to Celebrity by just a few votes. Obviously, you can't go wrong with any of these cruise lines.
Ground transportation
1. Uber
2. Greyhound
3. Lyft
4. Megabus
5. Turo
Uber dominated this category with a majority of the votes.
1. Hilton
2. Marriott
3. InterContinental (IHG)
4. Wyndham Hotel Group
5. Best Western
What a remarkable turnaround for Hilton, which for years was plagued by service problems. Marriott, which just acquired Starwood, had a respectable second-place finish and InterContinental's brands landed in third place.
Online travel agency
1. TripAdvisor
2. Expedia
3. Kayak
4. Booking.com
5. Priceline
Who would have thought TripAdvisor would be your favorite online travel agency? Expedia's second-place finish was something of a surprise, given the high number of complaints.
Subscription TV
1. DirecTV
2. Comcast
3. Verizon Fios
4. DISH Network
5. AT&T U-verse
Biggest surprise: Comcast, which is in the middle of reinventing its customer service approach. It seems to be working. AT&T (DirectTV and U-verse) also scored high.
Theme park
1. Epcot (Disney World)
2. Magic Kingdom (Disney World)
3. Disneyland
4. Universal Studios (Orlando)
5. SeaWorld (San Diego)
A clean sweep by Disney.
Travel insurance
1. Allianz Global Assistance
2. Travel Guard
3. Insuremytrip.com
4. Squaremouth
5. TripMate
A strong showing by Allianz. Insurance sites also performed well in this survey. Both Allianz and Squaremouth are sponsors of this site.)
Vacation rental
1. Airbnb.com
3. HomeAway
4. FlipKey
5. Tripping.com
No question, Airbnb dominates in this category.
Wireless carrier
2. Verizon Wireless
3. T-Mobile
4. Sprint
5. Consumer Cellular
AT&T edged out Verizon by only a few votes. Interestingly, AT&T also receives far more complaints from readers than the other wireless carriers, so it's a love-hate relationship.
All in all, the results suggest our readers are savvy and focused on finding quality at a fair price. Companies that deliver that winning combination are rewarded with votes, as it should be.

I had the weirdest dream that bordered on a nightmare last night, except it involved one important thing. This will reveal itself at the end…
I'll start from where I remember the dream. To clarify, I'm going to say "we" a lot but I don't know/remember who the other people were.
I was in an old house that "we" knew had ghosts in it. Our goal was to find these ghosts and find out what their issues were so "we" could help them be at peace. "We" kept climbing the stairs until we came across the two most scariest ghosts. They really didn't want us to climb to the top floor where they resided. They confronted us… and when they came face to face with me I was trying to conceal how out of my mind scared I was. They were not of human body in looks… they were grey in appearance like an old knitted cardigan poncho… where their face should be, was just two black round circles that were the eyes. They didn't speak… the two black circle "eyes" just stared me down trying to scare the living shit out of me. Which pretty much worked. Then they just turned around and glided up the final flight of stairs to the top floor. The other people I was with followed them. So naturally I had to go with them.
Once I arrived at the top floor it was clear they were not happy that we were there. Knowing I had no choice but to stay, I decided I had to try to help them. They circled us… then I started singing a Kylie Minogue song. I can't remember what song it was… but it helped me to be calm and I thought "Hey, who doesn't like Kylie music? This has got to help them too." I kept singing at the top of my lungs with determination. Then the walls started to break down from wood to coins… then those coins fell away to reveal the outside world. Which scared me. I didn't like the idea of no walls.
These two ghosts seemed to calm down. Then their brother turned up. I "knew" they needed to be reunited with their brother. I got them to sit down to reconnect via a familiar phrase that the three of them had used growing up – "bee bop". The brother kept saying "bee bop" and they suddenly took human form. They were two very beautiful elderly women. I was relieved…
Then the room filled with people. An old Hollywood actress approached the two elderly ladies. They all seemed to know each other. They had a wonderful conversation about something. Everyone was happy. There were three long tables filled with people… a feast appeared from nowhere. We were all eating Turkish Delight. Some people were saying that it was quite strong. Then I told everyone that if they dipped it in the bowl of chocolate fudge, it tasted much better. In the centre of every table was the most delicious chocolate fudge that seemed to be oblivious to people… except me. Then I watched everyone dip their Turkish Delight in the chocolate fudge… and I went back to eating mine.
Then I woke up.

text: Over the last year the reporters have weathered a number mind boggling changes instigated from the powers that be at Northcliffe. It began last year when they were told that, because profit had fallen (probably little more than a single percent), the company was to make a number of "efficiency savings". Meaningless platitudes were dolled out to petrified reporters about keeping redundancies to a minimum. Many learned their jobs effectively didn't exist, and reporters from papers across the newsgroup were invited to apply for each others positions, kind of like a morbid game of musical chairs.

Propaganda techniques in the age of the spin
Between our culture of narcissism and the advent of "fake news," critical thinking is more important than ever. Whether it be in personal relationships, government or corporations, the use of propaganda and logical fallacies seem to be at an all-time high. So with this is mind, we'd like to provide you with a refresher course on a few of the most relevant logical fallacies on display at this time. The first technique is probably the most common one because it is so easy to use and involves distraction. It's known as a "red herring." It's defined as "something intended to divert attention from the real problem or matter at hand."
A recent offender of this is Fox News host Bill O'Reilly. To undermine Congresswoman Maxine Waters' argument about black Americans and their consistent patriotism to this country, O'Reilly took aim at her hairstyle. "I didn't hear a word she said, I was busy looking her (James Brown) wig." As an effect, the wig talk by O'Reilly dominated the headlines over the very important message the Congresswoman was trying to convey. Another technique that shares similarities with red herring is what is called ad hominem. Ad hominem distracts, but the difference is it makes an attack on the character or personal trait of an opponent making an argument in order to discredit them.
The president of the United States' twitter account is something like an ad hominem factory. For instance, Arnold Schwarzenegger he was "praying that President Trump can start improving his approval rating." Trump, who is on record as having the lowest approval rating for an incoming president, attack the Terminator's performance as California's governor when he held the position from 2003-2011; calling it a "bad job." The response had nothing to do with the facts of his low approval ratings. The last technique we'll mention is so extreme that it's more of a blatant lie than it is a logical fallacy. Gas lighting as it's called, is a popular narcissist character trait. In the words of the TV Judge, Judge Judy, gas lighting is akin to someone peeing on your shoe and telling you its rain.

(Review) Omega Mine ★★★☆☆
Series: Alpha & Omega
Genre: Paranormal Romance
189 pages
A bond forged in blood. Fealty given to the one he desires above all others. Graced with the ability to shift into any form, Diskant Black is the absolute authority when it comes to New York shifters, and as the Omega of the city, his word is law. Protecting the shifter races is more than a job, it's a predisposition ingrained since birth-nothing is more important. Until a chance encounter with a tiny female sets fire to his blood, brings him to his knees and turns his world upside down. Ava Brisbane is more than he bargained for in a mate-beautiful, fragile...human. If he wants to keep her by his side, he'll have to sacrifice a portion of his soul to establish a bond that can never be broken. Unfortunately, the timing couldn't be worse. Shepherds-hunters of all the shifter races-have arrived in New York. To protect the woman he can't live without, Diskant will have to stand against those who have come to start a war.
Omega Mine is the first book in the Alpha & Omega series. While I found it interesting it had a hard time keeping my attention. It was a good story which is why I gave it 3 stars but it couldn't keep my attention. I love shifter books and Diskant, as an Omega, is like the ultimate shifter. He can shift into several different animals. Ava is a telepathic who knows about shifters even though most people don't. In this series shifters know who their mate is as soon as they meet them. What happened after they met was pretty funny.
Of course with any book there has to be the bad guys. In this case it's the Shepard's. They hunt down and kill shifters because they say that they're demon possessed. There's also a group of people that keep records of all the shifters and people like Ava that have extra sensory perception. Seems a little overkill to me.
I read this book 4 months ago so it's hard to remember all the details to do a review. Please forgive the shortness of this review. Thanks for stopping by.

Space Clearing
Working with the land and buildings.
Ceremonies have been performed since ancient times to cleanse and raise the energetic connection of homes, sacred buildings and community space. The Q'ero medicine men and women work with heavy or light energy and this can also relate to heavy patterns of energy in the land.
Space clearing is an ancient art of releasing stagnant or heavy energy (Hucha) and calling the light into it's place. Clearing heaviness from natural environments or buildings is much like working energetically on the body. The only difference being is that when we work in nature, we are working directly with the body of Gaia or Mother Earth and all her helpers. These helpers could be land spirits, the elementals, the Apu's (mountain spirits), the tree and water spirits and even the cloud spirits!.
The Andean cosmic vision believes that through our sacred connection to Mother Earth, Father Sky and the Universe, we build up a deep relationship with nature. This could with be nature spirits, ancestors or the energy of the land. A tree can be seen as our brother and sister, as can the stars, the elementals and the Deva's. In the Andean vision we are all equal and there's no heirarchy.
Have you every walked into a room and felt colder, or an intuitive sense that something wasn't right?. We can all be unconsciously affected by the energy of a building (even by the company or owner that runs it). If spirits are trapped for example, then they may cause us mental or emotional distress until we learn how to help release them. All spaces we spend time in have energy that affects our wellbeing. The energy can also affect our relationships, our abundance and creative flow to a more positive or negative degree.
Spaces can be cleared by liberating trapped spirits and transmuting the heaviness into light by raising it's energetic vibration. Often, you can immediately see the shift of energy lighten when shamanic clearing has finished. Your intention and the dreaming your world into being is also a large part of the clearing process.
Benefits of Space Clearing:
- Your home or area cleansed may feel larger, brighter and your own space, imbued with the intention and vision that you want to see.
- Clearing energy helps you to take the next steps needed towards a new path more easily.
- Space clearing helps you to be able to concentrate more easily and feel better about your situation.
- Areas of your life that previously felt blocked begin to flow once more, coming into perfect harmony.
What happens during a consultation ?
- We can talk on the phone and then I like to visit the site, with a meeting face to face to determine the work needed ( this can also be done at a distance if necessary).
- A full clearing process could include: creating an altar, journeying, making a ceremony for the ancestors, liberating trapped spirits or clearing a portal, there are an infinite number of things that we could do.
- I'm happy to work alone and I also have colleagues to ask for help if it's a big project. I'm also open to involving you in my shamanic work and allowing you to help where possible.
I look forward to working with you or answering any questions you may have directly. Please contact me for more details, I've also written a blog post here about space clearing.

The singer participated in the MBC radio program "Sunny's FM Date" on Wednesday and revealed his charms as an entertainer.
In the section of the program named "Reply from Star," Heechul was asked to rank the group's looks.
"The first place would be me. The second place is Donghae, because I personally like his sad eyes," Heechul replied.
"Donghae has such deep ones like a sunset. On the other hand, I don't have a sad look. Even when I cry, people think that my tears are due to anger, not sorrow," he added.
"Nonetheless, I am the most handsome member in Super Junior," he said, making listeners laugh.
The radio program "Sunny's FM Date" airs every day from 8-10 p.m.

Due to popular demand, the Organized Space Works newsletter will go back to a monthly format starting July. My fans say they miss it so we're getting back on track into a monthly system.
And speaking of systems, this feature is about setting up systems. A few simple ideas and a little effort goes a long way. It helps make everyday life more enjoyable to see beautiful shelves and closets, and it's great to find items you need easily. What a concept!
I ask clients not to buy products until we determine their needs and create a custom plan for their spaces. Most people already own random organizing products and without a plan or system, they don't function effectively and often these become part of the clutter.
What is a System?
The dictionary says a system is "a set of connected things or parts forming a complex whole." As we sort like-with-like and weed out the excess, the next step is to create a system. It can be a collection of jars, baskets or boxes to contain items which have a common purpose (kitchen supplies for cooking) or live in one space (office supplies near the desk) or used together (sewing supplies). Now we know exactly where our things can be found.
Systems create access and clear boundaries. In a store, items are arranged by departments so we can locate them easily and see quickly what's in stock: nails live in the tool department and threads in the sewing department. Similarly, think of your home that way. If you take a shortcut and just stash things all mixed up in a cabinet or closet without a system, it's hard to recall where things have landed.
Corral Small Items
A collection of hardware, spices or buttons can be organized into a system using small food jars at little cost. Use an assortment of jars with good shapes and sizes and plain lids. Soak off the labels in a bowl of hot water. If any glue residue remains, use one of my go-to products GooGone. Wash and dry the jars thoroughly and organize your items inside. Once they are all filled, label them even if you can see what's inside. This last step is critical. Attractive uniform labels will help you create a system that functions well and looks great on a shelf.
Most people just place books on shelves without much thought. Office supplies lie about, toiletries are scattered and food is stashed in a cupboard randomly. Clear bins and revolving trays work well inside a closet or pantry to create a system for toiletries or food.
Open shelves in an office can be beautiful if books are artfully arranged, and boxes for supplies are colorful and neat. Don't forget to label the boxes to indicate extra printer paper, tapes, staples, sticky notes and all those small supplies we all have. A box for receipts will save time and trouble when you need to return an item.
In a drawer dividers help to keep supplies you use everyday available. In a kitchen a crock will keep cooking utensils at bay. Order is attractive and much less stressful.
Paper and Files
Papers often land in piles on every surface of the home. A well-made file cabinet is the most effective system for papers. In a small space, attractive file boxes serve the purpose. Files must be labelled and must also be systematized into departments.
An in-box on or near your desk will hold papers and mail which you need to process (read, act, file or toss). A desktop file organizes action items and a cup holds pens, letter openers and scissors. Even your desk has departments.
Systems Help You Maintain Organization
With systems, you know exactly where to put things after each use. If you are creating a new system, avoid the dollar store or random purchases. It's best to buy quality items in a place which stocks the same things all the time so you can always add to your system. Bins from different manufacturers of varying quality and size can cause problems. They don't stack neatly and when they become separated, it's a real time-wasting chore to fit the right lid to the bin if each one is slightly different. If you need help creating systems in your home or office, email me to schedule an appointment.

Former slave and abolitionist Frederick Douglass tells his incredible, painful story of going from a slave to a free man and eventually an abolitionist leader.
The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, An American Slave is widely considered to be the most significant work to have been written by a former slave. This memoir, first published in 1845 set the tone for the American abolitionist movement. Within four months of its publication, more than five thousand copies had made their ways into the hands of the American people. Part of what made this memoir so key, was that it not only described Douglass' life as a slave, but it also reveals his tremendous journey to becoming a free man. Douglass would go on to become a leader in the abolitionist movement with his future anti-slavery writings. Key reading for sociologists and historians this elegantly designed clothbound edition features an elastic closure and a new introduction by Eric A. Hairston.
Frederick Douglass (1818-1895) was an African American social reformer, orator, writer, and statesman. After escaping from slavery, he became a leader of the abolitionist movement, gaining note for his dazzling oratory and incisive antislavery writing. He is one of the most famous African Americans of all time and his memoirs continue to be studied by historians and enthusiasts today, nearly 150 years after the Civil War.
Eric Ashley Hairston is Associate Professor of English and Director of the Center for Law and Humanities at Elon University. He holds a Ph.D. in English Language and Literature from the University of Virginia and a J.D. from the University of North Carolina and is author of The Ebony Column: Classics, Civilization and the African American Reclamation of the West.

Toon boss Sir Bobby Robson could be given new England caps if the ones he had stolen in a raid at his Ipswich home are never recovered.
The United manager has pleaded with the thief to return his treasured England caps, which he won between 1957 and 1962.
FA chiefs have repeated his appeal to the raiders and added they could be replaced.
Sir Bobby won 14 England caps as a player with Fulham and West Brom.
Although he has won a string of honours as a manager, his caps are his only trophies from his playing days.
The 70-year-old boss said: "I am distraught and I am appealing to anyone who may know anything to get in contact with me.
"The England caps are the most precious items of my football career. They mean a lot to me and are irreplaceable."
Raiders struck at Sir Bobby's home in Ipswich 18 months ago.
But the theft of the caps only came to light recently when he tried to dig them out.
The Newcastle manager scored four time for his country and later took them to the World Cup semi-finals as a manager in 1990.
