text: Last month, I took my son out to the Karuizawa Snow Resort. Well we usually call the place "Karuizawa no Ski-jo". Robert-san posted recently on this place. Have we met there? Anyway, the weather was nice and there was not much wind there. But I could not have any chance to go down the slope because my son did not want to go up to the hill by lift! Instead, he just walked around the bottom of snowy mountains with my goggles. There are a lot of ski slopes in Nagano such as Hakuba, Shiga Kogen and Nozawa etc. But for people living in Tokyo, I would recommend Karuizawa for a bit of joy, as it provides an easy access from Tokyo (it only takes a little more than one hour from Tokyo Station.)

How to 10X Your Cause Marketing with Content Marketing: 3 Strategic Approaches/
Last week I spoke at the annual Engage for Good Conference in Chicago on how nonprofits can dramatically increase their cause marketing success with content marketing. I built my presentation around this definition of what content marketing for cause marketing is:
Creating consistent, interesting and useful content that builds a loyal audience. Over time, you can monetize this audience in a number of ways, including through win-win partnerships with companies (aka cause marketing).
Two important points here:
- Building a loyal audience that knows, likes and trusts you is critical. If you want more support from companies, build a loyal, subscribable audience and they will come!
- The potential of content marketing for cause marketing goes beyond just raising money with companies with cause marketing. Content marketing is the tide that raises all boats, including the mother load of money that can be raised from individuals.
Three Strategic Approaches: Shotgun, Rifle, Bazooka
To help nonprofits of every size, expertise and budget, I outlined three strategic approaches for using content marketing for cause marketing.
Shotgun Approach: A broad strategy that includes a flagship content asset (e.g. blog, vlog, podcast, etc), email marketing and social media. This approach builds an audience of individuals and companies, which, over time, can be monetized (the companies with cause marketing).
Function in the partnership funnel: Awareness.
Rifle Approach: A focused strategy that includes a flagship content asset (e.g. blog, vlog, podcast, etc.) and email marketing that attracts and cultivates prospective corporate partners. Over time, these companies can be recruited for cause marketing programs.
Function in the partnership funnel: Consideration.
Bazooka Approach: Singular focus on a specific content asset (e.g. website, print magazine, database, etc.) that aims to build a large, loyal audience. Over time, this audience can be monetized in many ways, including through corporate support in the form of cause marketing. What makes the Bazooka Approach so powerful - compared to the shotgun and rifle - is that the content asset itself can be monetized.
Function in partnership funnel: It is the funnel!
Below are examples of each approach.
Shotgun Approach: National Audubon Society
Over the past seven years, The National Audubon Society - a conservation and bird organization founded when passenger pigeons still filled the skies - has taken a broad approach to content marketing and has had some spectacular results.
As of mid-2016, the society had:
- 800,000 email addresses - more than 11 times the number they had in 2011.
- Millions of followers on social media - a 1,000 percent increase from just two years ago.
- A new web site that was easier to read and navigate, especially on smartphones. They made their content more exciting and appealing to a younger, wider demographic. And their traffic HAS TRIPLED.
When Audubon president David Yarnold arrived at Audubon in 2010, the group had a marketing staff of three. Today, the society has in its New York City headquarters alone, 20+ communications and digital-technology professionals.
The society's content and digital transformation has led to a major spike in contributions.
"We're putting more than $100 million annually to work today, compared with just $73 million five years ago," said Yarnold.
Some of this money is coming from companies, like Toyota, ESRI and Aveda. While Yarnold concedes that Audubon "has never put enough of a premium on corporate partnerships," he had hoped to change that in 2017.
With a large, engaged audience that knows, likes and trusts the organization at its back, Aububon could become the next darling of corporate cause marketing.
How to Get Started with the Shotgun Approach
Even if you adopt a shotgun approach you can still target companies!
- Focus on building a large, loyal and subscriable audience. That's what companies want!
- Write case studies of your successful partnerships and add them to your blog.
- Track email subscribers. Which companies are coming to you and expressing interest in your organization.
- Segment your corporate prospects and send them a special email newsletter once a month or quarter.
Rifle Approach: Marie Curie
If you've been following my blog, you know that I think Marie Curie in the UK does an excellent job using content marketing web to attract, cultivate and reward corporate partners. You can read all about them here.
Here's what I will say: case studies on successful corporate partnerships are critical to your success. Most companies are visiting your web site before they ever pick up the phone or drop you an email.
How to Get Started with the Rifle Approach
Bazooka Approach: National Trust UK
Here's something I bet you didn't know: the National Trust Magazine, the print publication of the UK's National Trust, which cares for the country's historic monuments and properties, has the highest print circulation of any magazine in the United Kingdom. Over four million subscribers! (I learned about the magazine last year from Joe Pulizzi and Robert Rose on the This Old Marketing podcast. Thanks, guys!)
Like Aubudon's blog, the magazine helps the National Trust build an audience that knows, likes and trusts them. Over time, this can lead to donations. However, what makes the magazine a bazooka in my mind is that the asset itself can be monetized.
(Note: To be clear, this doesn't mean that Audubon's blog couldn't be a bazooka. It most certainly could! It's more a question of content intent. Your nonprofit probably isn't blogging to monetize the blog itself. Your blog is an awareness tool to build a large, engaged audience. However, if you started a lifestyle magazine like the National Trust did you would aim to - over time - monetize the magazine itself.)
Another advantage of the bazooka approach is that once you've built a loyal audience, there are - according to the Godfathers of Content Marketing - ten different ways to monetize it.
For nonprofits, it's helpful to think of creating a "bazooka" content asset from a special event.
Say you start a walk to raise money for your organization. And yours is the only fundraising walk around so people love it (I know, I'm suggesting a truly bizaro world). The audience for the walk grows and companies begin showing interest in sponsorship and cause marketing. Eventually, your walk becomes so popular you launch a webinar series to show other organizations how they can replicate your success. Then you launch a lifestyle magazine appropriately called Walking. That leads to a conference on health and well being for women. And so on and so forth. The webinar, magazine and conference are all "bazookas" that can be monetized.
The good news is that nonprofits can think outside of their existing event fundraisers and start with a content asset first. Here are a few places to start.
- Blog
- Video
- Podcast
- App
- Print or Digital Magazine
- Database
- Virtual Reality
- User-Generated Content
- Email Course
- E-Book
- Website
- Game
For example, the Monterey Bay Aquarium has a great app called Seafood Watch. The app helps seafood lovers eat more sustainability. Great idea, right?
As use of the app grows so does the audience that likes, knows and supports the aquarium. Motivated by purpose and profit, companies buy sponsorships within the app that show users where they can buy their favorite sustainable seafood.
Over time, the audience for the app becomes so large the aquarium explores other revenue areas and launches a Seafood Watch Conference to further promote the potential of sustainable living. Of course, there is a fee to attend and sponsor the conference.
Are you following me here? The key is to pick something that builds an engaged, subscribable audience. Once you have this loyal audience companies will beat a path to your door.
One last point on the bazooka approach.
You don't have to progress from the shotgun approach to the rifle approach before you can shoulder a bazooka. (Although I would argue that if you have existing corporate partnerships, the rifle approach is a must.)
Russell Sparkman (wicked smart content marketing guy) made a darn good point to me last week that nonprofits should start with the bazooka approach. However, I would humbly suggest that for the average nonprofit who is working with in-house resources, the shotgun and rifle approach can help build a content mindset that will lead to better execution of the bazooka approach. Most nonprofits are simply not ready to approach content marketing as a powerful profit center. Sad!
Are you ready to use content marketing for cause marketing? Where will YOU start? Aren't you tired of making all those cold calls. There is a better way!

Endless amounts of research has been done on the subject of how people work in and interact with their space on a daily basis. Many have come to consider it the differentiator between a great workplace and an average workplace. More and more people want to know how to make their space the best, or how to make a space that attracts the best talent. How do you compete as a smaller company with the likes of Google and Facebook? The easiest answer for many, is to try and copy what those highly ranked companies are doing. However, those companies have spent countless amounts of time, dollars, and research into optimizing their spaces to attract / retain top talent. To be honest though, even they've gotten a lot wrong along the way. So how can you avoid getting it wrong, or at least learn from their mistakes? Below, I will describe three common elements to creating a great workplace, that are very easy to get wrong.
1) Open Space Planning Vs Providing A Way for Everyone to Work the Way They Want
The open space plan is one of the most controversial subjects in workplace. Countless articles have been written in regards to the horrors of lost productivity and privacy. However, many large / succesful companies are using this method of space planning. There's a major caveat here though: the succesful ones, are also providing a menu of other types of spaces for employees.
When you open your space up to increase collaboration you also have to give your employees options to work in other ways than just at a desk. The same way not everyone likes to work in a closed office, not everyone likes to work in a coffee shop. There's no one type of employee. It's important to study your employees and make calculated decisions as a company as to how your employees work together. You can then create a menu of space (open desks for collaboration, conference rooms for meetings, libraries for seclusion, etc).
2) Food programs that increase productivity and encourage community vs Junk food and Energy Drinks
The endless food and beverage offerings of large tech companies are legendary in the tech communities. "I heard they have pho every day!" When focused in the right way, a good food program can help foster community, improve the health of your employees, and optimize your employees time. Now before you go installing a kitchen in your office and pumping out endless pizzas, you should step back and ask yourself why you're providing food to employees, and what kind of program you want to create?
Believe it or not, your food and beverage program needs clear goals and strategy. When you reach a point of wanting to provide a service such as this to employees, it's important to take a moment and formulate a plan. Are you trying to get your employees to maximize their time at the office? Are you trying to get your employees to build better relationships with their teammates and other coworkers? Do you want employees staying after hours and just socializing in the office? Once you start to answer some of these questions you can begin to look for more resources to help you implement the proper way.
There's no one size fits all solution. You need to customize your programs to your company, culture, and employees.
3) You should be Collecting and Utilizing Data to make decisions and improve your workplace.
It's very normal for companies who are just getting started to quickly throw desks into a space, and throw up some meeting rooms. You'll buy some whiteboards and maybe some couches too. However, once you start to scale up and grow past your first 100 employees, it's important to start making data driven decisions. If no one's using the couches, or that 50 person board room you thought you needed, then it's probably time to make some changes.
If you measure how your employees utilize their space, what foods they do / dont eat, and even how they feel about the temperature of the office - it can help you build better spaces as your company grows. However, collecting utilization data is just the first part of the puzzle. You also need to dedicate time and resources to actively researching best practices and how the workplace is constantly changing.
Custom Solutions Are Key
In summary, looking at your workplace strategically is vitally important to your company as you grow. The earlier you begin to look at your workplace as one of your greatest assets for increasing productivity and the overall retention of employees, the better prepared you will be for growth. There's no one size fits all solution to workplace programs. You need to customize your programs to your company, culture, and employees - or risk falling behind the competition.

Divorce lawyers often see a fair share of controversy over the marital home. The house is visible, valuable, and emotional. There are good reasons to stand your ground: continuity for the children, emotional attachment, and sometimes even convenience. There are also some not-so-good reasons: vindictiveness, ego gratification, and just plain greed.
Courts take into account many factors before deciding who gets the house. They include the "Good Reasons" listed below and bad reasons, such as when a physically abuse spouse wants the house or when someone who abandons his family later returns to claim the home.
Many states have divorce-related automatic restraining orders that prohibit the sale or mortgaging of the marital home. Even if the property is only in your name, you are not allowed to sell or encumber the home without spousal or court approval. Also, your spouse may file a "lis pendens," a lien saying that there is a claim on the title.
Divorce Tip: 1) You don't want a stranger in a black robe (the judge) making your decisions, and 2) only your attorney can properly advise you given your particular circumstances and your state's law. Whatever the law, ideally the decision regarding the house should be based on mutual agreement, without court intervention.
If you have one or more of the "Good Reasons" listed below, then you can take the next step in deciding whether it is economically feasible to keep the house.
Good Reason #1: The kids – school-aged children are often traumatized by a divorce, and moving can compound their emotional distress. However, sometimes a fresh start might be emotionally healthy, so speak with a child psychologist if you aren't sure.
Good Reason #2: Sentimental or emotional attachment – for example, if you were the stay-at-home spouse and you're emotionally attached to the house. Similarly, an attachment might exist if the house belonged to your parents or a relative before you were married.
Good Reason #3: House as settlement tool – the division of marital assets should be acceptable to both sides. You can use the house as a bargaining chip, or "settlement tool."
Divorce Tip: If you are going to fight, make sure it is for the right reasons and that you can afford the house.

Women are a strong pillar for development and ensuring their inclusion is a pre requisite for any development initiative. In the same token the recognition, participation, involvement and development of women should be the objective of any development agenda. When women have platforms to share ideas and information, they stand a better chance to contribute to the betterment of our societies.
It is with the above in mind that ZACRAS commemorates the 2016 International Women's Day under the universal theme "Planet 50-50 by 2030: Step it up for Gender Equality. In commemorating this day, we acknowledge the significant role played by women in the development of communities.
In the quest towards the achievement of gender equality, it is ZACRAS' belief that men have a significant role to play. It is therefore important for men to see how they can benefit from having a society which respects, recognizes and enables women to access, control and own resources. We therefore encourage men to actively initiate and participate in interventions which seek to promote and enhance the status of women in our communities.
ZACRAS believes that community radio presents a real practical platform for women to participate and have their voices heard in a manner which promotes their inclusiveness. Through community radio, communities can fight gender imbalances and other ills which affect women. ZACRAS affirms that if community radios are licensed and supported, they have a role to play in advancing the interests of women and contributing towards gender equality.
Community radio- a tool for women empowerment and development!!!.

Hitmonchan and Hitmonlee have a new sibling in Pokémon Go Gen 2. While it's not named after a famous martial art star like Bruce Lee or Jackie Chan, Hitmontop can still fight with the best of them. And while you can catch it in the wild now, you can also evolve it from the new base-form all Hitmon now share — Tyrogue.
So, how does Tyrogue evolution work?
New: Latest Pokémon Go Updates | Next Pokémon Go Event
Hot: Best movesets | Best Power-Ups | Find rares | Catch bonuses
Guides: Pokémon Go tips + tricks | Pokémon Go cheats
How do you evolve Tyrogue into Hitmontop?
Hitmonchan and Hitmonlee from Gen 1 have a new base form in Pokémon Go Gen 2. It's named Tyrogue and, if you had Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan before, their Candy has now been merged into a combined Tyrogue Candy. Catch or hatch Tyrogue and have 25 of those Candy, and you can evolve into Hitmontop... or Hitmonlee or Hitmonchan.
Yeah, it's a split evolution and it's complicated. Well, it's not as complicated as evolving Eevee in Umbreon or Espeon but it does have a difficulty level all it's own: It totally depends on the stats of the Tyrogue you want to evolve. Whichever stat is highest determines the Hitmon you get:
- Hitmonlee when Attack is the highest stat.
- Himonchan when Defense is the highest stat.
- Hitmontops when HP is the highest stat.
If two or even all three stats are equally high, sadly, it becomes random.
Your Tyrogue to Hitmontop results?
Before you evolve, evaluate your Tyrogue. If HP is the stat that gets called out, you should be good to go for a Hitmontop. But, like any good theory, it's only as solid as its last set of tests. So, if you get a Tyrogue and you evolve, let me know what you get!

The merry pranksters at Improv Everywhere have decided to send Star Wars' flopsy-mopsy Jar Jar Binks into one of the most inhospitable territories in this arm of the galaxy: the New York City subway system. And the indigenous life forms don't take to his brand of whimsy.
This wouldn't be the first time the Improv Everywhere troupe has turned to sci-fi as the source of one of its merry japes: They arranged for the Ghostbusters to cleanse the New York Public Library's Rose Reading Room and staged the opening sequence of Star Wars: Episode IV—A New Hope on NYC's 6 train.
But now they've decided to see what would happen if Jar Jar tried to make friends with typical commuters.
Yeah, that went about as well as could be expected. Really, he's lucky he didn't end up naked and penniless on a one-way train to Philly.

Greetings from
Capitol Hill:
This week the House began to work on the budgeting bills for next year. We were able to pass the transportation budget bill, and now we are starting to look at the budget for higher education and the Administration/Regulation budget. To balance our budget, we plan to cut back the Administration/Regulation budget by $1,995,769. We are also planning to slim down the higher education budget by $1,111,995. The House Republican budget target for Administration/Regulation is $49,800,000 and our target for higher education is $977,578,044. Hopefully we will be discussing these budget targets in committee and on the floor next week.
The issue of school funding continues to be a hot topic here at the statehouse, and I continue to receive correspondence about this issue. I'd like to offer a little history on the budget from the late 2000's to help explain why House Republicans feel so strongly about the principles to produce a balanced and sustainable state budget. These principles include, "we will spend less than the state collects; and, we will not use one-time money to fund ongoing expenditures."
Past history illustrates why these principles are so important. For the four years Democrats controlled both houses of the legislature and four years of the Governor's office, they spent the following percentages of ongoing revenue:
n FY 2008 102.23%
n FY 2009 - 105.52%
n FY 2010 107.85%
n FY 2011 111.82%
During the 2010 session (FY 2011), Democrats authorized nearly $600 million in spending from the Cash Reserve ($267.4 million) and federal stimulus money ($323.9 million).
Those spending practices resulted in financial disaster for the state. As Governor Culver left office back in 2011, he had forced a $500 million property tax increase, borrowed over $800 million that costs double to pay back, and left a $700 million spending gap for the new governor and legislature. Spending more money than the state collects has consequences.
This is why House Republicans are so determined to take a stand and propose what they feel is a fiscally sustainable budget. Spending no more than ongoing revenue is the standard we have based our budgets on during the past four years. The Legislative Services Agency (LSA) estimates that ongoing revenue, based upon the difference between last year's expenditures and this year's revenue estimate, is $180 million. Out of that $180 million, funds will have to be provided for education, $100 million; property tax relief, $132 million; and $206 million for Medicaid. The total of just these three built-in expenditures is $438 million. When the ongoing revenue of $180 million is applied, a difference of $258 million will result.
Below are several bills the House passed this week:
This bill is the first budget bill the House has passed this year. It is the transportation operations budget. HF 637 Appropriates a total of $365.2 million to the Department of Transportation. This number includes $49.9 million from the Road Use Tax Fund, $315.3 million from the Primary Road Fund and $2,872 FTE positions. These numbers are for FY 2016. There are no appropriations from the general fund in this budget. HF 637 also includes provisions for FY 2017 by appropriating 50% of the FY 2016 Road Use Tax Fund and Primary Road Fund levels for FY 2017.
HF 646 modifies the uses of the Physical Plant and Equipment Levy (PPEL) funds for our public schools to include repairs of transportation equipment used for transporting students if the repair is in excess of $2,500. This bill applies to budget years beginning on or after July 1, 2015. The purpose of this bill is to allow schools the flexibility to use PPEL funds for common sense financial decisions such as repairing a bus instead of being forced to buy a new one.
After being passed in the House earlier this session, HF 397 struggled in the Senate until a compromise was reached this week. As you may recall, this bill originally defined "occasional work" in state child labor laws. The Senate attached a strike-after amendment which changes the bill to adjust the permit process for 14 and 15 year olds.
The amendment changes the process so that the issuance of permits will go solely through the labor commissioner's office. Signatures by the parent and the employer are still necessary as well as documentation such as a birth certificate to provide proof of age. In its current form, HF 397 adjusts the permit process for 14 and 15 year olds in a beneficial way, and will make this process easier for students who wish to get a summer job. I am glad to have been able to run this bill on the House floor, and I am glad to see it pass. HF 397 is now on its way to the Governor for his signature.

Next Stop: Worthington
Worthington is a popular destination on the Experience Columbus FAM Trip
On August 28, Experience Columbus once again included Worthington in its FAM (familiarization) trip, noting the city as one of the most popular Columbus-area destinations for the group tour market. The theme of this year's tour was "How did they do that?" And Worthington was the perfect fit with several experiential attractions like the American Whistle Corporation, The Candle Lab and Igloo Letterpress. This year tour attendees represented six tour companies from five states, including California.
After experiencing several areas of Columbus, the operators arrived in Worthington at the American Whistle Corporation where every tour begins with these words: "Ever wonder how the ball gets inside a whistle?" The personally guided 45-minute factory tour shows the inner workings of a small but thriving American manufacturing plant and entertains with interesting factoids about the whistles and the machinery.
From there, the participants headed over to The Candle Lab where they chose from more than 120 scents to create their very own custom fragrance candle. And at the nearby Igloo Letterpress, the attendees made their own cards on antique printing presses. Owner Allison Chapman shared her personal story about coming to Worthington and how she inherited her grandfather's antique printing presses. She then took the tour operators for a glimpse at the future home of Igloo Letterpress on High Street.
After a full morning of activity, the tour operators walked down the street to The Worthington Inn for lunch. The Worthington Inn has been rated one of the top ten restaurants in Columbus since 2004, and executive chef Tom Smith, who believes strongly in the farmer-to-chef concept, works with local purveyors to feature locally grown fruits, vegetables, meats and other food products.
FAM trips are designed to increase product or destination knowledge. In this instance, the primary goal of the trip was to sell Greater Columbus as an exciting destination for future tour group visits, and Worthington was honored to be a part of the Experience Columbus itinerary.
"The Convention & Visitors Bureau of Worthington is proud to showcase the variety of attractions that Worthington has to offer the group tour market," said Executive Director Mindy Mace. "Our experiential packages are unique and always receive rave reviews from the tour operators who visit Worthington during these FAM tours."

Innovation is a buzz today - with fast paced change in technology & disruptions in business/operating frameworks, now endemic in the 4th industrial revolution.
Everything is changing - there's lots of innovation that is on and it seems as though nothing is the same anymore…new products/versions are launched every few months (from years earlier)…and simply put innovation is the name of the game
Yes, innovation is important - but easier said than done - right?
Meanwhile thanks to digital world and a steady increase in customer expectations, particularly online, the customer experience is becoming very important. Customer experience management is often seen to be operations improvement, including making customer experience(CX) frictionless across all tough points including digital & all stages of the product lifecycle - for which getting customer feedback& measuring customer experience is key.
To improve & smoothly manage CX actual product & service delivery across various touch points and stages of customer journey & lifecycle are mapped & made frictionless and customer experience/satisfaction measured at various/all customer moments, to ensure its smooth consistently - possible only if there is a simple tech-cum-operations mechanism in place, to seek/capture feedback from customers & iron out fault lines.
Delivering a superior customer experience consistently, requires tremendous operating rigor entailing integrating org structure, operations, people, processes and technology with product improvement, fulfilment & service channels, into a well-oiled smooth operation orchestrated around the customer - with a no siloes approach/metrics, which not just delivers a good customer experience consistently, but simultaneously welcomes, solicits customer feedback/complaints, and leverages the same to continuously drive product, process improvements.
So coming back to innovation - isn't that about new technologies? Yes, new technologies do play a significant role, but how can we figure out which new technologies to adopt, and what changes to implement in the product, fulfilment, services & other support functions with the new technologies?
Tapping & mining customer feedback used for CX improvement, as mentioned, is critical to figure out what to improve i.e also provides answers on what to innovate, the technologies to deploy and how to innovate.
So CX management practices & operating disciplines are equally important for driving innovation - which is why we believe that CX management is today a strategic imperative for innovation & for organisations to thrive in the 4th industrial revolution.

Lulo 'Naranjilla'/
✨"Anti-social behaviour is a trait of intelligence in a world full of conformists." Nikola Tesla✨ If you think differently, you're looked upon as having a problem like ADHD or dyslexia. When in fact they are the very ones who's minds haven't yet been tainted by the rigid system that be🌅. Lulo fruit is also known as 'Naranjilla' or 'Little Orange'. Native to South America. Part of the nightshade family. This too like most fruits, contains hundreds of edible seeds, covered with a green jelly-like substance. Tastes like a mix between a kiwi, pineapple and rhubarb with hints of lemon👍🏽🍋.
- Yet another super fruit with countless benefits, here are just a few; Boosts immune, improves circulation, stimulates production of while blood cells, eliminates constipation, bloating and gastric ulcers🙏🏽🌞🌅.
- Wondrous one you grow so high, sometimes higher than the birds fly, from a simple seed to a delicious feed, how grateful I am that you're here with me😃

Trends Straight From Pinterest into Your Home!/
If you're anything like us you can spend an inordinate amount of time on Pinterest. It's a great source of inspiration for the home, but sometimes it's almost like there's too much inspiration! So many different trends, and so little time…
So here are 4 of the most popular trends from Pinterest which you can easily recreate in your own interior, using patterned wallpapers, wall murals, stickers, prints, and posters.
The Terrazzo Trend
Stones and minerals have been very popular in interior design trends for several seasons. This time, the trendy terrazzo, fashionable in the 1970's and 1980's is back, which in a modern, refreshed form takes on a unique charm and futuristic character.
The new terrazzo is refined, and elegant, but at the same time unpretentious and light. Interior decorators suggest moving a stone motif from the floor to the surface of walls, accessories and even furniture.
Wallpaper and wall murals resembling terrazzo is a great idea for decorating the walls in the dining room, kitchen, hall and living room, and in a colorful edition also in a kid's room.
The Trend for Sage
In times when the 24-hour day is too short, and life is quick, like never before, we are looking for peace and solace. No wonder that now a delicate, greenish color with a soothing name and properties has become a hit.
The color inspired by the herb with healing properties and culinary qualities is a combination of green and blue, through which gray and purples break through. We can find several shades of sage in the Pantone collection: light Desert Sage, silvery Silver Sage, olive Sage Green and deeply saturated Sagebrush Green.
Sage in its delicacy and restraint can be the leading color that will not dominate the space, nor overwhelm even in a small interior. A room with wallpaper in the color of sage will become fresh and more cozy.
If greenery does not satisfy our appetite for color, we can combine it with beige and browns, creating calmness and naturalness. Sage also goes well with an appetizing peach, pastel lavender and sunny yellow.
The Trend for Decorative tiles
Mosaics and ornaments straight from One Thousand and One Nights decorate kitchens and bathrooms all over the world today, and their popularity is not diminishing. Patchwork tiles, each one of them is a way to express a pronounced and stylish interior for people who are not afraid to experiment with color.
A mish mash of colors and patterns on the wall is a ready arrangement, which does not require thoughtful treatments and sophisticated accessories. It's the ornaments that play the main role and it's going well.
People who dream about colorful tiles no longer have to worry about the difficult renovation and replacement of ceramic tiles. Modern tiles stickers will work on kitchen and bathroom tiles, and if we get bored we can simply remove and replace them, or return to the original interior design.
Big wall art
Wall galleries are growing right before our eyes! Stylists suggest prints and posters in large format - the bigger, the better. Effective, eye-catching decorations can hang on the wall, and if there is no space for them, we can put them on the floor, desk or dresser.
Large prints and posters will work in every style. All painting techniques and styles are allowed: abstraction, classicism, modernism, photo-realism. Size and exposure are important in a place where everyone can see them.

CHRISTIANSBURG, Va. – Surely two 40-plus women enjoying a glass of red wine and some Trader Joe's cocoa truffles late on a Saturday should not giggle so loudly. But the tinkling sound of two dozen canning jars full of hot, honey-yellow lard sealing themselves sent us into paroxysms.
"Oh, there went another one. And another one! He He!"
We were celebrating an afternoon spent reclaiming the self-sufficient heritage that since the 1950s has almost been lost. Despite the sneering of many who do not share our love of hill country food, we relished the day spent cubing and rendering about 30 pounds of white pork fat to put by for the winter, and to give at Christmas to a few select family and friends.
Moreover, I planned to make some Christmas pies with my share of the backwoods treasure. And the "cracklin's," which are the crunchy bits left after the rendering, would go into cornbread.
Some had already told me to keep my lard. Which at first made me chuckle, because I did enjoy the shock factor of saying, "Hey, you're on the lard list!"
But after a while the condescension got to me. Rural foodways are still good for a sneer – even among the people who are their heirs.
Lard can be found in ethnic markets, especially Mexican grocery stores and even in some supermarkets in areas with immigrant populations. But leaf lard, prized for baking is hard to find. It comes from the soft fat around the kidneys and the loin of the pig, so has a neutral, non-piggy flavor.
It's recommended by Chris Kimball, now of of Milk Street kitchen. In fact, Kimball had many years ago piqued my interest about leaf lard in a column he wrote for Cook's Illustrated magazine. Because I could never find it in the grocery store, I hadn't had a chance to experiment.
But upon meeting a butcher, he told me there was no market for it. Rather than going into flaky pies and crisping up fried chicken, the fat was sent out with the scraps to a protein recycling company.
I told my friend Ellen about it. Unlike me, her family had kept alive most of the old food ways, from shearing their own sheep to raising their own eggs. She too missed the flavor of perfectly fried potatoes and onions, and the flaky, moist pie crusts leaf lard yields.
I had never tasted this delicacy. My grandmother, like other women of her generation discarded most of the foodways of her Grayson County ancestors for frozen pie crusts and tubs of Crisco touted in magazines and on television. Her favorite pie was a boxed concoction called "Dream Whip."
My mother went further, feeding me almost exclusively from boxes and cans. When I left home at 18, I swore I would never eat another serving of "instant" mashed potatoes.
Luckily, this prejudice against real food is easing, as urban chefs, food writers and young, urban foodies in their apartment kitchens are looking back to their great grandmothers' pantry shelves for alternatives to what Michael Pollan others call "Frankenfood."
According to a recent piece in "Food&Wine" magazine, lard contains just 40 percent saturated fat, compared with nearly 60 percent for butter. Its level of monounsaturated fat (the "good" fat) is 45 percent, double butter's 23 or so percent. Because lard can be heated to higher temperatures than olive oil or butter, food fried in it absorbs much less fat.
On Sunday morning, I picked up each pint jar of lard, now turned a milky white. I peeked in the freezer at the gallon Ziploc bags full of cracklin's. Then I turned back to my Christmas list, and, like Santa, marked which had been naughty, and which had been nice.

Lost Castle (REVIEW)
written by Justin Prince (@prince_justin)
Sometimes a game can go to great lengths to punish the player, the level of difficulty coupled with the sweet rewarding feeling you get when you overcome some of the harder parts. This is something that gives a gamer like me a certain euphoria that can't be matched. Lost Castle delivers exactly what your inner masochist craves and more. Like Dark Souls meets Maple Story. Cute retro graphics with some incredibly challenging gameplay make for a fun romp that keeps me coming back… no matter how many times I die.
The story is all about castle, overrun by a band of goblins. You are a random adventurer, your job is to explore the castle and kill as many of the things that go bump in the night. Gameplay is a rogue-like with randomly generated dungeons. Getting from point A to point B differs each time. When your character dies, there is no respawn, there is no check point, you lose all your items and start over from the beginning as a different adventurer.
Your weapons are randomized as well, one run you may start off with a spear… the next a magic wand… it's all about how lucky (or unlucky) you can be. Combat is simple; you have a basic attack, a special attack, and an ability that uses SP (which recharges over time). Staying mobile, attacking, jumping, and generally making sound decisions about how you engage with enemies will either make or break a run.
Upon death, not all is lost. As you take down all manner of Goblinkind, you collect souls and upon your death you can redeem these souls for upgrades to your character. From increased attack and defense to breaking allies out of the very prison you spawn in each time, this grind is what pushes you to go as far as you can. Unfortunately, nothing can carry over… so if you spend as many souls as you are able to, or worse… are short a few even for one upgrade… you are forced to sacrifice all souls and start all over again from scratch.
Gameplay is easy to pick up, the simple combat makes jumping in fairly easy despite how challenging the core gameplay is. Moving around does leave a bit to be desired, I feel like it would have helped to have a dodge ability.
Navigating the castle never feels like too big of an undertaking. While each room is random, there generally are no more than two doors to choose from. While this isn't a traditional dungeon crawler, you can't backtrack most rooms and unless a path leads you down to a hidden chest or a shop, there really is no going back.
Items will be plentiful, from HP restoring foodstuffs to weapons and armor to better keep the fight coming. You'll have to find the perfect balance between using your items frequently or being more conservative. Since your items never carry over between deaths, it always sucks when you make a few bad moves and you end up losing all your stuff.
You can tackle these challenges alone or bring a friend, in my review I never did get the change to find a friend to play with… but hey, if I enjoyed it so much just flying solo… I'm sure adventuring with a friend would be twice as nice. Like the double mint gum of rogue-like games.
While there isn't much to the story, that's okay in a game like this. The narrative is what you make it and the ongoing challenge of seeing how far can you go make for truly interesting gameplay. Play by yourself or play with a friend, I'm sure you'll make a good old time with Lost Castle. Despite wishing for more movement abilities, it's a small gripe for such a complete package. The one thing that may turn off the more casual player is that this game is pretty damn hard, while that isn't a bad thing (per se) I do see that fact turning off gamers that may have come for the cute graphics… but didn't expect the challenge.
+ Endearing visuals
+ VERY Challenging
+ Simple to pick up gameplay
- Needs more movement options

The 'relevant technology for purpose' principle employed by Hino in designing, engineering and building its range of 500-Series trucks has found favour with Drifters.
The Hino 1626 truck chassis cabs which form the basis of a fleet of 18 overland safari vehicles are proving Africa-friendly in terms of reliability, durability, ease of maintenance and repair when operating in remote regions in Africa.
Drifters operations director Steve Maidment says, "We are very satisfied with the performance of the Hinos in operations that are varied but can be very tough, particularly when storms ruin the gravel roads and rivers rise. Our overland vehicles, which each carry 16 tourists, are often more than 1 000km from the nearest dealer, so reliability is very important.'
Maidment says the Hino truck-based safari vehicles have now clocked up 3,6-million km, often under harsh conditions, and have been virtually trouble free except for a couple of broken spring blades and a differential spider gear breaking due to getting stuck and spinning the rear wheel.
"These trucks are built strong, with big wheel bearings and drive shafts. Many of the steering, suspension and transmission parts have grease nipples, adding to ease of maintenance and subsequent reliability. They certainly make my life easier!"
Drifters, which was established in 1983 with one well-used minibus, has grown significantly over the years and now has 30 full-time guides. A variety of different brands and vehicle types have been used for its touring operations in sub-Saharan Africa over the years.
The switch to Hino came in 2010 after a lengthy study and evaluation of potentially suitable vehicles available on the local market. There are now 18 of these Hino vehicles being used in operations that extend from five to 24 days, with the latter trip involving travelling from Cape Town to Johannesburg via Namibia, Botswana, Zambia and Zimbabwe. Other countries on the Drifters schedule are Mozambique, Kenya, Uganda, Malawi, Kenya and Tanzania.
Tours operate on tight schedules and most of the tourists are from overseas (especially Germany, Netherlands, Belgium and Scandinavia) so the reliability of the transport is vital in meeting the timetable and providing outstanding customer service. The success of the Drifters business can be seen in the many tourists who return to South Africa to participate in subsequent Drifters tours after their first experience.
All the safari vehicle bodies are tailor-made by the company itself. Vehicles have to transport a full complement of camping equipment, such as tents, stretchers and chairs, as well as being equipped with a refrigerator, freezer, food storage area and a self-contained kitchen unit with cooking and washing up facilities.
The manufacturing facility is based in Muldersdrift, near Krugersdorp. A number of bus and truck body builders were used in the early days to build safari vehicles, but the requirements are so specialised that it was decided to take manufacture of the vehicle bodies in house. This was a bold move that has proved very successful over many years.
The facility where the vehicles are built also houses the maintenance and repair workshop, as well as various storerooms and a facility for making and repairing tents. It has a staff complement of 15.
The frames of the safari vehicle body and several of the panels are made of stainless steel, which is corrosion resistant, while most body panels are made of glass fibre, which is light, strong and easy to repair. Some of the bodies are eight to nine years old and showing no sign of corrosion. The vehicles themselves cover between 70 000 and 80 000 km a year. They are serviced at Hino Honeydew while under warranty and then maintained by Drifters at the Muldersdrift workshop.
Vehicles have dual fuel tanks, each with a capacity of 450 litres. There is a 400-litre water tank. Huge, panoramic windows which can be opened provide excellent views for occupants, who are seated on adjustable Isringhausen seats as used in many truck cabs.
Bodies can be removed from one truck chassis and bolted onto another one, which a big plus.
Drifters manages its own tyres, which often involves repairing punctures and other damage or scrapping tyres before the tread is worn down due to damage in off-road operations. The large wheels, with 10 studs, and the large tyres are other features of the Hino which make them well-suited to this overland touring operation.

Or so the weathermen say. Today and a BIG storm tomorrow.
Will it ever end?
Today, 3-6 inches-bad afternoon drive from the sounds of it. oh YUK! Lets see how long it takes me to get home today.
Tomorrow think we'll be home- could get 20 or more inches-but a foot will be the low end...don't think we'll have school tomorrow.
I should hope not at least.
And it's now February...could this possibly be IT for bad weather?
(no way, too early in the winter!)
Get my arms ready for some shoveling I guess.
In a more upbeat moment-
Here's another of my fleur de lis cards for Valentine's Day. This time a very simple die cut shape, some 7Gypsies tape, a punched circle, a die cut Cupid and some Prima gemstone hearts. Finished off with the word Love by Stampington.

This week I have come to terms with the fact that I havn't allocated myself enough time for meetings during the day. Though I am only attending three of the five classes I am registered for, Balancing my Thesis project with the MxR Lab, classes, My Library work study job, relationships, keeping my living space clean, and being the president of USC's Virtual Reality club is proving to be to much. Somethings got to give. Unfortunately It looks like it will have to be my work study job. This will free up another 10 hours per week to dedicate to my thesis project. Priorities.
This upcoming week I will be meeting with a myriad of different people to help me iron our more details of the production portion of my thesis:
Mike Fink: how to set up a greenscreen for 360 shooting? Will a gopro be feasible to shoot with on a greenscreen?
Vickie Huang (Stitching Pro): Which camera should I use for the highest quality composite with the greenscreen? Can she help me shoot/Stitch?
Alan/Joe Wallenstein: confirming that I can shoot in Zemekis at the end of October.
This week I met with my dancers and went over the story with them and explained to them why it is different that this project is in 360 degrees. we will have weekly check ins on thursdays for the next 6 weeks until the shoot day. but I have reserved zemekis for rehearsal days to ensure that they will have practice time in Zemekis. I will also have to order white mats for them to dance on in zemekis. Unfortunately, Rissi, the female dancer got sick over the weekend however, so this might put us a week behind in Choreography. This is alright because the shoot isn't till the end of October.

Thus, less energy is used to heat up or cool down the air, results on lower energy bill. Moreover, in lobby and corridors, energy saving lightings is used to reduce local pollution and the emissions of greenhouse gases. About the sleeping area, the hotel installed heat pumps which recover heat from the chillers. Using heat pumps can reduce the carbon emissions and it has an efficient conversion rate of energy to heat. Besides, Longhand Place hotel use treated seawater for toilet flushing, this can reduce the usage of fresh water and thus cut the water cost.
In the eating or drinking area, in-house organic herbal garden is developed that supply the kitchen and bar use.

The journey
In my last post, I spoke about the trip to Lisbon. Tonight I want to close this chapter sharing with you my physical and mental journey.
I was promoted brown belt in October, and had my first competition in November, I lost in the first fight...A blessing in disguise. On that day I knew I had to work hard and harder to be ready to compete in the European Championship 2016.
My plan was the following: Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday 5-6.30am BJJ DRILLS and Techniques with my Friend and Purple Belt training partner Luke. Monday 7-8pm and Saturday 12-1.30pm BJJ Sparring at Icon BJJ Norwich under the supervision of my coach black belt two stripes Steve Cowan.
Conditioning with the Train For Life Crew on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday 6.45-7.30am. Spinning on Tuesday 6-6.45pm, Friday 6.45-7.30am and one hour either Saturday or Sunday.
Heavy lifting wednesday 6-6.45am and Saturday or Sunday 6-6.30am.
On top the training, I had to do something I do not recommend to anybody. I had to lose 5kg in 25 days. I had to lose the little fat I had accumulated over Xmas. I am quite a lean person so I don't have a lot to lose anyway, so it was really hard to be on a diet, to put up with the training, my job, be a good father and a good husband.
I failed as a father and a husband, I was a shadow at home...I am a driven and focused person, so in order to achieve my goals I had to prioritise. It is hard to say but it is the truth, you cannot achieve your goals without being obssessed.
The obssession, the drive the focus lead to the pressure, the responsibilities.
My trip to PRESSURE LAND:
When you train so much, you seem to only think about your competition. You feel external and internal pressure.
External pressure comes from You guys, the people who care for me, see me training on a daily or read my tale on Facebook or Instagram. Your support is priceless or actually does have a price... I felt OBLIGED TO REPAY YOU BY ACHIEVING SOMETHING BIG.
That payback leads to the Internal pressure.
I competed in over 20 BJJ tournaments and won beyond 80% of my over 50 fights including 2 Gold, 1 silver at European Championship, 1 Gold and 1 Bronze at the British Open, 3 Gold at the English Open....
A long story short, the PRESSURE I felt during the preparation of this tournament was hardly sustainable.
I wanted to win so badly that I was doubting of myself, I was scared, nervous. I was like a novice, like someone who was competing for the first time. But it wasn't MY FIRST TIME, I WAS BORN A COMPETITOR, I COMPETED MY WHOLE LIFE. I COMPETED SO FIERCELY THAT I BECAME A CHAMPION, WITH HIS PRIVILEGES AND HIS DUTIES.
What I have been suffering during the last week is the weight of my duties.
I have to be a role model, a source of inspiration a True Leader and A WINNER.
What competing taught me over the years is that the pressure disappears as soon as the competition starts. Guess what...I felt good as soon as I get in the venue. I felt free and ready to fight as soon as I was facing my opponent. Once in front of him I was ready to die to make things happen.
Once I reached the semi-final, I was at peace with myself as I completed my part of the deal which was to bring a medal home.
In all fairness the guys who did Silver and Gold were better than me today. I will be back to train on Tuesday as I plan to beat them the next we meet.

Before you launch into the installation process, you should collect some basic information about your system. Generally, Red Hat's installer will successfully probe your system and discover its configuration, but when it fails to do so, you must be prepared to supply the required information. Otherwise, you'll be forced to terminate the installation procedure, obtain the information, and then start all over again.
Table 2-1 specifies the configuration information you need and gives you space to conveniently record the information as you gather it. If your system currently runs Windows, you can obtain much of the needed information by using Windows utilities, as explained in the next section. To obtain the remaining information, you can consult your system documentation and the documentation for any devices installed by you. If your documentation is missing or incomplete, you may need to contact your hardware vendor or manufacturer. Alternatively, you may be able to find the needed information on the manufacturer's web site; use a search engine such as Google (which is powered by Linux) to discover the URL of the web site.
Sometimes, you'll need to examine your system's BIOS settings or open your system's case and examine the installed hardware; consult your system documentation to learn how to do so. Finally, if you're installing Linux in a large organization such as a business or a university, your system administrator ...

- 1 (16 oz) bag frozen organic tropical fruit blend (I purchased mine from Trader Joe's)
- 1 ripe banana
- Water
1 Fill bottom of blender with 1 ½ inch of water. Add in bag of frozen fruit and chopped up banana.
2 Put on lid and start blending on low for about 30 seconds. Increase speed to high and blend until smooth and creamy.
You can also make a strawberry or blueberry sorbet. Just buy a bag of frozen strawberries or blueberries and use that in place of the bag of tropical fruit blend.
Enjoy! This is especially good on a hot day!
