How to Start a Blog
So you want to start a blog? Blogging is the best! I'll get into how you can start a blog in just a minute but first I want to share my story with you! After my story this series will teach you:
How to start a blog from nothing, you don't even need to know what you are doing.
How to choose & Install a theme.
How to create your own logo (trust me you don't need any design skills)
How to install plug-ins for free, & i'll tell you the only ones you need.
This post contains affiliate links for Bluehost.
Just two and a half years ago I was in your shoes. I was seeing bloggers on Pinterest share that they make $20,000+ per month. I wanted more than anything to be one of those full-time bloggers. Here is how I started blogging
In July 2015 my husband & I got married. He worked from home and when we got married I thought would mean that we could just travel all the time.
I must have forgotten you can't just take 4 months of paid vacation a year. (at least not where I was working)
So I began using Pinterest to try and find a way to make money from home so we could travel, and maybe also pay down our debt.
I came across people saying "Take Surveys" or "Transcribe Audio" or "Freelance Write" so I tried it all….
I kid you not when I say after working for a month on all the above things I had made like $9.
I mean great thats $9 extra dollars but that would buy me like two Starbucks coffees, not allow me to live out my blogger dreams of working from home.
But while I was looking for ways to make money on Pinterest I started to come across pins like '"How I Made $20,000" Last Month Blogging" and after seeing them for months in May 2016 I decided to bite the bullet and invest the $70.
I thought the day after I started my blog I would make $300, and to my surprise I couldn't even figure out how to install a theme, get people to my website or install plug-ins.
I got so frustrated that those bloggers who were like "I make $20k per month blogging, you should try it" didn't actually help you at all.
So I promised myself that If I ever actually figured out how to have a profitable blog I would help other people like myself who wanted to find a way to make money from home.
After weeks of research! (I mean like 10 hours a day) I finally figured out how to make money blogging. Just under 6 months after implementing that strategy I was able to quit my job and blog full-time.
And because I promised myself that if I figured out how to blog, and make money blogging I would teach other people how they could actually make money blogging too, here is how you can start a profitable blog in under 20 minutes, get 60% off the normal price, and get a free .com!
Now I have been blogging full-time since February 1st, 2017 (Over two years!)
You can do this! and if you need any help along the way click my contact button above.
In this post, I am going to teach you guys how to start your own blog using WordPress and self-hosting through Bluehost. Don't worry you don't need any blogging knowledge I am going to walk you through everything step-by-step. The reason this is how I am going to teach you how to start a blog is for a few reasons.
It gives you a 60% off the normal cost of starting a blog any other way.
It allows you to get your own .com for free without having to know how to code, or a bunch of techie stuff.
It allows you to have a platform you can just jump into right away, it won't be months before you can start posting, and earning money.
>> In this post the links throughout allow you to get hosting at a discounted rate (60% off), and a free domain name!
I reached out to Bluehost and asked them if they could do a better deal for my audience. They politely agreed and said that they would. I reached out to them because this is how I started my blog and the way I believe is the best way to start it because it is affordable, and so user friendly.

You will need an idea. If you don't have an idea about what you want to blog about hit the contact button in the menu and we can talk about it I would love to help you.
You will need this page saved, you could probably complete this whole process in one sitting, but this is only part of a four-part series and each part is helpful. I recommend saving this series on your bookmarks, or on Pinterest because you may get confused in the future and need to come back.
A computer you could probably do this from a phone or tablet but it would be very hard and very time-consuming.
Money for hosting depending on your plan, or how long you to purchase your blog for your looking at about $59-106 for 1 to 3 years of hosting, and a .com domain name.
A goal: the goal to make blogging your part or full-time job.

Don't worry about losing this blog post if you're Interested in 30 Days to Blog Success, in the first video of the course I tell you how to Start a Blog! So feel free to click the link above.
side note: DON'T LET YOUR MIND GET THE BEST OF YOU
When I taylorstanford.com I was hesitant to invest the $71.40 it took me then to create this blog, because that Is a lot of money (especially for a poor newlywed like I was) and I had no idea If I would ever get it back. My blog hasn't failed it has become a full-time job.
And just like I didn't fail I know you won't fail! just to make sure:
I MADE YOU SOMETHING: I created a FREE ( did I mention it's free?) 6 Day email course which will teach you step-by-step how to set up a blog, install your theme, make a logo, and create monetized content. It will completely kick-start your blogging success.
It is much like this blog post, but it gets sent straight to your email so you won't lose it and you can come back to it anytime.
So if you want to start a blog right now today follow this blog post you are reading
but if you want to start a blog maybe tomorrow, or this weekend follow the email course here is what it goes over:
Day 1: How to choose a name, and blog topics.
Day 2: How to start a blog & install the design of your choice.
Day 3: Planning out your content.
Day 4: Monetizing your website as a beginner.
Day 5: Increasing your website's traffic to make more money.
Day 6: Wrap up & Guide to follow for the future to maximize profit.
Time to decide what you want your blog to be called so you can pick out your .com! What should you call your blog? It is totally up to you and what you plan to talk about but I just had a few tips.
Side note: I recommend getting a .com not a .net or .co just because it looks more professional and it is easier to remember.
Keep it short. This makes getting social media accounts for your blog much easier since they have character limits.
Keep it simple. This makes it easier for viewers to remember.
Keep it true to you. By this I mean to keep it true to what your blog is going to be about. No one is going to take a food blog called "bestvacays.com" seriously or remember it
Make sure its not the name of something else. You can check this by searching the name you want on google.
Keep it professional. You want this to be a business so you don't want a name people won't take seriously like chugdaddy.com the travel blog.
Make sure it is available. You can do this by filling in the box below and clicking "check availability"
Since you just decided what you wanted to call your blog lets get it started.

PRINCE Harry's ex has posted a cryptic post on Instagram just one day after he announced he was marrying Meghan Markle.
Cressida Bonas, who split from the royal in 2014, shared an image of two people on swings reaching out to each other.
The post said: "No matter how educated, talented, rich or cool you believe you are, how you treat people ultimately tells it all."
Cressida, 28, who regularly posts inspiring quotes on Instgram, captioned the picture "truth", followed by the hashtag "#quotestoliveby".
The post comes just 24 hours after Harry, 33, announced to the world he had proposed to 36-year-old American actress Meghan.
The smitten prince got down on one knee a month ago while the pair were cooking a roast chicken in Nottingham Cottage in Kensington Palace.
They have now confirmed the spring wedding will take place in May at Windsor Castle.
Socialite Cressida dated Harry for two years but they split in 2014 after rumours swirled the pair were going to get engaged.
A year later, there was speculation the pair were back together but it was never confirmed.
Tulip Fever actress Cressida has previously dated Harry Wentworth-Stanley, whose stepdad is the Queen's cousin.
She is also pals with Harry's cousin, Princess Eugenie, who introduced Cressida to the prince in 2012.
Her mum is renowned Sixties It girl Lady Mary Gaye Curzon, while her dad Jeffrey Bonas owns a fabric company.
Cressida recently appeared in teaser images for James Arthur's music video for Naked where she wears a bridal-style lace dress.

National campaign launched by Women in Super/
National advocacy and networking group Women in Super has called on the government to boost the superannuation accounts of low income earners to address the growing number of women who are retiring in poverty.
National chair, Cate Wood, spoke at the launch of the group's Make Super Fair campaign, and urged the immediate implementation of the policy nationwide, which would provide superannuation contributions of $1,000 annually to low income earners. Wood also wants to remove the $450 monthly income threshold on super contributions that see over 220,000 women per year miss out on super, for the super guarantee to be raised to 12 per cent, and for super to be paid during parental leave.
Wood said, 'We must do better than a system that sees women retiring with 47 per cent less than men. This is a crisis, and unless we act now we will be leaving a tragic legacy for younger women, and it is not fair or reasonable to simply tell women to fix the problem themselves. We need to get the basics right.'
According to the current estimates, women retire with an average of $85,000 or 47 per cent less super than men and more than 40 per cent of older single women live in poverty.
Under the Women in Super plan, women aged 25 who earn $25,000 a year would see their super balance increase by 14.7 per cent or $30,137 by retirement.
Women aged 25 with fragmented paid work who earn $35,000 a year would see their balance increase by $27,555 or 11.7 per cent at retirement.
Under the plan both male and female low-income earners would be eligible for the payment until their super balance reached $100,000.
The estimated additional annual government super contribution would cost the government $2.7 billion dollars per year.
Women in Super noted that approximately $30 billion is spent by the government on super tax concessions annually, the majority of which are paid to high income earners.

[Jak07a] Latent variable transformation using monotonic B-splines in PLS path modelingConférences Internationales sans actes : IASC'07 University of Aveiro, Portugal, Aveiro, Portugal,
Mots clés: B-splines, PLS path modeling, latent variable, satisfaction
Résumé: PLS Path Modeling is a widely used approach in marketing. However in that field, relationships between latent variables are frequently nonlinear. This nonlinearity is usually defined by a piecewise linear function. In this talk, we present a way to include non linear transformations of the latent variables in the PLS path modeling algorithm with monotonic B-splines. We use optimal scaling methods to obtain an optimal transformation of the latent variables explaining a target latent variable. Applications on customer satisfaction data and on simulated data are presented.

As our trading environments become increasingly uncertain and complex, our natural response is to try and go faster to keep up with the rate of change around us. "I'm Busy" becomes the new "I'm fine". When we no longer have the luxury of operating in commercial environments that are easily identified, understood, and able to be controlled, the old paradigm of command, control, time management and planning becomes inadequate. PACE based leadership focuses on four new leadership practices which enable leaders to have higher impact in complex commercial systems: to nurture the capacity for Play and thus be comfortable with things in a state of emergence, grow Adaptability and thus learn how to be equipped to change course mid-direction, build Curiosity as a way to prevent flawed commercial acumen and dogmatism and have the Energy to drive growth and expansion. PACE based leadership thus builds easier adaptation to change, helps us to manage our risk and reframes our thinking, helps us to build the focus to get things done and ensures that there is not an over investment in one solution.
Leading with PACE - Better Business without the Burnout
How does one do more with less? How does one run a business which can create a better business impact without increasing the burnout of ones employees and one's self?"
There is a new model for leadership which addresses these things. It is called PACE based leadership. Its philosophical underpinnings are grounded in four new leadership practices which take into account the need to create greater traction with less resources. Leading with PACE focuses on Play, Agility, Curiosity and Energy to achieve this.
This masterclass has been designed for organisations looking to generate a more meaningful impact through less resources, and to gain more traction through a more fulfilling way of leading and doing
Leaders must be equipped for the changes and strategic innovations that they are often required to think and lead through. Leading at PACE is crucial for achieving these goals and a necessary fundament on which to build strategic innovation and astute commercial acumen for implementable solutions. This workshop is aimed specifically at leaders wanting to develop their impact by being able to be equipped to operate effectively in complex and uncertain commercial environments.
This workshop is aimed at those wanting to develop their impact as leaders by understanding and being able to implement PACE based practices as a sustainable leadership advantage.
This workshop has a strong focus on practical application. Utilising a series of experiential learning techniques like LEGO Serious Play, construction and prototyping, play, and dialogue the process helps leaders to grapple with and immerse themselves in the practices of PACE based leadership.
> Reframe Thinking
> Practise Leading at PACE as a mindset
> Build a PACE-based Leadership Practice
> Grapple with a strategic challenge
> Attention Audit

This month, in the run-up to the preliminary elections on September 12th, the Quincy Dems blog is featuring a series of profiles of the Democratic candidates for the Councillor At-Large positions. To give voters a better sense of who the candidates are and what their visions are for the city of Quincy, we sent a questionnaire to each candidate in which we asked them to help us craft a portrait of who they are as both candidates and residents of Quincy. We will be publishing these profiles as we receive responses from each of the candidates.
Quincy School Committee member, Anne Mahoney, is a Democrat running for one of the three Councillor At-Large positions in Quincy. Mahoney, who grew up in Quincy and attended Quincy public schools, is running because "I believe in the city of Quincy." Mahoney's Quincy roots run deep: her father, Joseph Mulligan, grew up in Quincy, and when she and her husband, Kevin, chose their first home, they made the choice to live in Quincy. "I felt honored and fortunate that it was my great-grandparents' home right down the street from my parents who still live in the house my dad grew up in," she says. She and her husband have raised their three children, Maggie, Liam, and Rory, in the city and are proud of the excellent education that Quincy's public schools have given them. For Mahoney, Quincy is clearly more than just an address -- it is a part of who she is.
In running for Councillor At-Large, Mahoney wants to provide representation for the people she considers her neighbors and her community. "People want representation in our city," she says. "They want their councillors to hold developers accountable, they want their government to be efficient, and they want their representatives to be trustworthy." Mahoney promises that, if elected, she will not become a "rubber stamp" for any proposal that comes through the City Council. "[The people of Quincy] want accountability and they want to believe that the people they elect into office are working for their best interest, their neighbors best interest and for the city as a whole," she says. "I am that independent voice and I hope to represent them on the Council."
One of Mahoney's goals as Councillor At-Large is to work alongside Quincy's residents to help plan for the future. "The fact is," she notes, "if we want Quincy to be great we need our residents to believe in the direction we are guiding it in." There are several issues that Mahoney sees facing the city -- such as rising taxes, overdevelopment, traffic, lack of a clear economic plan, and a need for government transparency -- and she believes that the city's health depends on its residents having faith in the people they elected to manage it. For fifteen years Mahoney operated a small business in Quincy with her husband, Kevin, called Cyclone Design. Mahoney now works as a project marketing manager in a private company outside of Quincy, a position which she argues allows her to make decisions for the city that won't be compromised by any perceived conflicts of interest. "I feel this gives me a better perspective and connection with the people we are chosen to represent," she says.
Mahoney, who, in addition to her experience as a marketing manager, has a degree in finance from Suffolk University, argues that the city would benefit from her focused combination of marketing and finance skills. "I know how to market our city. I know how to analyze a budget," she says. "I know how to create efficiencies and how to prioritize projects so they not only meet the needs and expectations of set goals but they are also on time and in budget." She believes that Quincy's residents need the portfolio of skills that she will bring to the city.
In addition to running for Councillor At-Large, Mahoney has served for the past twelve years as a member of the Quincy School Committee. "I have been a strong advocate for parents and the taxpayers in the City of Quincy," she says. "I have a proven track record of asking important questions and demanding answers that provide better solutions and policies for our city."
Mahoney is particularly proud to be a Democrat, and she believes that empathy towards others is a cornerstone of the Quincy Democratic Party, which she currently serves as the Vice-President of the Quincy Democratic City Committee. "Being a Democrat in Quincy means celebrating our rich history and ensuring we recognize and celebrate our diversity so we can truly move this city forward," she says. "It means coming together to help one another in times of tragedy as well as celebration." She credits her support for the working men and women in part to her own childhood growing up in a strong union household. "I was taught at a young age that to make things better, you must be involved and take a stand when you see things are wrong and/or people are not being treated fairly," she says. Mahoney sees being a Democrat as a core part of her belief that, "while we may not all be the same, we are stronger together."
Being a Democrat, Mahoney argues, is about courage. To Mahoney, courage as a Democrat means respecting the courageous sacrifices veterans make for our country, as well as having the personal courage to honestly evaluate and engage in the issues facing Quincy, the state, and the nation. "Maybe most of all," she says, "it means having the courage to take a stand, and vote independently when it's not always the popular thing to do ... but it's the right thing to do."
In our questionnaires, we asked each candidate how we, as Democrats, can help them in their candidacy. To conclude these profiles, we'll end with each candidate's response to that question. Here is Anne Mahoney's:
My campaign for Councillor-At-Large is a grass roots campaign. We need you to talk to your family, friends and neighbors. You can share your thoughts and support on social media, at the coffee shop, the gym, the grocery story, and the park. Your conversations bring a level of civic responsibly back to the voter by encouraging people to be involved
I believe I have the right combination of skills, experience and determination to truly represent you, and if you believe as I do – that Quincy needs better representation – then I respectfully ask for 1 of your 3 votes on September 12th and on November 7th for City Councillor-at-Large. Other ways you can help are to volunteer on VoteMahoney.com.
You can also provide support by putting a sticker on your car, placing a sign on your lawn, calling a friend, and having conversations on social media. You can also help me at the polls on election day. All of these small things add up and help a fellow proud democrat build momentum for her campaign.
To learn more about Anne Mahoney, or to get in touch with her campaign, you can send her an email, visit her website, or check her out on Facebook or Twitter (@AnneMahoney).

Helen Yemm: clematis pruning without fear, put grass clippings to work, a sickly weeping fig
Jane Thornbury is bothered by a messy, un-named clematis that she has been too frightened to touch. It bears large purple flowers in May and a few more in autumn. The following slimmed-down clematis pruning pointers may help her and anyone else (I know you are out there…) who is confused.
It is important to observe, as Jane has done, when your clematis flowers. Broadly speaking, clematis fall into one of three groups: Group One consists of spring-flowering clematis (such as vigorous C. montana, the dainty macropetalas, and evergreens cirrhosa and armandii). These may only need to be pruned (immediately after flowering) every few years if they become unwieldy.
Group Two is the...

Toronto police cruiser hits female pedestrian in East york
Feb 2, 2010 ---A female pedestrian is suffering injuries that aren't believed to be life-threatening after being struck by a Toronto police vehicle on Tuesday evening.
The collision occurred at about 10 p.m. just outside the Toronto East General Hospital, near Coxwell and Mortimer Avenues.
Coxwell Avenue is closed between Mortimer Avenue and Sammon Avenue while police investigate.
Traffic Services tells CP24 that the Special Investigations Unit may be called in to investigate the crash if the woman is found to have any broken bones.
during the police blitz ohh the irony.. luckly the lady sounds like she is fine also a good thing the accident happened right outside of the hospital *th-up* . coxwell ave between salmon ave and Mortimer ave is still closed. i bet they are going to rub it off by saying well you were j walking ect. lets see how they rule it.
news just reported that she infact wasnt crossing at the lights and it was an un marked cruiser.
ahaha, I live right here, on coxwell and danforth. Coxwell and Mortimer is less than 5 minutes away....I can attest to people randomly crossing the streets here. There are some wackjobs, lemme tell ya....
cool im 1 block north of mortimer same street where that hydro substation blew up by the civic center last winter
she got had~! hopefully she's all good
The blitz is to stop pedestrians j-walking, not motorists driving their cars.... If anything - and since she was j-walking - you realize the implications this has??
This adds FUEL To the police fire crack down..
I say, if youre stupid enough to j-walk and get hit, you deserve what you get. You took the risk when you j-walked. Im not saying motorists should SPEED up to hit you, but at the same time, you should look both ways.
First off, let's hope she'll be okay.
Yesterday night I couldn't believe my eyes when a senior saw me approaching and she gunned it (with walking stick and all) across the street in front of me as I was approaching a stop sign. WTF, she must have a death wish. There was a light dusting of snow on the ground too. I obviously slowed down, but I admit that she was tough to spot.
She gave me a little smile when I passed her and I gave her a thumbs up for making it across the street without getting run over.
I kid you not, the stop sign was less than 50ft away. Some people just don't think.
I shook my head and just followed her.

I know I am a little late for the well wishes, but I have been thoroughly enjoying my holiday. By enjoying, I mean laying in bed, using my new coffee maker to get me out of it, then baking and cooking all the day long. It is so sad that this wonderful vacation will soon be ending. I suppose I can relive it by a quick recap.
We drove from sun up till sun down (literally!) two weeks ago to visit my family in the best state there is. I really did miss it! What a difference you can see though, when driving north. From lush green grass that enjoys the belated winter to dead white grass and stark naked trees! Ironically it was gloomy and gray our first few days there, but that's ok! We stayed for Christmas and it was great spending time with my grandparents, mom, and brother. Incase you were wondering, I got everything I wanted for christmas ;). We left and headed south on Dec 30 and actually got back earlier than I anticipated, despite the heavier traffic (I think it was my strategic speeding). We brought in the New Year by my husband waking me up twice in a ten minute time span to give me my New Years kiss. I am getting old!!
For christmas I received a baking stone from my mom, and I must suggest everyone invest. It made a huge difference for the frozen pizza we bought the day we returned (poor broke us). Also, my husband commented that it made my fresh baked french bread better, but I may have been jadeed on that because the bread went flat when I tried to pick it up and put it on the preheated stone…I bet it will make pita bread delicious!
Also, my brother bought me some fancy-schmancy markers that are supposed to be similar to copic (these are called spectrum noir). I will post my first attempt at using those bad boys separately.
In other news, on this gloomy, rainy, horrendous day that should only be spent under a blanket, I must drag myself to the University to sign my letter of assignment. Basically, it is stating that I understand my scholarship and will stay here and do my TA work fror the semester (or they can make me pay back the money). I find it very frustrating that my advisor got a hold of these letters the day I left for vacation. Coincidence? Probably. I need to go to the office and fix an error in my schedule before tomorrow anyway. The new semester starts on the 6th and I am quite anxious…

As the amount of baby boomers retiring is growing and more and more millennials are branching out creating a new way of life, escaping the traditional trend of passing furniture and heirlooms from generation to generation – the question arises – what to do with all of this stuff?
Our society as a whole is in a lifestyle shift and although the idea of not hoarding multiple tables and sets of china is not a typical concern of people in their 50s and above, the younger generation is creating an influx of storage units and their desire to be utilized on a fast whim. The reality is the younger generation is choosing to live more freely and not be bound by stuff. This presents a question as you get ready to move your parents into assisted living or determining what to do with your parents furnishings as they choose to downsize. Do you choose to get a storage unit or not?
Storage units were originally designed to be used as a temporary means to "store" items between moves or for shorter periods of time. For many families the months and sometimes years of storage payments made almost don't make sense when it comes to comparing the value of items being stored with the cost of long time storage.
If you are in the process of building a custom home, you may want to consider building a storage space within your garage area, added expandable bonus space in attic areas within your home or a detached storage unit. The cost of long term storage units can be just that – costly! So instead of throwing money away, plan your home design to include potential storage space for items you may encounter.
The multi-generational way of life is a reality these days, three generations of families living among each other at different stages of their lives and this situation can incur a reason to store practical items.
Before you choose to use a storage unit or determine if adding storage space to your floor plan is practical ask yourself these questions:
- Do you need all of the items you are wanting to store?
- How long do you intend to store these items?
- Do these items need to be in conditioned storage space?
- Do you have a plan to retrieve the items out of storage?
The last thing you want to experience is paying for a storage unit for a lengthy period only to discover you really didn't need the items or uncover the items were damaged due to not being in conditioned space, as is the case with artwork or invasive animals nesting in your stored items. The other reality you do not want to face is realizing 2 years of payments has gone by and you still don't have a plan to recover your stored items. Take time to review your options and surely your decision to store or not store will meet your expectations and not put a dent in your budget. To discuss storage options you may want to consider for your new custom built home, visit us at AmericasHomePlace.com

Quercus polymorpha
This photo shows foliage of a young Monterey Oak (Q. polymorpha) growing at Stanford. Monterey Oak is semi-evergreen, and here it is seen transitioning between winter and spring, with lovely pink red new growth. Monterey Oak has performed adequately at several locations at Stanford over the last decade, but not well enough to recommend widespread use. Monterey Oak grows in a fairly wet part of northern Mexico, and wants a bit more moisture than most of California can provide for best growth. In the Bay Area climate, which is quite a bit cooler than than Monterey, Mexico, the trees looks a bit unsightly in the winter, as they haphazardly color and shed leaves.

"I have the honour of being a member of the Les Brown Maximum Achievement Team. I could not wish for a more acclaimed mentor than Les Brown who has inspired me and changed my life since the first day I heard him speak. Now I have the opportunity to inspire, motivate and change other people's lives and heal their pain. I can relate and I can help them to achieve their dreams."
" I have always been open & honest in admitting that I didn't have the best start in life. But I have always known that I'm funny! Being able to make light of a bad situation was something I did to heal the pain. Make a joke out of it and it wont hurt so much! But I was good at it. I could make people laugh and for the first time in my life, I had found something that started to define me."
" I am a Christian Actor. I say this proudly and with confidence. This is the journey that I believe will allow me to share my story through acting and with my faith in God .....
My name is Jon Nicolas and by no means did my life come by easy to live . I was born to a mother who didn't want me and a father who wasn't there. I mean...who wouldn't want a handsome bald headed child? I'm just kidding, I wasn't always bald headed and when I say a father who wasn't there, I mean I couldn't find this man, he must of took off before the doctor said "It's a boy." I was one of those kind of kids that society thought would turn out to live a life of crime, because I was abused mentally and physically. I have experienced pain longer than I would of wanted for anyone, however it's because of the pain that I've experienced through my life that has lead me to the man that I am today. I took my humorous outlook on life and my faith in God to mold me to the Motivational Comedian I am today. I have a certain set of skills that can motivate and inspire anyone who is stuck, because of their pain not achieving the things in life they want most. I've learned to develop a way to laugh through the pain, all while healing myself. I have a genuine love for people and don't like to know of anyone not achieving and being successful in life because of pain and the way life makes you feel guilty and unworthy of going on . Because of my child hood and the traumatic experiences I've endured it lead me to a life of inspiration. Mark Twain said "The two most important days in your life are the day you were born and the day you find out why." I believe I was born to help others see the greater and funnier side to their problems and teach them to develop a strength from deep within that they lost along the way of life's trials so that they too can live a purposeful life and achieve everything that they've ever wanted that's good. I've been trained by the world's leading motivational speaker Mr. Les Brown, So whether you are a Dean of a University who wants to motivate and inspire your millennial students or The Principal to a school who wishes to remind your students of how great they are or whether you are a CEO of a company who wants to drive your sales by inspiring your employees to achieve the highest level of self productivity, consider me Jon Nicolas The Motivational Comedian .

It was one of those childhood Sundays when my grandmother would ask my father to wake me up for the mass. A few minutes later there I was trying to stand straight while wiping my gound and groping my way to the bathroom, detached from the house, in a foggy morning. Struggle! But the thought of buying an amulet at the Square Park and an extra peso would instantly put my mood to hurry up. Grandma hated waiting for that kind of event.
On Saturdays, the penultimate scenario, would be heading to the river to bring Nana her packed lunch and help her out with the voluminous laundry items. Weekdays were, of course, spent at school and its gardens and playgrounds. I was fortunate I had reared my primary and secondary education in the rural community. I now fully understand why I am quite drawn to appreciating small, reachable things around me especially nature's bounties such as the trees, flowers, bees, and the like.

Sunset has always been my favorite nature feat…it still is…until I stumbled upon her twin. This is now my version of "standard deviation". Never liked Mathematics but that in statistics. For a moment, I kind of articulated it albeit literally—when I was watching the dawn breaks into a beautiful sunrise. Allow me to profess that sunrise is beyond question a great feat of nature. This is that time of the day when the sky is painted in incredible, subtle colors that can surely captivate all optical organs out there as they take the center stage—when the day slowly gets brighter; how the breathtaking colors start to seep through. Being able to witness such scene gives a visceral punch in my writing mojo. #creatingsomethingbeautifuloutofthemundane #travelnotes #storiesofthewanderingfeetandmind #ontheloose #weekendwonder #sunrise #goldenhour #sunrise_sunset_photogroup #nofilter #sunrise_and_sunsets #sunriselovers
Those were the thoughts running through my head as we were entering the vicinity of Cabagan Public Market after 11 hours of being on the highway, and the ever stunning scenery show at the crack of dawn somewhere down that road.
The market, like the rest of what I stepped on and saw during younger years, is in my heart. It was not really chocolates or apples that put me on cloud nine during that particular period but the pair of binalay that I feasted on during Lent and the slice of rice cake Nana and Immo handed to me on market days. The joy my heart shouted for that was unparalleled. My heart still leaps at the very hint of it.

Equivalent to winning the lottery: my forever and first comfort food—binalay! Binalay is an original delicacy from my hometown, Cabagan. It is made of a glutinous rice and water dough wrapped in banana leaves steamed for hours. Peeling it would take a few minutes as the rice is extra sticky. When being served, it must be paired with a coconut curd sauce. Mabbalo, Aunties (Sally, Alma, and, of course sa nagluto, Luming)! 😍🤩 Special mention to Ino Beling who, when I was younger, always see to it that I got extra binalay. Dahil ako pinakamalakas kumain nito! #metaphors #originalfoodfrommyhometown #binalay #localdelicacy #foodporn
When our vehicle turned to the left to enter the town, the welcome arch shone like it was the first time I saw it. The laughter and the cries from the old book resonated across my heart. It has been a decade, I exclaimed. I never had that feeling of joy and sadness crashing together at the same time in that intensity level. It was overwhelming. It was happiness. It was sadness. It was very strange. It was very familiar.
I grew up in this town. I left it behind to pursue further education in the early aughts. I was able to come back on a regular basis for a time until I worked overseas and built a family far from it. I got caught in the middle…I had to choose one; I ended up abandoning the plan of visiting the base after three attempts since 2008.
It took so long for me to realize being able to set foot on my hometown again, even if it was just for a day and a half with my parents, the eldest, and the fifth and his wife, three months ago. The second, the sixth, and the seventh did not come because of their equally important engagements. I am forever grateful to the adamant pusher of the action and the "second" for lending me her car for the entire trip.
Feeling the clement heat of the sun of that Saturday morning was surreal. I still could not believe that it has been ten years since I moved away. I could actually see that so many things have changed in it but I could still feel the old things pulsating in the background. There goes a mall on the right side and a prominent bank on the other. A lot of other commercial buildings are flaunting. The smell of the air was different; it has become like a mildly stagnant pool until I got farther from the market area and saw the old, gigantic acacia trees at the Square Park.
The colorful carousel in it did not escape my notice. It filled my heart with so much joy out of the blue that I wanted to immediately hop on one of the horses.
From there, the air rushed from the open window, fresh and clean. I could not help breathing it in—an instant trophic smell. A few minutes later, the demarcated neighborhood's hall came into sight, now completely roofed and beautifully painted. The simple houses along the road have become grand giving a western subdivision atmosphere. I could easily tell the foreign remittances have something to do with the obvious architectural improvement. The backroad had been paved and so many trees have grown, enough to cool the prevailing temperature down. It still feels a lot nicer here whenever the wind blows compared to the bustling city's burning climate.
Shortly, we were all busy exchanging hellos at the clan's compound. Finally, the reunion with uncles, aunties, nieces, nephews, cousins, and Grandma was taking place. Grandma, in spite of her bedridden state and who could barely recognize us anymore, still managed to give welcoming gestures with a slurred voice. She was actually one of the reasons why I had to come home. She had visited me several times in a dream since I was working overseas.
Once again, the ancestral home was in commotion after years; it caused quite a stir in the neighborhood but in a good way of course, especially when we were having lunch. It felt awesome to have gormandized the staple foods I and the family ate sometime ago: tuyo, dinengdeng, and carabao stew to name a few. I only get to eat them once in a blue moon since moving away.
I dozed off upon lying on the classic butaka on my aunt's terrace. The rustic, summer zephyr was a jiffy sleeping pill. I roamed around aimlessly in a dream. I sauntered through my place and looked closely at how the things and people have changed. Somehow, it made me feel like I am an odd mix between a local and a tourist. There were no demolished buildings or houses around—only renovated—yet I still got lost all the more when I could not see the faces from the old picture frame in my head. It seemed everyone was a stranger but my relatives. The familiar landmarks such as the bahay kubo along the road leading to the river and the old, gigantic camachile on the threshold of the field, where we used to catch grasshoppers for food and fly kites at, was nowhere to be seen. They used to guide me from my childhood and teenage wanderings. The images I was trying to recreate could not completely get through because of the new, confusing elements in it.

I woke up at around 3:00 PM, went straight to the kitchen for some comfort snacks, and asked my brother to accompany me to my high school alma mater. The soft summer breeze heralded our arrival upon entering the school premises. I decided to park at the Oval that stood as a primary witness to so many important events in my high school life. I walked down memory lane amid the dilapidated and dejected buildings and the very stage at the Oval for half an hour. Trees and grasses have now swarmed all over place; howbeit, I was convivial with what I saw: the two tactical inspections, naked jogging, mouth-to-mouth candy hazing, use of real guns for drills, late-night lectures, crazy dances, snake rolls, duck walks, mind-boggling SOPs, games, JS promenades, period of so many first tastes, and the comforting feeling of youthful certainty.

Isabela State University's one and only "The Oval"…This was the place where we had our preparations for Cadet/Cadette Officers Leadeship Training and Citizen Army Training's final presentation…so many "tactical" memories… #hometown #almamater #trainingmemories #green #nature #landmark #trainingground #cabagan #isabela #may2018
I can now clearly say that I enjoyed high school more than I hated it. I must say I did it right as well because, clearly, l have so many potent memories that make me surely laugh out of nowhere the minute they pop into my head at any rate. Subsequently, I invited the clan for a light meal at the nearby noodle house, Zein's Panciteria—highly recommended if you want to taste the best of the famous "Pancit Cabagan".

The ebullient laughter and conversation in a heartbeat are two of the things I can never capture through photographs. Nonetheless, I could always record them in my mind.
The outset of the gloaming later prompted us to leave and drive to my favorite place: the river. When I landed my feet on the prairie right next to the bank, I felt instantly healed though I was not ill. I never saw this place that beautiful until that day. Such that it got us all hooked up to a time when darkness descended.
There was just pure savoring of the vast landscape of beautifully shaped farmlands teeming with hopeful sprouts, the serenity of water that seem to flow into eternity, and the distant fiery horizon in the background that added so much drama.
I always feel at peace whenever I hear the river gurgling or the wind sighing gently. My transitory stay right here was absolutely divine.

Nature has always been a superb healing place.

At night, my cousins brought a case of beer. I could not believe the kids I was looking after during freshmen year were now drinking with me. The night unfolded in the reminiscence of our childhood's unassuming simplicity—playing with toy guns and cars; little horseplays; conversations that lasted until midnight during summer vacations; traditional games such as patintero, trumpo, yoyo, etc. It really felt good sharing bottles and catching up with them. It has been years since we were together. For a moment, it was as if home had remained frozen then I realized while gazing at my last brew…those are simply memories of a different era that can never be brought back anymore. Quite saddening…At the very least, they are still the reasons why I always have something to go back to.
I crashed to bed before 3:00 AM, with my mind still wandering into the realms of the world I used to live in. A couple of hours later, I went back to the river to catch the sunrise then bid farewell to the relatives. We were on the road again thereafter to head down to the main city. I had to catch my bus reservation in the evening for a trip to the South.
It was not my turn to drive so I spent some time reflecting on that quite a short visit. This return has brought up so many mixed feelings. I came back primarily to fulfill that longing in my heart to see my relatives, particularly Grandma, and the town. However, the last activity made me feel like it was more of a friendly reunion. Our conversations were based on the past when life was simpler and carefree until we ran out of old stories and memories to tell. Consequently, I was left there hanging and, at some point, feeling like an outsider. Those few hours of conversation revealed that there was much I could not relate to or understand anymore. It was a sad feeling, really. I may have appeared the same to them but there is just a part of me that is no longer there.
I am no globetrotter but my countable travel experiences and being an overseas worker since 2012 have drastically changed my perspective. The new places I have been to, the new languages I have tried to learn, the new cultures I have immersed in as well as the challenges I have overcome, brought out different ways of how I think and act.
In retrospect, I have now outgrown living in that zone. My aspirations were no longer in the same shape and I now long for the excitement, mobility, and pace of the city. Do not get me wrong, Cabagan will always be my hometown; my first home; the place where I had my first and only ear piercing, but this visit after a decade taught me that the idea of home transcends conventional wisdom.
When the initial stories, hugs, kisses, and/or reunions from a visit dissipate, we may find that coming home is not really coming home but paying a visit. Well, in my case, it was a visit to begin with. The digital world encourages us to explore and build a career outside the comfort zone where our grounds are borderless and our true home is being surrounded by the unknown and living in the moment.
Yes, our hometown will always be the place we grew up in; a big influence in creating the person we are today; and will always be home because it is where our family, friends, comfort, or stuff is but the new and bigger opportunities, adventures, lessons, discoveries, places, cultures, even languages the borderless world offers are equally imperative for our modern survival.

For veterans living within or near tribal communities, it can sometimes be difficult to receive representation for Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) benefit claims. VA has tried to help with this through a rule change in the Code of Federal Regulations (38 CFR 14.628). This change will allow eligible tribal organizations to become accredited by VA. It is believed that accredited tribal organizations can provide Veterans with better, more culturally competent services. VA invites all interested tribal organizations to consider beginning the process of becoming a VSO. For more information, read the VA VAntage Point Blog and visit the VA website.

How to Boost Your Immune System This Fall
Written by: Andrea Hop, Health Coach
Our body is designed to fight diseases on its own. Our immune system kills certain bacteria in our body and works against things that may cause us illness. If the immune system gets weak or stops working, the body becomes susceptible to diseases. The immune system gets weak if we don't take proper care of ourselves. There are many natural ways to boost your immune system and reduce the amount and type of medications you need to take. Taking too much medicine may cause your body to react negatively. It's better to rely on natural remedies to stay healthy.
1. Get enough sleep:
You may have noticed that if you don't sleep properly or enough, you are more likely to catch the flu, a cold, or other illness. Studies have shown that people who sleep 7 to 9 hours a night are less likely to get colds, and the medicines they do take work more quickly and effectively than for those who don't sleep well or long enough. Shoot for 7-9 hours of zzzzz's a night and add a little more when you are fighting something.
2. Exercise more:
Exercise benefits nearly everything about your body, both inside and out. But exercising isn't always that easy, especially for people who have to start from the ground up. If you keep exercising you will start to feel a change in your body. You will start liking it and it will become a habit. Exercise is more than lifting weights or strenuous workouts. Anything you do that makes your muscles work is exercise. Moderate exercise is just as beneficial for your immune system as strenuous exercise. Walking just 30 to 35 minutes a day can make your immune system healthy and more powerful against diseases. Dance to your favorite tunes, take the stairs multiple times at work, do jumping jacks and stretching at home – Just get your body moving!
3. Proper diet:
An improper diet can result in a weakened immune system. Look at your food closely; some, especially sugary and processed foods, do more harm than good. Foods that are rich in vitamins and minerals are great for boosting the immune system. Increase your consumption of vegetable and fruits like apples, bananas, cherries, kiwi, carrots, spinach, onions, sweet potatoes, and grapes. Garlic fights against bad bacteria and viruses in your body, and chicken soup is a good remedy for the flu or a cough, especially when made with organic bone broth from pastured chickens.
4. Don't stress:
Stress weakens both your body and your mind. Situations that create stress are often not within your control, but how you handle your stress is. Learn to fight and manage stress in order to take care of your health. Health must be your first priority. If you're not healthy, you are of little use to anyone else. Take a break from your daily routine, meditate, or learn to connect with people around you. You can also seek counseling if you don't know the cause of your stress. Don't be isolated. Interaction and sharing with people help in reducing your stress level. Hot baths, time to read, a nature break, having dinner out, etc. can all be ways to add in some stress-relieving care to your weekly routine.
If you have trouble with getting enough sleep, moving your body regularly, knowing how to eat for nourishment and energy, or have high or chronic stress, we have an exciting new program to support you in making positive changes in these areas this fall.
The Fall Clean Eating program is based on healing chronic health problems, inflammation, and weak immune systems. It TARGETS those things that are slowing you down.
So, let me ask you this, wouldn't you LOVE:
● Healthy digestion, free of gas, bloat, and constipation?
● To experience all day energy without relying on tons of caffeine and sugar to stay awake?
● A strong immune system that fights off everything that these crazy seasons throw at it?
● Glowing skin, healthy hair and nails, brighter eyes and even fresher breath?
We have a Fall Clean Eating Program for Immunity group happening Nov. 1-15 where you will be supported with menus, recipes, shopping lists, cleansing activities, a private Facebook group, one to one call with Andrea, our Health Coach, and a group of people cheering you on.

Their single 'A Punk Called Peter' (2015) is "a sort of New Orleans funeral march mixed with some fine and highly danceable reggae" Northern Sky. Their latest single 'Burning Back Wheel' was released in 2016. They are currently working on their next album with rock/pop producer Matt Terry (The Enemy, Wonderstuff, RSC etc.) – "There is a good reason as to why a lot of people are loving this band, I was drawn in the moment I heard them" M.Terry
Surely they are one of hardest working bands on the circuit with a growing and loyal fan base: Over the last two years they have toured the UK extensively, and made impressive debuts in France, Germany and Holland. Their festival appearances include Glastonbury (Avalon Main Stage), Hop Farm (Bread & Roses Main Stage), Cornbury (Main Stage), Secret Garden Party, Boomtown Fair, Wilderness, Larmer Tree, Kendal Calling, Underneath The Stars, Belladrum, Just So plus many more.
Influenced by an electric range of folk and popular music, Holy Moly & The Crackers play a moonshine mix of rock, pop, folk, blues, balkan, klezmer, ska, reggae etc.

Johnson Favaro has been commissioned to redesign a comprehensive library master plan for the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), to be completed in the coming year. The master plan will include seven out of the ten libraries located across UCLA's Westwood, CA campus which include Young Research, East Asian, Special Collections, Biomedical, Science and Engineering, Music, and Management.
With the introduction of the world wide web, the University anticipated that the nature of libraries on campus and how students and researchers interact with them would change. Today, approximately 3.4 million users access the UCLA library system online every year, and each year around 3.5 million visitors continue to utilize the libraries in person. Responding to the concept of the 21st century library, the University has engaged Johnson Favaro to explore ways to accommodate the impacts of the digital revolution and to better serve each library's constituents now and into the future.Read More

Drive-in Movie!
Last night we went to the Midway Drive-In in Sterling, Illinois. The boys had never been to a drive-in, and Jen and I hadn't been to one in at least 25 years. We managed to track one down.
I believe it was named Midway for its proximity to the middle of nowhere. We passed three dead skunks on the way, and the cicadas and bullfrogs were freaking Ethan out.
It was definitely an authentic relic, from the ticket booth...
...to the snackbar.
They replaced the old car speakers several years ago, so now you listen to the movie on the radio. Lots of people brought folding chairs and sat in front of their cars.
It was very Norman Rockwell, right down to the buzz-cut blonde kids running around. We even heard one dad calling his kids to come back from the play area: "Jeremiah! Jedidiah!"
I told Jen, "Just think if we'd given our kids Bible names. They'd be Cain and Judas."

All in From the Magazine
As the first women to produce published translations of the Aeneid and the Odyssey, Sarah Ruden and Emily Wilson are history-makers.
Wendell Berry on the inherent comedy in formal schooling, teaching that cultivates sympathy, and the importance of Apprenticeship
I'm now old enough to look back on over half a century in the world of education as either a student or a teacher. It's hard to make this backward glance without cynicism or to look ahead without despair. All this time the trend lines by almost any standard measure bent ever lower and lower, while the language of reform never failed to beat upon the ear. This world of education, and all the reformers in it, seem to divide themselves roughly into two groups: those who believe that in technology, brain research, mega-data, or some research-based breakthrough we will discover new tools and approaches that will revolutionize the way we learn and teach, and those who believe that recovering "the lost tools of learning" will spark another Renaissance and turn those trend lines around.
The power of cinema is priestly and connects what is in motion to what is beyond motion.

Why I moved my family from the City to the Mountains
We never dreamt of owning a business. Really, I thought I'd work at a church forever. I somehow landed my dream job at 23 years old, a young newly-wed, as the Technical Director for a large church in South Florida. Ever since I was 15, I knew I somehow wanted to work for a church doing media. I got the chance, and it was awesome!
I grew up always hearing my dad, a preacher and missionary, saying of his family, "we're here until God moves us". And so I said that of my little family, but,
"God would never move us, we love it here!"
I was doing what I loved, got to create short films with free creative license, sharing the Gospel through my camera. And the weekends. Man, the energy. I love the thrill of the live production experience. Being a part of making services happen. Responsible for what the audience sees and hears. Getting to reach out and touch a first time visitor from behind the sound board or in a small room with gear all around me. There is nothing like it.
And my team. I loved my team. They're an amazing group of young and, slightly older, men and women who's hearts were amazing and wanted nothing more than just to serve God. Being transient South Florida I got to meet and get to know so many people that came and went, plugging into Tech even if for a short season and be a small part of their story. It was a sweet, beautiful season of my life. A season that I truly miss to this day.
But seasons change.
They have to.
And growth cannot happen without change. Show me a person that hasn't gone through much change and I'll show you a person that hasn't really grown.
Our change came out of having kids! We've been blessed with 2 very awesome kids (in fact they're way awesomer than your kids). Sadie came into our lives 3 years into our time in ministry. And Everett, 3 years after that. They struggle with asthma when they get sick, and at times, that can be fairly frequently. We were torn between being at work and caring for sick kids. As Jenn wrote in Part 1 of The Yearning, when we were at work, we thought about the kids. When we were at home, we thought about everything we had to do. It was difficult.
On top of that struggle, we entered a time at the church of pretty intense ministry. Amazing ministry, but intense. I began a desire to do more than local ministry. I loved serving the lower case church. But I realized I wanted to serve the upper case Church at large. I wanted to create pieces that would reach beyond my geographic boundaries. In my small amounts of spare time, I would tinker and toy with ideas and throw something together for myself to scratch the itch, but it wasn't good enough. It wasn't what I knew it should be, what I could make. But I didn't have the margin in my life to get there.
So, struggle at home with wanting more family time, and an itch to create something that I couldn't scratch…our season was changing, but I didn't know it.
Then, one day, a friend of mine challenged my thoughts about moving. Why couldn't I? I began considering what if's. Options. What we were good at. What we literally could do.
It seemed that every single Sunday's message was written for us. The F word each time. Faith.
The thing about Faith is that you can't have it without having some degree of risk. Where's the faith if you know the outcome? How do you rely on God if you can dictate what will happen?
I realized that God had been preparing us the whole time for what was about to come. It was just up to us to take the leap.
So we did. My wife first, leaving her position as Communications Director, a job she loved and thrived in. Later, myself, as the Tech guy, leaving the team I loved, and the tasks that challenged and grew me.
And we decided to start a business.
99 Hills strives to help people tell better stories. Whether by video, social media, graphic design, or creative consultation, we want to help churches, businesses & organizations, or individuals share their passion.
Remember that friend from before? The one who challenged my precepts of my options? Well, funny thing, that guy offered me some part-time work to get going. And with that promise in tow, we drove up to the mountains offering lower-costs of living, a calmer, more relaxed climate, and the opportunity to start over, doing something we believe God has created and prepared us to do.
We love stories, and this is ours.

Sentinels of Silence
directed by Robert Amram
Folded wrinkles of reddish rock are wrought into focus. At times, the camera stays close, almost grazing the carved square grooves that it captures. At others, it breaks concentration, reeling away and panning out. A frieze becomes a single, small detail within a vast open-air formation. The geometric fractal is lost to the expansive surrounding topography, shrouded in the encircling spritz of a precipitous sky. We remain muted as we observe the hushed, hypnotic cinematography.
One of the film's first credits goes to the crew's helicopter pilot. Ascending into the atmosphere, flying low to skim the grass, it seems only fair that our guide is given such high billing. We imagine what it must have been like to shoot each take, performing an aerial choreography, surveying the site's acres from all angles against the racket of the aircraft's propellers. As the blazing blue sky gives way to a storm, the soaring strings of the soundtrack fall silent, while thunder clashes above the faintly acknowledged hum of propellers.
Words by Elizabeth Brown
The camera swoops over a dark, foreboding landscape. Sunlight pierces the black shadows. Eerie music sounds as old ruins approach, overgrown with parched vegetation. We are taken on an aerial tour, guided up steps and shown around structures as if we are walking among them ourselves. We are reminded of the lens's presence with every arc upwards and outwards, in bird's-eye views and panoramas.
The constant motion enables the viewer to study the architecture from every angle. Rather than simply recreating a single first-hand view, Robert Amram and his crew seek to capture these structures in their entirety. As the camera twists and turns about, it compiles for us a document of these sites that extends beyond the capabilities of a human visitor. It takes flight, winging its way almost as soundlessly as the sentinels that it surveys.

Must an art form's future be shaped by its past structures?
Share your thoughts on Facebook, Patreon, or Twitter.
Art history can shape the way art is seen, so whether or not future art follows a form's 'rules', it is given more meaning by the past.

Cameroon will be without stand-in captain Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting when they face Malawi in Blantyre on Tuesday
Choupo-Moting scored the only goal in the 62nd minute at the Stade Ahmadou Ahidjo in Yaoundé as the Indomitable Lions defeated the Flames on coach Clarence Seedorf's home debut on Friday.
Despite qualifying automatically for the 2019 AFCON as hosts, the Indomitable Lions are still taking part in the qualifying campaign in Group B.
However, team press officer Lucrece Djemba has confirmed Choupo-Moting's absence from the return match, as well as that of two other players.
"Absent from the trip to Malawi due to injuries are Choupo-Moting, Gaetan Bong and Christian Bassogog," Djemba revealed in a statement as seen by KweséESPN.
The absences of Choupo-Moting and Bassogog leave Jacques Zoua, Fabrice Olinga, Karl Toko Ekambi and Paul Georges Ntep as the Central Africans' options in attack.
29-year-old Choupo-Moting took his leave of international football during Seedorf's predecessor Hugo Broos, but has re-established himself as one of the Lions' key men since his return.
After making a surprise move to PSG during the summer, he has scored once in two appearances for the reigning French champions this season.

The professionals who study the movement of ground water and how it is affected by environmental problems how it is lacking in supply and how it is influenced by humans are called hydrogeological engineers. According to www.mtech.edu there is a shortage of hydrogeological engineers who have the necessary skills to solve water-related problems on a massive scale. The demand for fresh water is high and many parts of the world do not have an ample supply of non-contaminated water to provide residents. Without a sufficient supply of fresh water populations of both humans and animals will die. Therefore the job of hydrogeological engineers is not just important – – it's essential. Some of the typical job duties of a hydrogeological engineer include conducting tests on underground water samples to make sure it is not contaminated investigating areas for well sites and making recommendations on how to keep an underground water supply safe from potential hazards. When environmental disasters occur such a chemical spill a hydrogeological engineer is assigned to oversee the clean up to ensure it is completed properly safely and effectively. A hydrogeological engineer s not the same as a hydrologist because a hydrogeological engineer studies ground water and how it flows underground through rocks and soil. A hydrologist studies water that exists above ground. In order to become a hydrogeological engineer a minimum of a bachelor's degree is necessary. The subjects that must be studied in college include geology chemistry physics civil engineering and environmental engineering. The website www.salaryexpert.com reports that the average yearly salary for a hydrogeological engineer is between $48561 and $67585.
