Recently, we caught up with entrepreneur Aristotle Loumis. He spoke candidly about his journey, what's next, and Marcus Lemonis. Check this out! [Q&A]
Catching up with Aristotle Loumis
Many exciting developments have occurred since we met up with Aristotle Loumis in 2016. Late last month, we caught up with the founder of Ellison Eyewear, who is now also president of the Marcus Lemonis Eyewear Group. We talked about his journey, and what's next.
Maria A. Karamitsos: When did you start Ellison?
Aristotle Loumis: The seeds of the idea were planted in 2011, though we officially launched in 2014.

MAK: You're proud of your Greek heritage. Everything you do relates to your culture and giving back to Greece. Why was it so important to create a company that could celebrate that?
AL: I grew up in Greek household, one of 8 kids raised by a single mother. I always had a sense of it, though I believe we Greek-Americans have a filtered image of what Greece and Greek culture are like.
When I was 18 I went to Greece for the first time, where I also met my father for the very first time. It was also the first time I dipped my toes in the sea and was introduced to the rich history. The experience had a huge impact on me. I found my culture, and in turn, found myself. All those missing pieces I had growing up fell into place; everything made sense. As an American, while everyone saw chaos and crisis in Greece, I saw opportunity. That's the way we are bred here in U.S. I'd fallen in love with everything in Greece. At the time, I was studying dentistry. My father is an entrepreneur, and for the first time, I saw there was something else besides medicine, law, and engineering, that could be a meaningful career. I saw there was an opportunity to take something that was impactful and influential to me and do my part to cultivate and honor that –and do it in a way that has mass appeal. Ellison was inspired by Greece and the Greek lifestyle. We're the first sunglasses manufacturer in Greece.
MAK: How did you meet Marcus Lemonis?
AL: In 2017, I got product into one of the Marcus Lemonis stores. We sold out in the first week! They ordered more, and I negotiated for a second store. Both stores sold out. We were then able to solidify a exclusive partnership and roll out to all 23 stores. With the Ellison brand seeing early success, The Lemonis Team took an interest in the actual business, and we began to explore what a long-term relationship with Marcus could look like. The loved my very authentic, raw, story. They asked, "What are you doing with the company?" I was candid, I explained to challenges that faced us, the competitive landscape, and that we would ultimately need a strategic investment to catapult it. After building a trusted relationship, the executive team said they were interested – but I had to apply to be on the show and share my story. I'm not afraid to tell it so I went for it, and I got in.

MAK: When did you go on 'The Profit'?
AL: We started filming in November 2017 – for 8 months. It was one of the longest stretches on the show, because they wanted to challenge me and see how things would evolve. Only then could I meet Marcus to begin negotiations. I put my heart and my story out there.
MAK: The result?
AL: I ended up securing one of the larger deals with Marcus. Since then, I've become president of Marcus Lemonis Eyewear Group and a partner in the ML Fashion Group. I oversee my portfolio, including Ellison Eyewear. It's a total of 18 companies, but my major focus is growing my own portfolio.
MAK: What's Marcus Lemonis like?
AL: He's the opposite of what you think. He, along with the rest of the executive team, have really taken me under his wing – like a big brother. He's genuine, sincere about helping people and small businesses. He's invested heavily on the financial return, but it goes deeper than that. We both connected on Greek fundamentals our pathos, (passion), filotimo (philanthropy) — which was something that initially appealed to me about having him as a partner. Sure, he's tough, but if you do right by him and give your best effort, he will take care of you.
MAK: What's next?
AL: We launched June 26, 2018 and sold out in two days. Our Fall/Winter collection will be out next week. It's the first with the new group – and all made in Greece. Next up are some new categories of eyewear, made for specific groups, and opening up Ellison branded flagship stores — we have 3 flagships stores currently in the pipeline.
I'm learning a lot from Marcus, and the ML Fashion Group. I greatly admire how he supports women and minorities in business and helps entrepreneurs. I want to carry that torch and foster the growth of the next generation of entrepreneurs.

Teenagers in Gravesend are launching a new podcast this week for 'Time To Talk' Day – the national campaign encouraging conversation around mental health.
Called 'Thrive', the podcast will be available to listen to online from the morning of Thursday 7 February and hopes to show others that they are not alone and that support is on hand with conversations that are energetic, insightful, poignant and funny.
Four young people, aged 15 to 19-years-old, host and feature in the show, talking about everything from what it is to be a young person in 2019 including the daily pressures they face, school and careers, social media, bullying, friendships and stress. The podcast aims to break down barriers and discuss subjects they might never talk about openly.
Mason aged 16, Princess aged 18 and 15-year-olds Emma and Jamal, who are all from Gravesham, have now recorded three episodes of the show together, with the aim to release one a month. Mason said: "We regularly discuss a range of different issues that affect young people when we meet at The Grand, so it seemed a natural fit to put it online as a podcast. We cover some difficult topics but we laugh a lot too. We want to normalise those awkward and embarrassing conversations which many of us may feel shy to approach, and hopefully help to break down the stigma surrounding these issues."
The Grand Healthy Living Centre in Gravesend has assisted the young podcasters to produce the show, working with locally based media professionals who will teach the group the technical skills needed to record and edit the discussions. The long-term goal is that the group will run every element of the production.
Youth workers at The Grand have conversations with young people every day about the challenges they are facing. The new podcast allows every young person in the borough to hear from their friends and their peers, to get advice, hear opinions and know that support is on hand from the youth team in the borough.
Jackie Coupar, Youth Work Manager at The Grand, said: "We want to reach any young person who feels isolated, is struggling with life or just wants to hear the views of their friends and peers. It deals with the real things kids are facing these days. It's frank, it's funny, it's refreshing and importantly, it lets our young people know that there are services available locally to help them.
"We work face-to-face with hundreds of young people, but we know there are thousands more in Gravesham who don't access the advice on offer. Having a podcast means that anyone can listen at any time of day – in the privacy of their own home or on the bus to school."
The Grand's youth service, called Gifted Young Generation, offers young people a peer-to-peer support group, a professional counselling service as well as a wide range of creative workshops, which see young people grow in confidence, learn new skills and make new friends. Thrive podcast is available to listen to online at: https://anchor.fm/thegrand
Kent County Council's Deputy Director for Public health, Allison Duggal said: "We know that talking and sharing feelings and thoughts help. It can also be the first step to accessing professional support if it is needed. At the same time, we know that talking and sharing is hard so we have provided lots of useful information, videos, access to training and information on services on the Kent Resilience Hub at www.headstartkent.org.uk
"These resources help young people, parents, carers and workers start that conversation by recognising all the strengths in a young person's life which are contributing to their resilience, their wellbeing and are helping them to cope and thrive even when things are tough."
KCC commissions community mental health support services for adults through Live Well Kent which is run by charities Porchlight and Shaw Trust. More information can be found at www.livewellkent.org.uk
It is also reminding residents of its 'Release the Pressure' helpline this Time to Talk day – call free on 0800 107 0160 where support is available from trained and experienced staff 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The campaign website www.releasethepressure.uk also includes case studies from people in Kent who have turned their lives around after attempting suicide.
Note to newsdesks:

Popular Routes
Tutorial Videos
We too have been looking for a motoring tool to map out our drives. Since as a car club we make various stops along the way, it would be great to know exactly how long from each point it should take (doing the speed limit of course) so we can have others meet us at the Points of Interest along the route. Many times our car club starts at point A and travels to point B to end up at point C. Some people prefer to meet at point B and only do the final leg of the trip. If we had a way to know when we should be there then it makes it easier for those to meet or catch up later. Of course these are British cars, so sometimes we have folks start with us and then have to stop for roadside repairs but they would like to meet us further down the route to continue. Having some form of estimated times would be very helpful, especially if you could add a meeting start time to the playback.
Hi Frank - Thanks for your kinds feedback about the site. I've added your suggestion to our Feature Requests list (number 47) - anyone interested in it can vote for it there. This would be quite difficult and expensive for us to do I think, as journey time estimates for motor vehicles are competely different to the other activities we support - they depend on speed limits and traffic rather than human effort! That's not to say there might not be a solution but the way the route planner currently works doesn't lend itself to this.
I see if i were creating a route for walking or cycling there is the option to see how long it would take to complete a route. Could it be possible to add this feature to routes we create as driving routes such as the motorcycle option?
thanks. Awesome tool by the way as you can see by all the routes i have created!

I'm really loving grey this season... Here are a few things that I LOVE!
This shirt from Old Navy
This shirt from Old Navy
I also love the idea of matching a VERY plain outfit with a pop of color... like this awesome Coach Purse
If i had to go somewhere for a holiday party - i would have a difficult time resisting this outfit combo:
This dress from Francesca's
The shoes from Nine West
I had every intention on including this sweater from Target today, however, my wonderful BF got me an early xmas present (probably because i was whining) and now it is sitting in my living room - but I can't wait to wear this with a white long sleeve shirt underneath
We also have a visitor with us for the next few days - starting tonight through Sunday. Her name is Gracie, she is a silver lab.
and here she is hanging out with my favorite boy!

Many of us are stressed, disappointed or frightened by a Donald Trump win. But let's look at what connects us to Trump supporters: We too are fed up with politics as usual in the nation. Though we may be concerned about the racist and sexist attitudes he exhibits, though we may be horrified by his lack of depth and flippant talk, though we may be anxious about his regressive tax proposals, not all of his supporters mirror those qualities and beliefs. Many are like us and are just tired of a corrupt political system where they feel left out.
Those who opposed Trump need to stay calm and centered. And we need to seize the opportunity to promote positive change in our nation. We at TheInnerRevolution.Org are challenging Trump to live up to his populist message and confront the powers-that-be for the good of all of us, including all genders, races and religions. And we need to reach out to support one another so that we can focus on uniting with everyone to co-create a movement that will count.
Friends, we realize that sometimes the waves of change are frightening, and sometimes they turn against us. But we are praying, praying that those of us who did not support Trump can connect to the hearts of those who did. And we are praying that underneath what seems like a tide of racism and sexism, we are actually seeing glimpses of a tide of protest and empowerment for ordinary people who may need to feel that someone cares about them, too. And so, let us take heart and find a way to connect to all Americans who know instinctively that what we need is an Inner Revolution of love, compassion and accountability.

What approach do you use for maintaining your field uniform when camping? I've carried conventional hangers with me in the past but keep thinking it would be great to have a folding hanger so my uniform can be hung up in the tent. I was originally looking for something like what the German agent had in the first Indiana Jones movie, but found this instead:
Has anybody had experience with anything like this? Hanging the uniform on a tree isn't always an option out here on the prairie...

Taipei, Oct. 17 (CNA) The docking of an American Navy research vessel in Kaohsiung is not related to military cooperation between Taiwan and the United States and should not further antagonize Beijing, Foreign Minister Joseph Wu (吳釗燮) said Wednesday.The Thomas G. Thompson entered the port in the southern city on Monday for refueling and changes to crew arrangements. It will leave Thursday for Australia, according to Taiwan International Ports Corp., which manages the port.The American Institute in Taiwan (AIT) also confirmed the visit to CNA.The Ministry of National Defense (MND) said Tuesday the visit of the ship owned by the U.S. Navy Office of Naval Research is to collect maritime information data in waters surrounding Taiwan in cooperation with research fellows at National Taiwan University (NTU) and has no military purpose.Wu reiterated the MND's stance that the visit has nothing to do with ongoing Taiwan-U.S. military cooperation.Some media outlets in Taiwan have speculated that the vessel's port call in Taiwan could be related to U.S. plans for a global show of force to warn China and demonstrate resolve to deter military actions by Beijing.Asked if the port call strengthening Taiwan-U.S. cooperation could further anger China, Wu said he did not share the worry.This ship's latest port call is its fourth visit to Kaohsiung, and all of those trips have been made for scientific purposes only, he said.

KOTA KINABALU: Eight supreme council members of Parti Cinta Sabah (PCS) quit the party today, citing ideological differences and concerns over the party's choice of allies for the coming election.
The exodus, led by PCS deputy president Paul Voon, also included two other PCS deputy presidents Nicholas James Guntobon and Richard Gunting.
Others are the party's vice-president and Youth chief Hasmin Azroy Abdullah, information chief Ramdi Indang and supreme council members Melvin Jaikul, Lai Yun Thiam and Pinus Gondili.
Speaking at a press conference, Voon said they had submitted their resignation letters to the party and cancelled their membership with immediate effect.
"The party declared a covenant between itself and the people of Sabah, particularly the 'firstborn', in July last year.
"This means, the party should have an 'inclusive' identity based on the concept of the firstborn and family."
He explained that the term "firstborn" referred to the indigenous people of Sabah while "family" referred to Sabahans with legitimate rights of citizenship.
The "firstborn", Voon said, should be neutral and secular and therefore more inclusive as the party had always believed it would be the unifying factor for Sabahans.
He pointed out that in order to achieve self-determination, the firstborn and the family should be institutionalised as the "people of Sabah".
On the other hand, he said minorities would have certain "minority rights" but not the right of self-determination as the "people of Sabah" would have.
"The party's supreme council has agreed to this identity and direction.
"Unfortunately, recent moves, such as forming a pact with race-based Parti Anak Negeri Sabah (PAN), showed that PCS is moving towards 'minority rights'.
"This decision does not reflect what we have worked hard for in PCS.
"We wanted the party to be more than just a Kadazandusun Murut and Rungus (KDMR) party. It should be an indigenous party," he said.
Otherwise, Voon said, the party would just be another player in the current government's tactic of divide-and-rule, where the people of Sabah were separated based on their respective racial groups.
He also voiced his frustration over the party's reluctance to work with other mainstream opposition political parties, saying that this had effectively rendered the party irrelevant.
"If anything, PCS will be seen as a spoiler and will be splitting the votes. We want nothing to do with that.
"We want to work with the political parties that have the potential to change the current government."
Voon did not say what the group's next move would be and whether they would remain as independents or join other political parties.
It is understood, however, that some of those who left PCS are seriously considering joining Parti Warisan Sabah.
PCS president Wilfred Bumburing had, in recent weeks, accused Warisan of trying to monopolise state seats in the coming election, leaving PCS with marginal seats which were difficult to win.
The party's vice-president Kalakau Untol even implied that a certain party was trying to entice PCS leaders into joining them by offering them money.
Meanwhile, PCS confirmed it had received the resignation letters from the eight and a few others but did not reveal who the others were.
"Bumburing will explain the matter tomorrow at the PCS-PAN rally in Tenghilan," said the party in a statement.
PCS was one of the founding parties of the local opposition coalition, Gabungan Sabah, but left the alliance in 2017 after a falling-out with Star president Jeffrey Kitingan.
Bumburing had said that he left Gabungan in favour of a grand alliance which would see all opposition political parties under one umbrella, including national-based parties such as PKR and DAP, and not just Sabah local opposition parties.

Little: U.S. Forest Service should live up to its motto
Forest Service should live up to its motto
On Wednesday, Jan. 29, I led the Senior Center X Country Ski group on our annual ski of the Peaks Trail. The Snow Gods blessed us with 5 inches of fresh snow on Monday. We met at the Summit Stage stop at the community center to catch the 8:07 bus to the gondola in Breck. We took the gondola to Peak Seven and walked to the trailhead. We were on the trail by 9 a.m. It was a beautiful crisp, cold morning but the forest and the uphill climbs on the early part of the trail warmed us nicely. We enjoyed the "dense forest" as the trail cuts across the flanks of the Tenmile Range. Intermittent sun filtered through the forest canopy. Switchbacks were numerous as we crossed a number of drainages. As usual our group was impressed with basically healthy forest and the variety of tree species we encountered on the trail. The last section of the trail is fairly steep as it drops down to Miners Creek Road. Our group continued our ski to our lunch at our home in Bills Ranch.
As our group talked over lunch we all were hopeful that the logging contracts that are ongoing between Breckenridge and Ophir Mountain would maintain the integrity of the Peaks Trail which was built by the Forest Service with help from local volunteers and later improved by the Colorado Mountain Club and the Colorado Outdoor Education Center members. This beautiful trail used and enjoyed year-round by thousands of enthusiasts should not be compromised in any way. We can only hope that the U.S. Forest Service will live up to their motto: Caring for the land and serving people. We can only hope that the U.S. Forest Service will be moved by the same passion we have when it comes to them making decisions regarding preserving the beauty of our many trails.

Raipur: Security forces have unearthed a transit Naxal camp after a gun-battle with the ultras in insurgency-hit Kanker district, chhattisgarh."The face-off between a joint team of security personnel and rebels took place in restive Chalechur hills under Korar Police Station limits yesterday," Kanker Superintendent of Police, Jitendra Singh Meena, said.
Acting on a tip-off about the presence of rebels in Korar region, around 250 kms away from here, a joint squad of Border Security Force (BSF) and district force was dispatched. The ensuring gun-fight lasted for around half-an-hour before ultras fled to the core forests, police reported.
While security forces were encircling the Chalechur hills to clamp down on Naxals, some armed rebels spotted them and opened indiscriminate firing, following which jawans retaliated, the SP said. Later, during the search at the spot, a 2-kg tiffin bomb, ten Naxal bags, uniforms, radio, plastic tents, Naxal banners, literature, pamphlets, medicines and other Maoist related materials were recovered, SP added.

Safety Recommendation
On Thursday, October 1, 2015, the SS El Faro, a 40-year-old cargo ship owned by TOTE Maritime Puerto Rico and operated by TOTE Services, Inc., was on a regular route from Jacksonville, Florida, to San Juan, Puerto Rico, when it foundered and sank in the Atlantic Ocean about 40 nautical miles northeast of Acklins and Crooked Island, Bahamas. The ship had sailed directly into the path of Hurricane Joaquin, carrying a crew of 33, including 5 Polish contract repair workers. All those aboard perished in the sinking. As part of its accident investigation, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) led a joint effort with the US Navy, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, and the National Science Foundation to locate the ship's wreckage and retrieve its voyage data recorder (VDR). The VDR was pulled from 15,250 feet below the ocean surface in August 2016 during the third undersea mission and yielded more than 26 hours of parametric data and audio files. The NTSB's accident investigation identified the following safety issues: captain's actions, use of noncurrent weather information, late decision to muster the crew, ineffective bridge resource management, inadequate company oversight, company's safety management system, flooding in cargo holds, loss of propulsion, downflooding through ventilation closures, need for damage control plan, and lack of appropriate survival craft. The NTSB made safety recommendations to the US Coast Guard; the Federal Communications Commission; the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration; the International Association of Classification Societies; the American Bureau of Shipping; Furuno Electric Company, Ltd.; and TOTE Services, Inc.
TO TOTE SERVICES, INC.: Require senior officers to receive formal training approved by the manufacturer in all functions found in installed stability programs, including damage stability modules.

Safety Recommendation History
TOTE Services, Inc.
-From Jeff Dixon, President, TOTE Services, LLC: As stated in our May 7, 2018 letter, TOTE concurs with this recommendation. We conduct Senior Officer seminars every 18 months for our TOTE Maritime Masters and Chief Engineers. When available we open attendance to our Senior Officers from our MSC and MARAD managed vessels. The training in stability programs and damage stability modules is conducted at every Senior Officer seminar. Since the second update we have completed two Senior Officer seminars that included CargoMax training by Herbert Engineering naval architects. In attendance were all TOTE Masters and Chief Officers and Masters from several of our Military Sealift Command vessels. These training sessions covered the damage stability functions of the CargoMax software and a discussion on the enhanced damage stability features that TOTE implemented into its CargoMax programs on our TOTE vessels. Similar CargoMax training has been provided to appropriate shoreside personnel from TOTE Maritime Puerto Rico who plan and assist with loading operations for the Marlin Class vessels. The new features for current lashing profile parameters on our ABS approved stability software were also included in this training. Finally, as outlined on TOTE vessels' Emergency Station Bills, we have designated the Chief Mate as the Damage Control Officer. Designating the Chief Mate to stability duties allows the Master to concentrate on major emergency management, not a single aspect, during any damage control situation. Providing CargoMax and professional damage control training to our Chief Mates elevates their competency in assessing damaged stability situations and leading the damage control team to mitigate physical damage impacts to the vessel. We believe Recommendation M-17-67 has been fully and appropriately addressed.
TOTE Services, Inc.
We note that you have implemented a formal CargoMax training program for appropriate TOTE deck officers assigned to your Marlin class vessels, and that you plan to institute a similar program for your Orca class vessels. We further note that you also intend to designate the chief mates of all of your vessels as damage control officers, and to ensure that all chief mates and masters are trained in the use of onboard damage stability features in CargoMax. Pending completion of these actions, Safety Recommendation M-17-67 is classified OPEN--ACCEPTABLE RESPONSE.
TOTE Services, Inc.
-From Philip H. Greene, Jr., President, TOTE Services, Inc.: As stated in our letter dated May 7, 2018, TOTE concurs with this recommendation. As previously reported, we have implemented a formal CargoMax training program for appropriate TOTE deck officers assigned to our Marlin Class vessels, and we have instituted a similar program for the Orca Class vessels. Most recently, this training occurred at our Afloat Senior Officer's Conference held in September 2018, and the remaining officers will receive this training at the next Officer's Conference in November 2018. Two convenings of the senior officer conference are now held every eighteen months to facilitate training and collaboration among our officers. Similar CargoMax training has been provided to appropriate shoreside personnel from TOTE Maritime Puerto Rico, who assist with loading operations for the Marlin Class vessels. This occurred in March and June 2017. TOTE Maritime Alaska personnel do not input CargoMax data for the Orca Class vessels, and therefore those shoreside personnel do not receive such training. Finally, we are designating the Chief Mate, serving onboard all vessels owned by TOTE-affiliated entities, as the Damage Control Officer. In connection with this initiative, Herbert Engineering provided training on CargoMax Damage Stability module at our Senior Officer's Conference held in September 2018, and the remaining officers will receive this training at the next Senior Officer's Conference in November 2018. This training covers all of the Masters, Chief Mates, Chief Engineers, and 1st Asst Engineers for all vessels owned by TOTE-affiliated entities. We will keep you apprised of our progress in completing this effort.
TOTE Services, Inc.
-From Philip H. Greene, Jr., President, TOTE Services, Inc. and Timothy Nolan, President, TOTE Maritime Puerto Rico: This letter acknowledges the e-mail of February 7, 2018, in which the Executive Secretariat, Office of the Managing Director, National Transportation Safety Board ("NTSB") formally issued certain safety recommendations to TOTE Services, Inc. ("TOTE"). We have organized our responses below to correspond with the numbered safety recommendations to TOTE contained in the final report. Please note that all of the NTSB's safety recommendations involve changes to vessel operations or capital improvements that exceed existing minimum standards set by law. Accordingly, as discussed further below, some recommendations, if adopted, may require capital improvements or other changes to vessels that are within the exclusive purview of the vessel owner, not the vessel operator. Accordingly, for vessels we manage that are not owned by one of our affiliated companies, we are contacting these external customers by letter to make them aware of these recommendations, so that they may consider these issues and initiate whatever changes they deem appropriate. Therefore, in many cases below, the response we provide only applies to the vessels that are owned by our affiliated companies. We try to make that distinction clear with respect to each recommendation. Additionally, please note that in our Supplemental Party Submission, submitted to the NTSB on January 11, 2018, we identified a number of factual errors that were stated on the record by certain staff at the NTSB's Public Meeting. Our intent was for the public record to be clear, but many of the errors we raised were not corrected or otherwise addressed when the final NTSB report was published. In some cases below, we point out these errors, not to be argumentative, but to ensure implementation of the changes we are making to our safety procedures are put in their proper factual and operational context. TOTE Response: TOTE concurs with this recommendation. We have implemented a formal CargoMax training program for appropriate TOTE deck officers assigned to our Marlin Class vessels, and we anticipate instituting a similar program for the Orca Class vessels. Similar CargoMax training is being provided to appropriate shoreside personnel from TOTE Maritime Puerto Rico who assist with loading operations for the Marlin Class vessels. TOTE Maritime Alaska personnel do not input CargoMax data for the Orca Class vessels, and therefore those shoreside personnel do not receive such training. We also intend to have the Chief Mate of all vessels owned by TOTE-affiliated entities designated as a Damage Control Officer, and ensure the Chief Mate and Master are trained in the use of onboard damage stability features in CargoMax. The Chief Mate will be designated to assist the Master with damage control response/operations in the damage control plan or similar guidance onboard. The Chief Mate, rather than the Master, was chosen for this role to ensure the Master is fully dedicated to his or her broader leadership role in managing all aspects of vessel operations, safety, and casualty response. This capability is intended to supplement, rather than replace, the damage stability support rendered from TOTE's shoreside resources and RRDA during a casualty response. We will keep you apprised of our progress in completing this effort.
TOTE Services, Inc.
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is an independent federal agency charged by Congress with investigating every civil aviation accident in the United States and significant accidents in other modes of transportation—railroad, highway, marine, and pipeline. We determine the probable cause of the accidents and issue safety recommendations aimed at preventing future accidents. In addition, we carry out special studies concerning transportation safety and coordinate the resources of the federal government and other organizations to provide assistance to victims and their family members affected by major transportation disasters. On December 12, 2017, the NTSB adopted its report Sinking of US Cargo Vessel SS El Faro, Atlantic Ocean, Northeast of Acklins and Crooked Island, Bahamas, October 1, 2015, NTSB/MAR-17/01. The details of this accident investigation and the resulting safety recommendations may be found in the attached report, which can also be accessed at http://www.ntsb.gov. Among the safety recommendations are 10 issued to TOTE Services, Inc., which can be found on pages 253–254 of the report. The NTSB is vitally interested in these recommendations because they are designed to prevent accidents and save lives. We would appreciate a response within 90 days, detailing the actions you have taken or intend to take to implement these recommendations. When replying, please refer to the safety recommendations by number.

Before I begin writing this short blurb, I would like to say that writing (almost) every single day is one of the most therapeutic things I've implemented in my life. It gets my blood flowing and my heart pounding. Yes, I understand that there is, on average, only 55 unique people reading this blog… at least I'm establishing good habits.
The list goes on. In addition, I'm not "half-assing" my blog posts. This means I re-read them for grammatical errors. (Though I don't really have the energy or the time to re-read through them twice, I will say that I do give my best effort).
Anyway, today I've been thinking about the team I'm working with at the moment. I'm not going to lie when I say, that for the first time in my life, I AM IN LOVE WITH MY TEAM. They make me smile in so many different ways that I cannot hold in my heart as it pops out of my chest. No, I'm not going to be writing how to work with a great team or what makes a great team: those are longer posts and will be written in later days.
But before I explain further about working with a great team. I just want to say that there are workers who don't get anything if they get injured on the job. Workers' Compensation lawyer in Columbus, GA always work with their clients and they have done so much for the workers before and they are commended very well on what they do.
Today I'm writing about the benefits of working with a great team. Yes, today's posts is short, simple, brief, and any other term which relates to "quick."
The Benefits of Working With a Great Team
The people you work with is very important to your work-happiness. In time, you will see that you'll spend more time in your workspace than any other room in the world. This means the people you're working with will become, at times, people who you'll see more than your girlfriend, your family, and even your best friend.
Therefore, wouldn't it be nice to work with people who make you happy? Wouldn't it be nice to work with people who will push you to be your best? Wouldn't it be nice to work with people who you end up calling "your friend?"
Working with a great team means I don't want to run out of the office. Working with a great team means I don't want to day dream and let my teammates down: their success is my success because their happiness makes me happy. I've never been so invigorated in my entire life and I've never been so enthralled and inspired to do great work.
My advice to you? Make sure you're working with people who you can trust, who motivate you, who inspire you, and who make you feel happy. It'll keep you sane, it'll make you work harder, and it'll inspire you to do AMAZING things where you work.
Thank you for listening.

The photo above is the view from my window this morning. Growing up, my family always had a paucity of pictures. We have one half-filled album of baby pictures for the whole family and not everyone is included. When the moment comes where one of us is required procure a photo collage for a yearbook, panic and frustration ensues. If we happen to remember to bring a camera on vacation, you can be sure that the subject matter will consist of birds in their natural environment and scenic views. Perhaps one or two of us will be captured in the periphery of the lens, but it will probably be more coincidental than intentional. We managed to take a family picture at Christmas this year, mostly because our persevering sister-in-law somehow convinced everyone that we'd be be grateful for it later on, but it was still a torturous experience. My sister Lizzy is also contributing to improvements in our situation with her love of photography and good eye for capturing candid moments.
I can't say the same for myself. While living in Mexico and Lebanon I barely took pictures. In two of my visits to Europe I did not take any pictures at all. When I went to see a friend in Kenya, I was extremely determined to document my memories, but I still felt as though touting a camera everywhere made me less present to the moment and put a barrier between myself and my first-hand experience of the world. Do I regret not having visual mementos? Absolutely. Will that regret push me to remember my camera in the future? Probably not, unfortunately.
Enter the food blog. It seems that cooking (and, let's be honest, instagram) is already ushering forth miraculous changes in my life. Suddenly I am not only remembering to snap pictures, but I am also doing the very best my amateur self can do to find good lighting and flattering angles. Unfortunately, last evening, I caved to my hunger and failed to record evidence of the mouth-watering meal that my dad prepared. Words will have to suffice. The smells crept through the house before I had the chance to peek into the oven and see what they were originating from. There were slabs of pink salmon served atop toasty kale in a pan alongside wedges of orange. On the stovetop were slices of zucchini that had been coaxed to perfection with the surprising addition of some buttery cinnamon concoction. The tastes presented themselves one after another until they united in a sensational medley. It was picture worthy, yes, but I couldn't wait for the superfluous photographic set-up. Despite my new picture-snapping habit, there are still times when it will ruin the moment.
So, although I really appreciate the art of photography, I am still a bit wary of it for myself. My caution is not to let capturing the moment for the future take precedence over living in the moment itself. In any case, I do wish I had a picture of last night's meal. And about that meal, eat salmon in the wintertime as well as the summer. Its B vitamins will boost the metabolism; its mineral content of selenium, phosphorus, magnesium and potassium will regulate the thyroid and strengthen the bones and muscles, and its omega-3 fats will support healthy cardiac functions. Just be sure to buy wild-caught as opposed to farm-raised salmon. Salmon is simple and delicious, and I'll certainly be posting a recipe along with photographic accompaniment in the near future.

I Really Don't Think The Clinton's Care.
Well that's a pretty broad statement seeing as neither one of them have any shame or sense of morality. It's not like that even if she is forced to slink back to Chappaqua like spurned dog, she or Bill will ever shut the fuck up. Besides, under current law she will be allowed to keep all those campaign contributions. She'll keep soliciting money right up to the very last possible minute and then cackle all the way to whatever slush fund she can hide the deposits in. Then you can bet that they'll cook the campaigns books to make it look like she spent every dime so the poor church mice from Arkansas can go out and beg for more to pay her alleged debts. Lord forgive me but I do so hate these people.

I never seem to get up early enough to make breakfast in the mornings, so I always opt for recipes I can make the night before. The versatile frittata has quickly become one of my staple breakfasts for this reason. If you're not familiar, a frittata is similar to a quiche but without the crust. I usually have plenty of eggs on hand and use whatever combination of fresh veggies we get from our CSA that week. You can modify it based on your dietary needs (vegetarian, paleo, dairy free, etc ) and it's pretty hard to mess up (important for me!). You can use whatever veggies you prefer, but here are some possibilities:
- Chopped broccoli
- Cherry tomatoes
- Red onions
- Mushrooms
- Zucchini
- Bell peppers
- Asparagus
- Yellow squash
- Artichokes
- Brussel sprouts
- Spinach
- Garlic
If you consume dairy, these cheeses work well:
- Crumbled feta
- Grated parmesan
- Grated cheddar
Meat isn't required, but if you want to include it, here are some options:
- Chicken sausage (Bilinski's is my favorite brand)
- Ground bison/beef/lamb/chicken
- Turkey or Pork Bacon
- Italian sausage
- Chopped Ham
Once you've gathered your ingredients, saute your meat (if using) and veggies in a heat-safe oil (coconut or grapeseed), being sure to drain off any excess grease/water. Next, whisk 6-8 eggs (more eggs will make it fluffier) together in a large bowl along with 1/2 cup milk (can substitute almond milk), and your favorite spices. I like to use Himalayan salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, and cumin. Combine the egg mixture, veggies, meat, and cheese in the bowl, then pour into a lightly-greased oven-safe skillet or baking dish. Bake in the oven at 350 for about 15 minutes.
Once done, cut into squares or slices. I like to top with salsa or nutritional yeast. You can eat it cold or hot and it usually lasts me 3-4 days if I make a large pan of it. You'll be set with a healthy and delicious breakfast!

This project integrates the concepts of curriculum design, together with aspects of lesson planning taking into consideration the abilities, level and learning styles of the students. In addition, utilizing the practices put forward under constructivism, we aim to encourage participation and interest of students, within group and individual activities. The teacher acts as facilitator and guide, providing support, feedback and praise where applicable.
Bruner and Haste (1987) described learning as a complex link of language, interaction and cognition. They advocated that it is through interaction and the practice of communication that people learn and that the teacher's role is to ...view middle of the document...
• Appreciate the use of mean, mode and median in solving real life problems.
Prerequisite knowledge:
Collecting Data,
Analysing and Tabulating/representing data,
Awareness of mean, median, and mode,
Ordering of numbers,
Students should be computer literate,
Basic arithmetic operations
• The classification and tabulation of data.
• Definitions of 'average'; 'mean'; 'mode'; and 'median'.
• Determination of mean, mode and median from collected data and when each should be used.
• Uses of mean, mode and median in real-life.
• Defining the terms 'average', 'mean', 'mode', and 'median';
• Determining the mean, mode and median from given data and deduce when each should be used;
• Identifying the uses of the mean, mode and median in real-life situations.
Teacher's I pad/computer with a playlist of teen popular music,
Data collection sheets,
Computer games,
Student's tablets with downloaded game,
Data from statistics division,
Instruction sheets for group activity
Introduction to lesson:
• Teacher comes into class with her IPad playing a popular teen hit song loud enough to get students attention. When students show interest teacher informs them that she has quite a few others on her device and offers to play a few for the students to tell which one they like best.
• The teacher records the data on the board and then asks, "If we were to select the number that represents the most like song what would that represent in statistics?"
• Teacher tries to pull out the term mode from students. Teacher asks students to recall the other two terms associated with the mode and ask students to explain how they would find these information using the data.
Teacher explains to class that the government of country X wants to calculate the Average household size as a part of some economic inquiry to make proposition for the country's budget. Explain that the statistic division is pressed to meet their deadline and is therefore, seeking the assistance of the different high schools. They have zoned the country and given each school a zone and the statistics collected for that zone, i.e. the number of households in that zone along with the number of members in each household. The students are required to use the statistics given to produce information on statistical averages; mode household size, median household size and mean household size.
The teacher explains that to prepare students for the task they will first recap these concepts and engage in some activities that will allow them to explore the concepts.
The teacher will place students into mixed ability groupings of five. Students will be provided with a written set of instructions that must be followed in order to complete the activity. They will also be given a stopwatch and will be using their tablets with the game "Angry Birds" or "Super Mario Brothers" (downloaded).

GOP attorney Ben Ginsberg prepared a draft letter listing proposed rules for future debates, in the wake of the CNBC fiasco, and sent it to the active Republican campaigns for approval.
As the contents of the Ginsberg memorandum have become known, it has attracted some derision for the large number of proposed rules, many of which have little to do with the problem of biased debate moderation exposed by CNBC's antics.
Defenders of the letter observe that this is a negotiation process, and it is therefore appropriate to open with a "high bid," knowing that some of the demands would be negotiated away. As Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) put it to Politico, "I think we offer content that attracts 20 million people. It's very valuable and the media gets rich off of us. I think it should be a negotiation like any other negotiation."
Also, it should be noted that the Ginsberg letter is a list of proposals, assembled after a meeting between representatives from most of the presidential campaigns. It may have been a public-relations error to circulate this first draft and draw media attention to a lengthy list of demands, before suggestions from the potential signatories for refining it have been considered – thus inviting criticism that the Republican candidates are overplaying their hand, rather than seizing a moment.
Most of the items in the memo are phrased as questions for the media organization sponsoring the debate to answer. Some of these are obvious and straightforward, such as "Where and when will the debate be held?," "What is the estimated audience for the debate?", "What format do you envision – podiums, table, other?" and so forth. Many of these questions are doubtless already covered by existing debate preparation procedures.
Some of the questions are more penetrating inquiries that might prompt follow-up questions or complaints from the campaigns, such as "What are the criteria for inclusion? If you choose to base this on polls, please detail which polls and why each poll's methodology and sample size is acceptable to you."
A couple of the questions are better understood as demands:
"Will there be questions from the audience or social media? How many? How will they be presented to the candidates? Will you acknowledge that you, as the sponsor, take responsibility for all questions asked, even if not asked by your personnel?"
"Will you commit to provide equal time / an equal number of questions of equal quality (substance as opposed to "gotcha" or frivolous) to each candidate?"
"Are you running promo ads before the debate about your moderator(s)?" (This seems pitched as a strong suggestion that networks need to be more up-front about the moderators' biases and political baggage.)
"Can you pledge that the temperature in the hall be kept below 67 degrees?" (Campaigns often worry about venues designed to make the candidates look bad by sweating, a concern that dates back to the famous Nixon-Kennedy debate of 1960, where radio listeners thought Nixon won, but the TV audience responded negatively to his appearance. In the current cycle, there were some complaints about the climate in the second GOP debate, televised on CNN.)
The list of explicit demands in the Ginsberg draft letter asks media organizations, "Will you commit that you will NOT" do any of the following:
Ask the candidates to raise their hands to answer a question
Ask yes/no questions without time to provide a substantive answer
Have a "lightning round"
Allow candidate-to-candidate questioning
Allow props or pledges by the candidates
Have reaction shots of members of the audience or moderators during debates
Show an empty podium after a break (describe how far away the bathrooms are)
Use behind shots of the candidates showing their notes
Leave microphones on during breaks
Allow members of the audience to wear political messages (shirts, buttons, signs, etc.) Who enforces?
Some of these points reference issues that have come up during the 2016 debates (for example, the proximity of bathrooms) while others seem intended to prevent objectionable behavior in the future.
Notably, some might find it strange to prohibit "candidate-to-candidate questioning" at a debate. Presumably this is meant to prevent candidates from ambushing each other with loaded questions conceived out of thin air, not an injunction against them talking to each other.
Several campaigns soon announced they would reject the proposals in the letter, including Donald Trump, whose campaign said it would continue negotiating directly with the networks to establish ground rules for each debate. The campaigns of Carly Fiorina, Chris Christie, and John Kasich also declared their would refuse to sign the letter.

Vikki: We have wheels - freedom. It's great to be in a car again and driving. Left hand driver's side and right hand road lanes are confusing, and the relaxing of driving isn't there yet though I'm sure it will come in time. The chanting of "loose left" and "tight right" as we go around corners and the million and one roundabouts we've come across so far (to make sure we stay on the correct side of the road) has become common place. Not sure what I was thinking getting a manual, auto would have been easier, but can't complain with a new car and the ability to go where ever we want. The drive down was picture perfect - fields of pink, yellow and purple flowers, wild poppies growing along the edges of the road - just what you'd expect for the french country side. The Loire Valley is stunning, a much quieter pace of life and a surprising number of English tourists. With all of the magnificent chateau's, it feels a bit like a fairy tale land. Having visited two of the local chateau's, the gardens are just beautiful - roses, peonies, lavender, and other scented perennials everywhere. With those and the amazing trees, its a gardeners paradise.
Raj: Driving in Europe for the first time (with extra challenges) was scary and Vikki did an outstanding job as first up driver. It was good to start as co-pilot with GPS at hand, but wanting to grab the wheel at times when the curb got close. Lots of extra advice was offered, some probably not that helpful! Today I was the driver and the advice came back to me! The car is a perfect size, high with good visibility, space and comfort as we start our self-guided Europe tour. What a contrast - we have left the hustle and bustle of Paris and an apartment for the country side in Saumur and a tent. No complaints though and fun to be trying different experiences, especially for the kids. The Saumur/Loire Valley area is picturesque with lush fields bordering the Loire River and limestone houses, and several huge Chateau's dating back some 800+ years dominating the landscape. Quite peaceful and relaxing. The campsite is well set up and during the evenings I managed to try local fresh-baked breads filled with different cheese centres, and a variety of local wines with names and blends I have not heard off, including a sparkling red which I rather enjoyed. Nice.
Anouk: I really enjoyed visiting the Chateau du Rivau. It was like a fairy tale castle and we got explore it and the surrounding gardens. We followed a pathway of stones, which led us to an enchanted forest. In the forest we saw 44 gnomes hidden amongst the trees. Next we found a lookout tower. From the lookout tower we could see a big maze which was in a spirally shape. Harley and I walked through the maze while mum and dad watched from the lookout tower. We saw an oak tree that was 300 years old and it had tree jewellery on it (like and earring). We saw lots of different flowers, one was a big purple spiky ball.
Harley: Over the past 2 days, we've been to 2 Chateau's (that's French for castle). The first, Chateau du Breze, had a dry (non-water) moat 25metres deep. We also saw how they made wine using the wine presses and big oak barrels. Today we visited Chateau du Rivau which had lots of gardens. My favourite thing was the gigantic gumboots which were made from fibre galss and stood about 4metres high. There were lots of roses and other flowers. Another cool thing was the wishing well. It was about 25m deep and if you looked down you could just see the bottom. We all made a wish in secret.
Facts: Chateau du Rivau was built about 800 years ago. It took 20 years to restore the castle because it hadn't been taken care of. In 2010 there was a fire which destroyed parts of the castle, it has since been fixed.
Yesterday on the Raj Factor: Visiting the Chateau de Breze, one of the cave areas was used for silkworms and the production of silk. After looking at the cocoons and Vikki explaining how silk was made, Raj asked Harley did he know what the phrase "you can't make a silk purse out of billy goats bol-locks" means. While I politely suggested this was not the most pc term and that a "sows ear" was correct, too late the raucous child laughter began and that was that. Hours later over dinner, as the diaries were written for the day, it was still being laughed about and I'm sure will be for a long time yet.
Today on the Raj Factor: We've both "mislaid" keys on the trip, however today after having a short siesta in the hammock of the gardens of Chateau du Rivau, Raj rejoined us on our tour of the garden. 15 minutes later I asked him where the bag was (which contained all our valuables including passports and money). Not many words were spoken as Raj immediately knew he had left it by the hammock! A quick sprint later retrieved the bag intact. Gees Raj!

As someone who had a five-year plan that literally imploded three months after graduation, I know what it's like to not know what the f*ck is going on in your life. Post-grad life is NO JOKE and the financial stress that comes with it isn't a joke either.
You know know that this past summer I change my entire life plan and decided not to pursue what I went to college for. You can read allllll about that here, in case you missed it 😉 In that time of constantly not know what was happening next, I learned the very valuable lesson of living on a budget. Before this time, I had never really needed to budget. Honestly, I was making money and spending it however I wanted without a second thought. Now don't get me wrong, I wasn't throwing my money away or spending it at every opportunity, but I definitely wasn't budgeting my life like I am now.
This last summer I was literally making $500 a month and nothing more. I was living off of my measly paychecks and life savings when I came to the realization that I needed a better system. I was sucking my savings dry and trying to find any extra source of income I could find. That's where this beautiful thing call Excel comes into play…I realized I needed to set a budget with myself and stick to it. When I came to this decision, I dedicated myself to it entirely and still to this day follow the same protocol.
I spent next to nothing that wasn't essential to my survival, and I tracked every. single. penny. I spent. I created a spreadsheet labeled Life Spending Tracker and looked at almost every other day. I set financial goals for myself and looked at how much money I would need to make in order to stay afloat. Luckily, I have Lucas in my life and he could help pick up some of the slack when I needed him to; but I was determined to be independent of him as much as possible.
SO! When setting up my excel sheet I sat down with myself and really thought about the things I spent my money on. Then, I tried to categorize everything into about 10 different sections. I built my excel sheet into three smaller sheets: Budget, Expenses, and Revenue. This way, I could set a budget for myself each month, track my spending, AND track my income all in the same spot. Doing this allowed me to compare everything with one quick look across all three sheets. My little excel sheet worked for me, but thanks to the cute blonde boy and his magical excel loving brain, he made me a new one that is all sorts of beautiful, and I am so excited to share it will all of you FOR FREE!
His excel sheet does the same thing that mine did but the biggest perk is that it is fully automated to compare all three sheets on a 'Summary' page. This 'Summary' page allows you to compare your budget to your income and spending, and see how much you are spending vs. how much you budgeted and how much you are making. It comes with 15 category spaces where you can insert your personally determined spending categories and allows you to input up to five sources of income! As long as you don't change any of the coding, it should work seamlessly! I have shared it here, and all I ask is that you add it to your Google Drive and download it to your computer or make a copy of it and work off of the copy. That way, the original file doesn't get corrupt.
Some quick tips on how I set mine up:
My 'spending' / 'budgeting' categories match. There shouldn't be anything on my budget sheet that doesn't also appear on my spending sheet and vice-versa. My categories look a little like this: rent, gas, groceries, pets, shopping, eating out, student loans, wedding, etc. Those are just some of the things I found myself spending my money on and I grouped them into larger, umbrella categories. I also have an 'Other' category for those random one off purchases!
I hope you guys love this budgeting sheet and find it helpful. I am so thankful for Lucas and his amazing Excel skills. Without him, I wouldn't be able to share such an amazing resource with all of you! And if you don't already budget and practice smart money moves, you should take small steps to do so. Those little steps have helped me to pay off of $5000 in student loans in under five months! Never hesitate to reach out if you have questions or experience hiccups with the sheet!
Shine on,

VIOLENCE: Dictionary of Now #6
How is violence inscribed in practices and languages of postcolonial societies? What does the illusion of a "post-racial" age reveal about the effect structures and camouflage tactics of racist hierarchies of violence? In Dictionary of Now #6, three leading thinkers of post-colonial theory, philosopher David Theo Goldberg, political scientist and philosopher Achille Mbembe and author Taiye Selasi, will discuss the term VIOLENCE. Against the backdrop of historic developments, continuities and rifts, they will analyze the increasing normalization of racial violence and the correlations between systemic violence and racist ideologies.
A short story developed for the evening by Taiye Selasi on mechanisms of "othering" and rebellion against this form of racist demarcation is the starting point of the discussion and basis of the contributions by Goldberg and Mbembe. Her novel Ghana Must Go (2013), a cosmopolitan family saga about young Afropolitans, made her world-famous. Using a narrative image series, at HKW (Haus der Kulturen der Welt) Selasi interconnects personal and societal experiences of violence. David Theo Goldberg examines persistent structural violence in post-colonial societies, exploring the deceptive paradox of a "post-racial" age. He is the Director of the Humanities Research Institute, and the Executive Director of the Digital Media and Learning Research Hub at the University of California and a member of HKW's Program Advisory Board. His analyses reveal the close interweaving of racism and systemic, hierarchic, social structures. The outbreak of violent conflicts within the nexus of capitalism and decolonization is the subject of the analysis of Achille Mbembe, who traces a genealogy of racial violence. He is one of the most influential pioneers of post-colonialism and teaches at the Institute for Social and Economic Research at the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg after professorships at Columbia University, the University of California, Yale University and others. He has spoken on previous occasions at HKW, such as the 2012 exhibition 'Chronicle of a Revolt'.
At the event, the legitimation patterns of violence will be discussed as well as the question of the existence of "legitimate" violence in the context of emancipation movements such as Négritude and Black Lives Matter. The concept of Afropolitanism co-conceived by Mbembe and taken up by Selasi will be considered against the backdrop of "violence" as a concept of racist structures and practices of post-colonial societies.
In the Dictionary of Now series (2015-2018) well-known representatives of the sciences and the arts, from theory and practice, question established meanings of words and update them based on their respective fields of expertise. For each term, various positions will have their say and then be discussed in depth in a conversation with Bernd Scherer, director of HKW. A publication will compile the key words and contributions of each edition and will be issued at the end of the 100 Years of Now project in 2018.
The Dictionary of Now is part of 100 Years of Now. Haus der Kulturen der Welt is funded by the German Federal Commissioner for Culture and the Media and the German Foreign Ministry.

Traveling with Your Wife!
part 1 of a vacation
What is it with women and suit cases? Recently my wife and I readied for a seven day cruise to the Mexican riviera. If you have never cruised before, imagine three thousand passengers forming a line for embarkation that must pass through customs, around corners, up gang planks, elevators and narrow hall ways, all with luggage in tow. Today's luggage is more accommodating than it use to be. They have wheels that make it easy to tow leaving you a hand free for tickets, passports and a carry on. My wife wouldn't have a hand free if she were an octopus. How do you move thirteen suit cases and twenty four carry ons through an embarkation maze with only two hands? It isn't as though we have never cruised before. We know the routine. This is an annual adventure. I believe women travel this way intentionally. How else can you command the attention of three thousand people for thirty minutes without taking your clothes off?
This fiasco doesn't just happen accidentally. It is carefully planned. The luggage is layed out upon the bed for three days. She doesn't just choose an outfit for each day and throw it in the suitcase. She considers an outfit for every weather event that has ever taken place on the face of the earth and extras, just in case someone else has anything that resembles what she might be wearing. She packs a contingency outfit for every possibility. She has an outfit for emergency evacuations, and one that can be spotted by aircraft should the ship get lost! She has an outfit that is shark repellent and another for being rescued. She has shoes for walking, running, dancing, eating, lounging and tai chi! If she wore all the accessories she packed at one time, she would look like the lighting of the national christmas tree. Watching her pack is like watching a squirrel ready for winter. The Red Cross doesn't pack this much in response to anything! Honestly, seven days isn't a long time when you consider ninety per cent of your time is spent in bed or in a lounge chair. I mean, how dressed up do you need to be for a lounge chair?
The cabins on a cruise ship are comfortable, but they are small. They afford average people ample space for personals and clothing. My wife is not average and by the time she unpacks it is painfully obvious that we will need to make concessions for sleeping. Sex is totally out of the question because the room will only accomodate one at a time.
I know that cosmetics and make up are important to women. I know that what she brings will allow me little room for my own things, but, the bathrooms on ship are large enough to do what one is suppose to do in a bathroom. Ours looked like the grand opening for "Loreal" and what your supposed to do in there is the only thing you couldn't do. When she was through unpacking, both closets and all the drawers were occupied. My clothing, which I concluded must be optional, was consigned to a suitcase for the remainder of the cruise. The benefit, I suppose, was that I had seven days to cruise and she of course, needed three to pack everything up for debarkation. Whatever time she had for cruising, after unpacking and packing, was spent on deck looking like the Queen of Sheba. The formal nights were a testament to her planning, as every eye was turned upon her royal entry, or, they may well have been upon the wrinkled vagrant that followed in her steps. Her majesty was impeccable, while I, unshaven, unkempt, disheveled, odorous and constipated after seven days without a bathroom, found solitude in my seven day outfit, with fifteen hundred other husbands who looked just like me.
I love to laugh, and this tale of your "over-packed" cruise made me laugh all the way through. By the time I reached the end, I could barely breathe! I was gasping for air and still going "ha-ha-ha-ha!" between the gasps....
Lol....I am thoroughly enjoying the laughs that I get from your hubs!!
Thanks...I needed every one of them :)
Hi Qudsia! To make you laugh, makes my day!
Lol @ Red Cross doesn't pack this much!
I just read your hub for the third time because it was so much fun!
Waiting anxiously for the rest of the travel!
Oh arb, I think I fractured a rib, I laughed so hard!
Wonderful so wonderful and true! You should see mum packing. Well forgive us women, we have such an obsession with trying our best to look different that sometimes we tend to ignore what is practical.
Though still you must admit that you managed to hold all that luggage and though you were constipated, your wife had a great time! :P
Great laughs...but I'm with her...And that's why you married her, you liked the package.Well it takes a little effort on our parts...We are taking a cruse in March to Cancun and Cozumel, and you can be sure I will be overpacked. My husband like you...Men! Will be back by me as well. Bon Voyage!
Thanks for the laughs! Read your 'I promise to be a good husband' contract to find the 'pack mule' clause. It should be on the first page.
