In our opinion, one Facebook newsfeed is already enough to handle. But, it looks like Facebook has begun testing out multiple feeds for mobile.
The thought is that users could create categorized feeds to help them sort their various interests. Facebook began testing this feature back in October, and reports are now coming on how users like it.
Previews of the new feature look similar to Twitter's newsfeed, sorting the posts using image tiles. But, the overall functionality is designed to be similar to Facebook Paper, which was released in 2014. Facebook Paper functions much like a digital newspaper or magazine.
Facebook is adding customizable interest-based feeds. A newspaper made up of all the world's newspapers. pic.twitter.com/Ll7pib6Mb5
— Jason Stein (@jasonwstein) December 29, 2015
When multiple feeds become available, users will be able to follow different sections and sort posts in the way that best suits their interests. So, maybe multiple feeds will be a good thing after all, since they will give you more control over the content you see. For now, feedback on the beta tests at least seems to be positive.
And, don't forget that Facebook is also testing out Facebook Live, for live video streaming, as well as a new event search feature.

Becoming a paramedic is an incredibly fast-paced, but rewarding career that, as the public, we would be lost without. It takes a very compassionate, dedicated individual to take on the tricky role.
Requirements For Becoming A Paramedic
There are many different hurdles that you must overcome before you can even begin your training or consider applying for a paramedic vacancy.
There are two routes in which you can go down to become a paramedic depending your preferred way of learning. If you are more of an academic individual, who would prefer to learn the theory aspect of the role before gaining experience, your recommended route would be to do a degree in paramedic science. It will take three years to gain your degree, but once completed you can jump straight into a full-time role.
On the other hand, if going to university is not your cup of tea, you can instead apply for a student paramedic course. Here you will take an apprenticeship approach, where you will learn on the job whilst training. You must have at least 5 GCSE's to apply including Maths, English and Science.
Medical and Fitness Check
Once you have chosen the pathway that suits you best, you must next pass a full medical check and fitness test. These are mainly to check whether you can lift and carry patients and equipment safely and keep up with the fast-paced job. The fitness test will consist of three main categories, cardio, physical strength and flexibility. For full information on each aspect involved in a fitness test, take a look at this full NHS guide.
Ambulance Training
For some organisations, it is essential to have completed ambulance training to apply for a paramedic role, and for others, it is simply an added desired skill. Either way, it is always highly recommended to complete a C1 course before submitting applications as it dramatically increases your chance of getting a job. C1 training courses start from around £395 including your test, which may at first seem costly, but does put you at a huge advantage towards your competition. A full medical examination and theory test must be completed before training can commence.
If a job application states that C1 training is a vital requirement, then your training must be complete, and you must pass your test before submitting your application. It is common for organisations to turn you away solely because you are midway through training.
Skills Required For The Role
Although there are many different academic requirements and training you must complete to become a paramedic; you must also be able to show vital personal skills.
The ability to work under intense pressure is vital; you must be able to show initiative and act quickly in emergencies without panicking. You need to be prepared for any situation that may occur and be a keen problem solver. Working under pressure also means that you can intake and act on instructions promptly while remembering to follow all safety procedures.
Communication skills are one of the most important skills when working in a quick paced environment. You must be able to give clear, precise instructions to others; there is no room for mistakes or miscommunication. If there is a sudden change of plan or emergency, every member of the team needs to be kept in the loop.
Teamwork is key as a team of paramedics; it is impossible to do the job alone without any extra assistance. On a busy shift, the more team members, the better, so you need to be willing to work together. If you are someone who prefers to be independent and dislikes relying on others, then, unfortunately, a paramedic may not be a suitable role for you.
There are many skills needed to ensure that each call out runs smoothly, but we cannot forget about the fact that you will be dealing with patients who are likely to be in great pain, stress or are incredibly distraught. You must be caring and compassionate; you need to be able to calm down patients and reassure them that you are doing everything in your power to resolve the situation.
Benefits Of Becoming A Paramedic
Becoming a paramedic brings a huge sense of achievement, it gives you the chance to give back to the community. You will be highly respected by your local community, and there are simply no words to describe the feeling of helping a new mother bring their baby into the world or saving someone's life through your efforts.
One of the biggest benefits of becoming a paramedic is that you will be given a chance to gain experience like no other. No-one can anticipate what each shift on call has to offer, and it all contributes to an extensive knowledge of how to deal with tricky situations. You will never stop learning, and over time, your skills will increase more and more. Experience as a paramedic opens you up to a whole host of prospective job roles if you ever want to get a change of scenery and wish to grow your career. Many paramedic swap being on the road for working in A&E, which will maintain the fast-paced approach, but without the continuous travel. Other potential careers include joining the air ambulance and even working abroad.
As a paramedic, you are likely to be working with the same colleagues over a number of weeks at a time meaning you will get the chance to build a strong relationship with each member of the team. You will all get to know each other's strengths and weaknesses to contribute to positive morale and smooth running procedures.
As a paramedic, you must always be prepared for the unexpected, you can never anticipate what your day may consist of or the emergencies you may be faced with. You will often work closely with the police force and the fire service; all roles come hand in hand. On a day to day basis, you will have many responsibilities including responding quickly to 999 calls, performing medical examinations on patients, giving any required medication or using equipment and many more.

Successful Active Woman featuring the inspiring Meal Plan Addict, Steph.
My Story
I'm Steph. I am a contract project manager by day – turning ideas into reality for the clients I work with. By night, I am a food blogger, and the creator of Confessions of a Meal Plan Addict (www.mealplanaddict.com).
I spent nearly 10 years working hard (and not always smart!) to build a successful career and a family. In the meantime, I neglected my health and became an unhappy with my health, fitness and the way I felt about myself.
I needed to find balance. Last year, I decided the project that needed the most attention was ME. I became a runner, got a dietician, and changed my life to create my own happy.
Just as I had used food to get to an unhappy place, I used food to turn it all around! I became a meal plan addict. I got my health and my life organized. I created an amazing amount of happy. I was often asked how I did it, and what did I do – so, I started to confess what I had been up to. I was re-telling my story over and over and getting asked for my recipes and tips and tricks – realizing that there were other women who wanted to change their life – to become healthier, or get organized, the concept of Confessions of a Meal Plan Addict was born.
It started as a single thread on an online mom group. It morphed into my moderated online community with hundreds of members within the first few hours of its existence, then grew into blog with tens of thousands of page views in a month.
My vision-
The vision for Confessions of a Meal Plan Addict is to be THE online resource for cooking once, and eating (healthy food) all week. My vision is to build a community – not just a website.
My vision is not to be in the business of me cooking to fill your freezers. My vision is to enable and inspire YOU to cook once, and eat healthy all week (with really pretty food and a few laughs along the way!)
My motivation-
The emails and messages from blog followers that are inspired by my journey and ideas are my motivation. Who knew so many people wanted the same crazy organized fridge, freezers, and weekly planned dinners that I have?!
The motivation for Confessions of a Meal Plan Addict blog is to provide tips, recipes, and inspiration for anyone to get organized in the kitchen so they can either save money, get organized, adopt healthy eating, or lose weight – whatever their motive is.
My strength
My strength comes from my incredibly supportive family and friends.
For every crazy idea I have (and I have many), there are always those people in my life that not only come along for the ride, but give me the push to take the next hesitant step.
After about a year of me saying "yea, one day I will start that website….one day", my husband purchased the domain and sent a text message saying " you now own mealplanaddict.com – go do it".
It forced me to stop just talking about it – but to do it. It's the people like that in my life that fuel the fire and provide my strength.
Self Care
The most important part of my self-care is sleep.
There are never enough hours in a day to do everything that I want – there never will be! I have come to learn that it's the quality of what I do in those hours that is important, not the quantity of hours.
Sleep is not a flexible item in my schedule that can be sacrificed to squeeze in one more daytime "to do" task. I make it a priority to work smart with the hours I have, and not work hard dragging my day out into the night.
As with life, my website is a work in progress! Right now it reflects where I am at with this business – the beginning.
I love to cook – but only once a week. On www.mealplanaddict.com you will find what you need to know to cook once, and eat all week. Confessions of a Meal Plan addict is your source for the "how to", the inspiration, ideas, and recipes to let you cook once and eat all week.
Fun Facts of Steph
When I am not planning what to eat, cooking, eating, taking photos of food, or writing about it, I am negotiating with a four year old version of myself, and usually yelling at two misbehaved dogs to stop stealing food.
I have a wildly supportive husband that has joined in on every crazy adventure I have had in the last 10 years – and I am sure he agrees, this has been the most delicious adventure to date!
Some fun facts about me that are unrelated to food - I have a Bachelor of Science in Neuroscience and a Master's of Biomedical Technology. I also have a titanium shoulder from a highly unimpressive fall down a mountain while skiing.
→.What would be your number one advice for a Successful Active Woman?
My advice is to always have these 3 people in your life:
A Mentor: this person will provide inspiration for the direction you want to go. This person has a great "been there, done that" lens. Tap into that. Make their lessons learned – your lessons learned.
A Close Friend: bounce your wild and crazy ideas off this person. They are your sounding board, and you are theirs. This person is in the trenches with you – always.
A Mentee: You don't become successful alone. Just as your mentor provides you value, providing mentorship to the next generation is important. Give back.
→.What would be your number one advice for a Woman entrepreneur?
Stop searching for a passion.
Just start doing what you want and like. Once you start doing whatever it is that makes you feel awesome and that you genuinely like to do, you will naturally be surrounded by others that also want to do those things – it will be inspiring and motivating. You will naturally become an expert in whatever it is you are you are truly interested in. The business concept, or product, or idea, or plan will come later. Just start doing whatever it is that you are gravitated to do.

Here's a list of some of my top websites – definitely worth bookmarking if you enjoy African wildlife as much as I do!

6. WildEarth
LIVE Coverage of the African Bush from the Djuma Reserve, in South Africa! Without a doubt my favourite African wildlife website out of them all! Web cams, chat, live safari game drives, bush walks, etc.
In fact, as I am writing to you now I am viewing waterbuck and impalas in real time. How cool is that?! There is so much to discover out there! The other day I also saw some buffalo and elephants, coming down to drink by the waterhole!
To be able to hear the sounds of the wild is even more incredible, especially when you live thousands of miles away from the African continent!;)
I actually got frightened once when I mistakenly forgot to switch off the web cam coverage. All of a sudden I almost fell off my chair…hippo calls from the waterhole:)…it felt as if the animals were just outside in my backyard!
7. African Safari Journals – Latest African Wildlife Sightings!

Way cheaper than SMS (less than 1 South African cent per message)!
The tool is especially useful if you are in one of the reserves mentioned above, and would like to know where to search for animals! The system provides an accurate map with different color markings according to the animal species encountered, and where they were found. For instance, red is for lion, green for white rhino, black for leopard, etc.

Polyglot [Dog]Nation
Since I moved to NYC in July, I frequently compare life here to life in the burbs. I guess this is natural for anyone, but I think it makes even more sense from a writer's perspective--I'm always listening, always comparing, always filing away impressions and observations for later possible use; you get the picture. Anyway, one of the most obvious differences is the heterogeneity of the city's population as compared to that of the burbs. I go out every day and meet and talk to people from many different countries--from Ethiopia, Brazil, Russia, Colombia, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, India, Venezuela, Pakistan, Malta, Korea, Argentina, Japan, China, Albania...I could go on and on. And although most of them have accents, they all speak English.
Although I loved studying languages and studied many languages for many years in public school and college and elsewhere (8 years of latin, 6 years of French, 2 years of Spanish taught by a man who was a native of Portugal, so he threw in some Portuguese as well, 2 years of conversational Spanish provided by my employer, Boston Children's Hospital, one year of Greek), the only language I speak fluently is English. When I've traveled to countries where the native language is one I've studied, I find that after a few days I begin to speak at least a little. But I'm so impressed that people not only travel thousands of miles away from home to come here to live, but also learn to communicate successfully in a language that is not their native one, while at the same time being able to switch back and forth at will.
For some reason--I sometimes attribute it to the fact that I'm a musician, so I have a natural ear--I've always been able to hear the way a language sounds and am able to copy that when I speak it. The benefit is that I feel I'm doing justice to that language, and I'm happy I can. The downside is that sometimes people hear me and assume that because my accent is good, I am fluent in the language. That happened in Paris, it's happened in Spanish-speaking countries, and it sometimes happens here when I make a feeble attempt to speak to a native speaker of another language. Then I can't fake it anymore. I have to admit that no, I can communicate pleasantries with a good accent, but I'm not able to converse.
All of this became quite clear when I brought Moki to the city. I knew I needed to hire a dog walker for him. The first one, Paulo, is originally from Brazil. His native language is Portuguese. Then Andrés came along, and he's Colombian, so Moki started hearing Spanish. I encouraged these folks to speak to my dog in whatever their native language is. Now that Andrés is away for a while, Katarina is the dog walker, and she's from Russia. So she promised she would speak to Moki in Russian. The super in my building is from Malta. The guys who installed my kitchen counters are from Albania. A friend in my chorus who was born in Kyoto loves dogs (and loves my dog), so she talks to him in Japanese.
And the really interesting thing about it is that Moki responds to all of them. I just read some research that claims dogs really do understand words, despite the old rule of thumb that they simply respond to tone of voice or body language. I know that when I say "siéntade" to him, he sits, even though he didn't hear the Colombian Spanish command to sit until a couple of months ago.
The cool part about all of this is that we are a nation of immigrants--a polyglot nation. My grandparents emigrated here from Romania (I speak not one word of Romanian), and most of my acquaintances (even those who trace their beginnings back to the Mayflower or before) have a similar story about where their parents or grandparents or they themselves emigrated from. Learning about all of these interesting people, even for Moki, involves learning about their origins, their languages, their desire to be here. And I find it very exciting. So, Moki, siéntade, or seedyet, or suware, or zit, or senta, or ulu. Or "sit" in any language whatsoever. In that respect, in our own individual ways, we are all alike.

Tesla will add new section (5th) to the Gigafactory by December, Battery cell manufacturing equipment by July 20th
For the most part, Tesla's Gigafactory has looked the same from the outside since the beginning of the year. The first phase consists of 4 sections of about 475,000 square feet for a total of 1.9 million square feet. The final version of the building, which should be completed by the end of the decade, is expected to have 13 million square feet of manufacturing and work space. It should be enough to become the biggest building on earth by footprint and Tesla plans for the factory to produce at least as much battery capacity as the entire world production of li-ion cells.
Now we learn that Tesla is planning to add a new section to the plant with an estimated completion date by the end of the year, according a building permit recently issued to Tesla. expand full story

Tesla is secretly adding over 50 hp to the Model S P90D Ludicrous based on 3rd party testing, what does it mean?
Last year, Tesla had some troubles with the way it calculated the power output of its electric vehicles. The company had to go in mediation with over hundred of its customers in Norway and eventually changed the advertised horsepowers of the Model S P85D from 691 hp to 463 hp.
The issues mostly revolved around defining electric power in terms of horsepower and the power output being dependent on the state of charge of the battery pack feeding the car's two electric motors. The issues have been mostly resolved after Tesla updated its advertised numbers, but since the introduction of the Model X and the 'Ludicrous mode', things have been more complicated again… expand full story

'Lithium' battery capacity degradation is one of the main concerns of electric vehicle buyers and potential buyers. Since the resurgence of electric cars is relatively recent, meaningful long-term data on large battery packs is fairly rare. Only Tesla has battery packs with a capacity higher than 30 kWh on the road in any significant number and they only have been in operation for a few years (Roadster aside).
But a few Tesla owners have accumulated impressive mileage on their vehicles and the data provides an interesting look into potential battery capacity degradation. expand full story

Maimonides Scholars Program
Tikvah Institute to Expand in 2018 and Beyond
A Strategic Grant Focused on Jewish Ideas and Future Leaders
We are thrilled to announce a significant grant from the Maimonides Fund to expand our engagement with high school students, and to continue working intensively with our alumni during their college years. The new initiative will be called the Maimonides Scholars Program, and it will be designed for young Jews from the public and private school worlds who want to deepen their knowledge of Jewish ideas, their attachment to the Jewish people, and their engagement with the big questions of the modern age.
"We are excited about the potential of this new partnership with the Tikvah Fund," said Mark Charendoff, President of the Maimonides Fund. "We think there is a real opportunity here to foster an elite cadre of Jewish teens from all backgrounds who can work together to provide needed leadership in Jewish life on campus and beyond."
Last summer, the Tikvah program convened 60 students from across North America and abroad. With this new investment, our plan is to double the Tikvah program in 2018 to 120 students—with still further growth planned in future summers—and to work with a wider range of Jewish students from across the communal spectrum. The enhanced program will include intensive seminars with some of the nation's preeminent professors and civic leaders, mentorship and experiential learning, and intensive follow-up opportunities for alumni.
"We are looking for young men and women with a real hunger to know more—about Jewish ideas, about Israel, and about America—and a real desire to contribute to the community," said Rabbi Mark Gottlieb, the founder and dean of the Tikvah Institute. "Our aim is to help nourish an emerging group of future leaders with Jewish depth and commitment."
The new Maimonides Scholars Program will be open to rising seniors in public and private high schools across the country. The application and selection process will be intense.
"It is an honor to partner with the Maimonides Fund in this important work, and to marry their tremendous vision and experience with ours," said Eric Cohen, Executive Director of the Tikvah Fund. "We are grateful for this major gift, and we look forward to welcoming the first class of Maimonides Scholars in summer 2018."
For more information, please contact Rabbi Mark Gottlieb, Senior Director, The Tikvah Fund, at email@example.com.
Applications will open in mid-October. Check back soon for more information.

Start with some basic workouts to get the heart pumping with Pace Maker, Make 'Em Stair, and Circuit City.
Here are some basic walking and running interval options. Our bodies were designed to walk and run. As children, we ran joyfully all the time without thinking about it. This week's workouts, Wholy Walkamole, Need For Speed, and Happy Feet will help you incorporate more of that playful walking and running you did as a child into your exercise routine.
You won't be bored when you do circuit training. These workouts The Lone Bell, Head to Toe, and Meet in the Middle will be strength based routines where you move quickly from one exercise to the next to get your heart rate ELEVATED. Circuit training workouts can be done at the gym, outdoors or in your living room. Two of the workouts require some basic equipment and the other requires none.
If you are short on time, get your Tabata on! Tabata is a specific way to do High Intensity Interval training. This training protocol involves performing a particular exercise (or exercises) at high intensity for 20 seconds followed by 10 seconds of rest. This is repeated 8 times for a total training time of 4 minutes! If you want to string multiple tabatas together for a longer workout, go ahead. You may need to dial the intensity down a notch though to get through it, at least until your able. This set of workouts include Apolo Ohno Tabata, a Wholata Tabata, and Twist and Shout.
These workouts are.... COMPLEX! Not to worry! These are not really complex, but quite simple. Complex routines have you move from one strength movement to the next without resting, then after a rest period, you repeat the sequence again. Your 3 workouts for the week…..It's All About That Bar, You Don't Know Squat? and Swinging Bells, are simple yet complex!
Let us introduce to you playground workouts. At one point in our lives we were all children enjoying the fun challenge of playing on the playground. Doing this week's workouts…. Have a Slider, Grassy-Ass (thank you very much) and Park-Core will make you feel like a kid again and provide you with great ideas on how to use that playground equipment, and get your heart rate up.
Let's have a blast! A FAT BLAST! Variety is the spice of life and these workouts will provide you with a wide variety of movements to target the entire body and help you be a fat burning master. Check out The Final Countdown, Spiderman Strong, and Pop a Wheelie, three workouts that will have you feeling strong and confident.

Presented pink color accents in the living room can give a touch of sweet and fun. In addition, pink also makes the living room look more feminine but still be an interesting area to welcome guests.
Yes, the color pink synonymous with feminine colors are not only suitable when applied to women's bedrooms. But pink is also interesting when used for other interior design of the house, such as living room. With the application of pink, living room will look sweet and gives the feel that makes occupants feel good when you are in it.
Pinkpas once if you make a steal accent that makes the living room look more attractive. Pink accents can be present in the middle of the living room dominated by neutral colors like gray. Thus, the atmosphere not only looks beautiful but also more alive and in tune and give a touch of comfort.
To apply, you can choose the color gray as the primary color. Apply shades light gray on the walls to create the impression of a quiet room reassuring and visible light. The gray color that can be re-applied to the element such as a space filler arm chair, curtains or pillows.
Hmmm … to absorb the monotonous splash pink accents by attending a sofa and table. Its presence makes the living room look attractive, beautiful, comfortable, and made guest will feel in awe.

What is Animal Cruelty?
Firstly, how do I define cruelty?
Animal cruelty comes in so many forms - to me cruelty starts with simply ignoring your pet, give no attention or affection to starving, locking them out in the heat/cold with no shelter, or abandoning them on the side of the road. - this is the neglect side of animal cruelty.
We then have people who beat their pets, who organise dog fights using other dogs, cats or small animals to get the bloodlust starting. There are some sick people out there who deliberately aim to hurt animals and it hurts me so much to know that humans can be so cruel.
There are kids learning from their parents - I saw a picture of kids in the back seat of a car with a small dog strung up and they were laughing. The dog wasn't enjoying the experience and that makes me so angry. How dare adults teach such horrible things that kids think its ok to do that.?????
Many a serial killer has sprung from a childhood of being cruel to animals - its not good for kids and certainly not for the animals.
The next kind of cruelty baffles me beyond words - I see it on Facebook and Instagram often - the people for/against Poaching./Trophy Hunting.
Governments, especially in the African continent but also in places like Canada - a country I consider quite civilised- the allow hunting of certain species, including polar bears and the grizzly bears in some cases. This is just not on.
Many excuses come out, culling being one but it is one thing to shoot an animal humanely to keep numbers down and another, entirely, to trap them and terrorise them before killing them. Then, to add insult to injury, they pose with them in various positions proudly showing their catch.
In Africa, with some National Parks having protection for the wild animals and some have safaris for people, like us,, to visit them in their natural environment. People cannot legally come on these lands and hunt the animals however I am sure some have done so. A story not long ago of poachers hunting rhino were eaten by lions in a park. Karma, I say, however this doesn't stop these people. Families taking small kids out to kill our wild animals in their own habitats is horrifying. Getting a family photo with a kill is beyond my comprehension. Good ol' President Trump has now allowed hunters to bring their "trophies" home and this ridiculous obsession many Americans have with this right to bare arms and hunting is just disgraceful.
The obvious solution, one would think, is to punish the perpetrators and hit them where it hurts and throw them in jail- ideally sharing a cell with a passionate animal-loving "Mr Big" who will deal out their own form of justice. I, personally, would love an eye for an eye.. give the person who hurts the animal the same back - but sadly our laws don't permit that.
Jail might be a deterrent for some but it has to be the norm, not just in especially bad cases but all convicted animal abusers should be jailed. We often see they are not permitted to own an animal for xxx of years.. how can they police that? They move in with someone with an animal or a new g/friend or boyfriend gets a pet and that animal does something to annoy them and whammo! The cycle starts again. Most judges, however, are just too soft on animal abusers and animal cruelty cases - they cant even put the victims of murdering humans away for a suitable sentence so I have not got hope for justice for our animals.
What is your stance? Will you stand up for your animals and other animals? Could you take a stand against someone hurting an animal? It wouldn't be easy, granted but unless we stop these people and educate our kids, animals are just not safe in the big wild world.
That doesn't sit well with me.
If you hate it as well, give your pets a hug, treat them well and pass this on to others that have pets. Lets look after our animals, treat them well, most of us treat them like family and many spoil them more than they do the kids!
Spoil your pet today with a new toy or a cute outfit, -a new bed for winter coming

There is currently no question as to whether or not marijuana cannabis exists in the Mat-Su Borough (MSB). The only question you need to ask yourself is whether or not you would prefer to see that cannabis supplied by a criminal black market or by a regulated and taxed market.
A "Yes" vote on Proposition No. B-1 will effectively ban all commercial cannabis businesses from operating in the non-area-wide parts of the MSB, allowing the unregulated market to flourish. A "No" vote will allow businesses to operate and shift the commerce that is already taking place away from the unregulated market, which doesn't exactly have an age verification policy for customers.
How did we get to this point? The state of Alaska passed Ballot Measure 2 (An act to tax and regulate the production, sale, and use of marijuana) in 2014 by a margin of 53.2%. The state has been constructing the regulations that will govern this new industry ever since. Section 17.38.110 "Local Control" in the ballot language set out that local governments would have the ability to prohibit the operation of cannabis businesses by means of an ordinance or voter initiative. Shortly thereafter, a group supporting continued prohibition of cannabis gathered the required signatures to have Initiative Ordinance 15-088 (Proposition No. B-1) on the October 4th ballot, which could prohibit the operation of cannabis businesses except those involving industrial hemp in the area outside of the cities in the MSB.
The cities of Palmer and Wasilla have already enacted prohibitions on operating cannabis businesses within their city limits. The city of Houston is effectively allowing the operation of cannabis businesses by means of a failed vote on an attempt to prohibit operations. If the vote passes and the prohibition is enacted, Houston city limits will be the only area in the entire borough that will accommodate cannabis businesses. It's not difficult to imagine the tax revenue that Houston will gladly accept because of this.
Who knows, maybe we can use their brand new public pool facility they will build with the revenue after all the other cities in the MSB can't afford to fix theirs. Not to mention the new and stable job creation, along with reduced access for minors to cannabis. Don't worry Wasilla and Palmer, you will have another chance in the future to reverse the prohibition after watching the other parts of the state (and hopefully borough) reap the benefits by supporting this industry.
This should help your decision if you are still on the fence about the topic:
There will also be a question on the October 4th ballot regarding whether or not to implement a 5% sales tax on cannabis products. That's right, a sales tax on a product that is already being sold tax-free and will inject the MSB budget with the revenues that are being lost every day there is not a regulated and taxed market in place. If you aren't sure whether or not the MSB is in need of a new source of revenue just dial your district representative and ask them how the budget is looking.
Not to sound suspicious, but consider the fact that one of the main supporters of this initiative owns an industrial farm in the MSB and intends to cultivate industrial hemp. Notice how that was carefully excluded from the prohibition even though hemp is cannabis. This attempt to prohibit something we already voted on undermines our voice and prevents a new industry from starting in an economy that is in desperate need right now.
A "No" vote on prohibition means:
• Strictly regulated access to persons over 21 with identification
• All products are tested by a licensed state testing lab.
• Job and career path availability
• Legal taxable income for the MSB and state of Alaska, and a decline in unregulated sales.
The MSB needs to unite and embrace this sustainable industry and set the bar in Alaska by continuing to pioneer one civil liberty and common sense decision at a time. Vote "No" on Prop B-1 October 4th and dispensaries will be open just in time for Thanksgiving dinner with one less trip to Anchorage.
To learn more about the campaign supporting the movement, "Say No To Prohibition," you can visit the Facebook page, "Say "No'' to Prohibition in the Valley", or visit the website www.savethematsu.org.
Joe McAneney is a tax paying land owner in the Mat-Su Borough and has applied for a retail cannabis business license on Main Street in Talkeetna that will go by the name, "The High Expedition Company''. McAneney looks forward to providing quality jobs to borough residents and helping reshape the negative stigma still surrounding cannabis.

Rachel & Joe's Wedding at Shangri La Springs
Time seriously flies. It feels like just yesterday I was photographing Rachel and Joe's engagement session. We grew this incredible friendship from that day forward, and I'm so lucky to call these two my new friends. Their wedding day was at Shangri La Springs in Bonita Springs, Florida and it was such a beautiful day altogether. I'll admit, I cried behind the camera a few times watching these two say their vows to one another. One of my favorite things from their ceremony was them taking communion together, as their first official act as husband and wife. It was so beautiful, and there wasn't a dry eye in all the people who got to witness this. I'm so happy for you two, and thank you a million for having me there through this journey with you two. Cheers to many more years of capturing your love. Xx
P.S. Rach and Joe LOVE John Mayer just as much as I do, so heres a little John Mayer for this gallery. ;)
Jessica & Brock's Engagements at Irvine Regional Park in Irvine, California
Long story short, Jessica & Brock met in highschool. He had the biggest crush on her, and tried time and time again to win over her heart. Jess and her highschool self wasn't too interested at the time, and friend-zoned Brock. Years later, after they graduated and went off to college, they met back at home one night over dinner with friends. Jessica felt different this time about Brock, and they ended up finally coming together. Brock had won her heart, and he waited for years and years for this moment. It's a real love story, and these two are now engaged and their wedding is in a few months. I can't wait for this celebration and to see these two say their vows.
Their engagement session was at this gorgeous park. & If you know California, you know it just ended its streak of a huge drought. It was amazing to see all the greens here around the park and Jessica's free spirit along with Brock's love for her, came out in all these photos. Plus, they're some of the most gorgeous and sweetest humans ever. You know the drill, press play & scroll. :)
Aimee & Jared's Wedding at Calvary Chapel and Anaheim Packing House

Breaking story from the Globe via Gateway Pundit here:
A second law school, the University of Pennsylvania, has touted Elizabeth Warren as a minority faculty member in an official school publication, according to an online document obtained by the Globe.
The University of Pennsylvania, where Warren taught at the law school from 1987 through 1995, listed her as a minority in a "Minority Equity Report" posted on its website. The report, published in 2005, well after her departure, included her as the winner of a faculty award in 1994. Her name was highlighted in bold, the designation used for minorities in the report.
So it was not a fluke or aberration – it was her modus operandi.
I also want to add this little thought about Elizabeth 'Granny' Warren's claim to be 1/32 Cherokee: Barack Obama, the first black President is half white, which makes him 16 times more white than Warren is Cherokee. Yet, we don't hear the POTUS talking about being white in family folklore. And, George Zimmerman, who is being called a racist, has a great grandfather who is Afro-Peruvian, which makes him 8 times more black than Elizabeth Warren is Cherokee. Yet, we don't hear Al Sharpton defending George Zimmerman, do we? And finally, Michele Bachmann is 100% more Swiss than Elizabeth Warren is Cherokee. And nobody in American even knew Michele Bachmann was Swiss.
The only person in America that used her 1/32 heritage to elevate herself into prosperity was Elizabeth 'Granny' Warren.

What is a Fundo weekend?
FundO, short for fundraising outreach, is the part of Atlas that allows you to leave campus for a weekend and raising money for Thon outside of State College. This will mainly involve canvassing and ribbon sales (find out more about these below). When you sign up (with a friend if you would like), you are placed into a FundO group and sent to a member's house for the weekend. You spend Saturday and Sunday selling ribbons to patrons at storefronts and then going door-to-door soliciting donations. You'll spend the night after hanging out and bonding with the rest of your group! Tons of Atlas members meet their best friends on these weekends. You don't want to miss out!
What are the different ways to get more involved?
Hosting: Host a canvassing group at your house! Any Atlas member can host; you don't have to have gone canvassing before. Check out our hosts guide showing how simple and easy it is.
Driving: We always need members to drive. If you have a car in State College, sign up to drive and you will be guaranteed to be put into a group. Don't worry; those in your car will pitch in for gas!
What is Canvassing?
Canvassing is another one of THON's iconic fundraisers. Simply put, it is door-to-door solicitation. You walk around neighborhoods with an Atlas partner (with whom you will bond with over crazy stories of wacky donors), knocking on people's doors to ask for donations. Unlike canning where there are only be one designated weekend, you can go canvassing any weekend! During a canvassing weekend, you arrive Friday night to bond with your group, canvass Saturday, and return to Penn State Saturday night. Just like with canning, you can get involved more by hosting and driving. Don't miss out on an awesome fundraising weekend with Atlas!
BUT knocking on people's doors seems awkward...
It's not! While canvassing, you get to sleep in so you don't knock on people's door at 7 A.M. Most people are super nice, whether they donate or not. Some donors like to hear more about THON and share their incredible stories with cancer. There's also always a chance to meet some adorable puppies or be fed some delicious cookies as well.
Have you Heard of Ribbon sales?
It's exactly what it sounds like, selling ribbons. This is our replacement for canning. It has many of the fun and thrills of canning, but you'll be dancing around selling ribbons rather than dancing around with a can. We will be doing these throughout the year on our FundO weekends. So if you missed your chance to go canning, this is the next best thing!
But Standing Outside a Store Sounds Terrible…
It's not! Ask anyone in Atlas. It's a lot like canning and you can ask anyone how much they loved that! Most of us wear crazy outfits, dance all day to music, and inspire and entertain each other throughout the day with canning stories in GroupMe. When you get home, you all get to count all the money you made!
2018 Canvassing Weekends
1st Weekend: September 21-23
2nd Weekend: October 19-21
3rd Weekend: November 2-4
2019 Canvassing Weekends

We had a sales meeting this week. I was disappointed with some of the things they shared with me. It wasn't the slowing rate of payments that were most disappointing … although you can't be in the hop industry today and not feel the pain of delayed payments. What bothered me was that apparently when some brewers call in or write they are being very rude and insulting to our sales staff when they don't get what they want. Not everybody behaves this way, of course, but the number is growing. They stand out from their peers as real jerks. Some demand their hop contracts change. Some say their prices are too high relative to spot hop prices or sale prices. Some say we have no right to offer sale prices at all on our website. Some try to lay down the law by dictating new terms for their contracts. Unless they get exactly what they want, some brewers can be rude and disrespectful.
I understand the articles about a "day of reckoning" coming in the craft beer industry might have some brewers nervous. I get that maybe your beer isn't selling as quickly as you hoped a year or two ago. It makes sense that not every Brewer is an expert in contract law. Some of you undoubtedly have bills to pay that are piling up. Maybe brewing beer isn't as easy as you thought it was going to be when you got in the business. There are a lot of reasons to be stressed when things aren't going just right. There's no reason though to be rude to people when you don't get your way. As the old saying goes …You catch more flies with honey than you do with vinegar.
The sales team and I talked for a little while. They vented. I listened. It was good for them to get a lot of their thoughts off their chest. They clearly did not want to say anything at first. They didn't want to come across as complaining or to disappoint anybody. I respect them for that. They were suffering silently. After hearing their problems, I explained to them the way I'd like them to think about things from now on. I told them the customer comes third. First, comes their health and well-being. No job should get in the way of a person's health and happiness. No amount of money is worth that! Secondly, I told them they should look out for the company and the other members of the 47Hops team. Clearly many brewers are reaching a desperate place and are overlooking how their actions may affect others. That makes sense since some of them are having trouble, but it's no justification for bad behavior. I explained that we need to keep their problems in mind, but we also must be mindful that ours is a for-profit business. We cannot let the problems of others interfere with that unless we can find a mutually beneficial solution. The customer, I then explained, comes in a strong third.
That may sound crazy at first glance, but, if we put the customer ahead of our own well-being and that of the company, none of us will have a place we enjoy working. I also told them that if a customer is rude over the phone they could, within reason, unleash a little sass back without any fear of consequences from me. I think they're a little reluctant to go there yet, and I hope they don't get pushed to that extreme. I encouraged them to be firm, stay focused, and not to feel like they have to walk on eggshells with customers who are not polite.
You can easily judge the character of a man
by how he treats those who can do nothing for him.
– Malcolm S. Forbes
If you're a brewer and you call or write in and are tempted to be mean … please remember the person on the other end of the phone or on the receiving end of that email was not the cause of your troubles. Don't cave to the temptation to unleash your stress and anger out on them. We're all of the legal drinking age. Hopefully, that means we can all be nice to one another and act like adults.

I feel a bit bad about sharing this video of an absolutely ridiculous ending to a pee-wee football game. After all, these kids are just fifth-graders and they don't deserve to be mocked.
Still, this video is just too crazy not to share. As you can see at the start of the video, the red team is trailing the green team with just seconds left in the game. The green team squib-kicks to the red team (or maybe that's just how far the kicker can boot it) and the red team races out of bounds, preserving two seconds on the clock for one final play.
The red quarterback reaches back and unloads a 13-yard Hail Mary pass, which is promptly intercepted. Unfortunately, the green player who picked off the ball starts his celebration a little bit too early.
The rest, as you can see, is history. Chaotic history.
Some of the coaches and players seemed to take the loss a little too seriously, like #90 at the 0:38 second of the video (he seems like he might need some anger management classes when he's older).
Come on, kids… heed the advice of the shrill-voiced woman in the video ("are you serious?") and take things a bit less seriously–it's just a game.
