Mother Mathilde - a life in 5 Booklets
Marie-Justine Raclot was born two hundred years ago this year (1814) and lived for almost a hundred years (+1911). She was to become the pioneering missionary Infant Jesus Sister to Malaya, Singapore and Japan. The first sign of her having been observed to have authority and ability to control situations was her appointment, while still in her twenties, to the school in Béziers where the Form Vs were proving to be rebellious.She soon sorted them out and also, during the decade she spent there, led large reconstruction works.
Her mission to Penang was in response to another rebellious situation. Under the auspices of the Missions Étrangères de Paris, five sisters had set out for Singapore in 1851: Paulin Radot, the designated Superior, died at sea; the sole English woman chose a different life with the Captain; Euthyme was injured by a falling pulley in a storm and was unable to work thereafter. The Bishop in Singapore took one look at Euthyme (24), Eudoxie Claerbout (22) and Rosalie Flammarion (32) and sent them on to Penang. A Miss Aloysia was appointed to teach them English but, when she led them astray, Paris took action and in 1852 Mathilde was told to "leave everything and come" with no further explanation. Gregory Connolly, a 21-year old Irish novice who had a De la Salle brother already in Malaya, Appolinaire Testeride and Damien Dijeon accompanied her. Mathilde's letters from the ship indicate that they were seasick most of the time, but her "heartsickness" at the responsibility entrusted to her was worse: "If I were still there with you I'd be able to convince you of my limitations", she wrote to Mother General. She faced major problems in Penang, where the young Sisters had become used to an easy life with less prayer time and more leisure time spent with the MEP priests. Mathilde insisted that they return to the Rule. She found a young Irishman, a very good Christian, to teach them English. The following year Damien was named Superior in Penang and Mathilde sailed with three Sisters for Singapore.
About twenty years after her first going out, Mathilde was again on the move, this time accompanying the first four Sisters to Japan. She had to return to Singapore two months later with Gregory Connolly who was ill. When Ferdinand Constantin, the youngest and to all appearances the strongest, died, the mission was reduced to two sisters. Mathilde went to France and returned with twelve sisters for Malaya and Japan. In 1875 she offered herself to the Japanese mission and was replaced in Singapore by Mother Gaetan. Between her first departure for Japan in 1872 and her final visit to Malaya in 1881, Mathilde made twelve journeys between the two countries.
She was devoted to the poor and the orphans. When the government established public schools to cater for the poor, the Archbishop of Tokyo asked the sisters to educate Japanese ladies. Because the Roman Catholic religion could not be promoted, Mathilde told her sisters that it was even more important now that the pupils see them practise their religion. They all hoped she would make it to her hundredth birthday but, just in case, they decided to celebrate it on 7th July 1910 so that she could see her past pupils, boarders, Japanese and European. On the 8th December she was heard to pray, "My God, what are you waiting for?" Huge crowds attended her funeral in January 1911. One of her orphans said: "She cared for the body and the soul. For us it is no exaggeration to say that she is a second Francis Zavier."
There is a rather daunting four-volume life of Mother Mathilde in the archives in Paris. Sr Brigitte Flourez, with the help of her Sisters in France, has done us all a great service by condensing that biography into five booklets without losing the sense of this powerful woman: her deep faith, her trust in Providence, her courage and above all her Christian zeal which she communicated to her Sisters. We all think we know Mother Mathilde's story. With these booklets Brigitte provides us with the opportunity to re-acquaint ourselves with her remarkable life and might even encourage us to undertake further reading about the early days of the mission to Singapore, Malaysia and Japan.

Anthony Maglica, the creator of Maglite, may not have been swayed by Gov. Rick Scott's pitch to uproot the Ontario, Calif.-based flashlight company.
Scott — who's repeatedly attempted to poach jobs in states, including California, led by Democratic governors — recently reached out to Maglica, in tandem with a week-long "Made in America" White House effort launched by the "jobs, jobs jobs" governor's pal, President Donald Trump.
While Maglica's products are manufactured in California, state law bars him from using the "Made in USA" stamp because some of the components are made elsewhere.
In a letter to Scott sent Thursday, Maglica wrote that he'd like to discuss "business-climate issues" with the governor.
But, rather than accept Scott's offer, the inventor — who launched his flashlight biz more than six decades ago — tried to enlist support for what he said would be an even more meaningful endeavor: an attempt to kill the California law.
Maglica asked Scott to help sway Congress to pass a measure — S. 118, dubbed the "Reinforcing American-made Products Act of 2017" — which would preempt the Golden State's rules on the "Made in America" labeling.
"One shouldn't have to be a Californian to support S. 118," Maglica wrote. "California's maverick statute is just as much of a problem for manufacturers from Florida, or any other state."
In his letter to Scott, Maglica noted that the governor's pitch "wasn't the first suggestion" that he relocate to another state.
Maglica penned an op-ed piece published in The Wall Street Journal last month, in which the inventor complained about his fight against California's "freakish" labeling statute.
While the Maglite flashlights are assembled at its Ontario factory east of Los Angeles, some of the components, most notably the LED lights, are imported.
California law prohibits manufacturers from using the "Made in U.S.A," "Made in America," or similar labels on products "if the merchandise or any article, unit, or part thereof, has been entirely or substantially made, manufactured, or produced outside of the United States."
Scott wrote to Maglica on July 17, urging him to move Mag Instrument Inc. to the Sunshine State so the products could be labeled as "Made in the USA."
In his response to Scott, Maglica invited the governor, rumored to be considering a bid for U.S. Senate next year, to come west.
"I would like to take the opportunity to invite you to visit Maglite's world class manufacturing facility in Ontario, California," Maglica wrote. "I would be delighted for a chance to speak to you further about this important law-reform matter, or about business-climate issues in general."

Dasient raises funding for internet security: The developer of anti-malware solutions has raised a new round of funding for an undisclosed amount from Google Ventures and others. The Sunnyvale, Calif.-based company, co-founded by former Googlers, monitors web sites and ad networks for web attacks.
GoingOn Networks grabs $6.2M to help colleges go social: The San Francisco company has raised a round of equity funding to help academic institutions build social communities online, according to a filing with the SEC. The company, whose platform is used by the University of Pennsylvania, says it helps clients increase student engagement, strengthen alumni outreach and foster collaboration.
Ipadio secures $1.6M for enterprise phonecasting: The United Kingdom-based company, a subsidiary of digital communication company Nemisys, has secured funding to grow its phone blogging business, TechCrunch reports. Founded in 2009, the company offers organizations the ability to phone in field reports and have the audio accessible via the web. Ipadio is initially getting about $1.1M in funding, and the rest will be available later this year.
LOC-AID brings in $13M to enable location-based services: The developer of a multi-carrier location-based services (LBS) platform has raised a third round of funding led by H.I.G. Ventures. The Boca Raton, Florida-based company, which works with wireless carrier partners like AT&T, Verizon and Sprint, allows developers to enable LBS on any wireless device.

Pigs made quite the mess on a highway in Missouri. Three lanes on the westbound Interstate 670 past U.S. Highway 71 in Kansas City were closed off after a tractor-trailer spilled an entire load of animal parts on the highway on Thursday.
The Missouri Department of Transportation (MDOT) confirmed to local media the spilling splattered across the highway was comprised of pig intestines.
The spill caused quite the backup on the highway. MDOT shared images of the long line of stopped cars awaiting the highway's reopening. However, the building traffic was only one part of the problem—emergency crews had to figure out exactly how to clear the roads of the mess.
In a series of tweets, the department said police, emergency responders and firefighter crews were initially using a snowplow to clear the pork product from the highway. After an hour of shoveling, the team was forced to take greater measures to clear the road, resulting in a Bobcat being used to clean up the porcine mess.
Once the pig intestines were removed from the road, crews had to clean up the remaining residue using powdered soap and water. Although much of the hog content had been removed, at time of post the highway had still not reopened.
While the pig intestines certainly caused chaos on the highway, folks on Twitter were mostly concerned about how emergency teams were handling the smell. The pig intestines are the gastrointestinal tract in which the animal's food is digested later expels waste as feces, so it's safe to assume the aroma engulfing the highway was even more horrendous than the actual waste covering the road.
Hundreds of people commented on the social media site with wisecracks regarding the spills and efforts cleanup crews were going to take to clear the air of the smell after ridding the actual intestines from the highway.
The messy situation isn't the first major disruption to take place on a U.S. highway. A tanker carrying 3,500 gallons of hot, liquid chocolate flipped over on a highway in Arizona causing a river of chocolate to flow down Interstate 40. It was unclear what caused the tank to flip over at the time of the accident.
The chocolate contents were being stored in the tanker at temperatures of 120 degrees.
Although the spill caused some traffic delays at the time, emergency crews managed to clean up the delicious mess within a few hours.

Through a Mussar Lens: Silence as Pathway to Truth
One of the many things that draws me to study and practice Mussar is an affinity I have for being alone and engaging in introspection. For as long as I can remember, I have enjoyed taking walks alone in nature and spending quality time with my inner self.
We know that falsehood [שקר ] in speech or action has a destructive effect on our relationships. But we perhaps do even greater harm to our spiritual lives by speaking and living falsely or with inconsistencies and without integrity. Why do we lie? Why do we live with inconsistencies? There is certainly no one answer.
My Mussar Journey
Unbeknownst to me, my Mussar journey began in October 2003 when I heard Alan Morinis speak at a Jewish healing conference in the Bay Area. I remember being impressed by his story and his approachability, but I did not consider pursuing the practice of Mussar because I was overwhelmed at that time.
Around the Mussar World: South Florida
Living at the end of a very long peninsula can sometimes be isolating. You can drive most of the day and still be in Florida. When I was recently in the Northeast, I realized just how isolated we are in our little paradise. In three or four hours, you can be in Boston, or New York, or New Jersey, or Philadelphia, or Baltimore, or Washington, D.C. All of those communities boast a strong Mussar presence and many students of The Mussar Institute.
Truth About Transitions
The word "transition" makes me think of a major life transition — marriage, divorce, birth, death, job loss, or move of the kind that has a major impact on our lives, whether positive or negative.
But the truth is that transitions need not be major. They are happening all the time. Less monumental transitions occur each year, month, week, day, and moment. Every time we face a choice about what to do, it is a point of transition, what might be called a choice point. We can choose to move ahead on a project with joy and enthusiasm or we can hold back in fear or lose energy along the way. We can start with great intentions and find out that we didn't pay sufficient attention to detail.
Practice Corner
One effective way to ensure that what you speak is truthful is suggested to us in a poem by the medieval Spanish Jewish poet Shmuel Ha'Nagid, who writes:
Delay your speech
if you want your words
to be straight and free of deceit—
as a master archer
is slow to take aim
when splitting a grain of wheat.
The practice, then, is to pause a beat before saying something, and in that instant to assess whether your words are "straight and free of deceit."

text: Tung Chiang, studio director at Heath Ceramics and also my workshop neighbor, has been gathering bells over the years and suggested we collaborate to make a small series of wind bells combining his hand-thrown ceramic pieces with clappers made by me in metal and wood. Neither of us knew how hard it is to make a nice-sounding bell, so we decided it was a great idea, he started throwing clay forms and I began to experiment with brass, string and wood. Many, many months and lots of scraps later, we finally did emerge with a model with beautiful details (including a hidden but exquisite chinese button-knot hand-tied by Tung) and a nice tone, and we began the actual making of them. Tung threw each bell by hand and we chose the glaze colors together, and with the help of my studio crew I fabricated seven sets of jointed clappers in oxidized brass and hardwood, with hand-carved and painted sails. The seven original bells have all found homes, but a limited production version of these is in the works.

A new mum claims she found blood-soaked bandages inside her body seven weeks after giving birth.
Alexandra Loredana said she pulled out "a piece of decomposing material" after she felt uncomfortable going to the toilet and was plagued by a "horrible smell".
She had complained to a midwife before the shocking discovery, and claims she was told that "everything was fine".
But Ms Loredana said she was stunned when she found the bloody bandages and went to the A&E to see a doctor, sparking an investigation by the NHS.
The mum, who gave birth to her son Dominic at Wexham Park Hospital in Slough, Berkshire, in January, told the BBC: "I took out a large piece of decomposing material from inside me that was soaked in blood."
She said she had suffered from thrush and "light vaginal wounds" and had explained to her midwife that she had been feeling some discomfort.
But, she said, the midwife checked her stitches and found nothing wrong.
Ms Loredana tried to get an appointment with her local walk-in centre, as she continued to notice the foul odor, but couldn't get one until March 7.
She said: "Last night I had a bath for the first time and I felt courageous enough to wash with my fingers inside my vagina to clean it.
"I was breathless when I took out a large piece of decomposing material from inside me that smelled horrible and was soaked in blood. How did this happen?"
The mum then went to the A&E at the same hospital where she gave birth and was seen by a doctor.
The NHS Foundation Trust told the BBC that it has launched an investigation into the mum's claims.
Mirror Online has contacted an NHS spokesperson for comment.

The coalition's welfare cuts have pushed 1.75 million of the UK's poorest households deeper into poverty, leaving more families struggling to cover food and energy bills, according to a report.
The report by Oxfam and the New Policy Institute highlights a drop in the overall value of benefits, which rose by less than inflation, as well as changes to housing benefit and council tax support that have forced some families into paying housing costs they were previously deemed too poor to pay.
It finds that together those changes mean about 1.75 million of the poorest families have seen an absolute cut in their income in the past three years.
The report warns that the shape of welfare support has changed dramatically just as people have struggled with rising living costs, and that many jobseekers, carers, single parents and those with disabilities unable to work have become worse off.
"We are already seeing people turning to food banks and struggling with rent, council tax, childcare and travel costs to job centres," says Oxfam chief executive Mark Goldring. "At a time when the five richest families in the UK have the same wealth as the bottom 20% of the population it is unacceptable that the poorest are paying such a heavy price."
The report found that 300,000 households have experienced a cut in housing benefit, 920,000 a reduction in council tax support and 480,000 a cut in both.
In the past year 400,000 households have been pushed further into poverty by cuts to housing benefit or council tax support and households affected by both of those cuts typically lose about £18 per week.
The report follows figures last week that suggested that more than a million Britons have been helped by food banks in the past year.
The Trussell Trust, the UK's biggest food bank network, revealed that more than 900,000 people received food parcels in 2013-14, a 163% increase on the previous year. Its figures understated the likely level of people going hungry, it said.
Oxfam is urging the government to determine what the absolute minimum level of support should be for households. "It must be high enough to mean that those reliant upon it are not forced to walk the breadline," said the charity.
The Department for Work and Pensions said it was making the welfare system "fair to claimants and taxpayers" and insisted a strong safety net remained.

A brutal crime takes place; onlookers shrug and do nothing. The stabbing death of a woman named Kitty Genovese outside her apartment building in Queens in 1964 was the archetypal instance of such a social phenomenon. Or was it? "The Witness," a documentary opening on Friday, June 3, calls the familiar version of the case into question. The specter of public indifference was carved in stone by reporting in The New York Times that said dozens of witnesses ignored the victim's calls for help. This film, directed by James Solomon, challenges that contention, using witness accounts, police reports and more as Bill Genovese, Kitty's brother, searches for a less callous version of her death. In re-examining the case, the film becomes a study of how the news media shapes narratives that can take on a life of their own when, as in this case, they capture an attitude or opinion that was waiting to be crystallized.
Documentary Retries Kitty Genovese's Neighbors
A picture credit last Sunday with an article about a documentary about the murder of Kitty Genovese misidentified the source of the photo-graph. It was supplied by The Witnesses Film LLC, not by FilmRise.
A version of this article appears in print on , Section AR, Page 2 of the New York edition with the headline: Film; Kitty Genovese, a Different Story. Order Reprints | Today's Paper | Subscribe

The Thai people have a strong sense of identity and an open and engaging nature. Meeting local people is one of the joys of travelling here. This is closely followed by the food, whether it be steaming bowls of rice on a street, eating freshly cooked fish on the beach or pungent snippets of zingy flavours, spicy chillies and fresh fruit from the markets, Thailand will stimulate the taste buds. Thailand still offers fabulous value for money and should be considered for families, honeymooners or adventures alike.
Bangkok has undergone a renaissance over the past few years. With funky gin bars and pop up restaurants occupying former warehouses in Chinatown and new hotel openings along the river, it is a frenetic and colourful city - be prepared for the crowds and pack broad shoulders for walking the city. As with many countries there are pockets which have been cornered by the mass tourism market but a well-chosen itinerary visiting less developed areas can still provide you with that heavenly experience for which Thailand is renowned. The beach hotels are second to none, rivalling any in the world and with the first Michelin star recently awarded in Phuket (November 2018) they are offering a dining experience to compete on a truly international stage. Less visited rural areas opening in the north allow for self-drive options and boats to Laos being a stunning and peaceful way to experience the Mekong.
Despite its reputation for scantily dressed visitors (and some locals), Thailand is actually a pretty conservative country and dressing modestly is appreciated and will win you friends and respect. Buddhism is integral to the lives of Thai people and with that comes a sense of calm. There is a wonderful Thai expression – 'jai yen' - which translates as 'cool heart' and shouting shows a loss of face. A calm nature and a quick 'mai pen rai' (meaning no problem) will get you far in the 'Land of Smiles'.
Our Asia & Oceania Product Manager Sally was bought up in Thailand and delights in sharing her local secrets - which are the best markets, where to have a stylish dinner or searching out the best street food. Deborah has visited several times and loves waxing lyrical about her Thai travels, and Amy has returned from her second visit with plenty of new ideas and hotel suggestions.
From the 1st February 2018, Thailand has imposed a smoking ban across a number of popular beaches including beaches in Phuket, Samui, Krabi, Hua Hin and Koh Phi Phi. This is to maintain a clean and safe environment for all to enjoy.

of September, early October is Phuket's vegetarian festival. Not a food
festival but one of spiritual cleansing, stretching back to the Quin and Han
dynasties in China. During this day long festival ceremonies take places at
Chinese shrines and specific worshippers known as Mah Song (or spirit horses)
find themselves in a trance, feeling no pain. The Mah Song bless local people
and preform extraordinary feats such as walking over hot coals and piercing
their bodies, faces and tongues with sharp objects. Quite a spectacle.

Thailand benefits from great weather year round, with the best time to visit being from November to March. During this time day time temperatures are more bearable and there is less chance of rain. Outside of this period humidity can be higher, with the monsoon from July to October bringing most of the country's annual rainfall during this period.

After a successful event partnership in California USA, Little Miracles was delighted to partner with Forever 21 in Europe by supporting the grand store opening in Amsterdam. Bloggers and fashionista's queue outside all morning waiting to get the opportunity to shop in the beautiful new store in the heart of the city. Little Miracles were provided outside in the queue and then for all shoppers as they finally made it in to the new store.
Little Miracles were proud sponsors of the 2014 Attitude Magazine Awards. Musician and TV presenter Myleene Klass presented the 'Fittest Man of the Year' award on behalf of the brand to Dan Osborne (cast member of TV's 'The Only Way is Essex'). Bottles were on every table on the night of the awards and in all of the guests goody bags. A large number of celebrities were photographed in front of the Little Miracles logo on the red carpet, including Naomi Campbell, Graham Norton, Boy George, Tom Daley, Tulisa, Ella Henderson and Paloma Faith, meaning the brand featured in many UK newspapers the next day.
EXPERIENTIAL BROUGHT TO YOUNG CROWDS IN THE LIFES A BEACH STAGE AREA AT THE ISLE OF WIGHT MUSIC FESTIVAL. Little Miracles teamed up with the Lifes a Beach stage at the Isle of Wight Festival with a branded beach hut area complete with sand sculpture of a giant bottle. Bringing organic energy to the young crowds attending one of the UK's top 5 festivals, Little Miracles was available in a number of boutique bars. To bring additional energy, Little Miracles also provided Voga on the Lifes A Beach stage on the Saturday and Sunday morning for festival goers to enjoy.

Yesterday in Parliamentary Question time, NSW Opposition Leader Luke Foley questioned Premier Gladys Berejiklian over the ongoing issues facing the 23 Wave 5 sub-contractors who are owed $7.5million.
The Premier and her Government avoided any offer of compensating these people, and instead insisted on repeating lies about the state of the issue.
It is known that the Minister for Roads, Freight and Maritime Melinda Pavey, as well as the Small Business Commissioner Robyn Hobbs had been in contact with these families. However, there is no action or activity on behalf of these people, and the Government is doing nothing.
We are pleased to see that Luke and the Labor party have taken us up on our offer of information and collaboration, and will continue to fight for these subcontractors!

An Introduction To: Grease Face
Loud, in your face, and artery clogging, Grease Face embodies the characteristics of DIY. Originally hailing from the far reaches of Hinesburg, Vermont, Grease Face is comprised of childhood friends Jackson Glover, Brenden Provost, and Liam Thomas. Since Glover and Provost began school at Champlain College in the Fall of 2017, the band has become a fixture of the Burlington music scene. We got to chat with Grease Face about snacks, music, and plans for this year.
hope: We've seen you guys a few times, but for anyone who hasn't, could you tell us who plays which instrument?
Jackson: I play bass and yelp.
Liam: I play geetar.
Brenden: DRUMS.
hope: How long have you been playing together?
Jackson: We're actually coming up on our 10 year friendship anniversary. We've played instruments with and without each other a bunch during that time but Grease Face has been a thing for about a year and a half.
hope: Congrats on 10 years. How'd y'all meet each other?
Jackson: My family moved to Hinesburg VT when I was in 4th grade. Those two were in my homeroom class and we've been friends since.
Liam: The first time I met Brenden was in 2nd grade. He was drawing butt cheeks in his math book.
Brenden: After drawing butts in my math book during class, Liam approached me and we have been friends ever since.
hope: Can you explain how Grease Face came to be? What made the three of you come together to form this specific band?
Jackson: When we were in middle school we started playing together at school but it was mainly just an excuse to dick around. In high school we started to get really into Sabbath & some contemporary garage. Also going to local shows—specifically Apartment 3—was a really big inspiration to us.
Brenden: Junior year of high school I cleaned out my basement and convinced my parents to let us make noise in the house. After a while, we started to play too loud for the house and had to move to my garage. Ever since then we have used my garage to write songs and practice.
hope: Besides Black Sabbath do you have any other musical influences? Do you all share similar influences or do you each have different tastes?
Jackson: Yeah, definitely. We take a lot of inspiration from new-ish garage rock bands Oh Sees, Ty Segall, Black Lips...
Liam: Mudhoney was a pretty big on for me.
Brenden: We look up to the simplicity of old school punk bands.
Jackson: Maybe a lil DEVO, Television, Wire…. We all like similar stuff so its always been pretty natural.
hope: How do you describe Grease Face's sound?
Liam: Like a bus full of kids that are on their way to the petting zoo.
Brenden: Grease Face's sound is the secondary product derived from putting three easily aggravated teenagers with similar interests in music in the same school for years. Grease Face's sound can be described as energetic, fun, fast and slippery.
Jackson: a flock of seagulls wearing cowboy hats trapped in a basement.
hope: Creative, but weirdly fitting… When did Grease Face start playing shows?
Jackson: Our first show was 12-1 on a Sunday night at Radio Bean during a blizzard on the same night that Jonathan Richman was playing in Burlington…. That was December 2016.
hope: Since then, is there a show you've played that stuck out as a favorite?
Brenden: Pretty much any show where our friends come out is a great time.
Liam: Yeah any basement show is always a lot of fun.
Jackson: Yeah. Playing with Apartment 3 before they split was pretty special for us too because they were like our local heroes / dads.
hope: That must've been great. What is it about basement shows that you like so much?
Jackson: I think that's just what we've been doing primarily this year. I really like sharing the space with the crowd.
Liam: There's good energy and it's personal.
Brenden: Basement shows are always so low stress because usually we are good friends with the owner of the house and the kids who come through to see us.
hope: That's a good point. House shows are so personable. Do you have any pre-show rituals?
Liam: We go to Brenden's, strategically pack the car up and chill.
Jackson: Like a puzzle.
Liam: Sometimes we get food after the shows with our pals.
hope: What kind of puzzles // what kind of food? Anything specific?
Jackson: The puzzle is getting everything into Brendo's car. It's a process sometimes...
Liam: Usually Jackson and I are under a drum or two.
Brenden: Always Wings Over Burlington.
Jackson: Something GREASY.
hope: That's a nice segway to the next question. What's the story behind your name?
Brenden: We were making our yummy signature meal "Greasy Queso Hot Dogs" when "Mr. Butterfingers" Liam Thomas dropped a pack of hotdogs… The dogs spelled out on the floor the words "Grease Face". We had no choice but to make those words the name of our band.
hope: Could we get that recipe?
Liam: It's top secret.
Jackson: Absolutely not.
Brenden: U wish.
hope: Fair enough... What albums would you bring if you were stuck on a deserted island?
Brenden: A New World Record by ELO fer sure.
Liam: Electric Warrior by T. Rex.
Jackson: Melted by Ty Segall.
hope: What are Grease Face's plans for this year? Anything we should keep an eye out for?
Jackson: We are going on our first lil tour this summer—which is exciting. Moving into an apartment together, Working on some new music/recording and playing a lot more around town.
hope: Sweet. Where's this tour headed?
Jackson: The plan is to head down to baltimore and back. An official itinerary will be released soon...
hope: Looking forward to it. Last question: How has music and being in a band impacted other aspects of your lives?
Liam: I went to college an hour away this year, but now I want to be closer. I only spent 2 full weekends at my school—other than that I was back here either for practice or a show. Now I'm moving to Burlington this summer with Brendo and Jackie.
Brendon: Being involved in the music scene here has helped me figure out what I want to do in my life as far as a career goes. If it weren't for the band, I wouldn't be studying Sonic Arts at Champlain. I also never would have met any of the people I call my close friends.
Jackson: Yeah it definitely involves some time commitment, and we definitely made a lot of new friends. For me planning everything and making posters has definitely tied into other interest of mine like design. I think the decision to stay in Burlington for all of us was definitely pretty tied up in the band.
Grease Face play Burlington, VT on Thursday, May 31st with Fleece, Lost Dog, LEAN.TEE & Waste Band at SideBar. Entry to the event is $3 // RSVP to the event here.
- hope all is well

Defence Secretary Des Browne is facing continued criticism after a Government U-turn banned military personnel from selling their stories pending a review.
After several personal accounts from sailors held in Iran for 13 days appeared in the media, Mr Browne conceded the decision to let them speak out had not been a success.
He insisted it had been a "very tough call" for the Navy but everyone involved accepted it had "not reached a satisfactory outcome" and lessons must be learned from the review.
A ban on any Armed Forces personnel selling their stories to the media was introduced last night.
But opposition politicians accused him of acting too late and said the Ministry of Defence had acted "appallingly" in putting its sailors "up for auction".
Shadow defence secretary Liam Fox said: "The Ministry of Defence have managed to lose public sympathy for our sailors and marines, cause division within the ranks of the armed forces and serving members of the armed forces have, in effect, been put up for auction."
Mr Browne - who had been made aware of the earlier decision - announced the ban in his first intervention in the major row.
It came after a further day of criticism from politicians, military figures, relatives of killed and injured personnel and even one former tabloid editor.
They claimed the individuals were being used as pawns in a propaganda war and warned the move could set a highly dangerous precedent.
In a statement issued by the MoD, Mr Browne said he recognised the dilemma faced by Navy chiefs in the face of a media hungry to hear the stories of the individuals.
Among the critics of the decision to allow the stories to be sold is former Sun editor Kelvin MacKenzie who said he would not have touched the accounts "with a barge pole" and accused the Government of a "catastrophic error".
Meanwhile, Iranian television released fresh footage of the sailors and marines, showing them relaxing and playing table tennis.
The footage appeared designed to refute the accounts that they had been held isolated in tiny cells for much of their time in captivity.

Spa Me 210 5K challenge - race report
Marni Sumbal
For if you only bring one with you on race day, likely you will find yourself struggling during the race, questioning your previous training or, even worse, questioning why you are out there doing this in the first place.
This weekend was jammed-packed with races all over the U.S. With many of my Trimarni Coaching and Nutrition athletes racing in events this weekend, I stayed busy tracking athletes and updating my Trimarni Coaching and Nutrition facebook page.
I think we all strive to have a good attitude on race day but sometimes that is easier said than done. Hopefully you want to be participating in the event that you signed up for, that you registered for and that you trained for, but sometimes the body is saying something different on the days leading up to the race. Sometimes you feel tired, depressed, anxious, nervous, moody and overwhelmed and you find yourself comparing yourself to others, expecting perfect performances and doubting your potential. Many circumstance are within our control - not only having a good attitude on race day but making sure your training is reflective of how you want to feel on race day. One thing I try to instill with athletes is that you don't have to spend extra energy on the other competitors, weather or terrain.... for your race day performance is solely based on your current level of fitness. For if your mind is ready but the body is overtrained or fatigued, it's hard to find that second gear when the body is running on empty. But if you accept where you are today, well, that is going to be your best tool for how you should perform on race day. Of course, surprises come when you have a game plan and you go into the race with confidence and the belief that you can let the body and mind work together.
As for pacing, it all depends on the race but for most of us, is is a deciding factor on race day. For many times, holding back just the slightest on the bike in a triathlon can make the difference of running a consistent pace during the last leg or walking and jogging inconsistently, only to wish you had conserved 5-10 minutes on the bike to save the extra 30-60 minutes on the run - sadly, nutrition can't save you in a race when the tank is empty.
I want to give a special shout-out to my best friend and Trimarni Coaching athlete Jennifer Patzkowsky who paced her race at IM Texas. This was Jennifer's first IM and she didn't miss a beat in her training. Well, let me rephrase that. With a full time job, you better believe workouts were missed, schedules were re-arranged and creative workouts were required. However, thanks to good nutrition, proper recovery and dedicating time to streng training, recovery gear/tools, massage, epson salt baths and rest days, Jennifer spent her time training and recovering. For many, when a training plan is not balanced, I find athletes spending much of their time and money on MRI's, physical therapy, lost training days due to injuries that can't heal and of course, the waiting game to get back that mojo to feel sharp again.

Of course, I can't have everything but I take a lot of time scoping out my races, especially the longer ones.
As the clinical dietitian for Dr. Townsend (family physician with Baptist Primary Care), I was really honored to be part of this 5K event as an effort to bring more fitness into the St. John's community. There was a fantastic turnout with over 100 people for this first-time event. I saw competitive runners, families and lots of kids...which all make me incredibly happy - people of all ages, wanting to challenge themselves and feel the rewards of training and racing.
I spun my legs for an hour before the race and arrived to the venue at 7:35am to help with the race. At 8:25pm, Dr. Townsend spoke a few words and I had my turn on the mic, reminding everyone to just keep moving forward.
We lined up at 8:35am and off we went.
By .3 miles, the kiddos who sprinted up the slight grade in the parking lot, were done. Perhaps their pacing strategy was non existent :) I couldn't help but smile.
The course was beautiful and Ultimate Racing INC did an AMAZING job with this event. I absolutely recommend them in the future if you are needing a well-organized company to put on your event.
By mile 1, I was so thankful that I did a long warm-up with many jogs and pick-ups because my heavy legs that I felt around 7:50am were feeling strong.
Mile 1: 6:20 min/mile
Heart rate 159
I was running with a group of guys so I tried to stay with them the best I could. As we rounded the corner to the right, I could feel a little wind as the sky was beginning to get a little bit cloudy.
I managed to stay close to the guys in front and I tried not to look at my watch. For the lactic acid in my legs was not going to slow me down. I kept telling myself...."Marni, it's only 3 miles!!!"
Like every race, I was playing games with myself...so when I got to mile 1, I told myself "only 1 more mile until you only have 1 more mile to go!"
At mile 2, I was breathing heavy so I tried my best to get out a good exhale and to keep a steady stride. Thinking about my last long brick a week ago where Karel had me do a 2:30 ride with long tempo intervals, followed by an 11 mile run w/ 6 x 1 mile repeaters at half ironman pace w/ 2 min walk recovery, I had absolutely NO excuse to not give it everything I had.
Mile 2: 6:31 min/mile
Heart rate 181 (I'm fairly certain, I don't see that HR very often..luckily, I know I can push hard and I'm still alive :)
I took a look behind me at mile 2 and I amazingly, I got into my rhythm when I noticed I was all alone. Certainly, I couldn't keep this pace more than the 5K course required but I felt like I was able to run a decent last 1 mile without slowing down too much at the end.
Calling every fast twitch fiber in my body to come into action (perhaps I needed to wake them up today!), I picked up my cadence, pushed hard and when I saw the clock, I was overjoyed.
Mile 3: 6:45 min/mile
Heart rate 170
Finishing time: 19:52 (PR - best time!)
Pace: 6:32 min/mile
Heart rate average: 170 bpm
Overall female winner
4th overall
After the awards and spending some time chatting with the other athletes (I love answering sport nutrition and training questions and what better than at a race!), I spun my legs easy for around an hour and spent the rest of the day on the computer (work related stuff and tracking athletes) before my last long brick on Sunday - which went amazing!!!

United manager Mark Robins was pleased his side will have a ball in the second round draw following a 2-0 victory over Forest Green Rovers.Gary McSheffrey got both of the goals, with both taking wicked deflections en route to goal to beat the Conference South outfit. The former Coventry player netted a goal in each half to seal victory, while the Iron also kept a vital clean sheet.
"We're into the next round," he stated to The Iron Player.
"It won't be the best game that the supporters have watched, that's for sure, but we're into the hat and that's all that matters.
"I thought we did some things well in the game, it was just a bit bitty and wasn't really free-flowing. We came up against a good side with professional footballers at Forest Green, so they gave us a decent game and we knew we'd get one.
"Having said that, the scoreline could have been greater for us and I thought we restricted them to limited opportunities."
He added: "It's a job well done at the end of it and we can now look forward to the next round."
The game started on an even playing field, with Lyle Taylor threatening inside the opening minute. United broke the deadlock after 20 minutes – a goal coming at the right time according to the Iron boss.
"I thought we started off in a similar fashion to them," continued Robins.
"Neither team dominated and neither team was overrun. We couldn't get into a flow of passing and moving and then all of a sudden things started to click a little bit and we ended up getting a goal at the right time.
"Both goals took deflections, but Gary tells me he was planning for that. I thought both were going on target. The first one hit a leg, then the turf and gone over the keepers' head and the second took a deflection and went in the opposite corner."
He added: "It shows you if you shoot, sometimes you'll get a little bit of fortune and then other times you do everything right and have a little bit of misfortune – like the one Jennison Myrie-Williams hit."
It was roles reversed from the game against Peterborough a week ago as McSheffrey provided for Myrie-Williams from a corner, only for the former Port Vale man to have a rasping volley crashing off the crossbar.
"That was absolutely phenomenal and on another day that would have flown into the top corner," said Robins.
"Had it done so, it would have been goal of the century, never mind goal of the season. It was an element of something we have worked on, but an element of the players seeing what is on, which is great. They've got to see the opportunities and on that occasion they did."
He added: "I just wish it went in, although we would have never heard the end of it."
See much more from Mark Robins, Gary McSheffrey and Eddie Nolan on The Iron Player.

Extractions & Wisdom Teeth
Photo Walkthrough
About Extractions
We approach the extraction of teeth with the greatest of care, taking all of the appropriate measure to ensure patient comfort at all times. Our Galileos 3D imaging system can pinpoint the position of your wisdom teeth in three dimensions, making diagnosis and treatment as simple as possible. Having wisdom teeth extracted is typically uncomplicated, taking only about an hour to complete.
About Wisdom Teeth
Wisdom teeth are molars that tend to grow in when a person is in his or her teens or early twenties. It is so common to extract wisdom teeth because by the time they begin growing in, there is little to no room left in the mouth to accommodate these extra teeth. They are unnecessary to oral health and can have a negative impact on the smile.
If your wisdom teeth present as more of a challenge, we may refer you to a specialist for removal.

Martha Litton Guirl
I received my B.A in Art History and Fine Arts at the University of Arkansas. I am a Fayetteville native and 3rd generation artist. I grew up exploring the Art Institute of Chicago every summer during family vacations. Joseph Cornell's work impacted me from an early age and the seeds of assemblage were planted. Collecting found objects is a passion for me. I really enjoy it when people give me things they have found as well to use in my artwork. Sometimes it can take months to years for pieces to finally come together. I work intuitively with materials and let the shapes, textures, and symbolism dictate how they should be placed together.
I enjoy putting objects together that don't have an immediate relationship. I am drawn to skeletal and botanical items that when blended together create intriguing connections visually and conceptually. I like the challenge of finding an artistic association of contrasting objects. I love everything vintage and am compelled by the hidden history.
"Nature has its own coherence and structure and the artist need only watch for it and capture it."

It's National Ice Cream Sandwich Day! How could I not possibly write about Ice Cream Sandwiches. When I think about them so many memories come to mind. One of them is a conversation with a friend about the flavor of ice cream in an ice cream sandwich. I told her that I thought it really did not matter what flavor ice cream or "sandwich" it was, as long as the flavors went together and it tasted good. She insisted that the ice cream had to be vanilla and the "sandwich" chocolate. As I sit and think about this again, I have come to realize that our views on ice cream sandwiches and our views on spirituality are similar.
For her, despite the diversity of translations of the Bible, and there are numerous, she will only read the King James Version of the bible. She will only read out of the King James Version. A few years ago, someone she knew gave her a new Bible. Initially, she was excited. However, then she realized it was not the King James Version, but the NEW King James Version. It was not something she could read. It was not her vanilla ice cream in a chocolate sandwich.
I on the other hand, am not so concerned with where the lessons and inspiration come from, rather being open to receiving them and understanding why they are coming to me at this moment in my life. The recipes I am sharing today are for those of you who are like my friend, those who are a little more like me, and those who are somewhere in between. Happy National Ice Cream Sandwich Day!
Here are the three Ice Cream Sandwich recipes you can find on my Pampered Chef websiteRead More

19 Apr 10 Best Practices to Design Emails
No.1 Design for the Top 600 Pixels by Three Inches
Your email will most likely need to sell itself within an email preview pane no matter what email service provider it's sent to. You'll have about 600 pixels of length across and about three inches of depth. You need to make sure that your value proposition, your call-to-action, and any key information that will compel users to keep reading is in that space. Avoid heavy use of email graphicsthat may not load when designing the email preview pane section of an email template.
No.2 Make Links Look Like Links
If you want the best click-through possible, you'll want to make your links in email not only look like links but also stand out. At a minimum, links in your email should always be underlined. Ideally, links will be formatted in a blue font and will also be bolded. If your style guidelines prohibit links from being bold or blue, make sure that they are underlined. Do not ever use images or buttons to denote a link or, if you do, make sure that there is a corresponding text link nearby.
No.3 Minimize the Use of Images
While images do have unquestionable visually compelling results, always remember that in the vast majority of your subscribers email service providers inboxes images will not load. The more you use images, the more that the vast majority of your email subscribers will see blank white space. While you certainly want to include some images for those who can see them, don't rely on images alone to sell your product or convey your message. Be sure that any information that it is critical that your subscriber knows is not trapped in an image. Always use alt and title text behind images to ensure that there is still copy appearing even when your images do not load.
No.4 Minimize Copy and Text
Obviously, your email must contain copy and textThat's the core of any email. However, you never want to include so much text that you may risk going into a spam folder or junk folder, and you don't want to overwhelm users with more text than they can read. User shorter text blocks that link back to full articles or product pages on your website or to landing pages.
No.5 Be CAN-SPAM Complaint
While this is a best practice, it's also the law. You'll need to ensure that your physical mailing address is in the email, that users can unsubscribe from your email with either a single click or by replying to the email, and that the email in some way conveys that it is an advertisement. If you're confused about CAN-SPAM, you may want to revisit the section in this book dedicated to it.
No.6 Make it Easy to Unsubscribe
While this may seem counterintuitive, the risk of making it difficult for users to find a way to unsubscribe from your email is that they will instead mark your email as spam. This will impact your sender reputation and deliverability in the future. Make it easy and simple for users to find a way to unsubscribe from your email so that they don't hit the always easy-to-find "spam" button!
No.7 Personalize Subject Lines and Email Content
With very few exceptions, emails will perform better when you use a personalization field such as first name or user name in the subject line and body of the email. The one exception is if your industry deals in private or personal information where your users may feel uncomfortable seeing their name or user name in the subject line or body of the email. Be sure to find an email marketing platform such as Comm100 that supports email personalization features. Then use them to increase both your open rate and your click-through rate.
No.8 Avoid Using CSS
As "old school" as it sounds, your email template design is unlikely to translate across multiple email service providers if you code it using CSS. Many email service providers, and Gmail in particular, strip CSS from the <body> and <head> sections of your email template. If you must use CSS to code, make it inline CSS. However, using <font> and <p> tags within your email template will produce a far more consistent design and display.
No.9 Minimize the Use of Spam Words
As you will see in the next section of this book, it will most likely be impossible for you to completely avoid using any word that has been identified as a potential spam trigger word. However, be aware when creating copy that spam filters look for particular words and will assign your email a spam score based on them. The best thing that you can do is to use those words in moderation and write copy that avoids using them at all when possible.
No.10 Always Test
While we think that it's important for you to test various email designs against each other, what we're referring to here is that you test send your emails to a smaller seed list of recipients prior to sending them to your entire list. This will ensure that you get a chance not only to make sure that your design displays appropriately across multiple email service providers but also to make sure that you're going into the inbox instead of the spam or junk folder. You can then make adjustments so that when you do you send to your main list, your email is optimized for the best results possible. Ten minutes of testing can save hours of crisis management!

Supply list
Lots of fresh flowers
Pretty ribbon
Corsage pins
Floral tape
Wedding flowers – specifically the bridal bouquet – can be a pricey line item on your wedding budget. However with a much smaller investment at your local grower plus a few Fiskars pruning tools, you can create your own bouquets and boutonnieres for your whole bridal party. Not only will it help you save a ton of money, but you will be proud of your own contribution to your special day. Florists call the bridal party's flowers "personal flowers," and these are the most important flowers of the day. Choose flowers that reflect your wedding colors. Harvest-season colors with just a touch of pink are both bold and romantic. The flowers themselves will give you lots of wedding bouquet ideas.
If you're planning to buy from a local grower, it's a good idea to place an order in advance, and to buy more than you think you'll need. Plan to pick up your blooms two days before the wedding, and make your bouquets the day before the ceremony.
Sunflower Wedding Bouquet
1. With the Fiskars PowerGear2™ Pruners cut the long stems of the sunflowers. The pruners' non-stick blade cuts through tough stems easily without hurting your hands. Start by cutting about one-third off the end of each stem. The cuts will look as neatly tailored as your wedding dress.
2. Add other blooms you like. For this bouquet, we chose pink garden zinnias, a wispy black basil, dill flowers, black-eyed susans and black carrot blooms — all perfect for the season.
3. Make the bouquet in your hand, or in a tall vase. Use three or five sunflowers: an odd number of stems look better than an even number. Add other blooms and foliage so they show both above and below the sunflowers. You can stand in front of a mirror with the bouquet in your hands to see how the flowers look as the bouquet takes shape.
4. Tie a piece of ribbon tightly around your bouquet, just under the flowers. Use the PowerGear2™ Pruners to snip off any unsightly stubs.
5. The Amplify® Serrated Hardware Shears are a great tool for this project as a whole. They are sharp enough to cut ribbon neatly, but strong enough to snip through light-gauge wire.
6. After you tie the bouquet with a piece of ribbon (or use floral tape) to hold it together while you work, wrap it tightly with wide gold ribbon, extending six or eight inches down the stems.
7. Secure the ribbon with corsage pins. Push the pins up into the stems, not straight through. Then tie a frilly pink-and-purple bow at the top of the gold ribbon, just under the flowers.
Bridesmaids bouquets
Bridesmaids' bouquets should have the same color scheme and some of the same flowers as the bride's bouquet, but these bouquets can be much smaller, light-hearted and whimsical. Our bouquets are made with six black-eyed susans, two pink zinnias, and a wispy wand or two of black basil. They're fragrant and fun and bound together with pretty pink ribbon and a shimmering gesture of gold gauze.
Boutonnieres are the tiniest bouquets of the day. Black-eyed susans, green-eyed susans, and a small accent of basil or black carrot will pick up the theme of the bride's and bridesmaids' bouquets. Remember, they don't all have to be exactly alike.
1. Make boutonnieres against the backing of a leaf. We used the dark foliage of smoke bush, but you could use an oak leaf as the substantial base for a boutonniere.
2. Wrap the small stems together with floral tape, and then cover the tape with ribbon.
3. Add a jaunty tiny bow in a contrasting color and a corsage pin.
As you make all these bouquets you'll enjoy working with the Softouch® Micro-Tip® Pruning Snip to snip off unruly leaves and to groom along stems. These tiny, super-sharp snippers are as accurate as tweezers, so you can perfect your wedding party's personal flowers before they are photographed — again and again — on a day you'll always remember.

As a .NET programmer, we should know a few important statistics of the application we are working on. This ensures that the application is consistent in nature. In an application with fewer projects it isn't difficult to get these statistics manually but in larger projects, it becomes an unproductive task, however still important. As an example, multiple team members may add new projects with varying .NET Framework versions, programming language version etc.. The initial version of this utility can help you generate these statistics in a second and in a consistent form.
Open the command prompt, go to the path where this utility executable is kept, and type Dotnetversion.exe
Press 'Enter' key.
About the application is displayed:
Press any key to continue.
Enter the Dotnet solution file path. If Solution file path is the same as a path where this utility Dotnetversion.exe file is kept simply press Enter, otherwise type the accurate path where a dotnetsolution file is kept, like D:\ABC\XYZ\ etc..
Once the solution file path is specified, the next option is to enter the Solution file name. Again, if only 1 file exists at the selected folder path simply press the 'Enter' key otherwise specify the solution file name. No need to specify the filename extension.
Once both the solution file paths and solution file names are given the stats collection processing will start. Result
As an example, I executed a sample solution on my machine and both projects are .NET Framework 4.0 based.

My 2017 MIF Study Trip experience in London
#HECMIF #HECCareers
In the third week of the MIF program (MSc International Finance), it was finally time for the highly awaited London Study Trip. Four exciting days lay ahead of me in the financial capital of Europe with company visits, conferences, networking, and touristing.
On our way to London, we traveled by the high-speed Eurostar train – 177 students in business suits and attire traveling at 300km/h across borders, almost the same speed as my HEC experience so far. The anticipation and excitement of the trip fueled the journey and I eagerly discussed the coming days with my MIF-classmate in the seat next to me. I mean, who would be able not to? After all, I had the opportunity to select among more than 40 renowned financial companies for company visits across Hedge Funds, Asset Management, Private Equity, Venture Capital, Investment Banking, Capital Markets, etc. – if you can name the company, you could visit them.
The biggest recruiters at hand
The first visit was at Amundi Asset Management, where I arrived at their wonderful office building right across the Bank of England after some questionable navigation in the Underground and suit-jogging with luggage in order to make it in time.
The presentation was very informative and I gained insight into the company and their operational procedures in a way that would be very hard to come by in any other way than direct interaction with company representatives. I soon realized how valuable these visits are and why HEC Paris invests so much in order to give us students as much as 20 hours direct exposure to premier companies during the study trip. As you can imagine, this also implied that my schedule was quite tight. Right after the visit at Amundi my fellow students and I went for a quick refueling at a Prêt à Manger shop (obviously we had to mix French and British) before attending a networking event with HEC Alumni at The Royal Society.
I was thrilled to be in the unique surroundings of one of the World's oldest 'learned societies for science' still in existence today. The event offered me the opportunity to meet and speak with HEC Alumni with very diverse backgrounds, jobs, and duration of work experience since graduating from HEC Paris.
Though the night was very interesting, I did not go back to the hotel too late as a new day was yet to come, where we had to be at 8:30 sharp at The Shard for a Fintech & Venture Capital Conference.
On the next day, following an appreciated English breakfast in the morning, I arrived together with my group at the fascinating building, The Shard, for the conference. It was quite metaphoric that we were in the tallest building in London, overlooking the financial capital of Europe while discussing the future of the very same industry. The conference was very eye-opening and challenged our view of how Finance might evolve going forward.
A variety of company presentations
Just before my next event at Macquarie, I had time to go for a proper Banker-coffee in London. In everyday life, nothing quite beats the relaxing state of enjoying a cup of coffee with great friends, so I felt lucky to enjoy this moment despite our busy schedule during the trip. The Macquarie office visit was just as exciting as I had imagined, and the opportunity to see their entire trading floor was quite a unique experience. I remember thinking that the rest of the company visits should really up their game to match the bar set for the entire trip so far – and I was not disappointed. Each of the company visits was very different from the last. E.g. at the office visit at Morgan Stanley, following Macquarie, we were presented with very interesting M&A, ECM, and DCM transaction case studies accompanied by outstanding presentations, open discussions, and networking with employees.
Even though there is a ton of other events and company visits to highlight, I want to share another experience instead – something you only really realize when you have been at HEC for some time and been on the study trip. During the four days, I gradually began to finally comprehend how amazing and exceptional the Alumni network actually is at HEC Paris. No matter which firm you attend or which networking session you find yourself in, there is always an HEC alumnus willing to go above and beyond to help you. Both professionally and personally HEC Alumni are a vital asset for your future and your experience at HEC Paris. I had the opportunity to enjoy a wonderful dinner at Jamie Oliver's restaurant Barbecoa with Alumni now working at Goldman Sachs as well as having a beer with Alumni from every corner of the world during the London Pub Crawl.
After three days with an intense program and a fourth day exploring London and all that the city has to offer during the day and at night, it was eventually time for taking the train back to Paris – yet again travelling at a speed as fast as the trip had gone by.

Food Solutions with Hello Fresh
As I enter 2018 one of my goals is to simplify. The last few years spent building my business has erased a steady routine from my life as it has required lots of travel, late nights and schedules that change on a dime. As a family man and a father of two my wife and I have been looking for ways to truly simplify so we can have normalcy within our busy lives.
Let me know if these statements sound familiar.
'What are we going to make for dinner tonight'? "Can you stop at the store on your way home?' 'We have no groceries in the house'? "I feel demotivated to cook.' "I am out of ideas".
These have all been said into our home. We used to love to cook but we realized its because we had more time. Time to think. Time to prepare. Time to create. Now our time is committed to our kids and work. As much as we try to manage our schedules, it can be difficult. It is easy to just to grab what is convienant but that is often not healthy.
In looking for solutions, I came across Hello Fresh. Every week they send you all the groceries needed to prepare your meals and the recipes on how to make it. While you still prepare the meal, you simply pull the fresh groceries out of the bag and begin to cook. Everything you need, right down to the spices and sauces are in the bag.
As I prepared my meal I actually was reminded of how much I enjoyed cooking. What I didn't enjoy in the past was the stress of meal planning and the grocery shopping. With Hello Fresh, every single ingredient I needed including fresh herbs was in the bag. It is just so easy. In the end, we sat down as a family and enjoyed our meal together. It was flavourful, healthy and fresh!
I am sincerely excited about discovering Hello Fresh as not only a solution to simplify but also feed our family healthy and delicious meals that are actually fun and easy to prepare.
Our first meal we made was the Pea and Brussels Sprouts Gnocchi. It was delicious, easy to make and as I prepared I was inspired with new ideas to cook in the future. While I love the idea of meals coming prepared, there is something very therapeutic about cooking and preparing your meals and being involved in the process. Hello Fresh allows you to cook and create but takes the hassle of preparing away. Now I can look forward to dinner and know that there will always be something amazing to eat at home!
If you are looking into a great solution for your family, check out Hello Fresh. They deliver across Canada and USA.

The Times of Israel reports: BERLIN — Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu brought back original blueprints of the Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp to Israel from Germany seven years ago, likely without knowing he was doing something illegal, according to a German journalist.
The blueprints were given to Netanyahu on a trip to Germany, according to Kai Diekmann.
Diekmann, the former chief editor of Bild Zeitung, Germany's most-read daily, said the German Federal Archives and Ministry of Interior wanted to hold on to the historical documents, which were drawn by an Auschwitz prisoner and include the signature of Heinrich Himmler. But Diekmann thought they belonged in Yad Vashem and presented them to Netanyahu in August 2009 in Berlin.
The blueprints are now in the archives at Yad Vashem, the Jerusalem-based Holocaust memorial.
Netanyahu could not have been prosecuted for simply accepting the gift and bringing it home, Diekmann said.
