Testing Services – As a facility that requires parts cleaning, you want the right parts washer that is effective and efficient. Aqueous solutions have provided organizations with enhanced cleaning methods that also save time, money and provide a safe work environment. However, how do you know your aqueous parts washer has the qualifications you need? The machines need to be analyzed by professionals who can test every vital component to ensure your machine is working to it's full potential. An in-house testing facility by your parts washer provider offers several benefits to ensure you get the best possible service for your facility needs.
Benefits Of In-House Testing
Shipping costs can be expensive for just about anything but especially if the product is purchased from one place and then needs testing from another. Having a facility that can do it all helps you save money and the time it takes for completion.
Additionally, you can rest assure knowing that the facility testing your parts washer understands every functionality of the aqueous machine and will be able to ensure the highest quality service. Knowing that the testing facility is associated with the same manufacturer should provide customers the comfort level they need to make intelligent decisions concerning cleaning equipment.
Aqueous Testing Services
A testing facility should require the appropriate examination materials to ensure everything is tested correctly.Jenfab's in-house testing capabilities have the ability to:
- Preform a fully automated particle count and sizing for particles as small as 10 micron for soil analysis and to verify cleanliness achievement.
- Preform fiber detection and measurement, and have the capability to have a separate particle and fiber count.
- Differentiate between metallic and non-metallic contaminants.
- Measure the total molecular weight of the part soils and debris both before and after cleaning.
- ISO compliant analysis and reporting.
- The system incorporates a high resolution digital color camera for documentation along with a detailed report for QC.
- System documentation for certification of calibration for full traceability.
JRI also has the capability to test clean your parts to make sure your washer provides a thorough clean that meets regulations as well as saves you time on having to rewash the parts.
Make sure your aqueous parts washer is tested by the people who know the machines best.

Organic food: more evidence of how it's overhyped
A report by Stanford University scientists that found little advantage for organic food over conventional products – reported here by The New York Times – is creating quite a stir, but you have to wonder why.
Studies for years have indicated that the touted advantages of organic fruits, vegetables and meat were often mythical – and especially the claims involving nutrients and safety.
As I wrote in The Denver Post three years ago,
"If some folks want to pay a premium for organic products, so be it. … Organic farming no doubt can be better for the land in many locales – and reducing pesticide use is a laudable goal – but its lower yields are woefully unsuited to meet the world's needs.
"Nor is organic food necessarily safer to eat. As The New York Times explained in March, 'An organic certification technically has nothing to do with food safety.'
"Nutrition? 'On the basis of a systematic review of studies … there is no evidence of a difference in nutrient quality between organically and conventionally produced foodstuffs,' researchers at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine concluded recently in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
"When I contacted Professor Dawn Thilmany of Colorado State University's Department of Agricultural and Resource Economics, she told me a similar story. The evidence is 'inconclusive in terms of nutritional values,' she said, adding only that vitamin C might be enhanced by organic farming and antioxidant levels perhaps improved."
Some critics of the Stanford study are claiming that advocates for organics are vindicated because it confirmed that conventional fruits and vegetables had more pesticide residue, but that's only relevant if current safety standards for pesticide residues are way too high. Meanwhile, the idea that fans of organics have never based their preference partly on nutrition, as some are claiming in the wake of the Stanford findings, is preposterous.

We are not the kind of folks who generally eat hot dogs and hamburgers while camping. I usually try to come up with something different for us to eat. The challenge, of course, is the limited cooking facilities available, since we tent camp...no RV's here !
The night before this glorious breakfast, we had smoked hot links with blueberry barbeque sauce, grilled potatoes and bacon cream cheese jalapeno poppers. I "recycled" the leftovers into a southwestern style hash, and served it with two sunny side up eggs, green enchilada sauce. Ray now wants this every time we go camping now!
Huevos Rancheros with Breakfast Hash
3 baked potatoes, diced into 1 inch pieces
1 small red pepper, diced
1 small onion, diced
3 spicy hot links, cooked and chopped into pieces
3 leftover jalapeno poppers, sliced (or three jalapenos, diced)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons butter
4 eggs
Green enchilada sauce
Warm tortillas
Place large skillet on stove, and heat oil. Add potatoes, red pepper and onion, and cook until potatoes start to brown. Add sausage and jalapenos. Continue to cook until potatoes are crispy, 10-12 minutes. In a separate pan, melt butter. Gently fry eggs sunny side up to your desired doneness. Serve eggs over potatoes, and top with green enchilada sauce. You may also want to scoop into tortillas to eat.

So how are we doing so far with this year's list of goals? Let's do a "little more than" 3 month check in:
Culture Vulture
1. Read 15 books - Book club always helps out with this goal. Although without the 1-2-3 punch of The Hunger Games books this year, how quickly will I be able to add these up?
The Forgotten 500 - a WWII book club pick that most said was too textbooky, but I liked. I considered it a cross between Unbroken, Argo and In the Garden of Beasts.
The Accidental Tourist - enjoyed this one. Looks like its time I put the movie on my Netflix list.
Lottery - a bit schmaltzy for my taste, but a quick read.
Lean In - great book club discussion and a business book I actually enjoyed reading!
**almost done with Michael Chabon's latest, Telegraph Avenue, and about to start The Last Lecture for book club! 2 upcoming flights will be sure to cross these off the list.
2. Watch 120 movies - The Netflix queue never has had less than 100 movies on it (yes, we still rock the hard discs in the mail).
31 since February 1. Looks like I'm just about on target.
3. Two trips to the theater - We just got back from The Book of Mormon after originally purchasing the tickets last summer. I can't stop singing the soundtrack. Of course, not out loud - I might get fired!
4. Visit two museums - last year we checked out the Lichtenstein exhibit at the Art Institute - what's coming up there this year?
Certainly got my fill in DC. Highlights included the Newseum and American History Museum.
5. Travel to three new cities - Work always helps me out here, with a planned trip this summer to Park City for an event. Add to this a potential DC/Baltimore visit in April and our big New England Road Trip for the fall and this one is in the bag.
DC - check! Baltimore - check! About to add Park City, Utah to the list!
6. Book an international trip - OK, this might be one that gets put on the back burner, but hopefully not. With our New England Road Trip being our big to-do this year, here's hoping we'll have at least started talking about what 2014 has in store for us. Fingers crossed I finally get to cross South America off of my list!
7. Have a day of fun and culture with my niece - She's nearing four years old - the perfect age to check out the Shedd Aquarium if I do say so myself.
How Entertaining
8. Take a knife skills class - Okay, I'm cheating just a little here because we just accomplished this long-standing goal this past week at The Chopping Block. Never fear me with a chef's knife again!
9. Make bread and cheese - We received a breadmaker as a wedding gift, and although it has gotten quite a bit of use already it has been driven by Mr. Kamicar. I'd like to find a couple recipes to try out. The idea of making my own mozzarella keeps popping up on Pinterest and I figure its time to give it a shot.
10. Invest in freezer meals - My recipes posts as of late have certainly had a theme - and our freezer is reaping the rewards. Keep 'em coming with at least 4 more meals like these breakfast burritos or this delish pasta.
11. Host 3 parties - With the wedding yesterday's news, I am ready to plan a few smaller scale bashes. Not to mention we still have a ton of liquor left over from the reception.
I hosted a Bunco party in February for a group of gals, and a big party is on tap for June 22!
12. Clean up as we go - I'm sure I am not the only one with this bad habit. I make a great meal and the dishes sit in the sink. Sometimes rinsed off, sometimes not. Why don't I just put them in the dishwasher you ask? Well, it is probably filled up with clean dishes we haven't put away yet! It is time to clean as we cook. I think we'll all be a lot happier in the end.
We have been doing a great job with this one! It is finally relaxing to look into the kitchen.
Health and Wellness
13. Cut down on soda - I don't think I overdue it to begin with - I'm not guzzling three before noon or anything, but some days I realized all I have had to drink that day is a soda for lunch and a soda with dinner and I get a little sad for myself.
14. Run another 5K - I failed miserably at hitting this goal last time. Literally got out to run three times since my big 5K of 2010. But I'm not giving up on me yet.
15. Safeguard - I'm talking wills, emergency plans and kits, checking out life insurance and all that good stuff you really don't ever want to tackle.
I started an emergency kit over Memorial Weekend, including buying a fire extinguisher for the house (there is one in the hallway of our condo building, so I wouldn't have had to go far, but still...
My inspiration came from this blog post from A Bowl Full of Lemons, but I don't know that I have the space nor the energy to make one this ambitious.
16. Make appointments - It is a strange thing. I'm not scared of the dentist, I don't shudder at needles, and I can't say I am that bothered by wasting time in a stale waiting room reading an old Ladies Home Journal. What I am is a procrastinator. The type who doesn't make a dentist appointment until half her tooth breaks off because the temporary filling on the root canal she had seven months ago finally gives out. True Story. So, let 2013 be the year I make regular check up appointments for no other reason than keeping up with keeping my health.
17. Eat more Fruits and Vegetables - Wait, how many servings a day are you supposed to have? Does pizza count? What about cold pizza? I'm thinking an easy way to start is to never leave home in the morning without a small container of grapes, carrot sticks, apple pieces, etc for snacks during the workday.
Check out my DIY Bistro Boxes.
18. Wake up earlier - I sleep until the last possible second and then rush to get ready for work without time to even sit down. The sad part is I am not even sleeping that last hour. Just shutting my eyes and curling up tight to avoid getting up. If I can find a way to give myself an extra half hour at least a couple times a week I think I'll be a happier camper.
Adventures in DIY and Home Ownership
We have begun looking at tile options and Bob is working up a model of the bathroom via SketchUp.
20. Pinterest Projects - use the knowledge base and take on at least one new project a month based on the wonderful pins that make the world go round. Last year I made a rug and a project table. What will I find this year?
Check out: Christmas Tags (a little ahead of the season), Tomato Soup Mac & Cheese, an Easter Centerpiece, Cork Trivets
21. The Entryway - A small area, but with three potential additions: 1) hooks along the wall for coats and scarves. 2) a bench for putting on our dancin' shoes before heading out the door. 3) a small table with an option to collect our junk mail, keys and such.
The church pew is here!
22. Learn how to sew - the sewing machine Bob's mom got us for Christmas a couple years ago sits forlornly in my Project Table shelves. But, come March, my Aunt Christine will be heading down for ScrapFest 2013 (check out the 2012 festivities when my crafty aunt, sister and I all get together) and she's going to impart some knowledge.
23. Do something with all those Yarn Balls - I have 150 from our wedding centerpieces. So far I have used 1 to create a cute felt owl. Now I have 149. All ideas are welcome.
24. Pillows, pillows everywhere - It is a sad home indeed when you don't love any of your pillows. The couch pillows are flat and boring (and once so new and bright in this post!). Our bed pillows misshapen and unsupportive. It's time to upgrade.
25. The Laundry Room - like the Second Bathroom, this one takes a bit of doing. Our laundry room is less a room, and more a "large closet" but the walls go vertical forever so visions of a stacked washer and dryer and shelving as high as the eye can see for additional storage has had our wheels turning for quite some time. And, of course, we'll keep it classy with the cat litter box.
26. Build a hamper - this sort of goes along with the Laundry Room re-do, but our current method for collecting dirty clothes is by shoving a laundry basket in the corner of our bathroom. The cats have adopted this as their new bed. The idea is to use all of the wasted space against our bathroom wall and create an enclosed hamper with additional storage.
Professional and Personal Development
27. Start driving in the city - Okay, so you can drive to your sister's house in the suburbs. That don't impress me much! Yeah, yeah Shania - I hear what you're saying. It's time to get over the fear and start tackling city driving (=one way streets, parallel parking and crazy Chicago cab drivers!)
29. Donate to 3 charities/fundraising activities - Lets help some people out in the things they are fighting for, or fighting against.
Supported Global Explorers Kids by going to a benefit fundraiser on a recent Friday night with friends.
30. Get better about birthdays - I'm not sure what happened. I used to be the one who always remembered a card, sent a gift at least a couple days in advance or generally kept your big day on my mind.
31. Finish scrapbooks - I have kept scrapbook photo albums since freshman year of college (and scrapbooks in general since kindergarten) so it is a bit shameful that I haven't made my wedding scrapbook yet, let alone added any photos to the books since Christmas 2011. Yikes.
Almost done with the wedding book - but Michaels was out of the photo corners I like. Wah wah!
32. 80 blog posts - I have had a lackluster year in the post department - hopefully I can commit myself to at least a post a week and sometimes more to help keep the momentum up!
Money Matters
33. Have at least 2 "no-spend" weekends - I wrote about one of these a long time ago in this post. I came close last weekend, but we had a quick run to Whole Foods which bumped us up to $30. It is amazing the dent it helps take out of our credit card bill when we decide against a drive to the suburbs for the day which results in going out for lunch, hitting up the stores, etc.
Almost made one of these work...and then I went to Benetton Friday after work and spent $100. Still on the list...
34. Achieve money goals - Bob and I set up a somewhat lofty savings goal for our first two years of marriage (you know, to prepare for....well, whatever might come next after love and marriage!) Let's stick with it Kamicars!
3/17 - 2 sold!
36. Donate at least 1 bag of clothes - I think I do a good job regularly purging my closet, so keep it up. Bonus: this means more room for new clothes that you like to wear!

I've spent the last couple of years working in an environment where the phrase minimum viable product (MVP) was tossed around a lot, mostly in order to push a launch date up. I'll admit to some guilt: I actually introduced the concept when I introduced an Agile approach to getting things done, but the thing about building an MVP is that you need to be clear that you're still meeting the needs of the business: it's not just a random concept designed to let you shorten a deadline.
Properly used, it's a real tactic for delivering a quality product. Improperly used, it's a ticket to long term failure.

Main Line Real Estate
Questions and Answers
1. How do you establish an ideal selling price?
Robin: "The key to selling your home is to price it within a range that attracts offers. It's not an exact science, but the more you know about the local market, the better you can set your price. That's why analyzing recent comparable home sales is crucial in helping my clients make more informed decisions."
2. Do your personal and professional networks make you a more effective realtor?
Robin: "Absolutely: As a lifelong Main Line resident, and graduate of Friends Central and Penn, I'm close with many lawyers, accountants, doctors, mortgage and title specialists and executives. When they hear a potential new listing they call me. So my clients are among the first to see it. I'm constantly in touch with active buyers and sellers, so I can bring offers to the table quickly."
3. Has the web changed the buying and selling of homes?
Robin: "My professional clients use online resources extensively to help them accomplish more, faster. Similarly, an effective real estate web site can help buyers and sellers to research the local market or accelerate a home search."
4. How important is finding the right realtor?
Robin: "If you've ever worked with an agent who wasted your time showing you the wrong homes, or who provided little or poor advice on issues of strategy and pricing, you know the answer. Yet most people choose realtors without assessing their qualifications. The end result: sellers may not get the best price. A knowledgeable agent makes your priorities her top priority. My job is to save you time, reduce anxiety, smooth over rough spots, and deliver the best possible outcome."
5. Your clients are impressed by the technology you use to alert you when newhomes hit the market. Tell us more.
Robin: "A good realtor is always searching for what her buyers want - especially in a seller's market. And new technologies help me do just that. With my wireless internet connections, pager, cell phone and 800#, I can stay mobile while keeping in touch with the listings services, my network and my clients. I work hard to ensure that my buyers see the prime listings first."
6. What should I look for in a realtor?
Robin: "Find a realtor who listens carefully, asks insightful questions, and will work tirelessly to find your perfect home. Realtors should never pressure. I will show my clients as many homes as they wish until they find the one that feels right. It's not just 'house hunting', With each showing, a smart realtor learns more about your preferences, while expanding your knowledge of the market so that you can make a more informed choice.
7. What support should a seller expect from a realtor?
Robin: "Some agents think their job ends when they place a "For Sale" sign on the front lawn and host an open house. But a savvy marketer uses dozens of sales tools and techniques to increase calls and drive traffic. If a realtor can't speed your sale and help you secure the best price, find a better realtor.""Personal integrity is also vitally important, because you'll need to share very personal information with your realtor - income, family issues, business issues.Look for an agent with a reputation for ethical and honest practices, someone you can trust to keep your confidences."
8. How do your clients respond to your own marketing efforts?
Robin: "The response to the free Special Reports has been very positive. I receive alot of calls and e-mails thanking me for the information. Other clients report that my web site has been a big time-saver. They just fill in what they're looking for, and I get back to them with current listings that fit their description. And quite a few clients have told me that my own marketing efforts - the ads, direct mail, web site and toll-free hotline - convinced them I would be the best person to sell their property."

Clinic students interview and counsel consumers, as effectively as prepare declarations, legal briefs and supporting exhibits in their representation of clientele before the US Citizenship and Immigration Service. At present, no single agency or bureau develops immigration policy, coordinates the function, and assesses the effectiveness of a variety of federal agencies in performing their immigration functions.

Deportations of immigrants, which are also referred to as removals, may be issued when immigrants are identified to be in violation of US immigration laws.

Going on holiday to Fuerteventura ?
We have installed many cat cafés on the island to enable the cats to be fed and monitored but we don't have enough volunteers to provide food to every cafe each day, so some are reliant on the holiday makers kindness.
If you are going to Fuerteventura for your holiday would you be prepared to look after a café while you are there? It would mean cleaning the cafe each day and keeping the food and water dishes topped up.
We would supply you with the cat food after you have arrived in Fuerteventura.
Cat Café
Be Our Eyes & Ears !
As part of our policy we remove the tip of the left ear on all the cats we sterilise, this is done while the cats are under anaesthetic and causes no pain or discomfort to the cat. We have to do this to avoid catching them again and again, which would cause them unnecessary stress & trauma.
It always helps us to know how the homeless cats are doing, so any information you could provide us with would be useful. If you notice any sick or injured cats or cats that have not been sterilised (these will still have both ear tips) please let us know. We need details like:
We will do our best to follow up on the information you give us.
We are always looking for volunteers, here are just a few of the things we need.
Foster homes - we have many cats that need a safe and caring environment while they are getting better or waiting for a new home. How long it needs to be fostered for depends on its health and rehoming needs. We would provide all the equipment needed and cover all the expenses including vet bills.
Cat Cafés - Could you spare sometime each week to help us clean & provide food at a cat café. Even just 1 hour a week would make all the difference to the cats.
Market Stall - We would love to have a weekly or monthly stall in one of the local markets but need someone willing to help with this. This would be a good opportunity for us to promote the needs of the local strays and the work we do, plus hopefully it could raise a little in donations. If you have a car and some spare time, please get in touch with us.
Picking up a sick or injured cat - Would you be able to go out and catch (or pick up, if friendly) a sick or injured cat. When we get a call about a cat in need of the vets it can be heartbreaking if we don't have anyone able to do it. We need help from people that have a car and would be prepared to do this.
Accommodation needed!
Do you have an apartment, house or villa we could use for 1 week during one of our bi-annual campaigns. We need accommodation for the volunteer veterinary team.
Contact Jenny at email@example.com or
tel: 0044-(0)7958-990471
Things you can do to help the cats while you are on holiday.
The feral cats have a different diet to the domestic cats and therefore need to be fed in a different way.

Older men with higher levels of fat appear more likely to experience declines in cognitive function over seven years, but the same association does not appear to occur in older women. Alka M. Kanaya, M.D., of the University of California-San Francisco, and colleagues studied 3,054 elderly individuals enrolled in the Health ABC Study.
Participants' adiposity (fat level) was assessed by body mass index, waist circumference, sagittal diameter (distance between the back and the highest point of the abdomen), total fat mass and subcutaneous (beneath the skin) and visceral fat (fat between the internal organs) measured by computed tomography. Men whose measurements were higher were more likely to experience declines in scores on a cognitive functioning test administered at the beginning of the study and again after three, five and eight years. However, no association was observed in women.

Meeting discusses look of Omaha in 2050
It is Heartland 2050's mission to find out what residents in eight Nebraska and Iowa counties think the metro should look like decades from now with double the population.
The group asked for input on how best to develop the Heartland at Lewis and Clark Middle School on Thursday. Some said mass transportation on Dodge Street in Midtown where there is a lot of traffic while some talked about bus, rapid transit or a streetcar.
"It's very easy to get discouraged with public transit if an individual even gets to the point of even trying it," one person said.
-- Video: What will Omaha look like in 2050?
North Omaha already has a master plan -- the North Omaha Village -- which was approved unanimously by the City Council and Omaha Planning Board. Thursday's meeting was to discuss how to connect other parts of the city.
"A trail to connect into north Omaha and continue on into Florence. Right now, I think it's kind of chopped up," one person said.
John Fregonese, president of Fregonese & Associates, said input is the key factor to what the Heartland's future will be.
"If you have a vision of where you want to go and you keep taking one step after the other, implementing it, you eventually get to a pretty good place. It's not exactly where you thought you were going to go, but it's close enough and it's something that's better than wandering around without a vision," he said.
Heartland 2050 will compile all the data into several different scenarios and get more input at meetings in April followed by a regional town hall next fall to solidify the plan.

I'm such a little kid at heart. I throw a Halloween party every year. Halloween has always been one of my favourite holidays and once it's over you're properly into the run-up for Christmas, so it's a nice way to mark the very end of the summer.
This year I'm very excited: we're having a Harry Potter themed party. All the guests have been assigned with a character so that we don't get duplicates (adults being the adult characters and the kids getting to be the children) and I can't wait! I've already made the invitations (above) as versions of Harry's Marauder's Map and I'll do a separate post showing exactly how I did those probably on Monday…
Our Halloween party is always the very last barbecue of the year, whatever the weather. The men all get out in the garden there in their oh-so-flamable fancy dress costumes pouring lighter fluid on the coals and cooking by torchlight (I love a bit of danger).
This makes the food for the Harry Potter party much easier, everyone loves chicken, burgers or sausages, so I'm not going to worry about making that Harry Potter-fied, and it does mean I can go to town with the puddings.
After pouring over the Harry Potter books, and doing some research on the internet these are some of the things I fancy trying:
- Berty Bott's Every Flavour Beans: (Jelly beans re-packaged – I might put these into party bags rather than the kids going TOO suger-crazed during the party)
- Pumpkin Pasties: I have no idea how to make these. I'm thinking of a sweet pumpkin-pie type mixture inside sweet pasties, but I've never even had pumpkin pie, so I'm going to have to get Googling to recipes for that I think!
- Chocolate Frogs: sounds pretty easy – I thought I might make these myself if I can find some frog moulds and mix popping candy in with the chocolate. Is there a trick to this though? Does the popping candy dissolve when mixed with the melted chocolate…? I guess I'll find out!
- Butter Beer: I thought I might make a concoction of something like cream soda and ginger ale for this.
- Chocolate Wands: Chocolate pretzel sticks dipped in chocolate with sprinkles or glitter
What do you think? Do you have any other suggestions? I though about making Cockroach Clusters, but I'm not sure how I'd do these yet… Any suggestions would be gratefully received!

Bike Who?
So, who is BikeSkirt?
As soon as Elisa pushed the pedals after a too long break from riding, she knew life would never be the same. You know how sometimes you find something that feels just so right…like you were born for it? Riding a bike feels that way to this somewhat clumsy, long legged, wild child. The daughter of 2 wandering, former hippy parents, Elisa grew up on the back of a motorcycle, was denied TV and video games, but read like a fiend and was constantly being told to "get your butt outside". She now has to be forced inside, still eschewing TV for epic rides and good conversation. Elisa is a lover of tattoos, tea, Vans (the shoes), skirts, beautiful bikes, climbing hills and finishing each ride with a good meal. She also loves hanging with the boys, but needs to ride with the girls sometimes to stay sane.
In addition to being a bike commuter, Elisa is also a reader, writer,
Cheap Woman (www.cheapwomen.org) artist, friend, sister, aunt and daughter. She is currently figuring out how to make money doing what she loves and trying to helping to run a Bike Co op in her spare time. Still not sure where life will take her, she is certain she will get there on the saddle of her bike (currently a vintage Bottechia named Freddie Mercury).
you can contact Elisa at firstname.lastname@example.com
Like most folks, Anna learned to ride a bike at a young age and enjoyed countless summer days traversing the neighborhood in search of adventure. However, as years passed and other interests came and went, the bicycle took a far less prominent role in her life. That all changed one day when she ran across a tired old mountain bike and realized that commuting the short distance to work would be far more enjoyable if traveled on this two wheeled steed. After a few years of riding on and off, she was ready to commit and bought a bike of her own. It was a magical moment, and she hasn't looked back since.
Besides being a bike rider (she currently rides a Lemond tourlamet and a Peugeot Isrean fixed gear), Anna considers herself a Bici member, reader, traveler, community member, tea partier (not politically! she loves actual tea parties!), musician, life long learner, npr lover, scientist, maniac…

(L-R) : Mr Micheal Luguje – Secretary General, PMAWCA; Mr Hassan Bello – Executive Secretary/CEO of Nigerian Shippers Council; Dr.Affail Monney – President Ghana Journalists Association; Mr Magnus Addico – former Secretary General of MOWCA; Dr.Moane Baomah – Honourable Minister of Communications; Mr Selby Twumasi-Ankra – Chief Director, Ministry of Transport; Mr Wale Adeniyi, National Public Relations Office of the Nigeria Customs Service; Mr. NiiNikoi Amasa of Ghana Ports and Harbours Authority; and Mr Ignatius Nweke of Nigerian Shippers Council.
African maritime journalists have been enjoined to embrace activism and support efforts to bring down high shipping cost, clearance time, corruption and other challenges plaguing the maritime industry in Africa.
Ghana's Deputy Minister of Transport, Mrs Joyce Bawah Mogtari, gave the charge in her keynote address titled "Maritime Media As Vessel For Africa's Economic Transformation", at the inaugural Africa Maritime Journalists Conference (AMJOC), held 29 and 30 January 2016, in Accra.
The Deputy Minister speaking as the Special Guest of Honour, described the maritime subsector "as the best path to the connectivity of Africa's economies. The benefits therefrom have to be effectively communicated. Good communications is therefore essential, but unlike the developed economies, the maritime sub-sector in Africa has been grossly under-reported. Yet, when measures or goals are not properly communicated, or the right information not available, the outcome is poor", she said.
Mrs Mogtari, represented by Mr Selby Twumasi-Ankra, the Chief Director of her Ministry, called on Africa countries to connect their economies in order to bring development faster to the continent.
"We must connect our economies, our port systems and customs administrations in order to bring down transportation cost, enhance standardized procedures and make our economies very competitive. The attainment of this goal demands effective coordination and communication. This is why the buy-in of the media is critical', she explained.
The conference with the theme "Building Effective Communication Infrastructure for Africa's Blue Economy" attracted very senior as well as young maritime journalists, aside a rich array of industry operators and professionals, academicians, non-governmental and civil society groups.
Goodwill messages were delivered by the Honourable Minister of Communications, Dr.Moane Boamah and President of Ghana Journalists Association, Dr. Affail Monney.
Speakers include Mr. Magnus Teye Addico, former Secretary General of the Maritime Organization for West and Central Africa (MOWCA); Mr. Hassan Bello – Executive Secretary/CEO of the Nigerian Shippers Council; and Mr. Micheal Luguje – Secretary General of the Ports Management Association of West and Central Africa (PMAWCA).
Others are Mr Richard Anamoo – Director General of Ghana Ports and Habours Authority (GPHA) represented by Mr NiiNikoi Amasa; Mr Wale Adeniyi – Deputy Comptroller of Customs and National Public Relations Officer of the Nigeria Customs Service; Capt William Amanhyia - Executive Secretary of Ghana Institute of Freight Forwarders; Mr Abraham Mensah – General Manager, Operations at GPHA; Vice Chancellor of the Regional Maritime University, represented by Capt William Wricketts – Head, Maritime Safety Department; and Mr Ignatius Nweke – Deputy Director, Public Affairs at the Nigerian Shippers Council.
Delegates at the conference adopted the following resolutions:
§ African countries should embrace well thought-out policies and provide the enabling environment through effective and growth oriented legislations and incentives that will lead to a win-win outcome for the country and investors.
§ African countries are enjoined to take steps to delimit their maritime boundaries, to avoid unnecessary territorial disputes in the future.
§ State and non-state agencies in the maritime industry should embrace a collaborative approach to resolving common challenges in the sector. A co-coordinating structure or platform that promotes synergy for improved productivity and efficiency should be put in place.
§ The media should appreciate the socio-cultural issues arising from the activities related to the marine environment and not just the economic benefits.
§ Maritime journalists and content owners should exhibit high ethical standard and professionalism in the conduct of their affairs, to endear them to other stakeholders and the society at large.
§ Maritime media practitioners should raise awareness and get those in authority to appreciate and give quality attention to the maritime industry.
§ African maritime journalists should come together and leverage on their collective strength, so as to influence developments and policies in the sector.
§ The maritime media should support efforts to bring down high transit cost, clearance time, corruption and other challenges plaguing the maritime industry in Africa.
§ Recent advances in the digital media should be embraced by maritime journalists to improve the quality and content of their reportage.
§ Maritime agencies and corporate entities should invest in the training and retraining of maritime media practitioners, to build their capacity and enhance their ability to report the industry better.
§ The Africa Maritime Journalists Conference (AMJOC) should facilitate the establishment of a continent-wide association, as a mother body for maritime media practitioners in Africa, which would promote professionalism and members' welfare among other responsibilities.
§ Maritime media in Africa should promote gender based issues and support the female gender in a male dominated industry.
The Nigerian Shippers Council (NSC), Westblue Consulting Limited, Ghana Ports and Habours Authority (GPHA), Global Cargo and Commodities (Ghana) Limited and West Coast Business Support Services were honoured for their contribution to the successful hosting of the conference.

Yes, we have finally gotten to the Grand Final of the Supreme Scrap Tournament.
In my previous post I said that the Final is consisted of 2 phases.
Phase 1 is already described there.
So here I am today with my layout for Phase 2.
Before you see it, let's take a look at what we were asked to do.
Layout size:
two pages of 30,4cm x 30,4 cm
This is me!
Number of photo's:
Minimum of 4 differents photos in total
You must use:
* Title: This is me!
* All the objects that you choose in step 1 must be used on the project, no other embellishments are allowed!
* All the sheets that you choose in step 1 must be used on the project, no other paper is allowed!
(at least half of each sheet you choose needs to be used by you!)
You may use:* White gesso only, as long (part of) the objects and paper are visible
* All techniques that you like (but no ink and paints and so on!)
* Selfmade embellishments made out of your objects and/or papers* A pen or marker for a journaling (max 20 words) - you dont have to do a journaling!
* glue, 3d tape, gluedots
You can not use:* No other embellishments then the ones you choose in step 1
* No other papers then the ones you choose in step 1
* No ink, paint and so on
* No stickers, thickers, rubonons
* No glitter glue and so on
BANG! No inks and paints again. No other embellishments. No favourite techniques. Just trash and some gesso. Yep, another tough one.
Anyway, after having completed all the previous challenges, I couldn't leave without trying at least. So I used ALL THE TRASH I collected and nothing else. Since we were not allowed to use inks and paints, I had to think of something to do with my paper stuff. So I pulled out my favourite punches and embellished the edges of my papers by punching them!
2. 2 pieces of gauze from gift wrapping
3. 2 pieces of old books (text and music)
4. packagine string
5. some dried starfish (that my kids had collected from the sea shore)

9. a receipt
10. old fabric fibres
11. 2 wooden furniture pegs
12. a piece of a cardboard box
13. a boarding pass
14. a broken paintbrush
P2. 7 Dots Messy Head Collection - Love letter (the background papers)
P3. 7 Dots Messy Head Collection - News flash (half of it, under the cluster, punched)

Brainstorming about user generated content / video contest:
Haunted by the Housing Market
The Real Estate Cafe has maintained an excel spreadsheet comparing
housing market conditions from 2000 to 2007. The original version was
prepared for Halloween 2002, and resulted in a slideshow called,
"Haunted by the Housing Market."
As Halloween approaches this year, and NPR reported yesterday that Wall Street was "spooked
by a sharp drop in housing prices," we are thinking about sharing the
spreadsheet and inviting others to update the "Haunted by the Housing
Market" slideshow.
Better yet, what would it take to create a contest with different categories for user-generated content, like "Funniest Housing Bubble Video," "Best slideshow attached to an offer" (samples available),
etc.? We're open to putting our content on the web so others can
"mash-up" images, statistics, quotes (both audio and text), etc.
Any good models and potential sponsors out there?
Cross-post: "Haunted by the Housing Market" originally mentioned as comment in this blog post:
Wait 2.0: Negative cycle creating marginal or mega-savings for patient homebuyers?
Use the following quotes to launch "Haunted by the Housing Market."
NPR: The closely watched S&P Case-Schiller housing index earlier this week spooked Wall Street when it showed a sharp drop in home prices — down more than 3 percent in the second quarter alone.
Karl Case, a housing economist who helped develop the 20-year-old index, says it's the largest price decline since the inception of the index.
Economists expect total declines of about 10 percent throughout many parts of the country — and up to 25 percent in some of the formerly hottest markets.

It's Rare, but Addiction Can Happen By Buddy T facebook twitter Buddy T is an anonymous writer and founding member of the Online Al-Anon Outreach Committee with decades of experience writing about alcoholism. Learn about our editorial policy Buddy T Medically reviewed by Medically reviewed by Steven Gans, MD on January 06, 2017 Steven Gans, MD is board-certified in psychiatry and is an active supervisor, teacher, and mentor at Massachusetts General Hospital. Learn about our Medical Review Board Steven Gans, MD Updated on June 24, 2019 Medioimages/Photodisc Collection/Photodisc/Getty Images More in Addiction Drug Use Marijuana Cocaine Heroin Meth Ecstasy/MDMA Hallucinogens Opioids Prescription Medications Alcohol Use Addictive Behaviors Nicotine Use Coping and Recovery The majority of pot smokers do not develop a marijuana addiction, but some smokers do develop all the symptoms of an actual addiction after chronic marijuana use. Most marijuana users never come close to being addicted to weed. They do not lose control of its use; they generally use the amount they want to use and when they want to use it. When they use marijuana, they get the exact results they expect and intend to get. Marijuana Addiction The fact that most users never develop an addiction doesn't mean that it never happens. Some marijuana users will exhibit all the classic behaviors of someone who has an addiction. Prevalence The National Institute on Drug Abuse previously reported that about 1 in 7 marijuana users would develop problematic use with the drug. Now the agency is reporting that 30 percent of marijuana users will develop problems with its use, known as marijuana use disorder. Users who begin smoking marijuana before they reach the age of 18 and 4 to 7 more likely to develop a disorder compared with those who wait until after 18 to smoke, according to the NIDA. Marijuana Addiction: What You Need to Know Higher Potency Factor The NIDA also reports that the higher potency of marijuana available today may be another factor in the rising number of people who develop a problem. Marijuana confiscated by law enforcement today contains an average of 9.6% of THC compared to 3.7% in weed confiscated in the 1990s. Marijuana that is consumed in products that are made from marijuana extract can contain from 50% to 80% THC. Researchers are investigating if higher potency is the reason for an increase in emergency department visits by people testing positive for marijuana. Marijuana Abuse v. Dependence There is a difference between marijuana abuse and marijuana dependence. Marijuana abuse occurs when someone continues to use the drug despite negative consequences, such as losing a job, poor academic performance or getting arrested. Just as with other drug use disorders, people who continue to use marijuana in spite of continued negative consequences, by definition, have a marijuana use disorder. But, is it an addiction? Classic Addictive Behavior Someone who becomes addicted or dependent upon marijuana is also an abuser, but will also display some of the classic behavioral symptoms of addiction: Will begin to lose control, needing increasing larger amountsWill spend more time thinking about usingWill deny claims from those close to him that he has changedSubstance use will begin to take a central role in lifeWill spend more time and money acquiring more marijuanaWill become irritable or agitated if they run outAs negative consequences mount, they will continue to use What Are the Signs and Symptoms of Addiction? Physical Dependence Most experts agree that dependence on a substance is accompanied by a build-up of tolerance to that substance, requiring increasing larger amounts, and withdrawal symptoms when someone stops using the substance. Most marijuana smokers do not experience either tolerance or withdrawal. Most early research into marijuana addiction revealed that marijuana use rarely produced tolerance and withdrawal. But the marijuana that is available today is more powerful than the marijuana of the 1960s, containing higher levels of the active ingredient THC. Withdrawal Symptoms Today's research shows that tolerance does develop to THC and that withdrawal symptoms do occur in some users. Studies of chronic marijuana users who quit smoking show that some experience these withdrawal symptoms: Anxiety and insomniaLoss of appetiteExcessive salivationDecreased pulseIrritabilityIncreased mood swingsIncrease in aggressive behavior Researchers believe that because today's pot is much more potent it makes it more likely to develop physiologic dependence in some users. Even if not physically or chemically dependent on marijuana, some users will at the very least develop a psychological dependence upon the drug. Seeking Treatment Whether marijuana has become more addictive or not, the number of people seeking treatment for marijuana abuse has increased significantly. According to studies, the number of children and teenagers in treatment for marijuana dependence and abuse has increased by 142% since 1992. As with most substances of abuse, people who abuse marijuana usually decide to seek help when their use of the drug becomes painful due to increasing negative consequences. Many who seek treatment for marijuana do so due to pressure from family, friends, schools, employers or the criminal justice system. How Effective Is Drug Treatment? Was this page helpful?

East Hartford Mayor Melody Currey, who criticized the state Department of Motor Vehicles for its inability to suspend or revoke a troubled driver's license, will run the department.
Governor-elect Dan Malloy said on Thursday he chose her to lead the DMV.
Early this year, Currey spoke critically of the DMV when a driver in East Hartford was able to remain on the road after at least 10 convictions, the Hartford Courant reported.
In June, she and several other officials expressed frustration over state statutes that DMV officials said did not allow the department to revoke or suspend the driver's license.
Currey said on Thursday \that this one once case she plans to look at right away. She is already working with lawmakers to change the law that sets what the DMV can and cannot do.
She also plans to improve customer service.
"I will make sure the customer is taken care of. I will make the DMV more consumer-friendly in (the) community and at home," Currey said on Thursday.
This includes moving services to the Internet.
"We've all been to the DMV, and more than likely, we've all left the DMV with some ideas about the ways in which it could be made more efficient," Currey said in a statement. "These are exactly the ideas I want to hear. Governor-Elect Malloy has put a premium on reducing waste, duplication, and trimming our spending wherever possible. The DMV is a prime place to find those savings and I look forward to working with the staff there to get our ideas together."
Currey said one the biggest changes for her will be to find ways to save money.
Malloy apologized for taking East Hartford's mayor, but said Currey is a perfect fit for the job.
Currey was a state representative through 2005 and then became mayor of East Hartford.

The time has come, once again, for an artists life to leave the canvas and fly onto the silver screen. This time its Frida Kahlos turn, one of the most celebrated and powerful female artists of the 20th century. For eight years, Salma Hayek put her life into this project, making it her mission to bring her childhood heros life to the screen. After a few false starts with the film, Hayek, along with director Julie Taymor, successfully captured the essence of Kahlos life, and brought to the screen an all-star cast, fantastic visual elements and a well-rounded big-name crew to create one of the most historically accurate bio-pics ever created.
Each of Kahlos key trials and tribulations are successfully placed in sequence in this film, capturing her spirit and personality. The highly-refined screenplay by Clancy Sigal and Diane Lake, with a final draft by Edward Norton, ties in 30 years of Kahlos life with reasonable success. Mind you, a solid understanding of Kahlos life and work is beneficial as many minor aspects are skimmed over or just brushed on, such as the more complex, problematic relationship between Diego and Frida. With thanks to year 11 art, this reviewer entered into this with a solid knowledge of Kahlos life, and a study of her work reveals a lot about her personality, character, life and symbolism, giving a wider understanding of Kahlo, her art and her life, something that this film assumes.
The most visually stunning segments of the film are where Taymor, along with DP Rodrigo Prieto, successfully combine Kahlos stunning artworks with real footage, like a picture coming to life. Performances from all the cast members are amazing, led by a sincere and powerful Hayek.
As Hayek discusses, this film wouldnt be anywhere near as impressive without the imaginative input from director Taymor, who brought so much life and enthusiasm to the project without compromising Hayeks own goals. Along with these two strong female leads in the project comes an equally talented cast, including Alfred Molina as Diego Rivera and cameos from Ashley Judd, Edward Norton, Geoffrey Rush and Antonio Banderas.
This next part is a summary of Kahlos life and the basis of the film, so be advised that if you would prefer not to know more just skip through to the end of this section of the review...
Frida Kahlo was born on July 6 1907 to a Mexican Catholic mother and a German atheist father. When she was only five years old she suffered from the effects of polio, which caused her great pain throughout her maturing years. The film picks up in 1922, when Kahlo is 16, and quickly introduces her to a muralist, Diego Rivera. When Kahlo was 18, she was involved in a trolley car accident, where she was skewered through from the back through the vagina, leaving her with a large scar and a whole lot of pain, as well as a fractured pelvis, dislocated shoulder and a spine fractured in three places. After spending weeks in a body cast, Kahlo started to paint from her bed, with a mirror placed above her lying position and a canvas straddled over her legs. With opinion being that she would never walk again, Kahlo stunned everyone around her when she took her first steps and started to live a full life.
Her first port of call was to see Rivera to show him examples of her work, to see if she had a future as an artist, and this is where the relationship between the two began to blossom. This toad, as it were said, was twice Kahlos age, but the two shared common beliefs on their Communism and life. However, Riveras inability to commit caused Kahlo an incredible amount of emotional pain when the two married. Their love blossomed, however this infidelity scarred Kahlo, but her strong and determined personality led, never faulting, and she stuck by her husband with power. After he received a grant to paint a mural in the Rockefeller Centre in New York, the couple moved to the Big Apple where Kahlo explored her own bisexuality while her husband painted away. Kahlos love of the Mexican life, however, caused her to paint immensely surreal self portraits, some of her best work, such as The Suicide of Dorothy Hale. During her travelling time, Kahlo suffered several miscarriages, all leaving her emotionally drained, and these events are captured in several of Kahlos pieces.
Upon returning to Mexico, the pair separated after Riveras hands wandered to the body of Cristina, Fridas sister. During this difficult time, Kahlos strongly detailed autobiographical works raked in little money, and she was not recognised as having the same talent as her male peers. Regardless, Kahlo and Rivera separated in 1939, only to remarry one year later due to their strong connections and feelings for each other. The above quote captures Kahlos feelings about her husband, and this can be seen in one of Kahlos most known pieces, The Two Fridas.
Rivera and Kahlos Communist background was shot forward when the pair housed the exiled Leon Trotsky and his wife in Mexico, where Kahlo continued to explore her sexuality with this political figure. Kahlos dream since she became an artist was to have an exhibition in her own country, a dream fulfilled after a brief stint in Paris. Bedridden after her gangrenous toes were removed, Kahlo attended this exhibition as her last within the (relative) comfort of her own bed. In June 1954, Kahlo passed away after several failed suicide attempts, but her legacy still lives on today, nearly 50 years after her death, in the form of her self-expressive, powerful and richly detailed artworks, capturing the essence of her strong personality, life-long pain and beliefs.
Nominated for six Academy Awards and numerous other accolades, Frida has captured audiences all around the world with an authentic, realistic and faithful representation of this great artists life.
So where to start? Well lets keep it simple, and sum up this transfer in one word - fantastic. This transfer shows how vibrant and stunning a DVD can look, with no visual nasties, with Disc 1 identical to the earlier rental version.
The video is presented in Fridas original theatrical aspect of 1.85:1, and is anamorphically enhanced. From the very opening scene you know that you are in for a treat of beautiful eye candy. Colour correction was applied throughout the film to enhance and exacerbate the mood and feeling of various scenes. Each and every colour is mastered with vibrancy and precision that just leaps off the screen with life and vivacity. Blacks are incredibly deep, offering no sign of low level noise, and shadow detail is, to put it no other way, defining, and gives such a bold and distinct look. Skin tones are peachy and lifelike, another sign pointing out the luminosity and effervescence of the transfer.
At times some slight telecine wobble can be seen, but this is just faintly evident on some static and lengthy scenes. Some slight aliasing and digital noise reduction can be seen on the edges of an object here or there, which jaggedly cuts up the beauty of the image. Posterisation effects are kept to an absolute minimum and some slight blocking effects can be seen on the walls of some of the opening scenes, but these are so faint and insignificant that it is just this reviewers pedantic nature that mentions these. Film artefacts are few and far between, with two large white spots being the noticeable specks in the opening few seconds of the film.
At some moments throughout the film, some slight edge enhancement can be seen, which gives the image a very sharp and layered look. The clarity of the image is fine and detailed, with every intricate feature mastered with accuracy. At times, some slightly soft scenes fly past, but as discussed during the commentary, its an artistic effect rather than a mastering fault. A few cases of slight moire slip through too, but keep your eyes peeled if you want to see it.
The video transfer is subtitled with English, German and Italian options, as well as English for the Hearing Impaired. The English titles are clear, but edited severely during some scenes which can get distracting. But hey, these few small issues may stop this transfer from being perfect, but its only a small stones throw away.
Five audio tracks have been included, with three Dolby Digital 5.1 mixes offering language options of English, Italian and German. The remaining two tracks are English 2.0 commentary options, but well discuss those later.
Being a dialogue-driven film, the speech is of the utmost importance, and comes clearly from the centre speaker. No synch issues were spotted, and the fidelity of the audio is spot on. However, being shot in English as opposed to the native Spanish of the characters, some accents are thick and heavy and may require the use of subtitles if youre not in the most alert frame of mind.
Surround channels are used effectively to carry Elliot Goldenthals Academy Award-winning score, with loads of discrete effects building up a broad 5.1 soundstage. The front end gets an equal workout during these moments, with effects and ambience flooding the soundstage. So while dialogue is a bit sketchy here and there, in all this track does give a fantastic 5.1 rendition.
Fridas 16:9 enhanced animated menus are clear and simple, but effective with their bold impression. From the main menu, the final option is the extra features page where we can see our short list of bonuses.
Disc 1:
First up is a 38 minute Conversation with Salma Hayek, which is a welcome addition to Hayeks pet project. This is an informative 4:3 conversation, however given its length youd expect a lot more. Some on-screen questions may have been nice too, letting the audience know what she is on about.
Next up is the first of two audio commentaries, by director Julie Taymor. This commentary is great, as she explains trivial, technical and important details throughout the film scene by scene with enthusiasm and purpose. A few silent moments slink past, but generally Taymor has plenty to say. The second of the commentaries is by Taymors real-life partner Elliot Goldenthal, the composer for Frida. This scene specific commentary is informative with regards to the music of Frida.
Disc 2:
This where the bulk of the treasure lies, with a large collection of highly informative interviews and featurettes. Up first are four more interviews, AFI Q&A With Julie Taymor (30:03), Bill Moyers Interview with Julie Taymor (19:18), Chavela Vargas Interview (15:43) and The Voice of Lila Downs (5:21). Running for just over an hour, these interview featurettes are a great addition to the quality of the information provided on disc one, expanding upon the general making of the film, voicing Taymors opinions and reactions to the production, and a look at the musical side interviewing one of Fridas lovers Chavela Vergas as well as Lila Downs, one of the live performers from the film. These interviews provide great insight into specific aspects of the film, and are a real treat rather than the cash-for-comments promo-style clips on other DVDs.
Accompanying these superb interviews is a large collection of featurettes. The Vision of Frida: with Rodrigo Prieto and Julie Taymor (6:08), The Design of Frida: with Felipe Fernandez (2:27) and Bringing Frida Kahlo's Life and Art to Film: A Walk Through the Reel Locations (5:20) take a look at the production of the film from the director of photography, production designer and the overall look and feel of the film and bringing Frida Kahlos detailed vividly works to life. The Music of Frida: with Elliot Goldenthal and Salma Hayek (4:55) and Salma's Recording Session (2:37) have more of a look at the music in Frida, examining at the style of the music as well as the recording of La Bruja by Salma Hayek, one recording that really surprised Taymor and Goldenthal.
"Amoeba Proteus" Visual FX Piece (9:27) and "The Brothers Quay" Visual FX Piece (1:32) continue the stint of featurettes looking at some visual effects of the film, the first at digitally creating Frida Kahlos artworks as living pictures and the second at stop motion animation for creating the Day of the Dead sequence after the bus accident. These features are exceptional and worthy additions to this collection of the making of Frida. Tying up the collection of featurettes is the Portrait of an Artist (14:09), which looks at the cast of the film and how they have been included to portray the life of this great artist. Summing up the entire collection is a set of seven Frida Kahlo Facts presented as text-only screens, giving a bit of a run down on the history of Frida Kahlos life.
The features provided on this DVD are simply phenomenal, giving great insight into the films production and history. Presented on a technologically and emotionally strong two disc DVD set, Frida simply jumps off the screen with animation, passion and power which has rarely been rivalled in cinema in recent years. For lovers of fine art, this is one theatrical experience not to be missed, and what better medium to enjoy it on than a gorgeous DVD presentation?
One Perfect Day"One Perfect Day leaps off the screen with vibrancy, life and emotion, all wrapped up with a slick soundtrack and effervescent editing..."
Gadjo Dilo"...even at 97 minutes, Gadjo Dilo or The Crazy Stranger led to The Slightly Bored Reviewer..."
The Craic"This Craic is as unfunny as a plumbers butt crack, with a transfer thats just as pretty too..."
How to Deal"...How To Deal is still a little bit shallow in places, but ultimately leaves you with more of a huh? sensation..."
Drumline"Dit doo wah!"

We're going lifestyle baby!
Yes, hold on to your hats ladies and gentlemen, A Little Mad Smith is becoming a lifestyle blog as of today.
"But Maddie, wasn't this already a lifestyle blog?" I hear you cry! Well, yes, it was, but I had a mental rule that said every post must have a specific purpose, like a recipe or DIY. As of today the rule book is going out the window, and I will be posting whatever content I fancy.
Please do not be alarmed! Recipes and DIYs will still be a frequent feature here on A Little Mad Smith, especially when Summer comes around and I have some more free time. But in the meantime I thought it'd be fun to share with you some of the more mundane stuff about my life, so you can get to know me a bit better.
Check out my new and improved "About me" page to see what I mean!
So what sort of things can you be expecting to see from me over the next few months?
I'm hoping to get some more chatty posts up here, monthly favourites, morning routines etc. I'll also be aiming to post some throw back posts for you all on a regular basis, to keep that creative content coming!
If I can commit to taking a photo of my face that I don't want to immediately delete, I would absolutely love to start getting some makeup tutorials up for you all seeing as I'm a makeup addict. I'm also hoping to get some "Sister Style" and fashion posts sorted when I'm back home over Easter! Maybe some OOTDs? Who'd like to see that?
I'll also be giving you some tips on dealing with stress, balancing a degree and a healthy lifestyle, and coping with loneliness as we get closer to exam season.
Please let me know what else you would be interested in seeing! Are you excited for the change? Or have you already gone and unfollowed me? (lol please don't).
Have an awesome day,

On Exhibit: Kelp Forest
Animal Facts
Scientific Name
Macrocystis pyrifera
Animal Type
photosynthesis converts the energy of light to the energy of carbohydrate molecules
in general to 100 feet (30 m); 175 feet (53 m) possible in ideal conditions
sea palms, bull kelp; family: Lessoniaceae
along the coast from Santa Cruz to Turtle Bay, Mexico and along the temperate coasts of South America, New Zealand, and Australia
Natural History
This majestic giant of the kelp forest grows faster than tropical bamboo—about three to five inches each day in our exhibit and 10 to 12 inches in the bay. Under ideal conditions, giant kelp can grow an astonishing two feet each day.
Held upright by gas-filled bladders at the base of leaflike blades, kelp fronds grow straight up to the surface, where they spread across the top of the water to form a dense canopy. Giant kelp often grows in turbulent water, which brings renewed supplies of nutrients, allowing the plants to grow to a possible height of 175 feet. The stemlike stipes are tough but flexible, allowing the kelp to sway in ocean currents. Unlike a proper root system, the holdfast—a coneshaped mass of branching extensions called haptera—doesn't carry nutrients or water; it anchors the kelp to a rock.
In Monterey Bay
Found mostly in near-shore waters, this algae's growing season begins in March and peaks in early autumn when the forest's luxuriant fronds carpet the bay. Like an apartment building, the towering kelp provides a wide variety of places to live from the basement and middle stories, to the penthouse up top. Food is plentiful here as well. Invertebrates graze on the blades, fish seek shelter in the fronds and thousands of invertebrates live in the root-like holdfast—such as brittle stars, sea stars, anemones, sponges and tunicates.
Sea otters also like to hang out in the kelp forest, where they find their favorite foods and can wrap up in a kelp frond to keep from drifting away at naptime. (The Aquarium's back decks are a great place to spot them!) Sea otters play a particularly important role in the health or the bay's kelp forests; without them, sea urchins—which normally eat pieces of kelp that fall to the seafloor—will feed on the stipes of giant kelp plants and can completely destroy a kelp bed. Otters keep the urchins in check so the kelp forests can thrive.
Kelp is harvested for use in aquaculture. Studies seem to show little, if any, negative affects from harvesting. Kelp could be seen as a renewable resource.
Sludge, silt or sewage dumped near kelp forests can cover and destroy the microscopic stage of giant kelp.
Cool Facts
Giant kelp is harvested as a source of algin, an emulsifying and binding agent used in the production of many foods and cosmetics, like ice cream, toothpaste and cereals.
Pieces of decomposing kelp (detritus) sink to the depths of the ocean, providing food for deep sea creatures.
As kelp grows, a blade at the tip of each frond separates, producing a series of tiny new blades. The logo of the Monterey Bay Aquarium represents the tip of a growing kelp plant.

For many of us, the word "travel" invokes images of white sand beaches, adventuring through Europe, or even spending time with family in a different part of the country. On the other hand, for the billions working in corporate America, travel often invokes images of briefcases, meetings, and working meals. In 2016, 307 billion dollars were spent on travel. That much, or more, has likely already been spent in 2017 with less than a quarter left in the year.
Travel Tips for Business Travelers
If you're among the individuals traveling for work, we have a special treat for you today – 7 quick tips to help you make the most of your business trips. Whether it's ideas to help you save time, ways to incorporate a little fun, or how to keep up with your fitness routine, we've got you covered!
1. Save Time to Prevent Stress
Just because you're on a business trip, does not necessarily mean you have to be stressed! Saving time to ensure you have some cushion or downtime, will do wonders for your mental health. Save time by pre-booking your plane seats, choosing priority seating to board first, become an executive lounge member of a certain airline for access to high-speed wifi and refreshments. Also, check out directions and routes ahead of time, pre-book an airport pick-up to your hotel, and, if driving, be sure to have access to GPS on your phone or in the car.

2. Choose The Hotel Wisely
If you get to choose your hotel, spend a little extra time researching the perfect fit. Many hotels are business-oriented and will be equipped with everything that you will need. Some ideas of what to look for include: convenient location, reliable high-speed wi-fi, in-room desk, fitness center, pool, 24-hour business center, flexible meeting rooms and onsite restaurants.

3. Pack as if Your Luggage Will Always be Lost
Traveling with just a carry-on is always an excellent idea, but in the instances when you need to check a bag, be sure to have the essentials packed in a handbag or carry on just in case. For example, pack a business outfit, sleep outfit, laptop, essential documents, and any medications in the bag you will take onto the plane. That way, if your luggage is lost, you won't be in a pickle. Please note – flying with only a carry-on will also save you time!
4. Pre-Configure Your Workout Schedule
If you've done your hotel research, you'll already know what the hotel's fitness center capabilities are. You might also consider checking out the surrounding nature – are there running trails? Hiking? Scenic urban walks? You can determine how you want to work out and when you'll be able to, ahead of time. That way you can hit the ground running, literally or figuratively, upon arrival.

5. Schedule in Time to Unwind
All work and no play can cause physical tension and mental stress. To perform your best, it's important to take a few moments, each day, to unwind. If you know what your schedule will be, you can see where this fits in. If you don't know your exact schedule, then at least take note of how or where you might unwind. Does your hotel have a trendy looking restaurant or bar? Are you a jacuzzi and sauna kind of person or a tennis and golf fanatic? Have some ideas ready to go!
6. Take Public Transportation
One of the best ways to get to know a place and see/interact with its everyday people, is on public transportation. Take the local metro, ride the bus, whatever the modalities are, try out one of them if/when you have time!
7. Sprinkle in a Little Culture, If Possible
Take advantage of being sent somewhere new! If time allows, head to a museum, art gallery, go on a hike, taste the local craft beer, whatever floats your boat. There's always something new to discover when traveling, and you've been given a chance to do so!
RELATED: These Breweries in Westchester, New York Are Well Worth a Visit
Making the most of business travel requires a little pre-planning and an open mind, but with those two things, your next business trip might just be the best one yet! If you're in the market for a hotel in Westchester County, New York, Doral Arrowwood Resort is the premier business travelers choice!
