Army Soldier for Life Network
LinkedIn is a business-oriented social networking service. It is mainly used for professional networking and, as of June 2013, has 259 million users in over 200 countries. If you have a career, or have ever had a career, LinkedIn is the social networking website for you.
In March, Soldier for Life launched a LinkedIn group: the Army Soldier for Life Network. This platform provides a space where Soldiers, Retired Soldiers, Veterans and their Families can network, trade tips and advice, and access employment opportunities. More than that, it fosters an environment of peer mentorship.
As a Retired Soldier, you have transitioned from military to civilian life. Who better to give advice than someone who has been there? You are the best mentor for that newly transitioning Soldier, Veteran or Family member. You have firsthand experience with everything from translating your resume from military language, to dressing for success in an interview, to questions about pay and benefits and everything in between. And, just as significant, you've experienced the mental transition from living and serving an entire career in the Army to living and working in a civilian community.
Join the Army Soldier for Life Network for access to this group, to mentor the next generation of Retired Soldiers and transitioning Veterans and Family members, and to stay connected to the Army.

In ruling in favor of nationwide marriage equality today, the Supreme Court has recognized a constitutional right to marry for same-sex couples. But the Court has also made the legal aspects of surrogacy significantly easier for same-sex couples in many states.
As Justice Anthony Kennedy noted in the Court's majority opinion, marriage carries with it many rights, benefits, and responsibilities including inheritance, taxation, hospital visitation, birth and death certificates, worker's compensation, etc. There are countless examples of the state and federal governments codifying marriage benefits into law.
A number of states have written these benefits into their surrogacy statutes. These are essentially thinly veiled attempts to prevent same-sex couples from pursuing surrogacy, establishing requirements that intended parents be "married couples." Today's ruling changes things.
In short: states with surrogacy statutes that require intended parents be married couples will now be required to extend the benefits of the surrogacy statutes to married same-sex couples. This means states like Utah, Florida, Virginia, and Texas will now need to treat married same-sex couples who are pursuing surrogacy as equal to their heterosexual counterparts. Note: this change may not be immediate and the states may need some education and instruction but it should be forthcoming.
To be clear: same-sex couples have been able to pursue surrogacy in these states in the past; however, they have often been subjected to additional legal hoops and added expense. Before today, a married same-sex couple from New York could work with a surrogate in Utah, for example, but would have been well advised to complete a second-parent adoption upon returning home to secure the parental status of the non-biological parent. Now, that couple can take advantage of the benefits afforded by the Utah surrogacy statute.
Circle's home state of Massachusetts provides another illustrative example of the changes we can expect. Before Massachusetts legalized same-sex marriage in 2004, a pre-birth order (PBO)—the legal proceeding which finalizes parental rights in a surrogacy arrangement before birth—was only possible for a married heterosexual couple. The possibility was extended to married gay and lesbian couples after marriage equality became the law of the land here.
It is a great day for all same-sex couples across this country. And the future is bright for those who choose to build their families through surrogacy.

text: When one thinks of a chariot festival in sure you're thinking of the, Indra Jatra, Biska Jatra or Rato Matysendranth. These festivals are the biggest in each Kingdom of the then Nepal Valley, but one chariot festival when is as historic as the three is not so known of : The Chariot Festival of Aryavalokiteswara Jana Baha Dyo. When the city of Kantipur(Kathmandu) was founded by King Gunakamadeva he arranged two chariot festivals to be held in his new city. "He arranged the procession of Indra Jatra accompanied by the Kumari Group. He also wished to establish the procession of Lokesvara just as in Patana, and therefore made an image of Khasarpalokesvara, performed the rityakl starting with invocation, arranged a procession, and caused it to be celebrated every year." Bajracharya, Micheals (2016: 59) Origin The original site of the monastery Khasarapalokesvara is believed to have been Hamhal Monastery which today is the pond of Rani Pokhari. The chariot festival was which was celebrated every year, is said to have stopped during the end of the Lichhavi Era, it is believed that the temple was destroyed during the raid of Mukunda-sena, the King of Palpa who raided Kathmandu. "The victorious soldiers broke and disfigured the images of the gods, sent the Bhairava placed in front of Machchindranatha to their own country, Palpa and Butawal." Wright (1877:171) Rediscovery After which the temple was lost to time, the chariot festival must have been stopped. During the reign of Yaksha Malla some potters, while digging for clay, found an image of Lokeswara, which had been made by Gunakamadeva Raja, but which had been buried under the ruins of the temple that fell down in the time of the Thakuri Rajas. The image henseforth was named Yamaleswara, and the place where it was dug up was called Yamal (Today called Jamal)." Wright (1877:189) "The king, having seen the image, performed the rituals of renovation; took the image inside the city and established it by building a large temple." Bajracharya, Micheals (2016: 90) After which during the period of King Pratap Malla, he reintroduced the chariot festival of Sena Machchhindra. "Pratapa Malla, then rebuilt the chariot of Lokesvara, the white Matsyendra, according to tradition. He had Lokesvara placed on the chariot and initiated an annual procession that moved the chariot around the city." Bajracharya, Micheals (2016: 106) It is believed that the deity was later shifted from Hambal Monastery, Yamala (Jamal) to Ket Tol (Jana Bahal), during the process of building the Rani Pokhari by King Pratapa Malla in 1670 AD. The Procession The chariot procession is marked for Chaituya Dashain, for which the chariot is building process is commenced a week prior. A group of traditional builders with the help of volunteers build the 4 storied chariot shaped in Shikhara architecture. The chariot is to various parts of the inner city( Old city) of Kathmandu. It is said that the procession must be completed before the full moon, for which the chariot is pulled within 3 days and on the third day a special puja is conducted and the image Jana Baha Dyo is taken back to the temple at Jana Bahal. The chariot is makes it's way from Durbar Marg to Bhotahity and rests in Asan on the first day. After which it is pulled to Ket Tol, Indra Chowk, and rests in Hanuman Dhoka. On the final day it makes its way through Basantapur Durbar Square, Jasidega and circles the mother tree three times in Lagan. The festival since time and milennia has been a way for the community to come together in merry celebration. Revellers rejoice in pulling the chariot and members of the community place offerings and prayers to Seto Matysendranath as it makes its way to their community. A tradition more than 300 years old still finds a heart in the modern city of Kathmandu, and seeing the next generation take interest in preserving their tradition by participating in the endeavours makes one quaint that it shall be around for more years to come.

Dear Editor:
Recently, I wrote a letter ("Let's talk about Trump," March 25, 2019) inviting Trump supporters to meet with me. Most I met with called Trump, usually in saltier language, a lowlife and unprincipled. Yet they all said they'll vote for him again in 2020 because of "the great things he's done for our country."
Many referred to their Christianity in justifying their views. But in using a Bible as a life preserver in the swamp that Trump has created — the swamp that Trump is — they're committing a sin their God capsized civilizations for: becoming willfully deaf and blind; ignoring His message.
They ignore these biblical passages, among many others:
"The alien who resides with you shall be to you as the citizen among you; you shall love the alien as yourself."
"Let us love one another, because love is from God; everyone who loves is born of God and knows God."
"A man's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions."
Trump's does. As a senior White House official wrote in a New York Times op-ed: "[My biggest] concern is not what Mr. Trump has done to the presidency but rather what we as a nation have allowed him to do to us. We have sunk low with him."
Indeed we have. But here's another Bible passage that, were Trumpers to heed, might help them — and the civilization of which we're all part — get their heads back above water:
"What shall it profit a man if he shall gain the whole world and lose his soul?"

Your photos tell stories.
Did you store away a slew of photos in shoe boxes over the years—and more recently created huge photo files in your computer? (These are perhaps even worse than shoe boxes. At least, photos in shoe boxes are easy to look at vs photos as thumbnails!) Now is the time to write the stories behind your photos.
If your family is like mine, you have photos of people that no one can any longer identify. At best, you might opine "I think that's someone on my mother' s side."

The Write Your First Memoir Draft Program is a self-paced, long-distance program designed to support your writing and maximize your production.
- print and audio presentations,

- loads of surprise bonuses.
"Our last Mastermind call really helped to focus me. I needed that."
Invest in your writing; invest in yourself. Register today.
Actions to take to better access your photos.
To help you to make sense of your photo collection, I have gathered the following actions you might take now.
Action #1: Choose a shoe box or computer file.
Whether on your computer or with a manila folder, create a time file label. (For example: 2003) Then create sub files. (January 2003, February 2003, etc.) A subsequent (or alternate) sub-file might contain the name of an event (Dad's birthday party) or a person's (Darcy) or any other category of your choosing. Necessary additional work involves printing the photo and placing it in a book or placing it on a web site that functions as a cloud-based photo album. In either case, you will do best to include a detailed caption (which we call "Cameo Narratives" in our flagship photo journaling book The Photo Scribe/How to Write the Stories Behind Your Photos.)
Action #2 For each of your photos, write a Memory List of the who, what, when, where, how, and why.
Include in a descriptive paragraph to accompany a photo or a group of photos. These captions will prove a pleasure to you and your family in years to come.
Action #3 In this digital age, we have too many photos of an occasion. Pare down on photos.
Choose the few (even one or two) best of every pose and discard the others. If you don't do this now, the task will have to be done later when you have even more photos to work through.
Action #4 Find the best resource materials to help you in this task.
Purchase the Photo Scribe Start Up Package. This package contains many resources to help you to make sense of your photos and to tell the stories you ought not to lose.
I hope you find these suggestions useful in writing the stories behind our photos.
Keep writing.

The Speed Dial - An abbreviated set of articles for the reader who has limited time.
How to coach teammates: A key responsibility of effective leaders
Think of an organization like a tree, with the CEO on the bottom. The individual contributors are the fruit—the people doing the work—and managers are their supportive branches. Coaching is a key tool for ensuring your teammates fully ripen.
It's Hard to Believe, but Syria's War Is Getting Even Worse
Since the rout of the Islamic State last year, and steady government advances against other insurgent groups, a misperception has grown abroad that the Syrian war is winding down. Instead, the carnage is reaching a new peak.
The Catch-22 of Risk-Averse Organisations
Every risk-averse organisation needs someone to take the initiative to eliminate risks. But in a risk-averse organisation, that's exactly what no one does.
The 3 Types of C Players and What to Do About Them
Early in your tenure as the boss, you will spot the C players by their lack of preparation on assignments or their consistent failure to meet deadlines and follow up on requests. They may accomplish only 40% to 50% of what you were expecting. They tend to blame others or external factors for delays and incomplete assignments. Perhaps they even blame you for not giving them more-precise instructions and expectations.
How to Make a Small Tweak in Communication for a Surprisingly Big Change
And then one observably upbeat and seemingly unflappable fellow shook his head a little, and said he hated it when internal customers would ask, "Can't you just…" and everyone in the room agreed. Vociferously.
When You Have to Carry Out a Decision You Disagree With
One of the great frustrations of being a middle manager is that senior leaders make decisions that go against what you would have done had it been up to you. Sometimes you are part of the decision process, and other times the decision is simply handed down. Either way, you are now responsible for ensuring that the plan is carried out
Finding the right challenge
What does it mean to be challenged? I've found the greatest satisfaction in life comes from times I've pushed myself to try something new, or tried something I didn't think I could achieve and then succeeded at it.
One Bite At A Time: Partitioning Complexity
A recent programming project of my own reminded me that just because I can't handle lots of complexity at once, it doesn't mean I can't program. I can program, but because of my weakness I use a style that partitions complexity instead of consuming it whole. Here are the elements of that style.
Write Dumb Code
The best way you can contribute to an open source project is to remove lines of code from it. We should endeavor to write code that a novice programmer can easily understand without explanation or that a maintainer can understand without significant time investment.
Save Side Effects for Last
Over time, I've noticed a design heuristic that has helped me immensely over innumerable projects. It's actually quite simple: You can think of it as saving your side effects for last.
Packaging Large Node Projects With RPM
Despite being an old technology, RPMs provide many advantages when it comes to packaging software, such as verification of contents, and resolving of package dependencies. An RPM also ensures that we get the same version of code when installing across all machines in the deployment pipeline which is essential when utilising horizontal scaling. It's for these reasons we use them at the BBC.
Caviar's Word2Vec Tagging For Menu Item Recommendations
At Square's Caviar food ordering platform, one way we connect diners to great food is with restaurant and menu item recommendations. Rather than presenting a single overwhelming stream of recommendations, we segment them into distinct recommendation collections, each characterized by a common theme (e.g., "Delivery Under 30 Minutes", "Pizza", and "Recommended For You"). Individual collections are powered in various ways, including category taggings like cuisine type and dietary restriction, editorialized "best of" lists, custom algorithms, and machine learning:
Customer Satisfaction at the Push of a Button
HappyOrNot terminals look simple, but the information they gather is revelatory.
China Loves Trump
The people love a winner. The leadership loves a dupe.
Why does Costco sell luxury items?
When I shop at Costco, I saw they sell $20,000 diamond rings and $17,000 bottles of 60-year-old whiskey. Why do they sell stuff like that at Costco (which is a discount wholesaler)? I mean, if you're in the market for an uber luxury item, would you really get it at Costco?
Kenya's Dangerous Path Toward Authoritarianism
A recent media blackout has raised questions about the strength of democracy and the judiciary in East Africa's most economically powerful nation.
Chinese police are using facial-recognition glasses to scan crowds for wanted criminals
Chinese railway police are using facial-recognition sunglasses to catch suspects at train stations in Zhengzhou, the capital of central Henan province.
The Plot Against America
Decades before he ran the Trump campaign, Paul Manafort's pursuit of foreign cash and shady deals laid the groundwork for the corruption of Washington.
Engineering Marvel of the Winter Olympics: A Broom
Flemming and Fowler, both 29, along with their friend and business partner, Will Hamilton, 37, were pouring their creative energies into a high-tech training device the likes of which the sporting world had never seen. They were building a better broom.
Bring On The Bikocalypse
Chinese cities have been overtaken by the chaos and clutter of dockless bikes. American cities should follow their lead.
Pizza is a healthier breakfast than most cereals
Cold pizza, microwaved pizza, store-bought frozen pizza... It doesn't matter what kind of pie is on your plate this morning - it's probably a healthier breakfast than a bowl of cereal.
America's Military Is Choking on Old Technology
As its rivals invest in new military hardware, Washington is stuck refurbishing obsolete equipment.
John Perry Barlow's "Principles of Adult Behavior"
John Perry Barlow is an activist, writer, former lyricist for the Grateful Dead and co-founder of the Electronic Frontier Foundation. He's also an engaging Twitter-er who gets my attention with concise, insightful original tweets and great quotations.
Fractured Lands: How the Arab World Came Apart
From the bestselling author of Lawrence in Arabia, a piercing account of how the contemporary Arab world came to be riven by catastrophe since the 2003 United States invasion of Iraq.
Faceswapping, Unethical Videos, and Future Shock
I was going to tell a science fiction story about faceswapping, and mass blackmail. Then the news broke about unethical faceswapping videos, and software designed and marketed for creating them: and I realised the future had arrived faster than I thought.

Ashes to Ashes Series 2 reaches its thrilling conclusion on Monday evening – and with rumours that there will be no series 3, it could be the end of everything in the world of Gene Hunt, Ray Carling and Chris Skelton.
Will we learn the truth? Will it finally be revealed just where Alex Drake – and possibly Sam Tyler before her – found themselves after their accidents?
In the meantime, there's a heist on the go in the season finale, with some corrupt cops planning to jump in and hijack the Gold Bullion for themselves.
Seeing this as his chance to cut the throat of the corruption that is sucking the life out of the Metropolitan Police, DCI Gene Hunt (Philip Glenister) identifies this as the moment to strike and make a difference.
Interestingly just as it looks as though CID have got their chance, Hunt finds his head turned by the attractive Jenette, who is surely involved in one of the bullion plots.
It's Alex Drake (Keeley Hawes) who is likely to be more in danger however. Following the matter-of-fact comings and goings of the older Martin Summers and his apparently insane and illogical act last week, Alex is desperate to return home. She's hearing more and more from 2008 and truly believes her time in the 1980s is up.
Which expressed as odd behaviour leaves DCI Gene Hunt in a difficult position – can he trust DI Alex Drake?
Ashes to Ashes Series 2 Episode 8 is the conclusion to the 2009 series of the Life on Mars spinoff. and potentially the end of the show and Gene Hunt.
Don't miss it!

Siena, Italy
We first traveled to Siena for a friend's wedding, and were lucky to return earlier this month for another romantic celebration, this time at the incredible Stomennano, a tiny Tuscan village built on top of Etruscan and Roman ruins. (https://stomenanno.it)
Siena is incredibly sophisticated and beautiful, the people are so warm, and it is one of the most well-preserved historic centers in all of Italy. While you'll rarely see a car inside of its walls, if you can make it in time for July 2nd or August 16th, you'll get to see the Palio de Siena, a horse race that's been around since at least 1644. Ten horses and riders (who ride bareback) get dressed in the colors that represent ten of the seventeen contrade of the city. If you go, make sure that you get the coveted seats near the finishing line. Not just because you will be at the center of the excitement, but you will be in the shade of the old buildings.
If you don't make it for the race, Siena is romantic, small and there are many beautiful Medieval buildings to view year round. And, it's less crowded than Florence.
Here are a few of our favorite things to do when in Siena:
- Piazza del Campo is the heart of Siena, and impossible to miss. Have drinks in the shade in the early evening. You must have a spritz, which is proseco wine with a dash of some bitter liquor such as Aperol or Campari, topped with sparkling water. Delicious!
- Climb to the top of Torre del Mangia. To reach the top of the tower you have to climb 400 steps, but the views of the town and surrounding countryside are well worth it.
- Every Wednesday it's market day in Siena. The biggest market in Tuscany is held at La Lizza, an area near the old fortress, from 8:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. They sell food, clothes and also souvenirs.
- Traditonal food at La Taverna di San Giuseppe
- Delicious Italian at Bagoga and Enoteca i Terzi
- Pasticceria Bini for the best pastries in town
- Antichità Monna Agnese with jewelry shop opposite for antiques worth sending home.
- There is an outdoor antique market on the third Sunday every month at Piazza del Mercato.
- Cravattificio di Siena for beautiful scarves
- Rent a villa outside the city and have a car.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (KFVS) - After a tornado caused major damage in Cole County, Missouri the governor surveyed the area.
Meteorologist Grant Dade said at least four tornadoes touched down in Mo.
According to a preliminary report from the National Weather Service the tornado in Jefferson City was an EF3 with peak winds of 160 mph and a path of nearly 20 miles.
The width was 1500 yards. It started in Cole County and ended in Callway County, Mo.
There were 11 injuries and 0 deaths with this tornado.
An estimated 500 homes and buildings believed to have sustained damage to determine which are safe and which should be evacuated.
On Saturday, the Missouri Structural Assessment and Visual Evaluation (S.A.V.E.) Coalition is expected to evaluate about 200 additional structures in Cole County that are reported to have been damaged.
A tornado in Golden City was also an EF3. It had peak winds of 142 mph and a path of 12 miles.
It started in Jasper, Mo. and ended in Golden City. The twister was on the ground for 22 minutes. There were three fatalities and 1 injury.
According to officials with with Governor's Office, Gov. Mike Parson was out in Jefferson City on May 23.
A post on Gov. Parson's Facebook page reminds residents and visitors to stay away from the areas where cleanup is happening to allow crews to work.
Heartland News reporters were at the scene to cover the devastation. They claim people heard sirens and took cover and say they are thankful everyone is okay. Their motto today has been "I may have lost my things but I didn't lose my life."
"About 3 seconds into it bathroom door flies open and that's when you see this stuff here and I shut it back real quick and by the time I shut the door it was done it was already moved on through it was pretty quick ... just 10 seconds destruction," said Austin Sayer, a resident.
Residents at some apartments there are thankful to still be here after the tornado ripped through the area. "I just feel like god was watching over me and my stuff," said Brekkyn Feese.
Feese was at a friend's house when the tornado crossed over her apartment.
"I went to work not knowing if i had a home. Because we tried to get to it last night and this morning and we couldn't get near it," Feese said. Luckily when she got back, all she was missing was a few shingles but unfortunately her neighbors weren't as lucky. "I just feel really bad for them, you know some of them have kids, so I just feel really bad," said Joshua Stephan.
He was home with his two small children, and he thinks the memory of the tornado will stay with his son for a long time. "He's already when it started to rain this morning, he was freaking out and trying to hide under the kitchen table."
The Lowe's in Jefferson City is taking money donation plus collection personal items for the victims. You can donate by stopping in the store or calling them at (573) 638-2400. Their address is 3441 Missouri Blvd, Jefferson City, MO 65109.
The Red Cross has opened a shelter for storm victims.
A press conference was held around 6 a.m. Thursday morning to update residents on the situation.

Artist Notes: What a festive and fun way this card is to say Happy Birthday to all the special people in your life - whether friends, family or work associates. The card features a row of colorfully patterned and decorated candles, with diagonal stripes, polka dots, flowers and swirls on the candles of blue, green, pink and orange, on the black background. The result is a colorful line-up of candles, with flames atop, ready for the birthday celebration to begin. The hand lettered message, "Happy Birthday", is above the candle flames, in alternating brightly colored letters, that match the candle colors. The inside wording is "Hope your birthday sparkles!""
There's just something about a paper greeting card that never loses its charm for some of us. We like to hold the greeting in our hands, feel the crisp paper, run our fingers over the words and pictures as if we were trying to absorb the essence of the message. Most of all we like to see the handwritten notes and the signatures of our loved ones. While ecards may be viewed instantly and forgotten over time, printed cards can be saved, cherished and shared for years. Although ecards have replaced printed cards in many instances as the more convenient, inexpensive and quick mode of wishing one another, printed cards still retain that special quality that electronic messages cannot convey effectively.

There is an overwhelming amount of items you can download on this website so it might be a good idea if you have an idea of what you are looking for so you can type it in the search button. I typed in Christmas for my most recent search. There are a ton of botanicals if you want to do a gallery wall of botanicals too…I know that is popular right now)
If your customer would be benefitted by having the high-res or high color print professionally printed, suggest it. Even if it's at your local Staples® make the suggestion to save them time and aggravation. If your products are business forms, to-do lists, etc., a home printer will do, so let them know. Have your cover sheet also include any specific instructions about your product, and a thank you.
About NotedTravelers: A few years ago, while obsessively researching packing lists for trips to Ireland, I heard about Traveler's Notebooks. There were pictures of lovely watercolor paintings and descriptions of overseas adventures. Well, I thought, I'll be traveling soon and I occasionally write notes. This must be the perfect thing for me, nevermind that all of my previous attempts at journaling had been non-starters.
Hello planner fans. I have been wanting to design these for the longest time, since they are more of a planner accessory rather than planner stickers and I hadn't found the right digital paper for these tab dividers. I think you might enjoy these foldable tab dividers, for either your art journaling, planner organization or bible journaling or other papercrafting use.
We want you, your friends and family to have 1 Happy Birthday/Feliz Cumpleaños.

So the moral of the story is that success takes time and it's all in your head. In my first 18 months on Etsy, I made less than $1000. In my second 18 months on Etsy, I made $30,000. What changed? I did. Now, looking back over this whole experience, I've taken inventory of the mindset shifts, the skills, the resources, and the knowledge that has helped me get to this point and I've created an online, self-paced course called Passive Income with Printables. It contains everything I would have LOVED to know when I started.

My Plan, Do, Review kit continued to sell, but I had another collection of useful templates bubbling in my mind. Before I had even ever started this blog, I had been using a system called the Ultimate Life Binder as a way to keep track of my life. It was my central hub for setting goals, measuring my progress, and generally just being aware of where I was, where I was going, and what I was working on a day to day basis. It was comprised of life-management printables that I had printed out from my findings on the web and some that I had created myself to suit me even more personally.
Hi Angie! Just wanted to contact you about using a couple of your vintage portraits on our church website. We're doing a promotion for our church directory, trying to encourage folks to get in and get their photos taken and I wanted to do a slide using the couple that could be a wedding photo and the one of the grandma in the garden. While it's not exactly a "commercial" use, it's a little more than a "personal" use so I wanted to be sure and have permission before using them! I'm a big fan of your blog and Facebook page and have gained so much inspiration from you! Thanks so much!
Cover Verse: To my Wife my Best Friend You've been there to laugh with me, to cry with me, to be proud of me, and to be happy for all the good things in my life... Inside Verse: You've also shared my disappointments and listened as I worked out my thoughts and feelings about so many things that troubled me... You're the most important part of my world, and you always will be. I love you. Happy Birthday
I sell physical prints mostly out of the fear of someone reselling. Like you said, they could still do that with a physical copy by scanning but at least that's a little more of a hassle. I'd also hate to see my art printed on shitty paper or the colors are completely off because the buyer (or print service they use) doesn't put in the effort to get the colors just right.
Definitely an idea but less time consuming to do just one or the other. Also I'm thinking of the confusion for the customer. From what I see some digital download shop owners will offer physical prints but they do it as a "blank" store item customers can buy and then reference the image they want printed so I might do that. Do you sell digital downloads or physical prints?
These planner stickers are specifically designed for fans of the MAMBI Happy Planner (vertical) or similar Week At A Glance Planners or other vertical weekly planners such as the Plum Paper Planner or Erin Condren Life Planner. The functional planner stickers, especially the box stickers, are sized to fit within the vertical columns and boxes specifically for the Happy Planner. Keep in mind that the full boxes are sized at 1/4″ taller than your vertical boxes for the Erin Condren Planner and sometimes the designs can not be cut down for your Erin Condren. A new planner that many of you are using these stickers for is the Passion Planner, so I thought I would mention that as well.
Cover Verse: There are in the end three things that last: faith, hope, and love, and the greatest of these is love. 1 Corinthians 13:13 Inside Verse: Though your heart must hold deep sadness right now, may it also hold the blessings of the love that will always be a part of you... Praying that God will comfort your heart, uplift your spirit, and carry you through this time of sadness.
Patty Hill was a kindergarten principal in Louisville, Kentucky, developing various teaching methods at what is now the Little Loomhouse;[6] her sister Mildred was a pianist and composer.[7] The sisters used "Good Morning to All" as a song that young children would find easy to sing.[8] The combination of melody and lyrics in "Happy Birthday to You" first appeared in print in 1912, and probably existed even earlier.[9]
A couple of years ago, I shared this post about an incredible resource for printing vintage botanical art prints – Botanicus – the free, Web-based encyclopedia of digitized botanical literature from the Missouri Botanical Garden Library. When I found that resource, I couldn't believe how many incredible and totally free images were just out there on the web to be printed and framed. It's a budget decorator's dream! I really didn't think it could get any better – BUT IT JUST DID!

While perusing another decor blog I came across a great site for inexpensive art. It is called Vintage Printables and is full of options for your walls. All you have to do is look through the art, find the perfect print and take it to Kinkos to have it blown up. All in all it should cost you a few bucks, minus the frame which I suggest HomeGoods for those. Or even Goodwill…you can always find a used frame there and spruce it up with some spray paint!
A year passed. 2014 was drawing to a close and I had made a whopping total of...$186.00 Then, in December of 2014, I decided to put together something that was a little more exciting than a single page printable. I created what I called the "Plan, Do, Review" kit. It was super simple but useful, and yes - assembled painstakingly with Picmonkey. (Pssst! I no longer sell that kit in my Etsy store, but you can get it here for free with this secret link ;) >> Click HERE for the Plan, Do, Review kit.)

Best Camera for Beginner Photographers
Buying your first camera can be tough, expensive and time consuming. I can tell you I have personally wasted a lot of money on cameras early on that probably weren't the best choice. I've also wasted a lot of money switching camera brands along the way. I started with Nikon, switched to Canon and now I am team Sony which has been a lot of buying and selling. I also had bad advice early on so hopefully this blog post will give you some good ideas to think about when looking at what camera you want to buy first.
Things to Consider When Buying Your First Camera
Price: This is probably your biggest driver when getting your first camera. Camera equipment is expensive and if you want to get into photography you will need something that's a step up from a simple point and shoot. The biggest thing you will want/need is a camera that allows you to manipulate all of the settings such as shutter speed, aperture and ISO. So no matter what your budget is, at least get that function so you can start learning how to control the different parts of a photograph.
Quality: Quality and price do tend to go hand in hand, however, sometimes you will be paying for a band name rather than a good quality camera. A Leica camera is an awesome camera but will start at around $1000 and offer generally the same features that you could get for the Sony RX100 pictured above. You will want a camera that offers good quality but you won't want something that is top of the line. I do recommend getting a camera that you could continue to grow with.
Brand: I'd strongly recommend figuring out what brand you want to go with now and doing your best to stick with it as you grow as a photographer. Typically what happens is you will buy a camera body which can vary greatly in price. Then you will purchase lenses to go on that camera body. Pretty soon you will have a camera body with a handful of lenses. The issue here is that camera lenses are not interchangeable with different camera brand bodies. Each company has their own proprietary lens mount which makes lenses only mountable to one camera brand body. So let's say you buy a Canon 7D Mark II as your first body and get a whole bunch of Canon lenses and then decide you want to go to a Sony, you will have to sell all of your lenses and Canon body and then buy a new Sony and all new Sony mount lenses. This is obviously pricey.
One mistake I've made is I always bought the camera that my buddy recommended rather than what was the best item on the market. The bottom line…. Do your research. I personally recommend Sony. I think their mirrorless systems are the best on the market. I've had Canon, Nikon and now Sony and I believe they offer a product that is superior. But, that's just me.
Ability to grow: Your last consideration should be… can you grow into your camera? If you buy a little point and shoot you will most likely grow out of in pretty quickly and then have to spend more money again in the near future. I recommend finding a camera that can accept interchangeable lenses rather than one with a built in lens. Also find a brand that has a various levels of cameras from entry to expert so you can grow with them.
So what Camera should you buy?
That's a great question. I am sure I don't hold the answer but here are some recommendations. I will go from cheap to expensive. Again, I am team Sony over here so that's what I recommend. That doesn't mean that the other brands don't offer good options… I just like Sony, if I didn't say that enough already.
Least Expensive Beginner Camera
The Sony RX 100 is a great starter camera because you actually get a pretty decent quality camera for around $370. The camera comes in a manual mode so you can learn how to adjust the settings. In addition the camera weighs in at just half a pound and is around 4 x 2.5" so it's really easy to throw in your pocket if you're traveling around. The 20.2 mega pixel CMOS sensor will ensure that any photos you capture are high resolution and could be blown up and framed if desired.
In addition the camera has an ISO setting of 125-6400 which allows you to do some low light shots, although the camera isn't going to perform to well at higher ISOs, that is typically reserved for the higher end cameras. One of the best features is the Zeiss 1.8, 28-100mm zoom lens. That gives you a pretty wide range aperture range so you could practice using your depth of field. Finally the 28-100mm zoom isn't amazing but it does give you a fairly decent range to work with.
Some of the cons with this camera is that you will outgrow it quickly, the lenses are not interchangeable and you will have poor low light shots. This is very much a beginner camera and wont be something you'd stick with for very long. However, it's a great one to try if you want look into becoming a photographer without breaking the bank.
Mid Range Beginner Camera
The Sony a6500 is an APS-C camera meaning its sensor is slightly smaller than a full frame camera. The sensor is big enough to get some incredible shots and this is actually my go-to travel camera/back up camera. The photo quality is good enough that if you captured a great photo that you wanted to blow up as a print you could make it pretty much as large as you like.
I originally purchased the Sony a6500 after I was looking for a camera that offered great quality shots but was also light and portable. My goal was to use this as a travel camera. After using it for a month I was so impressed that I sold all of my Canon gear and made the switch to Sony. The crazy thing here is that I owned the Canon 5d MkIV, one of their flagship full-frame top of the line cameras. This means that Sony's mid-line camera impressed me so much it convinced me to ditch my top of the line Canon…
I would suggest the a6500 one as a great option because you can swap out lenses as you start to build you lens collection and the lenses you buy for the a6500 could also be used on a full frame camera if you decided to go that route later on. In addition, the camera comes with a lot of the nice bells and whistles such as wi-fi, add-on apps and the ability to attach external batteries or a flash.
Finally, the a6500 performs much like a high end camera with a 24.2 mega pixel sensor, 425 auto focus points (meaning it auto focuses really well), 11 frames per second continuous shooting (meaning it can take a lot of photos really fast for sports or wildlife photography), and a 4k video (meaning it takes really nice video).
For a body you would pay around $1100 and a lens can run you anywhere from $300 on up. I currently run the camera with a Zeiss 16-70mm f/4 lens which is an excellent combination.
If you want a more detailed review of this a6500 I did a full write-up here.
Best High End Beginner Camera
With the Sony A7III I use the term "beginner" very loosely. In fact, this camera is absolutely incredible and is used by professional photographers around the world. The A7III is a full frame camera that came out after the A7RIII (the camera that I use as my go-to). In some arenas the A7III actually out performs some of the A7RIII's capabilities and does it for around $800 less. If you want the bottom line on this camera I would say it's an absolutely phenomenal camera for a somewhat affordable price. The A7III body will run you around $2,000 and lenses are around $300 on up. However, if you're going to splurge for this one, I'd recommend getting a good lens to match so you don't lose all the great quality that you get from the camera.
I'd recommend getting this camera if you've decided you're ready to be a professional photographer. If you buy this camera you won't need to upgrade for a long time and if you do upgrade this is a great camera to use as a backup/secondary camera.
What makes the A7III so great? Well for starters it features a full-frame 24.2 MP sensor that has some of the best low light capabilities on the market. The AF features a 623 point phase detection with 93% coverage. Now if you are just getting into photography I know that might not mean anything but to break it down nice and simple… it means it does a great job of focusing on the object you're trying to capture.
One other thing I should point out is the A7III comes with 4k video capabilities… So if you're looking to also get into videography this camera would again be an excellent choice.
So what makes this camera a beginner camera? Well again, it's not really a beginner camera but it's more of a beginner-ish price. Your only set back on this camera would be the 24.2 megapixel sensor. For reference, the A7RIII features a 42 megapixel sensor. However, this difference can also set you back. Fewer megapixels can lead to better low light qualities. In addition a 42MP sensor can drastically slow down your editing time if you don't have a super fast computer. However, a larger sensor will capture more information which can be beneficial in post editing. There are plenty of times that I have imported a photo into LightRoom and thought it wasn't going to edit. However, because the A7RIII has such an incredible sensor it captures a ton of information that can be edited.
In the end, the 24.2 megapixel sensor will still produce some amazing photos and you probably wouldn't notice much of a difference until you started to blow the photos up for super large prints. To be honest, I wish the A7III was available when I purchased the A7RIII because I would have saved myself a lot of money and I'd have one amazing camera to work with.
The Take Away
Ok so I have been crapping on about all of these cameras for awhile now but here's my abbreviated recommendation. The camera you purchase should be scaleable in the sense that you should be able to grow with it. Photography equipment is very much in the arena of "buy once, cry once". Most often people purchase a budget camera, with budget lenses and then outgrow their camera quickly and then want to upgrade. If I could recommend one thing to a beginner it would be to buy the Sony a6500 and a 50mm lens and use that until you get the hang of photography. The reason is that we as humans tend to see the world at around 50mm so you will photograph what you see (ok so for anyone reading this who's a photography nerd, yes I know the APS-C turns a 50mm into more of a 75mm focal length, but you get the idea). In addition a 50mm prime lens combined with the a6500 with produce some incredibly crisp shots. By shooting a 50mm fixed length you will be forced to capture the shots you want by getting creative, rather than just zooming and zooming out. I personally believe that a good photographer uses additional lenses to simply enhance their photography skills rather than act as a crutch. The bottom line, if you can capture great photos with that combination you will absolutely crush it when you start upgrading your lenses and camera body in the future.

Only negative was having to pay for parking, but this didn't diminish the stay in any way.
All in all a very good stay.

Helpful Advice To Purchase The Right Auto Insurance
Auto insurance policies can be confusing, and you can easily put yourself at an unnecessary disadvantage if you do not take the time to inform yourself before getting your policy. The most expensive policy is not always the best policy either. Why not take the time to read through the following tips? They can help you get the most for your money.
If your car is considered a classic vehicle, you can get what is known as classic car insurance. This is often far less expensive than traditional insurance. If your car is of extreme value though, you will want to insure it for enough to replace it in the event it is wrecked or stolen.
You can save money on your auto insurance if you are in a position to drop collision coverage. You might consider doing so if your vehicle is paid off and if you have enough in savings to cover the car's replacement cost. The value of older cars drops dramatically, and if you're willing to take on some out-of-pocket risk, you can save on your premiums.
Rental car policies vary, but most allow only an immediate relative, who is of age, to drive the rental car. Be sure to pay special attention to the rental contract as it will state who is allowed to drive the car. Some rental companies will require anyone driving to sign the agreement and provide their driver's license. It is also possible for the rental company to charge an additional fee for additional drivers.
Your teenage driver may be eligible for a number of discounts that could make auto insurance more affordable, so be sure to ask. Some companies will give a discount to good students with a GPA above 3.0. Your teen's premiums may also gradually decrease as they accumulate a safe driving record. Defensive driving courses and a car with plenty of safety features can also get you a cheaper policy.
You have to know that the kind of vehicle you drive will affect the cost of your insurance. Perhaps you can afford a nice sports car right now, but can you afford the insurance on the long term? Do some research on how much your insurance is going to cost you before you buy a new vehicle.
The tips that were stated above were written to help you get the right policy as well as the most insurance for your money. You will be wise to take the time revisit this information before you sign up for your car insurance policy. You may end up with significant savings and you can avoid common pitfalls.

So, you've set the date for your next walk, run or team event.
How can you help to ensure that it's a fundraising success?
Realistic Goals
I'm a big believer in stretch goals and pushing hard to do better than you did last year. But, you need to be able to set goals you can actually achieve. Sometimes nonprofit executives and board members pressure their fundraisers to go way beyond what they can reasonably expect to fundraise. You should never allow this to happen. Rely on your fundraising pros to develop a realistic goal. Remember, you want to make sure your participants succeed, and the way to do that is to have your goals be realistic. You can then work to make sure and support your teams in their own financial goals toward the overall fundraising total.
Effectively Tell Your Story
When you are doing a team event, you must be able to tell your story in a compelling way that will call people to action. Individuals and teams who will be participating in the event need to be able to share the story of your organization and the people it serves. This means that you need to provide them with a great overarching narrative and supporting stories they can share and promote within their own spheres of influence. Developing the storylines that your supporters and champions will want to share is a very important aspect of your overall strategy. Take the time to carefully craft a solid narrative and supporting stories that your team participants can effectively use.
Promotion, Promotion, Promotion
Once you have set your goals and developed your story line, you want to promote your event everywhere it makes sense. This is not the time to be shy. Place banners on the home page of your website. If your nonprofit has a blog, write high quality content that is related to your team fundraising event. In other words, you don't need to write articles directly related to your event. What you can do is to publish posts on how supporters can be successful during team events. You can also write stories about the people who are benefiting from your organization's work.
Send out regular emails and electronic newsletters to your supporters informing them about your fundraiser, asking them to sign-up and support the event and also providing them with easy ways to share their own fundraising efforts within their circle. Make sure any individual and team pages that are sponsored and supported by your nonprofit are easy to navigate and use by your champions. Use social media and encourage participants to also promote the event on their own accounts. Regularly provide news and updates.
Call To Action
Ask, ask and then ask again. During the course of your promotion efforts, always provide creative and multiple ways for individuals to support your fundraising event. Begin by asking your current champions to join you in your team event. Then ask and help them in their efforts to recruit others to join them by either participating in the event or financially donating to it. As you continue to spread the word and promote your team fundraiser, keep asking individuals to support your efforts and spread the word themselves. This is the time when you want to not only use your email list, but also leverage your followers regularly across your social media accounts.
Thank You
There are nonprofits that are excellent in their call to actions, but oftentimes, many may ask but forget to thank. You can never thank your supporters and champions enough! Make sure when supporters sign on to your event that you thank them and acknowledge their financial gift. But, also take the opportunity to thank all who are part of your efforts along the way. Remember, it takes time and work for your champions to fundraise for your team event. That means you need to convey your appreciation. You should also remind them and create acknowledgements that allow them to easily thank supporters they recruit.
