With wedding season in full swing there's a plethora of blog-worthy content being created throughout the country! But if you haven't had your work published before then you may be wondering how working with bloggers can help your business?
But with hundreds of blogs out there, how do you know where to submit and what content to share?
Do your research
With a huge number of blogs out there it can seem overwhelming at first, and many awesome wedding pros put off submitting their work because they're not sure where to start. Don't be one of them!
With a little bit of research, you'll quickly discover each blog has it's own niche – a unique voice, aesthetic and bride who reads their blog. Think about the style of wedding and type of bride that is featured – are they tattooed, alternative brides on a budget or elegant designer brides with money to burn? Find the blogs who's target audience most closely matches your own.
Build a GENUINE relationship
While emailing a blogger cold may get you coverage, working more closely with a blogger and building a two-way relationship will get you long term results! Start by following and interacting on social media, commenting on anything relevant in an authentic way. If you have the opportunity, connect with bloggers in industry groups or at networking and industry events.
If you know a blogger who you want to work with lives near you, invite them out for coffee! Being a blogger stuck behind a laptop day in day out can be pretty lonely, they might be glad of the company!
Finally email an introduction, be friendly and genuine and start building that relationship!
Blogs feature a range of content – from real wedding & styled shoot features to brand showcases, reviews, collaborations and tutorials. There are pro's and cons to each type;
If you're looking to promote your brand specifically, perhaps a new collection, service or product, then a sponsored post is the way to go. These can cost anywhere from £100+ so it's important to make sure you find a blog
When budget is an issue, there are lots of ways to get free coverage – but these must be a perfect fit editorially. Real wedding & styled shoot submissions are a bloggers bread & butter content, and Editors are always looking for fresh, new and exclusive content to share to inspire their readers.
Perhaps you don't have a styled shoot or real wedding to submit? Then think about the knowledge and expertise you have to share. You could write a guest post or tutorial that informs brides, fills the bloggers schedule and showcases your skills.
Finally, you can always ask what they are looking for! Bloggers are always looking to create new content, so perhaps they are working on a collaborative project that you can contribute too – providing your product or service in return for coverage, credit and a copy of any images.
The key to keeping bloggers on side is to create exclusive content. Editors are always looking for something new to share that their readers can't find elsewhere. When submitting your work ensure you stick to the exclusivity rules!
Be personal
Nothing puts off a blogger more than a 'Dear Blogger' email. It doesn't take much to find out their name – use it! A blogger's About Page is also a great source of info – find out what they're into and make your contact relevant!
You'd be surprised how many people forget to thank bloggers after a feature or share. It takes no time at all and is essential in maintaining a great relationship. A blogger may have spent many hours emailing back and forth, scheduling and creating your post. Imagine how it feels to get tumbleweed from the suppliers involved when they finally hit the publish button!
Sharing the post not only increases engagement, improves your visibility and reinforces your expertise with your own followers but also acts as a 'thank you' for sharing to the blogger!
Do you have any tips for working with bloggers? Share them below or head to our industry Facebook Group to join the conversation

I went and saw the movie "He's Just Not That Into You" last Sunday afternoon with a girlfriend, and I've gotta tell you, I loved it.

How Much Money Kamri Noel Makes On YouTube – Net Worth
Kamri Noel Net Worth – $340,000
Kamri Noel is the daughter of a lady named Mindy who runs a very successful YouTube channel named CuteGirlsHairstyles. Her sisters run the popular channel called BrooklynAndBailey which has been highly successful. She has an estimated net worth of $340,000. Her content is mainly challenge videos, vlogs, skits and other random content together with the help of her little sister, southern grandma, neighbor, cousin and friend.
Kamri enjoys playing as either Kalium or K-Swag since they represent sides of her that most people don't get to see. She also loves doing science experiments and anything Harry Potter.
How Much Money Does Kamri Noel Earn On YouTube?
The channel has over 1.7 million subscribers as of 2019 and has accumulated over 170 million views so far. It is able to get an average of 90,000 views per day from different sources. This should generate an estimated revenue of around $360 per day ($130,000 a year) from the ads that appear on the videos.
YouTubers get paid between $2 – $5 per 1000 monetized views after YouTube takes its cut. Monetized views range from 40% – 60% of the total views. All these are influenced by several factors like device played on, the location of the viewer, ad inventory, how many ads there are on a video, how many people skip the ads, ad engagement etc.
There is also a program known as Google Preferred where deep-pocketed companies can target ads on the top 5% most popular content. The ad rates here are higher than normal. Apart from ads, YouTubers also generate extra from YouTube Red viewers who pay a monthly fee to view premium content on YouTube plus watch videos without ads. Here they get paid based on watch time on their videos. The longer the viewers watch their videos, the more money they earn.

World's Most Expensive Dining Experience Comes To Singapore
Posted on 12/07/2016
Eating out in Singapore, you are not short of choices, from celebrity chef restaurants in exclusive malls to the best street food in traditional hawker centres, there is as much choice on what you can eat as there is what you will pay for it. The idea of value for money is subjective, there are some Singaporean foodies unconcerned with the cost of a meal as long as the experience is special. I wonder how they will react to the opportunity of the world's most expensive dining experience, coming in at a cool US$2 million (S$2.7 million).
Russian diamond group World Of Diamonds (WOD) and Cé La Vi Singapore offer an unforgettable eight hour dinner date for two that includes an air, land and sea journey culminating in an 18-course modern Asian degustation dinner that includes the gift of a 2.08-carat diamond ring. You evening kicks off with a 45 minute helicopter ride over the Singapore city-scape, a chauffeur driven Rolls Royce drive and a luxury private cruise that brings the guests to the Marina bay Sands Hotel, where they will dine on the roof, in a private setting of 10,000 fresh roses.
The two diners will enjoy the breathtaking 360 degree panoramic view from the roof, where they will be entertained by a live band and treated to 18-courses that include Belon oysters with champagne foam, Almas caviar, air-flown Alaska wild salmon and apple-wood grilled Mishima sirloin steak complemented by an array of world class wines that include a 1988 Salon 'S' champagne, a 2008 Domaine Leflaive Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru, and a 1972 Oremus Tokaji Aszú 5 Puttonyos. You will eat with diamond-studded chopsticks and sit on custom made designer armchairs, fabricated by The Push that will be transported to your home afterwards. The diners can also choose to stay in the hotel to complete the magical night.
At midnight, the dinner becomes the most lavish of proposals with the presentation of the 2.08-carat Fancy Vivid Blue Jane Seymour diamond ring (reportedly valued at US$2 million) served with Lois XIII de Rémy Martin cognac and a firework display! Karan Tilani, director of the WOD Group said; "This could be the ultimate proposal, an exceptional occasion, or simply a celebration of life." The experience will only be available to a qualified individual, to be decided by WOD and Cé La Vi, although details have not been released as to how that decision will be made.

How to Stop Snoring – Gasp For Breath When Falling Asleep
What is Sleep Apnea? Gasp For Breath When Falling Asleep
OSA or obstructive sleep apnea is one of the sleep disorders in the world. Survey results indicate that approximately 22 million people in America have sleep apnea.
OSA could be caused by the narrowing of the throat pathways to diminishing blood oxygen levels, during sleep, which results. The body then sends out adrenaline and various hormones as emergency signs, causing your body to activate"fight or flight" mode and wakes you up. This simultaneous"waking up" instances are the main reason for drowsiness among individuals suffering from sleep apnea. Gasp For Breath When Falling Asleep
Snoring and its Link to Sleep Apnea
Since Obstructive Sleep Apnea is called the collapse and narrowing of the air pathways in the throat, snoring is often common for those suffering from sleep apnea.
Although snoring could not be associated with sleep apnea, it's a symptom that is frequent especially if it's accompanied by pauses in breathing and sometimes choking and gasping.Gasp For Breath When Falling Asleep
Then you have a problem with snoring if you are suffering from sleep apnea.
Smart Nora: Remedy for Sleep Apnea without any doctor's helpGasp For Breath When Falling Asleep
Smart Nora is proud for being the first solution, which means it requires no extra objects to wear merely to alleviate snoring. Smart Nora, as its name implies, utilizes technology which automatically detects when you begin snoring and stops it!
Smart Nora's Amazing Features
The Smart Nora has a number of features that presents itself as something that is worth the money. Check out these features of the Smart Nora:
Non-invasive equipmentGasp For Breath When Falling Asleep
The Nora system has its capability to be compared to other products. What is the difference between invasive and non-invasive products? Invasive instruments are objects that required to be introduced into the human body or in body cavities such as skin, nose, and sometimes mouth. Non-invasive means that you don't have to place objects in any cavity found in your body. Thus, no access is not required by the Smart nora to your own body which expands the range of comfortability in its use.
Portable setup
The portability of the Nora System enables one to bring the setup anytime, anyplace. You are guaranteed to have a good night's sleep as long as you bring your setup during your journey with you or even. Snoring won't prevent you from enjoying your time.Gasp For Breath When Falling Asleep
Smart technology
In this world full of smart phones, smartwatches, and other"smart" things, Smart Nora is not losing with regards to smart technology. Once set up, it's hands-free and totally automated. Completely wireless, an individual would not even notice that there is something different in your bed if you don't point it out. When fully setup, there are definitely no electronics near your head. Just like most"smart" gadgets on the market, Smart Nora are also integrated with a mobile device, allowing your sleep details to be recorded. Just imagine – you won't need to ask your partner whether you're snoring! Gasp For Breath When Falling Asleep
Data about how quiet your sleep was, length of your sleep, how many times Nora was activated, volume of your snore in decibels, and even a recording of your sleep can be viewed on the app included in the bundle. Health tips are included on the program itself and it detects if your spouse was woken up while you slept at no cost. With this attribute, you can tell how smart and advanced the Nora technology is.
Works in Any PositionGasp For Breath When Falling Asleep
People who are inclined to change their sleeping places won't have any trouble. Persons who get antsy when sleeping will be able to use Smart Nora provided that their head is on the pillow.
Completely Silent
With the amazing features of Smart Nora, one would presume that the intricate setup would generate a sound, but Smart Nora is absolutely silent, without producing the smallest bit of sound when running. It wouldn't make any sense if you have a sleeping improvement technology that is distracting and loud enough to rob you of your sleep, right?

You won't have any problem if you are using the Smart Nora: it is capable and suitable to any pillow that you use. This create the Smart Nora very great for any bed and any family you will use. The installation will not have any issues as long as it is a pillow!Gasp For Breath When Falling Asleep
The Parts of the Smart Nora System
There is A system made up of diverse parts working together, and that is how the Nora System is. The Smart Nora is composed of:
Nora Bedsider
The Nora Bedsider is where the majority of the control features are: sensitivity adjustment, on/off, and delayed start mechanism. Additionally, this is where the mic is located. As its name implies, it is best to put it on top of your bedside table drawer. Do not worry, the design of the Nora Bedsider allows it to blend beautifully without damaging the aesthetics of your bedroom.
Padded Pillow InsertGasp For Breath When Falling Asleep
The Padded Pillow Insert is the portion of the system that you put inside your pillowcase. This is where the air flows with the support of the inflatable balloon inside. The insert is washable and has a folding structure which allows it to be completely portable. No electronics are included in this insert; therefore it is made of all-natural material that allows you to have a healthy natural sleep also.
Portable Case
The portable case houses all of the electronics and serves as storage for the entire Nora System. The electronics itself contains a double power adapter for its power unit and a battery for use even without the electricity. The very silent air pump can also be located in the portable case together with an audio receiver.
How the Nora System Helps Against Sleep Apnea
As you already have an idea on how the Smart Nora system functions, you can imagine how helpful it would be for snoring. Imagine how you would be able to fully perform and be functional at work. You would not doze off while driving because you have rested properly the night before, reducing the likelihood of a car accident that is typical for people suffering from sleep apnea.
Other than that, the shortness of breath and gasping or choking breaths would be less frequent, as once the snoring sound is detected, the Nora System will definitely respond. Decreased snoring will result in a more harmonious relationship with your spouse as a bonus, as the both of you would no more have any sleepless nights due to OSA. Sleep Apnea will no longer be an issue for the both of you, and you can say goodbye to snoring. Gasp For Breath When Falling Asleep

|Green Roof, Extensive - Nature Irrigation via Dew
|Green Roof, Extensive - Wind Damage
The above photos show two edges of a small trial extensive green roof.
The top photo portrays the amount of available water vapor in the form of dew. As is usual for Jacksonville, we experience prolonged droughts. It has not rained for a week and we are well behind in our 52 week rainfall accumulation. However water vapor usually offers a steady supply of condensation on a daily basis. Click on the top photo for an enlarged view of the green roof plants and the dew condensed on the leaf blades.
The bottom photo shows the northeast corner edge of the 50mm thick green roof. This edge takes the initial wind impact of most daily winds as the other corners are more protected. Winds at speeds of only 2 meters per second can evaporate plant leaf water stores faster than the plants vascular system can resupply the leaf with moisture. Without water, CO2 cannot be absorbed and photosynthesis may not occur.
Additionally, desiccating winds can collapse leaf structure, rupturing vacuoles and other cells causing permanent and possibly fatal damage to the plant.
Surprisingly, many designers do not look to wind as the cause of green roof plant problems. Yet the wind phenomena is not only restricted to green roofs. I was speaking to a group of professionals last week and a landscape architect from Orlando mentioned how on busy highways where automobile induced wind currents continually hit landscape plants placed in the median areas, those plants are difficult to keep alive.
Parapets are one answer but how do you prevent the wind induced green roof 'dead zones' from occurring on an exposed roof?
The answer lies in proper integration of wind resistant plants, such as the CAM plants we've discussed. CAM plants can serve as wind break plants for C4 and C3 interior placed green roof plants. Remember, for best biodiversity results follow the 10/20/30 rule. Of course one can design a green roof with wind resistant plants from only one Genus, such as only Sedum, but biodiversity opportunities suffer greatly when rooftop monocultures are used.
All wind exposed green roofs will have perimeter dead zones.
Depending on the strength and water vapor content of the wind, this 'dead zone' can be from 50mm to 50cm in width or more.
Understanding how the wind travels across the roof, and the combined interactions with available light are crucial to placement of CAM plants as wind breaks.
Finally, pumping additional water and adding fertilizer will not solve wind issues. Know your prevailing wind directions across the green roof. Design properly with wind resistant plants as wind breaks and you can minimize the effects of winds across green roofs.

Health Plan Issues Arise in Transition Plan for ADHC
APS Healthcare -- one of the firms that the state could contract with under the adult day health care services transition -- earlier this year paid $13 million to the U.S. Department of Justice to settle allegations that it did not provide services to hundreds of Georgia Medicaid beneficiaries. Meanwhile, the California Association of Health Plans -- a trade group representing managed care plans -- has sent a letter to the state Department of Health Care Services stating that managed care plans "are not responsible for" administering services previously provided by ADHC centers and that state officials should "temper beneficiaries' expectations" of what benefits might be offered.

Benefits of Hiring Marketing Agency
Digital marketing is a proven method of helping a firm or business develop tactics and strategies that helps to boost performance. An experienced marketing team has the necessary skills and experience that you need to hire in your business to improve performance by developing efficient marketing tactics. This article will explain to you the advantages of employing a digital marketing team to your marketing department.
Perhaps the best benefit you will get from hiring a digital marketing team is that you will have an entire team of marketing experts on your business. A digital marketing team possess diverse range of skills, knowledge and experience that you may not posses to be able to market your business effectively. A creative quality marketing agency will be able to come up with more relevant and interesting solutions that will focus on your target customers by solving their problems.
Marketing of a business is indeed a difficult and tiresome work hence by hiring a marketing team all this burden will be uplifted and you can be able to concentrate on other fields of your business. A specialized marketing agency knows well about the changing trends in the market hence will be able to adapt to changes since it's their area of speciality. In addition, a marketing team will always bring you valuable advice on how to improve your marketing to ensure that your business is always succedding. Depending on your internal team to develop marketing tactics may likely cause disagreements among themselves due to luck of sufficient skills in marketing.
To have an efficient and increase in productivity of your business, you will need to look for a marketing team that can gain access to the latest technology such as software's that are useful to improving your business marketing performance. Furthermore, by having a qualified marketing team you won't have to search through the internet for your own software to use for marketing. Similarly, hiring an agency especially a qualified one will be able to access state of the art software that can display how your business is performing.
Since you will be aiming at minimising your operating costs, a marketing agency will help since it will establish strategies that will make you pay lower costs on your advertising. A full time executive may not have all the skills that a full marketing team with different people specialized in their sector may have. Learning internet marketing needs a lot of time, energy and money and therefore by hiring an agency you will be able to avoid all this unnecessary option for you to take.

Maraschino Cherry Nut Bread makes a wonderful homemade gift. Everyone will enjoy this tasty quick bread.
- 2 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup butter (melted and cooled)
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla (or juice from cherry jar or cherry liqueur)
- 1 cup nuts (chopped and lightly toasted)
- 1 cup maraschino cherries (chopped)
Steps to Make It
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour one 8-inch by 4-inch or two 6-inch by 3-inch mini loaf pans. Combine the flour, baking soda and salt in a large bowl with a wire whisk. Set the bowl aside.
In a smaller bowl, beat the sugar and the eggs. Beat in the butter, milk and vanilla until well mixed. Add the wet ingredients to dry. Only mix until moistened. Carefully, stir in nuts and cherries.
Spoon the batter into the prepared pans.
Bake the 8-inch pans for 55 - 60 minutes. Bake the mini pans for 45 minutes. Cool in pans on cooling rack for five minutes.
Remove the bread from the pans to finish cooling on the cooling racks.
Like all quick breads, this bread will taste better if it is wrapped up tightly and allowed to rest for a day before eating. Then again, if the bread is consumed while still warm from the oven, I prefer to use an electric knife to cut the bread. It will be less likely to fall apart while cutting.
This Maraschino Nut Bread Freezes Beautifully. Wrap bread tightly in plastic wrap and then place it in a resealable freezer bag. Bread will keep its original flavor for about 3 months in the freezer.
Notes in the Margin:
*For nuts, use pecans, walnuts, slivered almonds, hazelnuts or etc. If salted nuts are used, don't add the salt as listed in the recipe. Salted nuts don't need to be toasted.
Favorite Quick Breads:
Banana Bread
When the bananas become overripe, I know it's time to make banana bread. This is the recipe I've used since I was still living with my parents. It makes two 9-inch loaves. I keep one out and I freeze the other one for later. Actually, these days the second loaf ends up with my daughter who is away at college.
Dark Chocolate Zucchini Muffins
You can't go wrong with this recipe. It's made with zucchini, a squash vegetable, whole wheat flour and dark chocolate. Spread a little butter on a warm Dark Chocolate Zucchini Muffin and you'll be sold, too.
Food Trivia:
Quick breads are so named, because they are "quicker to make". They are not made with yeast like traditional bread. Quick bread recipes call for baking soda or baking power as their leavening agent, so there's not extra time needed for the bread to rise. Quick breads are also heavier due to the lack of yeast, which puts air into the bread. Most, but not all, quick breads are sweet. The ones that are not sweet, or only lightly sweet, are breads like cornbread and hush puppies.

For many people, Sunday is a day of relaxation and preparation for the new work week.
But this past Sunday was filled with nothing but anxiety and excitement as fans everywhere awaited the Season 7 premiere of Game of Thrones.
And boyyyyy did HBO deliver! One of the most memorable moments from the season opener belonged to Arya Stark, played by the talented Maisie Williams.
After mastering the ability to become "no one," Arya embraces her full Faceless Men potential to take on the appearance of her latest victim, Walder Frey, aka the man who ruthlessly orchestrated the Red Wedding.
Arya uses her disguise to kill all of Lord Frey's loyal followers and then pulls off her mask like she's Harry Houdini's long lost protégé.
Then she walks out like a badass with this final message:
Well, Maisie Williams recently chatted with Entertainment Weekly to give her thoughts on the shocking scene:
When I heard first heard about the Faceless Men, I always thought it would be really cool if she switched faces with a leading character rather than an unknown person's face. I really hope [viewers] don't guess it's her straight away.
And fans aren't the only ones impressed by Arya's newfound powers. The 20-year-old actor says her character is just as surprised:
It's so f—ed up! Even Arya is surprised she has so much power. In that last moment she's staring out at all those men dying, she's turned into a bit more of a monster than she's ever realized. I don't think she's sad about that but she's got it on her mind.
Well, as a fan of the series, I can proudly say her darker side is definitely being praised. Continue to SLAY, Arya! (Pun very much intended.)

Our dear, sweet, brave, valiant, wonderful Sailing Kitty Mary left for kitty heaven on October 28, 2011 in Yorktown, VA. She was 19.5 years old and was with us for over 19 years. She loved sailing and being with us on the boat. She battled her cancer bravely and stoically and held on as long as she could. There is a big empty spot on the boat now and we miss her tremendously. We will post a photo of her shortly.
The crematory was super quick and had her ashes back to us in just a few days, so that she can go with us again to the Bahamas. The folks at Yorktown Animal Hospital also made us a Mary footprint in clay that we can keep with us. It is very special.
We would like to thank our veterinarians and their staffs who are the most knowledgable, most compassionate and wonderful people... Dr. Linda Atkins at Valley Cottage Animal Hospital, Dr. Dennis Bailey at Oradell Animal Hospital and Dr. Rita Gariboldi at Yorktown Animal Hospital.
It would have been even more difficult for us if we had not been supported by our new sailing friends Leighia, Cameron, Maya, Fynn and Mitzi on Tranquility and Elizabeth, Ed and Luna on Skylark. They were wonderful and extremely helpful and supportive. Thanks, dear friends!

Fun times ahead.....for future Marines...
Military.com | By Gina Harkins
MARINE CORPS BASE QUANTICO, Va. -- The Marine Corps could train as many as eight co-ed companies at boot camp each year, and the general overseeing the effort is hitting back against those complaining that the move is lowering training standards.
"Get over it," Maj. Gen. William Mullen, the head of Training and Education Command told Military.com on Thursday. "We're still making Marines like we used to. That has not changed."
Military Discount Active duty Military members could save more with GEICO. Get a quote today!
Mullen, a career infantry officer who has led troops in combat -- including in Fallujah, Iraq -- said Marines have likely been complaining about falling standards since 1775.
"I'm assuming that the second Marine walking into Tun Tavern was like 'You know ... our standards have gone down. They're just not the same as it they used to be,'" Mullen said, referring to the service's famous birthplace. "That has always been going on in the history of the Marine Corps."
The Marine Corps is currently training its second and third co-ed companies at its East Coast recruit depot in Parris Island, South Carolina, where men and women have historically been separated.
Some have suggested the move will destroy the Marine Corps. Others have called it disgusting, or said the all-male West Coast recruit depot remains the only true Marine Corps boot camp.
Commandant Gen. David Berger told Military.com this summer that Marines should expect more co-ed recruit training companies to move through Parris Island. And while Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego remains an all-male facility, Berger said he'd "look at what makes sense" on both coasts.
Related:New Marine Commandant: There Will 'Definitely' Be More Coed Companies at Boot Camp
Each of the co-ed companies is made up of six platoons -- one of which is all-female, and the other five all-male. That's the same model used by 3rd Recruit Training Battalion's India Company, the first-ever co-ed company to graduate from Parris Island earlier this year.
Mullen said the company's performance was on par with all-male or all-female companies.
"If anything, it went a little better because there's a little bit more competition with [each platoon] going, 'No, we need to beat them,' or 'We can't let them beat us,'" he said. "So there was a little bit of that effect. But other than that, there was no real difference."
Mullen recently directed the Marine Corps to commission an academic study on gender-integrated boot camp. He said it's important that the Marine Corps get an independent study of its enlisted entry-level training model to see if they have it right.
"How do you get to something that people just can't argue with?" he said. "... If an independent study, not affiliated with the Marine Corps, comes in and takes a hard, honest look at things in an unbiased way, how do you argue with that?"
Related: The Marines Want an Academic Study on the Cost, Impacts of Co-Ed Boot Camp
The men and women in the co-ed companies at Parris Island spend most of the first phase of boot camp, which runs the first four weeks, training at the platoon level. That means the all-female platoon mostly trains without men under the direction of women drill instructors.
That's by design, Mullen said, because it's important to establish a sense of teamwork at the platoon level. Once the recruits hit their second training phase when they hit the rifle range, take hikes, and practice land navigation or maneuver-under-fire-movements, he said the company trains as one a lot more.
"We think we have it right ... but how much of that is our own biases?" Mullen said. "How much of that is a 'we invented it here' kind of thing?"
Mullen said he's hoping the study -- which will look at how the other services train recruits, the costs associated with different training models, and how co-ed boot camp might affect a person's decision to join the Marine Corps -- will give them an objective view.
And if it shows the Marine Corps doesn't have the right idea when it comes to separating male and female recruits, at least at the start of their training, he said they'll adjust.
"We'd have to take a good hard look at it and say, 'OK, well, what are we going to do about it now?'" Mullen said.

The Coed Barracks living arrangements what about that ????
that "model" is not what I think of when I think "co-ed"... that is more along the lines of having an all boy's school with "one wing of the building" dedicated to female education... what I think of as "co-ed" is fully integrated platoons, barracks, showers, training, and other facilities (ala the movie "starship troopers")... I suspect it may eventually come to that, but the very first time some female recruit gets pregnant while in boot camp that particular "experiment" will most likely die an instant and unglamorous death...
Back in the beginning of 1967 when I went through PI we rarely trained with the other platoons, we had 3 platoons in my series. Also, I don't remember us having company names or even a series number though I'm sure we had one. Our platoon trained completely separate from the others from my remembrance.
Now, if they do start having REAL co-ed platoons I'd consider lying about my age and my prior service and enlisting again just for the experience - especially shower time. Just saying.
Can't you just see some Hard Corps D.I. showing an 18 year old female boot how to hold a Rifle. He would be behind her and up against her azz, with his arms around her, going through the drills, talking in a soft smooth voice. It would take 20 min. just to show her how to stand at Order Arms. Going to a male boot. Stopping in front of him....you rotten little left over sperm....I'll shove that weapon up your faggot azz and tickle your tonsils with it. If you don't get it right I won't let your Mama suck my Dikk anymore.
Yup, I was in 336 with the other 2 platoons 337 & 338. We were on the 1st floor of the 3 story building with the 3rd Herd. Graduated end of March 67.
I wonder if he felt the same way as a "young infantry officer". I doubt it very much, now that he is embedded in the world of PC Officers.

The middle is a good place to start. I can't start at the beginning. I did that January 2006 in Knitting – Why? The honest answer. I had surgery for skin cancer that May. What does that have to do with being in the middle? Or for that matter with a life/knitting blog? Quite a bit actually.
I'm in the middle of reshaping some of the dreams I voiced in that post. The long and short. The honest and the hard part? I was blindsided. Cancer at 39? Yep it sure was. I set the date. Had the surgery. Heard the surgeons words, "You won't be the same." Really was all I could think. He continued "I can't tell you how you'll heal, how the nerves will regenerate or how the loss of muscle and skin that's created the shortening of your neck will affect you. I can tell you, you 'll need to make some adjustments." What might those be? I remember inquiring. "I don't know. You'll have to learn them as you go."
Sooooo…along I went. With life. Didn't change a thing. Surgery one day. Off and running a week or so later. I still knit. I still taught, painted, designed, worked and went to school. All in all I held my initial dreams in a death grip.
"You'll have to learn as you go." He wasn't kidding. That obituary came back to haunt me. I heard the words. I really did. I just didn't absorb the words to my being. Which translated into not living my life in truth or with grace. I wasn't honoring the cancer or me.
Ain't hindsight wonderful? Really. It's not so bad. This life lesson only took 18 months (or so) to sink in. OK. Kick me in the arse. They should all be so short!
I'm learning to honor his words and me. I'm (publicly) putting one dream to bed an am weaving another. The dream I'm laying to rest is the one to be a knitwear designer. The result of my surgery has brutally shown me that I am unable to knit, swatch, design and do all the fine motor skills required, repeatedly, hour after hour, week after week. Actually I can do it, but not without incurring debilitating migraines, the loss of the use of my thumb, the ability to type or do day-to-day tasks. Life's to short to hold on that tight. I'll still knit and spin and create one offs. Just not as a prolific designer.
The dream I'm weaving includes the fiber arts of knitting, spinning, writing and the world and people that support us in our pursuits. These new dreams are in there infancy and are woven with fairy fiber. It's a powerful dream and it's coming.
That's not a middle. That's a new beginning.

(WVUE) - More cloud cover is expected across the area as a weak disturbance moves east out of the Plains.
This could help keep temperatures down a few degrees. Highs could stay in the 70s for those that see a good bit of cloud cover.
Not many folks will see any rain today and tomorrow, but whatever falls will be light. Skies will gradually clear from west to east on Thursday.
By the weekend, temperatures will once again warm to well above normal. The record-breaking warm October will resume with highs in the middle 80s. It will stay dry with lots of sunshine.

Your practice is likely serves many 'digital natives'—millenials, who rely heavily on electronic apps and online sources for their healthcare. The trend has only grown since a 2015 tech survey reporting that female millennials specifically spend 200% more time on health and fitness apps than do all other users. The rapid developments in digital health sites and apps have transformed the provider-patient relationship such that today you are not only responsible for providing information but also for guiding patients' search for and use of digital information. How can you advise your patients about the utility and the downfalls? Brian Nguyen and Leo Han recently curated a guide to digital resources relevant to family planning in the form of websites, mobile applications, and social media in Contraceptive Technology.
Irregular bleeding caused by hormonal methods and IUDs can be inconvenient and frustrating. Clinicians must not dismiss the impact of spotting, increased, or prolonged bleeding: they are major reasons for patients to discontinue their method. Here, from the authors of Contraceptive Technology, is a run-down of strategies for managing unscheduled bleeding associated with the various contraceptive methods, beginning with some general guidance.
There is heated controversy among feminists, researchers, sexual medicine specialists, and pharmaceutical companies over sexual desire and desire difficulties: how it is described, defined in the DSM, represented in the media, and most importantly, how to address or treat it. The current DSM-5 amalgamated female disorders of desire and arousal into a single diagnosis called "female sexual interest/arousal disorder," replacing the previous term of hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD). As Jenny Higgins and Patty Cason write in Contraceptive Technology, clinicians who interact with women concerned about levels of desire may be helped by understanding the changing perception and meaning of sexual desire, and the changing landscape within which sexual desire complaints have developed.
Now available in a new 21st edition, this well-known text with more than 2 million copies in print has been the leading family planning resource... Read more

Info for Clare Declares
"I wouldn't be me without Clare Fischer. (He) was a major influence on my harmonic concept. I was in awe of him." The praise for keyboardist, composer, arranger Fischer stems from no less than jazz great Herbie Hancock. Fischer's (1928-2012) influence has spanned the gamut of modern music. Nominated for 11 Grammies, Fischer arranged for the likes of Dizzy Gillespie, Al Jarreau, Paul McCartney, and Michael Jackson.
In 1985 he began a many-year collaboration with pop artist Prince, writing some 40 orchestral arrangements, including music for Prince's movies Under the Cherry Moon, Graffiti Bridge, and Batman. Fischer is also known for his playing and composing Latin music. "Pensativa" and "Morning" have become Latin jazz standards; in 1981 won a Grammy for best Latin record.
On And Ex-42 Fischer pulls out all the stops as he takes on the Yamaha ex-42 electric organ, and he has some of the West Coast's best-known sidemen with him. On Gershwin's classic standard Soon, Fischer's dense chords flesh out emotive images the song didn't even know it had. Fischer sensitively reinterprets Monk's classic Round Midnight, staying close to the melody while giving the voicings a new texture.
On Lennie's Pennies Fisher and saxophonist Gary Foster navigate legendary pianist Lennie Tristano's tricky-hip bop lines in unison, as Fischer turns the language of bop on its head. Fischer's Blues in F starts off as a cool, slow blues. Fischer and Foster heat it up, smoking in and out of the changes before returning to the original feel. Crystal Sunrise is a Latin-inflected piece that exhibits Fischer's amazing feel for Latin.

Clare Fischer
Born on October 22, 1928 in Durand, Michigan, Clare Fischer is an uncommonly versatile musician, a master with many muses. Trained in the classics, inspired by jazz artists, healed by the rhythms of Latin and Brazilian music, his eclectic sound finds expression in every chart and instrument he touches.
A veteran studio musician and a composer of rare quality, Fischer began his studies in Grand Rapids, Michigan, at South High School with director of music, Glenn Litton. After receiving his master's degree in composition from Michigan State University, where he studied with Dr. H. Owen Reed, he traveled extensively with "The Hi-Lo's" as pianist-conductor for 5 years. About the same time, his musical ascension began with his critically acclaimed arrangements for Dizzy Gillespie's "A Portrait of Duke Ellington." Fischer's influences, absorbed along the way, are as distinct as his music: Stravinsky and Shostakovich, Bartok and Berg, Dutilleux, boogie-woogie pianist Meade Lux Lewis, Nat "King" Cole, Duke Ellington, Bud Powell and early Lee Konitz – Fischer's self-expression knows no boundaries.
"I relate to everything," he explains. "I'm not just jazz, Latin, or classical. I really am a fusion of all of those, not today's fusion, but my fusion."
In 1983 classical concert artist Richard Stoltzman commissioned Fischer to write a symphonic work using Duke Ellington and Billy Strayhorn themes. The resulting composition, "The Duke, Swee'pea and Me," features Stoltzman on clarinet, and is performed with symphony orchestras around the world. More recently Fischer was commissioned by Stoltzman to write a "Sonatine for Clarinet and Piano" in three movements, which he has recorded with RCA on his album, "American Clarinet" and is being published by Advance Music in Germany.
In 1986 Clare won his second Grammy Award – this one for his album, "Free Fall," the first having been won in 1981 for his album, "Salsa Picante plus 2 + 2." Since that time he has spent more time as a jazz educator, performing solo piano concerts and conducting clinics and master classes in universities and music conservatories in Scandinavia, Europe and throughout the United States.
In the last few years Clare has appeared in Paris, Finland, Norway, Germany with the WDR Big Band, Holland with the Metropole Orchestra, Austria at the Vienna Konzerthaus and in Mexico City at the Ollin Yolítzli Concert Hall in a concert commemorating the music of Antonio Carlos Jobim on the anniversary of his death in December, 1996. In October of 1998 he performed at the Choro Festival with Hélio Delmiro in Sáo Paulo, Brazil and returned in July, 2000 for a three-city tour in that country with Delmiro. In May 2001 Clare completed a European tour teaching master classes and performing solo piano concerts in four countries.
In addition to Dizzie Gillespie, Fischer has written for Cal Tjader, George Shearing, Diane Schuur, Natalie Cole, Chaka Khan and Rufus, The Jacksons, Earl Klugh, Prince, Robert Palmer, Paul McCartney, Michael Jackson, Spike Lee, João Gilberto, Paula Abdul, and most recently Brian McKnight, Regina Belle, J. Spencer, Norman Whitfield, Branford Marsalis, Tori Amos, Terry Trotter, a French group – "Charts," a Japanese group – "Sing Like Talking," Vanessa Williams, Brandy, Tony! Toni! Toné! and many others. His arrangements for strings are truly a revelation.
Since beginning his professional career, Fischer has recorded over 45 albums as leader and has arranged, composed and/or played on another 100 plus albums for other recording artists. His discography reads like a "Who's Who" of the recording industry. Recent releases include "Clare Fischer's Jazz Corps," a big band album made up of 20 brass, 6 woodwinds plus rhythm; and "Symbiosis," recorded with Hélio Delmiro on unamplified Brazilian guitar and Clare on digital piano. In January 2001 Fischer produced his first classical CD, "After the Rain," made up entirely of his own symphonic works.
In December, 1999, Michigan State University School of Music conferred an Honorary Doctorate of Fine Arts Degree on Clare in recognition of his "creativity and excellence as a jazz composer, arranger and performer."
On January 8, 2012, Fischer suffered a cardiac arrest in Los Angeles, following a minor surgery a few days before. His wife of 18 years, Donna, was at his side and performed CPR. He remained in ICU on life support, and died on January 26, 2012. He is survived by his wife; three children, Lee, Brent and Tahlia; and two stepchildren, Lisa and Bill Bachman.

How to Lead a Sales Team Effectively. It takes skill and smarts to lead a sales team effectively and the reality is that failure to do so will affect your wallet. Leading and motivating a sales team takes practical knowledge, common sense and good training to be successful. Make the job easier by following a few proven strategies to bring in the sales and have a happier sales team.
Start by hiring the right people for the job. Not everyone is a born salesperson but finding enthusiastic employees who are eager to learn the business can go a long ways toward meeting your sales goals.
Set clearly defined and achievable team and individual sales goals. Goals that can't be met are the surest way to lower morale on a sales team. But be careful not to set the bar too low. Goals should reflect seasonal sales trends and the employees' growth curve.
Create an effective training schedule designed to provide real-world solutions a salesperson is likely to find helpful. Offer feedback on performance both good and bad in a constructive manner.
Understand changes or trends that affect your sales team from inside and out. New team members need time to fit in while new competition from outside can require a reworking of current sales strategy.
Motivate your sales team by providing daily, weekly or monthly financial incentives. This can include trips, items or the standard cash incentive. Recognize team and individual efforts on a regular and predetermined schedule.
