5 Awesome Ways To Rocket Your Productivity
Everyday we are accountable for several things. And productivity has a major role to play. If you are focused and have goals to be fulfilled, you need to measure your productivity every day. Here are some ways to rocket your productivity:
1. Do not immediately get into an action. Think before you begin. Remember sharpening the axe is more important than cutting the tree. Spend some time in planning your schedule and future goals. Check all the possibilities of accomplishing your goals. Also you need to make changes to achieve the best, You cannot be what you were earlier.
2. Health is definitely wealth. You cannot be productive with an ill-health. It is not only the body that gets affected when you are sick, but also the mind. Ensure that you take a healthy diet and eat food that would provide you with energy. Drink plenty of water to remain hydrated.
3. Inspire yourself. Do not wait for others to come and motivate you. You need to be mentally fit and be determined to achieve your goals. There are times when failure would pull you back and you would lose hope. The best way to come out of negativity is to inspire self.
4. Do a SWOT analysis of self. Find out what makes you happy and what makes you sad. What is the cause of your anger? Analyse your strengths and weaknesses. Try avoiding situation that would take you away from your goals.
5. Productivity is a daily habit and it should be monitored on everyday basis. A single day can make you closer to your goal. Follow the above mentioned tips and ensure that you boost your productivity and reach closer to your dreams. Avoid distractions in all the forms.

Know God. Experience community. Be Transformed. This is our hope for each woman who becomes involved in Women's Ministry at Parkway Bible Church. At the heart of all we do is our desire to know Him.
Our goal is to build an authentic community of women who know God intimately, who love Him and each other well, and who are being transformed into His likeness. We accomplish this by providing opportunities for women to study God's Word, to be strengthened through discipleship, to feel connected and cared for, to have fun together, and to serve others in Christ's Name.
If you want to join with us or learn more about Women's Ministry, contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com. We have lots of great events, including Bible studies and bi-annual retreats that you won't want to miss!
(Titus 2:3–5 NIV) Likewise, teach the older women to be reverent in the way they live, not to be slanderers or addicted to much wine, but to teach what is good. Then they can train the younger women to love their husbands and children, to be self-controlled and pure, to be busy at home, to be kind, and to be subject to their husbands, so that no one will malign the word of God.

Bringing up children isn't cheap, and becoming a parent often involves tricky decisions around work, childcare and household budgets.
Our quick-start guide gives you the basics on parenting financials, from the government's new childcare top-up to early-years pension saving.
1. The tax-free childcare scheme
By the end of 2017, all eligible parents should be able to join the new tax-free childcare scheme. The scheme effectively offers a government top-up of 20% on money that you pay into a special account to cover the cost of childcare.
Unlike the current employer-supported childcare scheme, it doesn't rely on your employer to offer it, and it's available to self-employed parents too. To qualify, you need to be earning at least £115 a week and less than £100,000 per year.
The government will add 20p for every 80p you (or someone else) adds to the childcare account, with the top-up maxing out at £2,000 per year, or £4,000 for a disabled child. You can get the support until the child is 12 years old.
2. Child Tax Credit and Child Benefit
Child Tax Credit is a means-tested benefit. The threshold depends on a number of factors, but if you have one child, then a household income of less than £26,100 usually means you're entitled to some Child Tax Credit. From April 2017, Child Tax Credit is limited to the first two children in a family.
Child Benefit, on the other hand, isn't just for low-income families. It's a payment anyone who is looking after a child under 16 (or under 20 if in education or training) can claim, although if you or your partner's individual income is above £50,000 you may have to pay a tax charge. If this is the case and you don't want to claim Child Benefit as a result, fill in the form anyway as this protects your National Insurance credits, which count towards your state pension.
3. Childcare grant if you're studying
If you're a full-time student in higher education and you have children under 15, you can apply for a childcare grant. This doesn't have to be paid back and it's paid in addition to your other student finance.
The amount you get depends on several factors including household income, but you could get up to 85% of your childcare costs, and for the academic year 2017-18 this is up to a maximum of £159.59 a week for one child and £273.60 a week for more than one child.
4. Free childcare for pre-schoolers
The government offers free childcare to parents with three to four year olds, and the number of hours you get is doubling this year for some parents.
Previously, working parents could get 15 hours of free childcare a week for 38 weeks, but now you can get an extra 15 hours a week as long as you earn at least £115 per week and less than £100,000 per year.
5. Tax on children's savings
If you open a savings account for your child, there generally won't be any tax to pay on the interest. In the past you had to complete a form to make sure your child didn't pay unnecessary tax, but now savings income is paid without tax deducted. However, if you or the child's other parent (or step-parent) pays in money to the child's account that accrues more than £100 interest in a year, the income will be taxed as if it were your own. This could be a good reason to consider a Junior ISA, a children's saving account with a tax-free threshold of £4,080.
6. Life insurance
Life insurance becomes much more important when you're a parent, because you have dependents who may be in serious financial trouble if you die. Your insurer can pay a lump sum to the surviving parent, which could go a long way towards covering costs like mortgage payments, childcare and bills, whether your family's lost the main carer or the main breadwinner. Some insurance policies will also cover you in the case of a serious illness that means you can't work.

I'm completely inspired and obsessed with the natural world. So, it only fits that my items are beginning to resemble what you can find there. Most recently I've added something new for MissNissCraftworks. I've developed a line of bath/body care that are reminiscent of spring and summer. Washcloths, scrubbies, and makeup removers are the bulk of it. In all honesty, you could use them in the kitchen, but I think they're too pretty to scrub pans!
The photo I was inspired by is the bottom right. I thought forget-me-nots were gorgeous flowers, but the vibrancy of this photo really stuck out to me. So, I did my best to replicate these delicate little things into washcloth for something just as delicate, your face!
Since I listed those, I have added a hand strap on the back. It makes it easier to hold these flower scrubbies when washing. Plus it looks really nice.
That's it for now. Until next time!

Planning for Your Next Technology Project
by Elaina
A technology project can be a large source of stress for nonprofit organizations. Not only is this likely going to be an expensive addition to your budget, but, as many nonprofit leaders don't have a technology background, it can be hard to have faith that you're going to end up with a tool that meets your needs well.
A great way to reduce that stress is to do some planning for your project on your own before starting to get bids. This kind of planning doesn't necessarily require tech skills, but just an understanding of where you are and where you'd like to be.
Taking on some planning on your own will not eliminate the need for any planning to be included in your technology project, but it will help you better ask for the features that you need, make better choices about your options, and stick to your budget.
Here are some key planning steps that will help with any technology project:
1. Corral your key stakeholders for your planning.
To ensure the success of your project, you want to make to gather input from everyone who will be regular users of this tool. For instance with a donor database project, make sure to include your development director, the development assistant, and anyone else that will be spending a significant amount of time in the system. If you leave out the data entry staff, you will likely miss key needs to help them use their time more efficiently, and if you leave out high level staff, you will miss features relevant to the overall strategy.
2. Decide on your project goal and definition of success.
What will your organization look like if this project is successful? Will you use your time more efficiently? Will your system be more stable? Will have deeper relationships with your constituents? It is all right to come up with a few goals, but it's a good idea to rank them. Your list of goals will help you prioritize the features requested from your staff, and it will help you at the end of the project to determine if it was successful.
3. Identify pain points and positive features of your current tool.
Outline the problems with your current tool to make sure that you address them in the new system, and list the positive features to make sure that you don't lose them in this process.
4. Brainstorm and prioritize the features you are hoping to gain.
Plan to spend a good amount of time on this stage, as you want to be sure not to miss anything. Make sure that staff know to suggest any minute feature and to not to hesitate suggesting something that has already been said.
When you have a good list of features, then start prioritizing them. If you're able to rank each feature individually that's great, but you can also place them into categories like: "Absolutely necessary, required for success", "Important feature, but can be put off", "Would be great, but only if it's free". It's often possible to have multiple phases to a technology project to mitigate budget strain, hence the "can be put off" category.
5. Decide on your timeline and identify events pushing that timeline.
Do you need the new donor database to be up before your annual event next March? Do you need it done in time to run your year-end appeal? Decide with your team how strictly you need to stick by your timeline as well – are these hard-and-fast deadlines, or is it more "it'd be nice to get it done by then".
Generally speaking, the further out your timeline is, the more flexibility you will have in terms of tools, consultants, and budget. Project length varies depending on the number and complexity of features to be built or added, but it's not unreasonable for a custom database or website project to take six months or more. If you want a big project to get done faster, expect to sacrifice features, pay significantly more, or both.
6. Decide on a budget for the project.
I put money last for a reason. While money is always a top concern for nonprofits, it's important to consider your needs first. This step may also require a bit of research. Speak wth nonprofits similar to yours to find out what they use for this technology need and how much they spent on their solution. You may decide to call around to consultants to find out a range of costs for that kind of tool – keep in mind, that without learning a fair bit about your needs, you will likely only be able to get broad ranges from them.
Write up notes from your planning process and keep them handy when you have your initial calls and meetings with prospective vendors and consultants. Even if you work with volunteers, your notes will prove invaluable when scoping your volunteer project.
I hope that these tips help your nonprofit achieve success on your next technology project. Be sure to subscribe to my blog via RSS or email, as next week I will be following this up by discussing Total Cost of Ownership in terms of nonprofit technology projects.
Has your nonprofit used a similar planning process before? How did it work for you? What else would you add to this list?

Rain/weather Policies & Rain Waiver Information In relation to inflatable units for private parties - see below for tents & corporate
Rain, Rain, - go away— What do I do if it rains?
On a date when we determine that there is a high probability of foul weather, rain or high winds we reserve the right to cancel. It is for safety of riders and serviceability of our units not because we want to ruin anyone's party. If it is clear when we set up and it rains later there isn't anything that can prevent that but we may begin to pick up units if the rain is not going to pass. Keep in mind if the weather forecast is very grim there is a chance that cancellations will occur in the morning.
The final decision on what constitutes a rain date lies with us. On any day we will always try to service as many bounces as possible even if it means rearranging a bit of the deliveries or the times of peoples events. We don't want to ruin anyone's party but we also want to keep our equipment from potential damage (not to mention the kids)
Many people ask about light rain or state that they don't care if it's raining they want their unit anyway. However we will not set up in rain or high winds of any kind. As a general rule skies must be clear for one hour prior to a set up on what may be a rain day. While you may not mind the rain it is dangerous to ride in a rainy situation. If a light rain occurs after set up it will most likely be deflected by the unit's roof and the unit will usually dry itself in short order. In this situation be mindful of the inside and wipe it with a towel if it is slick. If a heavy rain occurs we will begin to pick up units accordingly and it isn't safe to continue to ride especially if high winds are in play.
The Bullet Points
· Units CAN NOT operate in heavy rain or high winds It is dangerous.
· If it is raining when we arrive at a location we will not set up even if our crew is early and we can not
guarantee they can wait for the weather to pass. Wait time is billed @ $15.00 per hour per person.
· You must call by 8:00 am to cancel your reservation. We will attempt delivery unless told otherwise
if we think it is deliverable weather.
· If you do not call us and we think you are deliverable we will arrive as scheduled.
· If weather conditions are not permitting when we arrive then you will lose your deposit with or
without a rain waiver. We reserve the right to deliver or not deliver at our discretion based on the
weather conditions and wind.
· Reservations cancelled for rain are ONLY accepted if it is raining or extreemly high winds.
· If it is a potentially rainy day (and we tell you it is) and you want your reservation you will be responsible for cleaning fees if it
does rain. See rainy day sign off sheet

Lucas picked as Big Ten preseason Player of the Year
Lucas picked as Big Ten preseason Player of the Year
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. -- Penn State Lady Lion senior guard Maggie Lucas (Narberth, Pa.) was selected as the Big Ten Preseason Player of the Year by both the league's coaches and media. Additionally, the Lady Lions were picked to finish second in the conference by both groups. This is the second-straight season that Lucas has been named to the preseason All-Big Ten first team.
Lucas, who was a unanimous preseason first team All-Big Ten selection by both the coaches and media, is the reigning Big Ten Player of the Year after averaging 20.1 points, 4.5 rebounds and 2.3 steals per game. Lucas earned a spot on several All-America teams as a junior, including claiming second team Associated Press and first team USBWA honors. She was also a finalist for the Wade Trophy for the WBCA's National Player of the Year.
The Narberth, Pa. native is on the Wade Watch and Wooden Award preseason watch lists entering her senior season. She currently ranks second in program history and third in Big Ten history in three-point field goals made with 292 triples. Lucas is also seventh in Penn State history with 1,838 points and is tops in program history in free throw percentage (.900) and three-point field goal percentage (.462) among players with 65 or more attempts.
The Lady Lions, who are 15th in the preseason USA Today Sports Coaches' Poll, won their second-straight Big Ten regular season title with a 26-6 overall record and 14-2 mark in conference play last season. In addition to Lucas, Penn State returns Big Ten All-Defensive team choice Dara Taylor (Wilmington, Del.), as well as seniors Ariel Edwards (Elmont, N.Y.) and Talia East (Philadelphia, Pa.).
As a junior, Taylor finished second on the team and fifth in the Big Ten in steals with a 2.4 per game average. She was also in the Top 10 in the league in assists (10th - 3.4) and assist-to-turnover ratio (9th - 1.2). Edwards accounted for 7.9 points and 3.2 rebounds a year ago, while East contributed 2.2 points and 3.1 rebounds.
The Lady Lions saw their first action of the 2013-14 season with a 102-51 win over Division II Lock Haven in an exhibition game on Oct. 27. Edwards paced Penn State with 21 points, going 7-for-10 from the field and a perfect 7-for-7 from the charity stripe. She also added five rebounds, two assists and two steals for a complete all-around performance. Freshman Peyton Whitted (Suwanee, Ga.) also reached double figures with 11 points, while classmate Kaliyah Mitchell (Stone Mountain, Ga.) nearly tallied a double-double with nine points and 10 boards in 15 minutes of action.
Penn State opens its season against St. Francis (Pa.) on Fri., Nov. 8 at 7 p.m. The Lady Lions will raise their 2013 Big Ten Championship banner and give away commemorative championship ring banks to celebrate back-to-back Big Ten titles. The Lady Lions also face Fordham on Sun., Nov. 10 at 2 p.m. to close out opening weekend.
Lady Lion Basketball single-game and season tickets are available by calling 1-800-NITTANY. Single-game tickets are $15 and $12 for adults and seniors and $9 and $7 for youth (12 and younger). Season tickets are $99 for adults and $50 for youth (12 and under), this includes a Nittany Lion Kids Club Membership for 2013-14. New this year, the Lady Lions have introduced a Family Season Ticket package. For $200, fans will get two adult tickets and two youth tickets for the 2013-14 campaign. The PNC Flex Books are available again this year for $99. The Flex Book gives fans 12 vouchers, 10 that can be redeemed in any combination for Nittany Lion and Lady Lion Basketball tickets throughout the year and two extra vouchers for the Nittany Lions' Coaches Vs. Cancer game and the Lady Lions' Pink Zone game.
The 2014 Pink Zone at Penn State will take place on Sunday, Feb. 16 as the Lady Lions take on Wisconsin in the Bryce Jordan Center at 1 p.m. Last year, the Lady Lions donated a record $260,000 to breast cancer causes. This year's fundraising efforts will benefit the Mount Nittany Medical Center, Penn State Hershey Cancer Institute, Pennsylvania Breast Cancer Coalition, the Kay Yow Cancer Fund, J.C. Blair Memorial Hospital and Lewistown Hospital. For more information on the Pink Zone at Penn State, visit the official Pink Zone website at www.pennsylvaniapinkzone.org.

Spain has always been on my travel shortlist but, if I'm being honest, I wasn't sure about Barcelona. Perhaps it was because of their differing heritage and culture from the rest of Spain or their desire to break away. Whatever the reason, I was wrong! Barcelona is truly remarkable and one week was not enough!
I like to cram as many explorations as possible into a trip, often planning day trip excursions to neighboring towns as well, but on this week-long trip, I happily remained in Barcelona, soaking up everything the city has to offer. Prior to arrival, I often prep a list of potential activities in order to avoid wasting time wondering what there is to do. Of course, I will also leave room for local suggestions and try not to plan things back to back to allow time for spontaneity but I always have at least an idea of what I will do. I never accomplish all of it and, for this post, I'm sharing my planning and actual lists for your recommendation pleasure.

Good morning!
Yesterday was a pretty fun day…
First it started with regular cooked oats (in the microwave…eh)
Added to it were thawed berries, some almond butter, chia seeds, and unsweetened shredded coconut. Yum!
I went on a 6 mile walk/run while listening to a sermon that I really wanted to hear. I shouldn't have waited late though, because it was so hot!
And the cutest little dog followed me all the way home from the other side of the neighborhood…he wouldn't go away. So I felt bad, hoping his owners aren't yelling his name. But he finally left.
After I got back, I got ready as soon as I could and my mom and I went to Costco, where I sampled the best smoked salmon and cream cheese "sandwich" (it was just on a a tiny slice of whole wheat bread for samples) I should have taken a picture. It was so good!
We stopped at Starbucks after seeing that people could get a Pumpkin Spice Latte early…I told the lady and gave her the code but she said I couldn't get one til next week! I was so mad! Everyone on instagram had pictures of them! Can someone please tell me why I couldn't get one? I think I was tricked and I was supposed to be able to get one.
I settled for a Vanilla Iced Coffee…
We stopped at Publix and got a few Buy One Get One deals which one of these things were Sweet Potato Fries!!! Omg.
I have this awesome twist on a taco recipe for tonight and I can't wait to share it for FOOD FRIDAY! Sweet potato fries will be on the side. So excited
Fresh made salads!
There were two really ripe avocados in my fridge, so I had to make guacamole, obviously.
At Costco, we picked up fresh prepared seafood stuffed mushrooms and some raw asparagus to sauté. So good!! Suggest you try the stuffed mushrooms if you shop at Costco!
Okay, I gotta finish my coffee, then its time for fasted cardio!
Have a great day
XX Audrey
- Did you get a Pumpkin Spice Latte?
- What's your favorite vegetable?
- Sweet potato fries or regular fries?

The credit union movement lost one of its heroes with the passing of Richard M. "Doc" Heins, the former CUNA Mutual Group CEO described as an "icon for the credit union movement and for the CUNA/league system" by CUNA President/CEO Bill Cheney.
"In a very real way, he charted the course for the partnership between CUNA and CUNA Mutual that serves all credit unions so well to this day," Cheney says. "All of us will miss his visionary leadership and his consistent focus on supporting every aspect of our system."
|Richard "Doc" Heins
Heins died Friday, May 3, at age 85. He's survived by his wife, Ruth, their four daughters, and 10 grandchildren.
"Doc was ceaseless in his devotion to credit unions and cooperatives worldwide," says Susan Newton, executive director of the American Association of Credit Union Leagues. "His legacy is stronger credit unions in America and a surging cooperative movement around the globe."
The 2010 recipient of the Herb Wegner Memorial Award for Lifetime Achievement, Heins was the driving force behind many credit union innovations, Newton says, including:
Heins personally donated $40,000 to the Polish credit union community and worked directly with President Lech Walesa and the new Solidarity-led coalition government to establish a sound framework for Polish credit unions to thrive again.
"Doc was one of those rare individuals that possessed incredible creativity combined with a passion to collaborate," says CUNA Mutual President/CEO Jeff Post. "The leadership and vision he provided is still being felt today. It was an honor to know him and learn from him."
"Doc Heins always had an open mind and sought input to what else the organization could be doing," adds Dick Ensweiler, CEO of the Texas Credit Union League. "Early in his full-time capacity he created the League Research and Advisory Committee. He used this group of a dozen league presidents to bounce strategies and programs off of and solicit their ideas. Those sessions were some of his favorite brainstorming adventures."
During his nearly 40 years of association with CUNA Mutual—and more than 50 years within the cooperative movement overall—Heins' influence was tremendous, Cheney says. "When he was awarded the Herb Wegner Memorial Award, it was noted that throughout his career 'he pushed us all to see beyond what is there and explore new possibilities.' No more appropriate words have ever been said for such a vital man in the credit union movement."

Greenpeace EU food policy director Franziska Achterberg said: "EFSA's safety assurances on glyphosate raise serious questions about its scientific independence. Much of its report is taken directly from unpublished studies commissioned by glyphosate producers. The evidence of harm is irrefutable but EFSA has defied the world's most authoritative cancer agency in order to please corporations like Monsanto."
EFSA evaluated six animal experiments that the WHO did not include in its review because the data has not been published or peer reviewed. Several of these industry studies support the IARC classification by showing increased cancer rates in animals, but EFSA claims these cannot be attributed to glyphosate.
In the coming months, the European Commission will recommend whether glyphosate should still be used in the EU after its current approval runs out on 30 June 2016. An EU technical committee is expected to examine the Commission's recommendation in early 2016.
In March, the WHO's agency for research on cancer (IARC) classified glyphosate as a probable human carcinogen [1].
Under EU law, a "presumed" link to cancer means a pesticide cannot be used, unless human exposure can be shown to be "negligible" [2]. Glyphosate is so widely used that human exposure is unavoidable. It is commonly found in the air, in water, in city parks, on farmland and in food, such as bread.
Health risks associated with the use of glyphosate, including the link to cancer, will also be investigated by the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA). However, ECHA is not expected to release its report until 2017.
Achterberg added: "The dispute between scientists is not over, and what's more, the EU's chemicals agency could take a different view from EFSA. It makes no sense to give glyphosate another ten-year licence until that process is over. After its failure to protect the health of Europeans from car emissions, the Commission should not make the same mistake on pesticides."
Environmental and health organisations have called for a ban of all uses of glyphosate where people and workers are most exposed [3]. They have urged the Commission to take full account of the WHO's warning, and to base its decision on the advice of both EU agencies.

Format: eGalley
Release Date: November 3, 2015
Publisher: Sourcebooks Casablanca
Source: Publisher via NetGalley
Genre: Romantic Suspense
When a high-profile investigation goes wrong, FBI Agent Kyle Dawson is transferred back home where he is forced to confront his demons…and the only woman he ever loved. Three years ago, Kyle and Abby Morrow shared a wild, passionate summer—then Abby broke his heart.
Kyle never stopped loving Abby. So when Abby uncovers evidence of a human-trafficking ring, leading to her sister's kidnapping, he swears he'll stop at nothing to bring her sister home and keep Abby safe. Caught in a lethal game of cat and mouse and blindsided by their own explosive desires, they must set aside the past before it's too late.
|4.5 Cauldrons
- A quick paced, easy read, romantic suspense. Human trafficking anyone? Yeah, this topic never fails to piss me off. And you'd never expect who the bad guys are AND what the assassin did towards the end. *two thumbs up*
- Not another insta-romance. It's a second chance in love and both Kyle Dawson and Abby Morrow are still madly in love with each other after all the years that they've been apart. And I'd like to underline this tidbit that neither of them slept around in the interim. It might be a minor detail, but I appreciate the fact that they didn't try to fuck each other's memory off their minds and hearts. #loyal
- Starred by men and women in public service. Abby and Kyle are classmates in the academy, both are pretty tough MC's, and I love how Abby still stood her own without being all Alpha and/or bitchy. She's just the right amount of strong and vulnerable that made her a very likable heroine. As for Kyle, I loved his snarky sense of humor and cammaraderie with his brothers and co-workers. There's no question that Kyle's a tough guy, but he didn't go all Alpha (aka asshole) on Abby.
- Features the Dawson boys, a family of servicemen and they're simply endearing. There's some issues within their clan, KSeRine didn't play out the drama though, but there were enough encounters to get the gist. It's kinda heavy.
- More romantic suspense and not so much action. The mystery didn't require much guesswork though, while the twists and turns in the story made things very interesting. Speaking of action, the smexy was hot and heartfelt.
Congrats, Kate!
Thanks so much for hosting me today, Braine! I always enjoy stopping by for a chat. :) And I'm so excited to be launching my new Protect & Serve series with STOP AT NOTHING.
- The interwebs! I often need to look up facts on the fly. Google is my BFF.
- MUSIC!!! I must have music playing at all times when writing. Seriously. It's not pretty if my tunes are absent. Each book has its own "soundtrack" that I listen to when writing that helps me set the stage.
- Coffee. I can't stress this one enough. The stronger the coffee, the better. I currently have eight varieties of coffee in my kitchen. There's even instant dark roast in case of a coffee emergency. (Yes, I'm an author cliché…)
- My notes. I am one of those old-school types who jots down copious notes in a notebook. My current favorite is a leather-bound notebook with a depiction of the Celtic tree of life embossed on the cover. It was a present from my husband and sons.
- And, on really rough days when the words just won't come, wine. Preferably a nice red blend that's not too dry. I'm currently loving a wine called "Once Upon a Vine", particularly the Big Bad Red Blend. Seems rather appropriate, no? ;)

In Sunday's Washington Post review of WHEN LIONS ROAR: The Churchills and the Kennedys by Thomas Maier (Crown), historian Douglas Brinkley writes:
"Churchill obtained a lucrative portion of stock in two U.S. companies associated with Kennedy in what reeks as influence-buying. This coincided with Kennedy's getting a post-Prohibition franchise to ship scotch and other liquor to the United States. Both Churchill and Kennedy come off as slippery businessmen, playing just within the legal margins."

It's almost been two weeks since it was revealed which states would get the stimulus funds for high speed rail service. Now that I've had a chance to reflect on President Obama's allocation of the $8 billion of HSR money, the funding is a good start that must be continued on an at least yearly basis. Based on the allocation of funds, it looks like every funded incremental HSR route like the 3-C route will be operated by Amtrak.
For those people who thought that I was being too harsh on the Sunshine State, it was for good reason. Florida deserved stimulus money for restored East Coast service via Daytona Beach and the central Florida SunRail commuter project--but not high speed rail! Everyone in the rail community--ranging from the keep everything public camp to those who want passenger rail to be run like a business--has pointed out the HSR route's flaws.
There is little to no connectivity along the Tampa-Orlando leg. I've already pointed out the flaws between Tampa and Lakeland. When it comes to the Orlando situation, I don't know if anyone wants to do a lot of transferring. As for locals, the airport might as well be in another city when it comes to its proximity from the Amtrak station and also downtown Orlando.
The state doesn't have good conventional service. Two routes in the entire state (because at this point, we can easily dismiss any idea of Amtrak wanting to resume Sunset Limited service east of New Orleans)? How can anyone justify the nonsensical routing to and from Tampa? This brings me to rail advocates in the state. How on Earth did most of these advocates just sit on their hands and watch their once-proud train service dwindle to just two measly routes? Did most of these people just put their eggs in the HSR basket back in 2004 while ex-Amtrak president David Gunn was busy eliminating S-Line service? Why did so few people in Florida push for better Amtrak service in their state? Complementing frequent service would have alleviated any overcrowding on the Silver Service trains.
There's a right way to advance frequent rail service, and there's a wrong way. Ideally, the long distance network would be used to produce more frequencies between two major cities. The practice would continue until the route becomes saturated. At that time, regional service would be implemented with more stops being added along the line for the regional routes. Once the regionals become saturated, then high speed rail would be implemented.
There has been a lot of bandwagon jumping by states that have little to no Amtrak service. Seriously, how can the Gulf Coast even be considered as a corridor when the Houston-New Orleans doesn't even have daily service? These states should have focused on more long-distance routes and starting up regional routes.
As a matter of fact, I would have cut off how many corridors were designated if I were in charge of the FRA. If a corridor walked away empty handed from the stimulus funds, it would have lost its designation. Based on this news, the Gulf Coast, South Central, and the Texas T-Bone routes would have gone back to the drawing boards.

The Rahmatan Lil Alamin Foundation (RLAF) in collaboration with all 70 mosques in Singapore organised a special fund raising effort to offer winter relief for Syrian refugees starting Friday, 3rd February to Thursday, 9th February 2017. In this effort to show that Singaporeans care about the plight of the Syrian refugees, the RLAF is working with the United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR) that is currently on the ground in Jordan and Lebanon to assist with the delivery of the Winter Assistance Plan as well as education programmes for Syrian children there.
The Syrian internal conflict and war which has gone on for nearly six years has inflicted a heavy toll on its population. More than four million Syrians have fled the country and sought refuge in foreign lands such as Turkey, Jordan, Lebanon, Iraq and Egypt. Currently more are heading for Europe. According to the UNHCR, more than half of them are children. Jordan alone is hosting 650,000. The high concentration of refugees in the country has placed a tremendous strain on the resources of the nations which are also struggling to meet the demands of its own population. Our hearts are with the refugees and the nations that has so kindly accepted to host them.
In 2014, the RLAF and mosques in Singapore had raised more than $400,000 through two collections for the Syrian refugees. The funds collected were used to hand out cooked food, household rations to over 4000 Syrian families, school packs for young children in three schools for Syrian refugees in Turkey, as well as medical kits for clinics treating injured and disabled refugees.
More significantly, RLAF in collaboration with the ASRIT (Aid for Syrian Refugees in Turkey) Project helped establish the Temasek Education Centre in Kilis, Southern Turkey which enrols 500 Syrian students annually from kindergarten to post-secondary levels. The school is still operational today.

911 Texting Not Active Yet in Maine
Today, a number of mobile cell phone carriers turned on the ability to "text 911," an ongoing initiative to bring text notification to emergency services. This feature, however, is not currently active in Maine.
911 Call Centers across Maine have upgraded to the NextGen 911 system and do have this capability, but this feature is still being tested prior to being officially implemented.
Aroostook EMA would like to advise all citizens to continue making phone calls of emergencies to 911. Again, 911 texting is not available in Maine at this time.

Finding your style for men can often be tricky.
As a matter of fact we often hear our male clients say that they absolutely hate shopping.
Actually they often tell us they have no idea what looks great.
Style Angel can help you with style for men experiences below we have creates with passion and dedication, most of all, so you look great.
"Men often tell me they rather do something else than spend time shopping", says style for men stylist, Angela Barbagallo.
"But they also know they need to look great at work and when they go out."
If you are not sure what to look for and where to look for outfits you need the help of a personal stylist with a focus on style for men.
You might be struggling with what to wear on a date. Perhaps you need help where to buy great suit or a smart casual Friday outfit.
Most of all, you may not like shopping at all so you just want to get it done fast!
Style Angel is the right person for the job.
"Clients often say to me that they have never shopped so efficiently," says experienced Personal Stylist, Angela Barbagallo.
"I find that the key is to understand what the male client is looking for so we can hit the ground running."
If you don't know how to work with what is in your wardrobe then a wardrobe styling for men is for you.
No doubt, your wardrobe can do with a regular clean out. You get so much stuff over time that you need to get on top of things.
And the wardrobe styling for men will get your wardrobe back to where it should be.
Firstly organised and above all a wardrobe that works for you.
"I got rid of all the clothes that I didn't use but was reluctant to throw out, we certainly put a dent in the wardrobe," said Real Estate Agent, Allan
"Absolutely brilliant! A wardrobe styling is a great concept for people like me needing help updating their wardrobe. I don't think I could have done this on my own", said Ralph from Bellevue Hill.
Giving an experience they will remember is a gift that will go down in history.
Style Angel is very experienced in the styling of men and the comments by Allan from Pleasure Point say it all:
"When I first got the voucher I said, "what..? I could have got a couple of hot laps in a commodore for that price". And I must say I was skeptical."
"But after the initial wardrobe consultation, I was sold. I got rid of all the clothes that I didn't use but was reluctant to throw out, we certainly put a dent in the wardrobe."
"The shopping trip was unbelievable to say the least, I have never shopped like that.
Shuffling through the entire mens department in Myer and selection over 60 items with someone who knows what looks good on me was a blessing. Go Style Angel".
Thanks Allan, it was a pleasure looking after you!
"Had a fantastic time and learnt so much! A fantastic way to understand and make you feel confident in the way to dress. It's a great way to learn new skills and learn how shop differently than you normally would. Learnt so much, if anything it's fun and Angela is lovely making you feel comfortable."
"My session with fashion stylist Angela was excellent. She knew exactly what was required to make the session as quick and worthwhile as possible. I actually saved a lot of money using her service which was mostly due to her savvy business sense. Highly recommend Angela and would ask for her service next time I need clothes."
Andrew from Ashfield received a 3 hour Personal Shopping Experience for Men from his Wife Elaine which took place at David Jones in Sydney CBD
"We were impressed by your efficiency, professionalism and directed approach. It allowed for a critical review of Andrew's existing wardrobe and an opportunity to learn about available styles and brands which would suit and compliment his looks.
An important part of the process was learning to have the confidence to attempt different looks and styles as well as understand what properly fitting clothes should be.
Since the session Andrew has worn with pleasure both the informal and informal clothing items and in addition we took our new-found knowledge to the sales with good results. We would have no hesitation in recommending Style Angel to our colleagues as a positive experience!"
Stephen from Lane Cove booked a Wardrobe Organisation and a STYLE SESSION
"Angela, thanks for your great style consulting and personal shopping assistance. Before working with you, I found I was concerned with how I looked and I did not have much sense of what clothes worked together, so I stayed with basics I knew, which were frankly a bit boring.
Now, I feel much prouder and more confident of how I look and I get compliments on my dress and appearance I never used to get before. Yesterday, I met a woman I have not seen for several months and the first thing she said was "Wow, you look fantastic!".
I have clothes that really fit me well and can be business elegant or casual, funky and fun. I feel in style and younger looking, which is a great thing.
With your guidance, I have a whole new appreciation for dressing in style and I am much more conscious of what outfits work well for business, casual or fun outings.
Finally, I really appreciated how easy it was to work with you and your professionalism at all times. I especially appreciate the great deals we got when we went shopping at Herringbone! I have recommended you to several of my friends who have been really impressed with my makeover."

Capital Sisters International is a nonprofit organization that raises funds for microfinance institutions that make tiny business loans ($100 to $300) to impoverished women in developing countries.

Our staff works largely in a virtual office environment.
General Description
The Executive Assistant is central to the smooth functioning of the organization and a highly valued position.

The position would be 30-40 hours per week, likely to be one day in the office and the remainder on a flexible/remote basis. The candidate is expected to have a fully equipped home office (laptop, printer, scanner, etc.). Significant administrative experience is a requirement; nonprofit experience is not necessary.

- Capable of creating visually appealing reports and basic marketing pieces.
- Compensation will be $17-$20/hour depending on experience, with the possibility of benefits.
Job Responsibilities
The following list is illustrative of the activities which the Executive Assistant will undertake. Because Capital Sisters is a small organization, many of these activities will be periodic rather than day to day.
- Arrange a weekly Team meeting, take minutes, and prepare action lists;
- Manage the CEO's calendar and anticipate her needs, primarily in preparation for meetings with donors, investors and industry contacts;
- Maintain Salesforce Database of contacts, donors and investors, produce reports and respond to queries;

- Manage Electronic Communications such as invitations and newsletters using MailChimp;
- Manage copying and assembly of Fundraising Packets for potential donors;
- Prepare materials and track donations for Year End Fundraising Campaign;

- Assist with Travel arrangements and trip itineraries, files and expense reports;
- Draft basic Correspondence and reports for wide ranging audiences;
- Run occasional Errands such as post office, bank, printers, office supplies;
- Assist with Events including invitations, RSVPs, logistics and catering;
- Arrange and support Board Meetings (logistics, materials, minutes); and
- Conduct ad hoc Office Management projects under the direction of the CFO and CEO.

The Beat Hamster
*** ill o.g. ***
Battle Points: 1
Jay Fehrman recently won the Beat This! Competition. The beat was heavy on the horns even though there was no theme - but there was just something about that beat that gave him the win.
I recently got a chance to ask him a few questions in our ongoing Studio Talk series.
What is your studio setup like?
Currently I just have a laptop with FL Studio 12 producer edition, an iPad with FL Studio mobile, Akai MPD 232, and Bose QC35 headphones.
What is the one software or hardware that you can't live without?
I legit can't live without my iPad, but only because I do so much sampling. I'm able to chop on my iPad at all times; no matter where I'm at.
What is a typical day for you when it comes to music?
When I get home from my 9-5 job, and "life" doesn't get in the way I typically put in 4-6 hours working on tracks and collaborating with MCs on SoundCloud pretty much everyday.
What is the best advice that you've ever received?
Don't try to sound like everyone else.
Do you have any tips for other producers?
Music is subjective. Try to have thick skin when people criticize, but make music that you think sounds dope. Be true to yourself.
How long does it take to make a full beat?
It depends on the project, but I usually spend at least few hours on each beat.
Do you have any studio tricks that help you work better and faster?
I like to be well organized when making a beat. For some reason it gives me clarity and has me more chill. I'll literally clean my house; then crack a beer before finally sitting down to craft a beat.
What's in your near future?
Many more collaborations in my future... stay tuned.

In response to feedback from visitors and patients, visiting times across adult inpatient wards at Leighton Hospital are to be extended from Monday, July 28, 2014.
Family and friends will be able to visit patients on adult inpatient wards anytime from 3pm until 8pm every day (with the exception of Ward 9). Previously, visiting times on most wards were restricted to separate afternoon and evening sessions.
Visiting times for maternity and paediatric wards, as well as Critical Care, the Acute Medical Unit (AMU) and Elmhurst Intermediate Care Centre in Winsford, will remain the same as they are currently, and further information is available online at www.mcht.nhs.uk/wards.
Julie Smith, Director of Nursing and Quality at Mid Cheshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, said: "Patients benefit greatly from having their loved ones visit them during their hospital recovery, so we are very pleased that we are able to extend our visiting times. We also know that visitors appreciate this added flexibility as it makes visiting much easier to fit in with their other commitments."
Guidance for visitors to ward areas remains the same:
please keep the number of visitors to two at any one time to avoid disturbing other patients;
for infection control reasons, please refrain from sitting on the bed;
please do not visit if you have a current or recent illness (ward staff will be able to provide you with guidance on this if necessary);

Your blogstress would like to think, that with the recently expressed consternation of the chairman of the Senate intelligence committee, the Bush administration had hit bottom in its secrecy addiction and was soon to be on the road to recovery. But, alas, your Webwench knows that there are no depths to which these usurpers will not plunge, and that the consternation of Republicans regarding the administration's unconstitutional behavior usually amounts to nothing more than bluster.
In today's New York Times, Mark Mazetti reports on the noise made by committee chairman Pat Roberts (R-Kan.) over the Bush administration's classification of information contained in a portion of a committee report on its use of prewar intelligence. The portion in question focuses on Cheney pal Ahmad Chalabi and the role the latter's Iraqi exile group played in passing bad info to the U.S. Government. From the New York Times:
Congressional officials said Thursday that they were puzzled by White House efforts to keep large portions of that section classified. Mr. Roberts pledged in his statement to maintain the pressure to declassify all of the Senate's conclusions.Note that this is the same report that is years late, thanks to the stonewalling of one Pat Roberts.

"This Committee will not settle for anything less," he said. "Neither will the American people."

Good Saturday afternoon!
I almost missed the morning because I S.L.E.P.T. I.N. like a lazy lady. But yesterday was my last day at internship, so I celebrated by treating myself to sleeping in big time. And now it's time for you to experience some tortilla soup.
So I should tell you that I have a lifelong for tortilla soup. Some of my favorites are from unlikely sources (Casa Ole, Taco Cabana, I know) but other favorites are from very likely sources (Lupe Tortilla, El Rey, Tila's, Pappasito's, and El Tiempo, my home). In fact, in Houston (my homeland), there are "tortilla soup battles" like here and here. Is it ridiculous? Slightly. Is it fo'real? Absolutely.
I have made tortilla soup maybe 8 times...ever. While this might not make me an expert, my recipe is evolving into something easy, hearty, and colorful. Of course we all have our preferences...lots of cheese, mounds of avocado, with/without chicken, with/w/out sour cream, really/not so salty...but the base is always the same. It's a chicken stock foundation with tomatoes, vegetables and just a little meat (nearly always chicken). The toppings list can be as long as the simmering, if you like. My recipe is a mixture of one of Rachael Ray's, Emeril's and my favorite restaurants' versions. I will warn you...once you make a batch, you will have enough for days and days. And I don't think this is a leftover that gets old. I promise this is EASY to make, and it will take you half the time the SECOND time you make it. Practice makes perfect, right? If you can, chop/prep all of the veggies and chicken first, then start cooking. And recruit a sous chef, too.
|Tortilla soup on a bed of lettuce, drained a little. Trust me, it's tasty.
makes ten 12 oz. servings, maybe more
This Tex-Mex classic soup is hearty, full of vegetables, and complimented with well-seasoned chicken. It is slow cooked to marry the flavors. While not very spicy, additional peppers can be added to kick up the heat. Served best by itself, topped with cheese/sourcream/tortillachips/avocado, or on top of a bed of lettuce for a zesty salad.
4 garlic cloves, peeled and sliced thin
3 TB olive oil
1 yellow onion, peeled and chopped (bite-sized)
1 red bell pepper, bite-sized pieces
Salt and pepper
2 zucchini, sliced into half moons, 1/4 inch thick (leave peel on)
1 potato, sliced into very small square bites (leave skin on)
1/4 cup water + 1/4 cup water + 2 cups water
1 to 1 1/2 pound chicken (I use white meat), cut into bite-sized pieces
1 lime, cut into halves
1 can corn
2 roma tomatoes (a regular large tomato works, too), cut into bite-sized pieces
1 can Rotel tomatoes (with mild or medium chilis)
1 handful of chopped cilantro, about 1/2 cup
2 TB chili powder
1/3 (3-4 TB) palm-full of cumin
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
2 whole small jalapenos, chopped (leave seeds in for more kick)
4 cups chicken stock--reduced sodium or no sodium
1CHOP: Chop all of the veggies and chicken. Turn your large crock pot onto high...or use a large soup pot on the stove (on medium).
2SAUTE: In a wok or large non-stick pan on medium-high heat, drizzle 1 TB olive oil over pan. Add in half of the sliced garlic cloves, a pinch of salt, a generous dash of pepper, and saute for 1 minute. Add in the onion and bell pepper, stirring and sauteing for 5 minutes. Onions should be clear and bell pepper should be slightly "soft." Transfer this to your crock pot or soup pot.
3SAUTE: In the same wok, add another 1 TB of olive oil and the rest of the sliced garlic. Let saute for one minute. Then add 1/4 cup water, zucchini and potato. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and a dash of pepper. Cover with lid and let cook for 7 minutes, or until potatoes and zucchini are 50% cooked. If potatoes are still solid, let cook for a few more minutes. Transfer to your crock pot or soup pot.
4COOK: In that same wok, add the last 1 TB olive oil and let get hot. Add chicken and the second 1/4 cup of water, plus the juice of half of a lime. Stir. Let cook on medium high for a few minutes, adding a pinch of salt and pepper, 2 TB chili powder, and 1 TB cumin. Let cook until all of the water has evaporated and the chicken has cooked all the way through--about 7 minutes. Transfer the chicken to the crock or soup pot.
5COLOR: Add the cans of corn and Rotel tomatoes to the crock pot. Add: cilantro, three cups of chicken stock, 2 cups of water, remaining cumin, crushed red pepper, jalapenos, and juice of 1/2 a lime + the lime. Stir. Cover and let marry for at least an hour, stirring every 15 minutes or so.
6TASTE: This is the best part. After that first hour of cooking, grab a spoon and taste to see if the flavors are coming together. Add more salt and pepper, crushed red pepper or cumin, to taste. If you'd like more broth, pour in the remaining cup of chicken stock. Let cook for 30-60 more minutes (or, if you can't wait, eat a bowl now and let the rest cook). Then share your personal flaw of impatience with a friend, like you all.
7CHA-CHA: Top with your favorites and eat greedily.
Optional Toppings when served:
Shredded cheese (cheddar, jack, swiss, mozzarella, etc.)
Sour cream/Greek yogurt
Tortilla chips, crumbled
Sliced avocado
Chopped onions
Extra sliced jalapenos, habaneros
Crusty bread on the side
Soft tortillas on the side
I hope you'll try this one for your next dinner party, lazy Sunday night meal, or just because. This is colorful comfort food, with a twist. Happy weekend, dear friends.
Happy eating!
Listening to: The Head and the Heart...beautiful, beautiful harmonies and strumming. Perfect for anytime.

Kim Kardashian thinks you're stupid
Kim Kardashian was shocked when on the Sept 7 episode of The View, Barbara Walters asked her how she could invite a paparazzi on her honeymoon to take intimate photos of her and husband Kris Humphries as they vacationed on the Amalfi Coast in Italy. Kim's response? "Oh, they [paparazzi] have really long lenses and they have boats in the water," denying any staged set ups with Splash who took the photos, and all her staged photos over time for that matter. Does the above photo look like it was taken from down below in the water 100 yards away? No camera is that good Kimmie! It was taken from your hotel deck, and you stopped kissing as soon as the Splash photog stopped clicking. She also said she had "no idea" Kris would propose on camera. If Kim takes a bowel movement and there's no camera there, did it really happen?

Who did Mel B call first--Splash paparazzi agency or the doctor?
Mel B (aka Scary Spice from the Spice Girls) does staged set-up paparazzi looking shots with Splash and shares in the profits. So, in the middle of the night when she went into labor, who did she call first? We think she called Splash to give them enough time to get to the hospital ahead of her.

The Dad Vail Regatta
Since 1934 the two-day race has taken place on a six-lane, Olympic-length course. They begin just north of where Kelly Drive intersects Hunting Park Avenue, and end 2,000 meters later at the Grand Stand, just above the Columbia Avenue Bridge.
My thanks to my client, Aberdeen Asset Management who sponsors the race.
