Escape into a world of colour the new EMOTT pen range
We are delighted to show you our brand new EMOTT pen range; beautiful, grown-up fine line colour markers that combine style and substance.
With a sleek white barrel design and available in a comprehensive choice of contemporary hues, EMOTT pens look fantastic and perform brilliantly.
Stylish stationery
This state of the art collection is stylishly presented in cool, contemporary, yet practical packaging to reflect modern tastes. Its minmal white casing is not only reminiscent of high-end cosmetic and on-trend home brands but also serves as a elegant, chic solution to display and store the pens. Perfect for people who love to enjoy, treasure and showcase their stylish stationery.
Robust and reliable
While this innovative new range is undoubtably gorgeous, the pens are also a discerning, reliable purchase for the stationery lover. It's ideal for people who like to set trends rather than follow them. The EMOTT's spectrum of 40 colours (from pretty candy shades and soft pastels to bold, vivid, primary hues and deep, evocative earth tones) suit a range of moods, looks and lifestyles.
The pens' impeccable build quality make the EMOTT a dependable marker that users will love and treasure. While the pens look sleek and delicate, the EMOTT's durable tip doesn't bend or split. This ensures a consistent line-width at any angle or pressure. Plus, its clear line, excellent colour coverage and water resistant, non-bleed and fade-proof ink means work created with the EMOTT looks crisp and will last an age.
As well as the 40-shade box, EMOTT pens are also available in a range of specially selected curated colour combinations in five and ten-piece sets that complement and illustrate seasons, moods and emotions. The five-piece pack comes with a stylish stand that allows you to store and display your pens. The 10-piece collection has a sleek flip-top case that can be angled for desk use then flipped back for easy storage.
EMOTT owners can escape into a world of colour by using the pens to practice mindful arts, crafts, journaling and writing with shades that suit their personality and individual style.

Celebrating Christmas – Words for Voices at Powderham
February 3, 2017
Powderham Castle hosted a brilliant evening in December! The Helen Foundation, one of Powderham's Charities of the Year, organised a fund-raising evening featuring entertainment by Words for Voices. Guests entered the beautifully decorated hall with its giant Christmas tree and were welcomed by a much appreciated log fire in the hearth.
With complimentary mulled wine and mince pies – and plenty of lively chatter – the evening started on a very festive note, providing the perfect start to the entertainment that followed in the iconic Music Room, one of most beautiful rooms in the West Country.
Words for Voices is a group of four trained actors, with accompanying musicians, who perform across Devon in support of a wide range of good causes. Over the past 20 years many tens of thousands of pounds have been raised for charities. Their shows are unique, with an eclectic mixture of poems, dialogues, dramatised readings and songs chosen to suit to the seasons of the year. From laugh-out-loud comedy to touching pathos and profound reflection, they have audiences completely in their hands. This special Christmas performance had everything from Charles Dickens to Thomas Hardy, from Gervaise Phinn's hilarious nativity play to Joyce Grenfell's immortal Nursery School.
A specially commissioned pastiche of Enid Blyton's Famous Five brought howls of laughter from the audience who departed the event with broad smiles of delight on their faces. "I really feel Christmas has started!" enthused one happy guest on leaving. Mezzo-soprano Helen Haviland was especially mentioned for her beautiful voice and exquisite phrasing so well suited to the Music Room.

Back in July I was on the Packard Pokes At podcast (see the links below) and had such a blast that we had Packard and Connie come on our show the next night. Unlike Packards show, we're not live so I've been sitting on the file for awhile now. It's been a crazy couple months since we recorded this, between dealing with some things with my mentally ill brother, my dad getting diagnosed with cancer, hiring someone new for the mail truck he drives, the kids going back to school, spending time with my girlfriend and planning the Shift To Reason conference; I've kinda been running my ass off. Now, Before we actually get into the show I just want to thank Packard and Connie for coming on the show. We had a lot of fun even though we weren't very organized.
And that's all for the regular feed version of this episode. A big thank you to Packard and Connie for joining us. Sorry it took so long to get this out.

The Institute for Market Transformation (IMT) has named Liberty Property Trust (NYSE:LPT) and Kilroy Realty (NYSE:KRC) Green Lease Leaders. But does that make them good options if you like dividends and want to invest with an eye toward the environment?
They're on the same page
Janelle Strand, a vice president at Kilroy, notes that green lease language, "helps ensure that tenant and landlord environmental interests are aligned..." Marla Thalheimer, the director for sustainability at Liberty, explains that the laying out of environmental responsibilities in the lease is critical to, "...ensuring a win-win outcome with the tenants."
The lease, a legal document, is a powerful tool in the property market. It dictates the landlord's and tenant's responsibilities. If it's in the lease, it better get done, because a lawsuit (or eviction notice) could be waiting in the wings if it doesn't. That's why IMT focused on this aspect of the property market when it created the Green Lease award.
Kilroy and Liberty take the environment seriously. For example, Kilroy has what it calls an environmental "vision" and Liberty has an environment "mission statement." So this award is a nice feather in each company's cap, particularly since both have a penchant for building from the ground up.
Does that make me money?
Being green is nice, but making some green is much better. Liberty's top line, for example, hasn't been particularly impressive over the last couple of years. Revenues last year were nearly 14% below the high water mark reached in 2010. But that masks some positives.
Liberty, an industrial and office REIT, has been shifting out of suburban office properties and increasing its exposure to industrial assets. According to CEO Bill Hankowsky, "In the first quarter, Liberty finalized our transformational sale of suburban office and flex properties..."
Although the shift isn't over, that was a big step in getting the REIT on a new track.
Liberty's Hankowsky continues, "We continue to see strong activity in our industrial markets and anticipate accelerating growth in earnings in the second half of 2014." Now that the portfolio is better aligned with management's goals, you should be holding Liberty to those positive words.
And the dividend, which has been stuck at $1.90 a share annually since being cut in 2009, could finally start heading higher again. With an around 5% yield, Liberty is both a green landlord and a REIT with a catalyst for a brighter future.
Kilroy was here, and now it's there
Kilroy has had better luck with its rent roll. Aside from a one-year dip in 2009, this West Coast office building owner, has seen its top line head steadily higher over the past decade.
That said, Kilroy cut its dividend in 2009, too.
Though saving money was a big reason for the cut, there was more involved. Since 2009, Kilroy has gone from a company with 100% of its assets in southern California to one with three core markets. Southern California now makes up 50% of the portfolio, northern California 35%, and Seattle 15%.
That's added an important level of diversification at this active asset manager hitting new highs on the transaction front. Over the last two years, the company has essentially sold ($850 million) as much as its bought ($961 million). The big difference is that it spent about $1.5 billion on construction, up materially from years past.
And Kilroy has six projects on the drawing board totaling nearly 1.4 million square feet of space. So look for green growth from the ground up to continue.
However, this construction heavy approach suggests that the dividend is likely to stay stuck at $1.40 a share annually. Thus, this 2.3% yielder is probably not the best bet for an income investors.
Being both at once
You can invest green or you can invest for income, but trying to marry the two approaches can be a little more complicated.
Liberty and Kilroy, two award wining green landlords, prove that out. That said, if you are looking for a green dividend play, Liberty is worth a deep dive.

I laughed on many different levels. I looked up the press release, it used different wording but it does appear to be true. It is a year off so at least they will likely experience a huge surge around the announcement. Surge as in sales and publicity. The first article I read was written more casually and claimed the internet screwed everything up. I am sure it did.
Growing up in the 70's Playboy was part of the educational process, somewhere in the same realm of National Geographic and taking all the clothes off GI Joe and Barbie.
I think of how much creativity the kids of today are being robbed of by not being challenged with the search for their parents secret stash. Many studies have been written over the years about the differences in generations and the general evolution away from ambition toward ambivalence. I may have stumbled upon a root cause the researchers missed.
Kids are not being challenged enough.
One of my childhood friends had to stack a step stool on a chair to access the secret stash in her parents closet. I realize this is only one example, but look at how many life skills she was learning. Problem solving, tenacity, logistics, physical fitness, stealth, mathematics, a little engineering and this is all before the biology or anatomy even began. Contrast this against the same kid sitting on the couch consuming solid corn syrup in some form, pushing a button on her phone. No challenge. I don't have time to conduct a formal study but it is not necessary, I have done in ten minutes what countless millions in federal money and dozens of universities would take years to accomplish.
In the early days of the internet, porn was about the only profitable industry. Back when everyone with a hand full of money scrambled to monetize this grand new technology, the sex peddlers successfully led the way.
The next laughing point I had was when I continued writing headlines in none other than my head. "Internet Porn Makes Nudity Irrelevant." I see a lot to this. "Internet Porn Ruins Playboy". I ran through several and it brought up the question of what if it were true?
What if the over abundance of sex in every form, everywhere you look had really run its course. It is total nonsense but the whole thing makes me think and definitely has been good for some laughs.

is a wonderful time for everyone. It is a time for new beginnings,
because even Mother Nature seems to rinse itself anew and find ways to
remind everyone on earth that it is beautiful and refreshing. Not only
does the environment seem fresher and cleaner, people also seem to have
better and more excited moods as opposed to winter time. There is more
energy about, and everything seems to be available to try new things and
do something different for a change. Spring is like the New Year for
the earth, and the resolutions all begin with zeal.
that spring is such a beautiful season and feeling, it seems normal
that so many people would want to immortalize how it feels and what it
makes other people feel. The beauty of bamboo fountains
is that it can bring that emotion to anyone who sees and admires it.
This is because the mere sight of a bamboo fountain seems to send
memories of spring and renewal into a person.
bamboos remind the person of the growth that occurs during spring time,
and the water brings back to mind the cleansing that occurs with the
growth. Bamboo fountains can also work for a long time because they
simply work through naturally hydrophobic materials such as rocks and
bamboo. The whole setup also looks natural, owing to a very organic and
relaxing feeling.
other wonderful thing about bamboo fountain products is that they no
longer have to stay outside. Even if a bamboo fountain uses water to
offer its soothing memories, it doesn't necessarily have to exist
strictly outside the house.
bamboo fountains are traditionally found at the entrance of a home, or
in a Japanese garden, some bamboo fountain products can now be enjoyed
and appreciated within the home. For example, a desk fountain can be
perfect for those who spend lots of time indoors. Placing a bamboo
fountain on or near your work table can definitely save you the time and
effort of looking for something relaxing while also making it easier
for you to enjoy it. The water can even help you focus better on what
you're doing, especially because the trickling sound of water is very
relaxing and conducive to creation.
other indoor bamboo fountains can be found inside bathrooms where the
plumbing system can easily be connected to the fountain. These can make
your showers and personal time much more relaxing and enjoyable than
before, especially because they create a great focal point for when
you're stressed and need a little bit of a resting period.
fountains are perfect for bringing the wonderful tastes of spring
indoors. Not only can they work efficiently inside and yet still offer
the same beauty and relaxation they can outside, but they can also work
even better since they can make a very stressful work area transform
into an oasis.

Much like my tea-time with Kathy…these little Leavenworth finds and interactions with other military spouses who have trudged the roads before me are priceless.
This week I finally wandered around the Riverfront Community Center in Leavenworth, KS, learning its history and current function. If you didn't already know, the building was a Union Pacific Train Station in the 1800's, specifically for passengers. The freight train stop was over…
While running errands, he's also pointed to the stunning historic homes in the area. Here's a sneak peek of some we've discovered on our Leavenworth adventures:
The opera cake bite was delicious and watching sisters, Gass and Gann cook together, made me miss my own sisters on this calm morning. Moving with the military can certainly give us newfound appreciation for the family and loved ones we have back home
She explains the building is said to have ghosts and I about froze in my tracks y'all!
#TheDependas is more than a name friends, and spending the time to sit and chat with the two military spouses behind the comical videos has helped me check my own assumptions.
Keep scrolling for a fun shamrock hunt in downtown Leavenworth!
As I quietly step out of the Café, Mrs. Garner calls me by name and gives me a friendly smile and wave–I need to get better at doing the same–I'm always growing!
Here are a few of my drive-by finds. Please note, this is not an exhaustive list of parks in Leavenworth, KS.
…so many questions about the detailed stories the murals told. It gave me an opportunity to briefly sit and chat with them about slavery, the underground railroad, buffalo soldiers, our American flag, and women's equality.

Imports of petroleum on the rise last quarter
Cambodia's petrol bill topped $440 million at the end of the first quarter, up 11 per cent from $397 million during the same period last year, according to data from the Ministry of Commerce.
The data show Cambodia imported a total of 453,000 tonnes of petroleum during the first quarter this year, 10 per cent more than the amount imported during the three months of 2013.
Srey Chanthy, an independent economist, said that the country's economic expansion was behind the increase in fuel demand.
"The economy may not be the strongest, but it continues performing very well. That's why we need to import more to supply domestic production and to support the demand of transportation," Chanthy said.
"With improvements within the agricultural sector, but a shortage in the labour force, we need to import more machinery and equipment, which all need to consume petrol despite the fact that our country doesn't produce its own petroleum," Chanthy added.
Cambodia spends over $1 billion on more than one million tonnes of oil imports per year. The majority of imports come from Vietnam, Singapore and Thailand.
Meanwhile, plans of US-based energy giant Chevron to extract oil from the Gulf of Thailand to one day aid in domestic production continue to be stalled due to negotiations with the Cambodian government over taxation issues.
Cambodia Petrochemical Company (CPC) plans to build an 80-hectare oil refinery worth an estimated $2.3 billion in Preah Sihanouk and Kampot provinces.
Construction of the refinery, however, has been delayed and it is not expected to be operational until 2016.

The new January Kit from SCRAPTHAT! has so many beautiful papers from My Minds Eye Lost and Found and many embellishments that you will love them just as much as I do! This is my first DT and I was so excited to see how great this kit would be!
In this first lo, the feathers that come with the kit made think of Native America and so therefore the title reflects that....Roxy is my Rose and the blue feather flower went so well with this photo...In this lo, I bought out all the beautiful reds that comes with this kit! I used the red stickles, included in the kit to make my own swirls. I also used more of the gorgeous papers to make my own flowers. The pearl brads for the flowers also come with the kit!
In this lo, I wanted it to be sophisticated, glamourous with a bit of a vintage look. It is glittery and the butterflies that come also with this kit are stunning!
I hope you will come over to SCRAPTHAT! to see these new kits for January! There are so many more embellishments included that I am even working on another lo using this kit!

The Importance of Being Mentored
Each Generation Has a Lot to Teach … and Learn
I sat surrounded by paperwork, almost, it seemed, up to my ears. My desk was covered. The table behind my desk was covered. Part of the floor was covered. It was my second week working as a trial lawyer in a rural West Tennessee firm, and I was now responsible for answering 20 or so motions in limine filed by Ford Motor Company weeks before the trial of a complex products liability case pending in Memphis. I was to sit "second chair," on a case that had been filed for years, had been back and forth in federal and state court with issues of high-speed chases by law enforcement, federal preemption of motor vehicle safety standards, jurisdiction, and now, 20-something motions in limine.
So I got to work.
As I worked, sorting case law into piles on the floor, a soft knock at the door cued me to look up as the door swung open. Standing over me, at 6 feet, 5 inches (or roundabout), was Retired Tennessee Supreme Court Chief Justice Lyle Reid.
"Don't get up, don't get up. I simply came to introduce myself," he said. "You're exactly where I thought you'd be — surrounded by research and in the middle of a project. I look forward to working with you!" Always the gentleman, Justice Reid shook my hand (as I sat in the floor, dumbfounded) and departed, as quickly as he had appeared. He worked as Of Counsel to the firm, part-time, one office over from my own.
So I got back to work (and later called my mother, mortified that I had met Justice Reid, a man whose opinions I had pored over, whose words I had parsed for years, while sitting in the floor surrounded by research and was too startled to stand up!).
I was now employed as an associate attorney in a rural solo practice firm, owned by J. Houston Gordon, and had only been graduated from law school for about two years. Mr. Gordon was a trial lawyer. I thought that meant litigator. What it actually meant was that Mr. Gordon, always in a dark suit and a red tie, his gray hair freshly cut and shoes shined, advocated for his clients in a professional, courteous, but straightforward way, both in and out of the courtroom. With lawyers, courts, mediators, clients, witnesses, receptionists, waitresses and parking attendants — he looked them in the eyes when he spoke to them, took time to ask how their day was going, and meant what he said. He didn't speak in unnecessary words, ask unnecessary questions, or make unnecessary objections. He prepared his cases with intention and a laser focus that was intimidating. To see him work was so much more than litigation.
What I learned over the next long two months of my life was that law school had taught me very little, and my experience gained since then had taught me even less about the art of trial and the actual practice of law. It's not to say that I hadn't worked hard, been taught how to analyze, how to think and how to summarize a case. I learned how to recite statutes, how to use Westlaw, and even (gasp!) how to open the book instead of use the computer. Law school was an intense experience that was some of the hardest work I'd ever done. I learned a lot and had excellent professors. Little did I know that, to excel at your craft, there is always so much more to learn.
So I kept working.
I had the unbelievable experience of answering all of those motions in limine, to win a fair amount of them, to sit second chair to Houston Gordon for an eight-and-a-half-week grueling trial, and watch the art of trial unfold from a front row seat. Everyone in the office worked from the early morning hours, until the early morning hours. Weekends, nights and every moment in between. There were motions filed all during trial, witnesses in and out, experts, jury issues (including an entire day spent doing voir dire only to have the entire jury pool dismissed, to start afresh the second day!), and more. The lawyers worked, the staff worked, the court worked, the jury worked — it all seemed to flow, day to day, as we worked furiously behind the scenes to ensure that there was no delay between witnesses, that the necessary exhibits were properly entered, that the opinions were elicited, and, more than anything, that our client had the best shot at relief. He was only six years old when he was paralyzed by a seat belt injury, and would be living with his injuries for the rest of his life.
So I worked harder.
We were able to bring the case to a verdict, in our client's favor. I say "we," but while I was present, candidly, I had little to do with the undertaking that went on during those eight weeks. I was new to the firm and new to the concept of a trial lawyer. It felt surreal to be able to dig into the complex issues and then watch as the case unfolded from a front- row seat. I didn't realize then that this opportunity would not be commonplace, since fewer and fewer cases are tried these days. There was such a mountain of work to be done that there was little time to reflect on the lessons that were taught. Looking back, I could not have hoped for a better experience to jump-start my journey into this area of law.
The art of trial. The work for which I would develop a passion that would keep me up at night, worried about my clients, and coming back to court for case after case in an attempt to turn the wheels of justice.
After that trial was over, I knew that either I was crazy, or this is what God meant for me to do. The problem was, I had no idea how to do it. So, one day I got in the car to travel to a hearing about two hours away with the man I had watched so closely for eight-and-a-half weeks. As Mr. Gordon drove his black, shiny car down the country highway, past miles and miles of farmland, I worked up the nerve to ask him to mentor me. As he drove along, I searched for the right words. Finally, I took a deep breath, and as the air conditioning blew strong and cold in my face, asked: "Mr. Gordon, would you be willing to mentor me?"
Total silence followed. I wondered if he had heard me, if he was thinking over what I said, or if I had just asked for something completely unreasonable and was now going to lose my job. After about 20 minutes of silence (doing my best not to look as nervous as I felt), he quietly asked, "What is it that you really want?"
"I want to learn how to do what you do," I said. "I want to be the best trial lawyer I can possibly be."
"Well you're not going to enjoy this," he said. "Are you sure this is what you really want?"
"Yes, I am."
In the days that followed, he would tell me that he never planned at this point in his career to take on mentoring a young attorney. "I have practiced law for 36 years," he said, "and there are people who have worked as young lawyers for me 10 years ago who excel in their fields today. They are lawyers, judges, federal clerks, but most of all, they are fine people who care about what they do. You have big shoes to fill."
What, exactly, was I asking for? I was already employed as an associate with his firm, so why was I asking for mentorship? A process that would be difficult and, as I had already been warned, unenjoyable?
The answer was simple: I knew I needed help. Help to learn how to think on my feet, to respond appropriately, to address the court and the jury and opposing counsel with the proper amount of respect and in the proper manner. Where to walk, how to talk, how to enunciate, how to explain and break down complex problems into easily understandable issues, how to talk with opposing counsel, how to earn a client's trust, how to think. There was so much to learn.
"I don't want to be a disposable associate attorney responsible for certain tasks," I told him. "I want to excel in my profession, not just be mediocre, and I would like for you to teach me as much as you can, if you are willing."
"What you're asking of me is a lot, but I am willing to do it if you are," he said. "I am going to warn you: it will not be easy. You have a steep learning curve ahead of you, because what we do is important. We take care of people who have been left out and left behind. You should be prepared to work long hours, and I want you to work smart, not just hard."
I wanted to learn. So I worked. And listened.
My mentor ascribed to the theory that he may not be the smartest person in the room, but he would work harder than anyone. He "worked smart," not just hard. He cut through a lot of the turbulence that assaults us each day as we step into our offices, and he moved the clients from Point A to Point B with such force that he made it look easy.
Trust me, it was not easy. What he could dictate in minutes took me hours. Phone calls he made were articulate, direct and authoritative, while I muddled through calls with experts, clients and counsel. Motions he argued took complex problems and seemed to make them simple. It seemed that sometimes, I could barely grasp the legal concepts. I could have punted, called it a day and gone home.
He had been right: It was not a pleasant experience.
Instead of giving in, I tucked my pride in my back pocket, took every red mark he made in revisions to my work (there were a LOT), and went into his office.
"Could you tell me why you changed this?" I would ask. "Why is that important? What did I do wrong here? How can I say this better? Why did you do it this way?"
Perhaps the most important lesson I learned is that growth is rarely, if ever, a comfortable experience. To excel at your craft, you must grow. To grow means to change. To change is to admit that your style could be different, the substance could be better, your analysis is not on point, your client control needs work, or understanding a case means you have to read 10 or 15 other cases. There are no shortcuts.
Looking back, I was probably the last person Mr. Gordon wanted to see knocking on his door (again!) for the 10th time any given day, but again, my pride had ventured out the window and was not on its way back any time soon. I wanted to learn, and my drive to learn how to excel as a lawyer outweighed the embarrassment I would have normally felt upon receiving such blunt criticism.
Questions kept coming. After all, he had committed to mentoring, so my part of the bargain was to ask about those things I didn't know. He let me tag along to depositions. I asked questions on the way. He allowed me to get to know the clients. He encouraged me to attend continuing education seminars, and to ask questions.
So I took his advice.
As this mentorship evolved, we completed another multi-week trial in federal court (only my second trial in federal court at that time, and a criminal case against the United States Attorneys' Office). Another multi-week trial after that, this time in state court, a combination of premises liability and medical negligence with the original tortfeasor rule thrown into the mix. I sat "second chair" on both, and unlike the first trial, was able to actively assist in the resolution of our clients' claims.
Every day, my intent and assignment was to be purposeful and to focus. Was it tiring? Yes. Were there some days I questioned whether or not this mentoring gig had been a good idea?
Definitely. Were there times where I wondered if I would ever "get it" and be able to think like those around me? Absolutely.
The work was work I enjoyed. It was interesting. We helped people. I did not take the opportunity for granted and still don't, even today.
Along the way, the true lessons learned by this small-town lawyer were that there were more mentors around me than just the great man who chose to take on mentoring a young attorney. My mentor patiently answered every question I asked, whether it was about law or not. Justice Reid (we recently celebrated his 60th year of practicing law) has also helped and mentored me, and never once turned me away if I had a question — and still doesn't. The floor below our office holds another small firm with excellent attorneys who practiced in government, domestic and criminal work. Down the street, the next county over and across the state were judges who never hesitated to answer my questions. Other lawyers, retired judges, mediators, clerks, court officers, opposing counsel after your case is completed — all have something to share if you take the time to ask.
No matter what area of the law you choose, mentors are there. Mentors are ready to help. Nothing is more important to maintaining the integrity of our profession than passing the art of the law on to the next class of lawyers eager to practice. Why not take advantage of it?
It was up to me to put my desire to learn above my pride and ask. As it says in the Bible (Matthew 7:7-12): "Ask." "Seek." "Knock." So I did those things, as well as to try. Listen. Learn. Make mistakes, and try again. Don't give up.
Seven years later, I am still being mentored, although not as intensely. I would venture to say that there is not a day that goes by when I don't appear in Houston Gordon's office with a question, a comment, an article, or a thought to discuss. While he may not have ever intended on mentoring another young attorney, I am so grateful that he did.
If you ever have a question, please tuck your pride in your pocket, pick up the phone, and call. If you call me, I will do my best to help — to honor those who took the time to share their insight, it is the least I can do.

Again, I used Stampin' Up! colours and stamps. They are: Certainly Celery, Always Artichoke and Pink Passion for the colours. And the stamps are: Totally Tabs, Stampin' Around Dotted Lines and Pocket Silhouettes. I also used the Tab punch and a circle punch as well as a corner rounder.
For the "floating" flowers, I coloured only one of them with a marker to stamp it where I wanted it.

Signs Your House Is Haunted And What To Do About It. Plus A Nice Ghost
Individuals shifting into a new new dwelling need to be congratulated. A housewarming is a momentous occasion. A new dwelling symbolizes the way forward for the family, and the loving reminiscences that will probably be made there. It additionally symbolizes the previous, and the hard work that went into taking the step of homeownership.

Being a web developer or website owner means that the first thing that will be revealed to your customers or site visitors is your personal or company information. This is because registering a domain name means that pertinent details will be displayed to the public, including your real name, home or billing address, email address, contact number, etc.
This can be pretty risky since your personal identity can be stolen by hackers and online thieves in order to be used for malicious intents.
As a site owner who is serious about generating revenue from a website, you don't want this happening to you!
What is WHOIS and how does it affect me?
WHOIS is a query protocol that's used to obtain information about a certain domain owner. Because you are registering a domain name, you are required to publish how other Web users will be able to communicate with you.
The WHOIS database requires four important information, such as:
- Registrant's name
- Contact number
- Mailing address
- Email address
This is required by the International Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), a non-profit organization that is responsible for managing the maintenance and methodology of databases of domain names and unique identifiers on the Internet, as well as ensuring the stability and security of the entire network. ICANN is where site owners can register businesses that are operating virtually.
What makes the WHOIS database a potentially dangerous tool for private individuals/companies is that everyone has access to the search engines, and they can use it for their own benefit at any time. This makes it even more difficult to attract possible site owners who don't wish to reveal their personal information to the public.
With all that said, a lot of site owners are turning to web hosting providers that can help protect their private data online. One of these companies is iPage.
iPage's Domain Privacy Feature
The Domain Privacy feature is offered by iPage as a solution to the concerns and requirements that are often requested by site owners from a web hosting company. They also offer domain privacy options for new and current website owners who want to keep their WHOIS information private. This can be done with just a click of a button for iPage account holders.
Why Choose iPage?
iPage is one of the best and most trusted web hosting companies that's always on top of many web hosting review sites. The company is also classified as a leader in providing quality yet affordable web hosting solutions, and is backed by more than ten years of service and excellence in the field. Today, they are hosting more than a million websites owned by web developers and site owners from all over the world.
Domain Privacy in iPage
iPage's domain privacy option is not available for free to account holders. But for only $9.99/year, you can rest assured that your personal details are kept safe and secure with iPage.
Many web hosting companies offer domain extensions according to their level of popularity. The domain extensions offered by iPage include .com, .org, .net, .biz, .name, .info, .tv, .cc, and more.
Accessing the Domain Privacy option in iPage
You will have to login to your iPage account.
- From the control panel, click on the DomainCentral icon from the Domain section to see a list all of your existing domains registered under iPage and other registrars.
- From there, you will see all relevant information beside the domain name, including the expiration date, privacy, and renewal options.
The "Buy Now" option is available in the Privacy column which, when clicked, turns on the Domain Privacy Option. If you choose to purchase this add-on feature, a new page will show you the terms and conditions of using the Domain Privacy feature. This includes a detailed explanation about WHOIS and ICANN.

Case study ( 4986 views as of January 21, 2020 )
Michelle is a 14-year-old competitive gymnast who trains five days per week at the local gym. She is very competitive, and has her eyes on an upcoming international competition in six months time, which will influence eligibility for the National Olympic team. She has been having pain most days in her mid-back, but it has not stopped her from training.
Michelle was told in the past that most girls with her degree of scoliosis don't require surgery. Her parents and her coach are both concerned that the daily pain may indicate further deterioration in the future.
Michelle may benefit from a visit to her family physician who may then refer her to a rheumatologist, orthopedic surgeon and/or physiotherapist. Michelle may also benefit from the services of a chiropractor, massage therapist and bracing specialist. Michelle could also consider consulting with a personal trainer, pharmacist and/or yoga instructor to help manage her symptoms.Author: Dr. Adam Lund
Conversation based on: Scoliosis in a Young Athlete " Michelle is a 14-year-old competitive gymnast "
Scoliosis in a Young Athlete " Michelle is a 14-year-old competitive gymnast "
Is it dangerous for kids who have scoliosis to do such an active sport as gymantic?Flag as inappropriate
My friend's daughter was just diagnosed with scoliosis. She has to wear a brace for 20 hours a day until she finishes growing. It doesn't sound like bracing was discussed for Michelle. What is the criteria for deciding if bracing will help ?Flag as inappropriate
Would her increased training be a contributing factor in the increased back pain ?Flag as inappropriate
If the structure of her back and spine is not well supported, I can see how her increased training would result in more back pain. I think this young girl's scoliosis really does need to be properly assessed and managed to account for the type of exercise she is doing. She isn't fully developed yet, and I would fear that her extra training could cause some damage if she isn't under a strong management plan.Flag as inappropriate
Stretching would help a significant amount as it would relieve muscles that are pulling on both the spine itself and pulling the joint and the muscles that are pulling the spine itself. Tight muscles.cramp and tighten and thus have no give and.create tension on the joint.Flag as inappropriate
Braces are great but stretching would be a better alternative to long term issues.Flag as inappropriate
Absolutely @K.Michael. The key is to seek out the qualified professional to help with your condition. I would be looking for someone with a solid list of credentials who is knowledgable in dealing with scoliosis, in this scenario. You can always ask your family physician for a referral to a qualified chiropractor or physiotherapist, and there are many athletic therapists and exercise physiologists out there who have a strong understanding of the considerations needed in treating someone with scoliosis.Flag as inappropriate
It's all about improving the flexibility to reduce the chance of injury. The brace is going to be an artificial support whereas a good stretching program can improve the integrity of her joints and along her spine. As a gymnast, one would assume that she has a solid history of stretching, however it would be good for her to consult with a sports medicine physician or physiotherapist about the most appropriate exercises for her condition.Flag as inappropriate
Is there a certain degree of curvature of the spine that is considered normal and not scoliosis ? I've mentioned to my doctor that my daughter seems to have quite an arch in her lower back but he said it was normalFlag as inappropriate
Would wearing some kind of brace help with her pain level when she's not training ?Flag as inappropriate
Would increasing her training cause additional stress on her back and increase her pain ?Flag as inappropriate
I would definitely have this considered since this young girl is training competitively. The amount of stress and impact on her back given her gymnastics training 5 days a week, and the fact that she is still developing should be properly evaluated with a physiotherapist or rheumatologist.Flag as inappropriate
What effect does living with scoliosis, mild or more severe, have on a person's life?Flag as inappropriate
What degree of scoliosis DOES require surgery?Flag as inappropriate
The degree of scoliosis will have an impact on how much straightening of the spine can be done during surgery. Some people will scoliosis have more flexibility in the curvature of their spine which usually means more manipulation and correction can be done during surgery. Obviously, each case will be treated individually.Flag as inappropriate
Is there anything one can/should do to prevent scoliosis?Flag as inappropriate
I believe that the training required of young girls to compete at such a high level in gymnastics is hard on their bones. I imagine it would be that much harder for an athlete with scoliosis. Has she asked her doctor what future ramifications there may be for continuing to train at this level?Flag as inappropriate
How is a diagnosis of scoliosis made ?Flag as inappropriate
Is Scoliosis hereditary ?Flag as inappropriate
What causes Scoliosis ? How can it be managed ?Flag as inappropriate
