Think about it for a second. What happens to all those lime rinds that go into your margaritas? And that muddled mint, where does that end up?
Although we don't like to think about it, so many of the ingredients that are used to make those irresistible beverages go to waste. And with food waste being one of the biggest issues facing food world today, wouldn't it be comforting to know that leftover ingredients are getting a second life somewhere else in the kitchen?
How Much Food Do We Waste?
Even the rain couldn't stop us!! Thanks again to all who got out and partied with us yesterday, and especially big love to the @fordsgin & @acehotelnola teams that helped us flip the whole thing and move 13 floors in 15 minutes when the lightening kicked in 😘 The Anti-Waste Tour is officially rolling!! 💪 but first we got a massive fucking hangover to deal with 🙋💦✌ #talesofthecocktail #totc2017 #drinklikeyougiveafuck #neworleans #gintiki #bybartendersforbartenders #antiwastetour #antiwaste #popup #popuplife #popuptour
Every year 133 billion pounds of food end up in the garbage. The surprising part of this statistic is that 40 percent of this comes strictly from restaurants. So that means, not eating your full portion is only a small percentage of the food being wasted in commercial kitchens.
Thankfully, people are beginning to take notice. In particular, Trash Tiki, a London-based online platform and pop-up, is at the forefront of the movement to reduce waste behind the bar. Iain Griffiths and Kelsey Ramage, the two bartenders in charge of this startup, estimate that bars often produce between six and eight bags of organic trash each night.
Trash Tiki
So, in order to reverse this waste trend, they began encouraging drink slingers' creativity with zero-waste cocktails. In short order, their local mission has turned into a multi-national movement.
All over the world Griffiths and Ramage are evangelizing the use of past-their-prime ingredients. They are showing bartenders everywhere how to reuse previously squeezed limes, coffee grounds, or stale almond croissants to create homemade stocks that can be used in cocktails later that week.
And they're not alone. Trash Tiki is among many beverage companies who are beginning to fight actively against food waste.
Who Else is Getting on Board with Zero-Waste?
Great tasting beer with the added bonus of helping reduce bread waste. Cheers for the mention 🍻🍺🍞#Repost @craftbrewtique (@get_repost) ・・・ Great to get all 3 of the award winning @toastale beers made from surplus bread 🍞 All profits to food waste charity @feedbackorg #RaiseAToast #beerlover #beersofinstagram #craftbrew #beer #craftbeer #beerstagram #instabeer #bread
For instance, Toast Ale, Hackney Brewery, and Smog City Brewery have all jumped onto the bandwagon. UK-based Toast Ale is an award-winning craft beer that is brewed from a portion of the 24 million slices of surplus bread that is tossed away each year in the UK.
Hackney Brewery too puts its money where its mouth is and plugs all its profits back into the owner's food waste-fighting non-profit group Feedback.
The United States as a whole is a big part of this movement. On the West Coast, Smog City Brewery makes a fruity kumquat saison from surplus kumquats found in the area. They recycle 800 pounds of surplus kumquats to brew the more than 600 gallons of beer annually. And their recycled beer is good. In fact, their beer earned the silver medal at the 2015 Great American Beer Festival.
So look closely dear reader. You're about to start seeing more bartenders and beverage companies supporting zero-waste by making deliciously inventive beverages that you can feel good about drinking.

Dapper Rental Suits from The Black Tux
We understand how you feel — renting a suit has historically been uncool. But lucky for you guys, things have changed in a big way. Yes. There's finally a suit rental worthy of your wedding day.
Say hello to The Black Tux. Offering a collection of high-end suits and tuxedos designed for a better fit with the finest wool available — The Black Tux has changed the game. Not only do they make the rental process a breeze, but the quality? It's completely unmatched.
But what about styles and colors? Truth be told — we love a grey suit. And this light grey suit with its subtle textured finish? So dapper. Are we right? Or are we right?
Rose, a trending shade in the pink family, is best paired with a low-key suit like this one. Because let's face it — a pop of red coordinates effortlessly well with this cool grey shade.
For popular Summer blues, we suggest opting for a brighter hue like this one over the standard navy. To let the groom shine, try a monochrome look for groomsmen.
Fancy a more formal look? Formal weddings often mean black tie attire, which is timeless. And fortunately, a classic black tux works well with any color palette.
Light grey suit, Red knit tie, White dress shirt, Brown suede shoes
Summer wedding color trends to consider:
• Formal weddings typically have formal dress codes that don't allow wiggle room for groomsmen attire, but more casual dress codes allow for more men's suit and accessory colors.

How Doctors Think is a window into the mind of the physician and an insightful examination of the all-important relationship between doctors and their patients. In this myth-shattering work, Jerome Groopman explores the forces and thought processes behind the decisions doctors make. He pinpints why doctors succeed and why they err. Most important, Groopman shows when and how doctors can — with our help — avoid snap judgments, embrace uncertainty, communicate effectively, and deploy other skills that can profoundly impact our health.
Weegee's New York: Photographs, 1935-1960
Weegee's New York: Photographs 1935–1960
Weegee's legendary camera recorded an unmatched pictorial chronicle of a legendary time. Weegee's New York is the New York of the thirties and forties, a city marked by the Great Depression, by unemployment and poverty, by mob violence and prostitution. He was the first news photographer allowed a police radio in his car. Racing through Manhattan's streets after midnight, he often beat the cops to the scene of the crime to shoot the pictures which would scream from the pages of the Daily News and the Daily Mirror next morning. They still jump from the page with a restless immediacy and intense nervousness that has never been surpassed. The 335 photographs collected in this new softcover reprint tell the astonishing story of New York during one of its most violent and exciting periods. The introductory essay is by the former editor of Art Forum, John Coplans.
Essay by Weegee
Weegee (1899-1968),was born Arthur Fellig in what is now a part of Poland and arrived in New York at the age of ten. During his ten years at Manhattan's police headquarters he published 5,000 photos that made him the most famous of a new breed of hardboiled news photographers. His book Naked City (later made into a film) was published in 1945, followed in 1953 by Naked Hollywood.
John Coplans, born in 1920 in England, immigrated to the US in 1960. In 1962 he founded the periodical Artforum serving as its editor until 1980. He was director of the Art Gallery of University of California at Irvine; senior curator at the Pasadena Art Museum; and director of the Akron Art Museum, Ohio. At age sixty he took up photography full-time.

I received an email from a lady by the name of Elizabeth. Elizabeth lives in Mesa, Arizona. She has a Ranch style four bedroom, three and one half bathroom home in the typical Spanish architecture of that region of the southwestern United States.
Anyway, she wrote to me saying that she was doing some decorating in two rooms of her home and was looking for some wall decorating suggestions. Elizabeth went on further to say that the rooms that she was about to decorate are the living room and the dining room.
To make things easier for me to understand in regards to the decor and furniture already in these rooms, she sent me pictures of both of the rooms so that I could study them carefully and make my suggestions.
Almost instantly my thoughts went to wall sconce candle holders. There are some beautiful pieces that would add subtle charm to any southwestern decor.
I started with the living room. In this room the carpet is a medium tan. There is a rather large overstuffed dark brown leather couch, a red leather chair and a cloth chair in a southwestern pattern of reds, yellows, greens and golds. Surrounded by the couch and chairs is a large square marble coffee table in a medium dark brown marble swirl.
There is an adobe fireplace in the wall corner in the shape of a cone with the larger part of the cone on the bottom, tapering up the corner if the wall. This fireplace is a medium brown with artful scrolls in dark brown accenting the opening of the fireplace, the large black mantle and the upper half of the cone going up the wall corner.
To the left of the fireplace are windows and a sliding glass door overlooking the desert and mountains in the background. On the right side of the fireplace is a wall with two large unframed Native American oil paintings, one on top of the other. This is due to the lack of wall space because there is a large oak entertainment center covering most of the wall space.
This is all I needed to see. I immediately went to work and found several wall sconce candle holders that would complete this room. My choices were the Varazze Wall Sconce, the Leyanna Mosaic Wall Sconce, the Belleville Wall Sconce or the Meyda Scrolling Wall Sconce. Any one of these wall sconce candle holders would add an awesome feel to Elizabeth's living room.
Next, I took a look at the pictures of Elizabeth's dining room. The floor in this room is oak. In the middle of the room is a rustic looking large oak dining room table sitting on a large southwestern style woven rug. Around the table are ten oak chairs with ox blood colored padded leather backs and seats.
There is a large American Indian wall tapestry on the wall opposite the outer wall of the room. Below the tapestry is a long buffet cabinet that matches the table and chairs. The outer wall has two rather large windows with colorful southwestern window treatments. The wall space in between the two large windows is a boulder fireplace going up the entire wall.
It took me only a few minutes before I had some great suggestions for wall sconce candle holders on each side of the tapestry. I came up with three wall sconce candle holders that would enhance the overall look of the room. These choices were the Crossed Arrow Western Wall Sconce Pair, the Rustic Essence Wall Sconce and the Copper Round Sconce Pair. Any of these would add a warm feeling to the room.
So I emailed Elizabeth with my list of wall sconce candle holders for each room.
A few days later I get an email from Elizabeth saying that she loved my suggestions and she decided to buy all of them. She said that it was just too difficult to choose only one set of wall sconce candle holders from my selection, so she got them all. This way she can change them from time to time and keep a fresh new look to these rooms in her home all year round.
With so many styles to choose from, wall sconce candle holders are the perfect addition to most any room in your home. These charming wall sconce candle holders will add a pleasant feeling of tranquility to your home environment. Relax, sit back and enjoy the delightful candlelight comfort.

How can I determine what is, and what is not, kosher for the Passover season?
One of the major Biblical injunctions concerning Passover is to eat unleavened bread for seven days, remembering the bread of haste that the Ancient Israelites had to eat as they left Egypt (Deuteronomy 16:3). By extension, not only does the command pertain to eating unleavened bread, but it is a week-long prohibition against eating anything with leavening agents. This has been interpreted and applied in different ways, with some divergent halachah, in the Jewish community over the centuries.
The Talmud, for example, specifically rules that there are five types of grain that can be used for the production of matzah or unleavened bread: wheat, barley, oats, rye, and spelt (b.Pesachim 35a), and notably the list does not include rice and millet. Ashkenazic authorities would later extend the list of forbidden grains to include "legumes" such as beans, peas, corn, lentils, buckwheat, and sometimes peanuts. The prohibition exists because of the belief that flour made from these substances could be easily confused with leavened flour. It is notable that the addition of legumes comes largely from Medieval European Jewry, having made contact with the New World, and debates over what grains are "kosher for Passover" do not come from the First Century. In more modern times, various segments of Orthodox Ashkenazic Jewry have liberalized their stance on whether or not rice, beans, or corn can be eaten at Passover, as prohibitions against eating these things were largely given for a different time. Of course, this has not stopped many Ashkenazics from other branches of Judaism from eating "legumes" during the season of Passover.
Generally, Jewish halachah in both the Ashkenazic and Sephardic communities permits matzah to be mixed with grape juice, oil, or egg for the young and infirm. Egg matzos for Passover are not intended to be eaten by everyone during this time, although if one is confused, consulting one's rabbi is recommended.
Much of the confusion surrounding what is "kosher for Passover" in the Messianic community comes from Jewish Believers who were raised in nominally observant or relatively liberal homes. It also comes from non-Jewish Believers who were not raised in the Synagogue (or possibly even adjacent to any sizeable Jewish community), and hence are not familiar with many of the customs and traditions surrounding this holiday. In significant parts of the Jewish community, it is not uncommon for most homes to have a special set of dishes just to be used for Passover and Unleavened Bread. In some sects, kosher for Passover toothpaste, bottled drinking water, Coca-Cola, and even toilet paper are available. When some people see all of the Rabbinical injunctions, they easily get confused, even though they do not need to be.
The commandment regarding unleavened bread in the Scriptures pertains to eating and one's daily consumption. Obviously, any kind of bread or cereal that has yeast cannot be eaten. Various kinds of alcohol that have been produced with yeast (i.e., beer) cannot be consumed. This does not necessarily mean that one has to buy "kosher for Passover" cheese, because the cows who provided milk for the cheese ate corn for their diet. Most of the questionable items pertain to things that one would normally eat with bread, and you should check to see if there is a kosher for Passover section at your supermarket.
This should give you a good idea about what you can eat. You may also want to consult a Jewish cookbook that will have many kosher for Passover recipes. More than anything else, we would urge you not to feel condemned if you make a few mistakes in an effort to be kosher during Passover. God's grace covers our sins, our "leaven," and when we find that we do make mistakes, we try to quickly rectify them.

Karri Bedroom Set
This client had obtained the wood for this bedroom set decades ago and finally decided to have this bedroom set made. The wood is very interesting; it's karri (or Eucalyptus diversicolor) from Australia. This wood was imported into the US decades ago to serve as mine timbers. Karri is extremely hard, almost twice as hard as red oak. The client, a fellow woodworker, bought several unused timbers and sawed them into planks. He is a professional woodturner and didn't have the time build this for himself. Recently he and his wife (a residential designer) asked me to build the bedroom set for them using the karri. They specified they wanted something simple, not ornate. They also asked for the removable insert in the headboard. They provided measurements for the headboard and nightstands.
The headboard insert can be fabric covered to match existing upholstery.
The front of the nightstands are curved and are made of several laminations of karri bent around a form. The drawer front is cut from the same lamination, allowing the grain to continue uninterrupted across the front.

"Bright lights on cruise ships pose a risk to seabirds flying at night in the Hauraki Gulf, so the Department of Conservation is working with the international cruise industry to help keep the birds safe.
DOC Principal Science Advisor Graeme Taylor says the bright lights attract the seabirds.
"They can be momentarily blinded causing them to fly into a cruise ship and end up lying stunned on the deck."
DOC is working with the NZ Cruise Ship Association and Cruise Lines International Association to reduce the amount of light from cruise ships and advise crews on what to do when dazzled birds land on their ships.
"Bright lights on cruise ships is an issue in the Hauraki Gulf because we have a high number of seabird species that fly at night," says Graeme Taylor."

It's still November, and I'm still noveling, but my friend Sara is still blogging like crazy (as well as noveling). Here's a recent post from her blog, Medusa's Library.
First, I just want to remind everyone that I'm running a giveaway. The prizes are a copy of Shades of Milk and Honey by Mary Robinette Kowal, Sorcery and Cecelia by Patricia Wrede and Caroline Stevermer, or London Falling by Paul Cornell. The giveaway runs until November 17!
I wanted to talk very briefly about productivity today. I'm terrible at getting things done. I'm interested in so many things (reading, writing, jewelry making, acting, sewing, knitting, crochet, embroidery, costuming, letter writing, video games) that there is always something else I could be doing at any given moment. And that's before you factor in spending time with other actual people.
So, I occasionally have to trick myself into getting the appropriate work done. When there are dozens of things you could be doing it can be hard to sort out what you actually need to be doing.
The two things…

One of the best new features of the Raspberry Pi 3 is its built-in wireless LAN and Bluetooth. Wouldn't it be great to have the same convenience on a Pi Zero (and other Pi models)? That's the thinking behind Red Bear's IoT pHAT. When mounted on the GPIO pins, this Zero-size board provides WiFi (802.11bgn / 2.4GHz) and Bluetooth (4.1 and BLE) connectivity. So you don't need to use a dongle plugged into the Pi Zero's solitary data micro-USB port via a USB OTG adapter.
The full article can be found in The MagPi 50 and was written by Phil King.
The IoT pHAT is pretty much plug-and-play, coming pre-soldered with a 40-pin female header. Upon booting up, the Linux kernel reads the configuration from the on-board EEPROM and turns on the WiFi driver. You can then connect to your wireless router as usual, via the desktop panel icon or command line.
While on our early model we needed to update the pHAT's firmware via several terminal commands to get more stable WiFi and functional Bluetooth, any new boards shipped should already have this pre-installed and so work perfectly from the start. One caveat is that, at the time of writing, you'll still need to add a line to the /boot/config.txt file to set the UART clock to 48MHz to activate Bluetooth, but this is due to be added to the next official Raspbian image. Once Bluetooth is working, you can pair devices – such as a keyboard, mouse, and gamepad – via the desktop panel icon or command line, as usual.
In our tests, the IoT pHAT provided reliable and fast connections for both WiFi and Bluetooth, which is hardly surprising since it uses the same Broadcom 43438 wireless radio chip used in the Pi 3. The signal strength and quality from the on-board antenna were fine, but can be improved by adding an optional external antenna kit ($9/£7) if needed. As the pHAT only uses 15 GPIO pins and leaves 11 free, including the I2C and SPI pins (see the handy guide for details), it's possible to stack it on top of most other add-on boards, such as the Enviro pHAT or Analog Zero, equipped with an extra-long stacking header.
Last word
The IoT pHAT is a neat and convenient way to add WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity to your Pi Zero, while freeing up the data port. Using the same wireless radio chip as the Pi 3 results in reliable signal strength and quality via an on-board or optional external antenna.

Stuff I really liked on the interwebs this week:
1. Wait, other people blog naked too? (Just kidding. I'm actually kind of a prude.)
2. Love this Slovenian canyoning video.
3. How one man got residency in Europe.
4. An awesome example of why grammar totally matters.
Further proving the awesomeness (read: inappropriateness) of this blog, the most hilarious (or disturbing) search terms sending traffic this month are: average nudists, butthole is cute, ugliest part of a male, and nudity welcome. Good times, people. Good times.
Annnndddd, the most popular blog post of the month this August was A Photo Essay: Hiking the Black Forest. [Insert dramatic flourish here.]

The world today extremely relies on electricity as a source of power for various home and work use. However, it is important to note how inevitable power blackouts are. They can come as a result of electrical faults or as a result of maintenance purpose.
If you are lucky, they will notify you of an impending blackout. But even upon notifying, you will still need the power to run critical operations in your home or facility.
It is, therefore, important to have a backup plan in case of power outage. Generators have been with us for generations serving us the same purpose. However, modern time's generators have been modified to ensure efficiency and convenience is at a maximum.
Below I have reviewed some of the best generators in the market as well as a buying guide to help you make the right decision. Choose one generator that is both economical and serves your purpose.
The Westinghouse portable generator is one of the few generators that come fully loaded with a unique combination of high-quality features to offer you superior value for your money.
This generator comes from a manufacturer that manufactures state-of-the-art generators that have redefined industry standards Each and every component in a Westinghouse portable generator is carefully ingeniously designed and manufactured to improve its contribution to the performance, reliability, and safety of the overall unit.
It has everything to get started right out of the box, including a wheel kit and handle kit, oil, funnel, and toolkit. Features such as overhead valve design enable excellent performance, cast iron cylinder sleeves for low oil consumption, and forged pistons and connecting rods for proven strength. It is almost impossible to get all these features in one model
Featuring an all-steel construction and fully enclosed electrical connections, the WH7500E can withstand the harshest environments and weather. It is one of the best portable generators in the market. So be sure will give you maximum service
The Duromax Safeguards your family as well as providing portable power for work and play. The Duromax XP10000E is a gasoline powered generator, which features a massive 16.0-horsepower air-cooled engine that cranks out 8,000 constant running watts of power. It includes both a standard recoil start as well as an easy electric start.
This rugged workhorse is ideal for the job site where much power is needed. You can also depend on this model for emergencies at home. This generator will ensure you're essential
The generator also has a 10 ½ inch all-terrain, never flat tires that offer the flexibility and looks of a pneumatic tire without the rigidity of a solid tire–improving the mobility across both soft ground and hard surfaces.
With this generator, you get up to 10 hours of run time from 8.3-gallon tank of fuel. Other features include a super-quiet muffler, an advanced automatic voltage regulator (AVR) system and a low oil protection system which automatically shuts the generator off to protect it from any damage should it run out of oil.
The WEN 1800-Watt is a Portable Generator that provides reliable power whenever and wherever you need it. With 1800 surge watts and 1500 running watts, you can be sure to run your microwave, television, computer, refrigerator, blender, cooker and more.
This generator is among the best for, job sites, camping and other emergency situations.
If you require power during an outage, then WEN 1800-Watt Generator will serve you well.
The WEN is an EPAIII, and CARB-compliant engine delivers 98cc of power with an internal air-cooling system to help regulate temperature. Its Low-oil shutdown safeguards the unit from the damage of the engine while the 1.45-gallon tank provides 7.5 hours of half-load runtime.
First of all, the manufacturers are not called champion for anything. Champion Power Equipment is a market leader in power generation equipment. Champion has many years of experience providing dependable and durable power equipment designed and engineered for world markets. The champion generator will sure provide the power that makes your life easier.
The champion has a run time of up to 12 hours on a full tank of gasoline. The champion generator review reveals unique features such as the Volt Guard, a built-in surge protector which protects your appliances from any spikes in voltage above a safe threshold, as well as Cold Start technology which enhances the generator to start easily in cold weather.
A unique thing with this generator is that it is portable and comes with a durable steel frame with a folding handle and never-flat tires for easy maneuvering and transportation. This generator also includes a bottle of engine oil. The only thing you need to supply this beast is gas.
Champion demands excellence from their dedicated technicians and service network ensuring that you will receive world-class service and response wherever and whenever you need it. I highly recommend this product
The Durable Durostar with 7.0 Horsepower is a Heavy duty steel frame with four point fully isolated motor mounts for smooth and quiet operation.
The Durostar has a Full power panel with low-oil engine shutoff which is essential in case oil is inadequate. Models that don't have this feature are prone to break down in the long run. This feature protects engine from damaging.
I can't think of a better generator for camping, RVs, sporting events, home back-up power and job sites.
This workhorse is ideal for a wide variety of uses from getting you through a power outage to keeping you and your family supplied.
Generac Guardian will sure guard you against power instabilities. A permanently installed Generac home backup generator protects your home from these instabilities.
The model runs on natural gas or liquid propane fuel. The backup generator delivers power directly to your home's electrical system, backing up your most essential items or even your entire home.
The Generac is one of the Best-in-class power quality with less than 5% total harmonic distortion meaning a clean, smooth operation of your sensitive electronics and appliances in your home or business. This makes the best home generator you can find currently on the market.
While cost is the first consideration with generators, you have to consider other factors first before finally coming down to cost. Here are some of other important factors to consider.
While it may not be certain the amount of power, you need. Usually, ask yourself the question: in the event of a power outage, what functions in your vicinity would you like the generator to supply power to?
When sizing for a generator for an entire building, factors as peak demands and amperage of your electrical service are relevant details you need to consider. You will need to split the emergency circuits from the main electrical panel, and the process may require a technician.
For a home standby system, the decision is homeowner's preference. For a critical application such as a healthcare facility, it is a requirement by law to have an emergency back-up in order.
When buying a generator, be sure to ask yourself: in the event of power outage, how long will my generator run before a refuel is needed?
The least amount of an average generator is five gallons. For average functionality, this is just enough to run for about seven hours. Note that this is for average functionality. It will also depend on the use of the generator. Heavy machinery will of course result in more fuel requirements in a shorter period.
Different generators have different consumption rates. When buying the generator, ensure it is optimized for maximum power output and efficient use of fuel. Some generators are so efficient that they require a single gallon to run for hours. These models are however more expensive compared to less efficient ones.
This is another factor that needs your exploration. Some of the most common fuel types for emergency standby include diesel, natural gas, and propane. While most of the models are gasoline powered, there are models capable of utilizing liquid propane and natural gas. Each model has drawbacks and benefits.
For gasoline, it may be convenient to the user, but it is often a poor choice due to its relatively short life of stability. With this fuel, ensure that the model does not emit high amounts of harmful exhaust and favor the ones that burn fuel cleanly.
Natural gas models are the most convenient within the house because they can be connected to the gas line. However, the cost of natural gas can be quite expensive. It is, however, important to consider the availability of the fuel source. Natural gas can only be pulled from a natural utility while diesel and propane are onsite.
The type of facility can also dictate if an on-site fuel source is required.
It is necessary that you understand the power needs and match them with the right generator. Some generators may not have sufficient power output to run all your needs in your facility.
Consider the type of engines that are used in different designs and compare them with the amount you need. You may be forced to dig deeper in your pocket to get an ideal one for your purpose.
A generator is a long term investment it should last long enough while still giving unsullied power services for you.
The amount of money used should also be worth the item you purchase. A solid metal generator that is resistant to denting can be a decent choice regarding durability. This is because denting of the out body can affect the delicate inner items and reduce the efficiency of service.
If the generator is to be used where electricity stability is low, then you will need to choose an engine that won't wear out from frequency use.
Some models of generators require constant care and maintenance. This can be such an inconvenience for you, but its need cannot be ignored.
Lack of proper servicing is often very detrimental to the operation of the generator. For instance, some alternators will require more maintenance than those without.
You will need to do some research on the period each generator takes before requiring a mandatory oil change.
There are some other features that you should consider before purchasing a portable generator. This is because some generators have more special features than others, for example, noise reduction.
Generators are known for their disturbing motors. It can be such an annoying experience to keep on listening to a motor running all through. Environmental bodies can also sue you for noise pollution. It is hence important to check for level of noise in the specifications in generators before buying
Other features include fuel level monitors to avoid fuel running out without being forewarned.
I am sure you one of the generators I have reviewed above has caught your eye. If you have liked more than one, the better for you as you will now pick the best. I have gone a step ahead and explained the factors to consider before choosing a generator. This should make the process easier for you. All in all, choose a generator you feel will suit your needs and give you maximum value for your money.
The United States is known for an increase in severe storms every year. As a result, there is power loss that ends up affecting many businesses and homes. Do you want to keep your work going on and your appliances running at home? Of course yes! This is why you need to purchase a home generator to provide you with power backup.
Many years back, our ancestors lived without electricity or heat. Things have greatly changed such that having a generator is not a luxury. After all, nobody wants the inconveniences caused by power outage when there is a storm or the transformer blows.
You might be wondering, do I really need a home generator? Yes, you do. The advantages that come with a home generator cannot be understated. Here are some of the ways in which a home generator will make your work easier and provide you with so many other benefits.
Standby generators that are permanently installed in your home play a huge role in monitoring the connection utility power. They can detect loss of power than fire up as compared to portable generators that require you to go outside and start them manually regardless of the condition out there.
If you compare the performance of a home generator and a portable generator, you will find out that a home generator provides you with a longer run time. This is because they are connected directly to your fuel source, liquid propane or natural gas hence giving a longer run time. They also produce enough electricity to provide your home with a reliable power backup.
Imagine a situation when you have food in your refrigerator, and then power outage occurs. What do you do to keep the food fresh? If you do not have a generator to provide you with power backup, your food might end up spoiling. Having a home generator provides you with fresh food for long hence saving you more money.
Kids are afraid of being in the dark. If you have the best home generator, you can help them stay calm in situations of the power outage because the generator will ensure that the lights are on; hence you have nothing to worry about.
Because home generators are wired in your home's electrical system, you do not need any setup, and they also have minimal maintenance. Once it is installed by a professional, homeowners are confident knowing that they have a powerful machine that protects their home and family.
You don't have to stay a boring life simply because you have no electricity. If you have a home generator, life will still be normal, and you can enjoy watching television or using Jacuzzi tubs. Generators also provide you with lighting as well as powering critical appliances hence reducing stress in your home.
Now that you know some of the benefits that you will get from buying a home generator, the next big thing that you should think about is looking for a perfect generator for your home. What do you need to know when looking for a home generator? This is a question that many homeowners find difficult to answer. Generators are available in different sizes, and they also come with different budgets. You can get portable generators as well as large models that are permanently installed in your home.
A small portable generator is a perfect solution when you are looking for an extension cord to power few lights and your refrigerator so that food doesn't spoil. These generators are fully automatic because they can be attached to your home wiring system. On the other hand, large generators start for about 15 seconds when the power goes out. They also shut down automatically when power is back.
Again, you should also consider the wattage when you are buying a home generator. The amount of wattage that is put highly determines the number of lights and the appliances that can run at once. If you want the power to cover for basics, about 5000 watts will be okay.
Another important thing that you should have in mind when buying a home generator is the outlets and switches in your house so that it will be easy to know the right circuit on the service panel that powers what.
Last but not certainly the least, you should make a decision on the type of generator that you want in your home. Do you need a stationary or a portable generator? Both models come with their advantages and disadvantages, so it is up to you to weigh out your options and look for a generator that suits your needs best.
Now you have all the necessary information that you need in case of power outage, and it will be very easy for you to look for an alternative source of power. If you are well prepared, it will be very easy for you and your family to get through a hard time without electricity.
The best thing that you can do to get power backup is purchasing a dual fuel generator. Such machines will help you avoid the adverse effects that come along with power outage.
I know it can be a challenging task to look for a perfect home generator. I have researched the market for you and reviewed top five best generators that you can get to provide you with power backup. Check out their reviews, and I believe you will get a convenient home or portable generator to suit your power requirements.
Most of the generators out there use gasoline as single fuel. Why then do you need to have a generator that can use more than one type of fuel? What are the benefits that you will get from owning a dual fuel generator? To begin with, a dual fuel generator can use two types of fuel in a mixture at the same time. The generator cranks up on one type of fuel, and its built-in governor adds a secondary fuel source until an optimum mixture is achieved for efficient running.
For instance, a dual fuel generator can start by using diesel fuel then gradually add a mixture natural gas fuel. There many reasons why you need to purchase a dual fuel generator. Let's cover some of the ways in which you will benefit from purchasing a dual fuel generator.
Cost-Effectiveness In The Long Run
As compared to other traditional engines, dual fuel generators carry a higher price tag of up to 15-30% more. But with its ability to use more than one type of fuel, you end up spending less on fuel in the long run as compared to single fuel generators.
Power Backup
A power outage is something that can happen at any time. You might not know the time when the power will get back. Therefore, having a backup power plan is very important. Dual fuel generators work well to help you get power to keep your operations running when there is no power.
Fuel Efficiency
In most cases, you will find dual fuel systems using fuel in the ratio of 75% natural gas: 25% diesel fuel. If there is an increase in the engine load, the governor will add diesel ratio and readjust to the ratio of natural gas for optimum operating efficiency. However, not all systems use a mixture of diesel and natural gas. You can get other models that combine a mixture of gasoline and ethanol.
Almost everything in our lives depends on electrical power. This starts with our work, healthcare, economy, livelihood, and leisure among other things. Going without power for even a few minutes is a huge setback, and it can lead to huge losses.
What do you do when there is a power outage? It is important to raise awareness about the power outage and learn all the things that you need to know. Before we get to that, let us first start by finding out what are the major causes of the power outage.
Well, there are several things that cause loss of power. If you know some of the causes of power failure, it will be easy for you to protect your business from devastating outcomes. The following are some of the common reasons for a power outage.
We have no control over natural causes of a power outage. According to research carried out, almost 70% of the power outage in the United States is caused by weather-related issues. Things like lightning, snow, ice, rain, dust, and wind can cause the power outage. It is difficult to prevent these natural causes to safeguard the electrical systems.
This is also another common cause of power failure. This is a situation that takes place when electrical current travels in a different path from the intended one. This leads to an excessive electric current that causes circuit damages, explosion or fire.
This is a situation when there is a drop in the electrical power supply. As a result, there is a low voltage that makes the lights dim. In as much as brownouts are not total power failure, they can greatly affect the functioning of your electrical equipment.
This means a total loss of power in a certain geographical area. This is a severe power outage that can affect your operations if you do not have power backup. Depending on the cause of the blackout, restoring the power is a complex activity because some repairs might be required based on the configurations of the particular area that is affected.
Now that you know some of the major causes of the power outage, it is important to know about power outage awareness and what you are supposed to do when the power goes out. If you are well prepared, a power outage will not inconvenience you. Follow the following checklist so that it will be easy to prepare your family and stay safe and comfortable when the power goes out.
Inspect your fuse box to find out if there is a blown fuse or a tripped circuit breaker. In most cases, you might find power outage limited to your home.
If you find out that you need to replace the fuse or the circuit breaker, it is important to turn off all large appliances or unplug them from the power source to avoid damaging the electrical system.
When the power goes out, it is crucial to ensure that the doors of your freezer and refrigerator stay closed to keep the food cold for longer. If the power is out for less than two hours, it is safe to consume the food in your refrigerator.
In cases of a freezer, if it has half full foods, it can hold them for up to 24 hours. If the freezer is full, the food is safe for up to 48 hours. You need to avoid opening the door as much as possible.
You should store things like pack milk, meat, dairy products, fish, eggs, gravy and other things that spoil with ease in a cooler that is surrounded by ice.
In cases where a storm has caused the power outage, it is not advisable to keep your items cold by placing them in the snow. Frozen foods have the tendency of thawing when exposed to sun's rays even when the temperatures are cold. Additionally, refrigerated foods can become warm and give room for the development of bacteria.
When there is no power, it is very difficult to use the water purification systems. Follow the following rules for cooking, drinking, and your personal hygiene.
Avoid using water that is contaminated to clean your dishes, wash clothes, prepare food, brushing teeth, making ice or preparing baby formula.
If you need to kill parasites and harmful bacteria, the best way you can do it by boiling the water. Boiling water kills all organisms hence making it safe for drinking, cooking and other applications.
Alternatively, you can treat the water with chlorine tablets, iodine tablets or unscented household chlorine bleach. If you are using chlorine or iodine tablets, it is important to follow the directions that come with the tablets. For household chlorine bleach, you need to add 1/8 teaspoon of bleach per gallon of water.

Satan, You've Met Your Match
by Deborah Ann Belka
8/20/2011 / Poetry
Oh, Satan you've,
met your match
for my soul
you cannot catch.
Though you run,
and follow me
I know just where
I shall flee.
And where I go,
you cannot get
so put away
your wicked net.
For my soul,
is the Lord's
and we will fight
what evil hoards.
In the Word,
I will lay and rest
as I wrap the truth
around my breast.
So put away,
your wily dart
for you can't have
this saint's heart!
Ephesians 6:11
"Put on the whole armor of God,
that you may be able to stand against
the wiles of the devil."

Write the CV employers want to read
A recruiter spends an average of just six seconds casting their eye over each CV which lands on their desk. If you want to stand out then you need to make a real impact in those precious seconds. Inspiring Interns offer their advice on how to create a knock-out CV.
Download the Inspiring Interns infographic which includes a sample CV.
- Keep your CV short and sweet. Limit yourself to a single side of A4 and make sure you include only information relevant to the role you're applying for.
- List your work experience, education and qualifications in reverse order and always include dates when you can.
- Explain gaps honestly rather than trying to gloss over holes in your employment history.
- Also make sure you list any additional skills you've learnt and include any supporting information, such as links to a portfolio or blog which showcase your talents.
- Finally, proofread your document for spelling errors and typos – you won't do yourself any favours with sloppy spelling and poor punctuation!
- Don't include irrelevant information – they don't need to know the name of your primary school or what you like to do in your free time.
- Don't write long, rambling descriptions of every job you've ever done. Try to break things down into bite-sized chunks. Avoid paragraphs in favour of neat bullet points which convey the headline info you want them to see.
- Don't waffle. Try to keep your personal statement down to a concise two lines and don't list generic skills which every candidate will claim to have.
- Don't try to be clever with the font and layout. Never include graphics, logos or illustrations (unless you're a designer). Your CV needs to look simple, easy to read and polished if you want recruiters to take you seriously.
Inspiring Interns recruits graduates and interns across many different industries.

Economic Climate
The Eastern Strait Region in Nova Scotia is ideally positioned to attract new investment from both new start-up firms and established companies and those looking to locate in Nova Scotia to serve national and international markets. The towns of Antigonish and Port Hawkesbury offer urban amenities and services and support tourism, agriculture, forestry, fishing and other natural resources-based economic activity across the region.
Eight reasons to invest in Canada (Source: Invest in Canada)
- A welcoming business environment: According to Forbes magazine, Canada is the second best country in the G20 to do business.
- A strong growth record: According to the OECD, Canada led all G7 countries in economic growth over the past decade (2006 – 2015).
- Unparalleled market access: Once the Canada-European Union Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) comes into force, foreign investors in Canada will have assured preferential access to both NAFTA and the European Union.
- A highly-educated workforce: Canada's workforce is the most highly educated among members of the OECD, with half of its working-age population having a tertiary level education.
- Low business tax costs: Total business tax costs in Canada are by far the lowest in the G7 and, according to KPMG, 46 percent lower than those in the United States.
- Competitive R&D environment: Canada offers the lowest business costs in the G7 for R&D-intensive sectors, with a 27.7 percent cost advantage over the United States (Source: KPMG).
- Financial stability: The World Economic Forum consistently declares Canada's banking system to be one of the soundest in the world.
- A great place to invest, work, and live: The OECD's Better Life Index shows Canada as best in the G7 in terms of overall living conditions and quality of life.
For firms looking to invest in Nova Scotia, the Eastern Strait offers impressive advantages including a competitive cost environment, a high-quality workforce and good transportation infrastructure. Beyond the general economic climate, the Eastern Strait features a number of industries that are poised for growth. The provincial tourism strategy is focused on growing that sector's revenue from $2.6 billion in 2016 to $4 billion by 2024. The Eastern Strait is ideally positioned to attract tourism investment and new entrepreneurs. The renewable energy, mining and forestry sectors feature growth opportunities as does the aquaculture sector. The Strait is also well positioned to attract a new generation of freelance workers who could live anywhere but who are attracted to the region to take advantage of its pristine, rural lifestyle. Already the number of new immigrants is on the rise and there are plans to attract a lot more.
Economic Climate: Canada
Canada is one of the best countries in the world to invest. It features a stable economic environment, low inflation, strong institutions and room for further growth. It's no wonder foreign direct investment in Canada reached a record $826 billion in 2016.
Economic Climate: Nova Scotia
Nova Scotia is on the cusp of an economic renaissance but it needs to attract more investment, more entrepreneurs and more talent to fuel this growth. The fundamentals are in place. The provincial government books are balanced. Public investment in roads and other public infrastructure is increasing. Inflation is low. Canada has an international reputation as a safe and secure place to invest. In fact, Canada is a top destination around the world for both international investment and the attraction of entrepreneurs.
Economic Climate: The Eastern Strait
The economic climate in the Eastern Strait is improving. The number of unemployed persons in the North Shore region of Nova Scotia which includes the Eastern Strait and three other counties was down by 26 per cent compared to the level back in 2012. The value of building permits in the North Shore region jumped to nearly $196 million in 2016, the highest level since 2011. The number of new dwellings constructed increased by over 40 per cent in 2016. New growth opportunities and a renewed focus on attracted talent to the region bode well for the future.

Stock index futures briefly eased off their morning lows after the government said jobless claims were unchanged for the week but showing a longer-term trend that the labor market was beginning to recover.
The Labor Department said the four-week moving average for jobless claims, which smoothes out the volatility of the weekly numbers, hit its lowest level in almost a year. The weekly number was flat at a seasonally adjusted 505,000 for the week ended Nov. 14.
Stocks continued to point to a lower open, with Dow futures quickly erasing as much as about 30 points off their earlier losses before turning lower again. The bluechip index was likely to open down more than 0.5 percent.
In company news, Time Warner unit AOL is expected to lay off about one-third of its workforce as the company is pushing aggressively to cut costs in preparation for its spinoff.
Reports indicated that AOL was asking about 2,500 workers to take voluntary layoffs in an effort to cut $300 million in annual operating costs.
Stocks were set to extend the previous session's losses at the opening bell Thursday, with European stocks dragging on sentiment as miners and food producers struggled.
The fate of US stocks continues to be inversely correlated with the dollar. The US currency posted gains in early trading, with the dollar index rising 0.5 percent to send commodities, including gold and oil lower.
JPMorgan Chase shares fell nearly 1 percent in premarket trading after the company announced it is buying the half of European investment bank Cazenove that it doesn't own, in a deal valued at $3.4 billion.
At the same time, Keefe, Bruyette & Woods said JPMorgan is likely to increase its dividend in early 2010 due to its capital position and recent repayment of government bailout money.
Economic numbers are likely to drive today's market action following Wednesday's modest losses, and increasingly light volume could make the markets more volatile. Volume has become unusually light, with many institutions either getting very defensive or simply moving to the sidelines to lock in solid gains for the year, traders told CNBC.
At 8:30 am New York time, the Labor Department is out with its weekly read on first time claims for unemployment benefits. Economists are expecting claims to rise to 510,000, which would be up slightly from last week's reading of 502,000.
At 10 am, the Conference Board's Index of Leading Economic Indicators is expected to rise 0.5 percent for October, following a 1 percent gain the prior month. And the Philadelphia Fed survey reading has a consensus forecast of 11.8, compared to last month's 11.5.
The last remnants of earnings season trickled in, with Sears Holding providing an upside surprise due to the first positive performance from Kmart in several quarters. Sears shares rose 3.3 percent in premarket trading.
Also out this morning: Ross Stores, Gamestop, Williams-Sonoma, and Dick's Sporting Goods .
Dallas Fed President Richard Fisher continues the recent spate of Fed commentary, although his speech to the Cato Institute's annual monetary policy conference won't take place until 4:45 pm, after the market closes. And at 4:30 pm, the Fed will be out with its latest balance sheet figures.

The Wildcats dropped a pair of contests in a series with then-No. 17 Cornell University over the weekend in the Berry. Sophomore forward Mitchel Slattery (Lino Lakes, Minnesota) scored the lone Wildcat goal in the game for his first of the season. Senior forward Troy Loggins (Huntington Beach, California) scored both goals in Saturday's contest, while junior defenseman Philip Beaulieu (Duluth, Minnesota) assisted on both Loggins' goals.
Loggins scored the second-most goals on the team a season ago with 23 goals, tied for ninth-most in the NCAA. He began the 2018-19 campaign with a pair of assists in a split at Michigan State University. Over the past two series, Loggins has returned to his scoring ways with three goals and an assist. He is now tied for the team lead with seven points on three goals and four assists.
Senior goaltender Atte Tolvanen (Vihti, Finland) has been the lone Wildcat to see action between the pipes this season. He owns a .908 save percentage and 2.62 goals against average this season and recorded his ninth and 10th career shutouts over the past three series.
He currently sits at 258 saves this season which is fourth-most in the NCAA this season. Tolvanen has 2,790 career saves and needs eight more to pass Volunteer Assistant Coach Dieter Kochan for fifth in NMU history. He also sits in the top-five for the Wildcat career record book for goalie games played, shutouts, goals against average, and save percentage.
A pair of Wildcats lead the team with seven points this season in Loggins and Beaulieu. With six assists, Beaulieu also leads the team with six assists while last season's NCAA assist leader senior forward Adam Rockwood (Coquitlam, British Columbia) has five. Junior forward Darien Craighead (Surrey, British Columbia) has four goals on the season to lead the team while Loggins is next with three.
Senior defenseman James Vermeulen (Stony Plain, Alberta) is set to play in his 100th career game for the Wildcats the next time he takes the ice. He will join Loggins and Tolvanen who played in their 100th contests earlier this season and senior forward Denver Pierce (Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan) and senior defenseman Ryan Black (Stillwater, Minnesota) who reached the milestone last season. Beaulieu, Craighead, and senior defenseman Connor Frantti (Spring Grove, Illinois) could also reach 100 games played for NMU this season.
In the first five series of the season, NMU has been pitted against three ranked opponents, a pair of which were ranked in the top-10. As a result, the Wildcats have the seventh-hardest strength of schedule in the NCAA this season.
Grant Potulny enters his second season at the helm of the Wildcats after leading a program turnaround in 2017-18. In his first season, the Wildcats advanced to the WCHA Championship game and finished the year with a 25-15-3 overall record. Prior to NMU, Potulny was an eight-year assistant at his alma mater, the University of Minnesota.
The Wildcats own the all-time series lead, 22-12-1, and have won 16 of the 20 matchups on their home ice over the Seawolves. NMU has swept a series with UAA each of the past two seasons in the Berry and have a five-game win streak.

Talk Back: Huckabee's Record
Last night, I hosted a meeting of about 50 animal advocates in Des Moines, Iowa, at the fantastic Animal Rescue League South adoption center. Iowa is only two weeks away from the nation's first presidential caucuses, and voters in that state have a unique opportunity to influence the presidential candidates on animal protection issues.
They also have a unique opportunity to shape federal animal welfare policy, as one of their Senators, Tom Harkin, is Chairman of the Agriculture Committee—which has just passed several animal welfare provisions in the Farm Bill—and the other, Charles Grassley, is Ranking Member of the Finance Committee. We had a great and lively discussion about the importance of Iowa citizens getting involved in legislative and political advocacy for animals.
But you don't have to live in Iowa to have a voice on these matters. Many readers wrote in response to my columns on the presidential candidates—specifically the posting on Mike Huckabee—and here's a sampling of the comments we received:
I am urging all of you out there to email your favorite news channel and ask them to investigate these allegations. Let them know that the voting public takes this issue seriously. We animal-lovers are an extensive network, and we should do our part by forwarding this HSLF newsletter to all our contacts. —Kelly
I am outraged that you would use the actions of a son to do a political hit on anyone. This action makes me ashamed that someone in the leadership Humane Society (a group I support) would rationalize hitting a candidate based the actions of their son. Keep the focus on the candidate's own actions. —Larry
I appreciate your call to arms for people of faith. My belief is that animals are a treasured part of God's creation and that one of the ways in which we are called to be "good stewards" is by protecting their welfare. That a governor and former pastor can display such an utter lack of compassion, coupled with clearly questionable values, seems to be an indication of a much deeper social problem. In my opinion, someone like this should not even be in office, but unfortunately, politicians are often corrupt and self-interested. Protecting the welfare of animals is just a step toward a better global community. Thanks for keeping up with your blog! —Tara
If I can't trust him with my dog, how can I trust him with my country? —Jeannie
Well, if Huckabee thinks that animal cruelty is not worth a more severe punishment then I guess he stands the same when it comes to child or spouse abuse because that is what usually follows animal abuse. The offender begins with the animals then moves on to more interesting prey. THAT is the sad part. If you try to nip it in the bud you have a better chance of preventing further abuse but he doesn't care. So sad. —Gena
A nation's greatness is measured by its humanity toward the weak and helpless, such as its elderly, children and animals. Politicians who would stand silent on the issues of protection for children and animals are not fit to serve the public. We need leadership with compassion not a passion for blood sport. Thank you for uncovering the true Mike Huckabee. —Michele
I absolutely agree that cruelty to animals must be prosecuted and punished severely and never tolerated or looked upon with apathy. People who respect other living beings respect other people, show compassion and concern. Animals have just as much a right to be on this planet as humans. Humans are not the all mighty know it all, more important species on this earth. —Mary-Frances
I do not believe that many things that a child does is a direct result of his upbringing, but I do believe one's attitude about life and respect of all creatures IS!! A parent may teach some values that the child may choose not to follow but do any of you know someone with a moral upbringing who would torture an animal?? NO, is the answer. In my opinion, an apology is not going to make a difference. Can he truly say that his child didn't develop his disrespect of life from the people who have the most influence, the parents? —Jenell

Visual storytelling is our natural connection to humanity. We are visual learners driven to create and share stories to further our learning and evolution. We will forever love sharing our stories visually. Photography (and any camera) is a powerful tool we've created to tell our stories visually, instantly, and forever. Now, we have the tools to create and share our visual stories in real time, globally.
Now with all the advancements in technology, we're experiencing visual storytelling and life itself, so differently than just a few years before. But we're obsessed. We love sharing our stories on social media. We love sharing our knowledge through the world wide web. We aren't just sharing and gathering the world's knowledge, we're inherently learning from it in real-time and constantly evolving our awareness, our knowledge, hopefully creating bigger and better things with it. But are we? What are we sharing exactly? How are we personally experiencing life as we create these visual stories?
The Future Of Storytelling
With this exponential growth will come a whole new world in the next 30 years. A world we can not imagine right now. A world that depends on our abilities to control and use these technological tools, this higher intelligence, in all new ways. The world we are creating requires us to share our stories in all new ways. In our lifetime, we have the ability to create a world that ends the story of human suffering. We have the potential to create thriving experiences for every life form on this Earth. But these possibilities are only possible only as long as we see our limitless human potential. Only as long as we share our stories with a conscious intention at the core of every action. As long as we see the Martin Luther King in all of us.
Side note. I learned recently that Dr. King had no intention of leading any such movements just weeks before his first march. He didn't even see his own potential until he was willing to expand and experience life differently.
The challenge we face is not our ability to adapt to this constant rapid change in technology. It's our ability to expand our awareness so we can come back to using our natural human instincts to make decisions and share visual stories that matter. It's' the challenge to stand up for something, to not just believe in something, but to take action because you know. You know you have the powers not just within technology, but the powers as a human being, as a storyteller.
Technology and Visual Storytelling
Technology has made this global challenge obvious. But it has always really been a collective and individual challenge. The personal challenge we all face is letting go of old stories. To stop chasing mind focused intellectual knowledge. We don't need to chase that anymore. We have instant access to incredible amounts of information thanks to Google. But really, it's thanks to our natural desire to connect and grow as human beings.
The paradox is, because of this real-time access, we are also inundated with endless amounts of useless information that doesn't matter at all. That has no business being in our daily existence, infiltrating our emotions, behaviors, and most of all – OUR ATTENTION. That has distracted us from our truth.
I've always understood this. We all have. Now we're waking up to it. The age-old question, "Who Am I?" now actually has a whole new meaning in today's world. We will all become different people in the next 30 years, not just because we will age, but because we will live in a world that is forever changing and immersing its advances into our daily lives. This is inevitable. So, how will you answer this question in the next 30 years? What stories are you creating?
We are only at the beginning. The rapid change is just now starting to speed up life. Yet, many are still obsessed with ingesting and consuming this knowledge that's easily accessible. Good or bad, it's just more information. It's always there for us. We must step out of endless scroll and this need to intake unconscious, useless, time-consuming stuff. It will never give us the answers we seek. Instead, we must go within and focus on our true story. The story we want to be. The story in our business or work. The story in our relationships. The story in our daily lives.
This is the real question, "Who do I want to be?"
Visual storytelling is our key to discovering this answer. Photography is a tool that readily accessible and can immediately create new eye-opening experiences for us. Seeing the life through a new lens and consciously sharing stories that push the world forward, encourage and inspire others to share their stories, and connect physically and virtually with real human emotion, real human vulnerability, real human knowledge. This is what will start to bridge the gap between who we were, and who we are meant to become. Simply by enjoying something we all love to anywhere, using a tool we are already obsessed with.
The technology is at our fingertips. All we have to do is open our minds to the story we're meant to create, the experience we're meant to let unfold. This is what I have learned over the years as a professional photographer. I love how photography has made more a more curious person, it's brought out my desire to explore and share and connect to humans all over the world. Having a camera in my hand and shown me more creative potential that I ever thought I had. It has allowed me to experience life through this magical perspective, one that is constantly becoming more aware and more clear about what my real purpose is as a photographer. That is to share visual stories, consciously, with a higher intention, so I can show you that technology is our key to creative evolution. It's our key to unlocking our personal creative potential and all of humanity.
So will you join me on this creative adventure called life? Are you curious to unleash just a little bit of your imagination? Are you willing to see your own incredible potential? In a fun photography class, or by creating a unique photography experience for you, I want to help you discover your true story. So let's connect and create!
