Instagram Stories Tips and Apps
If you aren't using Instagram Stories for your business, IT IS TIME. Everyday over 300 million people use Stories which means it has now surpassed Snapchat. Just like the photos on your feed, you want to continue to give your audience value but with Stories, I think we can have a lot more fun here as things don't need to look nearly as polished. Stories are perfect for giving your audience a glimpse behind the scenes, speaking directly to them (if you're a small business, it's time to show your face), doing a collab by having someone take over, sharing sneak-peaks, and promoting your products or service. Below I share some tips on the best Story practices and some fun apps to get creative with to make them pop.
The Tips
Hashtags! - Love them or hate them, they make a difference. You can use up to 10 hashtags in your stories. To make them invisible, you can pinch the text to make them teeny-tiny and hide them under a sticker or text, or you can make them the same color as your background.
Location Tag- This is just another opportunity to be discovered so it would be very wise to use it especially if you have a brick and mortar store.
Polls - The best way to find out what your audience wants is to ask. I like polls because they are really simple and don't require much effort from your audience. You can always ask them to DM you as well but if you're feeling shy (MEEEE sometimes), polls are perfect. You can even ask a silly question. It's a great way to get your audience engaged.
Branding - Stick to your brand colors! Don't see them? Hold down a color with your finger and the rest of the color wheel appears. Try to use the same font or fonts as well.
How Many Per Day - I haven't found a real answer to this. I have heard the magic number is between 3-5. My suggestion is at least one a day since it does increase your visibility. It is a fact that Instagram is more likely to give your account exposure in the explore tab if you're using Stories. Also, I feel here it's just like your feed in which you want to remain consistent. Don't do 3 Stories a day and then fall off the wagon if you run out of content because your audience is going to learn to expect 3 Stories a day from you.
Use CTAs - I talk about using call to actions all the time in your feed captions to increase engagement, and you should here too. If you don't have the 10k followers needed to use the 'swipe up' function, it's totally ok to instruct your viewers that there is something cool awaiting them at the link in your bio. You can also tell them to check out your latest post as well.
The Apps
Feature- I use this one the most. It's simple but you can get all kinds of creative choosing different color backgrounds and layering photos.
For whatever reason, I can't find the link to this app, but if you're looking for it in the app store, it looks like this:
Hype.Type- Catch your viewers' attention by adding some fun animated text and music to your photo.
Adobe Spark- Upload a photo, and it will resize it for you to fit the Instagram Story dimensions- and other social posts like a YouTube thumbnail and Pinterest. Once uploaded you can then play around with the layout and design.
Vidstitch- Stitch photos and videos together.
PhotoGrid- This is a fun one as there are lots of cool things you can play around with. I just use it for adding a white background to Story Videos.
CutStory- This app lets you cut your long videos into 15 seconds so that they upload into Stories.
If you have any additional questions, please leave them in the comments. I'm here to help. :)

Traffic accidents are never expected and always scary. No accident is scarier than one that involves a fatality and injuries. No matter how careful and observant a driver, a car accident can still happen in Ohio. Living through an accident and through its aftermath is one of life's more stressful situations.
March and the early spring car crash
It is past St. Patrick's Day, and everyone is tiring of winter. Spring is in sight and one can feel it in the air. And then it happens, the March snow storm. It can happen at anytime and be a brief snow shower or a squall, complete with white outs, that can create hazardous driving conditions in Ohio that can lead to a car crash.
Drug warnings and medical malpractice
When a person in Ohio is in intense pain, he or she expects to go to a doctor and be given relief. A person should also expect that he or she will be informed of any warnings associated with a medication. Failure to inform a patient could constitute medical malpractice.
Winter driving in Ohio can cause a car crash
Those who live in Ohio know how treacherous winter driving can be. This can be particularly true when the weather is so changeable and is difficult to predict. Most drivers are aware of these circumstances and exercise appropriate caution when driving in the snow. Sometimes another driver is not as cautious, or is even reckless, and a deadly car crash can result.

Plumbing is a complex task that involves assembling devices, drains, fittings, tubes, valves and other aspects to distribute water in a home or building and removes waste water from the same.

It's been a year already. And the world is still trying to cope with the unexpected and tragic death of Robin Williams. As the nostalgia of his amazingness hits us in waves, we remember the great actor and comedian.

His daughter Zelda asked the media to let the family grieve in peace. The world was devastated by the loss. Zelda still had to take a hiatus from social media. It was because a lot of people were sending her trashy messages about his death.
The Marin County authorities cleared all doubts. They revealed that there was no trace of alcohol or drugs in his system. There was a concentrated amount of prescription drugs in his system coinciding with his therapy.
It was later revealed by his widow, Susan Schneider that Robin was battling with depression. He had been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease most recently before his death. The actor's struggle with the disease was what might have led him to attempt suicide, according to CNN.

This is to have succeeded #Emerson You succeeded RW #RobinWilliams."
The star had revealed that he was "Uncle Robin" to her children, according to USWeekly. The best boss to everyone that he worked with.
Hollywood also remembered one of their favorite comedians and actor on the biggest platforms. Billy Crystal paid a tribute to the actor.
He said that the 'He was the greatest friend you could ever have. Protective, loving, it's difficult to talk about him in the past because he was so present in all of our lives. For almost 40 years he was the brightest star in a comedy galaxy.'
He was also among the stars who paid tribute to Robin Williams on the Oscars this year, according to Mirror.
Williams' received an Oscar for his role in the 1997 drama Good Will Hunting. He played the role of Sean Maguire. His other wins include two Primetime Emmy Awards, six Golden Globe Awards, two Screen Actors Guild Awards, and four Grammy Awards throughout his career.

Since its premiere in 2002, Cirque du Soleil's Varekai has visited over 72 cities in 20 different countries across the world. Now, the critically-acclaimed production can mark another city off its ever growing list — the DC area's very own Fairfax, Virginia!
Set deep within a forest at the summit of a volcano, Varekai follows the adventures of a solitary young man who parachutes from the sky. There he is met by a world of mystical creatures who dazzle the crowd with heart-stopping aerial performances and acrobatics that quite literally defy gravity.
Varekai: Tales of the Forest will be playing at the EagleBank Arena (formerly the Patriot Center) from July 22 – 26, 2015.

text: Wanting a special gift for her hubby's birthday, Gabby contacted me to do a boudoir shoot. She wanted to do something a little more out of the ordinary, out of her comfort zone, and something that he would remember for the rest of his life. Throughout our session I saw her transform from giggling when I got up close and in her personal space with my camera (because that is what I do best, haha) to absolutely WORKING it in front of the camera and letting her inner goddess come out to play. We had moments of uncontrollable laughter where I literally had to put my camera down and slap my knee, and times where we were both so deep in the zone that nothing could have broke our concentration. We designed the most beautiful photo book for her to give her husband, and I'm told that he absolutely ADORED them, not only because she totally rocked it, but because he knew that she had stepped out of her comfort zone and displayed the confidence that he always knew she had.

Hulu has struck a brand new licensing settlement with Disney-ABC Tv Group for unique subscription VOD rights that makes the complete libraries of Boy Meets World and Residence Enchancment obtainable on a streaming service for the first time. At one level, the producers considered making the show into a movie the place Tim and Jill cut up up, and Tim would gown as a nanny to care for the youngsters. Sound acquainted? The thought wasn't made into a film for the solid of Residence Enhancements as a result of Tim Allen rejected the concept. The storyline went on to create the favored movie Mrs. Doubtfire. The other factor that Blogger mentions, is that despite the fact that particular person posts should not have a particular dimension limit… very massive posts may run you up against the web page size restrict." So, essentially, what they're getting at is that your posts should not be greater than 1MB both. This limitation is a huge downside and one that really shouldn't be ignored.
The Binford Tools model featured on the show turned so fashionable that people would ask for the model in hardware stores to buy their instruments. Binford Tools was later featured in Toy Story the place Tim Allen was cast as Buzz Lightyear. Is the Possible to Get 150,000 people to read your blog submit in 1 week with Visitor Posting? Actually. That is nice data to me as a brand new blogger! I will definitely be seeking to make a guest submit someday sooner or later to help increase my site visitors.
Instead, outdoors of a token Very Particular Episode (Brad will get caught with marijuana; Mark's aforementioned goth part), the series centered on Tim and Jill's married and skilled lives, whereas practically the entire boys' storylines were presented as issues for the mother and father to solve. And while some latent JTT love might need carried the present into the new millennium, after Thomas made a aware determination to retreat from public view, House Improvement lost its claim on that the majority fruitful source of nostalgia'"teenage horniness'"which might excuse even the corniest of fabric. As a substitute, House Improvement ended up being a sitcom for dads like mine, and dads solely get nostalgic for things that occurred after they had been horny teens.
Water infiltration is very damaging to onerous-board composite siding and to homes completed with certain kinds of stucco. As we speak, a considerable variety of stuccoed houses are leaking water into stud walls, rotting the framing members and wall joints. The problem has been especially severe in homes with artificial-stucco partitions: Water will get in, however it will probably't get out. Most frustrating for the inspector is that stuccoed partitions and water intrusion not often show signs of the rot occurring within. As a result of it's so tough to spot these issues from outdoors, I believe it is price spending the money for a licensed specialist to examine potential moisture issues on stucco partitions. A specialist has the tools and the experience to make an correct evaluation of what's inside.
The biggest benefit to using WordPress over a platform like Blogger is that you really personal all the rights to your website — assuming nothing on your site is copied from another person's work, that's. (wink) Though your web site is technically hosted on a server that you actually cannot own outright, control over every little thing else that occurs in your blog is in your fingers. That stamp of possession is usually enough for many to decide on WordPress for their weblog.

It was a proud and historic moment for women in Saudi Arabia last Sunday when they were officially - and legally - allowed to drive vehicles in the country. It is reported that hundreds - if not more - came out to take their cars out for a spin in the capital city of Riyadh and had big smiles on their faces throughout. And it is reported that the economy of the country too could well be smiling in the years to come by letting them drive.
According to a report in Bloomberg, the move to allow women to drive could add $90 billion to the economic output of the country by 2030. That would be close to selling 5 per cent stake in Saudi Aramco. At a time when the country is reeling with the prospect of a possible economic slowdown and its overdependence on oil threatening to pull it down after decades of extravaganze, $90 billion could well be a massive figure even in the context of the ultra-rich and ultra-conservative Muslim kingdom.
The report goes on to point out that the contribution of women in Saudi Arabia's labour force is next to negligible with only 20 per cent of women in the country economically active. The country has already made increasing participation of women in economic activities one of its key objectives by 2030 to reach closer to the Gulf average of 43 per cent. While the economic benefits of allowing women to participate more may, therefore, be plenty, the social advantages are a given.
Human rights and women activists have long been demanding for more for women in the country. Many see allowing women to drive as a sort of a victory while others feel a lot more has to be done. For now though, Saudi women would be seeing their driving license as a fresh lease of life and with access to wheels, an increased mobility and increase in activities are expected to rise several notches.

Gil Guarino has served as an executive vice president at CACI International for close to nine years and announced this fall he will soon retire from his position leading the contractor's tranformation solutions group.
In all, Gil has spent 27 years in industry, joining CACI from American Management Systems in a 2004 deal, and 20 years serving the U.S. Air Force, where he rose to the rank of colonel, specialized in weapons systems acquisition and helped develop the first cost model for unmanned spacecraft.
In a recent conversation with ExecutiveBiz, Gil spoke about the lessons he has learned from his leadership roles in the public and private sectors, how his recipe for success evolved along with his environment and mission and what will drive the relationship between industry and government in the future.
ExecutiveBiz: A number of U.S. foreign engagements and domestic priorities came to the forefront during your time both in the military and industry. How did those engagements and priorities affect your experience at the intersection between the public and private sectors?
Gil Guarino: Over my career in the military and industry, I experienced the weapon systems buildup for Vietnam, the subsequent drawdown and the resurgence of defense spending during the Reagan years. For a 20-year period, I was involved in major weapon system acquisition involving space and tactical fighter systems and held a variety of program management positions within the Air Force R&D and Acquisition organization.
Over the course of those assignments, I worked with industry extensively and gained tremendous knowledge on how industry responded to government solicitations, what it took to deliver the government's requirements and, in general, what contributed to successful program management and systems integration.
Having seen the ups and downs within the aerospace industry and being the CIO for Air Force Systems Command in my last assignment, when I retired, I decided to pursue a career in information technology versus continuing in weapon system acquisition.
Over my 27 years in industry, we've seen the explosion of the IT industry, the slowdown in the weapon system business following the end of the Cold War and the rapid expansion of all industry following 9/11. All this experience has highlighted the importance of anticipating future trends, having a strategy to capitalize on the opportunities those trends present and the necessity to move into new markets as existing markets slow or decline.
So, netting this all out, the international and domestic environment I experienced on both sides of the table gave me an opportunity to gain broad experience in complex program management, business development and large organization leadership.
ExecutiveBiz: You've had an opportunity to work in many different organizations in a variety of roles. Do any periods of time or accomplishments stand out to you the most?
Guarino: If I think back, every job I had was typically a new role with a driving imperative, a task or a need set that was important and unmet. Over the course of those roles in both the Air Force and industry, each of them had an aspect that stood out and made the experience rewarding.
My first job in the Air Force was leading a group of 2nd Lieutenants that had just entered the cost estimating field after recommendations from a McKinsey study. We developed the first unmanned spacecraft cost model that the Air Force used to do parametric estimating on new spacecraft. To accomplish that, we had to get industry CEOs to open their company records and allow us to capture cost information and technical information to build the model's parametric estimating relationships. It was an amazing experience that resulted in a tool that is stilled used today, although there have been many iterations, enhancements and increases in estimating sophistication.
Being part of the F15 and F16 System Program Offices during full scale development and initial production/deployment to the Air Force (and in the case of the F-16, four European partners) was an unbelievable experience working with the "all stars" of the weapons system acquisition community. I learned so much during those nine years about program management, systems integration and business/people leadership. The mission needs we met and the level of executive leadership that we had to work with made it a period of significant professional and personal growth. Those teams still get together today and reflect on "excellence in acquisition" and the camaraderie we developed meeting each program's mission.
All of my industry roles were great and I could bore you to death with how they affected me, but clearly the one that will stand out forever is the almost nine years that I have been with CACI. The opportunity to lead one of the company's four business groups was unequalled. The 1,700 employees that were part of AMS's Defense and Intelligence Group are very happy that CACI acquired this AMS business and I know CACI is happy with that decision too. CACI has been the best part of my professional career in every imaginable context, especially it's people. I'm glad that I saved the best for last.
ExecutiveBiz: As you transitioned responsibilities from one company and position to another, did you find that your approach had to change according to the role you held? Or did your recipe for personal success hold true throughout?
Guarino: Every place you go and every job you have requires you to morph to the specifics of that role. That "morphing" centers around two areas: first is the nature of the business, and second is the culture of the company, its politics and the nature of the people with whom you have to interact. I consider myself a people-centric person that is context-sensitive and both self and socially aware. So, in every role, understanding the people, culture and politics was key to being able to make the greatest contribution and provide an environment where individuals were able to meet their professional and personal goals.
As an underpinning, when I first came into the Air Force, a Colonel I worked for told me something I've practiced in every military and industry role – "do whatever you do in the context of your boss' boss' problems." He said if you perform within that context, your effectiveness and growth opportunities would be unlimited. I still believe and express that thought today.
During the mid part of my military career, I also became a believer in personal development as an accelerant for professional development, and started to look at my roles from the standpoint of "I'm responsible" and 'If you can see it and believe it, you can achieve it", as well as, "If it's to be, it's up to me." This mindset came from personal development books and tapes and put me on a path of continued personal development and working with teams to emphasize the concept of personal development as an accelerant for professional development. "Morph to the environment, the people and the task, but hold constant to 'Do good, better and best, and never rest until the good is better and the better is best'." Lastly, communicate, communicate and communicate.
ExecutiveBiz: Two individuals, Valerie Lyons and Rick Dansey, who you had an opportunity to help groom and develop and raise through the executive ranks, will be given the opportunity to run their own shops. How does it feel to have seen them grow into that role and what do you expect for them in the future?
Guarino: Both Rick and Val are both great people and their successes are the result of their own initiatives and hard work over a variety of roles throughout their careers. It's very gratifying and rewarding to know that I may have had a small effect on where they've gotten to of late and their selection for these two important business group roles. Their selection into those roles is indicative of the importance that CACI places on leadership development and succession planning and the intent to develop future leaders from within the company. I'm proud of what each of them has accomplished while at CACI and appreciative that they brought so much to the game before coming to CACI.
(Editor's note: The transformation group will turn into two units at the beginning of 2013, with SVP Rick Dansey leading the federal civilian solutions unit and SVP Valerie Lyons leading a business systems solutions unit.)
ExecutiveBiz: On a personal level, you're coming into a new phase in your career and life. What are you most excited about moving forward?
Guarino: Before looking forward, I have to express the pride and satisfaction in the present and reflect on what CACI overall and my business group, more specifically, have accomplished over the past eight-plus years. While there is another chapter or two to write going forward and I'm excited about moving onto to those pages, it's hard to leave CACI and all the great people that I've been privileged to work with, learn from and influence.
Going forward, I'm looking forward to the flexibility to spend my time the way my wife and I would like to spend it. Janice and I have smelled the roses along the way, but probably not as much as we will. We're also looking forward to spending more time with our family. For those that know us well, you'll find us in the Cayman Islands and Cabo San Lucas when we're not in DC or other fun places.
Professionally, I'm looking forward to advisory, board and selected consulting roles with specifics still to be determined. There's more that I would like to contribute within the business community. I also plan to stay involved with TechAmerica and serve on the Public Sector Board's Government Advisory Board.
Philanthropically, I've been a member of the Wolf Trap Foundation Board of Directors for the past three years and I look forward to continuing in that role for the next three. Wolf Trap is a special place and as you become more aware of the Wolf Trap Foundation and its programs, you quickly realize that Wolf Trap is more than summer programs at the Feline Center and Fall, Winter and Spring programs in the Barns. The Wolf Trap Foundation's programs centered on artistic and education initiatives are important and contribute nationally and internationally in many meaningful ways. I'm happy to promote corporate and individual giving to the Foundation. Being a wine enthusiast and believing in the great work that the American Heart Association does, I'll also work with AHA in support of the May 4-day wine event in DC called Heart's Delight, helping increase awareness and participation for this most worthwhile cause.
ExecutiveBiz: What do you see as some of the major challenges facing industry right now, and where do you see the relationship between industry and government going in the future?
Guarino: Let me answer that in context of where I think it should go, or would hope where it would go. When I think of the budget situation that we have right now, the deficit, you would hope that it would cause the government to recognize that there are limited resources to do what needs to be done to meet the various missions within the defense and intelligence and federal civilian communities. To do that effectively and to do that in a manner where you achieve synergies between the buyer and the seller, there must be increased and timely information sharing and dialogue. If that's done, there's much to gain – better solutions, a more efficient acquisition process and lesser likelihood of protests.
Unfortunately, I don't see that happening right now as a general rule, recognizing that there are exceptions. With the limited acquisition resources, the acquisition process is getting more rule-based and operating by the book without the dialog that has characterized the industry I've been part of for so many years. Exchange is critical to the success and there's nothing wrong with dialog. The cancellation of many of the exchange conferences because of the issues that emanated from the GSA conferencing fiasco just further exacerbates the problem and none of that is good. As a result, I believe we are going to continue to see that it takes longer to get things done, at a higher cost, and protests will continue. In the end and if exchange/dialog doesn't come back into style, program success will be a "crap shoot".
On the protest front, the increased use of letter debriefs versus face-to-face discussions is resulting in more protests. In many cases after spending hundreds of thousands and sometimes millions of dollars on a proposal, unsuccessful offerors are not afforded the opportunity to have a meaningful exchange on their evaluation and the award decision. The only alternative they have is to protest which further adds to the workload of an overburdened acquisition work force. Given the complexity of procurement, offerors will likely find something that causes the protest to be sustained, resulting in corrective action which takes further time. In the end, the users go without a solution to their requirements. That's unfortunate, because it doesn't have to be that way. More timely dialog and exchange between government and industry in both the pre-solicitation phases and during debriefs is where I believe our acquisition process needs to go.

5k weekend is here and I am AMPED! Seriously, I don't think I've ever been so pumped for a 5k, but this is my race and I am ready to fly! After last Saturday's RNR Half workout, I had Sunday off completely, which was nice. Monday, I was back in the pool and weightroom for a normal workout. On Tuesday, I had my favorite race-week workout, which covers almost the 5k distance in the speed section:
|Kara, I can only dream to follow in your footsteps!
|Resemblance is uncanny, right?
And Friday, I had a 5 mile run, followed by 5 x 300 at 67-68 seconds a piece. It was so hot today - while that wasn't a long workout by any means, I was just drenched by the time I got to the track! By the 300s, albeit short, were at roughly 6:00/mile pace, so I am hoping that when Sunday comes along, the pace that I am aiming to run (6:25) won't seem as much of a sprint. We'll see. I met with Sarah on Wednesday (we were co-presenting at a history function), and she said to just take it out hard in the first mile and hang on until the end!
I did my 20 minute shake out today with 6 sprints thrown in - getting ready for my finish kick.
I slept in this morning, and it was nice not to have an alarm to wake up to. I do have some work to do today, but I am also going to relax. Even going out to see 21 Jump Street, which looks like it will be funny. Anyways, light and easy today, and hard and fast tomorrow!

Difficulty Level:
Consider the situation where photosynthesis is going on at a steady pace in a typical experiment with a light on, and carbon dioxide is being combined with ribulose-bisphosphate (RuBP) to produce 3-phosphoglycerate (3PG). Then suddenly the source of carbon dioxide is eliminated. What changes in the concentrations of 3PG and RuBP would occur?
(1) 3PG levels rise, RuBP levels fall.
(2) 3PG levels fall, RuBP levels rise.
(3) 3PG levels rise, RuBP levels rise.
(4) 3PG levels fall, RuBP levels fall.
(2) Elimination of a source of CO2 would block the action of RUBISCO, which required CO2 as a subtrate. There would be no further production of 3-phosphoglycerate (3PG).
The remaining reactions of the Clavin Cycle are not block by the absence of CO2. Intermediates in the cyclic pathway would be converted to ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate (RuBP) and the level of RuBP would rise.
Difficulty Level:

The Senate Committee on Ethics, Privileges and Public Petitions on Monday called off the consideration of the petitions it received against the nomination of former Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi.
Recall that a group based in Port Harcourt, The Integrity Group, had forwarded a petition to the Senate, alleging financial impropriety against Amaechi with the aim of preventing him from being confirmed as minister.
The petitioners, who sent their petition to the Senate through Senator George Thompson Sekibo and two other Senators, claimed that Amaechi mismanaged N70 billion Rivers State funds.
The Senate committee, after a brief meeting with Amaechi at the National Assembly, said the subject matter of the petition which is related to the white paper on a report of a Judicial Panel of Inquiry is already a subject of court case.
The former Rivers governor, who appeared before the committee in company with his former Commissioner for Information, Mrs. Ibim Semenitari and two members of the House of Representatives, told the panelists that the matter upon which the committee invited him is pending before a court of competent jurisdiction.
The Chairman of the committee, Senator Samuel Anyanwu, had wanted to know from Amaechi if the matter was awaiting court pronouncement.
Anyanwu after hearing from Amaechi noted that in line with Section 7 of the Senate Standing Rules, it would amount to sub-judice to consider the petition.

When soft tissues start to protrude through part of your abdominal wall, you may be diagnosed with what is known as an inguinal hernia. While the intestines are not always involved, it is possible that part of this organ has been pushed out of its space and is bulging elsewhere. Some people do not experience any symptoms at all, though others find the condition to be painful. Fortunately, our team at miVIP Miami offers inguinal hernia repair to remedy the situation.
If you have an inguinal hernia, you may experience:
· A bulge near your pubic bone
· Pain or pressure in your groin
· Feeling burning or even gurgling in your groin
Patients who find themselves in need of minimally invasive hernia surgery are typically obese, pregnant or have developed the condition as a result of straining during bowel movements or excessive coughing. If you think you may have a hernia, you should contact your physician as soon as possible.
These hernias will not repair themselves on their own, which is why inguinal hernia repair is so important. If the hernia becomes involved in the intestines, it can result in obstructed bowels, nausea, vomiting and excessive pain or swelling.
To resolve the issue, our surgeons at miVIP offer minimally invasive hernia surgery during which patients are placed under general anesthesia. Your physician will use tiny incisions in your abdomen and insert a very thin tube. Through this tube, the doctor will use small tools to locate the hernia and put the tissues back into place. Even if you need repair on both sides of your groin, the doctor will only need to make incisions on one side. Any potential openings in the abdominal wall will be closed with surgical mesh in an effort to prevent the hernia from returning.
Our team is experienced in performing inguinal hernia repair. As board certified physicians, they are well equipped to use cutting edge technology to afford you a speedy recovery. Our doctors are considered leaders in their field and even teach other physicians about our minimally invasive techniques.
Thanks to our minimally invasive hernia surgery techniques, you can be back on your feet sooner than if you chose a traditional procedure. Additionally, our method ensures that you have:
· A lower risk of bleeding or infection
· Less post-surgery discomfort
· Quicker healing
While inguinal hernia repair cannot guarantee the condition will not return, fewer than 3 percent of patients experience a reoccurrence.
In order to determine how much you will pay for your surgery, please contact one of our representatives. At miVIP, we do accept most forms of PPO and POS insurance policies. Your insurance will largely dictate your out-of-pocket expense.
Following your minimally invasive hernia surgery surgery it is important to monitor your recovery. Although it is rare, you should alert your physician if you experience any side effects such as a fever or excessive bleeding or drainage from the surgery site.
Our surgeons at miVIP can help alleviate your symptoms through providing inguinal hernia repair. You can meet with one of our doctors to discuss your condition as well as the treatment options we offer. Get started today by contacting our team at XXX.XXX.XXXX.

By Jerry Alatalo
ike Papantonio sat in for Thom Hartmann on "The Big Picture" recently and talked to Les Leopold, author of "How To Make a Million Dollars an Hour" – his book about Wall Street, deregulation, hedge funds and how they negatively affect the economy – on what to expect now that the GOP controls the U.S. House and Senate.
The following comes from Amazon.com reviews of Les Leopold's book.
I am the narrator of the audio version of this book. This is the e-mail I wrote to Les:
Dear Les,
I just wanted to say thank you for writing "How to Make a Million Dollars an Hour". I finished recording it for Audible.com last week and while I was horrified and outraged to learn that the financial sector is in fact worse than I had previously imagined (and I had imagined it was pretty awful, believe me), I was truly heartened by the fact that there are people like you and Professor Fleischer out there trying to combat these sociopathic money-addicts. For the most part the hardest thing about narrating your book was keeping the angry tone out of my voice, though certainly there were times when it was warranted. I tried my best to keep it light and sarcastic, but clearly I had to lend some venom to some of the more acerbic comments. I enjoyed that immensely.
I really hope that you are happy with what I did with your words. I am honestly very proud of the fact that I have been involved in this project, as I think your book has an important message that needs to reach as many people as possible. It is incredibly satisfying for me to have the opportunity to speak with passion and conviction about such crucial and consequential issues. I am a hopeless optimist with very little faith in mankind, so it is always a pleasure to find someone out there fighting the good fight. As I tell my children, you have to be one of the good guys, because there's way too many of the bad.
Thanks for being one of the good guys.
Yours truly,
Ollie Wyman
Another reviewer wrote:
"At a time when our politicians and the media are trying to convince us that our essential public services must be cut in the interest of deficit reduction, Leopold shines a bright light on some of our real economic problems: namely, our obscene income disparity, the dangerous financialization of our economy, and a political system that allows a handful of people to play dangerous games with our money, put our whole economy at risk, throw millions out of work – and then walk away with shocking amounts of cash".
Many can remember the movie "Wall Street" made by Oliver Stone where the character played by Michael Douglas – Gordon Gecko – tells the stockholders of a prospective takeover company that "Greed is good". The movie made a big splash when it became widely released and reviewed, and a lot of people thought that elected representatives in Washington, D.C. couldn't miss the popular movie's strong message suggesting reining in Wall Street greed, and would then implement the necessary regulatory measures to stop financial crimes and abuses hurting the American economy and people.
A lot of people got it wrong. Mr. Papantonio warns of an onslaught of Wall Street thugs, very comfortable in their criminal skins; asserts that Democrats have sold out to Wall Street, and that they'll contribute to financial sector attacks on Social Security by aligning with Republicans behind closed doors. He predicts the excuse coming from Democrats will be "we are the party of compromise", and that Americans need to brace for "head spinning" actions from both Republicans and Democrats which synchronize with Wall Street agendas.
While the decades-old trillion-dollar a year tax haven/evasion industry continues operating without any government "interference", facilitated by the world's most powerful accounting and legal firms – and without a peep of opposition coming from Washington, D.C. lawmakers – disabled Americans face a 20% cut in Social Security Disability Insurance monthly benefits.
Financial sector "gamblers" in complex financial instruments most commonly termed derivatives can without stress return to bet on a wide number of complex casino "games", after lawmakers passed a Citigroup-written provision included in the must-pass Cromnibus spending bill which placed taxpayer money at risk for potential multi-billion dollar bets which end up losing.
Regulations/rules of the road for Wall Street in the Dodd-Frank legislation designed to prevent a repeat of the global economic crisis of 2007-8 are in the process of being rolled back. Why? The answer to that question might be as simple as the fictional Mr. Gecko's personal money philosophy: "Greed is good". Buy companies with borrowed funds, have the acquired firm pay back the loans, downsize the company through layoffs, reducing employee pay or hours etc., pump up the value of the company by buying the stock, then cash out and find the next company or companies for a repeat of the Gecko-like, "downsize, divest, run away" model.
Unfortunately, Mike Papantonio is probably correct. In 2015, Americans are going to experience a major-league case of "head spinning". Are there any doctors in the house (nation)?

Snow White Disneybound featuring Harveys/
I am so excited to team up with my friends at Harveys for this blog post today. This post features the Harveys Parkhopper bag from the Snow White Collection and a fun Snow White Disneybound I put together.
The Harveys Parkhopper is one of their signature styles. What I love most about it is that can be converted from a backpack to a crossbody bag very easily!
The bag has a drawstring style closure, the closer on this is very tight! I wansn't worried about loosing anything from my bag at all and it also has a magnet snap closure for extra security.
The entire Snow White Collection from Harveys features this amazing Seven Dwarfs inspired lining and the Poison Apple charm which you can see in the photo below.
I was inspired by the almost Disneybound look of this bag when putting together my outfit for the day.
The red tie headband is from Rarity By Casey.
The sweater I have on is from Target, you can find it here (ON SALE). I love the color of this sweater. It reminded me of the collar on Snow White's dress. It also compliments the colors in the bag perfectly!
I think the Parkhopper bag is my new favorite Harveys silhouette. I can't wait to use it in the parks. I love that it can go from a backpack to a crossbody so easly. It really holds a lot as well! In all of these photos I have a large wallet, makeup bag, sunglasses case and iPhone 8+ in the bag and as you can see it can clearly hold way more!
You can shop the entire Disney x Harveys Snow White collection here. Special thank you to my friends at Harveys for the package.

Would you dare to eat like it matters?/
Food is an essential and significant part of everyone's life, can't argue with that. On the other side, everyone should be more aware that what we eat has a big impact on our physical and psychological health and on our planet. We are what we eat.
There are a lot of conflicting informations out there about what meant by healthy and quality. Scaling foods that harm or heal, freeing ourselves of possessions we don't want or need can be complicated and overwhelming. But choosing well can help prevent a lot of problems. Leading to an improvement in many things, most importantly in maximizing our well-being.
Imagine watching yourself and | or your family, friends eat a meal you prepared or ordered that has the optimum nutritional value, free of anything else that's potentially harmful. We are striving for this but it can take some time.
I'm personally very picky what I eat by my nature. I love vegetables and fruits, I don't like meat. So the journey began in my childhood. Minor health problems and intolerances were diagnosed as well. It was the time I thought there must be another way. I went pesticide and chemical free in my whole household. I am looking constantly for new recipes, methods, herbs, vegetables, fruits what I can adopt into my kitchen since then. I try to buy everything seasonal on the local markets from farmers who are living in the close neighborhood.
Reading books, watching documentaries, volunteering led to a disappointment in our food system. It was kind of motivation to eat more responsible. So the journey continues to prevent a lot of things from happening again. We have changed our diet and our cooking has changed focus heading towards a healthier alternative. Sustainable and socially responsible food purchases is my aim everywhere at anytime.
We believe in good, local and seasonal ingredients, protecting our environment, nurturing our body, mind and soul. We spend time and effort sourcing them. It means making sure that every single process from who is the supplier | producer, quality of fresh produce, storage methods, condiments, cooking techniques must be carefully considered. We choose to make our food from scratch and with fresh, 'recognizable', clean ingredients.
You can also choose to avoid processed | junk food. Take a look at the ingredients the next time you want to buy any processed food and see how many listed items can you recognize. Very often, it's only a few. Again: Less is More. One of the biggest complaints about eating well is that it costs too much. In turn, we would like to ask if you ever think about how most 'fast', processed and junk food can cost so little?
"To avert the coming famine we all need to start paying its true price–not blindly transferring the cost of what we consume today to our grandchildren tomorrow."
What if we eat less?
What if we eat as simple as possible?
Our kitchen is also free from processed ingredients and artificial preservatives. No pre-cut, no pre-packed or processed food, no microwave. Last (but not least), because it's not good for everybody body type, we are meat, dairy, sugar, gluten free. I'm not supporter of diets, I go for a personal healthy lifestyle change instead, that I can sustain for the rest of my life. We certainly do not think it is simple to transform. It takes passion and time. The truth of the matter is there are not many shortcuts to good quality food nowadays and compromising is not an option. We think these steps are necessary in creating a menu with ingredients that are totally consistent with our philosophy of clean ethical healthy food.
The food items may just be names to you but there are stories behind every single one of them - just like behind any other product. It's always worth to get know the story instead of making assumptions.
Many "healthy" establishments would simply just put up a misleading banner. Yet ironically, you will find that they are using many unbelievable stuff. It takes little more time and effort to find the real businesses but simply just by knowing what goes into our table outside home makes it worthwhile.
Though some habits remain, some progress has been made, but it is a work in progress. So we want to share these triumphs and passion with others, and hope you too can share your knowledge and expertise with us. We are independent from health and food associations, institutes or ministries and we are not influenced by trends, religions or politics. Instead, we spend our time being informed about where and how our food is produced. While actively supporting local producers by buying their products, therefore becoming part of the integral production process. We believe everyone has an important role and maybe small actions can one day reap big rewards.

I have just set up the A+ on a clients site. During testing l created a test appointment via the frontend user booking system and then was able to book via the backend appointments page the same provider with the same service at the same date and time.
Have l missed a setting to disable double booking.
Can l create a secure booking page on the frontend for the client to fill in. As they aren't very confident with WP backend. Has anyone done this before.

McCullough Robertson
Based at Brisbane's Central Plaza 2, McCullough Robertson sought to condense its operation into 4 floors by way of a significant refurbishment – and to be undertaken while remaining in-situ.
The extensive new fit-out needed to introduce on-floor efficiencies and foster cultural change through an open-plan approach, hinging on functional workplace drivers of flexibility, adaptivity, collaboration, community and the notion of 'working together'.
Working closely with the McCullough Robertson 'Premises Committee', Valmont discussed priorities for staff and goals for the workspace and provisioned for a largely open-planned area that would encourage a collaborative and community-minded work environment, maintaining the glass front perimeter offices and converting 30% of the remaining offices into dual offices to promote mentorship and equality.
The concepts of geometry were woven throughout the space aesthetically, in form and finish, and also functionally, through the implementation of efficient work pod placement. New generous and lively breakout spaces re-invigorated the desire to congregate internally, as well as with external clients in a less formal setting. A redesigned and repositioned reception and waiting space provide better visual access to Brisbane's river views in a timeless and classic context.
The success of McCullough Robertson refurbishment demonstrates that an in-situ refurbishment can provide the same outcome as an 'as-new' fit-out and result in a very satisfied client.
About McCullough Robertson
McCullough Robertson is a leading Australian law firm with 54 partners plus staff located in their Sydney, Brisbane and Newcastle offices.
For over 89 years, major Australian and foreign owned corporations, financial institutions, governments, private enterprises and high net worth individuals have trusted McCullough Robertson's advice on their most critical challenges.

Is it still possible to achieve the American dream? At what cost? Fifty miles from Los Angeles, in the middle of a stark, Dali-esque desert, real estate developers have created Antelope Valley, an instant community of dream homes for postmodern pioneers in searchof the good life. In Home Economics, suburban home owners talk candidly about the complex realities of trying to live the American dream in the nineties.
Billboards along the freeway leading to Antelope Valley advertise new homes with slogans like "distinctive family living," "California Traditions," and "American Heritage," evoking the importance of home ownership and family values ina disorienting age of impermanence. "On the drive up, I remember telling my husband, 'Just don't get any bright ideas because I won't live in the desert,' " recalls Vicky Ivanov, sitting on the wall-to-wall carpet in her sparsely furnished living room. But one look at the clean streets lined with ready-made mansions, and Vicky and her husband were sold. "We saw the houses and they were so big and so pretty. It was past what wethought we could ever get. Everything looked just perfect, you know, like a dream...like a dream house."
Drawn to this remote desert outpost by visions of a better life, new residents are eager to exchange the smog and congestion of Los Angeles for affordable, seemingly idyllic communities centeredon family and home. "For me it's exciting to get out and dig around in the dirt," Ivanov says of working in her new garden. "It's my rose and I can put it where want to put it. That's what I like about owning a house." But the homeowners also face a cruel paradox: the three to four hour round-trip commute leaves them little time to enjoy their new surroundings. Unable to spend much time at home, some Antelope Valley residents find themselves questioning the importance of home ownership and their ideas of success, family and the good life. Others seek comfort by surrounding themselves with frontier-style furnishings, reminders of America's prairie ideals. "I prize tradition and permanence, things that you are proud to talk aboutof your past, which I don't have a lot of," says Kelly Killen, a divorced mother who has filled her modern home with refinished antiques, potent symbols of a less transient age. "It's not the age of things, it's the values that they remind me of that I like," she explains. "I work hard refinishing this table or that cabinet and looking after things carefully, because I want to pass them on to my daughter. I feel I am starting that type of value with her."
When Jenny Cool, an American raised in India, Pakistan, the Philippines, and Hawaii, first visited her brother in his new home in Antelope Valley, she was amazed. "It took about four hours to get home from the airport. I've lived all over the world, but this seemed strange, this driving need to your own home no matter the cost. I made this film because I needed to learn about the motivations, the human wants and cares, behind suburbia. "With an insider's compassion and an outsider's eye, Home Economics examines life in the new suburbia through frank conversationswith residents of Antelope Valley. "I think it's really eaten away at my relationship with my husband," says Vicky Ivanov of the grueling commute. "I think all relationships need work, but when you don't have own time to work on the relationship...the result has been very, very devastating on our marriage and it's sad. I think to own a house, that's a high price. Too high."
Even as their parents struggle to create a safe haven in a dangerous world, the younger generation plots its escape. "When people do speeches in class, the teachers always ask us 'Oh, what areyour goals?' and everyone is like, 'I got to get out of the Antelope Valley,' " exclaims Ivanov's teenage daughter Harmoni Hutton. "My main goal is just to get out of here! I don't knowanyone who wants to stay here for the rest of his life."
Home Economics, a primer on the shifting definition of the American Dream at the end of the twentieth century, was produced, directed, shot, and edited by Jenny Cool. Urban anthropologist Philippe Bourgois, PhD has called it a sensitive portrayal of "the deep human costs of the automobilization and suburbanization of U.S. culture."

Designed Studio Mapping
Designed studio maps begin with a client's idea for a message that they want to deliver (a vision, strategy, new process, etc.). These maps are co-created with an individual or team in conjunction with the strategic illustrator. Often the message is connected to a metaphor. There are a series of sketches and approvals before the final map is created and delivered.
Formulating Structure
A conversation is started (often done via conference calls) about the map message and it's intended outcome. Who is the audience? What are the key elements of the message? What is the culture of the organization? Metaphors are brainstormed as well as the structure of the map.
Creation of Sketches
In the studio, a sketch or sketches of the map layout are created and a scanned version is then delivered to the client. The client socializes the map with others in their organization and feedback is then provided.
Finalizing Map
Usually there are two to three iterations of the illustration until the final version is reached. The client signs off and the final artwork is then created in the studio. The artwork becomes the property of the client.

Heeeyyyyy friends! I have decided to put together my 6 top things to buy from ! I always get asked "what should i buy with my birthday voucher for Mecca" or "I feel like doing some online shopping whats your favourite things from Mecca" well I have them for you! Some are newer favourites and some have been favourites for a long time. If you are interest keep reading! Plus I would love to know what your must haves are!!
I love this foundation I have been using this foundation for around 4 years. Its my Ride of die. This foundation is just good. It doesn't sink into fine lines and pores it lasts well it doesn't oxidize its got medium to full coverage and A satin matte finish. I'm obsessed. If you would like a full review let me know, but do your self a favour and get a sample.
I got these lipsticks gifted from Mecca so lucky. I love that there are so many different shades and formulas. I also love the price, these are a really nice lipstick and they are just $28 which is actually awesome because a MAC lipstick is $36. 1993 is my fav it is a comfort matte and the formula is just that. The shade "1993" though is BEAUTIFUL. I love it its a medium neutral brown that does throw a little more warm than cool. there are 100 shades you need to go into store and check them out or read my post HERE to check out 20 of the shades!
I have quite a few NARS blushes. I love the shades and i love the pigmentation. They are smooth and pigmented but not to pigmented that you have to be super careful to apply lightly.
My absolutle favourite is the shade "Orgasm" its a pinky coral with a gold sheen, at the moment Mecca has a Jumbo limited edition Orgasm Blush and I need it haha. I also love Amour, Sin and Gaiety also pictured here.
I have been using this concealer for around 18 months and It's really Good. It's The best concealer I have it never creases its sort of a thin consistency but its full coverage and sort of forms a veil under your eye and never creases. I love the applicator on it also its flat so it just gets into the places you need it to.
I like urban decay shadows they are nice but they don't wow me. This palette though is like it was made for me. If you've been reading my blog for a while you know I love Mauve and Rose Gold shadows this palette is FULL of them. The shadows blend easily and i don't experience any fall out. Now this is probably totally random recommendation because I am about to say I like this palette but I don't love it and if you want to spend this sorta money on a palette then I have much better recommendations BUT this is in here if you are wanting to try one of the urban decay Naked Palettes.
This palette has a mix of mediocre kinda crappy shadows and some awesome ones. I love this palette because I am obsessed with mauve eyeshadow. This palette is a mauve eyeshadow lovers dream. The thing that annoys me is that the most prefect mauve shade "LIMIT" really has to be packed on to achieve a good colour payoff.
It's still smooth and easy to blend though. I did find that the shimmery shades are inconsistent to some are a little chunky and some are a little smoother. The thing that's random about this palette is that they have nailed the darker shades, they are really pigmented and nice. So I dunno hahaha this is fully strange because I don't love this palette though I am glad I have it.
This is another newish purchase. I just love the colour it just looks so nice it's not to orange and red but still not to cool toned its more of a warmer neutral LOVE IT! Plus its quite pigmented! Its now my fav bronzer!
DONT FORGET go to and watch my video using all of these products!
So there you have it! If you want full reviews on any of these or if you maybe want a dupe list (if i cant find one) then please let me know! I'm kind of Obsessed with Mecca lately!!!
Thankyou for reading and please give me any post suggestions in the comments!
