New Reveal for Saleen 1 Sports Car
By Zlatan Stankovic on December 7, 2017
At the Los Angeles Auto Show recently, we welcomed some fantastic new models and it's got us quite excited for the upcoming year. As a part of this, the Saleen 1 was revealed and it looks as though they've held back a little. Rather than going all out with the bells and whistles, the Saleen 1 is compact and surprisingly advanced for this stage of the process.

Our CAP (Confirmation and Pilgrimage) class of high schoolers will be heading to England and France next summer, so I thought now is a good time to share with everyone how we made that decision. It is important to note, first of all, that this is a pilgrimage - not a community service trip, mission trip, or vacation. A pilgrimage is defined as "a long journey or search, especially one of exalted purpose or moral significance" (The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language). This is an important distinction to make as our students embark on this trip - important for them to focus on the journey, and important for the rest of us to know how to support them in the coming year, and while they're on the journey.
I have been one of the teachers of this class for two years along with Jessica Barnhart. Court Wirth joined us last year as Linda Hart 'retired.' Last winter, I was also hired to be the Youth Ministries Director, so I've had a crash course in the whole youth program. One thing I've learned is that it seems like many people don't know much about this program. One of my goals is to make sure everyone in the congregation knows more about the entire program.
Last September, we had a meeting with our students and parents about the upcoming year. One of the things we talked about were our goals for our pilgrimage. We tried to stress the difference between goals and hopes. A goal is something that we have ability to achieve, while a hope is out of our control. In terms of pilgrimage goals, it would appropriate to say that we want to visit as many historical churches as we can because we can take steps to make that happen. It wouldn't work for us to say that we want to feel a sense of epiphany on our pilgrimage, because no matter how hard we try, there is nothing we can do to guarantee something that's out of our control.
With that in mind, we came up with goals such as growing together as a group and bonding, gaining independence, learning about the history of Christianity and Anglicism, learning about new cultures, and meeting new people. Those are all things that we could do, but also things that could be done almost anywhere in the world. We knew that we needed to figure out our goals before we figured out where we were going, because it is more important to find a destination that fit our goals, rather than figure out goals that might fit a destination.
During our classes during the last school year, we used these goals to start thinking about how they are important to our group, and to focus our studies. During the second half of the year, each of our students did a short presentation on a possible destination, with our agreed-upon goals in mind. The students provided thoughtful ideas that were all over the world. Some fit our goals better than others, so we focused on those in the end.
In the spring, we got a taste of what it will be like to travel together, as we went on our Urban Adventure. As a group, we travelled by train to Portland, where our students were put into two separate teams. Each team was given a list of locations with addresses, and they had to navigate to each place, without using their phones or other technology. Each team had an adult with them, but our job was to stand back and let the kids lead the way, even if it meant that we got on the wrong bus, or walked right past one of our locations (both of these things actually happened!). We learned quite a bit about travelling as a group, how to communicate with each other, and some of the strengths of each of our students. As teachers, it was amazingly valuable to be able to observe our students in this 'foreign' situation.
After Urban Adventure, I shared an online poll with all the students and teachers of all the destinations we'd discussed during presentations. Then all three teachers met with Bingham to share all the thing things we'd learned during the trip to Portland, discuss our goals, look at the poll results, and go over the students' destination presentations. Bingham had such great insight to add to the process, as someone who had gone on pilgrimage with past groups. His questions really helped us focus in on the best destination based on our goals and student presentations.
I want to share two of the main things that helped us come to our decision of England and France. First, during the student presentations, most students included more than one country in their plans. We discussed how this seemed like it was very important to many of our students, and how it achieved our goals of learning about different cultures and learning about the history of Christianity. Second, one of the best presentations that was well thought out and well presented was on England and France. We had already decided that one of our destinations would be England, and we were looking into how we could get to an additional country easily and inexpensively, while not taking too much travel time. During the presentation on England and France, the students were clear in explaining how this could work since the two countries are neighbors.
In fact, in our poll, Italy was the country that had the most votes, but we couldn't figure out a way that we could spend the entire pilgrimage in Italy and stay within budget, or a way to get to Italy from England that would meet our travel criteria. While we were disappointed that we wouldn't be honoring the most votes, we were confident that this compromise of offering two different countries would be appreciated by the students.
During our last J2A lesson of the spring, Jessica, Court, and I let the students know of our plans to go to England and France. We had a bunch of travel guides to each country, and started brainstorming locations within each country. During the discussion we had a few different itineraries on the board, some sleeping in a new town every single night. We had to keep going back to our goals, and deciding if our plans lined up with our goals. We decided that going to a different town each day would make it hard for us to really get a sense of each location and its unique history, culture, and people. Remember, this journey should have an 'exalted purpose or moral significance.' It's hard to find much moral significance if we spend more than half our time on trains and buses. We narrowed down our towns, and ended up with towns that fit our goals, and enough time in each to make it feel like more than a whirlwind vacation.
Our itinerary, at least as it stands now, and is very subject to change in the coming year is to fly into London, spend the day exploring, then head to Oxford for a couple days. Then, we're planning on spending two days in Exeter before going to Canterbury. From Canterbury, we'll make our way across the channel to France, where we'll spend a couple days in Paris before flying home.
During this coming year, please keep an eye out for our pilgrims. Let them know you're excited for them and for their journey. Tell them how you'll support them with prayer while they prepare and take their journey. I'm sure they'll appreciate knowing that the St. Mary's community is encouraging them every step of the way.

For most of us the Christmas holiday is over and it's back to work again. Back to work can actually be a good thing when it comes to weight loss and healthy eating because it means getting back into a routine again.
I find that holidays inspire a kind of 'oh whatever' mentality and it's easy to let rip and decide to sort it all out later. Well, later is now and it's time to get back into good habits, before too much damage occurs. It's much easier to face losing a few kilos than it is to keep putting it off and then have to lose a whole lot more further down the track.
Don't even think of going down the desperate detox/magic potion/magic supplement route in the hope of fast fat loss. Fast money and water loss yes, but fast, sustainable fat loss, no. Your body is quite capable of de-toxing itself and it does it every day. Drinking plenty of water is essential for this natural process so keep up with your water intake.
Tips to getting back on track
The first thing to do is to get rid of any treats or tempting food that may still be hanging around, not via your mouth. Then load up your fridge with fresh veggies, some fruit and lean protein. Keep it simple.
We BBQ all year around, it is quick, healthy and it keeps cooking smells out of the house. You can cook meat, chicken fish and vegetables on the BBQ. All you need then is a salad to finish off the meal.
Remember to make your salads interesting, not just a few iceberg lettuce leaves, tomato and cucumber. That quickly feels like a diet. Experiment with different leaves, different colours and different textures. Red onions, rocket, crisp celery, baby spinach, feta cheese, beetroot, these all add a bit of interest to your salad.
Remember to keep all your seeds and nuts in the freezer (or fridge). They will go soft and rancid if they are warm, exposed to oxygen or to light for too long, so the freezer is the perfect place for them. You can use them straight from the freezer. This also applies to LSA, ground linseed, etc.
It's difficult I know, but apply restraint when it comes to all the lovely stone fruit that is in season now. Two fruit servings a day, if your goal is fat loss, is really all you need. Perhaps slice an apricot or plum on your cereal (or cook an apricot in your porridge, that is so yummy) and for the second fruit you might have a pot of yoghurt or some nuts with a peach or nectarine for afternoon tea. Strawberries are getting a bit tired now, but cherries are coming down in price and they are good with lunch instead of another carbohydrate choice for a change. It is great to eat seasonally, but just go easy with fruit. New season's apples should be appearing in the next couple of weeks.
Recipe of the Month
Have a look at this very tasty lamb and feta pattie recipe: Lamb burgers with Mushroom 'buns'.
I'm keeping it short and sweet this month, it's about action, not talk, so contact me and let's get cracking again. Don't worry, there is always an amnesty in January.
Oh and ignore the Easter Eggs that are already on sale. How ridiculous is that. I spotted them on 27 December in The Warehouse. Crazy.

Treasure Island
You are going to be creating a Treasure Map for a special treasure that you have buried on the Isle of Pi. You want to leave a map for your great great grandchildren and you want to make the directions extremely clear.
§ You must transfer the Isle of Pi onto the large paper at a 2:1 ratio by using the grid technique
§ You must have directions that include 2 acute angles, 2 obtuse angles and two reflex angles. The path the treasure hunter would take must be drawn on the good copy of your map.
§ You must create two games or puzzles of chance that would have to be completed so that the treasure hunter could continue along your directions.
o One game must be at least a 1 in 6 chance.
o One game must be at least a 1 in 36 chance.
§ You must give written directions that include the games of chance and the angles at which a treasure hunter would turn.
§ The places where your games take place must be some sort of natural geometric shape that you name.
Design and Creativity
§ Your island must have natural geographical obstacles that have creative names. (eg. Mount Isosceles).
§ All drawings must be neat and colourful.
§ Think of any extras that will make the design of your map stand out.
I originally gave the students a map of an island and all students worked with it but here are some adaptations that could be made:
- Students make there own island and design it with different elements of an island
- Take an overhead view of your school or a park and have the students actually plant a treasure there. Have the students make the directions and puzzles for the school site and then challenge others to find it.
- Use non-standard units of measurement for the students by writing the directions like twelve paces or give something with the directions to use as a measuring tool. A trundle wheel could also be used if you want standard measures.
The originality of the designs students come up with is amazing and they had a lot of fun with this project. I did this one about 5 or 6 years ago and enjoyed it but kind of forgot about it until another teacher in my school told me he was doing it. I had a student teacher at the time so I went up to his room to see how the students were doing with it and was amazed at what was produced. In me current job I am going to try (probably next year) having the students create this on school site so that we could have a day or two of treasure hunting.

Hotspur Way in Enfield, Tottenham Hotspur's new state of the art training complex was opened in late 2012, and is widely recognised as the best training centre in Europe.
At Edwards Sports we are proud to have been involved in supplying sports equipment to Tottenham as part of this ambitious project.
Throughout 2012 we consulted with Darren Baldwin, Grounds Manager to create a bespoke package of products to suit the needs of not only the first team players and management but also the Academy and Development squads. Our scope was to provide equipment including goals and dugouts that were functional for the staff, easy to use for the grounds staff and aesthetically pleasing.
Central to this aim, was the adaptation of our brand new freestanding stadium box goal, a UK first which had been designed in consultation with Everton FC. A sample of these goalposts were provided to Darren and his team who then advised of specific changes which would suit the project at Spurs. Many professional clubs are looking to replicate exact conditions of their stadiums, including turf conditions, pitch dimensions and box style goalposts, at the training ground
Alongside these goalposts we also adapted our standard team shelter to create a bespoke two tier dugout allowing 360° visibility and extensive shelter to players and staff on the sidelines. Our on site team assembled and installed the dugouts as well as w
orking with Spurs Grounds team (Winners of the IOG Grounds Team of the Year 2012 award) to build over 100 goals to a tight timescale ready for opening. Together with the Spurs Grounds team (Winners of the IOG Grounds Team of the Year 2012 award), our on site team assembled and installed the dugouts as well as building over 100 goals, working to a tight timescale ready for its opening.
In addition to the outdoor pitches, Hotspur Way has a covered artificial pitch where we have provided fold to wall goals and aluminium hinged bottom goals. Both of these types of goalposts are designed for use where space is a premium and flexibility of pitch setup is important. The hinged goals can be moved very easily in confined spaces on the trolleys provided. The fold to wall goals were designed to suit the exact dimensions of the indoor pitch and in consultation with the architects and main site contractors McClaren's, Edwards Sports installed the goals.
To complete our work at Hotspur Way, we have designed and installed a bespoke indoor ball stop system for the players' fitness suite and protection padding for floodlights and first team training areas.
We have also had the opportunity to work further with Darren and also Jim Buttar, Head Groundsman at White Hart Lane to provide stadium goalposts, corner flags and warm up goalposts. There was a unique challenge at White Hart Lane when supplying the goalposts which required bespoke sockets, altered uprights and custom made nets to ensure the goals met the high standards required.
Our Client Service Manager, Stuart Cain, was heavily involved at Tottenham and said "We were delighted to be involved with such an impressive project at Hotspur Way, and pleased we could provide bespoke solutions to both the training ground and White Hart Lane. We are involved with ongoing work at both sites and continue to work closely with Darren's team and the ongoing challenges of provide top quality facilities."
Paul Jones, Head Groundsman at Hotspur Way said "We worked with Edwards Sports to equip our new training ground at Hotspur Way. The goals, dugouts and training equipment and service we received were all first class, and we particularly like the freestanding stadium goal which we hadn't seen before and worked on with Edwards to make it suit our exact requirements."

text: NEWS Dido Ends Hiatus, Debuts 'Girl Who Got Away' Songs in London 2/1/2013 by Richard Smirke FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Chris Lopez Dido "I won't take so long with the next one," she says at exclusive concert previewing her first album since 2008 Dido made a triumphant live return in London Thursday night (Jan. 31), performing an exclusive acoustic set to invited guests and media at a private members' club in Mayfair.It was the British singer's first public performance in close to five years, although she displayed few nerves as she debuted several tracks from her forthcoming album "Girl Who Got Away," which will be released March 4 in the U.K. and March 26 in the U.S. on Sony/RCA Records.Earlier in the evening, guests were treated to a playback of six album tracks, including standout cut "Let Us Move On" featuring Kendrick Lamar. Of the other new material played, "Girl Who Got Away" retains the same winning mix of soulful, melodic pop, brooding folk and ambient electronic production that distinguished Dido's previous studio albums, 1999's "No Angel," 2003's "Life for Rent" and 2008's "Safe Trip Home" and helped make the U.K. vocalist a huge international star."I haven't actually performed in front of anyone for five years so this could go either way," she joked with the 100-strong audience -- which included recently-appointed RCA U.K. boss Colin Barlow, Sony Music U.K. chairman and CEO Nick Gatfield, Sony Music president and CEO of international Edgar Berger and Dido's manager Craig Logan - at Mayfair's Arts Club before launching into a stirring playback of "Girl Who Got Away" lead single "No Freedom," backed by a percussionist and second guitarist. A run through the album's folk-flavored title track -- complete with the memorable chorus "If only for tonight, I want to be the girl who got away" -- was similarly well-received, as was a rendition of Dido's breakthrough single "Thank You," which Eminem famously sampled in his 2000 hit single "Stan." Introducing the song, Dido dedicated it to her long-time label home, Sony/RCA, for being so patient during the four-year period that has elapsed since "Safe Trip Home" and this year's comeback set "Girl Who Got Away.""I won't take so long with the next one," she said with a smile, before wrapping the 4-song set with a powerful rendition of 2003 single "White Flag.""Girl Who Got Away" was written and recorded alongside Dido's brother, long-term creative partner and founder member of U.K. dance band Faithless, Rollo Armstrong, who produced the majority of its tracks. The album also features collaborations with Brian Eno, Jeff Bhasker, Rick Nowels, Greg Kurstin and Kendrick Lamar."It was an incredibly fun record to make," Dido recently said about "Girl Who Got Away." "There was no pressure on me at all. It's all been so natural and easy. On every other record I've made, there have been really tricky days, but there weren't any like that on this one." According to her label, Dido has sold over 29 million albums worldwide. FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME

I am here to inspire myself. I am here to inspire you. I am doing this because against all odds, food has been the most constant thing in my life.
I am done with the mainstream ways of building yourself as a chef in the culinary world. I always thought food would make me happy. It made me happy when my grandma and I would watch Rachel Ray at 10 am on a Saturday morning while baking Jiffy cornbread when I was 8. It made me happy when I had almost died in 8th grade after I was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis and only toast sounded appetizing. It made me happy when my friends and I would stay up to all hours of the night talking and I would create a midnight snack for us. It made me happy when I got a 100 on my french bread practical in high school.
But then it didn't. It became a nuisance. It became everything I was against in the food industry and I knew I had to get out. I felt like I was drowning in a sea of false communication and distrust. So I swam out of that sea and decided it was time I wrapped a towel around myself hand stitched by me.
Haas of Rachel is my house for my creative works of food, but it isn't just for me. It is for the audience of people online looking for some inspiration. It is for the home-cook who wants to try out gourmet style cooking. It is for readers who are gluten free or dairy free. It is for everyone. I want to touch as many people out there as possible. Life can be so terribly rough and food is a healing element. It's not going to fix your relationship issues or your career problems, but I'll be damned if we don't at least try.
I am here to share my passions with you and I hope you share yours with me. Think of me as your weird online friend who loves hipster rap and indie music, Saturday morning farmer's markets, the occasional lemonade and vodka, spending Sundays snowboarding, & making people happy through food.

NPC Big Sky Championships: Stepping Out of My Comfort Zone
Last week my running took a huge dive, while I had plans to still get in about 30-40 miles I am not totally sure where that all went. As I ended up only completing about 16 miles. I would love to say that it had to do with tapering but in theory I believe I just gave into the fact that I was an aching, unmotivated mess when it came to running last week. Tuesday's track workout of 10 x 1000 m at marathon pace was a fantastic workout, with me hitting all my splits about 3 seconds below goal pace and consistent throughout all ten intervals, I finished feeling strong and confident. Yet, as you can tell that apparently went down the toilet after Wednesday's morning run in which I turned what was supposed to be 8 miles into 4 incredibly painful and depressing miles. With stabbing pains in my pelvis and a deep ache in my left leg I just could not motivate for the rest of the week, so I gave in and took some serious running time off.
Another truth, the time off of running also came from the fact that on Saturday April 18, 2015 I competed in the NPC Big Sky Championships as True Novice Bikini Class B (5'4'' to 5'6'' height class).
Participating at this competition was an incredible step outside my comfort zone for many reasons, as it is just not something that I do. It's not that I was afraid to be in a bikini, as I love bikinis especially when I by the ocean, sipping a margarita in the sand. But the idea of getting up on stage, in what I can only describe as stripper heels, with an extraordinarily fake tan, and having to pose while being judged was just something that made my stomach turn over.
Being graceful has never been one of my strong suit, nor has being flirty and those are two very important aspects to bikini competitions. In truth, or rather the blunt truth, is you pretty much have to sell yourself on stage. The first couple times I practiced posing I looked like a horse walking around in heels. Not that it got much better as time went on but practice did help, and thanks to both my dear friend Christine and Jessica Rundle with Workout Anywhere Fitness I slightly decreased my horse walking, increased my grace (only somewhat), and was able to get across stage to hit my poses without falling on face, something I was seriously afraid would happen.
Fitness competitions are an event to say the least. What I figured would be maybe about a half a day venture turned into a FULL day of hurry up and wait. There are two stages to a competition you have the morning show known as pre-judging, which is an extremely false name as it is actually where your place is determined, and then the evening show in which awards are given out. Needless to say it was a long day.
Got one last quick workout in with the fiance before heading out for Montana.
We arrived in Missoula in time to go check into our hotel before going off to the host hotel for check-ins and my first spray tan appointment. At this point modesty had to be thrown out the window as spray tans are done all natural. You are then left slightly sticky and a bit on the cold side. Check-ins went smoothly so we went off to go find some food before having to go back for my second appointment.
It was a very long night on Friday full of not much sleep and an extremely uncomfortable stomach due to nerves.
Early rise in order to get my hair done, dressed, and headed over to the venue for make-up, tan touch-ups, and competitors meeting. As someone who does not wear much make-up having stage make-up put on you was very new. I have never worn fake eye lashes, they are very heavy, and I know that I have never worn that much eye shadow in my life.
Once again there was a lot of hurry up and wait, as the show started at 9am and I did not go on stage until around 11:30 am.
Nerves are something I am used to, as they hit me every time I am about to step up to a start line and leading up to a race, however the nerves I felt while standing in the lineup ready to go on stage where nothing compared to those when getting ready for a race. Everything was shaking from my smile to my legs, standing in 5'' heels with sewing needle lack is not the easiest to accomplish.
I ended up making first call outs for my division which according to those who had done it before that meant I was going to be placing in the top 5, but I would not know until the night show when they give out the awards. That meant I had about 9 hours, as I did not end up going back on stage until about 9 pm, to wait to find out my placing.
Not going to lie all I could think about is how badly I wanted to go for a run but with about 6 coats for spray tan on and trying not to ruin it that was not going to be a possibility. Instead we drove around town, did some shopping, got Brandon some food, and went a took a nap (yes I am aware of how old that makes us sound).
Finally it was time to line up for the second go around back on stage. Nerves had not settled down much though I didn't feel as if I was going to throw up this time. Awards went out and I ended up walking away with a 3rd place finish for True Novice Class B division complete with Tiara and statue.
I am very happy with how the show went as while I had high expectations for myself, I believe in going into things with high goals and being prepared to give it everything you got, I was not anticipating much. The goal was to step out of my comfort zone and take a chance on something I have never done before.
Marathons and Triathlons are still more my thing than figure competing ever will be but that is not to say that I will never compete again (in fact I will be competing at the Empire Classic here in two weeks). I have learned a lot through this process about my body, what I am capable of, nutrition, lifting, increased my stretching, and met some really awesome people. Life is a crazy journey and I want to experience all aspects of it, even if that means parading around in a bikini in front of people. :) Don't be afraid to take a chance on something as you never know what you'll experience from it and who you'll meet along the way.
You can only grow if you are willing to feel awkward and uncomfortable while trying something new
When did you last step outside your comfort zone? What did you learn from that experience?

It was a Weekend Update family reunion on tonight's summer edition of the SNL staple.
Not only did former anchors Jimmy Fallon and Seth Meyers appear as George Washington and Thomas Jefferson, but Tina Fey returned to the Update desk to share her thoughts on some of the news events of the past few days, particularly concerning her alma mater, the University of Virginia.
"It's a beautiful school, and I have nothing but fond memories of my time there," she said of the school. "And I graduated a virgin, and I still liked it. That's how good the architecture is down there."
Earlier this week, a "Unite the Right" rally was held at the school to protest the removal of confederate monuments, and in Donald Trump's response, the president blamed the counter-protests for the violence as well.

Having one or more missing teeth can take away from the quality of your smile and also have a negative effect on your oral health. A missing root can cause jaw bone deterioration which can change the shape of your face and compromise your bite. Dr. Hassan Moeti offers a permanent solution for tooth replacement with dental implants in Stone Mountain, GA. He can place and restore implants at our office for both convenience and comprehensive care. We use BioHorizons dental implants, a trusted company for high-quality implants, to perform restorative dentistry procedures.
If you have missing teeth, but adequate bone in your jaw, we can place two or more dental implants onto which your denture or a new prosthesis is attached. Implant supported dentures can either be fixed in place or removable for cleaning, depending on your needs and preferences, but are always snapped securely to the dental implants when in use. You can expect implant supported dentures to improve your ability to speak clearly, allow you to taste and eat more of the foods you love, and feel more confident smiling and interacting with others. If you are interested in learning more about your options, schedule a consultation at our Stone Mountain, GA office today!
Dental implant surgery is performed with sedation so patients feel no discomfort during the procedure. First, Dr. Moeti will remove a damaged tooth and might need to prepare your jawbone for surgery with a bone graft. After the jaw has healed, he will place a dental implant post into the jawbone and attach an abutment on top. Once the dental implant is fully fused to the jawbone, which typically takes a few months, he will make a custom crown of your teeth and place the final tooth on top of the abutment.

Happy Gut Health
Fermentations are ancient rituals that humans have been performing for many generations. The process preserves food, and makes it both more digestible, and more nutritious, by creating microbial diversity that keeps your gut healthy. They offer beneficial bacteria, enzymes, pre-digested nutrients, amino acids, vitamins, minerals, calories/energy and billions of probiotics to boost our immune system and to restore good digestion. As well as being potent detoxifiers, ferments contain much higher levels of probiotics than supplements.
With ageing, healthy gut flora diminishes, and your stomach becomes less acidic. You can achieve optimal health, prevent rapid ageing and disease by adding living fermented foods to your diet, eating more plant-based foods, and being aware of of the consumption refined foods.
Fermented foods are created in an anaerobic condition with the action of microorganisms. Sugars and carbohydrates are converted into organic acids. Organic acids are PH neutral, which inhibits the growth of, and even destroys PH-sensitive bacteria.
Microorganisms live in every part of the biosphere and are an imperative part of human wellbeing. "Microflora", as they are often called, break food down into nutrients that our bodies can readily absorb, protecting us from potentially dangerous organisms, and teaching our immune system how to function effectively. Most people feel better after a month of daily consumption, some much sooner.
The first improvement is usually increased energy, feelings of well-being and improved skin tone. Depending on the individual, some serious disease conditions may take years to heal. If you are new to fermentations, Penelope recommends taking it slowly, as too large a portion may provoke a healing crisis, which occurs when the probiotics kill off pathogens in your gut, which in turn release toxins.
Observe your reactions before proceeding, and increase your dose as tolerated.
Kefir Queen encourages you to conduct your own research, as everybody reacts differently, and individual results will vary. Consuming fermented foods daily may also affect medication-make sure you advise your doctor of any changes to your diet.

6 Ways to Improve Your Mental Toughness/
Stop Blaming Others. Mentally tough people know how to take responsibility. Sure, it easy to feel hurt because of other people's actions or words. However, mentally strong people know what is their responsibility and what is not. Take responsibility for what is yours- including your thoughts, feelings, and emotions. Sometimes things happen that we have no control over, and the most we can hope for is to keep our head above water until the emotions subside. But, you and only you are responsible for how you respond to life's stresses. Remember, self control = self esteem. You will never see mentally tough people blaming others for messing up their day. Instead, they take responsibility and accept their responses as their own.
Stop Taking Things Personally. Mentally tough people strive to take nothing personal, even though it may seem and feel personal. Whatever other people do or say is a reflection of their character, not necessarily yours. Where needy people see the world and its slights revolving around them, mentally tough people do not take themselves so serious as to think everything that happens is about them. They recognize, other people have their own unique thoughts, feelings, and actions unrelated to anything personal.
Stop Predicting the Future. Mentally strong people know they cannot predict the future. There is a big difference between setting goals and the actions you will take to achieve those goals versus constantly living in a dream of the future. How you handle this moment determines your next moment and ultimately, your future. Focus on what is happening now and how you want to handle the present. The future will follow without a doubt.
Let Go of Illusions. While we all love to dream, it takes more than a dream to make a dream come true. More often than not, our dreams do not come true. It is fine to "dream big" as long as you are incorporating and adapting to the information reality is providing. Mentally tough people know when to fold and when to keep going. If you are living in a fantasy world, more likely than not, you may be causing yourself more harm than good. Denying what is not going so well, is a sure way to keep it going that way. Never be afraid to take stock of your life and adapt your dreams as needed.
Let Go of the Past. Mentally tough people know the past is gone. And, while the past may inform our current feelings and patterns, the present is where the future unfolds. The question is, what future do you want to actualize? You cannot drive a car in reverse for long. Being human means we will experience losses. Mentally tough people accept the losses, and instead of wishing they could go back in time, they accept the present
Accept Success This may sound mundane, or a given. But , mentally tough people believe they are worthy of success. There may be mistakes along the way, but are you truly ready to accept that right actions will lead to success. Do you accept your unique talent and ability to cope?
Self-Improvement is a hard earned battle — and one that is not won overnight. And while sometimes we have to learn how to fine tune our approach and leverage the adversity, sometimes we also have to learn how to get out of our own way.

Kittender is a silly personal project I created while teaching myself Principle app! It's pretty much exactly what it sounds like... Tinder for all the furry felines out there. In hopes of helping them find their puuurrrfect match. 😻
Are there any visual standards i need to to consider when designing for cats?
- There are about 600 million small cats in the world (pets, strays, homeless and feral cats)
- Felines only speak and understand the language LOLcat
- All cats are freakin' adorable
- Cat's vision is similar to a human who is colour blind
- Felines can see shades of blue and grAy – but reds and pinks can be confusing as they appear green
- Cats are waaay cooler than dogs – hence why there is no dog emoji set (duh!)
Design Decisions
The research I gathered made it clear that designing a accessible product for cats is much different than designing for humans. You have to consider that certain colours do not appear the same to cats as they do humans.
Originally i had a different colour palette in mind, but from the research i conducted the following colours were used for specific reasons:
- Blue, Malibu: is the primary colour for Kittender, as felines are able to see shades of blue clearly
- Gray, Athens: is the secondary colour for Kittender, as felines are able to see shades of gray
- Orange: being used as the *Supuuurrr Like*. when viewing a cat colour vision diagram – orange appears to be seen as dark green by cats, and green was the colour I had in mind originally
- Purple, Wisteria: being used for *Hiiissss* a.k.a dislike. I used purple for the dislike button because not only did i want the app to appear colourful to the human eye – but cats view purple a lot darker than it appears.
Luckily I was able to get a helping paw from my fur baby Conker for translations. Conker translated all the copy i supplied to the LOLcat – now allowing Kittender to be legible and understood by all the felines out there.
We went out on the streets to do some mewser-testing and received great feedback from all the cats.

text: I'm a massive fan of camo print but it can sometimes be quite hard to wear. It's such a statement piece so you just have to be careful not to over do it. Saying that, I love stripes with camo which is kind of bending the rules. I found these jeans in ZARA and fell in love with them. I asboluetly love the colour of them and love the cropped finish. I've gone for layering with this look, I've paired it with an oversized denim shirt from ASOS and moss green jumper from H&M that I bought when I was pregnant last year. Theres loads of these kind of knits about though so keep your eyes peeled. My shoes are platform addidas trainers from ASOS which I've lived in ever since I bought them.

A Face in the Clouds by Marianne Evans
Reporter Paul Hutchins is all about finding facts and uncovering the truth. Verification, authenticity and quantification are the fuel of his spirit…Until he falls in love with producer Sandy Pierson.
sees Christ alive in every aspect of her life. No need for quantified facts. Faith is the fuel of her spirit . But her love for Paul puts her at odds with God's call toward faith and all of its mysteries.
Paul considers Christianity to be well-meaning myth—hyperbole. To
, it's everything—and she can accept nothing less from the man she loves.
Can a miracle happen? Can the touch of God Himself keep their relationship from shattering?
"I know how deeply you feel things, Paul. You have a wonderful heart. That's part of why I love you so much. I'm torn in two about my feelings for you."
's declaration would have filled him were it not chipped and cracked by the impact of her doubts.
"Your reporter's instinct toward authenticity and revealing the truth is a big part of what I admire about you. There's nothing wrong with facing the world honestly, but you need to make room for a few other truths."
"Like God."
"Yes, and the fact that life holds as much mystery, and as many intangibles, as it does realistic things you can hold tight with both hands."
She wanted him to change. Right down to the soul. Paul continued to study her. She was hurt enough that she had almost stepped away from attending tonight's event—out of a frustrated sense of love. Yet here they were—together—out of a frustrated sense of love.
And if he wasn't mindful of her beliefs, she'd step away from him.
Paul navigated the rapidly-filling parking lot of
. Once they stopped, he killed the car engine and used a restraining hand to keep
in place. He closed the space between them and gave her a kiss that lingered and thoroughly tasted. He felt the gesture ease a bit of the tightness in her shoulders and back. "I'll keep an open mind, OK?"
She touched his face, and there was yearning in her eyes. "Keep an open heart. That's much more important."

ON Thursday, I went to the SCION sponsored art exhibit called, "Installation 5". It's part of a nation-wide art tour that SCION is participating in. Many artists contributed to this exhibit, and many of them such as: Angela Boatwright, Brek Le Rat, Christina Felice, Edwin Ushiro, Logan Hicks, and Tessar Lo were actually in attendence. Above is a picture of a really cool photograph. I loved it, it reminded me of old-school horror...
There were many other dope photographs such as these:
I had a great time socializing with the crowd. I was lucky enough to be escorted by the diva herself: Ashlene, and the talented J. McClary:
The night was filled with a lot of socializing, and networking. There was a DJ spinning some new-wave and electronica, and of course we had to give it up to the bar-keep who kept Rolling Rock's and Pinot Grigio flowing:
There were SCION goodie-bags filled with pics and neat things like headphones... There was also much, much, much more art to be seen:
I thought this one was so dope. They should make a t-shirt out of it:
The crowd was definitely thick:
I had mucho fun with my peeps. I also met a few new ones:
J (Left), recording artist "Word Spit" (middle) and his manager (right).
Andre Futrell (CEO of earthtronix) and of course Mr. McClary.... It was yet another great venture for this NYC socialite... Man, chillin ain't easy... Or is it?

Prevention of injury and disease plays a vital role in the health care of residents in aged residential care.
While there is a spotlight on many important issues that require our attention, there are also lesser-known areas that also deserve acknowledgment.
Pressure injuries within the US are responsible for longer stays in hospital and more than 60,000 deaths per year. The annual cost of pressure injury care within New Zealand is approximately $694 million annually.
This year, Clinical Manager Terry Rickard and Registered Nurse Sharon Olsen of Te Wiremu House hosted a poster competition for Pressure Injury Awareness day of which required clinical staff to research and present their findings. Small workshops were used to display the effects of pressure injuries on humans (even an old apple was used as a demonstration tool).
The poster competition was won by an employee who presented a comical but practical story about Myrtle & Oscar discussing pressure injury prevention.
Te Wiremu House was the only aged care facility in the district to participate. Heritage Lifecare would like to thank all individuals involved in raising awareness for avoidable debilitating injuries.

My eyes burn. It is bad. What do I do? No choice but to sleep. In sleep do I wake and when I wake, I am present. In the being.
Some fifteen years ago, a young musician highlighted a show in Ghana. He wore a suit. It was made out of local print. He believed in merging the Western with the African if not Ghanaian. To me he still is one of Ghana's finest dancehall kings. Big ups Terry B wherever you are!
The best music award goes to …. The best composer I will give to Nacee and crew. The words of their song was two edged. So it came to pass the table was turned and NADAA became president. He was sworn into office in January of 2017. Change has come. Change is knocking at the door. People want to swerve change.
Tweaaa! For where? People say they are only one year into office so we cannot compare but charley if the song is nice you will play it twice. Inauguration day was like the first independence day. The euphoria was ecstatic. The yoke had been lifted. Alas it was and is still the same oxen!
So it came to pass that there was saga over stolen cars. Exes wanted to keep their honorable titles and the equipment that went with it notably the V-8 and V-12 Toyota Land Cruisers. That was and still is the Hallmark of an Honorable (No work but you want to chop nyafu nyafu). Some of the cars were chased and seized from the bush.
The new old government was not perturbed. They believed this was their year.(What about 2018?) They pushed through 110 ministers to head and deputize at the various ministries. Herrrrr. Typical case of the boys must chop. People complained and begged. People wept and pled. The new old government said NO! 110 is my number. After all, somebody chose to distribute I10 Hyundai cars or ? Similarity is family. Aloooo?
In March of 2017, GAJ was born. The gestation period was…. I have forgotten. GAJ hosted a massive event after coordinating to help host the Black Stars of Ghana and their American counterparts at the Rentschler Field in East Hartford, Ct. Congratulations to Founder and CEO Mr. Fred Kojo Kyeremeh and his team. We want more action from you guys. Visit GAJ at www. GAJReport.com
Then overnight it came to pass. Proper Onaapo. To wit " you won't get". It was like your dad before travelling promising to bring back chocolate and actually fulfilling his promise. Free SHS came into fruition. Sweet. Every one will attend school. Every new thing has bottlenecks so is Free SHS. So is GhanaPost GPS. But this GPS wahala… I like the way some refer to it as "Bawumia GPS". Could due diligence not have been done? Why the rush? In haste to cross the road, one tends to be knocked down by an oncoming vehicle. Patience is a virtue.
Or is it because lawlessness still prevails? Some Invicible yet visible forces were bold enough to descend on the white wigs and nearly recreated them. They even stormed the seat of the new old government and tossed opponents about like volley balls. Them be macho! The prosecutors were so scared they said they were no witnesses to their rampaging bullish behaviors. (The prosecutors were afraid)
Charley, matter don come house. English exercise: What do you get when you combine Capital and UT ( is it a word)? Answer is CAPUT! Done. Finito. So did two banks end. They did not make it into 2018. No crossover for them. Capital and UT bit the dust. Terrible year for them after winning awards the previous year or two. In fact one of the banks had one of the country's top notch pastors on its board and as a mega shareholder. The prayers did not work neither id he "see" the writing on the wall. Truly no one knows tomorrow. Lol
The president of the new old government fired off a serious Salvo to the French leader. I felt so proud watching that clip. As for the slavery in Libya, he did not say much. Or did he? The president must do more. I think he should stop the promises (is he trying to be called John D.M.) and just do what must be done. Ghanaians voted for change and he must ensure things change lest he be changed.
2017 saw an increase in nudity. Not as in mental health issues or can it be put so? but as in stage craft paaa. Free show. Please don't enter 2018 with that …..
Bukom Banku was demolished, destroyed, restructured, rehabilitated, reconstructed, rebuilt, (add more) by an unknown. The Beast. The guy do Bukom pasaaaa. He does not grant interviews again and behaves very well now. I have not heard or read about him using the opposite sex for punching bags or sparring partners again. Hehehehe
Some left us. We remember them. We applaud their work. Especially those that departed in road accidents and at the mercy of the health centers. What could have been done? What was done? Are we still passing the buck? Or we will rise and do it? Mr. President, please stop the unnecessary purchase of high end vehicles and invest that money in health care, road network and education. Please.
On that note, I thank you all for a wonderful year and equally wish you all a Happy New Year!
As for "One corner", hmmmm but I love "Bronya". The award goes to "Onaapo, Onaapo…"

"Think small, enjoy the way to your destination!" – Volkswagen beetle
When my wife and I told our families and friends about our plans to take a creative year, the first questions we always would get were about money. How would we be able to finance a whole year? Would we lose our jobs? What if the car breaks down? (our car did break down, by the way…)
We wouldn't entirely be without income though. I was selling some of my art and earning money as a musician. The plan was to grow that income.
But it's not the same as receiving a monthly pay check. So we decided to save money for backup. I calculated the money we needed with this simple formula:
Average spending in one month x 12
That's it. No complicated budget calculations. Living simply and living a life of less quantity but more quality has been on our to do list for years, so we didn't need that much savings at all.
Asking for year off
It was both exciting and a little frightening to knock on the door of my bosses office and ask for a year off. I didn't know if I had to quit my job, or if I could return after one year.
To my surprise my application was approved. It was a relief to have a job to go back to. If I had to quit, I would have to apply for a new job if things didn't work out. Luckily, my wife's application was approved as well!
A Sabbatical?
Some employers, like universities or big IT companies offer a paid sabbatical as an employee benefit. A paid year out of the rat race to recharge the batteries. This was not the case at my job.
That's why I prefer to call my year off a creative year, because I wouldn't be playing golf, lying on the beach, or take a luxury cruise around the world. I wanted to work on my own projects.
I always felt I wouldn't be playing golf all day when I retire either. I'm most happy creating and working and hope to be able to do that as long as I can.
Some people did wonder what I was going to do all day, with all that time. They said they would go crazy after a few days without a job to go to or without a boss telling them what to do.
But I had, and still have, so many projects and ideas that it would take me years to finish them all.
Overall, the responses we got were very positive. Concerns raised were only about the finances.
Looking back now, my answer to the money question is that it's a matter of choice. If you want to drive a new car every 2 years and have a maximum mortgage on the house, it will be harder to take a year off. But it's still possible. You only have to save more for a backup plan.
In the next post I will write about: Time

Surprise is a black sesame ball explosion (Recipe)
Life is full of surprises. Humans, inevitably, are too.
People never fail to surprise or shock me. In good ways or ways no amount of memory loss will ever allow me to forget. Like the time in 8th grade when I learned - on a three-way call no less - that my secretboyfriendcrush was going to the school dance with one of my good female friends. Betrayed and so obviously dissed, I wondered how I'd ever trust people - or myself - again.
But for all the surprises have crippled my soul and tainted my beliefs, there have been some that restored my faith in humankind. Like the time when Po-Po unexpectedly belted out a song at her 90th birthday party. Po-Po stood up in her red, glittery qi-pao, cleared her throat, and just sang. For ten minutes, she sang her heart out. Unbeknownst to me, Po-Po has hobbies far beyond the kitchen walls. And she's got some pipes on her.
Very recently, I was surprised by someone I've known for a long time: my mother. From her, I learned to love music, to appreciate art, and how to wear denim on denim. But I never thought she'd teach me how to cook, especially since that was Po-Po's wheelhouse.
Mom had a batch of Po-Po's tangyuan filling in the fridge, and she decided she'd make some for me. She blended together the rice flour and water for the dough with precision. And then, ever-so-delicately, she filled the pieces with Po-Po's black sesame paste and rolled them into perfect spheres. I was in awe. Mom threw herself completely into the process. What a nice surprise, and importantly, what an inspiration.
Black Sesame Tangyuan 湯圓
This classic Chinese dessert symbolizes familial togetherness, hence the round shape of the rice balls. To me, though, biting into the black sesame-filled rice balls is like experiencing life's nice surprises.
Makes a dozen 1.5- inch balls
Tangyuan Filling
1 cup ground black sesame powder
1 cup sugar (adjusted to taste)
½ cup lard (or butter)
pinch of salt (optional)
2 tablespoons minced dried orange peel (ground in a food processer)
Rice Balls
2 cups glutinous rice powder
1 cup water
Fermented Rice optional (Jiu Niang or Tian Jiu - you can buy this at a Chinese grocery store, or, make it at home)
To make the filling:
In a small bowl, mix together sesame, sugar, lard, and salt. Mix until blended and filling is sticky and shiny. Refrigerate for an hour until easy to work with. Roll ½ to 1 tablespoon sesame filling into a small ball. Set aside. Repeat with the rest and refrigerate black sesame balls until ready to use.
To make the rice ball:
In another bowl with the rice flour, slowly combine water to form dough. Mix with chopsticks or hands until combined well. Roll out into a long snake-like shape about divide into 1.5-inches pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and using your finger, create a little well making sure the bottom isn't too thin. Place a black sesame ball in the center. Pinch together opening to close and roll between hands to form a smooth ball.
To cook:
Heat enough water to cover rice balls in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add fermented rice if using. When soup boils, add rice balls, cooking in two batches. Cook for approximately 5 minutes or until balls float to the surface. Serve.

It's ironic when a financial adviser says "Don't fight the Fed." After all, if investors are supposed to take investment advice from the Federal Reserve, then why do they need an adviser?
But that's exactly what Charles Lieberman has done in a recent Bloomberg article arguing that stocks aren't expensive now because low interest rates justify higher prices. Lieberman is defending the "Fed Model," which compares the earnings yield (the inverse of the P/E ratio or E/P) of stocks to bond yields or, more specifically, the 10-year Treasury bond TMUBMUSD10Y, -0.34%.
That means if bond yields go down — or, really, if the Fed pushes them down — then E/P should go down too. And since "E," or earnings, don't move so quickly, that means "P," or the price of stocks, should go up.
Another financial adviser and pundit, Barry Ritholtz, calls Lieberman's argument "nuanced" for not latching on to a valuation number and applying it to all markets across history. What appears like overvaluation in a different environment isn't overvaluation now, with rates so low.
There is some truth to the Fed Model in the sense that it describes what is often seen in practice — at least over the last half century or so. As the Fed lowers interest rates to make government and high quality corporate bonds unappealing, investors, in response, pay higher and higher prices for junk bonds, REITs, other common stocks, subprime mortgage-backed bonds — whatever it may be — and push yields from those instruments down. And, after all, this investor movement from low-risk to high-risk assets is partly what the Fed wants when it lowers rates.
REITs, for example, tend to yield one percentage point over the 10-year Treasury, on average, so, when bond yields drop, we've seen REIT prices move up until their lower yields settle roughly at one percentage point higher than that on the 10-year Treasury. The same thing happens with junk bonds, which have traded so that they yield roughly five or six percentage points more than Treasuries. But it's true for the overall stock market too.
Unfortunately, observing a phenomenon doesn't always tell us how to invest, which entails some estimation of future returns. Clifford Asness of AQR Management has noted in a paper, "Consider the small investor who might hear pundits say stocks are fair or cheap, according to faulty Fed model logic. It seems reasonable that this investor might take this to mean the stock market's long-term prospective real return is favorable when compared to historical returns."
But Asness shows that long-term future stock returns are still correlated to the starting Shiller PE ratio (current price relative to past 10-yr average earnings). Stock returns are a function of starting P/E and the future real earnings per share growth rate.
Because stocks are real assets, whose earnings reflect changes in inflation, it doesn't make sense to compare them to bonds. Stocks' nominal earnings shouldn't grow much in a low interest rate/low inflation environment.
That means a low starting earnings yield combined with low inflation (and low nominal earnings per share growth) should produce subpar returns. According to Asness, you can believe in the Fed Model, or you can believe that stocks are real assets that reflect inflation — but you can't believe both.
Additionally, it isn't clear why investors should demand the same or a similar earnings yield from stocks as the interest yield on the 10-year Treasury. Before the 1960s, after all, investors demanded a higher current yield from stocks than from bonds in order to be compensated adequately for the risks of owning stocks. That's also why junk bond investors today demand higher yields. Even the descriptive power of the Fed Model (that low bond yields encourage higher stock prices) is limited, because it only seems to work since 1965 or so.
Lieberman thinks investors are suffering from a fear hangover from the 2008-09 market meltdown, causing them to view stocks as overpriced. Maybe he's right, but, as they say in psychiatry, even paranoids can have legitimate fears. It's hard to see how a current Shiller PE of almost 30 and a dividend yield of 2% from stocks can produce robust future returns without Herculean earnings per share growth and/or yet another bump in multiple expansion. Moreover, anyone who writes an essay defending the Fed Model and higher-than-average stock prices should at least confront the evidence that Asness presents.

How Terrazzo Moved Out From Under Our Feet to Absolutely Everywhere
Every year, Pinterest produces an annual trend-predicting report—the Pinterest 100—drawn from the previous year's data. "In a time when so much seems to divide us," the intro to the latest P100 PDF notes, "these ideas are the things we share in common." The sentence is overwrought, but the P100 contains the kind of hard data that can transform an offhand observation (everyone seems to have suddenly taken up bread baking) into something closer to a fact (everyone has definitely taken up bread baking).
According to Pinterest's methods, "if an idea keeps getting more and more searches each month, and that upward trajectory holds steady for 6+ months, then it's an official Pinterest trend." Searches for home bread baking recipes increased 413 percent in 2018. Cynics would argue that the P100 is less trend forecast than trend retrospective, but it does function as something of a cultural and commercial id.
Searches for terrazzo—a composite material traditionally featuring a medley of marble chips—increased 316 percent in 2017; Pinterest suggested the flooring option would explode in 2018, and it did. Three days into the new year brought a very 2018 headline—"This Startup Uses 3D Printing to Make Minimal-Waste Terrazzo Flooring"—and by June, terrazzo garnered a celebrity endorsement. "Terrazzo is a dying art, costly and laborious, but so worth it," Mandy Moore said of the flooring for her newly renovated home. The Founder/CEO of Artistic Tile, which has showrooms across the country, told me that sales of some terrazzo tiles increased as much as 50 percent in 2018.
But it was off the floor where terrazzo spread most notably. Terrazzo-print items appeared in big box stores and boutiques, amongst tastemakers and trend-followers. The Wing released a line of terrazzo-print swag last summer. Seemingly in a rush to get their own terrazzo-themed products online, Target has it spelled two ways. Even the retailers less susceptible to trends bought in. In a show of restrained enthusiasm, Crate and Barrel put the print on disposable paper plates, napkins, and straws. But most other major retailers put greater stock in terrazzo's appeal and stocked their stores accordingly. As furniture and decor, it's available at West Elm andCB2, Urban Outfitters and Anthropologie.
At first, the interest in terrazzo seemed like the inevitable Pinterest and Instagram-fueled digestion of a trend, one tailor-made for #ihavethisthingwithfloors. But terrazzo has always been subject to rapid re-imaginings, from its earliest iteration as an affordable way to use marble scraps in fifteenth-century Venice to its most recent internet-fueled rise.
Today's Terrazzo-intrigue likely kicked off in 2014, via one furniture fair installation seen 'round the world. At the Salone Internazionale del Mobile in Milan, Dzek debuted its collaboration with British designer Max Lamb. Their booth featured furniture—a chair, a few tables, a bookcase, and wall-mounted shelves—but what the collaboration really highlighted was the furniture's material composition itself, which also made up the walls and floor. They called it Marmoreal, which means of or like marble. The engineered marble works at a different scale than traditional terrazzo, almost as if the former was placed under a microscope, with chunks of marble instead of smaller chips. Oli Stratford, the deputy editor of design journal Disegno, described it as "terrazzo plus," and a "contemporary reengineering of a traditional material" that "looks very much like nougat."
Traditional terrazzo is costly and time-intensive to install—the flooring at Moore's home took six weeks, for example—but Lamb's Marmoreal was available as slabs or tiles, requiring less time, expense, and technical savvy to use while retaining a custom look. With its durability and punchy colors, he brought an underfoot option to the foreground. Designers took note.
Over the next two years, Marmoreal stole the spotlight in a number of well-designed kitchen and bathrooms everywhere from Los Angeles to London; they then spread further thanks to magazine features, design blogs, and social media shares. Not only did Marmoreal cover a Maison Kitsuné shop that opened in Paris in 2015, but the brand even launched a capsule collection of tees, sweatshirts, and tote bags depicting the material.
Terrazzo has moved from old-world cafes in European cities to shower curtains in American suburbs and It-spots in New York. Last October, when CALPAK introduced a new collection of terrazzo print suitcases and packing cubes, a blog post featuring their inspiration images included kitchens and bathrooms decorated with Marmoreal. In early October 2017, Supermoon Bakehouse opened on the Lower East Side with pink terrazzo counters and tables. A few weeks later, the social-media savvy Books Are Magic began using a terrazzo pattern as the background for their events notices. They continued with it all the way through 2018, switching up the colors each month. Supermoon's co-owner Aron Tzimas, who also designed the space, says customers immediately responded to the terrazzo. Even today, daily questions about the counters are standard, chief among them whether Supermoon will produce terrazzo pieces for sale. (They won't, or, at least, they don't right now.)
But the rise of terrazzo commingled with another trend: the return of everything eighties. When the soap label Wary Meyers introduced two new speckled terrazzo-esque soaps in 2016, they pointed to Shiro Kuramata as inspiration. In 1982, the Japanese designer began using shards of colored glass in lieu of marble chips to create a riff on terrazzo he called Star Piece, which emerged just after he'd completed a project using traditional terrazzo. For an exhibition in Tokyo, he reportedly covered the walls and floors in Star Piece, in addition to fabricating furniture out of the material. Perhaps Lamb drew inspiration from Kuramata when launching Marmoreal decades later. In 1983, Kuramata produced a number of tables out of Star Piece for the Memphis Design Group, exposing his work to a larger European and American audience. In recent years, as Memphis designs have garnered renewed interest, Kuramata's Star Piece creations have begun to reappear in trendy interiors.
But when Los Angeles-based architect Emily Farnham began working on Mandy Moore's house, she wasn't thinking eighties at all. Terrazzo had a renaissance amongst midcentury designers, and Farnham knew the architect behind Moore's 1950s home had used the material frequently in other residences.
For the restoration and remodel of Moore's Pasadena house, hardwood and concrete were considered, but terrazzo won out in the end. The resulting floors contain a small amount of mother of pearl "for a controlled sparkle," amidst an otherwise neutral palette of stones. "Because it is used in living areas and durable enough for the bathrooms and kitchens, you can do away with threshold transitions usually required between rooms," Farnham says. "This really adds to the flowing effortless feel of a floorplan, especially important for a classic mid-century layout." A custom-made, more colorful terrazzo ledge sits above the fireplace.
When asked about the recent rise of terrazzo, Farnham cited the return of Memphis and "a decade or so of Scandi-inspired everything" leaving consumers hungry for more playfulness in their interiors. "It's like confetti for adults," jewelry designer Katie Glenn says about everyone's favorite new material. She's worked its pattern into rings, necklaces, and bracelets for her line MARIONWILD. Glenn began producing terrazzo-inspired pieces in late 2017 and plans to continue using the pattern in 2019. The Inside is introducing a terrazzo-print upholstery and wallpaper collection this month, terrazzo tile makes are expanding their wares, and design sites are featuring DIY options.
Back in 1988, Ettore Sottsass, the Italian architect and founder of the Memphis Design Group, started a magazine with design critic Barbara Radice, who also happened to be his wife. The couple named it Terrazzo after a material they loved. Influential architect and critic Vicky Richardson draws attention to the reasoning behind the name; "Radice wrote in her first editorial that the word, with its dual meaning—'terrace' or 'place of encounter' in Italian, and 'mosaic flooring' in English—expressed the 'idea of hardness of stone, of building and also the idea of leisure...'" It's a durable flooring option and a graphic pattern reproducible on the flimsiest of items. The word evokes the grandeur of European history and is also exactly what a forward-looking couple might choose to name their pet project.
Terrazzo is suddenly everywhere, but its current rise paradoxically draws attention to how ubiquitous the material has always been. I've noted it in airports, building lobbies, and old-school department stores. While researching this piece, I found myself delighted by the black rubberized terrazzo-print flooring in some of New York City's subway cars. It's been there for ages, but I guess I'd never really noticed.

Cotton Belt Press - Feature
Did I just do an audible, "EEEP!"? Yes...I think I did....
A few weeks ago a mutual friend connected me with Katie Fleming at Cotton Belt Press. She reached out and asked if I'd like to be a part of her "Featured Artists" page. Well...yes, please!
Check it out here: Cottonbeltpress.com/blog
A HUGE thanks to Katie and CBP Team. It was such an encouragement getting to know you and can't wait for that coffee date!

I'm overcoming my lack of interest in text-blogging with some photo-blogging! Hurrah for me! Ahem. Anyhow, here are some pictures. Enjoy. (Yes, that is an imperative. *angelic smile* Why do you ask?)
EDIT: Oh, wait, it seems you might need some explanations. We were running a Carnival, with Booths, in the Living Room. (See? You get to see my Living Room!) Proceeds went to the Family beneficent fund, which this year goes towards feeding PT. Just so as you know, last year it went towards getting me home from College. 😀
Notice the purse? Yes, that is Sammy's, and it contains many pennies and tickets. Just ask him, he'll tell you.

In the dying age of print media, and with the rise of the competitive, multi-channelled online realm, it can be hard to stand out in the crowd. How can you jump to the top of that press release pile?
Attention to the smallest of details can make the world of difference. Follow these tips to grab the attention of the publisher and most importantly, your audience.
1. Keep your headline short and sharp (under 140 characters). Although tempting to steer towards a witty headline, it may be best to avoid the risk and remain factual.
2. The 'Grabber'. Grab your reader's attention with an engaging first sentence. Leave them wanting more and asking questions. Ensure you include your keywords in the first 65 characters and write in an active voice.
3. Repeat after me: 'who, what, when, where, why, and how?' follow these six guidelines to create an informative, and to-the-point press release.
4. Value, value, value! Keep asking yourself: 'how does this value my audience? What is my unique angle?' Ensure you have developed a clear link between the main point and the reader. If there is no relevant news value and substance, prepare to be moved to the bottom of that pile.
5. Short and sweet is the key. Develop a strict two-page maximum rule and don't be afraid to use bullet points to break up blocks of text.
6. A picture says a thousand words. Press releases that include multimedia (think video, audio or image) are much more likely to get picked up. The compilation of a press release kit is also an appealing way to present your information and company. The kit may, for example, include visuals as well as a product sample, and information about your brand.
7. Make the publishers life easier by formatting your work. A quick spell and grammar check never killed anyone. Double spacing also makes it easier to be read and make notes.
8. Include a call to action. A simple promotion of your company, brand, product, or event at the end of the press release, reminds the reader who is responsible for the news.
9. Stay in contact. Don't forget to include your contact details for any further queries (and have answers to these potential queries). This is essential.
10. Stay social! Share the information on all your relevant platforms, including your website.
Still not sure the best way to go about it or do you need help finding that angle? Drop us a line at Popcom, we are very happy to help.

Being arrested on charges of driving while under the influence can be an extremely humbling experience. You may feel as though the best course of action available is to throw yourself at the mercy of the court and accept any consequences for your actions. However, it's important for you to know that DWI laws are equally harsh against defendants who actually realize the errors of their ways and plan to reform as they are for scofflaw defendants who have not yet learned their lesson and will continue to drive drunk.
That's why you need to know that there are several defenses against drunk driving charges that may be available to you based on certain circumstances. Perhaps the first thing you should know is that police are not allowed to initiate a traffic stop against you without first having a reasonable suspicion that you may have been impaired. Typically, this suspicion occurs either after a car accident or a traffic violation.
You also need to know that even in instances where police are allowed to set up random DWI checkpoints, they must still follow specific procedures. These procedures are the result of U.S. Supreme Court and lower court decisions attempting to balance your Fourth Amendment rights against unreasonable searches and public safety.
Historically, courts have found that police cannot rely on the use of a "hunch" when determining which cars to inspect. A good example of this might be a car making a lawful U-turn before entering a DWI checkpoint. That act by itself does not give rise to a reasonable suspicion of impaired driving.
There are also challenges that a North Carolina DWI defense attorney can advance against police field sobriety testing. A good example of this is the Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus testing. This is basically the test where police ask a motorist to look at an object while they check for the jerking motion of the motorist's eyeballs. Alcohol is believed to increase the jerking motion of an individual's eyeball. An attorney can challenge this type of evidence quite easily if prosecutors fail to support HGN claims with the testimony of an expert.
These are just a few examples that demonstrate the potential benefits of retaining a criminal defense attorney to represent you in your DWI defense.

Jewish Family Engagement Network
a community of practice for educators and engagement professionals
who work with Jewish families.
This year, we'll explore Liminal Moments.
Childhood is full of transition - from preschool to Kindergarten, from 5th grade to bnai mitzvah, and from bnai mitzvah to high school. How do we help our kids mark these moments? Starting with our opening gathering in SF; at regional meetings in Berkeley, Foster City, and Palo Alto throughout the year; and during our two lunch and learns in SF, we'll explore these Liminal Moments.
JFEN participants will:
- Experience adaptable program formats
Consider the impact of transitions in the lives of families and identify ways to offer support
Connect with colleagues to learn, collaborate and grow
Attend one, a few or all - no obligation
We hope that the JFEN will inspire connections and relationships, reducing the feeling of isolation or the feeling of re-creating the wheel in a vacuum.
Registration begins at $18.00.
Details in each event above - register for any and all JFEN opportunities at the bottom of this page or through any event above.
Each meeting will model a family program showcasing different programmatic styles. We will debrief our experience and consider ways that the modeled program could be adapted to different ages and stages of family life and programmatic content.
