Cozy Wednesday with Leslie Budewitz – Author of As the Christmas Cookie Crumbles #Excerpt / #Review / #Giveaway
Welcome to Cozy Wednesday!
I am happy to share an excerpt from Leslie's new book and to kick off her Great Escapes Book Tour!
The Great Christmas Cookie Debate
By Leslie Budewitz
Excerpt from As the Christmas Cookie Crumbles (June 8, 2018, Midnight Ink)
In the dining room, we oohed and ahhed over the offerings. Date pinwheels, spritz cookies, bourbon balls. Candy cane cookies studded with crushed peppermint. Big, soft coconut macaroons dipped in chocolate. Jam thumbprints. Fudge ecstasies—crackle-topped cookies that make me ecstatic.
"No biscotti?" Heidi said. "Isn't it a law that every Italian must make biscotti?"
"Everyone makes biscotti," I said, "Italian or not. So what's the point?"
"You brought peanut butter cookies?" Chiara asked Molly, who is not half Italian.
"They're my favorite," Molly answered. "Everyone loves peanut butter cookies. These are simple—six ingredients."
"But they're not Christmas cookies."
When it comes to cookies, my sister and I were on the same page. Certain traditions must be followed.
As you might imagine, in anticipation of a book with cookies in the title and all over the cover, I've been talking cookies a lot lately. Christmas cookies. And I've been as surprised as Erin Murphy, my main character, to discover that not everyone agrees with her about Christmas cookies.
Don't get us wrong. We both love peanut butter cookies, and the flourless version her young cousin Molly brings to the Murphys' annual friends-and-family cookie exchange is both yummy and easy. We bow to no one in our love of a good chocolate chip cookie. And snickerdoodles? Joy, rolled in cinnamon sugar.
But they aren't Christmas cookies.
What, to Erin, me, and both our mothers, makes a cookie a Christmas cookie? Some are clearly seasonal—only an author testing a recipe is likely to color dough red and twist it into candy canes in June. Christmas cookies feature an ingredient not used in an everyday cookie. Fruitcake has long been relegated to December—or in some households, to the trash bin, but I don't hold with that either—so that's when fruitcake cookies or bars surface. Candied fruit, dates, and nuts are holiday staples.
A gingerbread boy or girl served any other time of year? Just plain wrong. A sugar cookie in the shape of a star or a bell, trimmed with frosting or sprinkles? You know I'm right. And spritz? Case closed.
Quite a few readers mentioned jam thumbprints as holiday faves, and I can't recall eating one any other time of year. Other cookies are holiday stars in certain European traditions—pfeffernusse, Berlinkranzer, lebkuchen, pizzelles.
Then there's the snowball with its pseudonyms—Russian tea cakes or cookies, Mexican wedding cakes, and pecan sandies. So important to the holiday that they even play a role in the mystery. I can hardly wait to try the "Dirty Snowball" one reader created by adding cocoa powder added to the powdered sugar. But I will wait, until December 1.
And we haven't even talked about fudge, divinity, or peppermint bark.
Now it has been brought to my attention that some cookbooks call the snickerdoodle a Christmas cookie. If it meets your criteria for special, and you only make it in December, then by all means, go ahead and give it that label. After all, traditions do vary. Frankly, I think you'd be unnecessarily depriving yourself the joy of those little balls of crackly dough wrapped in sugar and spice and everything nice the rest of the year.
Or maybe that just leaves more for me. And Erin. And you, if you stop by. Because no matter what the cookie, no matter what the season, cookies taste better when they're shared.
As the Christmas Cookie Crumbles (A Food Lovers' Village Mystery)
Cozy Mystery
5th in Series
Setting – Montana

Paperback: 288 pages

Erin is one smart cookie, but can she keep the holiday spirit—and herself—alive till Christmas?
In Jewel Bay, all is merry and bright. At Murphy's Mercantile, AKA the Merc, manager Erin Murphy is ringing in the holiday season with food, drink, and a new friend: Merrily Thornton. A local girl gone wrong, Merrily has turned her life around. But her parents have publicly shunned her, and they nurse a bitterness that chills Erin.
When Merrily goes missing and her boss discovers he's been robbed, fingers point to Merrily—until she's found dead, a string of lights around her neck. The clues and danger snowball from there. Can Erin nab the killer—and keep herself in one piece—in time for a special Christmas Eve?
Includes delicious recipes!
Dollycas's Thoughts
Time to celebrate Christmas and a wedding in Jewel Bay. Adam and Erin are getting married on Christmas Eve! That is after she gets Murphy's Mercantile all ready for the holidays. The community has turned out for Decoration Day and Erin is surprised to see Merrily Thornton has returned to town. She is even more surprised about how Merrily's family is treating her. She immediately invites Merrily to her cookie swap the following Sunday,
Merrily fails to show up at Erin's house or at work the next day. Then her boss notices his bank deposit was short the cash Merrily was supposed to take to the bank. The woman is reported missing and sadly her boss is the one to find her dead eerily with a string of lights wrapped around her neck. Erin is rocked by her new friend's death and decides she must find her killer. Hopefully, she doesn't cross the killer or Adam may be left standing at the altar all by himself.
It was a lot of fun to read a story set at Christmas when the temperatures outside were climbing way past 90 degrees. Decorating Day is Jewel Bay sounds like the perfect way to get in the Christmas Spirit.
The characters in this series are some of the most realistic I have ever read. It is very easy to get invested in their lives. Even though Merrily's family wasn't the nicest they still come across as real. I don't agree with the way the handled things in their family, but we have all met people we don't agree with.
The mystery this time really keep me guessing. Truthfully at one time or another, I suspected everyone the victim had come into contact with. Red herrings, there were a bunch. Several twists too. I was right about one part of it and totally surprised about everything else. I enjoyed how Erin jumped right into her investigation even with the holidays and her wedding coming up quick. I loved her method for keeping all the facts and suspects straight.
The story has an excellent pace. Many events take place within the 288 pages, but nothing is rushed or missed. The author describes people and places so clearly that pictures formed quickly in my mind. The dialogue was wonderfully written too.
A loving family and a family pulled apart come together in this terrific cozy mystery.
The author also includes recipes in the back of the book. The one I am excited to try is the Classic Italian Lasagna. Several differences from ours but without the Murphy's sauce, it will probably be hard to duplicate.

Like Noah
As we approach a difficult text, we could get bogged down in various interpretations. Yet as we examine the context of Peter's letter, we can draw powerful conclusions about the resurrection of Jesus. We can relate to the evil world of Noah's day and celebrate God's provision both then and now.

There are two main methods of valuing livestock on hand at year end for tax purposes.
HERD SCHEME: (National Average Market Value).
The values for each class of livestock are announced by the IRD mid May each year, and are based on a survey of livestock values throughout the country as at 30th April. The theory of the scheme is that stock valued under this method should be capital assets rather than trading stock. This is done to protect the farmer from the taxation effect of fluctuations in the values of breeding stock.
The values for all sheep (apart from breeding rams) have increased from last year, with two tooth ewes up 19.3% to $179. Breeding rams dropped back 17.2% to $289.
Most beef cattle values have decreased, between 0.4% for rising 3yr+ steers & bulls (now $1,608) to 10.8% for rising 1 yr heifers (now $735). The exception is mixed age cows which increased 4.6% to $1497
Dairy stock has reversed part of the prior year's gain, with mixed age cows dropping 7.3% to $1,529. Breeding dairy bulls are the only class to increase, now $1947 (3.2% increase).
TRADING SCHEME: (National Standard Cost)
These values are announced late January each year, and are the estimated costs of breeding, rearing and growing of the various stock groups. Whilst any class of livestock can be on the Trading Scheme it differs from the Herd Scheme as it is based on actual purchase price (if any) plus a breeding, rearing and growing cost (BRG) determined by the IRD.
This year's values, apart from some deer classes, have increased. Sheep values have increased by $2.40 for rising 1's ($34.60 BRG) and $1.40 for rising 2's ($24.10 RG).
The significant increase with cattle is bobby calves where costs have risen by 30% to $186. Rising 1 yr dairy cattle costs are $437.30 compared with $362.50 for beef of the same age. Rising 2 yr dairy costs are $333.30. The beef equivalents are $203.40 which is also the rearing and growing costs for rising 3 yr cattle, whether dairy or beef.
The important difference between the two schemes is that, with the Trading Scheme, any change in values is taxable or deductible even though the gains/losses are held in the stock on hand values and may not yet been realised. For animals in the herd scheme, the difference between the year's opening and closing values, for the number of opening stock in each class, is not subject to tax.
Note that the rules for election into the herd scheme changed a number of years ago, and now election must be made in writing and approved by the IRD prior to filing the tax return. Election is now made by type (dairy cattle, sheep etc.) rather than class, however it is up to the taxpayer to determine when and how many stock of each class are going to be introduced to the scheme each year, if any. A combination of the two schemes can be used. Once stock are in the herd scheme it is virtually impossible to transfer them to another method of valuation.
Livestock valuation is a complicated area and can result in tax advantages and disadvantages, including effects on succession planning. It is therefore important for farmers to discuss options with their tax adviser.

Good morning everyone! It's been a great week here in Utah! It's been a pretty warm week here. So it's been nice! As I'm sure all of y'all are curious about what's happening this transfer I tell you the big news! So, I'm a staying in Hunter East Stake and Hunter Stake. I am going to be training again here! My new companion's name is Elder Heeding, and he is from Missouri! I'm looking forward to meeting him and helping him start his mission! I am super excited to met him tomorrow! Elder Denkers will be with us till this Saturday and then that afternoon he will board the plan for the Philippines! I am definitely going to miss him, but I know he will do great out there! So we will be a trio for most of this first week. haha!
Besides that, the rest of our week has been wonderful! We have been finishing up the new member lessons with Braxton. And with Wyatt, our new 9 year old investigator, is doing well and we are doing great through the lessons and he will be on date soon! We helped someone move this week! It was our recent convert Linh and we just helped move some heavy stuff out of his apartment which went well! He is going back to California to help his dad. We also are on our last lesson with Rebecca another convert. We have gone on visits a few time this week which went well and we are still trying to find new investigators to add to our teaching pool. Sunday was great! We had church and then a stake correlation in the afternoon. We got some referrals from that which will be great to go and contact later this week.
Other than that this week has been great! Later today we had some members throw Elder Denkers a farewell party/dinner of sorts. Brother Nelson is doing a cookout, and since Elder Denkers will have his birthday in the Philippines they are doing a mini birthday party before he heads out. We are looking forward to that! I hope everyone has a great week! I'll be sure to take pictures with Elder Heeding so y'all can see his face. I think he is from Potosi, so if anyone knows where that is let me know. haha! I love y'all and stay warm!

Close to one-third of men over the age of 40 report some form of sexual dysfunction, which can be brought on by health conditions, stress, alcoholism and drug abuse, and the use of certain medications. And, of course, there is the issue of aging and the effect it has on your libido.
Tens of millions of men turn to drugs like Viagra, Cialis and Levitra for erectile dysfunction (ED), and the market for them now surpasses $5 billion a year.
Then there are the men who take the natural route, using herbs or supplements such as DHEA, epimedium (more commonly known as horny goat weed), folic acid, vitamin E, ginkgo, ginseng, yohimbe, zinc or fenugreek seeds to boost their sex drive and performance.
In a new study, researchers looked at the ability of another herb, kaempferia parviflora (also known as krachai dam or black galingale), both alone and in combination with exercise, to see what effect it may have on sexual motivation and performance.[1]
Kaempferia parviflora is a member of the ginger family that is native to Thailand, and it has traditionally been used there to treat things such as inflammation, diarrhea, vertigo and heart problems. It has also been thought to enhance male sexual activity and reproductive function, and research is emerging to back up those claims.
In the study at hand, 40 male rats were randomly assigned to four groups of 10. One group was given ethanol extract of kaempferia parviflora for four weeks, another performed treadmill running at a moderate intensity for four weeks, and the third group received both the extract and exercise training. Finally, there was a control group that received neither.
At the end of the four weeks, researchers found that both kaempferia parviflora extract and the exercise training had measurable effects on the animals. Specifically, in all three treatment groups, the time it took for the male to initiate sex (an indicator of sexual motivation) and the time it took until ejaculation (an indicator of sexual performance) were significantly shortened in comparison to the control group.
However, when it came to what the authors termed "mounting frequency" (the number of mounts until ejaculation), only the exercise and the extract combined with exercise intervention groups saw an improvement. Both exercise groups also saw an increased number of ejaculations (another performance indicator) compared with the control and extract-only groups.
But the kaempferia parviflora treatment did decrease the amount of time between ejaculation and the next mount, i.e., the recovery period, when compared with the control.
As a side note, there was no indication that the exercise or the extract had any effect on fertility.
The authors concluded, "This study clearly showed that [kaempferia parviflora] or exercise training significantly enhanced aphrodisiac activity of male rats. Combined treatment with [kaempferia parviflora] and exercise had no additive effect."
In other words, both treatments had an overall positive effect on sex drive and performance when looked at separately and combined, but combining them did not seem to make the results all that more, um, potent. However, given that they affected different sexual indicators, it might make sense to consider both avenues.
When it comes to exercise, the results may be due in part to an increase in serum testosterone. It could also be that the exercise training had direct or indirect effects on the brain and/or spinal neural circuits involved in sexual behavior.
As for the kaempferia parviflora, the authors hypothesized that the impact was related to an increase in blood flow to the reproductive organs as opposed to a change in testosterone levels. So, in addition to sticking with a moderate intensity exercise program, you could try this herb to give your sex life a boost. It comes in extract or capsule form, and also as an herbal tea. Look for it in a dietary supplement store or online.

Silverfish Removal
Silverfish are small .5-1 inch wingless insects with abdomens that taper at the end. With their grey coloring and their tendency to wiggle, the name Silverfish seems to fit. Silverfish inhabit moist areas and will consume just about anything but will prefer paper, book bindings, glue, carpet and hair etc. Proper control starts with finding the moisture source. Leaking pipes, roofs and air conditioner units just to name a few. It does not stop there, you will need to remove all the moisture damaged wood and insulation. Chemical treatment will help knock down the population and when applied after the moisture problem is removed will give long term control. If you have a Silverfish problem please fill out the form on the right or give us a call.

24.3MP X-Trans CMOS III APS-C sensor
The Fujifilm X100F features Fuji's top spec 24.3MP X-Trans CMOS III APS-C sensor, a nice bump-up from the 16MP found on the previous model. The sensor features a unique random colour filter and no optical low pass filter to provide sharp images with ample cropping and composition adjustments after shooting, while the unique random colour filter reduces moire and false colours. This sensor also features an outstanding read speed, high-speed continuous shooting, high-precision AF tracking, lightning-fast live-view refresh rate and superb video recording.
Light sensitivity range of ISO 100-51200
A wide light sensitivity range of ISO 100-51200 gives the Fujifilm X100F the flexibility to shoot in almost any lighting condition while the powerful X Processor Pro processing engine greatly reduces noise.
Full HD video recording with film simulation
The X100F can record Full HD videos at either 60P, 50P, or 24P. Film Simulation modes are available during video recording. Movie shooters can enjoy extra creativity, without the need for lengthy post-production, including monochrome video in ACROS or Velvia.
14 bit RAW image capture
The Fuji X100F features 14 bit RAW image capture in lossless compressed and uncompressed modes. By capturing RAW files in 14-bit, users will be able to further push post processing for even more accurate colours, wider dynamic range and improve noise reduction.
Fast and accurate focusing system
The advancements in the new sensor and processor brings the focusing time down to a minimum of 0.08 seconds and brings a total of 91-point AF points that uses both phase- and contrast-detection methods. A rear focus select lever makes selecting points quick.
Hybrid optical & electronic viewfinder
The hybrid viewfinder in the X100F combines the features of an optical viewfinder (OVF) and electronic viewfinder (EVF). Switching between the 2 modes can be done through a lever at the front of the camera; and you can also display a focus area over the OVF screen to take advantage of Focus Peaking and Digital Split Image functions even in the OVF mode for accurate focusing in real time.
The Electronic Rangefinder shows the EVF in a small window at the bottom right corner of the OVF. The EVF in the ERF mode has 100% finder coverage and can display a focus area in 2.5x and 6x magnification. While composing with the OVF, you can check the EVF window for exposure, white balance and other details to be reflected in your actual pictures. Use the MF Assist function for highly accurate manual focusing.
Real Time Parallax CorrectionParallax, i.e. a displacement of the shooting frame in the viewfinder from the actual area to be photographed especially in close-ups, is automatically corrected in real time. Even in OVF mode, the X100F automatically corrects the position of the shooting frame and focus area upon focusing, and displays them correctly for more accurate composition.

Chris Brown's Probation Ends,Court Closes Rihanna Assault Case
Chris Brown is finally off probation. Chris Brown is a happy and "thankful" man today. After six years and numerous run-ins with the law, Breezy is finally off probation and his 2009 assault case on Rihanna has come to a close as well. TMZ reports that Judge James R. Brandlin signed off on Brown's release from probation earlier on Friday after Breezy completed the terms of his sentence, which included domestic violence and anger management counseling, rehab, and 1000 hours of community service. "I couldn't be more delighted," said Brown's attorney Mark Geragos after the hearing. "He is in a spot right now and a place right now that I couldn't be prouder of him," he continued, stating Friday's hearing was "a monumental feat for him." Breezy took to twitter on Friday afternoon to share the news with his 14 million followers: IM OFF PROBATION!!!!!!!! Thank the Lord!!!!!! — Chris Brown (@chrisbrown) March 20, 2015

Moranbah, situated in the state of Queensland is called 'the new kid on the block' by locals, because it is one of the youngest towns in Northern Australia. Established in 1969 as a mining town, Moranbah is an ever growing and developing town. Car hire in Moranbah is recommended as an option to explore surrounding Queensland and all it has to offer. Moranbah is a small town with a great atmosphere and real sense of Australian culture, if you fancy a stint away from the tourist hotspots, it's the perfect place to stay. The surrounding area can be explored by hiring a car in Moranbah and getting out to experience the beauty of the Australian countryside.
Moranbah is close to the Peak Range National Park, which is part of the Peak Downs. Visitors hiring a car in the Moranbah can enjoy the scenic drive that the Peak Downs Highway provides, with outstanding views of the mountains and countryside that stretch between Moranbah and the neighbouring towns of Clermont and Dysart. The peaks were formed around 26 million years ago - which makes them young mountains by Australian standards. You can follow the mountain road to the nearby towns if you rent a car in Moranbah, to explore what other towns have to offer.
The Peak Range National Park is not limited to the peaks themselves - in the park you can also explore mangrove swamps, rainforest and sand dunes (it's amazing that all that can exist in a relatively compact space) as well as dense woodland with eucalyptus trees and poplar gums. If you drive further along, the Peak Range National Park becomes the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park - the two are linked together by the Cape Creek system. The area is home to species that are close to extinction, and without the protection of the wildlife parks, would not be around to this day.

Consider Shielding / Grounding:
Shields cause any effects you intend them to have when you create them.
Just like any psychic ability, energy follows thought.
Whatever you think about when you create the shield affects how it is created.

Do you notice a little sting in your teeth or when you eat cold foods like ice cream or try to enjoy a hot cup of coffee or tea?
If so, it's time to schedule a trip to the dentist to rule out causes like a cavity or a cracked tooth. For many, the problem may be tooth sensitivity —a very common condition that can be caused by a variety of factors. Sensitivity can range from an occasional sting to frequent pain.
As we age, receding gums (gums that move away from teeth) or tooth enamel that has worn too thin exposes root surfaces of teeth, can cause tooth sensitivity.
Other possible causes include brushing too hard and wearing down enamel; developing gum disease (gingivitis) temporarily irritating teeth with whitening products; grinding or clenching; eating acidic foods or using acidic mouthwashes; or experiencing temporary sensitivity following routine dental procedures.
Consult with your dentist for the best way to treat your sensitive teeth. He or she will begin by ruling out or treating serious dental problems. Your dentist can determine whether you need a professionally applied fluoride gel, desensitizing paste or a dental sealant to strengthen enamel and reduce sensitivity and can also recommend a desensitizing toothpaste that helps block transmission of sensation from the tooth surface to the nerve with regular use.
If you have gingivitis or your enamel is wearing thin because you're brushing too hard, your dentist can also review proper oral hygiene techniques with you to protect your teeth and reduce sensitivity. If you are grinding or clenching, your dentist may recommend wearing a mouth guard at night and avoiding stress. He or she may also recommend reducing the amount of acidic foods in your diet.
Visit ADA.org for more details on the causes of sensitive teeth and treatment options.

Fast, quality Estimating Service for UK builders
Consumer organisations now encourage home owners to be wary of any builder who is unwilling to enter into a contract. A contract will impress your customers, show professionalism and you'll stand a great chance of winning the job. We can do it for you using legally binding contracts produced by a leading construction barrister, Hugh Saunders. A specialist in construction and engineering law he has extensive experience with construction contracts.
Having a legally binding construction contract is not just for the builders to present to clients, homeowners can also benefit from being able to issue a contract to their builder if they want to provide clarity on the project.
You get a really professional Building Contract for your client (as a PDF file) filled with your company and project details. Progress a job safe in the knowledge that you'll get paid on time with a legally binding building contract in place that leaves no-one in doubt about the work covered, its value, obligations, payment timings, defects, termination, warranties, insurance, dispute resolution and more.

Big-city internships, arranged through International Programs and Career Services, give Stonehill students not only the practical experience they need to launch careers and enter graduate school but also the cultural experiences that allow them to expand their perspective, sharpen their problem-solving skills, collaborate with different people and become global thinkers.
From their 384-acre campus outside of Boston, Stonehill students venture out for internships in major cosmopolitan centers from LA to London. Here, a few share thoughts on why they went and what they learned.
Jovan Zilic '15
Internship: State Street Global Advisors
Major: Finance
Hometown: Revere, Massachusetts
State Street Global Advisors in Boston is as fast-paced and demanding as Wall Street, and Jovan Zilic '15 wouldn't have it any other way. He loved every second of his internship — multitasking, meeting deadlines and being immersed in the financial world.
"Being in Boston allowed me to develop a sense of independence and adaptability, [and] the fast-paced environment inside the workplace gave me the opportunity to improve my critical-thinking skills," said Jovan, who helped analyze portfolio returns, compare risk indicators and evaluate their behavior during market crises. "This allowed me to hone my analytical skills [and to] better understand the complex world of financial management," Jovan said.
The internship also provided invaluable networking opportunities at the major financial house. Said Jovan, "It gave me the opportunity to ultimately build strong professional relationships."
Matthew Stathis '15
Internship: Set in Paris Movie Tours
Major: Foreign languages
Hometown: East Bridgewater, Massachusetts
When Matthew Stathis '15 flew into Paris for his internship with Set in Paris Movie Tours, he couldn't have imagined the breadth of skills and knowledge the experience would provide him.
"For 10 weeks, this small luxury bus tour company provided me with unique insight into how much work it takes to keep a small business running," he said of the firm, which offers tours of memorable film locations in the French capital. "[It] enabled me to observe all aspects of sustaining this business from the ground up." Just as important, he said, were the cultural lessons. Watching business dealings, he was struck by how negotiations were less corporate than what he'd seen in the United States and more intensely focused on personal relationships.
"What I really gained was an expanded sense of business management," he said. "Seeing the time and effort that goes into making sure that the business partnership was the right one for Set in Paris was such an educational experience."
Patrick O'Mara '15
Internship: Office of Dublin City Councilor Gerry Breen
Major: Political science & international studies
Hometown: Amherst, N.H.
Patrick O'Mara '15 knew his internship in the office of a Dublin city councilor would have him deeply involved in the workings of municipal government, but he didn't expect to be meeting the Irish prime minister and his cabinet.
Patrick spent his internship as a personal aide and campaign manager to Dublin City Councilor Gerry Breen, and one of the highlights was being asked to attend a late-night meeting at a hotel near Kildare Street.
"I arrived with Gerry [and] was taken to the event room and greeted by the prime minister, Enda Kenny, as well as the members of his cabinet," he recounted. "I was sitting next to the minister of state and across from the minister of transportation."
He is now investigating the possibility of a master's degree at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government. "[This] came about because a Stonehill alumnus who works there was reading over my resume and was intrigued by my work in Ireland."
New York
Grace Hazelwood '15
Internship: Major League Baseball
Major: Communication
Hometown: West Simsbury, Connecticut
Sports management had long been an interest of Grace Hazelwood '15, but it wasn't until she accepted a Major League Baseball internship at MLB headquarters in Manhattan that she knew for sure it was what she wanted to do with her professional life.
While interning in New York, Grace compiled media reports and helped produce the 2013 World Series Media Guide, writing short synopses of key games. In between she fielded calls from baseball writers working for major broadcasting networks or newspapers.
"This opportunity threw me into a high-energy and successful industry where I learned a lot," she said. "And also this busy internship helped boost my confidence [while] working in a tough but fun environment."
Anthony Elias '15
Internship: Office of U.S. Rep. Michael Michaud, D-Maine
Major: Political science
Hometown: Waterville, Maine
The experience of helping run a congressional office showed Anthony Elias '15 the amazing change that can come when you bring together passionate people committed to helping others.
"After everything I've learned, the experiences I've had and the people I've met, I am now more than ever inspired to create change," said Anthony, who interned for Maine Congressman Michael Michaud. For more than 30 years, the Stonehill in Washington program has placed students in high-profile internships that give them skills useful in their field of study and puts them face to face with people in the highest levels of national and international leadership. "I'm taking everything that I've learned and hoping to create change at Stonehill."
Austin Alfredson '15
Internship: ESPN
Major: Communication
Hometown: Middleton, Massachusetts
Stonehill's Office of International Programs works with students who aspire to complete their internship abroad to help them figure out where they want to go and then make sure they have the skills and experiences to get there.
The result for Austin Alfredson '15 was an internship that put him in a modern office building on Queen Caroline Street in West London, analyzing consumer data with ESPN's Market Research Department. He also took four courses at London's CAPA International Education Center, including Ethical Issues & Media and Advertising & Marketing in Britain.
"From living and learning in the heart of London, to working at one of the most globally recognized leaders in sports, this Stonehill experience has changed my life," he said.
Adriana Solimine '14
Internship: The Florentine (newspaper)
Majors: Communication and foreign languages
Hometown: Peabody, Massachusetts
Adriana Solimine '14 knew she'd be dealing with a time difference when she went to Florence, Italy, for her internship at an Italian newspaper, but she didn't realize she'd be dealing with a "time difference."
"In Italy, as well as many other European countries, the perception of time is completely different," she said, noting that the business culture there puts less emphasis on speed and punctuality.
"As a communication and foreign languages (Italian/Spanish) double major, I was particularly interested in differences related to the work and communication styles I would encounter," she said. "I learned much more than simply journalism skills while at The Florentine — [I also learned] how to successfully communicate with Italians while learning cultural norms and being able to participate daily in workplace activity."
She said the experience helped her not only develop professional skills but also grow as a person. "I gained a unique insight and appreciation of the culture and everyday Italian lifestyle, as well as the Italian business environment," she said. "Most important, I learned to slow down and take time to make sure whatever I am doing is done to the best of my ability."
Los Angeles
Osasu Igbinedion '13
Internship: MGM
Degree: Communication
Hometown: Newton, Massachusetts
One of the traits that served Osasu Igbinedion '13 well before she even set foot on Hollywood Boulevard is one that everyone in the entertainment business knows is crucial: tenacity.
Osasu had hoped to intern in Los Angeles her junior year but was edged out in one of the most competitive internship environments around. She recommitted herself through coursework and on-the-job experience, including a corporate communications internship at Ocean Spray Cranberries Inc. and as a marketing intern for software development company MEGA.
It paid off. Osasu won a spot in the competitive Los Angeles internship program her senior year. "It was actually a blessing in disguise — going to LA as a senior was more beneficial than it would have been the year before," said Osasu.
She says her time as a TV marketing intern for MGM helped her further define her future. Now a student at the New York Film Academy, she eventually plans to return to her native Nigeria and start a PR firm that helps create positive community impact.
New York
Brianna Lertora '13
Internship: Women's Media Center
Degrees: Communication and Spanish
Hometown: Suffield, Connecticut
Brianna Lertora '13 was always interested in nonprofits, and as a journalism minor, she was also passionate about women's representation in media.
So just before graduating, she spent a summer interning at the Women's Media Center, a New York City-based nonprofit that works through media advocacy, media monitoring, media training and campaigns "to give women the presence and the voice they deserve in our media-driven society."
As an intern, she monitored print and online media for sexist coverage, blogged, wrote for the WMC website, and researched media and girls' organizations with which WMC could team.
"Internships are great because in addition to learning about the field, you learn a lot about yourself," she said. "WMC helped me narrow in on my passions and interests. It also showed me what type of professional environment and culture I want to work in. It was inspiring to work with such motivated and genuine people who were all there because they believed in" the same cause.
Bridget Cassidy '15
Internship: Our Lady's Children's Hospital-Crumlin
Major: Healthcare administration
Hometown: Brockton, Massachusetts
Bridget Cassidy '15 had certainly heard of teatime before traveling to Dublin for an internship at Our Lady's Children's Hospital-Crumlin, but she didn't know how it had evolved with the times.
"It was interesting to see how employees valued and utilized this daily ritual to better the working environment," said Bridget, whose internship had her rotating through multiple departments, working with people ranging from data security administrators to cardiac nurse specialists. "This social time allowed them to learn more about one another, which led them to work more effectively as a unit."
Bridget said the internship and another one closer to home have helped establish a network of contacts that she sees as having great potential. "I have made some great connections here and abroad. I have stayed in touch with the cardiac nurse specialists, who have said the door is always open for my return to work with them. My internship has also piqued the interest of some of my supervisors here, who have now helped me gather contact information at different hospitals and fundraising groups in Boston."
New York
Daniel J. Doherty '15
Internship: Goldman Sachs
Majors: Economics and finance
Hometown: Woburn, Massachusetts
There's an energy to big cities that permeates every aspect of life, and nowhere is it more palpable than New York. Daniel J. Doherty '15 got a healthy dose of this energy during a summer internship at Goldman Sachs this year, and it has stuck with him ever since.
"This past summer opened my eyes to the level of intelligence, passion and dedication in New York City," said Dan. "A huge number of people work very hard for the chance to earn a summer analyst position on Wall Street. I soon realized you have to be hungry, humble and prepared every day to stand out from the crowd. The energy level in NYC is also incredible. People never stop!"
His internship had him working on the Listed Derivatives Trade Management team, where he acquired new skills, developed professional relationships and balanced several responsibilities at once. But he also recognizes the immense value of the connections he made.
"I had the opportunity to collaborate with professionals and interns in all of the firm's major global offices," he said. "I worked with some of the most interesting people I have ever met and made long-lasting friendships."
Jamie Kaminski '15
Internship: Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital
Major: Neuroscience
Hometown: Milford, Connecticut
As an intern at the Traumatic Brain Injury Research Lab at Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital, Jamie Kaminski '15 learned from the world's top neuropsychologists and other brain injury specialists.
"The research team focuses on one patient every week, performing neuropsychological assessments [and] determining appropriate treatment plans," said Jamie, whose internship also included work on grant approvals and analysis for the lab's research projects.
Jamie said her internship directly influenced her decision to pursue a career as a neuropsychologist. She is currently applying to various doctoral graduate programs. "My time at Spaulding has shown me all that brain injury research has to offer. I was able to explore the field of neuropsychology in its entirety."
Working in Boston "opened up so many doors in the healthcare field. I was able to meet and network with many influential neuropsychologists and researchers," said Jamie. "Also, the hospital's therapeutic and research-based community allowed for my immersion in many different aspects of rehabilitation."
Jessie Lebowitz '15
Internship: Institute of Contemporary Art
Majors: Art history and studio art
Hometown: Haworth, New Jersey
Working at a major art museum in a big city was a dream internship for art major Jessie Lebowitz, who interned at the Institute of Contemporary Art in Boston.
She worked directly with two curatorial assistants to prepare two exhibits, including "Arlene Shechet: All at Once," a major exhibit that includes more than 150 of the artist's unique, visceral sculptures.
"Working at an esteemed museum in a big city [gave me a] great look at all of the steps that go toward curating an exhibition," said Jessie, whose duties at the ICA included updating exhibition checklists, researching prospective artists to add into the permanent collection, and contacting galleries and museums that loan artwork to the museum.
"One of my favorite experiences at the ICA was attending a tour of the new installation of the permanent collection by the curator," said Jessie. "I was able to hear her curatorial decisions and process."

After getting absolutely robbed at the Golden Globes, Get Out finally received the recognition it deserved during the 2018 Oscar nominations on Tuesday. Sweeping all the big categories, Get Out got a nod for Best Actor for Daniel Kaluuya, Best Original Screenplay, Best Director, and, of course, Best Picture. This, by the way, makes director Jordan Peele not only the third writer/director to ever receive the latter nominations in all three categories, but the first black man to do so, according to MTV.
Twitter promptly imploded with excitement, with many users unable to contain their effusions of glee. But no carefully selected GIFs or pithy one-liners can top the reaction of Peele himself. Upon hearing the news, the first-time feature writer/director fired off a series of tweets that should probably win something. (A runner-up, however, should be Peele's wife, comedian Chelsea Peretti, who tweeted, "AND OUR BABY SLEPT THRU THE NITE W NO MILK‼‼‼‼‼????????? ")
No doubt a lot of fans celebrated with a GIF from the movie, but Peele's choice of Chris crying while being hypnotized is perfect for reasons one should not have to explain. But his follow-up tweets (after he presumably got over his shock) are even better: "What's the opposite of the Sunken Place?" "I just spoke to Daniel. You know when you're on the phone trying to disguise the sound of an ugly cry? I failed at that." "Right now I'm just thinking about everyone who bought a ticket and told someone else to. You did this. Thank you. ✊? " I'm not ugly-crying, you're ugly-crying.
And this was just for the nominations. Just imagine the reaction should Get Out win an award.

DIY Co2 Recipe
DIY Co2 is an incredibly cost efficient way to start experimenting with CO2 for your aquarium. You can get started with CO2 for under $20 quite easily compared with $200 for a typical entry level commercial Co2 system. The most critical part of your DIY Co2 system is your recipe, it determines how long your Co2 will last as well as how much Co2 will be delivered to the tank per second.
The active ingredients that produce the Co2 are Yeast and Sugar, the yeast consumes the sugar and creates alcohol while releasing Co2 as a biproduct. Eventually, the alcohol produced will poison and kill the yeast ending the Co2 production at which point you need to empty your bottle and start again. By having more sugar/yeast the Co2 production is much more intense but won't last very long, on the other hand less yeast/sugar will result in a lower Co2 production but the mix won't need to be replaced as often.
The recipe I settled on gives me a consistent medium Co2 release for around 2 weeks after which production starts slowing until it stops completely after 3 weeks. This might work for you but feel free to adjust as needed to find a balance that works for you.
The Ingredients
- 2 cups sugar
- 1/2 tsp yeast (regular dry baker's yeast is fine)
- Water
- Mix some lukewarm water (not too hot) and a teaspoon of sugar in a small cup or bowl
- Add the yeast and mix with a fork vigorously until the water is bubbly. Let it sit for at least 10 minutes stiring every few minutes to keep the water oxygenated.
- Fill your primary container with lukewarm water to roughly 2/3rds full.
- Using a funnel, add the 2 cups of sugar to the primary container and then shake to mix and dissolve the sugar in the water.
- Add the yeast and water mixture you prepared to the primary container. Co2 should start producing within a few hours.

Publication history
This poem (ORG no. 1043) was first published in the A Diversity of Creatures with the story "Friendly Brook". It is collected in:
The theme
Over the centuries from Roman times to the present day, a Sussex field has changed hands many times. But all the while the local people, who work the land, are its true masters:
For whoever pays the taxes old Mus' Hobden owns the land.Background
In 1902 the Kiplings had settled at Bateman's in Burwash, in the once densely forested Sussex Weald, which became his home for the rest of his life. As Donald Mackenzie notes, in his Introduction to the 'Puck' stories, he swiftly became fascinated by the long and ancient history of his valley, and the evidence everywhere of the people who had lived and worked there over the years.
As Andrew Lycett (p. 436) explains, 'Hobden' was not a figure of Kipling's imagination:
The surname was a local one and the fictional character was based on William Isted, Rudyard's main local source about country lore. In his seventies when the Kiplings first came to Bateman's, he not only was an excellent hedger (when not the worse for drink) but also knew all about poaching, from the days when it was possible to pick up a fallow deer in Lord Ashburnham's woods towards Battle. After ten years his wife began to open up and tell Rudyard her recollections of magic in Sussex in the mid-ninteenth century, when a black cock would be killed and the local `wise woman' divined the future.Some critical comments
Angus Wilson (p. 285), writes in 1977 of Kipling's response to the world he found in Sussex:
I think, perhaps, that Kipling has found some equivalent of the Indian peasants who formed so vital a background to his early stories, with the additional advantage that he is nearer in sympathy and understanding to the Sussex peasantry. If only he could have treated the gentry as fiercely and as tenderly as he treated the white sahibs of India, he might have made a Sussex world akin to the world he created out of India.See also "An Habitation Enforced", in which a wealthy young American couple, the Chapins, settle on a Sussex estate. They adapt themselves happily to a new way of life, but when a bridge is to be built across a stream, soon after their first child is born, George Chapin is surprised to find his foreman has brought down some massive oak timbers. In America half a dozen two by four bits of softwood would be ample (Chapin has ordered larch). But when he protests he is firmly put in his place:
'All I say is that you can put up larch and make a temp'ry job of it; and by the time the young master's married it'll have to be done again. Now, I've brought down a couple of as sweet six-by-eight oak timbers as we've ever drawed. You put 'em in an' it's off your mind for good an' all. T'other way—I don't say it ain't right, I'm only just sayin' what I think—but t'other way, he'll no sooner be married than we'll 'ave it all to do again. You've no call to regard my words, but you can't get out of that.'

If you are reading this you must be interested in survival or activities in the forest where having an axe is a necessity. While most people will be intimidated by an ace if you can comb your hair you can use this tool. We are going to spend a few moments showing you how to select the best survival axe on the Internet.
Establishing Your Needs
In order to get the best possible value for your money you have to first establish what you are going to be using the axe for, will you just go camping once in a while or will you be spending a considerable amount of time in the forest ? This is a pretty important question since there some survival axes designed for extreme conditions but if you are the average person who only goes camping occasionally then you do not require a "top of the line" axe that commands a top of the line price.
After you have figured out what you will be using the axe for you should go on the Internet and identify all of the different brands. When you have established this list start looking on websites like YouTube for reviews posted by people who are using these axes, by watching these videos it will provide you with insight on the overall suitability of the axe and whether it is going to meet your current and future needs.
Securing The Best Possible Deal
Now that you know which survival axe is best suited for your needs you can begin sourcing for retailers that are selling the specific brand of axe you want to buy. When you have the names of these merchants you will need to start comparing the prices until you have found the retailers with the most competitive offers on the Internet. The last thing you will need to do is confirm the shipping costs of the survival axe so you are not spending more money than what is necessary. By sticking with these suggestions you should have no problem finding the best survival axes on the Internet just remember to bring along a compass with you whenever you are in the woods so the risk of you getting lost is greatly reduced. The sooner you go online and shop the happier you will be so start doing your research now while you have the time.

On January 18, the Wiggins FFA Chapter attended the National Western Stock Show in Denver. Members were able to walk around the expo hall, visit the livestock in both the yards and the barns inside, and speak with experienced adults in the agricultural industry to promote growth. We also had two senior members, Cody Huwa and Charlee Teague, show cattle at the Stock Show and they did very well.
Freshman Shelden Risner applied for a SAE breeding grant earlier this year that he received at the Stock Show. His work earned him $1500 in scholarship money, sponsored by Colorado FFA Association and the Rocky Mountain Farmers Union. Shelden will be purchasing a bred heifer to help build his own cattle herd. This will also be his Supervised Agriculture Experience Program.
On January 30th, the Wiggins FFA Chapter held their degree night. Eleven freshmen received their Greenhand degrees and six sophomores received their Chapter degree. The Wiggins FFA alumni members served chili & cinnamon rolls for the members and families in attendance. It was a successful night.
The District XIV LDE (Leadership Development Event) and CDE (Career Development Event) contests are coming up. Wiggins FFA has two LDE teams. Quiz Bowl, which is composed entirely of first year members, is where you are asked a series of questions in a tournament style bracket. Whichever team is the last one in, is the winner. Last years Quiz Bowl team, composed of Caden Callaway, Tanna Hansen, and Jagger Dinis, were the District and State winning team. Parliamentary Procedure has six team members. In our chapter those members are Shane Finegan (senior), Roxanne Bashor (senior), Bailey Eklund (senior), Jake McFadden (junior), Caden Callaway (sophomore), and Tanna Hansen (sophomore). These six will compete in a meeting simulation. They are scored by their quality of debate, if they performed the motion assigned to them, if they made an extra motion, and their overall presentation. Last years team, composed of Blake Ferris, Reid Ernst, Jessica Veeman, Roxanne Bashor, Shane Finegan, and Jake McFadden, won Districts and earned second at state.
Our CDE teams are just now starting up but news about these teams will be out soon. Last year's CDE teams were very successful and we are hoping to keep that reputation running. At the 2016 CDE contest, we had a second place Dairy Evaluation team, a sixth place Ag Sales team, and a state-winning Agronomy team. The Agronomy team also went to compete at the national contest in Indianapolis, Indiana. Roxanne Bashor, Bailey Eklund, Charlee Teague, and Rachel Columbia were a silver team at the National contest.
From February 20th to the 24th, National FFA Week was held. Wiggins FFA had many plans for the week, including a Barnyard day, faculty breakfast, and an 8th grade recruitment lunch. The chapter members also decided to put on a coat drive for the less fortunate. Boxes were set up in multiple locations at home basketball games and other places around town. So far we have collected over 100 items.
Several upperclassmen are working on Proficiency Award Applications and State FFA Degree Applications. These are awarded to outstanding members across the state and based a lot on the members SAEP (Supervised Agricultural Experience Program) and their leadership development and involvement. Last year we had three State winners with two getting Gold at Nationals and one a Silver in the Proficiency Areas. We expect to send in five Proficiency Applications and 4-5 State FFA Degree Applications.
We will also be busy with our greenhouse and upcoming plant sale which will take place May 6. We have interviewed and hired three current members to be in charge as part of their SAE. Other students will assist as part of the instructional units as well. The Chapter will also be holding our Annual Hired Hand Auction and Alumni Steak Supper on March 13th. This is a major fundraiser for the chapter and always generates a tremendous support from the community. This is very much appreciated by the chapter and allows us to fund our many activities.
Students are also busy in the shop and classroom with various projects or instructional units. Beginning students are learning about record keeping and welding skills. Second year students are currently working on advancing their skills in the shop, learning about the plasma cam system and designing their own projects. Our advance mechanics class are building individual projects and plan to begin small engines soon. The Animal Science class is learning about animal systems and nutrition. They will be dissecting fetal pigs soon and conducting a feed trial with chickens within a month.
Overall, we have had a very busy year with a lot to come!!
