Our volunteers assist the students and staff in countless ways. We welcome you to join our team of extraordinary volunteers. If you're interested in volunteering, please contact the Program Director, Michelle Duval via e-mail: email@example.com
At GPA, we are fortunate and grateful to have many volunteers who donate their time and talent to support our overall mission:
Liana Almonte (Volunteer) Liana Almonte is a Cambridge resident and a first year volunteer with GPA's ESOL program. During the day she works as a Quality Assurance specialist at a biotech company and in her free time enjoys cooking, yoga, running and seeing live music. Liana has a passion for language learning and being a first generation American, knows first hand the struggles immigrants can face in America. She is grateful for the opportunity to give back to the Boston community, and looks forward to class with the students each week!
Deanne Peterson (Volunteer) Deanne Peterson has taught young students in Cambridge for the past 15 years. Recently retired from full-time teaching, she continues to substitute several days each week, and is currently a volunteer at the Gardner Pilot Academy's ESOL Program for Adults. Deanne feels fortunate to play a role in helping adults increase their fluency in English, which will improve their access to opportunities in the community!
Jannah Kalai( Volunteer) Jannah Kalai is currently a student at Boston University studying International Relations. This is her first year with GPA, as she began volunteering in September of 2018. She is excited to create a vibrant and productive classroom atmosphere, and watch the students progress over the course of the year. In addition to volunteering, Jannah enjoys traveling and supporting the Red Sox.
Melissa Banta works as a curator at Harvard University. Her specialty is historical photographs (Harvard has over 10 million of them). She also works at Mount Auburn Cemetery in Cambridge. She writes about the history of the Cemetery, where many famous people were buried. She has three children and lives in Arlington, Massachusetts.
Sam Bessey has volunteered at ESOL for almost a year helping adults learn English. During the day, he works as a chemical engineer in the Biotech industry designing new production facilities. Prior to the ESOL program he also tutored adults in the math section of the GED.
Terry Armstrong has a B.A. in Biology and has worked in healthcare clinical labs for 20 years. When she was younger, she lived in a house for international students for four years. It was a real education and led to an interest in politics and international affairs. Terry also had a lifelong interest in the middle east because her father worked there while she was young. Most recently, she has developed an interest in the Syrian refugee crisis and she was frustrated to sit by and unable to do something about it. She finally traveled to Greece and worked in a refugee camp for a month over the summer of 2017. When she came back she wanted to continue to help refugees and immigrants here in Boston and found the Adult Education Program at GPA did just that.
Diane Gordon has volunteered at the ESOL program at Gardner Pilot since January 2017. She was motivated to work directly with immigrants because she wants to be the face of America that reflects who we really are as a country, and to help immigrants learn the skills they need to feel safe and to pursue their own goals in the United States. In her professional life, she has worked with community based nonprofit organizations for over 35 years as a leader, manager, and consultant.
Amy Gulliksen started volunteering with GPA when she moved to Boston in November 2016. She loves to help teach English as a form of empowerment and community engagement and previously spent a year teaching English in East Jerusalem. Amy works as a project coordinator at Brandeis University with a research institute that studies wealth inequality.
Christina Lima is a healthcare professional who enjoys volunteering in her spare time. She started as a volunteer in October 2017 and likes to help ESOL learners achieve their literacy goals. She also appreciates learning about different cultures and languages and being involved in GPA's community. In addition to volunteering, Christina enjoys cooking, arts and crafts, and running.
Jacob Sajinyan currently works as a Treasury Analyst at Brandeis University. He first got into tutoring as a sophomore in college, where he tutored courses ranging from electrical engineering to chemistry. He has always wanted to get back into tutoring, and the adult ESOL at GPA was the perfect opportunity. Dancing and traveling are two of his most favorite hobbies.
Jane Tenenbaum is a book designer, artist, and occasional editor. An avid bike rider, gardener, and French speaker, she is happy to share her love of the English language and its wide and expressive vocabulary. She lives in Cambridge with her cat, Ceci. This is her first year at GPA.
Hermelinda Zegarra is from Chaclacayo, Peru. After my daughter enrolled college I decide to became a volunteer at Gardner pilot academy ESOL program. I was a student years ago in this program. I really enjoy assisting the teacher and students in class and seeing how the students after a long day of hard work come to classes eager to learn English. My hobbies included embroidering, knitting,cooking, and gardening.
Elisabeth Sepulveda (Child Care Provider Volunteer) Elisabeth is an Allston resident who works as a Curriculum Developer and Educational Technology Specialist at EXPLO, an educational enrichment program. She has a Bachelors degree
in Cognition and Education and has previously worked as a tutor, mentor, instructor, and program developer.

Fitmas - Christmas Gifts for the Fit
Posted by Bridget Freeman on Dec 12, 2016 in #Ambassador Blogs.
Where has the year gone? Christmas is fast approaching and that means it's time to get shopping.
Because Happy Wife = Happy Life I've put together a few ideas that might help you out with gifts for the fitness-loving woman in your life!
You can either mix and match or look at the same items in various price ranges.
My top three tips for buying gifts
- Listen throughout the year, especially in the couple of months leading up to Christmas and take note of anything your partner drops hints about. Many women will let you know if they see something they really like when they first see it advertised. So that's your chance to write it down and chase it up later. That way you know you are giving her something she will love. Leave plenty of time for delivery if you are ordering from outside of the state or country.
- Ask them for a few ideas about what they would like or have them write out a 'Wish List.' This way there is still the element of surprise, but you know they will love whatever you choose.
- If you are buying fitness gear, make sure to emphasise that you love your partner as they are. Ensure they know you're not buying them gym gear because you think they need to lose weight or tone up, but because you know they love being active. This will save them time on shopping later on, so they will have more time to spend with their family and friends this holiday season.
Bargains and cheap presents are still thoughtful
- New fitness clothing. You may be surprised to find this in the bargain section, but with a bit of savvy shopping you can easily do it. Most of my training clothing I bought on sale at Cotton On, Supre, Kmart, Target or cheap international websites for under $15. Things like socks and headbands are always welcome either on their own or as little extras to the main present. Make sure you check sizes and measurements before purchasing.
- Vouchers and gift cards. It's so much fun to go shopping after Christmas with 'free' money in your pocket! Just choose her favourite store and she will be very happy indeed. Or create your own vouchers. Your imagination can go wild then! Think about vouchers for time to herself involving a little at home spa where you run the bath, light the candles, put on some music, buy her a new thick fluffy towel and do the child minding. Or vouchers for gym time or walk time. Even vouchers for being a training partner, giving massages, car washing, hair brushing, making meals or doing all of the housework for a day. Or else a voucher for a day trip away where you do all of the organising – the options are endless!
- Candles, bath indulgence packs, hair, nail, foot and face care packs.
- Beautiful books on a subject she loves, a journal or a training diary. There are some really beautiful journals out there and you can also get them personalized. There is one that asks you a question every day and you do it for five years, which would be cool to look back on. Recipe books are also a good gift idea.
- Monthly subscription to a music streaming site, such as Spotify, or an audio book site. Put together a gym playlist for her – she will love the time and thought you have put in to it.
- Headphones.
- A supplement pack or store credit. See bulknutrients.com.au.
- Weight belt, lifting straps, hand grips, grip strengtheners, workout bands, fit ball, gloves, drink bottles – any fitness-related gear really.
- A favourite photo put in a lovely frame.
- Personalised photo or quote from her favourite fitness idol.
The mid-range gift
- New fitness clothing. You can find gorgeous fitness clothes in any price range. Don't forget shoes are also an option. Just make sure you check her size first.
- Vouchers and gift cards. The same applies as in the bargain section, but you can spend a little more.
- Gym, boot camp, functional training memberships or online training programs.
- Pamper packs including movie tickets and one-of spa or beauty treatments.
- Beautiful books on a subject she loves, or journal or training diaries. If you can spend a bit more, look at hardcovers and be sure to personalise them with a little message inside. I've noticed Myer do personalised messages in their Kikki K range. There are also plenty of other options – see Etsy, Ebay or just do a general online search.
- Fitness technology. Personally I love my Fitbit HR and there are lots of different options in a variety of price ranges. Maybe even body fat testers, scales or wearable music devices.
- Headphones – Bluetooth ones are especially awesome.
- Cooking aids such as a rice cooker, slow cooker or blenders. Any time or effort you can save her in the kitchen will be welcome.
- Organise a cleaner, baby sitter, gardener for as many visits as you can budget for.
More of an investment than a gift
- Organise a photo shoot. Consider glamour photography, gym shoots or shoots with the family and pets. You will have forgotten how much this cost soon enough and the photos will still be some of her most treasured possessions.
- Food processor or Thermomix. My family spent about $600 on a food processor and the time, money and effort this has saved us has made it one of our best ever investments. I don't personally have a Thermomix, but they're very popular.
- A subscription to a healthy food or meal delivery service. This will save her a lot of time in the kitchen and allow her to spend more time doing the things she loves.
- Gym membership, boot camps, personal training sessions, functional fitness memberships or online coaching. With monthly payment schemes this could be the gift that keeps on giving all year.
- Fitness devices. There is a huge range of motivating devices at a range of different prices.
- Vouchers for massages, beauty treatments or day spas.
- A whizz bang coffee machine. This will also save her a lot of money on her daily coffee purchase.
- Cleaner, baby sitter or gardener. One of the greatest gifts you can give your partner is free time.
- Home exercise equipment . A bike, rower, cross trainer, stair climber, treadmill, click-change weights or something for outdoor activities, such as a mountain bike.
These are just a few ideas! The most important thing is to make sure your partner feels loved, cherished, supported and appreciated, not just at Christmas time, but all year round.
Good luck with the shopping!

TORONTO — While the core "Legend of Zelda" games have been uniformly excellent since their debut on the old Nintendo Entertainment System, some of the side projects in the land of Hyrule have been less than compelling.
The two Zelda titles released for the ill-fated Philips CD-i console have been mercilessly mocked since their release, "Link's Crossbow Training" for the Wii was a short, shallow experience and two spinoff games starring the creepy side character Tingle for the DS never even saw the light of day in North America.
"Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition," out this week for the Nintendo Switch, is another spinoff, a combination of the successful hack-and-slash formula of the "Dynasty Warriors" games with characters, settings and some mechanics from the "Legend of Zelda" series. But while this title is not going to take a place alongside "Breath of the Wild" or "Ocarina of Time" in the pantheon of great core Zelda games, it holds its own as a combat-oriented romp with a large heaping of fan service.
This is the third iteration of "Hyrule Warriors," which first saw life on the Wii U four years ago. At that time it served as a stopgap for Wii U owners desperate for a new Zelda title. A 3DS port followed in 2016 with some new features.
To leverage the Switch's fast-selling start, Nintendo included everything from the Wii U version, including downloadable content, added in the 3DS extras and beefed up the visuals for the "Definitive Edition." It's the second repackaged Wii U game to come out in the last couple of weeks after "Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze."
The Zelda universe lends itself well to the "Dynasty Warriors" concept. Players can tackle stages with a solid roster of characters from multiple Zelda titles. Obviously the omnipresent Link and Princess Zelda are options, while the imposing Darunia from "Ocarina of Time" and the mischievous Midna from "Twilight Princess" are among the other characters available to hack their way through the stages.
You will be given a time limit and a series of objectives in each level, usually defeating the big bad and protecting your allies' base of operations. Along the way you will be beset by thousands of monsters, but each character has an assortment of attacks and abilities suited to dispatching enemies en masse.
The run-of-the mill monsters pose zero threat, even in massive hordes. They are simply there to see how many you can destroy with one of the many devastating attacks at your disposal.
Combat gets more interesting when battling tougher creatures, like the large brutish Moblin, which can block your attacks with a shield or send you flying with a belly flop. These foes require you to expose a weakness by dodging an attack and countering, or by using a specific item to interrupt a special move.
Boss monsters, in a nod to the Zelda series, often have a weak spot that can be exploited by hitting them with a recently found item or weapon.
Objectives will change during the mission as immediate threats to your success arise, such as a keep under siege that needs to be saved. The number of heroes at your disposal depends on the level, but when you have control of multiple warriors it's a good idea to issue commands to them in order to tackle several tasks at once.
While the initial goals are simple, action can get pretty chaotic with enemies sometimes initiating attacks on several points of the map at once. It can be a little stressful when notifications of an ally about to fall or a keep under siege by elite forces keep popping up while fighting a boss monster. But this becomes less of an issue once you get the hang of splitting up troops and switching between hero characters.
It doesn't help that the mini map that highlights your objectives is difficult to read, particularly in handheld mode. Putting the game in pause mode to bring up the larger, clearer map helps, but also interrupts the flow.
There is a story mode which features a corrupted sorceress and some time portals to explain why all these characters from disparate games are appearing in the same title. This is not a narrative-driven game, but the story is certainly serviceable and links up the stages adequately.
After finishing a level you can go back and try it again with different characters and with all the items you acquired since first completing it. Some items can only be obtained from giving a level another go, so this adds some re-playability for the completist gamer.
There is also an "adventure mode," which offers shorter missions played out in settings from previous Zelda games that can be a quick and fun way to level up characters and get upgrades.
"Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition" gives Zelda fans a way to play as their favourite characters in a breezy, combat-heavy adventure. It's doesn't reach the sky-high standard of a core Zelda title, but as a spinoff it delivers.
"Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition" is rated T for teen games and up, and retails for about $80.

Hello, I am a Tesla X owner that bought my vehicle because of the Falcon doors and the ease of loading my wheelchair. However,I have a dilemma that could occur if someone parks next to me and prevents me from exiting the vehicle. This could also prevent me from charing in an emergency when I can't simply find another charger. I would assume other people with disabilities such as walkers, crutches ect might have some difficulty. Please let's urge TESLA to create "Handicap charging stations." Please if you read this comment if you would like this feature would be helpful for you or others that you transport.
Sounds like a reasonable request
I have seen some in the past
Quite a few of the SCs out there have a designated handicap stall. But certainly not all of them.

Peculiar? Check.
Colourful? Yep.
Idiosyncrasies everywhere? You know it.
Movie director Wes Anderson has a very distinctive style (you know it if you've seen any of his films), and now you can actually live it in real life! If you happen to visit Milan, Italy, you can step into a café that feels like one of Anderson's movie sets.
Called Bar Luce, it opened to the public on May 9. Anderson lent his stylings to the café "to make it a bar I would want to spend my own non-fictional afternoons in."
Of course, Bar Luce features two pinball machines, one based on Anderson's short film Castello Cavalcanti, and the other on The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou. The wallpaper looks like it was ripped off the walls of The Grand Budapest Hotel.

We can't wait to go there and hang out with Jason Schwartzman, who's surely in that booth in the corner sipping an oolong tea.

Make no mistake about it—distracted driving is a major hazard on Maryland roadways. While state laws prohibit driving while operating a cell phone without a hands-free device, the truth is that vehicles present several other forms of distraction that the law doesn't always account for.
Five ways to avoid distracted driving
So, is marijuana legal now in Maryland?
The news that recreational marijuana is now legal in California may lead some people to think getting caught with marijuana in Maryland can't be so bad.

A friend was over a few weeks ago looking at some bowls to pick out a gift for her friend that was coming to town. She saw the cedar slab and said, "I want that! Can you make a table out of it for me?" Below is a sneak peak of the slab after a round or two of sanding...there is some crazy grain goin on in there!!

Magical Girl Problems.on April 21, 2012 at 12:01 am
My current theory is that magical girls emit a paralyzing agent of some manner during their transformation.
If she was already in her magical girl costume, what was she gonna turn into? O.O
Alternative theories:
-Time dilation
-Temporary teleportation into a sparkle dimension
My theory:
They can't stop looking for the panty shot / moment of fuzzy-lensed nakedness.
I've always assumed the magical/sparkly background is some kind of dense EM barrier. Touch at your own peril.
Just like those sorcerer guys that always use some sort of religious prayer for their spells.
NAh. It's so obvious.
There's no glitter, they just get naked, and so the bad guys fight them nonstop just so they get to see young girls strip naked everytime they come into view.
If I remember correctly, there is a Devil Hunter Yohko episode, where a demon does this exactly (or tries to at least).
The usual explanation I've seen (though it isn't perfect and doesn't explain instances where the girl's transofmration sequence actually is interrupted) is that the transformation actually happens too fast to be interrupted, and the long, drawn-out sequence is for our benefit rather than an accurate reflection.

Ary has been with Cattle Today since it was a concept in the minds of two cattlemen almost 20 years ago. They envisioned a publication for both purebred and commercial cattlemen in the Southeast. Through Ary's dedication and attention to detail, Cattle Today has grown into a widely read, biweekly publication dedicated to educating the cattle industry in the Southeast.
Ary joined the company in 1987 and helped build a slate of services for the livestock industry through Cattle Today Inc., which includes publications, advertising and Web site design and hosting.
Ary, who was raised on a purebred Santa Gertrudis ranch in Franklin, Texas, earned a degree in agricultural journalism from Texas A&M University, as well as certification in animal breeding. Her hands-on experience with a purebred cattle operation and innovative management practices have contributed to the success of the publication.
Today, Cattle Today has more than 14,000 subscribers and is delivered to all regions of the country.

Following primary education, he was apprenticed to the architectural firm of Lane and Alley in Manchester. In 1862 he established his own architectural practice in Manchester. His work reflects elements of both the Gothic Revival style of Alfred Waterhouse the neoclassical style. He is best known for his theatrical architecture including Manchester's Gaiety Theatre and a theatre at Rawtenstall. In London he altered and decorated the Lyceum Theatre. Concerned by the danger of fire in theatres, he worked with the actor Henry Irving to develop the Irving-Darbyshire safety plan which consisted of isolating separate parts of the theatre and providing fireproof escape routes. Other buildings designed by Darbyshire include Alston Hall in Lancashire, the Carnegie Library in Knutsford, and the churches of St Cyprian and St Ignatius in Salford. Alfred Darbyshire was particularly drawn to theatre. As well as building them, he acted in them and became famous for his extravagant stage productions. In 1872 he built a spectacular set for the triumphal entry of the King into London in Henry V. As a landscape painter he sketched and painted in Italy, France, Belgium and Germany. He was friendly with Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Ford Madox Brown and Walter Crane. He also wrote art criticism for the Manchester Guardian, and from 1874 to 1905 he was an art critic for The Courier. He wrote a number of books on architecture, heraldry and art – including A Booke of Olde Manchester and Salford containing about 70 illustrations of ancient buildings, which he compiled for the Jubilee celebrations of 1887; The Art of the Victorian Stage, and an autobiography titled An Architect's Experiences: Professional, Artistic and Theatrical (1897) In 1870 he married Sarah Marshall with whom he had a son and three daughters. He became a fellow of the Institute of British Architects in 1870 and was its vice-president from 1902 to 1905. He was president of the Manchester Society of Architects from 1901 to 1903. He was a member of the Manchester Academy of Fine Arts (1867), Manchester Arts Club (1870), the Brasenose Club and a council member for the Lancashire and Cheshire Antiquarian Society. He was cousin to the American industrialists and philanthropist Samuel Bancroft, whose correspondence with Darbyshire resides in the archives of the Delaware Art Museum, Wilmington.

SPRINGFIELD � A longtime breeder of Persian cats is now banned from owning any domestic animals for the next 15 years � the main provision of a plea bargain that led her to be convicted of trying to kill two felines by tossing them into the Willamette River in late November.
During an appearance in Springfield Municipal Court on Thursday afternoon, 62-year-old Betty Ann Gould entered �no contest� pleas to two misdemeanor counts of attempted aggravated animal abuse.
City prosecutors dismissed two charges of animal abandonment as part of the plea deal.
Springfield police arrested Gould a few days after officers rescued a pair of calico Persian cats from the river near Island Park.
The cats had been placed in a bag before being thrown into the water, police said.
A judge sentenced Gould to three years of probation, ordered her to pay a $1,500 fine and barred her from possessing domestic animals for the next 15 years.
�She�s not real happy about it but accepts that�s the way it�s going to be,� Gould�s attorney, James Kolstoe, said Friday of the no-pets restriction.
Gould also was sentenced to five days in jail, but will not serve any additional time behind bars because she spent about four days in a Lane County Jail cell after her arrest on Dec. 3.
Gould had been scheduled to contest the charges at a trial next week, but instead agreed to resolve the case through a plea deal with prosecutors.
By pleading no contest, Gould avoided formally admitting guilt but faced the same penalties as she would have had she entered guilty pleas.
Springfield Animal Control officer Brian Austin said he conducted a thorough check of Gould�s Thurston area property on Thursday afternoon, and found no evidence that any cats were still living there.
The city will make follow-up visits to ensure that Gould continues to comply with the animal ban.
�I went in every room and did not see a cat in the entire place,� Austin said. He added that Gould was �extremely cooperative� during the visit and thanked him.
Investigators found an estimated 50 to 60 Persians at Gould�s home while she was in jail. The cats were being cared for at the time by her son, police said.
Gould told authorities that she gave away all of her cats to breeders and friends in recent weeks, Austin said.
For years, Gould has operated the Snowbunnies Persians cattery out of her home.
The two cats that police rescued from the river are healthy and living with a family in Eugene.
Intense public interest surrounded Gould�s case. Protesters picketed outside her Springfield hair salon after her release from jail, and several petitions were circulated in the community among people who wanted to see Gould lose her right to own animals.
�We never stopped receiving calls regarding the cats and (Gould�s) conduct,� Austin said. �It was definitely overwhelming at some points.�
Kolstoe, a Eugene attorney, said the public reaction to the criminal allegations played into Gould�s decision to settle the case rather than contest the charges at a trial.
�People do react emotionally to these kinds of things, and that has to be factored in when you think about whether or not to take something to trial,� Kolstoe said.
Jill Winans of the Willamette Animal Guild in Eugene said Friday that she was pleased to hear that Gould will not be permitted to own animals for the next 15 years.
Winans had written one of the petitions regarding Gould.
�This is good news,� Winans said. �We don�t care about the ($1,500) fine or jail time. We just don�t want these kinds of people to have animals.�

Law and Economics Approaches to Bid Rigging

Law and Economics Approaches to Bid Rigging
Stefan E. Weishaar
Little more than two decades ago, Japan was widely regarded as being one of the strongest economies in the world, about to overtake the United States. Much feared as an overwhelming competitor, it was praised for its low unemployment figures, its harmonic labour relations, quality improvement practices (kaizen), its good supplier relations, its effective ministerial guidance and social peace. Much of what was formerly seen as its key assets in growth are currently viewed as its liabilities, hindering progressive change. Reform was often seen to be obstructed by senior politicians, bureaucratic considerations and the vested interests of some business sectors to maintain the status quo. Today, the intimate relationship between bureaucrats, politicians and business – known as the "iron triangle" – has lost much of its power. Doubtless, in its recent history, Japan has faced a number of socioeconomic problems, which demanded prompt and cohesive attention. Among these were bad debts, which have piled up as a result of the investment bubble and have led the financial sector to the brink of a banking crisis. Given the opaqueness of the system with its strong monopolization of information, predictions of the magnitude of the bad debts have ranged from 8 to 30 per cent of the gross domestic product (GDP).

Hello there fashionistas! The September fashion craze has just started and even though I am far away in Africa, I am watching from afar the trends from the runway.
So we're going to talk about Milan Fashion Week Spring 2019 trends and what fabrics designers have decided it's fashionable to wear. Some of my favorite Milan Fashion Week Shows are ETRO, Versace, Moschino, Max Mara, Burberry.
My Favorite Shows from MFW SS2019
I love prints. I think patterns, ethnic styles, coats with big embroideries are all that make an outfit stand out. And that's what a fashionista wants, right? The show was all about full-length print dresses, with a strong Italian vibe, a sense of luxury and craftsmanship. The first looks were multi-pattern patchwork blanket thrown over the shoulders of a girl wearing a full-length paisley-print dress.
For this show, the girl from the 90's comes with a pop of color into Spring 2019. She is wearing a swathed micro-flower-print dress with a long, sheer black lace skirt, head held very high, walking confidently. The colors are bright, and it's all about black satin dresses, plunging, slit, strappy, and asymmetric paired with tights.
Inspired from le Musée Yves Saint Laurent Paris, Moschino brings French style back into attention with couture tailleurs with grand waist-cinching bows and gorgeous wrap dresses. The silhouettes, the chapeaus and dresses with a bolt of fabric, it's haute couture at its finest!
Fabric Inspirations
The creativity and explosion of colors and patterns from Milan Fashion Week SS 2019 brings a whole new dimension to the fabrics world. What we wear and what the designers propose is a mix of patterns, and materials that apparently might not go together, but when assembled they look stunning. For example, haute couture fabrics with denim, or lace with cotton. I noticed from Milan Fashion Week that an ethnic inspiration will influence more the streetwear, and we have already started seeing viscose blends, cotton blends with handmade flowers, symbols or shapes flowing naturally on maxi dresses or ruffled skirts or shirts.
When it comes to fabrics, we might not take into consideration what we choose, but as important as it is to have a statement oversized coat, , we can start having a look at what fabrics designers chose to put forward this season and get inspired. Feeling a material is important, as well as feeling the overall appeal of an outfit. Making a statement while wearing an item comes from the design, but also from what it's made of. Whether it is tweed, silk, lace, wool, or rayon, the fabric makes a garment.
How will you get inspired this season?
P.s: special thanks to Tissura for inspiring me!

Financial independence is a pretty ambitious life goal. Particularly when, like us, you started from a base line of zero wealth or assets with no family money to trickle your way. Budgeting money, therefore, becomes pretty high on the agenda as a way to track your progress and keep you on the straight and narrow. That said, everyone should take budgeting seriously but just like lives differently, everyone budgets differently. So, how do we budget?
recording all the pennies
We have always tracked every single penny with a household budget. And when I say every single penny, I mean every. single. penny. We've had the odd remark over the years from friends about how crazy we are to track so closely when we've discussed how we all manage household finances. But it works for us and that's what matters.
When me and Mr. NC moved in together, we opened a joint account, had our salaries go into it (we don't have separate money), and created a household budget in an Excel spreadsheet. Over the years, our budgeting process has become more streamlined, advanced and easier but in the early days, we saved all our receipts and manually entered the amounts into the spreadsheet.
- each receipt was attached to a category in the budget
- we then checked our budget against our current account/credit cards to make sure it all balanced
The first evolution of our budget was the building of an Access database and a rudimentary form to input receipts. This was a mixture of using Access and Excel.
The next iteration was a transition over to Google Sheets. This was a huge transition as it meant we could access it anywhere and not need to necessarily be at our computer to work on it or check something. The next huge (and most impressive I think) step was the creation of a budget entry Google form.
Another great thing we did with the move over to Google Sheets was to create the budget summary you see below. This was borne out of me constantly asking to see how much we'd spent on a certain category throughout the month on the spreadsheet. We put the categories we spend most of our discretionary income on and created this quick glance guide we keep on Google Drive.
I used to keep a running tally of how much I'd spent on food shopping for the month on my phone but now I just quickly check the budget summary and it gives me the most up to date spending on a category.
tracking spending
The way we money isn't for everyone; I've had enough comments over the years from friends about how crazy they think we are with our budgeting process to know that not everyone (anyone?!) would be interested in doing things this way.
However, managing your money is important. The most helpful things you can do for yourself are
- list mandatory expenses for the month
- list discretionary expenses for the month
- put £ amounts next to each category
- record your spending
- check against your bank/credit card accounts to ensure the budget is balanced
- rinse and repeat the following month
Doing this for a few months would help you to see where you're spending your money and how much you're spending. You soon get a handle on the rough monthly expenses for certain categories which means you're more confident in your spending because you a) know how much you roughly have to spend and b) know how much you have already spent as the month goes on.
Doing this for a year then gives you the data to know when certain purchases come out so you can begin to budget for them ahead of time. Things like birthdays, annual insurance premiums, car MOTs and Christmas occur every year but these are the sorts of expenses that can catch someone out and have them scrabbling to find £700 when they need a new handbrake and clutch at the MOT.
It can take time and effort to get a handle on and build confidence in managing your household budget – I know it did with us. However, once you have a handle on it, it can strip away so much money stress and frustration and allow you to focus your attention on other, more exciting things.

Former Southern 500 Winner Teams with Phoenix Racing, Guy Roofing to Tackle Daytona 500
Spartanburg, S.C. (February 19, 2013) - Regan Smith, 2011 winner of the prestigious Southern 500 at Darlington Raceway, aims to claim an additional NASCAR crown jewel this weekend. Smith and Phoenix Racing will team up to tackle the high banks of Daytona International Speedway in one of NASCAR's most coveted races, the Daytona 500. Smith will pilot the No. 51 Guy Roofing Chevrolet in his sixth Daytona 500 attempt.
"Daytona is one of our most special races," Smith said. "If you win the Daytona 500, your name is forever followed by 'a former Daytona 500 winner'. It's a victory that will always be a highlight of your career. Like the Southern 500, it's one of NASCAR's most historic and coveted events. It's one that everyone wants to win and say that they reached victory lane there. I am excited about working with Phoenix Racing this weekend and our chance to make history with our Guy Roofing Chevrolet."
"This race can be an emotional roller coaster," continued Smith. "Anything can happen at Daytona. There's never a dull moment. Just when you think you're safe or expecting to get a good finish, you can run into trouble and ruin your day. At the same time, you can race from the back of the pack to the front in just a few laps, so you're never out of it. You'll experience some very highs and lows during the 500 miles, that's for sure."
Smith has 10 previous Sprint Cup Series starts at the 2.5-mile historic track. He's garnered one top-10 and six top-25s, achieving a best finish of seventh place in 2011. Leading Smith's charge will be crew chief Nick Harrison. Harrison and Smith worked together for two Sprint Cup races in 2012. The duo's best finish was at Phoenix International Raceway, which Smith started eighth and finished 24th.
Guy Roofing will make its Sprint Cup Series debut as sponsor of Smith's No. 51 Chevrolet. Guy Roofing Inc. is a family owned and operated business with a national footprint specializing in storm related roof replacements. All of their roofing specialists are experienced and trained in the insurance claim process.
"Guy Roofing is next door to our race shop, so we better give them a good race or they know where to find us," joked Steve Barkdoll, general manager of Phoenix Racing. "In all seriousness, I'm delighted to have them as a partner. NASCAR's fan loyalty and broad fan base make our sport a terrific venue for them to share their brand and message, and I look forward to racing with them this season."
The Daytona 500 will start at 1:00 on Sunday, February 24. The event will broadcast on FOX, MRN and Sirius Satellite Radio.

"I was doing nothing after I graduated with my Bachelor's degree other than sitting on my couch in Colorado doing nothing. I got connected with Coach Shaundi, who worked as the college recruiter for JFKU's Sport Psychology program. After speaking with Shaundi for twenty minutes, he inspired me to get off my butt and go to grad school so that I can live my life's purpose in the field of Sport Psychology. In two short years after that call, I earned my Master of Arts in Sport Psychology. Today, I am a Mental Skills Coach; I help athletes of all levels achieve peak performance in their sport. From the first day, I spoke with Coach; he has been a mentor, coach, teacher, and a friend. Those weekly "Platinum Success Gems" he taught my fellow classmates and I, truly helped us gain the specialized business skills we needed to become successful entrepreneurs in the field of Sport Psychology. Anyone that needs a coach that is going to motivate, inspire, and empower them to take control of their life, Shaundi Goins is the expert in helping people step into the life they TRULY desire to live."
You sure did touch my life Shaundi when we first met at John F. Kennedy. I thank God for introducing us. I knew God had more for you to do your testimony, success, and achievements had a positive impact in my life and taught me so much. Your testimony inspired me. Your testimony has stretched me and motivated me from 0 - 100. I thank God for you Shaundi. You are a life saver…You are a blessing impossible to turn away. I'm so grateful and thankful to have you a part of this transformation process and for you to be a solid and down to earth mentor that means business.".

Wait, what? An "update" that will come with a Cherry trail cpu? lol! Not sure if you guys are aware, but thats like going Snapdragon 6 to 2 series.
Anonymous, 11 Apr 2017make a chromebook!Chromebooks are proprietary Google spare with minimal functionality. Stay away!
As much as I dislike Microsoft, this is a abate that must be won by Microsoft, less intrusive, less creepy.
Now if instead of Chrome OS they used android for laptops (ie created a version for laptops ) I would prefer it as Android is equally creepy but being open source at its core you could always modify it to be less creepy (AOSP version, etc).
Google went with a completely new OS for her laptops in a calculated move to "do evil". Stop her evil plans.
Why when I heard the MateBook X was codenamed Pascal did I thought it was going to pack a 1050 NVIDIA GPU?
Eh, these don't seem to be anything special. The bezels aren't as thin as a Dell XPS, they aren't as light as an LG Gram, nor are they as well thought-out as a Surface Pro. What's stopping me from getting any other laptop or 2-in-1, that have exactly the same looks/specs?
Wow, really liking the MateBook X! I really liked the first Huawei MateBook, and really wanted to buy it, but hopefully this'll be better and more worth it.
Anonymous, 11 Apr 2017make a chromebook!Can't say i like chromebooks. I guess I'm not used to them. But I don't spend all my time in the browser.
