Target's line of kids' clothing Cat & Jack (which you already know I love for our sensory-sensitive kids) is getting a limited-edition update, and it's sensory-friendly. You've probably seen me talk about the Cat & Jack collection before on our Facebook page because my sensory sensitive son has done so well with their regular line. And now they have a line of special needs clothing! This post contains affiliate links for your convenience.
The line was designed in part by Stacey Monsen, a design director at Target whose daughter is on the autism spectrum.
"I have a 7-year-old daughter, Elinor, who has autism. For pants or shorts, I either size way up, or buy pieces that are all function, no style. I've met lots of other parents who face similar challenges, including many of our guests and team members," Monsen said in a statement.
"After talking with some of my internal design colleagues I thought, why not create pieces that address some of these problems?"
Special Needs Clothing for the Sensitive Child
Items in the collection include shirts for girls and boys, and girls' leggings. All items feature heat-transferred labels in place of tags and flat seams.
Graphic tees are without embellishments and have one-dimensional designs to reduce the likelihood of irritation, and leggings are easy to pull on with a higher rise to fit with diapers.
Sizes range from XS to XL and 2T to 5T, with prices from $4.50 to $7. But before you run to the store, the collection is only available online.
While the collection is limited, Target said it plans on adding adaptive clothing for kids with disabilities this fall. I'm personally looking forward to seeing what they come up with — and I'm sure you hope, as I do, that this becomes a permanent collection!
"The key is to keep researching, learning and developing," Monsen added.
"The Target team has immense passion and collective knowledge, and I love that we're using it to develop products and solutions that will change people's lives. My goal is to keep being an advocate, for my daughter and for others."
I recently talked about the great Cat & Jack clothing line for my own sensory kiddo!

The first time I used dockless bikeshare was in November visiting Notre Dame, where LimeBike has a presence. It was a great experience, much better than my experience with Citibike or Indego bikeshare that require trips to/from stationary docks.
Rome also had bikeshare, and though I planned to take an early morning ride along the Tiber that never happened. But it would have been simple enough to use them, and simple enough to leave them wherever I decided to end the trip.
It's the space for chance and normal use that makes dockless so much better. They're much less "tourist" gimmicks compared to docked bikeshare, where you'll sit with a map and familiarize yourself with the various stations along whatever pre-planned route you are taking, and much closer to regular bikes of the sort you might own. You use them and leave them where you need to. And someone else eventually picks up from where you left off. Simple.
I hope Philadelphia starts adding dockless into their bikeshare mix in the next few years.

How to Make a Late Election for S-Corporation Status
Filing for S-corporation status with the IRS requires compliance with strict time guidelines. Form 2553 must be filed by the 15th day of the third month after your corporation's fiscal year. For most corporations, that means you must file by March 15 for the S-Corporation election to be effective for the current fiscal year.
If you file Form 2553 late, your election to be an S-corporation becomes effective the next fiscal year. However, if you qualify, you can file late and make your S-corporation election retroactive using IRS Revenue Procedure 2003-43. Your corporation will qualify to file Form 2553 late if:
1. Your corporation intended to be an S-corporation as of the intended effective date on your Form 2553;
2. Your corporation failed to obtain S-Corporation status solely because it did not file Form 2553 on time;
3. The original due date of your Form 2553 was less than 2 years ago;
4. Your corporation had reasonable cause or inadvertently failed to file form 2553 on time;
5. Your corporation has not filed tax returns for the year(s) it intends to be an S-Corporation (or your corporation filed tax returns as an S-Corporation using Form 1120S);
6. You file Form 2553 within 6 months after the original due date (no extensions) of the first tax return for which your corporation intended to be an S-Corporation; and
7. All of your corporation's shareholders have not reported income in a manner inconsistent with your corporation's intention to be an S-Corporation.
If you meet these requirements and wish to file a late election for S-Corporation status, write the following language at the very top of your Form 2553: "FILED PURSUANT TO REV. PROC 2003-43" and include a statement, on a separate sheet, addressing requirement #4 above. And make sure all shareholders sign both documents.

Customer Reviews
Received it on Valentine's day. Perfect stones, beautifully crafted with the silver beads. Lots of compliments. Thanks Azuro.
The beaded bracelet is beautiful. But the string already broke. Thankfully we found all of the beads and are getting it restrung. Disappointed the string broke so easily just from taking it on/off, and not in a rough manner either.
Hi Nicole, we are sorry to learn that the string broke. Could you send the string photo to firstname.lastname@example.com and we could arrange the replacement of the broken bracelet? Thank you and we look forward to your hearing from you!

Last month it was revealed the Warriors told their star player he could test his value on the free market, indicating they weren't willing to re-sign him.
Johnson took to social media Monday afternoon to "clear up" his situation.
He said at this stage there's no contract for him to sign beyond 2019 and that he's already approached some rugby league clubs in Australia to pique their interest.
The Canberra Raiders had been touted as a potential home for Johnson if he was to leave the Warriors, however the club said earlier this month that its not formally considering him as an option.
Johnson signed a two year deal with the Warriors last year believed to be worth seven figures a season.
The 28-year-old has played 162 NRL games since making his debut in 2011 and has been the face of the club for the past five years.
In 2014 Johnson was named the world's best player following New Zealand's successful Four Nations campaign.

Hi there,
it's week-end, jippie! And I am ready to craft.
Today I created a winter card, even though it feels all wrong and I'll have to keep it for next year. I see all the blogposts that mention icy temperatures and a really tough winter in America, but over here it's never been a proper winter at all. I haven't seen a single snowflake this "winter" and I had to scrape the car windows only 4 or 5 times... Today we had sunny 14 °C (about 57°F), the first trees are in bloom and spring is in the air. My daughters and I hit the garden today, me reading a book and the girls re-conquering the sand pit and the trampoline.
Normally this picture screams for frosty blues and greens, but instead I went for warm colors to match my spring mood.
I stamped the image and sentiment on thin vellum and heat embossed them very carfully in black. Then I colored the fox with Spectrum Noirs, which I found pretty tricky. The inks behaved entirely different. The background is one of the gelli plate prints I created a few weeks ago, by printing through a stencil. The blocks on the stencil are tiny in one corner and grow larger towards the opposite corner. In the lower left corner it didn't print well, that's why I chose to use it this way round, so I could cover part of that corner with the fox. And I am quite happy that I did, because this way it looks like a mild winter sun is shining down my little fox.
Warm wishes to all of you, especially to those who still have to suffer low temperatures

139 years ago, over a series of several days, a devastating fire overtook much of the Thumb. Here is an overview of the days of that horrific event and its aftermath.
Years of Lumbering Debris and Drought Created Fuel for 1881 Michigan Fire
The fires of September 4th through the 6th 1881, commonly known as the Thumb Fire, took hundreds of lives and burned well over one million acres. The fire destroyed major parts of Tuscola, Huron, Sanilac, and St. Clair counties. It forever altered the landscape of the Upper Thumb and its effect is seen in the area today.
The Army was summoned to the area and asked to assess the disaster and seek its cause. The report was issued in the Spring of 1882.
"The summer of 1881 was excessively dry, and the drought had done its work nowhere more effectively than in the wide, blunt, tongue of land which lies between Saginaw bay and Lake Huron. At the northern end of this tongue is Huron County. South of Huron is the counties of Tuscola and Sanilac, the latter bordering on the lake. Lapeer County lies south partly of Tuscola and partly of Sanilac. These are the counties that suffered from the great fires."SIGNAL SERVICE NOTES, No. I. REPORT THE MICHIGAN FOREST FIRES OF 1881.
"In September no penetrating rain had fallen for almost two months. Almost every stream was dry. Many wells had become empty. The swamps had been burned to hard clay by the sun, fiercer in its heat than it had been for years before. The vegetation of the fields and woods had become tinder. The earth was baked and cracked, the heat having penetrated to an unusual depth.
Ten years before, a great fire had burned over the country, and had left standing acres of dead timber, and the sapless trunks and dry branches made splendid food for the flames. Some of the old trees had blown down, and the forests were full of " wind-falls " and of great piles of dead timber which are called " slashings " by the people of the settlements. Everything was ready to feed the fires when they finally came. Old roots, pine tops, branches, brush heaps, timber, and the parched earth made the fuel for the burning."SIGNAL SERVICE NOTES, No. I. REPORT THE MICHIGAN FOREST FIRES OF 1881.
Forestville Spared
Along the eastern edge of the central Thumb, there was an enclave from Harbor Beach to White Rock which was spared the devastation of the fire. Forestville was spared through the quick action of volunteer firemen and a sudden shift of the wind.
One description of a family's attempt to save themselves from the fire illustrates its intensity. Four miles west of Forestville, the Richmond family resided. They had a nine-foot-deep well located about fifty yards from their home. As the fire approached, the husband, Sylvester Richmond age 43 placed his wife Laura and six of their seven children in the well in two feet of standing water. He continued to fight the fire in an attempt to save his home until the fire's heat was unbearable. He then joined his family in the well. The horrific firestorm lifted off the roof of the house and sent the burning debris over the well. The family was found two days later. All had suffocated while taking refuge in the well. The family's only survivor, 13-year-old Kenneth Richmond, was not home the day of the fire.
In the end, the 1881 fire swept through the same path as the 1871 fire in Sanilac County. It killed over 275 people, consumed 3,000 buildings and numerous cattle, hogs, and other livestock.
News Coverage of Michigan's 1881 Thumb Fire Was Nationwide
The area news covered the event with more interest. Newspapers of the day files reports like the following:
"The fire appeared at Bad Axe, 20 miles northeast of Cass City, a little after 1:30 p.m. Monday September 4th. The winds had begun at noon and, according to observers, trees were broken off at the stump, boulders rolled along like pebbles, and people lifted off their feet into the air. Above the wind, a strange roar was heard, the sound of the approaching flames. Shortly after 1 pm there was darkness, as though a curtain had fallen.
"Four hundred people fled to the new brick courthouse. As they watched, building after building burned around them. Thirty men pumped water from the adjoining well and kept the walls and tile roof wet. After a few minutes they had to return inside because of the heat, and another 30 would take over. Across the street, barrels of kerosene and gunpowder ignited when the hardware store burned. The store turned dark, and then blew into a bright, red glare."
When the fire finally burned itself out, there were 282 known dead, more than 3,400 buildings destroyed, and almost 15,000 residents homeless. Many were blinded – some temporarily and some permanently – by smoke, gusting dust, and flying ashes that traveled faster than a whirlwind and blotted out the sun for days. The disaster changes the landscape of Michigan's Thumb region forever and jump-started the move from lumbering to agriculture.
The 1881 Michigan Fire Blackened the Skies of New England
"In Boston and along the eastern seaboard a mysterious "yellow sky" appeared. The skies darkened shortly after dawn on Tuesday, September 6, 1881 – throughout all six New England states. In the "forenoon," as they called their mornings then, witnesses watched a "London fog" envelop their homes and roads. This London fog soon took on a yellowish hue. More than a few whispered that the "Saffron Curtain" was the sign of a divine judgement. The causes behind the odd skies of that September day were eventually traced to smoke that had traveled eastward from Michigan's massive "Thumb Fire" that had burnt over a million acres of woodlands in Michigan's Thumb Area all on one day, the day before."
The 1881 Michigan Fire Was the First Disaster Attended by the American Red Cross
In 1881 Clara Barton founded the American Red Cross. The organization's first meeting had taken place in Washington DC at the home of Sen. Omar D. Conger of Michigan. Their first official disaster relief operation was the response to the Thumb Fire, and the Red Cross provided money, clothes, and household items to victims of the fire.
American Red Cross chapters collected supplies, food, and donations which were coordinated and shipped to Michigan to give aid to 14,000 people in need of help.
Chilling Eyewitness Accounts of the 1881 Michigan Fire
"Frances Cuza, a pretty-faced Polish girl, with ladylike manners and good English speakers, wearing a Derby hat with some tips of peacock feathers in it, evidently relief" goods, told the Inquirer about the scene at the bridge and the death of her mother (the mother also of Mrs. Kubccki). She said her father was just beside her, and her mother died of suffocation in his arms.
The girl's lip quivered, her voice faltered, and her eyes tided with tears as she said: "We did not know my mother was dying till it was all over." She said the fire was preceded by a wind-storm, and that lights, blue, red and green, were seen in all directions, and the atmosphere about them smelled of sulfur; that stones an inch in diameter tad red-hot fell among them, on their clothes, and burned them, showing as proof a well-shaped arm frightfully scarred from the wrist to the elbow."
Michigan Fire Makes National News
In the days and weeks after the fire, the news stories began to trickle to the world. By September 7th the New York Times printed a story in part.
"The village of Deckerville, on the Port Huron and North-western Railway, is totally consumed. Anderson Station is partly burned. In Mendon the only loss was the elevator. Port Hope is nearly all burned. In Verona Mills, in Huron County, the buildings are all destroyed but the church and a store. Bad Axe is all gone but the Court-house and a hotel. Sandusky is totally destroyed, and Richmondville is totally consumed. The fire is raging in the western part of Fortsville, and the people are all moving to the lake shore in Watertown Township two entire families have been burned to death. The mail-carrier from Marlette to Bad Axe is reported lost. The mail-carrier from Sandusky to Carsonville saw two dead bodies on his route, and the horrible truth remains only partially told."The New York Times, New York, New York, September 8th 1881
Michigan Historical Marker of 1881 Great Fire
This historical marker was placed in 1957 and located within the Brown Roadside Park, on the east side of M-25 about 1/2 mile south of the Pigeon Road (M-142)
"Great Fire of 1881 – Small fires were burning in the forests of the Thumb, tinder-dry after a long, hot summer, when a gale swept in from the southwest on Sept. 5, 1881. Fanned into an inferno, the fires raged for three days. A million acres were devastated in Sanilac and Huron counties alone. At least 125 persons died, and thousands more were left destitute. The new American Red Cross won support for its prompt aid to the fire victims. This was the first disaster relief furnished by this great organization."
How many people died in the 1881 Michigan Fire?
The stated death toll for the 1881 fire is stated as 282. However, the real total will never be known as there were many lumbermen and transient laborers in the region.
How many acres were destroyed in the 1881 Michigan Fire?
Over two days over a million acres were burned. It left 3,400 buildings destroyed, and almost 15,000 residents homeless.
What was the economic loss of the 1881 Michigan Fire?
The U.S. Army offered an estimate of $2,003,390. In today's dollars that equates to over $50,000,000.
How Does the 1881 Michigan Fire Compare to Other Wildfires in History?
In terms of loss of life, the 1881 Great Michigan Fire is considered one of the top ten wildfires of all time. With 282 lives lost the 1881 wildfire is considered the 6th worst in history.

Does evolution make us or are we just drifting that way?
Evolution may be responsible for a range of complex traits, including height and waist-to-hip ratio, and diseases such as schizophrenia, research from The University of Queensland shows.
The findings improve understanding of how natural selection shapes human populations, and could lead to better prevention, diagnosis and treatment of complex diseases through an enhanced knowledge of their underlying genetics.
The study, led by Professor Jian Yang from UQ's Institute for Molecular Bioscience and Queensland Brain Institute, used more than 400,000 genetic samples from African, East Asian and European populations.
"Many human complex traits are concentrated in different populations around the world," Professor Yang said.
"For example, populations in the Northern Hemisphere tend to get taller the further north you go, and European Americans have a lower body mass index (BMI) than African Americans, but higher than Chinese, Indonesians or Thais.
"Environmental factors currently play a role, but most complex traits have a genetic component.
"The question is whether or not these differences are the consequence of natural selection or simply the result of what we call 'genetic drift' – where gene mutations (also called genetic variants) become more or less frequent in a population by chance."
Professor Yang and his colleagues set out to answer the question by testing to see if genetic variants were more differentiated across African, East Asian and European populations than expected under genetic drift.
They looked at a range of complex traits – including height, BMI, waist-to-hip ratio and cholesterol levels – and four common diseases – coronary artery disease, type II diabetes, Alzheimer's disease and schizophrenia.
If genetic variants associated with a complex trait resulted from natural selection they should appear more frequently than expected under genetic drift.
The analysis supported this, showing that the genetic variants associated with height, weight-to-hip ratio and schizophrenia were more differentiated than expected by random drift.
The genetic variants expected to affect height were higher in Europeans than Africans and East Asians and were consistent with observed differences between the populations.
"Our research was made possible by the availability of massive banks of genetic information that are being harnessed to shed new light on modifiable health risks that underlie common diseases."
The methods developed in the study, published in Nature Communications, are general and applicable to other complex traits.

Clayton County Sheriff Victor Hill had the wife of a political rival arrested after she said she penned emails to the department supporting her husband's campaign.
Wednesday evening's arrest of Gerrian Hawes, which was streamed live on Facebook by her husband, has some questioning whether the arrest was an abuse of Hill's power as sheriff.
"This sounds like an effort to intimidate a potential political opponent, which is in my mind, not an appropriate use of law enforcement powers," said Harvey Newman, professor emeritus at the Andrew Young School of Policy Studies at Georgia State University. "We want people to feel able to speak truth to power. But this appears to be an effort to, if not silence that, to at least intimidate it."
A spokesman for Hill did not respond to multiple requests for a comment.
Robert Hawes, Gerrian's husband, said the troubles began after the former sheriff's deputy posted on Facebook his desire to seek Hill's job on Aug. 10.
He alleges Hill then sent an email to Clayton Sheriff's Office staffers that disparaged Hawes' sons, accusing them of stealing their father's department-issued gun in 2014 and selling it at a pawn shop. Hawes said the accusation is untrue.
After Hill emailed the staff, Gerrian Hawes replied to the email, writing: "Where there is love, fear cannot exist," her husband said.
"All this comes after I made the announcement I was running for sheriff," he said. "She responded because she thinks he is trying to place fear into us."
Hill and Gerrian Hawes continued to email each other until the sheriff threatened to arrest her, Robert Hawes said.
In a Facebook livestream of her arrest, Gerrian Hawes can be heard telling viewers that she was being taken into custody after she and Hill got into the back and forth over her husband's plans to seek Hill's job in 2020. The next thing she knew, deputies were at her door with an arrest warrant.
"Something is wrong with Victor Hill," she is heard saying in the video as deputies escort her from her home to a waiting squad car.
"Let's go viral," she tells the audience — which numbered around 55,000 by noon Thursday — as her husband chimed in with commentary of the arrest. She has been charged with harassing communications.
Bond for Hawes was set at $1,500 early Thursday when she appeared in Clayton Magistrate Court. She was expected to make bond and be released late Thursday.
The dust-up is the latest in a turbulent history for Hill, who is very popular among many Clayton County residents, but is also feared by others who say he uses his office to settle scores with rivals or anyone who gets on his bad side.
Hill has been the leader of the Clayton Sheriff's Office since 2013, his second go-round in the top job after running the department from 2005-2008. When the seat was up for re-election in 2016, he received 63 percent of the vote in the Democratic primary.
Over the years, however, detractors have described his behavior as everything from reckless to criminal.
When he first took office in 2005, he immediately fired 27 employees, placing snipers on the sheriff's department roof as they were escorted out. In 2012, he was accused of several counts of racketeering, theft by taking and making false statements, though he would later be acquitted of all charges.
In 2015, he accidentally shot a female friend while demonstrating "police tactics" during a date. And last year, his law enforcement certification was put on probation for two years by the Georgia Peace Officer Standards and Training Council.
This year, he has been linked to Mitzi Bickers, a Clayton Sheriff's chaplain who was indicted in April in connection to the bribery scandal at Atlanta City Hall. Charges against her include witness tampering, wire fraud and money laundering.
Rodney Williams, a former Clayton Sheriff's Office chaplain, said Hill's response to Gerrian Hawes' emails is part of a pattern of intimidation.
Williams turned himself in to police in February after he learned Hill had taken a warrant out for his arrest because of an email Williams sent to his former colleagues after he was fired. In the electronic message, he called the sheriff "toxic" and said he had an "evil agenda."
Soon afterward, he faced charges of computer trespassing of his own.
"I saw it coming, that's just how he operates," said Williams, who was at the courthouse Thursday to support Gerrian Hawes. "You give him a little bit of bait, the snake will stick his head out because he does not have any self-control. That's just what he does."

The sea pansy has two types of polyps on the upper portion of the body, or rachis. One type of polyp is responsible for feeding. These feeding polyps extend above the sand and secrete a mucus net to capture small prey. The polyps have tentacles and stinging cells enabling them to sting and swallow plankton that become trapped. Each feeding polyp sends its food to a common digestive system so the entire colony feeds as one. The second type of polyp is small, wart-like, and occurs in clusters. This polyp serves to create a water current through the colony.
An exhibit on sea pansy bioluminescence can be found at the Aquarium in the tunnel near the Jelly Lab. Sea pansies are usually found at the Aquarium in tank number 25.

As my kids were funneled to friends' homes and sitting outside hospital rooms plugged into electronics I was honestly grateful to have, I was tempted to throw the Intentional Summer Experiment out the window. Your kind reactions and continuous opportunities to share this idea were the fuel that kept me going. I was so grateful for the plans I'd made in May – the chores app was already loaded and our character themes already created so it was easy to redeem the time we did have whether at a restaurant for dinner (this working mom with a traveling husband was not cooking much at this point – shocking) or just simply reminding them to check the chore app before bed. Sophia and I had done at least one mother daughter lesson together on a non camp week.
(If you are doing Growing Little Women, I would encourage you to maybe break the chapters into two sittings. My daughter found that to be more enjoyable as I sensed her restlessness and didn't want to hurry and finish.)
With all the stress of family dynamics added to carrying others burdens walking alongside families in the counseling office, truthfully there were large three hour time blocks I wanted to do nothing but recover by staying in bed and watching TV or napping (which I sometimes did.)
Last night as I was doing just that and talking to my sister Melissa Spoelstra who was diligently delivering a pep talk, my almost nine year old daughter entered the room with a stack of towels in hand. She then informed me not only had she finished a book and her checklist but I was to relax because she was "doing laundry." Although pleased beyond measure, I quickly launched out of bed to double check laundry central as she had only received two brief instructional sessions on settings and detergent both when I was furious with her for not separating yet again her underwear from her pants. (Yes, counselors lose their tempers even though we teach anger management Always easier said than done.)
Surprisingly blankets, sheets and towels were cheerfully humming in both machines, creating a demand for a lesson on when to wash in what temperature. My favorite part of the entire experiment by far is when she sweetly exclaimed to me after a couple loads, "Mom, I don't appreciate what you do enough. My feet are killing me."
So maybe you too had great plans for the summer that now seem like distant dreams. I want to encourage you to press on or even start again. You never know – your laundry day might just be right around the corner.
For those starting now thinking it's too late or barely out of the gate, I always tell myself every time I've exercised for several months and then stopped for several months. "When you add up the months over years of time, I have twice as fit a body than I would of have." Even if your journey if full of half attempts, your children's character is still more developed than it would have been had you done nothing.
How is your summer going? Feel free to share or ask questions. Stay tuned. My next post will be in response to a question I received on Facebook regarding moms who work from home. If you too have a question for the counselor regarding parenting dynamics and special challenges summer brings, feel free to comment below.

When imagination and reality meet, we can challenge our own perception of the possible and our habitual thinking in a very concrete way. This intersection was used to make hospital staff, users and architects build up the future birthplace together.
The New Nordic Hospital Zealand was entering the process of building a whole new hospital from scratch. This raised the question: "How is the future birthplace going to work when we have the chance to rethink it?" The midwives were followed in a great number of births, where their workflow was noted. Through interviews and smaller workshops, the base of a 1:1 scenography of a totally new delivery room was created. Midwives, new mothers and their partners, representatives from the product industry and the architects of the future hospital building were invited inside to enact and shape the future birthplace.
Gitte, Chief midwife, participating in the project
This project lead to a rethinking of the disposition of the ward and content of the birth delivery room for the New North Zealand hospital, which is going to be finished in 2022. Through a multi-background involvement, the disposition and content are designed to accommodate both the workflow of the staff, feelings of the coming parents, and professional regards of the architects. A zone division of the room, where all these diverse needs are accommodated, is one of the main outputs of the project.
Fast forward film of 1:1 modeling workshop of the future birth room together with midwives, parents, doctors, architects, and product industry representatives:

Hyundai isn't a company that likes to look at its past too much. You won't find a mint-condition Pony in their corporate headquarters, nor will you find a Stellar. Same goes for the Excel. The Sonata is one of their nameplates that actually dates back to the late-1980s, but you won't find an original car sitting in their lobby. They like to look forward, as a company that is not only growing rapidly, but increasing in influence with every single day. Their cars are generally accepted to be of good build quality with what looks to be good long-term reliability (see the Elantra, reviewed here), but that old stigma still remains at times.
Kia has pursued a slightly different strategy with some of their cars, like their flagship K900 (reviewed here). For up to $70,000, you get a superbly luxurious rear-drive executive car, complete with a 5.0L V8 and a genuine focus on rear-seat comfort. It's a good effort by the brand, but when's the last time you saw a K900 on the roads? BMW will happily sell you a four-cylinder 528i for the same price, and those are much more commonplace in the real world. The reality is, brand prestige still matters, and one of the biggest hurdles the K900 hasn't really overcome is the "mainstream" car stigma that is applied to it.
Hyundai's strategy lately has been somewhat different. Building on the success of the Genesis model nameplate (with both the Hyundai Genesis sedan, and the Hyundai Genesis Coupe), they did what many industry pundits predicted: the Genesis brand would be split-off into its own premium luxury brand. The Hyundai Genesis sedan would become the Genesis G80, and the replacement for the flagship Equus would become the new Genesis G90. We started a week with the Manhattan Brown Genesis G90 with the new Genesis Experience.
Typically built with premium design and materials in mind, the luxury car dealership is often the first impression prospective customers get. The Genesis brand prefers to do things differently, by challenging that status quo. The Genesis Experience aims to increase convenience by bringing the dealer experience to you, rather than the other way around. Customers book an appointment, at their convenience, with the Genesis At Home service. Representatives will arrive either at your home or office for a demonstration. If you like what you see, there's one single, guaranteed price, no haggling necessary. Eliminating the traditional dealer experience is an ambitious undertaking, but the theories and logic behind the execution are sound, progressive, and is sure to be a good talking point.
The Genesis G90 serves as the flagship of the new Genesis brand, and as such, is a fairly large car. The G90 only comes in one length – long. Measuring at just over 5200mm, it is just slightly longer than the Lexus LS460 (long-wheelbase) and in-between the short and long-wheelbase variants of the BMW 7-Series (reviewed here). As is typical for cars in this class, most of that length goes to increasing rear-passenger room – the wheelbase is a generous 3159mm – once again longer than the Lexus. What Genesis has done a good job with, is accentuating the rear-drive proportions: the front axle is pushed far ahead towards the front of the car, making for a shorter and more "desirable" front overhang.
Overall, the Genesis G90 features a restrained look that borders on conservative, if not slightly anonymous at times. The large front grille borrows some cues from Audi's large corporate front grille, and the taillights also borrow the basic shape from the Jaguar XJ (reviewed here). The original Hyundai Genesis didn't even feature a front emblem identifying the make – the G90 doesn't suffer from this sort of modesty, with a large Genesis crest on the leading edge of the hood. The only real drawback to the Genesis G90 will depend on the front license plate regulations where you live. In Ontario, front license plates are required by law, and its location in the front grille somewhat detracts from the G90's clean lines.
The Genesis G90, like the Hyundai Equus before it, focuses primarily on occupant luxury, and in true Korean fashion, the right rear occupant is the priority. Top-grade Nappa leather is just about everywhere, with premium soft-touch materials even, lower down at the bottom of the interior door cards. Real wood is used in generous proportion, but it isn't of the open-pore variety that is all the rage these days. Even if you have to drive yourself around, the G90 does a great job. The front driver's seat (heated and ventilated) can be adjusted in up to 22 ways, and isolation from the outside world is ensured by double-pane glass and active noise cancellation. Soft-close doors are standard equipment, though it took more finesse to find the right point where the door would electronically pull itself closed. The Germans do a better job here, in this case.
Top quality materials aren't much of a surprise, and considering the brand's lofty aspirations, that's worth some credit. The Lexicon audio system features 17 speakers, and 7.1 channels of output. What surprises is how good it sounds, on an overall level. It doesn't boast about having a ludicrous amount of speakers (see the Cadillac CT6 with its Bose Panaray system), but everything just sounded fantastic. One setting is the QuantumLogic Surround Concert Hall mode, and while it's often difficult to objectively describe sound output, enabling this option essentially makes the doors disappear, from an acoustic point of view. You are no longer able to really pinpoint where the speakers are, or where the sound is actually coming from. It really feels as if you are a live studio audience.
The Genesis G90 sees the launch of a new 3.3L twin-turbo V6, and an updated eight-speed automatic (built in-house). Featuring twin single-scroll turbos (fairly small ones – good for reducing turbo lag), direct injection, and all the latest technologies, it puts down 365 horsepower at 6000RPM and 376 lb-ft of torque from 1300-4500RPM. It is down on power somewhat compared to some of its competitors, but the torque delivery borders on effortless, like that of a lazy V8.
For $3,000 more, you get a 5.0L naturally-aspirated, direct-injected V8, producing 420hp. While the horsepower figure with the V8 is higher, the torque numbers tell a different story. The 383lb-ft it produces is a smidgen more than the turbo V6, but that torque arrives at a lofty 5000RPM. This is a V8 that likes to rev, so you'll have to wind it out to get to the higher output figures. The turbo V6 delivers a better experience, with all that torque available essentially off idle speeds. The V6 sounds a lot like the naturally-aspirated Lexus 3.5L V6 (reviewed here), and that's not a bad benchmark, either. For those who value the sound of their luxury powertrains, there isn't much substitute to the V8. The fact that neither the Cadillac CT6 nor the Lincoln Continental offer V8s at this time is somewhat interesting.
Regardless of engine, power is sent to all four wheels via an eight-speed automatic transmission. The G90's HTRAC AWD system is standard equipment in Canada, but is optional in the United States. Going back to that in-house eight-speed automatic transmission, it's clear that the Koreans have done their homework in improving their hardware. Combined with the smooth torque curve of the V6, the eight-speed auto delivers seamless gear changes. The all-important first to second gear shift is especially smooth – something some other transaxles struggle with, especially under load. It moves up to the #2 spot in my books in the longitudinal RWD/AWD flagship class, behind the ZF 8HP.
Genesis rates the G90, with all-wheel drive and the 3.3L twin-turbo V6 at 13.7L/100km in the city, 9.7L/100km on the highway, and 11.9L/100km in a combined cycle. During my cold week with the G90, I managed an indicated average of 13.5L/100km, with quite a bit of low-speed commuting to and from downtown Toronto. For comparison, the optional 5.0L V8 is rated at 15.2L/100km in the city – expect worse figures if you like to dip into the throttle for that eight-cylinder rumble. One thing the G90 is missing is an idle start-stop system. Most of us in the DoubleClutch.ca offices are not big fans of idle start-stop systems, but they do help when you sit at long red lights. There is a brake-hold function that allows you to rest your right leg when at these long red lights, but the engine will stay running. The G90 will hold 83L of premium 91-octane fuel.
Unlike much of the competition, Genesis seeks to keep the pricing structure for their flagship product simple. The "base" G90 with the 3.3L turbo V6 starts at an as-tested $84,000 before taxes and additional fees. There are no option packages – you just choose the engine of choice, and the interior/exterior colour scheme. It's refreshing, because a lot of the standard equipment that the G90 has, often are optional extras elsewhere. If you prefer the V8 (or rear ventilated seats, with recline function), that price jumps to $87,000.
The G90 has the capability, and execution to disrupt the old guard in the flagship luxury car business. Established names like the Mercedes-Benz S-Class start at over $100,000 these days (before any options), so it's a little difficult to seriously include them in the conversation. Cadillac's CT6 occupies a much larger price bracket, with a much lower base price, but the base model only comes with a turbocharged four-cylinder engine. The fully loaded CT6 Platinum is more comparable, but at over $99,000, it still comes with some (small) shortcomings, namely the powertrain. On the other hand, it does have the road presence that the G90 doesn't. A fully-loaded Volvo S90 doesn't seem to be a likely competitor, but comes in at about $86,000. It also features four-cylinder power, but its unique take on forced induction keeps things interesting. The Scandinavian design really is stunning, but you'll have to be okay hopping into a smaller car to get it.
The 2017 Genesis G90 3.3T ends up punching well above its weight, not only in terms of value for your money, but also for the attention to detail, to a point. While this does a good job increasing brand awareness (by lowering the age of the average owner), supreme ride comfort suffers, generally speaking. The G90 doesn't try to be anything it isn't, and its focus on luxury and the execution (see the Genesis Experience) really shows. It doesn't quite have the eye-catching road presence some other cars do, so it'll be a question of how much this matters to you. Overall, it's not quite perfect, but coming from a brand that is quickly starting to gain traction, the Genesis G90 is a very superb effort.

Time with God - Sept. 8, 2010
- Sign Up for Email?
- Published Sep 07, 2010
Wednesday 8th September
But the news about Him was spreading even farther, and large crowds were gathering to hear Him and to be healed of their sicknesses. But Jesus Himself would often slip away to the wilderness and pray.
The busier we get in ministry, the more we need to get alone with God!
Jesus' ministry was growing. People with spiritual needs were gathering in large crowds to hear Him. Many people were getting right with God. It was a spiritual revival. At the same time many people with physical problems were coming to Him for healing. If Jesus had approached His ministry from a natural perspective, He would have thought, "My ministry is growing! I have to capitalize on this moment. I have to be there for people. It doesn't matter what I have to sacrifice personally, the gospel has to go out!"
But what did Jesus do? He "would often slip away to the wilderness and pray". Let me say it again, the busier we get in ministry, the more we need to get alone with God. Ministry is a waste of energy unless it is the overflow of my own walk with the Lord. Even ministry into the lives of people who desperately need it is not more important than maintaining my own prayer life and calling on God for His work in and through me. Take time to "slip away" and recharge with God.

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- The president of a Bulls Head business says she is frightened after a worker had a face-to-face encounter with an intruder in the second burglary at the shop this summer.Dana Montana of Grapevine and Florist on Richmond Avenue said she had just left the store at around 7 p.m. on Monday when an unidentified man entered the shop.Montana's manger was still in the store, however, and saw the man on the security cameras.A video shared with the Advance/SILive.com shows a man wearing a gray hoodie, gloves and a face covering with an American flag on it taking money from the cash register.The video shows the man rummaging through the register and putting what looks like cash in his pocket.Not knowing if the intruder was armed, the manager "walks slowly and closes the door" that separated him from the suspect, Montana said.This closed off the intruder's exit, trapping him in the shop.Shortly after, a brief interaction between the manager, who was holding the door and could not call 911, and the masked man begins, Montana said."I'll give it back. I'll put it back," the man can be heard saying in the video, as he pleads with the manager to let him leave."Look... right... https://www.silive.com/news/2020/09/ill-give-it-back-video-shows-trapped-intruder-put-back-beg-floral-shop-owner-to-let-him-go.html

I am so excited to read the this special issue of National Geographic covering Animal Communication. I think I am going to get really busy! I will write a review once I have read through the issue.
12/13/2019 04:14:07 pm
National geographic is probably one of the best channels in the entire world. Well, I really do love watching national geographic shows, and I want my children to do it too. I think that the price of the channel is pretty high, but then again, it is a pretty good channel to have. I believe that I have learned so much from watching their shows as a child. I do hope that I become able to share this with my children.

How do I talk to Mormons about Jesus?
Firstly I want to say that I am a dedicated Christian, have been and always will be.
For the past few weeks my house has had Mormons knocking on our door. Very determined and committed I will say, as they have come back again and again. I am led to believe they will come back again, and would like to know what in the Bible I can put forward to them to basically say they are "wrong".
I want to take this oppourtunity to introduce them to the real God and Jesus (not what they will be expecting, but much better for them), though I want to know exactly where they get their information from (is it from selective parts of the Bible and/or extra written material and/or their entirely own book). I want to be able to show them hard evidence that God and Jesus exist, and are Lord, and give them reason to actually turn to the Christian faith (I don't know how likely that is though, but God can do wonderful things).
Any help with what they believe and what Christians should say in response to them would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Josh!
Hi Josh,
I've had a similar experience with Mormons, and have chatted a bit with an ex-Mormon Christian, so here are my reflections on it.
Yes, they are wrong and there's plenty of places in the Bible that contradict their teaching, but pointing to them won't necessarily convince a Mormon. They assert that new revelation was given to Joseph Smith in the 1800's, so a "newer is better" argument works for them, even if it's flawed. They'll just say that God corrected himself the next time. As you look into the details of this 'revelation' it's all a bit fantastic, with magic spectacles and mysterious golden plates.
Salvation, for a Mormon, is by works, which is why they're so keen to come back to you. Any part of the Bible that speaks of salvation by grace through faith would be good to have in mind. (e.g. 2tim 3:15, Eph 2:8-9, Heb 11). If they're missionaries from Utah, say, then they are solidly indoctrinated to believe that any criticism you make is an attack of Satan himself. As you open your mouth, the shutters go up and it's all over. You can't really convince them of truths from the Bible, which is really frustrating!
What hope is there then? Lots!
You can actually give them a reason to turn to Jesus: Assurance. Those with faith in Christ WILL be saved aside from works. We have confidence in the hope we share in Christ. It leads to Joy and Love, which is something they don't have. Pray, and show some love for them, and see what God does… Even giving a cool glass of water would be a shock to them, since they get so many doors slammed in their faces.
(Just a note of caution: Mormons aren't idiots. There's something attractive to their lies, so don't get sucked in!)
Hope this helps.
PS: The book "So What's the Difference" is a bit dated now, but is still really helpful.

Article Title
Approaches to the Regulation of Franchises, Founder-Member Contracts, and Referral Sales Agreements Student Symposium - Interpreting the Statutory Definition of a Security: Some Pragmatic Considerations.
Franchises, founder-member contracts, and referral-sales agreements are marketing practices used to expand retail businesses and typically categorized as investment contracts. These marketing schemes continue to leave investors susceptible to fraud and misrepresentation because security regulations may fail to adapt to continuously varying methods in which promoters acquire capital. The Securities Act of 1933, the Securities Exchange Commission of 1934, and the Blue Sky Laws were attempts to regulate marketing schemes by establishing purposefully broad definitions of investment contracts. Securities laws were meant to have a liberal application for the purpose of being flexible and adaptive. In 1946, the landmark case SEC v. W.J. Howey Co. constructed a test to determine which marketing schemes would be regulated under the securities acts. Its immediate progeny applied a strict reading of the test which failed to account for the continuous variety of promotional practices. A strict application of Howey led to a rigid and inflexible reading that said profits must come "solely through the efforts of others" and disqualified many investment contracts from protection against fraud and misrepresentation. The critics of a strict application have rejected the Howey test entirely or have applied the test more liberally regarding the expectation of profits. The rejection of Howey established the "risk-capital concept," which identified any form of capital an investor risked, in a transaction of which they had no managerial control, to determine if a security contract existed. The liberal approach to Howey avoided the efforts in creating a new framework, and it focused on the principle rather than the plain meaning of the test to determine that "solely through the efforts of others" referred to managerial efforts. The risk-capital concept and the liberal application of Howey have both refocused on the nature of the transaction and provide the securities acts with adaptable regulatory schemes.

The lipbalms that I'm talking about are handmade with love by one of the well-known personal care brand Aroma Essentials. This range of lipbalms have emollients like Shea butter, Mango Butter Almond oil, Coriander oil and have got lipsafe colours in it.
A range of 5 flattering shades have been launched last month in Pink, Megenta, Red, Maroon and Caramel. I received two of these for consideration.
I love the mild cooling sensation on my lips that I experience for a couple of minutes after applying the lipbalm.
These lipbalms are made in small batches and no preservatives, parabens, phthalates, or SLS are used in it. Just make sure to store them in refrigerator.
Must try product from my best-loved brand... Go for it!
